First, "Feng Tang's psychological method of success"
Feng Tang's books are generally controversial. People who like it will hold it, and people who don't like it will step on it directly, including the book Feng Tang's Method of Getting Things Done. Although the truth in the book is not difficult to understand, it is enough for a freshman. This book is enough to teach a teenager how to study, live, make friends and do things.
Of course, you don't need to read the part about the company and strategy. Other parts still have a great influence on a young person. At least let a person who has not yet formed a world outlook and outlook on life know what is beneficial to him and what not to do. This is not to say that Feng Tang is a mentor in life, but that even though he stole from Zeng Guofan, his thoughts were very positive.
This seemingly nonsense but correct idea only gives people a chance to feel after reading and reflect. Even if you simply believe every word in the book, it is not a bad thing for a teenager. Because when a person is out of the control of his parents, out of the heavy high school life and into a relatively relaxed college life, it is inevitable to let go of himself. If he can read this book at this time, he will have a ready-made reference in his mentality and attitude towards life.
Second, "Rich Dad's Road to Financial Freedom"
Besides rich dad and poor dad, Robert Toru Kiyosaki's The Road to Financial Freedom for Rich Dad is also worth reading. The former only needs to distinguish between assets and liabilities, while the latter talks about an important four quadrants of wealth, which not only distinguishes what kind of people are in which quadrant, but also knows who to turn to when you need advice from others. I took a photo in the book:
The meanings represented by E, S, B and I in this picture are not taught by teachers in college classes. At most, they will tell students to study hard and find a stable job in the future. In fact, this kind of education is not enough, and a certain financial quotient is needed. People with higher financial quotient often take a big advantage after leaving the society, at least he won't encounter too much financial crisis. On the contrary, those who have good academic performance and high salaries are heavily in debt, even if their income is higher.
I mainly don't know how to manage money, let alone realize financial freedom. In fact, in "The Road to Financial Freedom of Rich Dad", the author mentioned the way to get rich, that is, changing identity and turning left ES into right BI, which requires hard work, courage and opportunity. But I think more importantly, after reading this book, you learn to distinguish people you know, who is E, who is S and so on. When you need to ask them for advice, you will know who to look for to solve the problem, not who you have a better relationship with.
Third, "writing magic weapon"
I recommend William Zinser's Magic Weapon of Writing, because it is a comprehensive and systematic writing textbook, and because learning to write is too important for a person. No matter freshmen or white-collar workers who just entered the school, people who are good at writing have more opportunities than those around them, including making friends, promotion and salary increase.
For example, if you are a freshman, your writing level is higher than other students in the class, and you will be given priority as long as you have writing-related activities in the future. After leaving campus, your writing ability is linked to your future and money. You have more opportunities for salary increase and promotion than others, because a good writer is often diligent in thinking, expressing clearly and knowing how to put himself in others' shoes.
This book is suitable for everyone, whether your major is related to writing or not. After reading it, you will know the basic non-fiction writing skills. Non-fiction writing has a wide range of applications, including official document writing, interviews, writing columns, writing travel notes, keeping diaries and so on. , can be used in most occasions. As a freshman with light schoolwork, learning to write as soon as possible will certainly benefit a lot in the future.
Although these three books are not as inspiring as world famous books, and some even seem a little vulgar and tasteless, it is worthwhile for a freshman to spend some time reading these three books and find ways that are more or less beneficial to his study and life.
I wish you a happy college life.
