I haven't listened to any of his speeches, bought any of his previous books, and I'm not one of his millions of fans in Weibo. If it weren't for Mr. Li's illness, if it weren't for Mr. Li's writing about his feelings after his illness, I think we would be strangers in two worlds at best. He is not my idol, and I am not his fan.
Opening this book has an indescribable magic that makes you want to read it all at once. During this period, you want to stop and write about your feelings several times, and you are worried that you will misunderstand the author's thoughts because you haven't read the book completely. Finally, you will write down this unforgettable feeling and * * * and read it completely.
I boast that I am a poor man who remembers other people's names. When I was in college, I had a headache because I had to remember the names of more than 100 students. For the protagonists in the famous books I have seen before, if I don't know a little before reading, I will basically read the whole book, and it is still difficult to remember the names of the main characters, not because I have a glance, but because I have a natural immunity to names.
But this book by Teacher Li has given me a new definition of remembering people's names. It's not that I can't remember, but that the author mentioned it too few times. After reading Mr. Li's book, I realized that Mr. Li's wife's name was Fairy. Throughout the book, Mr. Li mentioned his wife everywhere, which made me deeply understand what is the most important thing for a person who has gone through the gate of hell. It is not how much honor he won in the past, nor how much value he created for this society, but his wife, daughter, mother and relatives.
As the saying goes,' when people are dying, their words are very good'. I think some things may only be deeply understood when they are close to death. None of us will be as lucky as Mr. Li, and we will be reborn after life and death. But we are the lucky ones envied by Mr. Li, because we don't need to experience life and death personally. After reading his book, we understand that when death comes, when we are still far from death, our feelings can let us know what we want and what we really pursue in our short life.
The ancestors created money as a medium of equal exchange. If our ancestors knew, what he created would invisibly devour the lives of future generations and make everyone a slave. I think ancestors should reconsider.
Each of us doesn't have to choose between "workaholic" and "idle". Of course, we need to work, and we also need to study, but when we put all our experiences into busy work and study, can we leave some for people around us-our family and friends? Sometimes we can't help but use the banner of' for him', but what we actually do is to satisfy our own selfish desires.
With the development of society, many people leave their homes and go to big cities with more job and study opportunities. There are only a handful of times to reunite with your family every year. Nominally, we strive for success outside to shine, but in fact, we may just satisfy our established ideals and abandon our parents' excuses. Parents want their children's company more than the superficiality and glamour that children bring to them. Even a dull life, as long as the family is together, it is also a kind of happiness. But in today's society, we seldom understand it, or maybe we pretend to be confused.
I am not a pessimist, but I sometimes wonder what I will do today if death comes tomorrow. I have thought about this question for countless times, and I have got a consistent answer for countless times, that is, how should I treat my family, how to treat my lover, and how to say goodbye to my friends.
I have never been caught in such a whirlpool of thinking. How should I hand over my work, how should I handle my case, and what will happen in the next meeting? Don't I love my job? Of course not.
Because it is the guarantee of my food and clothing and the foundation of my life. But when death is imminent, it becomes so insignificant. Therefore, please don't ignore your relatives around you under the pretext of work, because when your life is about to die, they are the best memories of your life.
Busy work and irregular life make many people in today's society in sub-health or unhealthy state. I often tell myself and people around me that if we do something at the expense of health, even if we can get huge benefits from it, it is definitely a failed transaction.
As the saying goes, a thousand dollars can't buy a good figure. Only when you have a healthy body can you enjoy life and accompany your family and friends, otherwise everything will be in vain. There are too many temptations from society and too many things that need us to pay. No matter what we pay, we should not pay for our health. If we do anything, we must ensure that our health will not be affected. Otherwise, even if you build a beautiful wall, it will eventually become a bubble.
Buddhist cloud "Everything in the world is connected by fate", let us cherish all the inherent fate around us, cherish it and maintain it. You will find that this is the real wealth of life after a hundred years, and it is also what we call "brilliant life".
This is a book that you can savor carefully no matter what kind of situation you are in. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it sentiment.
Reflection on life and death (2) It is difficult for a person to go back and reflect on his life unless he is cornered, especially a person like Kai-fu Lee, who has always been excellent and has a good reputation, and is regarded as a young mentor, so it is God's supreme grace to recognize that he is suffering from cancer. He said, "Illness is my mentor."
When a person's ability reaches a certain level, he will be bound by his own ability, and he will have a self-confidence that everything is under control, and the limit of this self-confidence is to forget that he is also an ordinary person. At this time, he will receive a severe reminder from God.
"My body had to warn me with a serious illness, which pushed me to the bottom of my life and made me see my ignorance, fragility and smallness; It also made me understand the profoundness and mystery of life in the universe from the complexity and changefulness of the small universe. " Therefore, Kai-Fu Lee first sent out the feeling that "everyone is equal before cancer", and after awakening from reflection, he further deepened his understanding of "everyone is equal before everything".
Master Xing Yun's reminder that "life is rare, life is too difficult once, it is not easy to change the world, and it is not easy to do it well" made him suddenly realize. "It is better for one or two people to remember than for thousands of people to forget."
Li Kaifu, who always pays attention to efficiency and wants to maximize his influence, deeply reflects on himself. "I may be carried away by too many successful experiences, arrogant and unaware; It may be that I am used to considering efficiency, so I will infer the causal logic of everything, measure many things with result-oriented and quantitative judgments, and then step by step, and finally I can't even see where I am wrong. "
He solemnly reminds everyone who is busy every day, "Don't be a slave to' emergency'. People's inertia is to do the most urgent things first, but often because of this, important things are given up. Most urgent things are actually not important, and many important things are not urgent. Don't spend all your time on things that seem' urgent'. Be sure to leave some time to do things that are really' important'. "
The disease brought Kai-fu Lee the idea of success or death, and made him thoroughly understand that no matter who he is, he has to rely on his own "body" to exist, no matter who he is.
Only then did he understand what was really most important to him, which can be seen from the photos taken with his family and friends in his book. "The people closest to you in the world are your family, your brothers and sisters." His attitude towards his daughter's education has also changed, and he began to encourage children to develop their unique personality and tap their inner treasures.
People with deep desires have shallow secrets, and people with shallow desires have deep secrets. When all one's desires become "alive", it is time for him to realize the secret. "When I no longer insist on what I have to do, the living water in my life will flow like a thunderbolt, and many unexpected fates will unfold one by one." "People should conform to the four seasons of life and believe in the signals given by the body. The operation of the human body is very complicated and precise. A cell is as busy as a new york. Doctors don't know your body better than you do, and develop a good habit of observing yourself. "
From the fate of being a man to patiently living in peace with the body, Kai-fu Lee deeply realized that any man-made importune is a kind of injury after illness, and letting nature take its course is the fundamental. "After his illness, I believe that there is an invisible existence between heaven and earth, perhaps the collective consciousness of mankind, perhaps the so-called' heart of heaven and earth', a universal consciousness! These invisible forces dominate the operation of the world, allowing everything in the world to unfold and advance slowly in a balanced and harmonious rhythm. "
An old frontiersman loses his horse—a blessing in disguise. A person who has experienced life and death will know how to cherish and be grateful. As Cheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, said in mourning for her late husband, "I learned to be grateful. I really appreciate what I used to be used to-such as life. " So is Kai-fu Lee.
Passing death by, let him put down all the burden of optimism and humor, and re-examine the precious friendship that has been around him, with parents, wives, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues, and even with people who are destined to be on the Internet, even with sunshine, air and nature. Finally, he sent his best wishes to readers: follow your heart, be grateful for everything and live a happy life.
From the beginning of his struggle against death, Kai-fu Lee presented his insights from his illness and his thoughts on "the most valuable life" in his book. He promised to stay healthy and cherish getting along with his family and friends. The hero who was pushed to the glittering podium as a young mentor finally put down his inherent persistence and saw the essence of all prosperity. "I just found out that the biggest mistake in my life is to give up everything completely.
After enduring the test of illness and death, he wept and repented before his father's spirit: "I am quite disappointed in myself." When he was a child, he said the same thing to his father because of his mistakes. Now, he regrets that he didn't understand his father earlier and deeper, but his father gently responded to his voice: "I hope you won't let yourself down again."
The whole book "Born to Die" is not so much an autobiography as a confession from the heart, from which everyone can read their deep feelings. Of course, from the book, we can also see that Kai-fu Lee himself changed from panic to detachment in the face of death, a gesture of going to the hinterland and then sitting and watching the clouds fly.
When a person is in a desperate situation and can't save himself, he will pray to the gods and all external forces with unlimited ability. In fact, all the causes and effects are on himself. I remember seeing a couplet in an ancient temple in my hometown: If you don't turn around to help you, if you can turn around, you don't need my pity, so I can give it to teacher Kaifu, wish him health and happiness, and give it to all of us who are wandering in the red dust.
What should I do if I get sick? In addition to seeking medical advice, there is also a good prescription, that is, reading. Often talking with wise men and wise men, the soul will get a lot of support and comfort. Over the years, I have been in poor health, and I was inspired by Shi Tiesheng, vice chairman of Beijing Writers Association, "Sick and Broken Pen", "Smile of Life" and "Philosophical Record of Life" by Zhou. In June this year, I intermittently read the excerpts of Li Kaifu's Death Credit in Xinmin Evening News, which prompted me to make a major choice. Later I asked my daughter to buy one online. Read and think carefully from beginning to end, and read some chapters several times.
Kai-Fu Lee is a native of Taiwan Province Province and a mentor to thousands of famous young entrepreneurs. He has held important positions in many companies such as Apple, SGI, Microsoft and Google. Later, he founded innovation works in Beijing and served as the chairman and CEO. September 20 13 was diagnosed as lymphoma with 26 tumors in the stomach. His life suddenly fell from the peak of aura to the brink of death. Fear, anger, depression and despair surrounded him.
But soon, he calmed down, actively sought medical advice, collected information by himself, and studied his illness by himself. Finally found an exciting ray of light in a large number of medical records. Since then, the negative emotions caused by cancer have begun to fade. He actively cooperated with doctors, accepted all painful treatments, and believed in his rebirth in despair. 17 months later, 26 tumors disappeared. After making up the "death credit", he wrote this book "Live to Death" with his personal feelings.
I have been ill for half my life. I have been suffering from hepatitis B for nearly 30 years and liver cirrhosis for more than 20 years. From 2065438 to April 2005, magnetic resonance imaging showed that multiple nodules of the liver were enhanced and more developed than before. I understand very well that if there is "enhancement", it will not be far from tumor formation. What should I do, continue conservative treatment or choose a new way? To this end, I went to a number of tertiary hospitals to consult famous experts.
They gave various schemes such as conservative treatment and liver transplantation, and analyzed their advantages and disadvantages for me to choose. It was a struggle. Transplantation is a double-edged sword. A few years ago, the shadow of the failed transplant of this public figure still lingered. Most patients have to have a transplant at the end of their lives. I'm in good shape now. Is it worth the last shot?
The two chapters "Living for Death" and "Studying my own diseases" have a great influence on me. I looked up a lot of information and the real feelings of many people who have experienced it on related websites. Full of positive energy has gradually accumulated in body and mind. I've never gambled in Macau or Las Vegas, but this time, I'm determined to bet my life on tomorrow. At the end of June and the beginning of July, the liver transplantation was officially registered in Zhongshan Hospital, and the deposit was paid as promised.
I didn't expect to receive a phone call from the doctor the morning after the official registration, saying that I had the information of liver source, so I was prepared. I'll be skeptical. On the third day, nothing happened and I didn't take it seriously. It can't be so soon. At four o'clock in the afternoon on the fourth day, I was still outside gathering with my friends. The doctor called me to get to the hospital in an hour to prepare for the operation.
Thankfully, the operation went well, but this is only the first step in the success of liver transplantation. In order to have a quality future for N years, I now strictly follow the doctor's advice, pay close attention to the various reactions of "new friends" after they check in, and safely spend the high incidence of rejection and infection.
"Born to die" said: In the face of a serious illness, "If you lose the tenacious will to face bravely and fight first, then' death' will soon become a reality. If they don't succeed after trying, they will say at least I tried. If you don't work hard, you will lose the chance of success forever.
