感悟

也是看得有点激动的一章，不是因为无极限，而是强烈地觉得人生是可以很丰富多彩的。上学，毕业，工作，退休，好像日复一日人生就过去了，但是其实还有好多可以做的事情啊，没有什么是不可以、不能、没办法做的，感兴趣的东西就去学，只有想不到，没有做不到，人生永远不会无聊。到达不了顶峰，是给自己设了限；觉得人生无趣，是自己太无趣。突然就觉得世界都变得可爱了。

日子很忙也没关系，一天抽一个小时去做自己想做的事，一点点进步，每天的小确幸就是如此了吧。这个月要准备执医考试，很忙，但是每天还是抽一两个小时读书做笔记，终于读完了人生第一本原版书，以前读一章就放下，永远待在舒适区里，加入共读群是我这个月做的英语学习的刻意练习，万事开头难，我已经打开新世界的大门了。
