The book price is: 39.9 yuan, the number of pages: 360, I have carefully compiled the article Some readers’ comments after reading, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (1): The author of this book is my teacher.
I read this book from the perspective of a stranger. Although I love reading, I rarely read the autobiography of famous people. I always feel that some people nowadays are not able to truly speak objectively about their past. So I won't be any less critical of this book. In other words, in addition to wanting a signature, I opened this book with a critical heart. It took me less than two days to read it, and for nearly a week I was immersed in the protagonist of this book. In other words, because of his story, I fell into thinking about my past. This book is so objective that I even doubted how someone could be so unconcealed about their past, the "vicious" comments from people around them, their mistakes, their thoughts... Everything in the book, in my opinion The mind slowly settles into chicken soup suitable for different environments. We will not always stop at one problem, and we will have new troubles due to changes in environment and age. Not everyone has experienced what is described in the book. things, but everyone has experienced and will experience slander, mistakes and choices. He is using his own experience to tell people who read this book that your life may be bright or dark. You may have experienced endless waiting without response. You may also be looking forward to a future where you can eat pasta once a day. Maybe you I have also thought that the world has given up on giving you good luck, but all the unsatisfactory and even despairing lives can really be changed because of your persistence and dedication. Dissatisfaction really exists, but it’s really because I’m not good enough. So, at this moment, I figured out what had confused me for seven years. Instead of spending all my time resenting or pursuing other people’s faults, No, it’s better to think about yourself, whether you are not doing well enough to make others feel that you are a capable and useful person. Or, why should we live in the eyes of others? I sincerely recommend this book. Although we live in different environments and experience different people and things, the magic of this book is that each of us can find our own spiritual world in it. The author of this book is my teacher. I hope that those who are lucky enough to read this book will also find your own chicken soup for the soul.
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (2): What you pay will never be in vain
I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and spent a day reading it carefully. Sisi's book can bring me strength and courage. Family, friendship, love, passion for dreams and life, these are the precious emotions that Sisi made me feel. When I saw Sisi being hospitalized for viral myocarditis during college, my mother’s accompanying and optimistic attitude also reflected her. It reminds me of my mother, who is equally strong and optimistic; and Akun and Xiaoyu. I am very happy for the king and that he can meet such a warm-hearted friend. From being hospitalized and learning to memorize CET-4 vocabulary with Jack to winning the special prize in the National College English Competition, from helping teachers and falling in love with lecturing and working hard for my ideals, and finally fighting for my own new world in New Oriental, from Sisi, I saw The most important thing is not to be discouraged or give up on life. No matter how many thorns there are and the indifference and ridicule from others on the way to pursue our dreams, we must learn to make ourselves stronger to meet those who have brought us confusion and pain. People or things, thus wearing a crown of thorns for yourself. The most important thing we need to do is to give. Don't always think without doing anything. Don't always make excuses for not making progress, such as lack of time. We must believe: Better late than Never . As the book says: "Why should we fantasize about the future? Life will always give us many surprises. All we have to do is to move forward and find them. Think one more second, complain one more second, and hesitate one more second. Second, you will meet them later. Therefore, we cannot give up because of small setbacks. We must bravely pursue what we want and push ourselves. Life will never be the same again. Thank you, King. Courage and strength, I love you and wish you better and better
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (Part 3): The Growth History of Famous Teachers
As a teacher in a training institution, I really benefited a lot from reading this book by Teacher Zhou Sicheng.
The author's growth path as a teacher has been very smooth and bright, and he has not graduated from college. Because of his excellent teaching skills, he became a top famous teacher of New Oriental and a senior executive of Changsha New Oriental. At a very young age, many people have realized their dreams of driving a sports car, living in a luxury house, appearing on TV, and publishing autobiographies. Well, being a teacher can make money like this, of course, this is very rare.
The author mentioned a point many times in the book - those skills that are unknown and hidden will definitely be revealed at some point. Time suddenly gives you wings. Those so-called talents that have been forged over years of hard work and loneliness will definitely reward you double when the time comes.
His childhood experience indeed confirmed this view. The author learned violin and dance very hard since he was a child, and was even criticized by his classmates. His vocal cords were injured while learning to sing, and he was unable to speak a word for two years.
It is precisely because of these skills and excellent stage performance ability that he can continue to stand out in new environments, whether in university military training and theatrical performances, or in New Oriental teacher training and competitions , he quickly became a star that attracted much attention through his wonderful performances. And more importantly, these stage performance experiences helped him become an excellent teacher. The author in the book seems to be a genius at teaching. When he was a sophomore, he taught very well without much study or practice. In the later period, he grew up much faster than others, and he became a teacher at a young age. Won the championship in the New Oriental National New Teacher Competition, surpassing many people who were older, more experienced, and more educated than him. I think this is not something that comes out of thin air, but the previous artistic training and stage performance itself is a kind of training. Many people may be very nervous to say a few words in front of everyone, but the author not only does not know how to do it, but also knows how to do it. He is very expressive, so his performance in class may not only be like a teacher, but more like an actor. Such classes will definitely be more exciting and energetic than those of ordinary teachers. No wonder his classes are so popular.
At the end of the book, I mentioned a point of view that I find most rewarding: many people feel bored and unfulfilled because they cut their lives into too many pieces.
The pace of life of most people may be like this. They get up in the morning, have breakfast, catch the bus to meet a client, then have lunch, take a twenty-minute lunch break, work on a project in the afternoon, and then think about dinner. After dinner, I study for an hour, and then watch the latest idol drama on Hunan Satellite TV. By the way, there are also eight minutes of abdominal muscle exercise. After four minutes of exercise, I think about things in WeChat Moments... This seems very fulfilling. In fact, switching tasks and cutting off time consume a lot of time and energy.
The author said that when he was a child, he practiced violin for 10 hours. When he memorizes words, he starts memorizing them from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning, and continues to memorize them when everyone around him has left. He continues to memorize them until he goes to bed. He goes to bed at night not because of fatigue, but because of physiological needs. He will continue to memorize them the next day. .
The book concludes that for a period of time, there are only one or at most two key points, and other things must give way. It cannot be said that everything is important. "Heavy" is accumulated slowly. Everything is superficial and superficial, but weight and depth cannot be found. "Important" refers to a few key points, focusing on the advantages. Only by defeating them can we truly recruit them under our command.
Coincidentally, the day I finished reading this book, I happened to read an article on the WeChat official account called "As the CEO of a large company, he only allows himself to make one decision every day." , the theme expressed in the article coincides with what Teacher Zhou said in this book. The article mainly shares the life wisdom of an American entrepreneur, Micah Baldwin: focus on making an influential decision every day.
We make a lot of decisions every day, what to eat, what to wear, what to buy, what to see, what to do, hundreds of all kinds of decisions. Making decisions puts a strain on your brain as you weigh the pros and cons of each option. This can cause you anxiety, distract you, and even drain you. But the most interesting thing is that none of the decisions mentioned above will actually affect your life.
So, instead of worrying about inconsequential decisions, focus on the one that can truly impact your long-term goals.
It makes sense that Mark Zuckerberg (founder and CEO of Facebook), Barack Obama (President of the United States), and Jack Dorsey (CEO of Twitter) wear the same clothes every day (for those who need to make truly important decisions every day) For decision-makers, this means one less decision to make).
All in all, our work and life should be less fragmented, try to focus our time and energy on one most important thing, and simplify and put other things behind.
In addition to the two points mentioned above, the book also talks about many experiences of becoming an excellent teacher. For example, he fell in love with memorizing vocabulary in a competition with a top student, and developed a unique set of words by himself. method; amidst the criticism and slander from others, and New Oriental’s strict and unforgiving requirements for teachers, how to persevere and work hard to overcome various difficulties; how to work overtime and stay up late, grind classes over and over again, and write verbatim manuscripts, so as to make the teaching more effective. The effect is refined.
It must be said that the author is young and successful, and is favored by fate, but it is also because of his dedication and wisdom that exceeds those of his peers.
(As a Xueersi teacher, shouldn’t I advertise for my competitors like this? But if we learn from each other, I believe our team will do better!!!) < /p>
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (4): It’s great to have you, Teacher Sisi
Yesterday I just finished my last class in college. After class, I walked out of the teaching building again. I turned back and wanted to reminisce about the past few years of youth. It was quite sad on the way, but sitting back in the familiar classroom was not the literary and artistic style I imagined before, because there was nothing worth remembering. The first three years of college Basically, I spent my time lying in the dormitory and watching dramas, sitting in the classroom and watching dramas at home during the holidays. Until a few months ago, I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and started to memorize vocabulary and take online classes. Even though you have been using chicken blood to *** my Fighting spirit nourishes my patience with chicken soup. However, it is not enough to activate my learning brain cells that have not been functioning since the last paper of the college entrance examination was handed in. But on this lonely road to the postgraduate entrance examination , I know that there are many people who are also lonely on the road of growth. It’s great to have you! #loneliness is poison and antidote# And Teacher Sisi, you are my sobering medicine. You accompanied me to end three years of drunken (drama) life, dreams and death. Thank you very much!
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (5): The Warm King, an exciting book
I met the King on Weibo, and then started to read it every day Pay attention, at first I thought the king was a sharp internet celebrity (please don’t hit me), but later I found out that the king is a sharp, cute and cute boy! The most important thing is that he is a warm king and a warm-hearted teacher Sisi. I took a counterattack class and a voice class during the summer vacation. The two classes gave me a great shock. I realized that I should become a better version of myself, learn English well, exercise and lose weight. These are all things that can make me the best version of myself. A closer approach. All methods are used to teach knowledge in the classroom. Only if you have taken the King's class can you know what it means to be unable to stop. The King seems to have a kind of magic. He uses his success to tell us how much effort he has put in. His story is full of flesh and blood, with laughter and tears. , there is temperature! With hard work and determination, I have endured loneliness, but how far am I still from the person I want to be?
I’m really grateful that I met the King through Weibo that day, otherwise I wouldn’t be memorizing words, listening, and eating in a controlled manner every day. Thank you for reading your heart-warming story. Thank you for having me, thank you for "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote". My pillow book for 15 years!
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (6): You are the poison I am taking now--just a brief glance in your classroom, but you have attracted me for 10 years Mianmian Concern
I bought this book "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" when I saw Sisi linking to it on Weibo. Like all his books before, I bought it whether I needed it or not (of course, I'm not saying that you don't need to read the vocabulary for the postgraduate entrance examination if you have a PhD, but after all, when I was reading it, my colleagues always asked (I don't care which website will give me a discount or if I have a signature). Since Sisi recommended it, buy it. look! I have been poisoned by Sisi and am seriously ill.
But I know that Sisi’s book is worth the money and must be worth buying.
Different from "The English King Sisi is Coming", the book "Loneliness" tells the story of Sisi's mental journey from college to work, although the former also mentions the story of "Loneliness" Some of the same things as the other, but the latter has more profound feelings, richer details, and more tangled psychology. To put it more simply, "The King of English" is a silly and sweet article, while "Loneliness" is about abuse of body, mind and deep love.
My writing style is limited and I cannot describe the essence of it. I hope you will read it carefully and slowly understand: With a body full of fat, pimples on the face, and a mute voice, I am ordinary, dull, and lackluster. Classmate Sisi endured the long night of loneliness alone. Loneliness is because you can’t find a place to belong to and have no like-minded companions. Those who can help you fold quilts and wash your clothes cannot accompany you to memorize words. Those who can help you participate in speeches go to them when you are deeply attached to them. Go on a date with your new girlfriend. Classmate Sisi was isolated again. Loneliness is poison, your heart is bleeding, but you still keep smiling.
To endure loneliness is not to waste time. In loneliness, classmate Sisi plays the bow and plays the piano, spins and jumps, and repeats frequently. It is precisely the accumulation of loneliness that makes Teacher Sisi shine brightly on the stage.
Principal Yang and SK’s double-acted comments made Teacher Sisi full of holes as she tried to teach the essay “Should college students live together?” Sisi automatically and consciously summarized him as someone with deep love and deep responsibility. Afterwards, I ran to SK without any shame and asked, is it because you love me so much that you commented on me like this? SKIII Khan: You can be so shameless.
Forgive me for being too imaginative, but I always classify SK as an upright and powerful masked person. Xie Jishengsi pretends to be good, but at the same time he desperately absorbs nutrients and grows rapidly. SK is serious and unsmiling. I remember once asking him for a reading question after class. He categorically said that medicine saves the lives of people who should have died, which goes against the natural law of survival of the fittest. That is to say, medicine goes against the rules. I was shocked and speechless, and then SK walked away arrogantly without any explanation.
SK, who was so aloof, selflessly imparted every bit of experience to Sisi. He took good care of Sisi both at work and in life. From Sisi's shameless eating, drinking, sleeping and SKII, he learned a lot about her. Sisi's love.
Teacher Sisi thrives in New Oriental, and has won titles such as "National New Oriental Popular Teacher Champion" and "National New Oriental Outstanding Teacher". The scenery here is unique, and she looks like she is alone and seeking defeat. Don’t forget, loneliness is poisonous. The high place was so cold that the wild and impulsive teacher Sisi contradicted SK, who had just been promoted to principal, and the conflict finally broke out.
Sisi was deducted by her supervisor for being late and went to argue with the principal of SK. Simply Si originally asked SK for help, but was yelled at by SK. Sisi was so angry that she resigned due to the instigation of her supervisor. After being threatened, the strange and cruel SK actually made Sisi write a resignation letter on the spot, leaving Sisi to leave in tears. This is a typical cold-blooded scumbag.
Sisi is innocent, cute and transparent. He doesn’t think that SK you are the principal and our relationship is just that of a superior and a subordinate. He will still look for you to act coquettishly, so don’t hold back. Of course, you don’t have to react too much. Sisi also likes Teacher Beibei very much and will hug and cry together. Sisi can also borrow money from Muscular Man FC with a shy face, because he took a fancy to a shirt in Hong Kong that can open the sleeves. Blue shirt...
Loneliness is both a poison and an antidote. Sisi neither humble nor arrogant chose to study abroad and leave, waiting for the next bloom. I have liked Sisi for 10 years. Ever since Jerry heard your name in 2005, I have been deeply attracted to you. I met you in your postgraduate entrance examination class. This is why I still read the postgraduate entrance examination vocabulary. The reason for the book is because it contains your memories. I have been worried about you for 10 years. I read your blog and Weibo and learned that you went to the library to study. I didn’t know the specific situation at the time. After reading "Loneliness", I realized that you were unhappy with SK. I can imagine SK's anger, cruelty, and stern expression, but I better understand Sisi's shock and distress for Sisi's grievance. Loneliness is poison, and you have to rely on your own tenacity. It is also the antidote. The new life after Nirvana will be extremely shining.
You have already signed up for Sisi’s CET-4 and CET-6 online course on the sure-fire sentence patterns for high-scoring writing. It starts with the writing trial lesson, please don’t end it.
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (7): Law of Conservation
I recently read this book and a competition program called "Who is Next", and I was quite touched. . The pressure we feel and the cruelty of reality can inspire more of our potential. As long as we don't get depressed and keep working hard, even if there is only a small progress, our own light will eventually shine. I really admire Teacher Sisi’s tenacity, resilience, and her own humor and aura.
Looking back on my past 20 years, the mistake of my first love made me clearly know what kind of emotion I wanted; I fell ill because of the immaturity of my first job, and I realized that I was mentally incompetent. There are so many wrong perceptions, so I study hard to read and try to change. Although the process is long and there will be times of stagnation, but keep looking forward, is the day when I will break out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly still far away? I once thought that when the most sincere friendship broke down, Heartache gives me more time to enrich myself. Loneliness is inevitable, but isn’t it this loneliness that will create a unique me? Thinking about it, it really verified Teacher Sisi’s “law of conservation”!
I hope that one day I can grow into a unique intellectual woman of the new era who is not bound by dogma! I really want to listen to Teacher Sisi’s class in person and feel the invisible power.
After writing so much, I have to study hard! Huai Ting!
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (8): You have nothing to be afraid of, because you have nothing to lose.
This book is like poison. People can't stop. Just looking at the name makes people think it is a sad book, but when you pick up this book and read it, you will find that sadness is nothing. Before the king in the book transformed into what he is today, loneliness was his main theme, but it did not keep him negative. It became a force, a spiritual force that could not be suppressed, allowing him to keep going until Metamorphosis. We have so many similarities with the king in the book, the same loneliness, the same confusion in reality, but in the end the king became the king, what about us? Friends who are confused and want to change the status quo, maybe you can find the answer from this book... Finally, there is an excerpt from the book that influenced me and touched me: "You have nothing to be afraid of, because you have nothing to lose."
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (9): Every adversity is an encounter with beauty
Open the title page, it is A man's monologue on the road. Coincidentally, I was also sitting on the train bound for Changsha, reading this book.
What will this book say? Could it be a book full of chicken soup?
——That’s what I thought.
Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Initially, I bought this book because of the legendary experience of Teacher Sisi, so I wanted to see what his first autobiographical book would be like. Also because the title of the book is indeed a bit risqué.
After I started reading, I felt that the teacher who was usually far away from the mobile phone screen seemed, in fact, not as good as I thought. I couldn't help but start to get serious, with a bit of a picky taste.
As I read, I realized that the ordinary college student in the book is fat, has low self-esteem and is a bit of a girly boy. It was as if he slowly walked up to me and told me his story in a normal and friendly way. I saw his fear and uneasiness, and I seemed to see the shadow of me in my heart.
He is an acne-prone boy.
Yes, having acne is really a very embarrassing thing. For those who have never had acne, you will never understand why you suddenly wake up one night and feel like "thousands of pear trees are blooming". I also have acne. I have such low self-esteem that I dare not look at my face in the mirror. I would lower my head unconsciously when people come and go. When my classmates said, "You are really scary" and "Your face seems rotten, I can't even look at you" and "If you didn't have acne, you would still be a beauty" while forcing a smile. Haha, I'm not being miserable. I kept it in my heart for a long time and pretended to be optimistic. When I saw him, he told me with his actions that it didn't matter, it was just a pimple, and I should do whatever I needed to do. Be brave enough to be yourself, and there will always be people who don't care about your external shortcomings, and there will still be people who will give you friendship and warmth. I was very touched when I saw him gain friendship in the end. I suddenly felt that my heart, which was broken into pieces of glass, would be broken if it was broken. Anyway, a stronger heart would grow.
He is also an optimistic person.
When I read that he fainted instantly and was hospitalized, my heart suddenly tightened. Then I saw that he was able to accept new things all the time without getting depressed in the hospital bed. I deeply admired him in my heart. . How many times have I deceived and paralyzed myself for one reason or another. The excuse "I'm just sick and I don't want to learn" seems to be particularly tolerable when applied to myself. Sometimes, I really have a lot of ideas and steps. But in the end nothing happened. Seeing him, there were long-lasting ripples in my heart. It said to myself quietly and coldly: "You see, there really is such a person. Why can't you do it? Why are you so far behind him?" , is this the reason for your love?” Or when you are pointing out that your family background is not good and you want everything, are you really paying attention to what you are doing now?
You are further away from it, have you noticed?
You will be immersed in fantasy and cannot extricate yourself. You will get such inner experience in fantasy, which consumes all your blood and passion. When it is time for you to do it, your blood has already So cool. As early as in the fantasy, you were satisfied and got everything, and all your expectations were redeemed in that world. Can you still move? When reality scratches you with thorns, you cry out in pain! When I woke up, I could not wait to sink into the world of fantasy.
This "you" is the reflection of me in the eyes of others and in the eyes of the "true self".
He is also a forgetful person.
He enthusiastically did a lot for others, but was betrayed in the end. I also felt that feeling of resentment. I am a student, and classmates are not as lethal as they are in the workplace. Maybe I just felt one percent of him. But he seemed to have a heart made of crystal. Exquisite, crystal clear and flawless. He will double the damage he receives and convert it into his own strength, telling the person who hurt him that he will not be knocked down by him, and then continue to help other people, people he thinks are in need of help. I have never experienced this kind of strong and domineering action.
"Since life is cruel to us, we must be twice as kind to ourselves." We must redouble ourselves to become better people so that we can truly get our dreams. Giving up on yourself, handing yourself over to fate, and letting it transform you into something it doesn't even know is the greatest torture.
Please forgive me for the poor writing style and lack of emotion. What I want to say are all from my heart. I personally think that reading an autobiographical book is a good book if you can see yourself in the book and understand your own heart and the "antidote" better. Here, thank you to Teacher Sisi, and thank you to him in the past for making me realize many of my problems. A person's words reflect a person's thoughts. In the book, I got to know Teacher Sisi more vividly and profoundly, which gave me the courage to change and more firmly establish the confidence to break through the shackles, because I am not a weirdo, and the loneliness of countless people is the antidote. I enjoy it as much as they do.
Thoughts after reading "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" (10): I hold your hand and don’t want to let go
This is my first book review dedicated to Teacher Sisi, I read this book when I was tired from climbing a mountain, read it when I was tired from riding back to school, and read it again today when I was taking a drool class. I read it three times and still couldn’t bear to write a review. Quoting from the original blue book of "Level 4 Words Laughed By". Open it, go inside, and you will definitely see an unprecedentedly splendid world.
Of course, you will say Chicken Soup for the Soul, what is the use of reading other people's biographies? Yes, it is of no use. Relying on yourself is the real thing. And Zhou Sicheng's book "Loneliness is Poison and Antidote" made me intoxicated after reading it. In my own world, I think a lot. Even though I have always been rooted in bookstores and libraries since I was a child, I can't bear to read it in one sitting. Believe me, you will benefit a lot after reading this book, and you will also want to change yourself, work hard in a better direction, and change.
Don't hesitate, the content of the book will definitely have surprises that you can't think of, not to mention this love sentence that appears in your mind from beginning to end: Promise, I won't want to let go when I hold your hand
