I finished watching this documentary in one night when I was very confused about my personal growth, it should be four and a half stars.
It has answered my unspeakable confusion from some angles. Even if these confusions and answers are still not formed, I will continue to look for them patiently.
1. Keep reading, keep thinking
The existence of "think week" and the 14 weekly book bags maintain their sensitivity in breadth and depth; the reading speed of 150 pages per hour and the storage probability of 90% are indeed unattainable for ordinary people, but It doesn't mean that you have a reason not to work hard in this direction.
There is nothing to say about this. We all know the benefits and magic of reading. Those great thoughts and words jump, talk, and collide. What you can absorb is yours. After writing the above paragraph, I started to want to read books like crazy.
Of course, thinking and reading are the cornerstones, and practice is the key to the magic. This is what Bill Gates also said in his book: Scientists have published hundreds of papers in the past showing the feasibility of nuclear energy, we are different, we do it.
2. Rational, use data to make strong arguments
The leaders of computer empires may need to be more rational than computers to represent this computer age. When you think in machine language, the soul behind the computer is you. You have to control the computer with reason in order to convince it to use your logic to execute your commands. (btw that Microsoft game should be Age of Empires)
Of course, Melinda also supplemented her strengths in the foundation—when Bill spoke with data, she would use a human perspective to supplement and upgrade the experience. It's just that I prefer data-driven decision-making at the bottom. If the creator has only rationality or sensibility, he is not enough to create works that satisfy him. But in the place of creation, strong rationality makes things more controllable. Of course, in the operation after creation, the ratio of sensibility and humanity will increase, and you will be late but not absent (?)
The director of such a rational person also designed a warm moment. What moved me the most was the conversation between him and Melinda when Melinda was angry: "Wherever we go, let's go together."
And I really believe he has a soft side, you can feel that he really loves Melinda - when at the end the director asked him the one thing he would most like to do, when he said "thank you Melinda", the throat trembling.
3. Concentration and hard work are not the same
I always think about hard work and diligence, but I always have inertia. The two are like a rider and an elephant, entangled with each other. So I always fall into regret. One thing I understand after watching the film is that those people who are "working hard" in our eyes are diligent in the concept of ordinary people, but in their own context, they are focused, enjoying, and immersed, and they don't need it at all. He struggled to pull his own elephant.
Similar in effect, isn't it just find my obsession?
In the antitrust law segment, the dialogue between the director and Bill Gates reminded me of Atlas Shrugged.
- "What do you think was the reason for losing the case, were you too naive or wait for other reasons"
- "It's so naive."
Reminds me of "Who is John Galt?"
I bet Bill Gates loved this book too. A is A, Microsoft is Microsoft.
Toilets, polio, nuclear power, and I can't wait to escape in the canyon he built—provided I have admission into that world.
Hope the creator lives a little longer, even if he skips breakfast and loves Coke.
My thoughts after reading it: 1. I want to come and listen to Coke; 2. It reignites my desire to buy paper books; 3. The library at Bill Gates' house is what my study at home in my dream should look like. I can have no living room, but I must have a study room in the future.
