Blogger Review
    Think about the growth of the road, about success, inspirational books, more or less also read some. Once there was a book, motivate yourself for a long time, is the United States of America writer Roman · W · peel with "attitude is everything". I learned how to establish a correct attitude toward life from, how strong and optimistic in the face of fate. At that time, the deepest impression of the word is "not a second before you". Yes, people would change every day, therefore, how to grasp the change, it is a very important knowledge. However, only is the attitude of the establishment, is not enough; we need to practice law, unfortunately, the book does not tell me.
    Exposure to the "fifth disciplines", I can not help but exclaim to the author's wisdom and rigorous way of thinking. Compared to other popular self-help books, this book attracted me the most part, especially in the ninth chapter: beyond the self - >. Beginning with the analysis of learning organization, to discuss the real "self-transcendence", not only new angle, and, importantly, personal self-improvement put analysis on organization management, to each of us, has the practical significance of great. We are the heart of every person have the beautiful dream and hope, and the potential for self-confidence and self ability; however, due to learning, work and life experience is different, these beautiful inner, gradually annihilation to have to face the daily routines and real seems irresistible, not about the.
   When the people therefore plunged into depression and loss of mood, many people will choose to use emotional response measures to deal with, such as through the establishment of strong, progressive attitude towards life and encourage yourself etc.. Undeniable, this approach is correct; however, this only, but not necessarily effective, as mentioned in the article, "self-transcendence meaning lies in creating, rather than react point of view, to face their own lives and life." Because, we also need to take more action, behavior choice of direction more practical, in order to solve the problem.
   We want to exploit those beautiful within our nature, we need to constantly self-transcendence. Therefore, "the fifth discipline", the "self" as a life practice, a continuous learning process, can be said to be the truest. Through reading < ninth chapter: beyond the self - >, I realized, practicing and learning, as a process, need to be attached to a detailed and systematic planning, and then rely on perseverance continuously to the selection of a good direction.
