original | An angry strawberry
once a week, as scheduled. Yesterday, I participated in the intensive reading meeting of "Beginner Heart". At the beginning of
, Big J "accused" my last article, "2 Bao Moms take their children around the world, it's time not to live under the label defined by others", which exposed her age.
intensive reading will begin in such a joyous sound. End the busy work of the working day, let go of tiredness and listen to books happily on weekends.
Many friends asked if they should read the book first, but they don’t need it. Just take your heart with you.
is here, not only reading, but also reading people.
01
The book "Initial Heart" is the struggle story of Taiwan's first world-class celebrity chef Jiang Zhencheng.
As an Asian, it is hard to imagine that it can occupy a place in the field of Western cuisine.
You might say that if you have a background, or a rich second generation, you have such a leisurely feeling.
No, he is an ordinary person like you and me, without a distinguished background, and without a proud education. has gone so far with the original intention of "doing better cooking".
When he was young, when he aspired to become a chef, he started to run. The classmates were busy playing games. He went to work in a French restaurant in a well-known hotel alone, using one day as two days and studying diligently.
At 20 years old, when many of his peers were crowded on the "college entrance examination" single-plank bridge, he has become the youngest French restaurant chef in Taiwan's dining history. The
story seems to end here-he can enjoy the honor without any worries.
However, it did not. Three years later, he flew to France resolutely, and became a teacher with a 3-Michelin star chef. No salary at the beginning. This is something that shocked me.
remove the glory, starting from scratch, not everyone dares to let go of the halo. The most important thing about
is that he can't speak French at the beginning, which is enough to be the biggest obstacle before Hengquan's career.
For the sake of his dreams, he does not regard obstacles as difficulties, but steps on them to help himself stand higher and higher.
As for the details of "talking to potatoes, cleaning the kitchen, sleeping in the small warehouse...", he will not disturb his piety to his dreams. We can't see how much sweat has been devoted to
.
dare to smash the ceiling that hinders his growth and keep setting higher game goals.
But he is so "strict" to himself, willing to sit on a cold bench and insist on persisting.
is what he said: " when you feel strict with yourself, you underestimate your ability ".
is unwilling to make yourself "too comfortable", and people around you will probably say: "You don't enjoy it in a good state, go toss, are you crazy?" Speaking of his friend used to work at CCTV and wanted to quit a few years later. The aunt who went through the procedures repeatedly asked: "Are you sure? How many people can't get in without breaking their heads, you have to leave?" The beauty of life lies in constant breakthroughs and constant challenges to the limits of their abilities.
The owner of this venue is also the same type of person. Although they are born in the 90s, there are 3 cafes in our small town!
He is not a rich second-generation, but he started from scratch when he was in college, opened one after another, and lived 48 hours a day. I also like extreme sports such as skydiving and bungee jumping. In short, it is all kinds of "toss".
Don't let yourself be too comfortable, because you believe you can do better!

You may be curious, what makes Jiang Zhencheng obsessed with cooking? The answer to
is his mother.
Since childhood, his mother carefully prepared lunch boxes for him, and "cooking" became a synonym for "happiness" in his mind. was deeply influenced by her mother, and the seed of "cooking" began to sprout.
parent to childThe sub-influence is subtle. You don't need to talk to your child about the truth every day, just show him first. Look in your eyes, remember it in your heart, and you will naturally imitate you. What kind of child
hopes to cultivate, first of all start from ourselves.
Many parents will choose to stay in an old-age job by themselves, and then give their childhood dreams to their children, and tell them that you should work hard and do this, okay!
doesn't have the effect of being a leader at all.
hopes that children will live a more exciting life, a life different from others. First of all, parents must have requirements of themselves, put interesting labels on their lives, and dare to embrace the uncertainty of the future. There are good examples at the
event. Dou Ma came with her 7-year-old son.
You think children of this age can run, jump, and be very noisy. But he spends most of the time sitting on the tatami in the back, reading, drinking some water when he is thirsty, and then continuing to read.
This is simply a scene in my dream. When my son can be like him, I can bring it out to participate in various activities.
His mother listened to the sharing in the front, and occasionally he heard curious content, and would go to his mother to sit down and listen to
. I believe that this quiet and beautiful man was nurtured by Dou's mother's reading habits. Parents do well before children can do it. The team is also mentioned in the book
03
. In his interpretation, Big J uses the wolf and the tiger as a metaphor.
Wolves are a group of animals that can fight together and attack cooperatively, very fast.
Tiger-type people are powerful and can fight alone.
But if you are willing to be a tiger and encounter difficulties, you can only find a way by yourself. Where can a partner help you? Compared with
, wolves are more powerful. But we often live as a lonely tiger.
is either disdain to fight with other people in a team, thinking that one person can become a team.
either didn't find the same frequency, like the last baiji on the earth, wailing alone in the vast Yangtze River. Before
, I initiated a two-year Happiness Growth Salon offline pure public welfare sharing meeting. I always felt that there was no way to give the team anything in return, so I didn't dare to find someone to do it together. I was willing to organize it alone and struggle alone. It's silly to think about it.
's previous wooden barrel principle always emphasizes making up for the "shortcomings" of this wooden barrel.
and the new wooden barrel principle is now popular. It emphasizes that the "long board" of different wooden barrels of is spliced and combined with advantages to achieve a win-win situation.
Now, starting from reading clubs, we will start dreaming, and gradually more and more small partners will join, and there will be more long-board combinations. find friends who share the same views in a small city and do things you like together. When thought of this, the corners of his mouth rose.
In the intensive reading meeting, just a 30-minute self-introduction session is enough to show you a different version of life.
There are boys who used to be police officers and later switched to codewords, there are fitness experts who lost 10 pounds a month, and mothers who are dedicated to inheriting Chaoshan food...
Looking forward to meeting more unwillingnesses in the small town of Shantou Mediocre you, open up a bigger world together~
What kind of interesting books and interesting people will you meet next week?
