Text‖ Daniel Li I am a person who loves to eat, especially delicious food. At a certain moment when I am greedy, I will never forget the fragrance that I once left in my mouth.

Most people who love food also like to watch food documentaries, such as A Bite of China. After watching episode after episode, over and over again, one sentence was mentioned repeatedly: fresh raw materials.

For a good chef, raw materials are very important, which directly determines the final taste of the dish.

For a good author, writing materials are also very important, which directly determines the final quality of the article.

A top-notch dish, even if a lonely person tastes it, he will be cheering in his mind.

An extremely good article, even if a lonely person reads it, it will cause emotional ups and downs in the heart.

The raw materials are not only important, they also determine what kind of food you can cook.

There is a chef competition program on CCTV. One of the links is for the chef to pick ingredients. If someone gets priority, they can pick a lot of ingredients, while others have a smaller choice and can only take the leftovers. In most cases,

The former has a greater chance of winning.

The same is true for writing articles. The more materials you have, the more likely you are to write a good article. If it is just sporadic materials collected from the Internet, the articles you write will often feel patchwork, let alone impress the readers.

Not even moved.

Since materials are so important, what kind of materials should we choose? Are there any standards for good materials?

There is a simple and practical way to decide which materials are worth collecting: don’t listen to your brain’s judgment, but listen to your body.

For example, when we see a new piece of material, do we have strong emotional fluctuations, such as being moved, angry, happy, etc.?

If the answer is yes, then this is good material.

Because if our bodies react strongly to this message, then presumably our readers will too.

I am Daniel Li. From today on, I will live a hard life, read and write, face my soul, and indulge in the ocean.
