Do not exit the loop prematurely

When we try new things, we always encounter all kinds of difficulties, and different people will quit after a different number of times. What programmers like to say is that we are all in the For loop, the difference is in what situation you are break; Some people exit threshold is high, this is able to adhere to a class of people, some people exit threshold low, such people are likely to encounter some obstacles on the exit.

The reason for premature exit is often the uncertainty about the future, the fear that investment time will ultimately not be rewarded, the greater the difficulty, the greater the fear, because the greater the difficulty often implies that the task needs to invest more time. So in fact, we are all intuitive economists, when we say "fear", we are not afraid of the difficulty itself, but the difficulty of the implications of time economics.

However, our emotional brain is relatively primitive, only according to the number of times or hardness of the wall to judge things difficult and not necessarily reliable, if you encounter difficulties, may wish to use the Internet, with a group of wisdom, to see how others were thinking how to do, most of the time you are not alone, you have encountered the problem has been met , you tread in the pit is full of footprints, not just because of a moment to touch the clue, find out the way out, this is not informed decision, ask a question oneself make exit decision whether based on enough information, whether I conducted enough investigation, at least, whether to use the search engine simply.

Imitating Mr Gartner's dictum: premature exit is the root of all failure .

Interest is everywhere, concentration and perseverance are really scarce.

Many people read the story of the book and come to the conclusion that interest is the most important. However, I think the difference between them and others is not that they have more than ordinary people's interest, but they have more than ordinary perseverance.

In fact, people are naturally curious about new things, it is difficult to find out who did not have any interest in any thing or field, however, the difference is that some people's interest can only last a few days, when the first difficulty, the first hurdle, they extinguished, but other people's interest sparks will become flames, the flames will become kindling, has been steadily burning for many years. What distinguishes them is not whether they are interested or not, but the fuel in their character that has not kept the spark burning .

A person who has a focused and persistent character can become an expert even in an area where there is little interest (not to mention that "I am good at doing this"), and that even if interested, it will soon be extinguished by some cold water.

The choices in life are far more than we can imagine, and subtle differences in choice make a difference in life.

Tangyavi classmate's story, there is such a detail attracted my attention: at that time she was looking for a job stage, the development of girls in the IT industry is very confused, coincided with Microsoft's Guo to their school speech, after the speech she immediately rushed to the platform to stop Ms. Guo asked questions about girls and it.

This is a detail, but I believe that not everyone has the courage to stop celebrities ask ordinary questions, we will give ourselves a lot of reasons and interfaces, I think the most common should be two reasons: 1. If criticized, self-esteem will be hit. 2. It is considered that there is no special information to ask. But the truth is the opposite: 1. The loss of self-esteem is not substantial. 2. You cannot think of any particular information that can be asked does not mean that you really cannot ask important information. don't think you don't know .

A small difference in thinking may lead to a lot of people in the time of confusion, conflict, and others are learning to gain valuable experience, standing on the shoulders of others over the obstacles. Tangyavi from Ms. Guo's most valuable information: girls in the IT industry can also have a good development. Confidence, is such a strange thing, even if you do not have the exact proof that the future will be better, you will persist, you will not exit the cycle prematurely, and the information from the experienced is the most reliable guarantee of confidence.

Do you realize that in the ordinary life, you make more choices than you think? Have you ever thought that some seemingly small choices could have a huge impact?

Think about it, try it, is there really no loss, there is likely to be a huge return?

The success of professional skills is the most reproducible

It needs only you in a field of perseverance to focus on, just choose a not too unreliable direction, and then concentrate on the special, and finally must be a master or extreme master. There is a lot of success in the world with accidental factors and the fate of the environment, but at least this is the same, countless people copied countless times, otherwise there will be no school and education.

Reflection is the most important quality of thinking that allows people to improve themselves.

Many people are not even adult after adulthood, the character will be difficult to change greatly. Character is such a self-fulfilling and reinforcing trap: If you are not easy to focus on, you will find that life is a distraction of things, your mind is difficult to stay in one thing for half an hour, so your time becomes trivial, you are difficult in a field with long-term accumulation and deep thinking, This reality may make you feel depressed, the latter makes you more distracted, the reality may make you feel anxious, in order to avoid anxiety you will seek other stimuli, the result is a vicious circle.

Reflection is the first step to change, we often easily find other people's problems, other people's mistakes, but it is difficult to find their own thinking problems, because we seldom think of our own thinking as a goal to consider.

As programmers, believe that no one can modify their own programs, and can modify their own program is the premise that the first program must have a way to point to itself.

Starving the donkey between the hay heaps

There are a lot of students in the confusion period, confused are similar: there are two ways before, in the end choose which one? "A career change or not a career change?" "Learn C + + or learn java." "To be a manager or a programmer?" "Some problems are not really a problem: like learning C + + or learning java." "The answer is both to learn and not just to learn two. Some questions are not a broad answer, such as changing careers or not changing careers, and need to consider many of their own factors.

But more importantly, some people will postpone the decision because they can't make a decision, but actually delaying the decision is the worst decision, and in delaying the decision, the time goes by quietly, and you don't have any accumulation of the road and wasted time.

If you have some money do not know whether to spend on a or B, you do not make a decision, no problem, because the money is still yours, but if you have some time, do not know whether to spend on a or B, no, because after this period of time, this time is not yours.

So, no matter how tangled, and do not escape from the tangled, trying to postpone the decision, since after all, is a painful decision, a pain back, think and investigate and make a decision and persist, as long as it is not too unreliable industry (believe that no one will be in the tangle after the election of an unreliable industry), After your accumulation will always become a master.

A lifetime of knowledge accumulation, self-study at least accounted for 90%

What you will see in this book is a recurring phenomenon is self-study, large-scale self-study, self-study, the Internet to find books self-study, the programmer industry is the most suitable for self-study of the industry, the network is the programmer's paradise, the need for resources, tools, more than in the classroom more than a hundredfold, Do not need the traditional education can become a talent, estimated non-programmers are. If the programmer did not check Wikipedia, did not read a few of the original e-book, not in the main mailing list at home and abroad have raised the issue of the quarrel, no technical blog record Learning unique experience, no subscription technology cattle People's blog, how to say that the body in this industry?

Finally, read the book or say "easier said than done", blame themselves, not the book .
