軟技能 - 代碼之外的生存指南
The Software Developer’s Life Manual

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

– Earl Nightingale

不是你想像的書 …

逛書局時看到這本書時,以為是在講關於程式的書。雖然內容跟我想得不太一樣,但我看完幾頁之後,完全被它的內容吸引。其實不只是程式人,這裡面教的東西可以適用於任何領域。裡面各個領域獨立,可以自由挑選自己喜歡的看,我覺得很棒。

Not the kind of book you think …

When I looked around in the bookstore, I thought this was the book that talked about programming. I was wrong. Although this is not kind of book I thought, I was still appealed to the its content after I read few pages. I think that every skill taught in the book is suitable for every area, not only programmer. In the book, every section is independent, so you can pick any section you like without reading all of them.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it.

– Earl Nightingale

關於職業 …

人們常常覺得是在為別人上班,沒有動力上班。但是換個角度想,你在建立你的職業,但是很多人沒有意識到這點。你想成為什麼樣的工作者?上班族、自由業,還是創業家。想好未來的路,你會變得不一樣。例如:假設你想要當自由業,這代表你要自己找客戶,那麼你現在的公司很有可能成為你第一個客戶,如果你表現得很好。或者你該經營博客,這樣可以展現你的價值以及拓展客源。如果你想當上班族,你需要考慮你消極的態度會不會被資遣。

About career …

People usually think that they are working for others, so they don’t have motivations to work. But think in different ways, you are creating you career. A lot of people don’t realize that. What do you want to do? Work nine to five, freelancer or entrepreneur? Think about it and you will be a little different. For example, if you want to be a freelancer, it means you need to find your customers. It also means if you have good performance, this company may be your first customer. Or you should create and manage your blog to demonstrate your value and expand source markets. If you want to be a nine to five, you should consider whether you would be fire because of passive attitude.

自我營銷 …

該怎麼推薦自己呢?首先,你應該要找到你的"特點"。你擅長什麼,有什麼可以代表你?例如:只要想到寫程式,我就會想到 Uncle Bob. 在自己身上找關鍵字,這樣可以讓你從許多人中脫穎而出。

Promote yourself …

How should you promote yourself? First of all, you should find “keyword" on you. What are you good at? Does something represent you? For example, if mention about coding, I will think of Uncle Bob. Find a “keyword" to promote yourself, therefor you can stand out from the crowd.

專注眼前 …

想要提高自己的生產力,就必須要專注眼前的目標。這本書有介紹如何提高生產力,包括最著名的–番茄工作法。但我的作法是–每次專注時間不超過一小時。跟書中介紹的有點像,但不是完全一樣,所以我特別強調是我的作法。另一個值得強調的是–時間管理。這個部分可以獨立出一篇文章了,所以我不打算細說。提高專注力跟時間管理 = 高生產力。

Focus …

If you want to improve your productivity, you have to focus on the current goal. This book mentions about how to improve the productivity, including the most famous- “Pomodoro Technique". My way is to focus on one thing, but each duration is less than an hour. It’s kind of the way that introduce in the book, but it’s not exactly the same. An other important concept is time-management. I am not going to talk about too many details since this concept is big enough to be an article. High productivity = high concentration + time-management.

There needs a long apprenticeship to understand the mystery of the world’s trade.

學習這件事 …

有效率的學習應該是有步驟跟方法的。先了解你想要學習的領域,尋找你最想學習的範圍,訂定短期目標,找到所有可以使用的資源,建立計畫,最後才是開始學習。前面的動作,只是為了讓最後能認真學習,不用擔心其他的事情。自己學習新事物,有時候很孤單,可以找尋同伴,互相學習。

Things about learning …

There are methods and ways for learning efficiently. First of all, knowing which area you are interested in, search the field that you want to involve. Set your short-term target, then find every source and make a plan. The final step is starting to learn. All previous steps are just making the last step more easier. Sometimes, if you feel lonely when you learn, you can find some partners.

健康才是最重要的財富 …

健康才是一個人最重要的財富。不要輕易的花掉你的資本。起來運動吧。我每次專注完後,都會運動個十分鐘。以前上班的時候,就利用去上廁所運動,在裡面偷偷做伸展。良好的身體有助於思考和學習。運動吧!

First wealth is health …

For person, the first wealth is health. Don’t spend it easily. Get up and exercise. Every break, I will exercise ten minutes. When I worked, I went to restroom and stretched my body in there. I know it sounds stupid. But good health is good for thinking and learning. So get up and exercise!

精神 …

擁有正確的心態很重要。失敗也很重要,如何擁抱失敗,是每個人要面對的事情。心靈也會影響健康,所以要保持正向思考。

Spirit …

It’s important to have the correct mentality. Failures are important, too. How to embrace failures is the challenge that everyone faces. Spirit impacts health, so keep positive.

其實這本書也有講理財的事情,但是因為我還沒有深入看這部分,所以我沒有任何的心得。很多文章我都有提到學習,甚至我首頁的上方,也有學習的字眼。是因為我覺得學習很重要,學習專業,學習珍惜,學習微笑,學習面對一切挑戰。

This book also talks about money management, but I don’t involve into this area yet. So I didn’t mention it in this article. I mentioned about learning in several articles, even show this word in the top of my home page. It’s because learning is really important for me. Learning profession, learning cherishing, learning smiling, learning facing every challenges.
