Harvard's 4:30 AM (Part ii)

        I believe many people do not have time to read this book. So I am sharing some of my views and feelings about this book with you today; I hope we can progress together!

• Most of the students at Harvard, they don't cut classes or be absent easily.

• In class, they pay attention to the lecture, take notes, and ask the professor questions in real-time when they don't understand or even start a debate. They strive to understand the new knowledge before the end of class rather than holding the "it doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, after class can learn again" remedial mentality.

• Almost everyone will use Google Calendar and other tools to make a to-do list every day, and list the study tasks of the day in 1, 2, and 3. Some students will further prioritize and give themselves a deadline to complete an assignment (e.g., "Have 50 pages of reading done by 7 o 'clock for dinner").

• Work hard when you study; play hard when you play. Many of them will be drinking and partying the night before. The next day they will be completely isolated. They "lock themselves away" and focus on reading a book, completing a problem set, or writing a paper. You sometimes can't find them in study mode: their phones are turned off, and their Facebook messages and emails aren't responding. High intensity of seclusion often can help them in a short period of time to get the learning task.

        After reading this book, the first thought that pops into my head is, "What was my purpose when I opened this book?" Because at the end of the book mentioned, one of the ways of thinking is "a clear sense of purpose, with a purpose to learn."

        If you have a chance to read this book, please share your thoughts with me!

Harvard's 4:30 AM (Part i)

        If it wasn't for my family issue, I'd probably be sitting in a class at the University of Washington with three letters of recommendation and a scholarship. But I have never complained to my son and my wife. On the contrary, I read books to him every day now. I've been reading this book to my son. It's called <Harvard at 4:30 AM>. This book is very popular in Asia. As far as I know, there are Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and so on editions.

 

        At 4 o 'clock in the morning, the library of Harvard University was brightly lit and full of people... In the cafeteria at Harvard, it is hard to hear voices. After each student sits down with a pizza and coke, they often read or take notes while eating. It is rare to see a student who eats without reading, and it is rare to see a student who chats while eating. At Harvard, the dining room is nothing more than a library where you can eat, an alternative to Harvard's original 100 libraries.

        Harvard is undoubtedly a myth and a symbol of the spirit of learning. At Harvard, learning is a kind of faith. Harvard has produced 40 Nobel Prize winners, 8 American presidents, and countless business elites. In this point of diligence, Harvard is not a myth; Harvard is just proof of the will, spirit, ambition, and definitive. No matter how outstanding Harvard people are, they have laid a solid foundation for their life in diligence and busyness. This is the real reason why Harvard people have achieved so much success. Taste the success of Harvard's elite experience, feeling the life wisdom of first-class institutions. After reading this book, you'll always find a reason to be aggressive.

        I love reading, and even if I am busy every day, I will spare 15-20 minutes to read before going to bed! Because reading can let me take in new energy and better let me exchange ideas with others, which pleased the communication! God is fair to everyone, and everyone has 24 hours a day. In their spare time, some people choose to read, and some people choose to watch TV and play games. Do not blame others for being so excellent, which you think is because of their good luck or rich background. That's because others are doing things in places you can't see, silently working hard, down to earth. So, do not envy, do not complain, and steadfastly do everything.

Regarding the Covid-19 Pandemic in China

        When a person is sick, it's one person's job; When a family gets sick, it's a family thing; When there is an epidemic in a city, it is the city's business; When a country has an epidemic, it's that country's business.

        When the worldwide epidemic becomes more and more serious, it is all because there is no effective quarantine policy! (In China, everyone is quarantined.) in other words, people who are sick and infected with the virus are isolated will help control the outbreak.

Zero policy is often referred to as dynamic zero policy in mainland China. It relates to epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic policy in which a confirmed case of an infectious disease is found. This means that treatment is accompanied by epidemiological investigations, the isolation of all potential contacts, and the containment of virus-infected areas to reduce transmission and the number of confirmed cases. It was initially implemented in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, after the popularization of vaccination, the deepening of awareness of the virus, and the decline of the virulence of the virus, most regions gradually withdrew from the zero policy in 2021 in order to maintain their own economies. Only mainland China and Macao worldwide are still clearly implementing the zero policy.

In order to resume work and production, we can also be afraid of the epidemic. No amount of confirmed cases and death rates can stop the conflict of the pro-democracy movement, which shows the necessity and necessity of resuming work! Symptomatic hospitals, and asymptomatic workshops, this is the world's standard. The shutdown policy is being blamed, not efforts to resume work and production...

After a fight against the epidemic, human beings continue to live normally, no one has changed the world, and no gods (China's leaders) have come down to perform... Just had to take some time off - what advanced experience can be drawn?

I repeat, whoever stops the resumption of work is the virus...（Up to now, the Chinese government is still in a comprehensive stop production, adhering to the zero policy!）

There is no wrong with setting up a stall (For the sake of people's livelihood, the Chinese government allows people to set up street stalls to sell goods. But it lasted only three weeks before it was shut down!). It is unfair not to go to work to get paid.

Why learn to use Office-Excel well

        One of the most important and challenging skills to learn is Excel. People who have worked know that the beginning of the month is the busiest time; a lot of data and sorting is very laborious. But why do some great gods get the numbers right so quickly? Excel technology is not very good. You can see it at a glance. Everyone who works in the workplace needs to learn and advance in Excel. Almost all companies cannot do without this point when hiring: proficiency in office and proficient in data analysis are preferred.

        In the era of big data, small data is also essential! Either App or ERP, all kinds of data are produced all the time. Personal sports, fitness consumption, address book inside the enterprise, customer information management, production planning, scheduling, and operation analysis all rely on Excel. Excel can be compatible with almost all data files, become a bridge between various systems, and is also a significant tool for sorting out data output visualization reports. Excel is equivalent to mastering a modern office language.

• If you're an administrator

Do you want an Excel spreadsheet that automatically reminds you of your birthday?

• If you're in finance or accounting

Are you already proficient in using various financial functions?

• If you work in the Marketing Department

Can you turn complex data into a clear chart?

Maybe at some point, you made up your mind to use Excel.

Why learn to use Office-Word well

  It's fair to say that we all spend a lot of time with Word. If you take the time to learn it and improve your Word skills appropriately, there is almost no limit to how much it will save you time and show you your strengths in the future. Although Word looks very simple, it is not easy to work with. Remember when you used Word? Did you encounter this problem?

Open the Word document to write, the software crashed, the results of writing for half an hour of content all disappeared, and people also followed the crash. When I write an article in Word, the content is written in half an hour, but the layout takes hours. The software seems very "disobedient," Trying to move tables, pictures, or adjust the spacing does not achieve its desired effect.

Using Word to typeset long articles or papers, various automatic catalogs, headers and footers, citation annotation, do not know how to do, to manually operate one by one, once modified, manually modify all one by one, wasting a lot of time. Watch someone else do it, and it's done in a couple of clicks. I use Word to do the resume, super garbage ugly, other people typeset to make like art and even can use Word to make a poster. 

After learning this class, Word is not difficult to use. In fact, wasting time and scratching your head for Word happens all the time, but we rarely thought about how to solve it in the past. Problems like those above can be avoided entirely with a short period of careful study.
