Thoughts

今天尝试把Outline写下来，因为每次做周末大总结的时候，又返回去看一遍，花得时间很多，主要是平时没有针对一天的阅读情况做总结，所以只能都推到周末再做，但那样就变成一个苦差事。写一个Outline对文章有一个框架，这样不至于看过了，除了一些感受之外，其他就没什么印象了。

今天给我最多的感触便是P problems are pc opportunites，很多时候自己都是不想解决问题，选择逃避问题，殊不知问题可以是转化成机会，一个可以锻炼自己解决问题，处理各种麻烦事的机会。逃避问题只会堆积更多的问题，只会后患无穷。反过来改变一下心态，把问题转化成机会，就有动力去做事情了。
