Part 2 Reflection
第一章读得相当匆忙,看见大家一个陆陆续续往群里发自己的一周总结,心里很不是滋味,因为自己没做完。如今时间快到了,我带着最后一丝侥幸,希望把这些写完。生活着实比以前丰富一些,但都不是因为自己固有的一些东西丰富多彩。很多东西还是模仿别人的阶段。得有一些自己的东西,保留一些好习惯,自己的软实力:比如读书,自律地读书,快乐地如饥似渴地读书。
读得过程到时挺爽,也很有启发性。本来觉得这是一本成功学的书,但没想到还挺有意外收获的,也许是看英文一点一点懂了就吸收得很深刻吧。response-able,make and keep commitments,habit 1里面关于如何应对强势上司的例子也很有启发性。我想读到现在,这本书的成功之处在于他让每个人都有共鸣,对于描述的困难情况可以身临其境,对于给出的solution点头称赞,跃跃欲试,尝试执行,无论成功与否。
就让我带着这些能量开启下周的阅读吧。下周打卡少于五次,要不然真巧不起自己。加油!
写英文Summary的能力估计退化了好多,必须捡起来。加油!
