March 24 Land Your Dream Job: Ditch School and Get a Library CardI‘d like to share this article with all those who are involved o whom are likely to be involved.
Read it and it does work.
What if you could do what you love for a living and make a great income at it? On top of that, what if you didn’t have to go to school, spend hundreds of hours in a classroom and end up with a mountain of debt when you finally earn your degree? Sounds nice, doesn’t it?
It’s true that the average college graduate earns more than someone without a bachelor’s degree. However, a good chunk of the biggest innovators and multimillionaires in the world were either high school or college drop outs. (See: Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Johnny Depp, Bill Gates and Quinten Tarantino.)
So how did they do it? Is it really possible to make as good of a living being self-taught, as someone with an expensive degree? Each path has their unique benefits and drawbacks, and I’m not trying to convince you one way or another. I’m just pointing out that the playing field has changed a lot in the past decade, and it’s more possible than ever to trail blaze your own path. The biggest point is to determine what works best for you.
A lot of people don’t know this, but I never graduated from high school. At the beginning of my sophomore year I just stopped having an interest in going to class. The work was too easy for me and I felt I was being forced to learn about things that I had no interest in. I felt like I had no participation in my own education. So I stopped going.
A few years later I ended up attending a community college. I never finished that either, but I did like it a lot better than high school. I didn’t choose a set major; I just took whatever classes interested me. I had no desire to actually obtain a degree, I only wanted to learn about the things that interested me.
Honestly, I think taking classes that you find interesting should be a greater focus in college, because too much emphasis is being placed on partying and fulfilling course requirements. College is your chance to study the things you care about. Who cares if they don’t apply to your major? I didn’t.
In case you’re wondering what kind of options are out there, here are a few career opportunities that don’t require a college degree:
Pro-blogger
Author Life coach Actor Musician Software developer Sales Entrepreneur Chef Social media consultant Public speaker DJ Professional photographer The possibilities are only limited to your imagination. Most of the skills needed for these pursuits can be learned with a simple library card and self teaching. You can obviously study most of these career paths in a formal setting as well, but it’s not necessarily required. It’s my opinion that over the course of the next decade, we’ll see a lot more people on the scene of the self starting career path. The amount of free information and self educations resources is exploding. Places like Wikipedia and Personal MBA are changing the playing field. Not only that, but it’s becoming easier to establish yourself as an expert and build your network than ever before. Things like blogging and online content publishing platforms can allow you to demonstrate your expertise without decades of climbing your way up the corporate ladder. Social networks like Twitter and LinkedIn can allow you to cut out the middle man and build direct, mutually beneficial relationships with the people you need to know.
Despite how romantic this all sounds, this path isn’t always bed of roses. There are some qualities you need in order to be a self-made renegade:
Be a self starter. This means that you have to be self motivated to learn and immerse yourself in the knowledge of your field.
You have to have passion. Your source for motivation will come from your passion. If you’re not passionate about what you’re doing, it will be hard to keep going. Self-reliance. Since there’s no course to follow, you’ll have to pave your own way. You need a certain amount of creativity and self-discipline to remain persistent. It helps to have a tribe. It will be much easier to stay true to your goals when you have support from a group of like-minded people or from a mentor. I’m not claiming that the traditional path doesn’t have any value. There are benefits and disadvantages to each side. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a college graduate vs. the self educated person. College degree pros:
Curriculum is laid out before you. You don’t have to do much work researching what you need to learn about, you simply follow the course structure.
Network is built for you. If you do things right in college, you can likely come out with an already strong network of business / professional contacts. Credibility. A reputable degree proves you’ve thoroughly studied your profession. College degree cons: Curriculum can be too rigid. If you’re learning the same things everyone else is learning in your profession, how do you differentiate yourself?
To put it bluntly, college is expensive. You are forced to learn things you don’t really care about. Course requirements for a degree often require that you to take classes with hardly any relevance to your major. Self educated pros: No strict curriculum allows you to be more flexible in building a knowledge base. If you’re highly motivated, you’re likely to pick out things that a traditionally educated person would miss.
Has the possibility to take less time. If you’re smart, you can establish yourself in a profession in much less time than by first getting a degree. You’re more in control of how long it will take to become established. Less expensive. A library card and access to Wikipedia are free. Self education cons: Not easy if you’re not disciplined.
You have to build your own network. Hanging out at library doesn’t give you much opportunity to network with others in your field. You have to establish credibility. If you don’t have a degree to back you up, you’ll have to demonstrate your competence through past successes. This is kind of irrelevant anyway, because college degree or not, a client or company will want to see not just what you’ve studied or your grades, but what you’ve actually accomplished. Some fields require a degree. There are some fields where being self-educated isn’t enough to practice your profession legally. See: doctor, lawyer, etc. This is, however, a small fraction of the career spectrum. So if you’re thinking about the DIY path, here are some good resources to get you started: Google Scholar - Easily searched peer-reviewed papers, theses, books and articles on your topic of interest.
Wikipedia - Information and background on nearly every subject. Personal MBA - Follows the philosophy that you can teach yourself everything you need to know about running a successful business. MIT OpenCourseWare Finance Your Freedom - A great blog on creating your own career path and ditching the mainstream by Clay Collins. Career Renegade - An awesome book by Jonathan Fields on unconventional career paths and doing what you love for a living. It also has a solid chapter on self teaching resources. Closing thoughts If you’re looking to become a chemist, anthropologist, a doctor or a lawyer, the self-educated path is probably not the best choice for you. If you’re looking for a career in technology, social media, writing or starting your own business, self teaching is probably your best bet. It all depends on what you want out of life. You can obviously have a hybrid of both, too.
In the end, what really matters is real world experience, something no library, classroom or teacher can offer.
November 17 自尊在這個世界，if you are not somebody then you are nobody.
世尊 一手指天，一手指地，
說道： 「天上天下，唯我獨尊； 三界皆苦，吾當 安 之。」 在當我還沒有透徹的領悟到上面這些話的道理時，至少我開始學會如何做自己。
找到一篇寫關於自尊的文字，正適合現在的我和我周圍的同齡人，
其中幾段關於如何建立自尊，啓發啊啓發
To live consciouly is to be present to what we are doing;to seek to understand whatever bears on our interests,values,and goals;to be aware both of the world external to our self and also of the world within.
To be self-accepting is to accept,without denial or rejection, the reality of our thoughts,emotions,and actions;to be respection and compassionate toward ourselves even when we do not admire or enjoy some of our feelings or decisions;to refuse to be in an adversarial or rejecting relationship with ourselves.
To be self-responsible is to recognize that we are the author of our choices and actions;that we must be the ultimate source of our own fulfillment;that no one is coming to make our life right for us or make us happy or give us self-esteem.
To be self-assertive is to honor our wants and needs and look for their appropriate forms of expression in reality;to be willing to be who we are and allow others to see it ; to stand up for our convictions,values and feelings.
To live purposefully is to take responsibility for identifying our goals;to perform the actions that will allow us to achieve them;and to keep ourselves on track and moving toward their fulfillment.
To live with integrity is to have principles of behavior to which we remain loyal in action;to keep our promises and honor our commitments;to"walk our talk",as the Native American saying goes.
對不住大家我沒能翻譯成中文，英文的其實也很好看的。
WHAT'S MORE （useful tips)
Self-esteem is the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness.
"The basic challenges of life"
include such fundamentals as being able to earn a living and take independent care of ourselves in the world;
being competent in human relationships;
and having the resilience that allows us to bounce back from adversity and persevere in our aspirations.
We tend to be more influenced by the desire to avoid pian than to experience joy;
negatives have more power over us than positives.
For women and men alike ,
if we have a realistic confidence in our mind and our worth,
if we feel secure within ourselves ,we tend to respond appropriately to challenges and opportunities.
Self-esteem empowers ,energized,motivates.
It inspires us to achieve and allows us to tale pleasure and pride in our achievements.
High self-esteem seeks the challenge and stimulation of worthwhile and demanding goals.
Low self-esteem seeks the safety of the familiar and undemanding.
Confining yourself to the familiar and undemanding serves to weaken self-esteem.
The higher our self-esteem,the more open,honest ,
and appropriate our communications are likely to be,
because we believe our thoughts have value and therefore we welcome rather than fear clarity.
The lower our self-esteem,the more muddy ,evasive,
and inappropriate our coomunications are likely to be,
because of uncertainty about our own thoughts and feelings and anxiety about the listener's response.
The higher our self-esteem,the more disposed we are to form nourishing rather than toxic relationships,because like is drawn to like,health attracted to health.
The first love affair we must consummate successfully in this world is with ourselves;only then are we ready for a relationship.
Only then will we be fully able to love and only then will we be able to let love in-to accept that another person loves us.
Without that confidence,another person's love will never be quite real or convincing to us;and in our anxiety we may find ways to undermine it.
很有指導意義。借鑒借鑒。
October 13 recording of the days (10/02)Listening the voice from the deepest part of the heart,you can still find the way even if losing in the raining day . The one will comfort you and give you power is yourself indeed .Also thanks to the LOVE -a deep love maybe you will never have a chance to give to whom is deserved. All we need is love and we are learning to accept the world as well as accepting the real part of ourselves which sometimes is full of confusion. We don't need to escape from loneliness for it's really a good moment to know ourselves well o hating the sorrow because it's also belong to our life and making it completely. For love and protection the god doesn't give us all that we desired so that lets the people still have the desire of exploring the essential of this world and make the dream which we human being will keep all a long. Living to the fullest and living with love and grace so that we can be saved.
July 12 为什么那么痛看完“剪刀手爱德华”，他看着眼前自己最爱的人缺没有办法拥抱她，无助的眼神。。。我让自己最近不要再去看触动神经的电影，但是看到爱德华望着爱人的那一幕，还是让我联想到了自己。。。我们从来都没有把 “爱” 这个字说出来，一直只是互相说：我关心你，我要你好好的....两个几乎可以相爱的人，但是没有办法在一起....
一年前他的那句话让我想哭，如果我们在一起，我们该怎么做？如果我们生活在同一个国家，说同一种语言，那样我们就可以是最好的朋友，我们去山上散步，去看黄昏，他在千里以外告诉我这些。可是， 我们没有其他情侣那么幸运，距离，这是一个我们无法忽视的问题 我们都有不确定，都会害怕。 他也许自己也不在意他那句“同一个地方同一个语言”竟可以让我做英语老师的妈妈都很不理解用半年的时间讲出另一个语言（她有点感慨到中学英语教学的问题） 而对我说这个仅仅是因为我会把我能够办到的事情做到。 有时我真的不知道他怎么想，当他说 你或许忘了我会好一点时心很痛的你知道吗？ 难道只有这样的方法才能让我不伤到自己吗 ，我开始迷惑我做事情的意义
心的距离有时就是一张纸的厚度，可是为什么经常不愿去逾越？ 我们在害怕什么 July 11 L'isolaC'e' una isola ,vive sul mare,a mille miglia da qualsiasi abitazione umana
Non e' cosi' sola...Perche' c'e' un'altra isola, con tante distanza lontana
Non saperanno bene che cosa dirsi. Non saperanno bene come toccarsi,come raggiungersi.
Il paese delle lacrime e' cosi' misterioso.
E triste dimenticarsi,com'e' triste dimenticare un amico
Tre le isola c'e' sempre acqua,pensarsi sorridere e ridere....
Quando non hanno paura , l'acqua non c'e'...
