If you don't do some things now, you will never do them in your life

Chapter 17 Listening to Old Songs (2)
Sometimes, I would also feel the excited expression of the children next to me who took the train for the first time.The expressions of the people on the train are also worth observing. Some people have expressions of thinking along the way. He may be thinking about the purpose of this trip.

It is also interesting to listen to the conversation of the people sitting next to you.Sometimes, the kind people next to me will give me an orange they brought with them in the car.

I usually take a book on the train and read my book quietly in the car.At night, when the passengers around me were asleep, I was still reading a book while feeling myself moving fast in the dark.Listen to the whistle of a train coming in at night.

On the train, I usually bring my own food and drink, they are very simple, bread and mineral water.When I was hungry, I took them out and enjoyed them slowly while watching the scenery.

Because I like to travel "by train", so, taking the train is the focus of travel.Therefore, I generally don’t choose express trains, but I like the kind of trains that can stop at the stations continuously. Every time I arrive at a station, I can get off to breathe the local air. Sometimes, I even stop at a station that I like. Get out of the car, go out and have a look.

Taking a train is a slow, free and happy journey.It is an attitude to life that cannot be experienced by flying directly to the destination.

Clean your computer from the inside out

If you are not a professional, some people will at most wipe the case and display screen as "cleaning the computer".

You may not know that the accumulation of dust will reduce the computer's system operating speed, cause a short circuit of the electronic components inside the case, and cause inexplicable crashes and so on.The bacteria accumulated on the keyboard and mouse can spread the disease.A dusty monitor isn't a breeding ground for germs, but it can do a lot for your eyes.

Therefore, it is necessary to clean the computer regularly.

Dust is always easy to accumulate in the chassis, which will affect the work of internal power supply lines and cooling fans over time.

With the accumulation of dust on the fan blades and the motor, the fan will work harder and harder, which will lead to overheating inside the case and unstable system operation.

You can open the case cover with the power off.The air intake fan located at the front of the case should blow from the outside to the inside; the exhaust fan located at the rear of the case should blow from the inside of the case to the outside.If you don't know how to open the case, ask your colleagues or friends to help you.

Once you've cleared the dust from the inside of the case, it's time to clean the display.

The liquid crystal display can be wiped with a soft cloth soaked in clean water without using any detergent.

It should be noted that the cloth must not be too wet, just let the soft cloth dampen a little, otherwise, it will be troublesome if liquid flows into the display.

The hardest thing to clean is the keyboard.Carefully turn the keyboard upside down and shake it gently, so that some of the residue will fall off, but this is not enough, there are still some residues stuck inside the keyboard, at this time you can use a hair dryer to help blow out the residue, Then wipe the surface of the keyboard with the commonly used disinfectant and cleaner for electronic products on the market to kill bacteria.

After cleaning the outside of the computer, the work is only half done, and the garbage inside the computer also needs to be cleaned up!
This job requires a certain amount of patience and time, so it's best to find a time when you have a lot of free time.

Go through all the data on each disk in your computer and clear out unnecessary things.

Examine each file and recall what it did and meant to you when it was created.If you no longer need to keep it, delete it.

There are some things that you know you will never use again, but you just don’t want to delete them. This time, you can make a trade-off.Delete those documents that you think you still need, but haven't opened for a long time.

After organizing the files, you will find that there is a lot of space on the computer. At this time, you can load some new things.Such as a design software, or an electronic magazine.These things will bring new content to your life.At this time, you will find that the speed of the computer is much faster than before cleaning.People who believe in simple living don't watch TV
A friend once told me that he is a person with poor self-control. When he often sees the TV, he can’t help but pick up the remote control panel, and he is unwilling to put it down until he has browsed all the channels.There is also a friend who is obviously sleepy, but is reluctant to turn off the TV, even if he falls asleep listening to the sound of the TV, and then is awakened by the actor's sudden yell...

Television has caused many people to develop mild mental illness unknowingly.

Some people say that watching TV is the third-ranked activity after work and sleep, which shows that it is the most time-consuming but least meaningful activity.

Of course, there are also useful content on TV, such as news, market reports, weather forecast and so on.

But most of what's on TV is pure entertainment, and the vulgarity is getting worse by the day.

People who like to watch TV are easily influenced by vulgar values.Vulgar values ​​will control your thinking and worldview.

People who stare at the screen for a long time will have bloodshot eyes and damage to the spine.Spending an entire day sitting in front of a talking black box with pictures is a waste of time.

Watch less TV, or even no TV, from now on.

But it's not asking you to sell the TV. If you need to see what the weather will be like tomorrow, or care about the latest current events, you can also take a look.Just stop caring about entertainment news that has nothing to do with your life.

Just don't make TV a part of your life.

Of course, you have to do all of this willingly. If you are reluctant, it will become very difficult.There is only one life. After work, I finally have the time that I can control. Why not use it to do more fulfilling things?

There are many other things in life that are interesting.Without TV, your life will be more active and proactive.Spending time watching TV to read, write, or learn a musical instrument, grow flowers, read a book, learn a new favorite skill, etc., can all be meaningful.Start now, carefully choose the visitors in your life
Who are the visitors in your life?Are they all good teachers and friends who will benefit you?Do they bring you joy, or sorrow?

In 10 minutes, write the names of everyone you want on a piece of paper.Then, you put one of the following three types in front of each name.

Check out the guest list that's already in your life!categorize them
Type 1 - the dragging type (the person who vents your anger and pulls you down).

Type 2 - Pillar type (people who help you maintain the status quo).

Type 3 - Mentor and friend type (people who push you into new worlds and new experiences).

Take a look at:
Who are the visitors in my life?

Am I meeting too many scumbags?
Do I not have enough pillars?
How many good teachers and helpful friends do I need?
After my friend Ms. Ma took this test, she found that everyone around her was in the first category—the dragging type.These people hurt her and made her always depressed.There are very few good teachers and helpful friends who really push her when she needs it.

There are only so many people we can meet in our lifetime.So, your ultimate goal is to choose carefully the visitors in your life.We can't move forward forever. Sometimes, we should stop and think, what kind of people have walked into my life recently?
We should mercilessly kick off those who are behind us. As long as he is on the list, we should make a decision quickly without hesitation.

Sometimes we find a friend who acts as a mentor and a supporter for a while.Experts have found that the trait shared by happy relationships is "mutual support."So when you meet friends who support your dreams, you must cherish them!Arrange regular work and rest for yourself

I have a friend who broke into Beijing with bare hands.In just a few years, her career has become successful and she can earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year.She told me that success is inseparable from hard work.She works 15 hours a day.She smokes two packs of cigarettes a day.Faced with a large amount of money every day, she will lose millions if she is not careful, and she is under great pressure.It was getting harder and harder for her to relax and required a nightly drink before bed to help her fall asleep.She was on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown, suffering from high blood pressure and severe migraines.What are money and possessions worth without health?Stress is often accumulated day after day, and many people say they are very tired every day.

We walk through life with fanaticism and never stop.We don't have time to appreciate the sunset on a summer evening; we don't have time to smell the flowers in spring; we don't have time to look up at the stars; we don't have time to listen to the birds singing.

You have to learn to relax your mind.Every day, we all find time to stop what we are doing and do some contemplation, meditation, and relaxation.

In each week, you must have one day dedicated to rest.On this day, please forget all the troubles in the office, forget about the upcoming phone bill, and forget who brought you the unhappiness yesterday.Do nothing this day, just rest well.

Rest rejuvenates your mind, body and spirit.You can't get a steady stream of health without enough rest for your body and mind.

All living things in the world need rest - humans, animals, even a piece of land, it is nature's requirement.From now on, please learn to schedule regular relaxation and rest.From now on, be gentle with others and say hello to everyone you meet.

How many people did you greet yesterday?How many people do you say "good morning" to when you go to work in the morning?Saying hello is the most relaxing and ordinary thing in daily life, it can bring you friendship, warm feeling, and lighthearted mood.Have you ever felt like this: you meet your neighbors in the corridor every day, although you never say hello, but every morning you pass by each other and your eyes meet, there is always a slight embarrassment when you go downstairs together.

Maybe you have thought about saying hello to him countless times, but you always feel that you can't catch the "best time".You are afraid that inappropriate greetings will embarrass each other even more, and even offend each other.

Starting from today, if you meet someone you are not familiar with, when your eyes meet, please raise your hand frankly and try to say "Hello" or "Hi".

I believe that at that moment, a feeling of pleasure, fulfillment and even satisfaction will fill your heart because of your relaxed greeting.

Remember to say hello first, and greet each other calmly.

Of course, if the other party greets you first, don't be surprised or embarrassed, just smile or greet you back!

Say thank you to taxi drivers and supermarket cashiers
Every time I get out of the taxi, I always say "thank you, master" to the taxi driver.What I have found: Whenever I say this, I feel a friendly and wonderful vibe in the air between me and the driver that keeps me going for a while after I get out of the car Mood.Sometimes, even if the driver overcharged me, or deliberately took me around, I still used to thank him when I got off the bus.The moment I thanked him, the dissatisfaction he brought to me was completely eliminated.

When you walk out of the hotel, the welcome lady standing at the door usually smiles and says "thank you" or "welcome again".Do you often walk past her without saying a word, as if you didn't hear her?
When you took the change from the supermarket cashier, did you sincerely say thank you to her?
Give it a try!Saying thank you to the person who has provided you with service will put you in a good mood too.

When you are angry, don't yell at others casually

Anger is inevitable.

When you are angry, do you look for ways to vent?For example, if you find someone to get mad, who is that unlucky person?

Numerous times of angry experiences tell you: get angry and find out the pump, can you really calm yourself down and feel comfortable?

Taking your anger out on others will not make you more comfortable.

Taking important actions when you're angry often doesn't end well.You may wish to recall, when you were angry in the past, if you quarreled with someone, did you offend them and make the relationship worse?Wouldn't this just be a vicious circle?
Therefore, when you are angry, it is best to calm down first, do not have a strong reaction, and do not vent your anger on others.

A famous entrepreneur once said a "match stick" philosophy.

A match stick is worth less than a dime, but it can destroy a building worth millions of dollars.

What does this matchstick contain?

Uncontrollable emotions, stubborn personality, narrow and ruthless mind.

Learn to listen to what others say.

We are taught from an early age by our teachers to learn to focus and make it a habit.If you can develop the habit of focusing on a small matter, you will not only be more creative, but also improve your ability to communicate with others.

However, when we grow up, we lose this ability.When I grow up, I can't concentrate anymore.Obviously someone is talking to me, but I can't concentrate on listening, my thoughts are always complicated, and I might offend others in the end.

People who cannot pay attention when others are speaking will also be unable to concentrate and make decisions when faced with their own critical moments.Such restless people, once they encounter a critical moment, will probably panic and encounter major setbacks.

Before hanging up the phone, would you say goodbye to the other party so thoughtfully?
Once I was having dinner with a girlfriend, and her boyfriend called her during the dinner.Her boyfriend seemed to have a lot to say, but because I was in front of her, it was inconvenient for her to say too much.Before hanging up the phone, she kindly said to the microphone: "Honey, I'm going to hang up!" The phone was hung up smoothly, which was really a comforting scene.

Many people are serious when they call, but a little careless when they hang up.If you really care and care about the other person, then be sure to be enthusiastic when you hang up.

Do you say the same thing when you finish talking with someone?As long as there are words of consideration for each other, hanging up the phone will not become a burden, but will make each other feel warm.

In fact, it’s not just a phone call, it’s also very important to talk to others about things, and gently remind the other party that you are leaving before the end, do you remember?

Don't forget to thank those who support you.

There is always a kind of person around us, that is, the person who supports you.He may not proclaim your goodness to others loudly, but he will always be behind you for a long time and continue to support and tolerate you.Therefore, when you solve difficulties or the situation improves, you must remember the person who supports you and thank him.

Acknowledgments must be fast!
Thanks must be sincere!

Be specific in your acknowledgments!

For example, send him a handmade card with just one sentence on it: Thank you.
