I would like to read a book similar to "The Snows of Kilimanjaro". Are there any books suitable for unemployed college students to adjust their mentality? I have been really anxious recently about how to break through the situation and how to find the track that suits me best. I hope you can recommend relevant books.
When you are confused and anxious, first see clearly the path you don't want to take. If you want to break through the situation and find the track, this is not a success study, and it does not teach you how to win. But it will make you see clearly how ordinary people lose themselves step by step. The protagonist was once a top student, but later he fell into a daze in class, skipped classes, smoked, and went about his life. I chose the wrong time to express my secret love for many years and failed. The university is in ruins and nothing will be accomplished after graduation. It's not that he doesn't want to do well, he just keeps missing the right time. Reading it will not help you find the direction immediately, but it will make you suddenly wake up late at night: it turns out that there are some roads that cannot be walked that way. Only by seeing clearly what you don't want to be can you find where you really want to be. Suitable for you when you are confused.
Great article! A masterpiece! A period drama born in the 1980s, campus love, urban emotions, two female protagonists, a sweet and sadistic novel, similar to a light novel, easy to read, and the plot is relatively fast. It is a history of emotional growth spanning 20 years. Explore the innocence and regret of youthful crush, the bitterness and sweetness of love, and the plainness and true meaning of marriage. Hope you all like it.
Wisdom of crossing the river: life lessons in wind and waves. The thousand-mile long river next to Dahewan Village not only carries boats, but also hides the simplest survival wisdom. The old boat owner Hai Bo has been crossing the water on the "Steady Rudder" for forty years, and the secret of zero accidents has been condensed into seven sentences of "The Mental Method of Crossing the River"; and the transformation of the young boatman A Yong from being greedy and rushing forward to moving forward with a steady rudder is the most vivid footnote of this mental method - life is like crossing the river, and the knowledge of sailing has always been the principle of life and doing things. 1. Observe the situation first when observing the water, and judge the danger before taking action - risks are in front, and remedies are in the back. Rivers never make waves for no reason, just like things in the world never change without warning. Before setting sail every day, Haibo always felt the water temperature, looked at the color of the water, and checked the wind direction. He said, "What I'm looking at is not the water, but the signs of wind and waves." But Ayong, who had just taken over the "Jieshun", didn't believe it. Taking advantage of the new ship's ability to carry 30% more cargo, the young man set sail before dawn and only docked after dark. He made a lot of money in half a year, so he laughed at Haibo for "always looking at the water to see the money." During the flood season that year, the river water rose half a foot at night. At dawn, an employer offered A Yong a high price to deliver a batch of grain across the river. Ayong saw that although the river was turbid, there were no big waves, so he agreed. Haibo noticed that the water temperature was cold and the dark clouds were overcast, so he urged that this was a "bulky flood" and it would be too late for the waves to rise. However, Ayong's only thought was "change to a bigger iron ship" and he just sailed out. When the boat reached the middle of the river, strong winds arose and the waves were more than ten feet high. The "Jieshun" was spinning like a fallen leaf, and it was about to hit the reef usually hidden under the water. Only then did Ayong understand that the price of ignoring risks is that there may not even be a chance to remedy the situation. 2. Losing money is not a loss, it is a warning to avoid disaster - keep what you have, and you can make profits in the future. At the critical moment, Haibo drove the "Steady Rudder" through the waves, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Sell the goods! Life is more important than money, keep the ship, you can still make money next time!" Although A Yong felt sorry for the grain and cargo, he could only push half of the cargo into the river. The "Jieshun", which had reduced its load, finally became flexible, and with Haibo's guidance, it managed to escape back to the dock. Looking at the scattered goods, A Yong burst into tears, but Haibo handed over hot tea: "You should be lucky! This batch of goods has lost money, but it has escaped the disaster of shipwreck and loss of life. This is 'losing money and avoiding disaster'." It turned out that Haibo had already noticed the flood signal, strengthened the ship's hull in advance, and reduced the cargo load, so that he dared to save people in the storm. Only then did Ayong understand that a temporary loss is never a loss, but God reminds you to put away your luck - only by preserving the fundamentals can you have the confidence to make a comeback. 3. Don't be greedy for speed, and don't overload cargo – a steady rudder can help you get through the distance better than rushing. After this difficulty, A Yong completely put away his greed. He no longer pursues "load more and run faster". He always goes around the ship to check the rudder and sails before sailing every day. If someone asks him to load overloaded cargo, he will not agree no matter how much money is offered. The young boatman in the village laughed at him for "turning into an antique", but Ayong only smiled - he remembered the fear of the "Jieshun" spinning in the waves, and he understood that "a steady rudder can make a long journey farther than a fast sail." Soon after, a bigger rainstorm hit, with waves as high as two people. Several overloaded cargo ships in the village were overturned, and the boatmen were killed or injured. Only A Yong and Haibo's ship was safe. It turned out that A Yong had stopped the heavy-loading business three days in advance and only ferried pedestrians. He also reinforced the hull and prepared life-saving tools. After the heavy rain, others were busy salvaging and repairing, but Ayong was able to sail the boat as usual, and the business became more prosperous - the so-called shortcuts are always hidden in the restraint of not being greedy for immediate gains. 4. When waves come, reduce the load first, and when trouble comes, turn inward first. It is more effective to make up for shortcomings than to blame the wind and waves. When Ayong invited Haibo for a drink, Ayong said frankly: "I felt bad when I lost a little, but now I understand that the money I lost is tuition." Haibo nodded: "Doing business is like sailing a boat. When the waves come, reduce the load first, and when trouble comes, turn inward first. Don't blame the wind and waves. If you want to think about what you didn't do well - did you not see the water clearly, or did the boat not be repaired properly?" Ayong has since developed a habit. Whenever he encounters difficulties, he first reflects on himself: Did he misjudge the situation because of insufficient knowledge? Or is process redundancy dragging down efficiency? He no longer complains about his luck, but like Heber, he spends time every day observing the water and honing his skills. Once the rudder was a little stuck, so he took it apart and repaired it overnight, even if it delayed his business for a day. Later, when he encountered rapids, it was the repaired rudder that helped him stabilize the direction. He gradually understood that when encountering difficulties, it was always more effective to make up for the shortcomings inward than to blame others externally. 5. Driving a boat is not fancy, being clumsy is better than skill. Do things simply and get to the root. Haibo often said to A Yong: "You don't need to use fancy skills to drive a boat. You can sail through big waves by holding the rudder firmly, seeing the wind direction clearly, and not being greedy for heavy loads." A Yong keeps these words in mind, slowly loses impetuousness, and only strives to be "simple and effective" in doing things: putting safety first when ferrying people, simplifying the process to the optimal when transporting goods, and abandoning those flashy routines. One time, a boat owner from a neighboring village came to ask for advice on "how to make more money." Ayong pointed to the river: "Look at Haibo's 'Steady Boat'. It hasn't changed its fancy equipment for forty years, but it has never had any accidents. The same goes for doing business. You don't need to think about complicated ways to stick to the bottom line. "Focus on the core and use the simplest method to do things solidly is worse than anything else." Just like farmers farming, it is enough to dig deep into the soil and select the seeds. No matter how many fancy tricks you have, it is better to be down-to-earth - keep it simple and go straight to the root to achieve stability. 6. Don't get carried away in good times, and don't run away in bad times - Only by enduring difficulties can you catch blessings. Ayong also experienced good times later: when the business was booming, some people advised him to expand the scale and establish a chain ferry, but he did not get carried away and still maintained the habit of observing the water situation every day. Haibo said: "Don't drift when times are good, just like a ship staying in the shallows for a long time. Don't forget that there are reefs in the deep sea; don't run away when times are bad. No matter how big the waves are, they will pass. Only by enduring can you catch the blessing." Ayong has a deep understanding of this: restraint in good times allowed him to avoid the trap of blind expansion; persistence in bad times allowed him to seize the opportunity after the water rose. Life is never smooth sailing. The difficulties you endure and the hardships you bear will eventually become the confidence to receive blessings. 7. Only when the helm is steady can the mind be upright, and when the movement is steady can the long-term progress be achieved - if you stay upright and work hard, you will be rewarded. Ten years later, A Yong became the most famous boat owner in the village. The "Jieshun" was replaced by a large iron ship, but he still felt the water temperature and checked the wind direction every day, just like Haibo back then. He often tells young people about his experiences, teaches them to see the color of the water, identify the direction of the wind, and also teaches them to remember the "Mind Method of Crossing the River". He said: "Blessings after disasters never come out of thin air - they are the skills you learn in hardships, the rules you keep, and the tenacity you have to survive." Today, the ferry in Dahewan Village is still busy, and the stories of "Steady Helm" and "Jieshun" are passed down from generation to generation, and the "Flower Crossing Mental Technique" has long surpassed sailing itself: Observing the water and observing the situation is the sobriety of fearing risks; losing money and avoiding disasters is the wisdom of holding on to the fundamentals; not being greedy and acting in haste is the restraint of being steady and steady; seeking inward is the transparency of making up for one's shortcomings; being humble and pragmatic is the purity of getting to the root; being obedient and calm is the tenacity to survive the trough; having a steady rudder and an upright mind is the foundation for steady and long-term progress. In this journey of crossing the river in life, there is never a natural helmsman. Only by keeping these principles in mind, keeping a steady rudder in the wind and waves, calming down in good times, not being greedy for short-term gains, and not avoiding the current difficulties, can we slowly settle down over the years and finally be rewarded - as Haibo said, as long as the rudder is steady and the heart is upright, no matter how big the storm is, you can make it to the other side.
A calico cat, a demolition notice, and a dilemma of human choice. This story, which hides the warmth of people's livelihood, conveys the hope and tenderness of ordinary days. You will definitely be moved by this human fireworks!
When you are confused, you may need to think carefully about whether what you are doing now is what you like, ask your heart, and awaken your spirit. (This book is a healing book with spiritual insights)
The author's writing style is very steady, the pace is not fast, but there are many details, like slowly closing a net. You will constantly have questions while watching it, and you will doubt everything along with the protagonist. It does not deliberately sensationalize, but the fate of each character is like a designed tragic art, reasonable and cruel.
