This week, we will talk about how to use knowledge from the book to apply for personal growth. In almost every industry, accumulated experience is useful for your own line of work as long as you are in a specific situation. A good habit begins with reading a book. Whatever, with a good start there will be better success at the end. And reading to get action rather than reasons.

Today, we will continue to talk about a topic related to reading pleasure, and we are here to discuss a method of using knowledge, specifically, the application of reading books. The importance of using accumulated knowledge and experience in the workplace, and how reading books can help transfer that knowledge.

For instance, if you read a book that involves this neighborhood and industry, is it helpful for other fields and industries? This is our ability to read. We must be able to transfer knowledge, and once a lot of knowledge is written and solidified into a book, the method of transfer already exists. So why do you have to read a little messily? We can’t lose those opportunities for migration. By evaluating oneself, setting clear goals, identifying opponents, and recognizing mentors or coaches, individuals can apply these principles to their own work and achieve steady growth.

It may sound unreliable because we live in a modern society characterized by the division of labor. The characteristic of modern society is that you are separated from the people next door like mountains. For example, if they are both doctors, ophthalmologists, and orthopedic surgeons have very little knowledge overlap. Of course, that’s true. But some books can help us break down the barriers between industries, experiences, and methods.

To give an example, let’s take a look at the training methods of athletes. After reading the introduction to the training methods of athletes, you will understand that the training methods of athletes can guide the career advancement and struggle of an ordinary professional. What do athletes do first thing in the morning? Check their body. Today’s blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse, etc. To know themselves, evaluate themselves.

Conversely, ask yourself as a professional, do you evaluate your status and level every day or every week? Many people may be overwhelmed by the task and rarely do it. This method of athletes is helpful to us.

Furthermore, athletes are very clear about which match point they are preparing for in today’s training. It may be the National Games two weeks later or the World Championships two months later. No matter what, the training of every athlete is to prepare for a certain match point in the future.

Asking us in the workplace, do we know our match point very well? This match point may be a meeting, a report, or a proposal. That’s the match point we’re working on right now. Some people are just confused. So athletes use this method, and of course, we can learn from it.

Also, every athlete knows very well, especially those who rank high in a certain sport, who their opponent is. That opponent may live in another country. But in the global rankings of this sport, there is an exact ranking. Whom am I going to surpass now, and whom am I competing with?

Of course, who is a very professional person competing with? It’s not the office politics in the office but who you want to surpass in your development on this track in the workplace, who is your opponent at the moment, and who is your goal to surpass. Everyone knows that this method can also be borrowed.

Additionally, every athlete has a coach. The level of the coach may not be higher than yours. The coach is the person who organizes the training plan for you and gives you key feedback. Yes, every one of us in the workplace will have our own company, our own industry, or even cross-border. The industry is a big brother. He will give you some frequent feedback and some key pointers, which is to recognize a coach.

Thus, when you look at this list and pull it out, this is the daily routine of athletes. They take it for granted, and this is how they live. But once we transfer it to the workplace, you will immediately understand that if you have strong ambitions and want to rise steadily in the workplace, this is the methodology you can transfer. This is one of the wonders of reading. In almost every industry, accumulated experience is useful for your own line of work and what you are doing as long as you are in a specific situation.
