Introduction: There are many types of books, each with its own special purpose. The following is a selection of inspirational books that I have compiled. Welcome to read for reference!
1 , "Character Entrepreneur"
Zhang Xiaoping: "Character Entrepreneur". Railway Press, October 1, XX
Huang Guangyu, CEO of Gome, Zhou Jianhe, chairman of the board of directors of Zhuangsheng Group, and Lan Lixin, chairman of the board of directors of Dongxing Group Co., Ltd., these famous figures are Zhang Xiaoping's " The main character in the first part of "Character Entrepreneur". These successful people all have extremely distinctive personalities. Huang Guangyu: "He is strong and I am strong, but everyone is equal before the truth. Strong voices are justified. They are the voices of the strong, but they do not mean strong words." Zhou Jianhe: "The rapid development momentum of the company, Zhou Jianhe himself The extremely low-key style created a huge contrast. "Lan Lixin: "You eight 'adults' beat me as a 'child', but you can't make the 'child' cry? There are 1,000 planes in the eight airlines. , we only have one plane, and we are the smallest airline in China.”
The most common characteristic of these people is their broad mind and long-term vision. These two are perhaps the most critical character factors to their success. Lan Lixin used his mouth to exchange for 20 brand-new A320 Airbus to form Eastern Star Airlines. How courageous this is!
The experiences of these successful people also tell us: to be successful, you must be yourself. This may be a disaster for the sales of inspirational books, because most inspirational books teach you how to be someone else, or as they say: how to be a popular person.
2. "Life has happiness as its purpose, and love has reciprocity as its principle."
Wu Danru: "Life has happiness as its purpose, and love has reciprocity as its principle." Baijia Publishing House, October XX edition
"The happiest people do not need to ask about the meaning of life." This is Wu Danru's first sentence in "Life is based on happiness as the purpose, love is based on the principle of reciprocity" an assertion. The author vows to tell readers that if you want to be happy, you should not ask what the meaning of life is, otherwise, you may "only get the answer of 'no meaning'." But the author said in the subsequent text: "Those whose lives have meaning must be happy in their hearts." I really don't know whether the author is confused or I am confused.
In the beginning of the book "About Wu Danru", there is a comment about Wu Danru: "As a woman, she looks at life with perceptual eyes and explores emotions with rational thinking." After reading this book The second series of "Smart Love, Happiness is Just Around the corner" has a deeper understanding of this sentence. The author's feelings are indeed very rational. It is said that men and women in love are idiots. If they become wiser one day, they may stop falling in love. But I want to ask: I wonder if the author used these to deal with your lover when he was in love? If the methods in the book are all practiced by the author personally, I can only say "I'm convinced", I quickly bought a copy and showed it to my little girlfriend to make her "smart and happy".
"The purpose of life is happiness, and the principle of love is reciprocity." It sounds good. But if you look closely, you will find that the purpose and principles here are like castles in the air, gorgeous and nihilistic, visible but intangible. Perhaps, the title of the book should be changed to - "Life is based on the pursuit of happiness, and love is based on the pursuit of reciprocity." Then, be happy in the pursuit and reciprocal in the pursuit.
3. "Active Happiness"
Kong Jianxia, ??Li Qiongxin: "Active Happiness". Tsinghua University Press, September XX edition
It is said that in the first half of this year, the most popular course at Harvard University was a course that teaches "happiness": "Positive Psychology." It makes sense when you think about it: If you can't find happiness, what's the point of being a hero?
"Positive psychology" is a new research field that is emerging in the American psychology community. In the eighth edition of "History of Modern Psychology" published in early XX, the world-famous historian of psychology and American psychologist Schultz called "positive psychology" one of the latest developments in contemporary psychology. (Inspirational quote) "Positive psychology" believes that psychology should not only study damage, defects and harm, it should also study strength and excellent qualities; treatment is not only the repair and compensation of damage, defects, but also the treatment of human beings. Discover your own potential and strength.
It seems that we really need to learn how to actively make ourselves happy, instead of just waiting for the apple of happiness to accidentally fall from the tree of success and hit us on the head. To put it bluntly, happiness is very close to us and very simple, that is - active happiness.
As pointed out in this book "Active Happiness": Active happiness should have self-esteem and self-confidence, the ability to completely control emotions, handle the relationship between work and rest, communicate correctly with friends, and establish positive values ???? , and always have dreams - especially the last point ("dream"), which seems to be the most rare in this materialistic era.
4. "Growth is more important than success"
Ling Zhijun: "Growth is more important than success."
Shaanxi Normal University Press, July XX edition
Dr. Kaifu Li, the recommender of this book, once complained that China’s teaching methods are too rigid, “China’s education is like a production line. Every child comes in all shapes and sizes. , they will all be the same when they come out, because there is a unified standard." However, Dr. Li cannot fully agree with the American teaching method, saying that it is "too loose and does not pay too much attention to memorization." I believe that education in China is actually a choice based on China’s current situation. For a large country with a population of 1.3 billion, it definitely needs a unified standard for selecting talents. Although the current education system is often criticized, until a more reasonable system emerges, it is undeniable that it is a relatively transparent and fair system. In this context, we can learn from the advanced methods in American education to optimize ourselves.
In Ling Zhijun's book "Growth is More Important than Success", "e-students" are mentioned in a large amount of space, such as the experience of the Microsoft boy mentioned in the book. The characteristics of this type of "e-students" are: independence, confidence, optimism, broad vision and foresight. Frankly speaking, each item is not a particularly high requirement; but taken together, it is not a level that ordinary people can achieve. Therefore, becoming an “e-student” may seem easy, but it is actually not that simple.
The inspiration this book gives us is that we really need to further develop children's initiative, so that each child can express himself better and develop his own abilities and interests to the maximum extent. Of course, we don’t need to learn from Bill Gates who dropped out of school to start a business. He is an extremely special success, and most of us do not have such opportunities and abilities. If you also act rashly in order to achieve the grand goal that you have been brewing for a long time, then sorry, the people around you will definitely think you are crazy.
