### Options
Some time ago, when we were going upstairs, suddenly the staircase light failed, without light, we had to walk in the dark to the entrance of the stairs.
Afterwards, I thought about how busy and hard we are in the workplace, but we are not appreciated by our bosses or not given more opportunities. It is as if we are stuck in a certain level of the workplace and feel like searching for the exit of this level in the dark.
We don’t know what to do or we don’t know where to find the direction, this may be the reason why we are stuck.
And to find the exit, you may have to use external forces, for example, the flashlight function. However, it may be that I did not know that the phone has a built-in flashlight function, I have no way to turn on the flashlight to illuminate my neighborhood and surrounding.
The book “Soft Skills” provides an option to assist with the tool, giving yourself a chance to find the exit and choose up or down.

### Learn the first five steps
When we enter the workplace, there may be advanced seniors who will guide us on how to get started as quickly as possible. We often say that kung fu is outside the door, there are some outside the door kung fu want to learn, do not know how to start, there is no reference basis can be step by step.
The book “Soft Skills” is about workplace advice beyond code, for self-learning growth, this book is famous for the 10-step learning method, I want to share with you my feelings after using the first five methods.
For example, you want to learn English or programming…
##### 1 Understand the big picture
First, you can find books or articles on the market on related topics, whether it is English or other programming, there are platforms that will launch the scope of the test. For example, 100 questions for interviews and the like.
First, find the books related to the topic and look through each one to see what the table of contents says. The table of contents explains the structure of the topic.
Initially, skim through the book to get an idea in your head, then flip through the book as you go, stop and read more if you are interested, and copy the text that you find useful into an electronic document.
Until you can explain to others what the topic is?
##### 2 Define the scope
Keep the books or materials that interest you and put aside the ones that don’t interest you or are difficult to read, and then organize them so that they are the scope of what you want to read again.
There is a scope for exams, and there will be a scope for studying. The difference is that the test is given by the teacher, while self-study is to find your own learning path. What we want is the learning path, and mastering the learning path is defining the scope of learning.
##### 3 Define the goal
Find the corresponding goal to quantify. For example, if you sign up for the English test for beginners, there are many books on the market, so take a book of familiar practice questions and practice every day, 10, 20, 30 times, a large amount of proficiency.
For example, the goal of writing is to publish articles on the platform and 1 article per month, and each article should be about 2000 words, and the deadline comes, then whether or not the work is completed and good or bad will be published.
The goal is to make people feel intuitively, and you can only know how to go if you have a goal.
##### 4 Find resources
When you type keywords on the Internet, ads or information will appear, and these are the resources you can refer to.
Resources can be distinguished between paid and free, it is recommended to initially find paid resources, which are organized by others, with sufficient correctness and continuity. For example, ppt, there are many ppt free skills articles on the Internet can be seen, such as a day of skills, but this is fragmented, is suitable for you to encounter problems, want to solve the current situation when the use of paid courses or resources is to let you learn to, this software can do so, can be used in this way, have the concept.
Sometimes it’s not that we don’t know how to use it, it’s that we don’t know it’s there or that it can be done this way.
##### 5 Create a learning plan
The learning plan is to see how much time you have outside of work. Start with the time you have available, for example, half an hour in the morning, and set a goal of 3 or less, not too many, too many is unrealistic and will cause you guilt.
Less is more, it is recommended to get up in the morning to implement the goal will be better. It is better to get up in the morning to carry out your goals, because it is better to finish the most important things early in the morning, so that you can rest assured for the day.
Generally speaking, if you don’t study in the morning, it’s a little difficult to find time to finish it in the evening, because the time at night is unpredictable, so it’s easy to delay or fail to execute the goal.
Don’t have too many study plans, just set 3 or less things to do, and adjust the goals and content as you go.
A study plan is your time management and planning, scheduling time to study, and there is no way to start off smoothly, it has to be adjusted continuously, maybe this week, or today or next hour, all these may have to be adjusted.
Because you want to write or practice at night before bed, but sometimes you may be too busy at night to do it. The purpose of the study plan should be to allow you to practice or study every day, devoting a fixed amount of time and focus so that you can push forward every day.
