For a long time before, a classmate always wanted to teach himself the later stage of film and television. So I bought many tutorials and several books from the Internet. I go into the study after work every day, and I plan to gain something in this respect later.

At first, I learned very well. I often bask in my own works in my circle of friends, and I have also been well received by many friends. It just didn't last long. Slowly, he began to lose the motivation to study.

On the one hand, I am too busy to study; On the other hand, he feels that learning this seems to be of little use to his present job. He just wants to learn because of a temporary interest, and he doesn't know how much to learn. The praise in the circle of friends is more about his efforts than how good the real work is.

There is no external feedback, it is not very useful at work, and the enthusiasm is gradually fading. Soon, this skill that I vowed to learn well ran aground.

He gave up easily and didn't feel guilty about giving up halfway. You know, if we don't do well in our studies, some people can reflect for a week and then consolidate and improve through hard work.

Why do we give up so comfortably? Why is it so difficult to learn something that can be easily done on campus after graduating from college?

People will say that you can't develop your skills because of improper methods. Indeed, it must be admitted that improper use of methods is also one of the important reasons, but it seems that there are other reasons that make it difficult for us to study a hobby and skill wholeheartedly and enthusiastically as before.

It is often heard that it is never too late as long as you are willing and work hard, or that if you know where you want to go, the whole world will open the way for you.

We have also been touched by this story many times:

Old Luo Yonghao didn't start learning English until he was 28. You gave up just a few years after graduating from college?

Deshun Wang, a famous figure artist, started to exercise at the age of 50, and walked onto the runway at the age of 79. Isn't it a shame to see his figure?

Chu Shi Jian started growing oranges with his wife at the age of 74, and he is still struggling in his 80s. Young man, what's your excuse for not working hard?

Every time we see this, we are always filled with emotion, and feel that no matter what age, as long as we are willing, life is infinite. But the reality doesn't seem to be what we see from books and online.

After working for several years, many people are almost speechless when asked what their interests are in their spare time, let alone what skills they are good at.

As soon as some people have an idea and want to do something, they immediately send a circle of friends to tell the world: I have decided to lose 20 pounds and start to overcome English difficulties next month; I want to finish studying at least 20 post-film books this year ... It seems that the goal is about to be achieved, but the result is just an empty talk.

When I made up my mind to start making money by design, I didn't feel that the whole world was opening the way for us. Instead, I feel that the road ahead is full of difficulties, unlike what I originally thought. Once I set this goal, resources, inspiration and opportunities will come to me.

We seem to overestimate the enthusiasm and motivation of adults for learning. Yes, it is the enthusiasm and motivation for learning. Many times we talk about learning ability and methods.

Needless to say, in the process of study and practice, you may face the obstruction of objective environment, and you will unconsciously build three mountains for your own way forward.

You don't have that much time to allocate what you really want to do.

In the long years, take an hour or two to study every night, and you can practice over time. But many people don't think so.

Suppose you are an employee whose salary is not very high and your work is not busy. You can increase part of your income through part-time work at night, and it is not low (whether at work or outside work); Another situation is to use this time to learn a skill, and you can only practice it for one or two hours a day, but you don't know when you can see the benefits of practicing this skill.

Excuse me, if it were you at this time, what would you choose?

Many people will say, to be calm, we must distinguish between short-term interests and long-term interests; Yes, you may be able to hold your breath, but for most people, it is safer to choose the former.

This does not include overtime, family responsibilities, time spent with family and social time.

In the world of adults, no amount of attention is useless.

I was obsessed with psychology for a while and searched some books online to read. I was hit by my colleagues several times, and they all asked, "What, do you want to study psychology and switch to counseling?" Then explain what to do after learning psychology, what training to do, and so on.

The direction and purpose of adults are very clear. If he feels useless after learning something, he probably won't have a strong motivation to learn it. After all, there are many things to choose from, so you don't have to spend all your time on a skill that won't pay off for a long time.

No one can control your state, it's just the worst state.

Many people are complaining that there is a sick boss, a strict boss, who works endlessly every day.

We always feel that the state of no one is in charge is the best state. However, putting it here is just the opposite.

Actually, you can think about it from another angle. If there is no boss to supervise the task every day and there is no strict assessment mechanism, can you grow up so fast?

In an unattended state, as long as you encounter a little difficulty, you can just find a reason to give up. For example, I'm too tired today. I'll practice tomorrow. I'm in a bad mood recently. I'll talk about it later.

With the rapid development of the film and television industry, this industry has also been highly valued by the society in the later period. According to the data, the employment rate of "movie animation" and "game art" is above 93%. Even some professionals are slowly moving in this direction. The average income of people in the film and television industry is more than 7 thousand, which is much higher than other industries. Most film and television companies have a perfect welfare system and diversified reward methods, which is a new attraction. It can be seen that the post-film industry can be described as fragrant.

Column packaging designers have become a high-paying industry pursued by people. Seeing that the film and television design industry is so hot, many students began to teach themselves film and television design, hoping to get a good job through their own efforts. However, less than 1% of people really found a job in film and television design through self-study, that is, 99% people finally gave up after self-study for a period of time. What is this concept? Of the 100 people, only 1 can study by itself, so the remaining 99%.

There are many reasons, but in the final analysis it is "no direction, no plan, no guidance"! On the way to self-study, these points are fatal enough. Nowadays, in the network era, it is very convenient for us to collect information, and we can get a lot of information through the network.

Because of this, we also need strong resolution, too many complicated materials, so that we don't know what we should learn and what we shouldn't learn!

For example, we all know that ps is the most used software for design, so ps can be used not only in the design industry, but also in many industries, which shows that its function is very powerful. So when we study ps, should we master all its functions?

The answer is no, there are some specific skills to be used in film and television design. We only need to master these skills skillfully, and we can already realize our editing ideas!

For example, we basically use AE software to do film and television design, which a zero-based friend Xiao Bai may not know! As we all know, the most famous function of ps is that it has very strong P-diagram ability, so most beginners may learn how to P-diagram, if you cut the diagram, and so on! But they don't know that these functions are almost never used in our film and television design. In the end, you studied for a month or two, but you didn't learn anything useful. This is a detour!

The above is just an example of ps software. Looking at this road of self-study, how many detours to take and how much perseverance to succeed in self-study! But most people in today's society are quite lazy, and few people want this perseverance, which leads to most self-learners giving up halfway!

There is a saying that I like very much, and it is also very grounded for everyone: if you work hard on this matter, you don't have to fight for talent. Practice makes perfect and you can kill many people. Because most people are lazy, as long as you work hard a little every day, you will surpass many people. After all, the world of ordinary people is who can bite their teeth and not let go.

1. If conditions permit, you should still invite a coach or teacher.

Hiring coaches and teachers here does not mean that you can avoid detours or crash courses with coaches and teachers. Teachers and coaches can really give you many ways, but more importantly, they can give you feedback on your study progress and help you establish scientific and self-disciplined study habits.

If you are learning some computer skills, such as design, PPT, or programming, writing, etc. You can try to register for online courses for a fee. Find courses that can interact, communicate and give feedback with teachers and students.

Because only in this way can you always know your learning progress, where your weak links are, whether you are lazy or not, and whether you have not studied for a long time. The study of people around you will also put pressure on you, forcing you to keep learning when you don't want to.

Find a good reason for you to practice this skill.

It sounds utilitarian, but the adult world itself bears a lot of responsibilities. When doing things, be utilitarian and be responsible for your own time. This is also a problem that I have been encountering. Whenever I encounter difficulties and setbacks, I will think of this original reason, what was the original intention of doing it at that time, and why I persisted. Just because of interest, maybe I really can't go far. Interest can only make you feel happy when you do things, but it can't help you through every difficulty.

You need to find an environment where you can improve your skills.

In other words, it is to join the circle. If there is no circle, it is ok to have several partners who can study together. For example, the best way to learn English is to throw you into an environment like an English-speaking country. But many people don't have this condition. It's better to chat with some foreign friends in China and communicate constantly every day than to watch Friends at home alone.

The same is true of learning other skills. For example, if you study UI design, you have to have a circle of learning and progress, and there is enough environment to nourish it. It is much easier to get feedback from the market and users in the process of learning, and to further adjust your learning rhythm according to the feedback from users and the market than to build a car behind closed doors.

We used to fall in love with chess just for fun and have been studying it. I learn guitar because I want to date girls; Because I just like Jay Chou, I have been buying his albums and practicing his songs day and night.

Now our learning ability and learning methods are much stronger than in the past, but in the adult world, our mood has changed, and we are no longer simply learning a thing as before.

Learning is not an easy task, and self-study is not as simple as we thought. We can't go back. What we can do is to complete another transformation of ourselves by learning from adults.

If you have any ideas, you can write privately and share some industry experience.
