I. Introduction

 

When you see this question, you may feel a little funny: "This is another question. reading a book is just reading it again .. "That's right. We thought this way from small to large. We read a book with confidence. We read it from start to end! At any time, our "experience" has increased, but do you feel the same way as me-I have read a lot of books, and I am really confused, there are only a few pieces of content that can be integrated into your own ideas. With the increasing number of years, you will not remember reading these books, and you do not need to mention what the book is about! This is our long-standing way of reading... Would you think that too? If I can write down all the books I have read from small to large to form my own ideas, then I am so cool now! Yes, I often think so! So to make yourself more thoughtful, read more books, and then in just a few years, or just a few months, or even just a few days, the things of life will gradually squeeze out the cache of those books, and your brain will become a hard disk reformatted, and those books will have nothing to do with you.

To be honest, I used to be in this situation and was deeply troubled by it. I spent a lot of time reading it, but what I leave in my mind is a little bit of fragmented content, so soon these sporadic contents will also run away quietly, and the rest will be a funny explanation of self-deception-I have read this book .... In this way, I lied to myself for more than 20 years. Over the past 20 years, I have read many books, including textbooks, books for small people, Professional Books, and novels! How much time have I spent on this? I have been talking about it for 20 years. However, it is really hard to answer the question of which book I really have the deepest impression on, let alone absorb the essence of the book. It is estimated that there may be many people who have such troubles as me. Are you?

2. Understanding after experience

 

I often wonder if I have never benefited from my studies? Of course! "Cough, cough .." I want to write an SQL statement and check it in the database. There is a lot of garbage in the database. It may take some time, "select * from lifecycle where benefit from reading --> Execute! "(One minute... Two minutes... Five minutes .. Fifteen minutes later, the data finally came out, and junk data slowed down the system performance too slowly. It was time to make optimization.) Well, you are lucky that the system was not down, the following data is for your reference:

1. I think the English proficiency is still good. I have not followed the English field in some important entrance exams and job interviews. Due to the later concentrated study of Japanese, english is seldom touched after the CET-6, this reason I will explain below. Nowadays, many students are not worried about English. The scores of other subjects are usually good, but the English cannot meet the standards, thus missing a good opportunity for further studies. Looking back at my experience in learning English from an early age, there was always a flash there, which was a turning point for me to learn English. At that time, it was in the fourth grade of primary school. The school had just opened an English class. At that time, like other children, my English scores were not very good and it was very difficult. My dad is very strict with me. When he finds that my English is not good, he is in a hurry with me. At that time, I am afraid of him. When I am Lao Tzu, I am mighty ~ My dad graduated from high school. At that time, his foreign language level was almost the same as my level in year 45, but he chose to stick to it! He took out the textbook and asked me to translate the conversation one by one. I probably remember the conversation content:

A: What's this?

B: It's a pen.

A: What's that?

B: It's a penpencil.

A: And what's this?

B: It's a pencilbox.

A: Can you spell it?

B: Yes. p-e-n-C-I-l-B-o-x, pencilbox.

A: Thank you.

B: Your welcome.

Familiar with it? Later, many scholars accused our country of the conventional English teaching materials, so that students can only say "what's this" and "how are you? Fine, thank you. And you ?" And so on. Let's just say how I was abused by my dad during that time...

At that time, I couldn't translate a lot of conversation content, so I was ruthlessly despised and told me that I would write texts and words silently every night! I was afraid of him at that time. To cope with this issue, I came up with a bunch of cover methods, such as copying, writing, and writing on the desktop .. I have used it. Every day, I am overwhelmed by the experience, which puts heavy pressure on my young mind. I have been so persistent for more than half a year. As a result, you have guessed all the things in the future. When my English score comes up, I can find a text that I am familiar with and get the affirmation and encouragement from various aspects, looking back, this is a positive energy for the psychological experience, until today, I have confidence in English. Now, in retrospect, the effect of the cheat sheet is equivalent to taking notes, which makes my impression of English New and familiar.

2. College Entrance Examination experience. For those who have gone through the college entrance examination, I will not describe more about this difficult process. Everyone on Earth knows this. What I want to say here is that the process of preparing for the exam has the greatest impact on my progress. This is also a magic weapon for me to win the college entrance exam. At that time, I had the honor to be at the same table with a transfer student (also called a College Entrance Examination immigrant) from Shandong. He was one of my best friends in high school, and his study habits deeply influenced me, he was admitted to the China Public Security University and is now a member of the State security institution. What is his habit? Take notes!

You may see that you are smiling. "I used to take notes. No one knows this. No one cares, sometimes we may make some notes falsely, but most of the time it is East note, West Note, forget, and disappear. Note Taking is not the case.

In the big environment of the college entrance examination, we were overwhelmed by a large number of exercises every day. In many cases, we had to make more than a dozen papers every day. At that time, it was really numb. This friend of mine is used to summing up all the tests completed from start to end, recording the blind spots I don't know in a book, and reading them at any time. After trying this learning method, I have achieved a great deal of results. Through my own practice, I also have a deeper understanding of the notes. The following describes my understanding:

(1) You must find a thick book for taking notes. The quality is good, but it should not be too fancy or concise. Because you want to predict that when you develop this good habit, you want to write a few new things on it. If the number of pages is too small, you have to change to a new one, in this way, your knowledge system will be separated, and you will be more inclined to read new books frequently, and the old ones will be shelved by you, gradually the things you have learned will become blurred.

(2) do not take notes in different categories. Take the college entrance examination courses for example. At that time, I had many students practice a math book, a Chinese book, an English book, and a chemistry book... Basically, it is a course and a notebook, which is divided into different categories and does not interfere with each other. This is not the best solution. Our practice at the time was that all the content should be recorded in a book, and the new content should be directly appended to the back of the old content, and the form should not be too neat, there are various forms, circles, and hooks, which make it easier for you to have a deep impression in your brain. I call it "draft notes ", this is much better than the well-organized "sequential" notes.

(3) read it frequently. Note Taking is actually an arrangement of the cache of the brain, just like the content in your computer's memory is always unstable, and once you write it into the hard disk, this security is increased by several orders of magnitude (ProgramPersonnel, You do not explain), in the same sense, you understand a problem today, but it does not indicate that you can still understand the extent to which you will return in two days, the best way is to record the problem you understand in your own way and review it at any time. It can be said that as long as you do not lose this book, you will always be able to have a fresh understanding of this issue. Even later, I had to take out my laptop and read it several times from the beginning to the end of every monthly, mid-term, end-to-end, and bottom-up exam. I no longer needed to read books and materials, my confidence is enhanced to a large extent, because what I did not remember in this book is "Common Sense" for me, and all the usual points are included in my notebook. If you have candidates for the college entrance examination, please recommend this method to them, which will be of great help to them.

3. Japanese learning experience. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to study in the university system. Learning a foreign language in a university is indeed a very meaningful thing, because we have been learning English for more than a decade, but the results are not so remarkable, as a language that you have chosen to learn proactively, if you are willing to think about it, the progress will be fast. I started to study Japanese systematically from my junior year. At that time, I had just finished the cet6 test and achieved a certain stage goal. So I switched to Japanese learning to catch up with projects that the school has cooperated with a certain Japanese company, fortunately, I started to learn Japanese with dozens of students in my major. At that time, I was a Chinese teacher who spoke grammar and a Japanese foreign teacher who spoke oral English, therefore, the Japanese class basically occupies all lessons other than the professional class, and requires 20 class lessons in a week. This process lasted for more than a year. The biggest benefit for me in this process is still a large number of notes. "Draft Notes" once again played its magical effect. I recorded two thick books and recorded the whole process of language learning, you can go through your notes to clearly recall how you have traveled along the way. When I haven't been familiar with Japanese for a while, if I want to find some Japanese, I will first read my notebook from start to end, after reading it all over again, I seem to have returned to the previous state when I was studying Japanese. Just like a computer, I can only take notes for this purpose.

P.s, by the way, explains why I seldom touch English when I study Japanese. It is really easy to mix language learning. It is really admirable to be proficient in languages of several countries. This kind of admiration is not just about language learning. After learning Japanese for two years, I have been familiar with oral English and other things. Because of the foreign teacher environment, I have been trained in chatting and communication, however, during an interview in English, I found a very serious problem. I couldn't say a whole clear English introduction, and I jumped out of Japanese unconsciously in every sentence, haha, my thinking in English was totally restrained by Japanese, so I found that these two languages are in conflict, but I put the English language down to better learn Japanese, the recent work needs to be picked up again, but fortunately, the first release of Japanese language will naturally not be affected.

4. Current work. A few months ago, I changed my job to the current Foreign Company. The relaxed environment and humanized system of foreign companies made me like it very much. So I decided to stabilize it and make a career. I have received a notebook with the company logo from my first day of employment. Now I have used up this notebook for three months. In this book, there are not only work events, meeting, demand discussions, but also a large number of Reading Notes, which are rich in content, but all of them fully record my daily trajectory. This note is also a "draft", but I can really understand it. It is like a part of my brain. I will take this book wherever I go, there is a lot of time on the shuttle bus and light rail. It is as if you are talking with yourself, and you are very steadfast and fulfilling.

 

3. reading should be classified

The Ancients have long said that "it is helpful to get started". In the modern society where information explosion occurs, the methods for obtaining knowledge and information have become increasingly diversified. The rise of networks has made knowledge cheaper, ideally, a network cable can get everything you want to know on this earth. Ask everyone to think about a problem with me. No matter what kind of form, game, movie, news, Weibo, or so on, what is our ultimate goal. My point is that, in summary, there is only one ultimate objective-to obtain information.

Recall that in the era when there is no Internet, the main way people get information is to read, which is the most direct choice that people can think of at that time. Today, we have made more choices, and reading seems to be the slowest way to acquire knowledge. But is it a good thing to choose more? Scientists have confirmed (I don't know which scientist) that the more you choose, the worse the efficiency, because it increases your decision-making time and the reason for regret. Going online with Internet cafes is quite simple. You will often experience it. It is often difficult to concentrate on one thing on the Internet, you will be disturbed by various aspects, and various "Information noises" will throw you on. You will often be interrupted by other "fresh" information ideas, for example, the big news floating window in the lower right corner of QQ is annoying. For another example, if you want to tap into a PDF technical book on your computer, it is also very difficult. At first, it may be okay. After watching ten pages and 20 pages, you may be confused and want to sleep, I have never been so impressed. I want to do anything else and the efficiency is very poor. I am in this situation and have a conflict with the content of the large section that needs to be read by the computer. So I want to avoid using my computer to look at something that requires system understanding, because people have a mentality that they don't want to touch anything that I feel conflicted or tired, therefore, I try not to use this method to touch the content that should be of great significance to me. I am afraid that I will miss these classics due to temporary impatience. My habit is to read a real book, which gives people a completely different feeling. You can really feel the thickness of the book, reading entity books is more likely to go deep into the content. This may be because the habits of humans have been learning books as carriers, which leads to the evolution of the human brain, and the human brain is more accustomed to this traditional approach.

The title of this part is "grading for reading". What is grading? It is the depth of reading.

You may have the urge to read all the books in any library, but this is obviously unrealistic.

WHEN Xu sanduo in the Youth League knowledge Q & A competition in the TV series "soldier assault", the director asked him how he knew so much about the competition. Xu sanduo said, "I am stupid and I don't know what to watch, I ran to the library and saw d from a. I can't remember D now ). Do you really have such a person? Yes, yes, but it can only be a fairy tale. For a modern large library, it may not be enough to read a's life. Therefore, in the face of the vast sea of books, it is wise to choose to read some classic books. Not every book is crucial to our growth. Here there are classics and garbage. If you spent two years reading a pile of spam books, it would not help but hurt you. As Lao Luo once said, when he was young, Jin Yong's martial arts novels were very popular. The martial arts books published by unknown martial arts authors of many individual bookshops were named by Jin Yong, because there was no directory at that time, and there was no such thing as "Flying Snow, flying White Deer, smiling God, leaning against biyun". At that time, I didn't know how to pick out Jin Yong's book.

So how can we pick out the classic ones? This requires the help of the Internet. Douban reading is a good place. Here is a group of people who love reading books. You can basically find the books you want to read here, readers will leave some feelings. If the comment is too bad, you should give up the idea of reading this book, because it may waste your time and hurt you. If it is too far away, the classification starts below.

Level 1: There are not many classic books in the classic network. For our computer field, more than one hundred classic books are familiar to us, you should pay enough attention to your attitude towards reading these books and take notes, because these ideas need to be integrated with your thoughts to form your understanding, so as to play the role of the classic, because most of the classic's popularity is due to the fact that they teach people to fish.

Level 2: technical monographs-This part refers to the books written by senior technical experts or industry experts who have made great achievements in a certain technical field. You choose these books with a higher purpose, it is often selected to learn a technology more deeply or be familiar with an industry. You should also read this part carefully. Because of the technical difficulty, you should take notes to sort out your ideas, to form a framework of the entire technology, more details should be included here to help you better understand it later. Of course, you can take notes in different chapters, so that you can divide a large goal into small ones to motivate yourself to do it one by one.

Level 3: technical basics-some bibliography covers the technical fields you are already familiar with, but the content of these books is relatively basic for your technical level, however, you should not ignore such basic books. There may also be the essence you have not absorbed. Never underestimate the foundation of "Learn from the cold and know the new". Similarly, use your notebook to open a new page and mark the date of today, remember the vague content you mentioned in this book to your book. Maybe you will find that there are a lot of things you want to remember.

Level 4: Technology peripherals-for example, programmers, magazines, and technical blogs-do not read this type of information, and do not believe that you are an unforgettable master, your brain cache is limited. You must save it to your hard disk! So come up with your book!

Level 5: entertainment-This part has no direct relationship with your work and belongs to the part of your life. This part has more wisdom, but may conflict with technology, so if you need to take notes, please do not remember your technical and work notebook.

 

Iv. Read-Only classic

CodeThe code is changing the world. The programmer's time is precious. We are not the smartest person on the planet, but we are definitely the smartest person. Cool ~

We spent a lot of time on our needs, designing, coding, and testing, but we were always at that little time, except for the time spent in daily life and with our girlfriends, it's okay to leave the time for reading at work. Oh, yes, I forgot to count the time you spent on Dota. How long can I read books !!??

When a programmer does not work hard, he cannot do it hard. So the book is still to be read. Read-Only classic.

You can decide what a classic is. If you eat in this circle, you are very sensitive to technology. Bad books cannot get into your eyes, and good books cannot escape.

5. Don't worry about your time

After talking about this, you may have realized the importance of taking notes. In fact, this is actually the case.

Have you ever heard that Master XX has made hundreds of books and notes in his life? What do you remember? Later, after I started taking notes, I really understood this matter. The reason why the master became a master was really not an overnight task. This requires constant persistence and determination, this is so powerful. You need to know that the hundreds of notes are not just as simple as the notebook, but also the accumulation of thoughts. The thought is abstract and ethereal. The form of notes gives the thought weight and form, this idea is organized, reconstructed, indexed, and finally printed into the brain to form a large knowledge warehouse.

As the saying goes, taking notes may affect the speed of reading a book, but it won't let you read it in vain, if you do not want to leave something in your mind, you might as well go to TV series. Reading is to gain a long knowledge and knowledge, and to learn from others' good thoughts, to be part of your own ideology, of course, you should have the ability to accept such information critically.

I have a wish. I am eager to see all my laptops in the bus and subway one day, instead of holding a mobile phone and watching Weibo with a giggle!
