[Reading] A story about a major loss
This is not a story I am particularly proud of, but I am writing this article as a reminder to myself and as a warning so that others do not end up like me.
About three years ago, I bought two books.
I obtained these books for the following reason.
"No one would read such an expensive book."
Right? It's an amazing price, isn't it? (To the author: "I am terribly sorry.")
At the time, I was in a phase where I was desperate for self-improvement, feeling like I had to acquire new skills or differentiate myself from others.
I thought that books no one else would buy might contain information that no one else knows.
When I found them on Amazon, that's what I thought, so I clicked 'buy' without even checking the contents.
Then, I was surprised by the large, thick books that arrived.
Overwhelmed by this, my desire to read them was dampened.
After a while, those books were moved to a cardboard box for books that didn't fit on my bookshelf.
I am currently tidying up and rearranging my room little by little, and that's when this cardboard box turned up.
It was a reunion after three years.
Upon this reunion, I thought the following:
"People who buy books and don't read them are losing more than people who don't buy books and don't read them."
It's obvious. Because I just threw my money away.
Perhaps it's because I'm now in a position with no income, but I feel like I've lost a significant amount, and I've suddenly become quite troubled.
Because of this experience, I am now reading one of these two books.
I am currently reading through 'Team V-Shaped Management'.
I have to get back at least some of the money I paid.
I wrote an article like this a little while ago.
If I win the 10,000 yen book selection, I want to make sure it doesn't end up being a waste of money.
The end.
