Listening to the wind in the left ear column-19

The article mainly talks about interest and investment, study and work, technology and value, trend and future.

After reading this article, I have a different understanding of interest, study and work.

As for interest, before reading the article, I always thought that interest is the first factor whether a university chooses a major or a career in society. Without interest, majors and occupations are like chicken ribs.

Now consider it from another angle:

What is interest?

What are you interested in?

How long can you keep this interest?

Some people may never find what they are really interested in. At that time, can you be sure whether that interest is a three-minute craze or whether you are willing to work hard for it all your life? If it is the latter, congratulations. If it is the former, then maybe you need to keep discovering yourself.

"Interest is just the beginning, but what keeps people investing time and energy is positive feedback and a sense of accomplishment. 」

I especially recognize this sentence of the author. Some people think that like is interest, so maybe I have a lot of interests. I like a little of everything. . Liking is a good start, and doing what you like is a happy thing. If you can get positive feedback from it, it will be even more wonderful.

I hope you can find your own interest and stick to it.

I have been struggling with my study and work recently. I am an iOS developer myself. I know both OC and swift, but the depth is not enough. I know a little Java, too. Recently, I have seen some recruitment for iOS development. Many requirements include an understanding of flutter, Android and backend. Suddenly I feel that I know very little, I want to learn Python, and I want to go. Before the company reconstructed the APP, it studied flutter for a while. Finally, it decided to use native implementation for various reasons, and then flutter was put on hold. When you want to learn a language or a technology, you always feel that if you don't use it at work, your interest in learning will drop very quickly, and some technology learning and work will be tied together.

"In essence, you can learn a technology well not only by finding a corresponding job, but by solving practical problems, discussing with people and getting help from experts, you can learn and grow faster and more efficiently. 」

Work is just a scene to solve problems, through which you can learn quickly, but work is not the only scene. The author recommended some open source communities, which are also good scenes.

There are two sections: technology and value, trend and future. My ability is limited and I don't want to say anything. Interested students can take a look at the link at the end of the article.
