To be old and learn to be old

Investment in knowledge always gets the best return

--Preface

"The programmer's path from the small to the experts," said the words: "Your knowledge and experience is your most important professional wealth." Unfortunately, they are an aging asset, and your knowledge will become obsolete as new technologies, languages and environments emerge. "It technology is developing rapidly, new technologies are emerging, with good learning ability, timely access to new knowledge, at any time to supplement and enrich themselves, has become the core competitiveness of programmers professional development."

As we all know, now is a knowledge explosion era, knowledge update very quickly. It is estimated that the knowledge that a university graduate has learned, within 2 years after graduation, is valid for only 5%. For the software industry, this situation is more obvious, we rely on, not because of how much knowledge we have now, but how strong we have the ability to learn. Everyone can learn, but different people learn the effects vary greatly. A good learner, first of all, should be a good reader, know how to study knowledge efficiently, and have a good mentality. Only in this way can we become an effective learner and achieve a remarkable process of life.

Knowing this, you may have this idea: "Is it too late?" "I want to tell you a story: Shi is a famous musician in ancient China, one day, Shi is playing for Jinping, suddenly heard Shinpei public sigh said:" There are a lot of things I do not know, but I am now more than 70 years old, it is too late to learn it! "Shi smiled and replied," Then hurry up and light the candle. " "Shinpei a little unhappy:" What do you mean? What is the relationship between knowledge and candles? irrelevantly replying, you didn't mean to tease me, did you? Shi hurriedly explain: "I how dare to tease the King you ah!" But I heard people say, when I was young, learning, like walking in the sun, in the prime of learning, like walking in the midday sunshine, learning in old age, that is, at night lit candles carefully forward. Although the candle light is weak, compared to the sun, but better than the dark. "Jinping listened and nodded," he said. This story to tell us a truth: Live to Old, learn old, know the long, life has. Every person from the date of birth, learning becomes the whole life of a basic activity, from childhood, adolescence, youth, middle-aged to old age, learning will accompany the whole life course of people and affect the development of human life. The ancients said: "The book Mountain has no royal road for the path, the work of the endless bitter boat." "There is no limit to learning, it is necessary for every upward person." If you want to keep on improving, you have to live until you are old enough to learn.

Know that after living to learn the old truth, we still have to study meditation, anxious for the learning process is a universal mentality, which can be understood. After all, as a programmer, to learn something really too much, and the society is so impetuous, let people feel that everything is so insecure, uncertain, it seems that only learn faster, to keep up with the pace of society. But "haste", want to quickly learn, often will form a hammer in the east, a wooden club learning style, every point has no thoroughly understand. If the heart sinks, the knowledge will not sink down. To become a true master, can only quiet heart, step by step slowly. Learning is the process of continuous life, life, is a process of self-improvement. Zi Yue: "I ten have five and ambition to learn, 30 stand, 40 and perplexed, 50 and know the destiny, 60 and Biddings, 70 and histrionic, not over the moment." Confucius is also not a natural saint, also in the continuous learning, progress, from the "Zhi to learn" to "histrionic, not over the moment", Confucius took a total of 55 years.

As a programmer, you need to constantly enrich your knowledge base. What we know, like a white circle, is the dark unknown world outside the circle. The larger the circle, the more dark parts it touches. We can only stop learning to break more darkness and find more light. For a good programmer, the breadth and depth of knowledge is important to grasp the technical details, is to write high-quality code guarantee.
