Many times, what we see is always discouraged because of the cumbersome steps. Just like the daily update activity I participated in, I hesitated for a long time, fearing that I would not be able to persist, and also worried that I would have no material and content to write. Today is already my 24th day of daily updates. The little thoughts of life are our material.

The same was true when I participated in Teacher Qi’s writing camp. I was very ambitious at first, but the inconveniences in life made me a little confused. Even though it was only 28 days, I really thought about giving up, but every time I wrote an essay on the Internet, I would get likes, comments, and support from my writing camp friends, and even a gift from Teacher Jiang. These forces ignite a small flame that is about to die out.

Whether you are a lion head or participate in a writing camp, as long as you have love in your heart and persist, you will gain a different taste and life.
