The book points out that seven years of life is a lifetime. A person can live many lives in one life, and each time is a rebirth. When reading this book by Teacher Li Xiaolai, my brain was running at high speed, and I accepted a lot of knowledge I had never had before, which was very pleasurable. Many keywords appeared

"Compound interest effect"? "Operating system"? "Practice" "Active choice" "Financial freedom" "Enterprising life" "Concept" "Methodology" "Self-upgrade" " "Switch mode", "Change focus", "Live in the future"...

But these points are whirling around in the brain, and there is no way to connect them in series. Finally, through mind mapping, notes, and repeated reading attempts, a context was sorted out. It may not be Teacher Li Xiaolai’s original writing clue, so I’ll help you understand.

1. It is proposed that the compound interest effect should be realized through practice, and guided by explaining the effect through one's own experience——? 2. The important analogy of the operating system is proposed—— 3. Concepts and methodology, this book The methodology of the theme of rebirth is determined, and the application of concepts and methodologies is elaborated from different aspects - 4. The means of learning "concepts and methodologies": self-study, reading more and reading good books. —— 5. Propose that you cannot fail to feel the awakening of progress, and supplement the Trumbo case as a reference

This book puts forward an important concept at the beginning: "Compound Interest"

Common It is a loan. If calculated based on compound interest, as time goes by, the longer the time, the greater the loan amount will be. Compound profits. Compared with inheriting assets, you can understand the principle of interest and the magic of compound interest very early. For people who do not have any inheritable assets, the compound interest effect still exists in intelligence, knowledge, and experience. In this era where it is becoming easier and easier to monetize knowledge, we should make better use of the compound interest effect.

Just knowing that the compound interest effect has no effect, the most important thing is to "practice" it.

In order to illustrate the effect of compound interest plus practice, teacher Li Xiaolai gave an example of his own: there is no rest day unless there is a holiday. From 1995 to 2015, 20 years, after simple calculation, we have 2,300 more working days than others. The density of time is 1.459 times that of most people. I made full use of the holiday break and achieved a series of results: "Breakthrough in TOEFL Core Vocabulary in 21 Days", "Everyone Can Use English", "Treat Time as a Friend" and this book "New Student - Seven Years is a Lifetime", etc. wait. This kind of practice is to cherish oneself.

In order to further express the importance of practice, a big tempting title "How I Obtained Financial Freedom" was thrown out. This is a focus that everyone wants to open their eyes to understand. Teacher Li Xiaolai used analogies to propose the concept of "escape velocity", which corresponds to making money quickly. The flight method of spacecraft inspired the methodology of making money quickly by getting rid of the acceleration of gravity. Only by making money faster than the acceleration of gravity of your wealth (without inheritance, debt interest, deception and betrayal, taxes and insurance, necessities expenses, etc.) can you achieve quick money and financial freedom. The method finally summarized: consider simple thinking, simple methodology, and simple practice to achieve financial freedom. I believe you will still be confused after reading it. But you must understand that this chapter is about teacher Li Xiaolai explaining the importance of "practice" and understanding the concepts and methodology. Practice is the most fundamental path. The chapter "The Two Lifetimes I Spent on the Internet" further elaborates on the compound interest effect and the superimposed effect of practice through my ten-year writing process.

The next four chapters are, "Some of my personal experiences and some summary" (the concept of summary in life), "Active choice-the key to rebirth" (joining New Oriental without doing sales, leaving New Oriental ), "How many stupid things have I done over the years" (apologize for the stupid things I did because of self-deception in the past, and take action to gain confidence), "How did I miss out on my whole life" (I missed it because of the temporary concept that I took for granted. seven years of life, a lifetime).

I summarized Teacher Li Xiaolai’s personal experience through these five chapters in order to brainwash everyone: Everyone makes mistakes, does stupid things, and misses the importance of life because of the wrong concepts they took for granted in the past. Opportunities, but as long as you are confident in your future, make active choices, and continue to practice them. You can still be reborn.

Starting from "We must continue to actively upgrade ourselves", an important analogy is put forward in the book, which compares people to computers. The human brain is like the operating system of a computer. Learn from the computer and learn from it. The way of thinking and methodology of very few smart people. Neither the computer nor the operating system is perfect, so we must constantly improve ourselves and actively upgrade our operating systems.

Next, "analogy" and the methodology of using analogy are explained in detail. Because analogies are very important, analogies will affect thinking, and then affect actions, and actions constitute our lives, so we must pay special attention to the use of analogies, and we must use more accurate analogies. When facing new things, you should especially warn yourself to restrain yourself and wait until you have enough understanding of the new things before looking for analogies. He also gave an example of the impact of success on life by comparing it to "climbing a mountain" and "breaking ice".

"Concepts are the cornerstone of all knowledge", this book has the greatest impact on me. Independent thinking means being able to use correct concepts independently and correctly. All knowledge is composed of concepts and methodologies.

The so-called success is to learn which concepts and legal theories you didn’t know before; which existing concepts and legal theories have been further polished.

Upgrading your own operating system means learning new and correct concepts and methodologies, and polishing existing concepts and methodologies.

In this way, the very empty word "growth" can be quantified. Growth is quantifiable. There is enough motivation.

And this is the methodology of the book's theme "Growth and Rebirth": learning new and correct concepts and methodologies, and polishing existing concepts and methodologies.

Don’t forget that the “compound interest”, “analogy” and “escape velocity” mentioned earlier are concepts one by one.

Next, the lover "How do I not quarrel with my wife", the passerby "In fact, I rarely quarrel with outsiders", the friend "What is a friend", the comrade "Become a person with comrades" "The four chapters explain different concepts and methodologies from an emotional perspective.

"How do I avoid quarreling with my wife?" "In fact, I rarely quarrel with outsiders." Analogize "communication" to an agreement between computers. And the methodology for solving and communicating problems that extends from this; "What is a friend?" Different understandings of the concept of friends are different at different stages of life. This means that you need to constantly polish and update the concept of "friends" in your own operating system. And adopt the corresponding methodology; "become a person with comrades in arms" and develop your own comrades on the basis of friends. You must truly understand the concept of "comrades in arms" and adopt the corresponding methodology. Friends who are skilled in one skill, pursue progress, and are sincere and enthusiastic have become comrades-in-arms through several stages of having the same goals, fighting side by side, and sharing the results.

The three chapters "My Sales Concepts and Methods", "How to Restrain My Desire to Sales" and "Problem-Solving Methodologies" explain different concepts and methodologies from the perspectives of sales and problem-solving.

"Serendipity" surprise is an interesting concept in the book: an event or series of events that happens or develops accidentally in a pleasant or beneficial way. And he summed up a set of methodology: you must believe that you are lucky, try not to do things that may be unlucky, stay open, continue to learn, create more connections, maintain appropriate randomness, and adopt a multi-pronged approach to advance together.

"How to Get Back from Bad Luck" analyzes the concept of "success" consisting of "skills + luck", and explains the methodology to overcome bad luck: Choice is important, make better choices: do more Activities that rely less on luck than on skill.

"Switching Mode: Enlightenment of Flies and Bees" explains what is the ability to think independently. Teacher Li Xiaolai summarized the methodology of "switching modes" from experiments with flies and bees: use fly mode when rushing into new areas, and switch to bee mode after finding a doorway.

"An indispensable methodology for changing focus" lists the applications of the methodology of changing focus in different places. Change the focus on emerging things: "Instead of asking myself, how can I use this general trend, but asking myself, what is the most cost-effective thing for me to do in this general trend." Perceive the general trend and change the focus: I must exist. Choosing to live in the future rather than the present, focusing on the advantages of new things rather than the disadvantages, and whether to focus more on your own future or the future of the world regarding self-confidence are also changing focus.

Based on this analogy between the computer operating system and the human brain thinking system, an important concept "fault tolerance" is proposed. That is to say, in real life, faced with the real world of imperfections, imperfections, and frequent accidents, you must set up a fault-tolerant mechanism for your operating system. For example, communicating with people who cannot communicate.

"Why we must study by ourselves" "Why ugly people should read more" "How to truly digest a book" "How many books do others read in a year" "Basic principles of reading" "What "Is better knowledge" "How to study new things"? "Live in the future, not the present"? "About saints and role models" several chapters generally put forward: To find a way to live in the future, learn according to the standards of the future, Learn new concepts and methodologies, and identify good knowledge concepts and methodologies through self-study, reading more, and how to choose good books. Become your future self in advance.

When you understand all the above things and find that you still have not made progress, teacher Li Xiaolai wrote "Why you can't change yourself in the end" "Reverse shaping, the undercurrent of power" "Actually, there is Give me the master key to all your troubles” in a few chapters. I would like to remind everyone, "Improving your own operating system is not an instant matter. It requires a process. In the process, do not be affected by the environment or reversely shaped. You must sincerely love yourself and never be soft. When you encounter trouble, 'Recognize', observe, study, and think about other people's failures and troubles" and added Trumbo's case as an illustrative guide.

In fact, this book has been summarized in the preface of this book, but if you don’t read this book in its entirety, you won’t be able to fully understand the connotation of each sentence.

Practice it now, upgrade your operating system, and achieve a new life!
