At present, there are many rock climbing gymnasiums in China. This kind of commercial rock climbing is not amazing, but is protected by protective equipment. But for some outdoor natural rock climbing, it is estimated that there will be some excitement, but I have never seen any related ones.
Write in front
This is the thirteenth film review of my life. Put a mixed video at the end to pay tribute to the free souls who have stars in their eyes like Alex Honnold.
Viewing background
I learned about this movie when I was listening to logical thinking in the morning. In order not to affect my thinking and prevent Luo Pang from spoiling, I listened to the audio of 10 for 2 minutes and turned it off decisively. I am going to listen to it after watching the movie.
I didn't read the thoughts before.
1, I like watching documentary films very much, and I am the best documentary feature film in the 9th1Oscar. Luo Pang recommends blessing, and I look forward to it with five stars!
2. If it's just rock climbing, will it be boring?
3. Let me guess about the plot. An ordinary person finally overcame difficulties and stood on the peak of his life through hard work.
4. Luo Pang is still a drama in just two minutes. I know that the protagonist will be unarmed. Climb a steep granite nearly 1 km without any equipment!
Film description
The 9th1Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film recorded Alex's journey to the summit. The best day of Alex's life was spent in rock climbing. Without ropes, safety belts and other protective equipment, I climbed to the top of the rock of Sheikh Yi 'er, a 3000-foot (900-meter-long) "climbing universe center", on my limbs.
Thoughts-How to Become a Master
It seems that a master is always a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people.
How hard is what Alex is doing? Let's just say that freehand rock climbing ranks first among the top ten most dangerous sports in the world, with a mortality rate as high as 50%! The rock wall that Alex wants to challenge-Emirates Rock is the wall of dawn in the hearts of all climbers, a diamond, a holy place and a light. . . Anyway, it's very awesome! Most people who have successfully challenged before have protective equipment, and it takes 15 days to succeed with their bare hands! And a few days after his challenge, he went to a professional German team sponsored by adidas. It took five days, but he just didn't climb up. . .
Then the key point is coming. The miracle created by Alex is: 3 hours and 56 minutes, climbing nearly 1,000 meters of Emirates Rock without protection! The picture is too shocking, so I suggest you go and see it yourself.
There is no doubt that this is a miracle, which is enough to shock all the judges of the Oscar and each of us, but this miracle did not suddenly grow, but was created by hard work. Behind this is eight years of long preparation, the memory of more than 1000 movements, and more than 50 repeated climbs. . . This Emirates Rock is too familiar for him. Alex knows every detail of this rock wall and the direction of each stone like the back of his hand. In his words, that successful challenge was like a performance after countless rehearsals, and what was normal could not be normal. I think, it is a kind of surging in the eyes of outsiders, but it is a kind of calm in his eyes, just like you get up early to brush your teeth and wash your face.
So, how did he create this miracle? In other words, how did he become a master? Here are nine tricks to share with you.
First, the miracle body.
For Alex, physical fitness must be a body that can create miracles, and it is a bit like the soldiers and horses have not moved food and grass first. He can hang himself for 1 hour with the strength of one finger. Every muscle and joint of him is born for rock climbing after years of training, which gives him the foundation for rock climbing. In addition, his body has already formed habits. With muscle memory, all difficult movements depend on habits instead of temporary thinking of the brain.
We can see that masters from all walks of life, whether they are top basketball masters, chefs, typewriters, etc., are inseparable from the role of the body, which plays a vital role in a certain step to some extent. Because there is too little time, too many tasks and too complicated situations when creating miracles, we can't rely on the temporary perceptual or rational thinking of the brain to decide what we should do, but we should be like a robot, fully automatic and instantly adjust the right experience and ability.
There is no shortcut to the miracle body, but the best shortcut is to keep repeating, practice a lot and shape the body with the compound interest of time. At the same time, the miracle body saves us a lot of energy, has a better state and even a longer life, which seems to be helpful for becoming a master and creating a miracle.
Second, the passive amygdala, calm soul.
The amygdala has always been the representative of human emotions. If you can control the amygdala, you can control your emotions. Alex wants to challenge success, the most important thing is not whether his body is ready, but his mental state. Let's call it the soul.
If the soul tells the body, tell Alex that 60 trillion cells: I am afraid! I'm not ready! I'm so tired! As you can imagine, Alex will definitely fall to pieces. So how did he do it? Repeated drills, this drill is not the body, but the soul. He repeats the details of climbing in his mind again and again. The climber calls this kind of exercise visual imagination. He imagines his every move, and if he is wrong, he will start again. He even imagines himself falling from the sky, the cracking sound of his body hitting the rock, and deliberately making mistakes to see if he can solve the problem. . . This repetition blunted his amygdala, which proved to be the same. The doctor gave him a magnetic resonance vibration and found that his amygdala was more difficult to activate than ordinary people. In addition, Alex's childhood experience, personality and family environment have also cast his calmness, but I believe that the most important thing is the repeated tempering the day after tomorrow, so that a hundred-year-old soul lives in his 30-odd body.
When I first became a trainer, I was told that if I was nervous standing in front of the stage, it only showed that the number of times I stood was not enough. When you stand 1000 times, no one will be nervous. I think, for us ordinary people, we don't need such a calm soul and such a passive amygdala like Alex. After all, we are not going to climb the cliff with our bare hands. However, many of us need to face the cultivation of inner peace, calmness and calmness in times of trouble, and relaxation on the podium. So this kind of visual imagination, simulation exercise, and putting ourselves in extreme situations to train our souls is very necessary. The secret is one: When you take every scene you can practice in your life as an opportunity to improve, your soul will be as cool and calm as a few days, months and years later.
Third, standardization and gamification.
1000m process, what are the details and possibilities? According to one per meter, there are at least 1000, what's more, this is just a route! If you want to remember every detail perfectly, every hand point and foot point, you must use your head. We can see from the documentary that the journey from the bottom of the rock wall to the top is divided into many modules by professional climbers, and each important node is given a name, such as "the place of bail".
Let's take a look at the principle behind this. The first is to split the target. It is easier to achieve the goal of 1000 meter by splitting it into small targets and nodes, which is often used in our daily life. The huge seemingly impossible target becomes less terrible after being split, and more splitting turns people's psychological fears.
The second is to establish a unified standard. Once there is a standard, it means that it is knowable, controllable, quantifiable and, most importantly, can be iteratively upgraded. The data source of each node of Cedeyan must not be collected by Alex himself, because with the standard, it can evolve iteratively. Thousands of climbers provide a lot of data from all angles, so that the standard can be continuously revised, improved and expanded. This efficiency is not something that a single person can do. Therefore, in order to make a thing evolve iteratively, there must be a standard or institutional process, which will be like having life, rather than standing still and having no direction in the chaotic information.
The third is gamification thinking. I think everything will become boring after a lot of repetition, just like our life and work. So, we can make everything more interesting. After all, you and I are both interesting souls. You can make all this gamification, such as giving the cold rocks funny names. Interesting names will be easier and more interesting for people to communicate, which brings adjustment to this tense climbing environment. Gamification thinking is used in many companies nowadays, such as scoreboards, medals, milestones, work like a monster upgrade, and the completion of tasks can be rewarded with points, which is very suitable for young people in the new era. Life is the same, you can give yourself the task of smiling in the morning and see everyone smile; You can also make a day very ceremonial, and if you have some moths, you are happy. Anyway, life is to be interesting.
Fourth, the resumption and reflection.
How do people progress? The answer is: thinking. All knowledge, experience and ability are things that have passed through your mind at least twice. If you want to remember it and use it, you need more times. Alex has his own climbing diary, and every time he comes back, he will make a double check to sum up his gains and losses, advantages and disadvantages, so any details have been interpreted by Alex many times, which will be very efficient.
Many of us are unwilling to think, let alone reflect. There is a saying that 90% of people seriously think twice a year, which, although exaggerated, reflects the reality. As for this matter, few people can do it because they have to face up to their shortcomings, shortcomings and shortcomings, so this is why we are ordinary people, and experts usually choose the more difficult road, which requires constant benchmarking, reflection and face up to their true selves.
Five, the details to the extreme, freedom to limit.
Masters are people who have the spirit of death or craftsmanship, which is a state of pursuing the ultimate in detail. Just like Jiro Ono, the god of sushi, in order to practice knife skills, he had to iron towels 10 years before! Just like Alex, a master climber, he will study for months for a foothold. This process of pursuing the ultimate not only tempered the mind needed for success, but also made random uncertain factors controllable. All masters are not people who dare to take risks, but people who can control risks. How can they be controlled? The details are extreme! If even the basic units that make up the event are thoroughly studied and practiced, why not be afraid of the overall event after combination? Of course, if you master the details, you may not be able to master the whole, and the master will generally consider it, so the master will catch up with the details from the whole, and then catch up with the whole from the details. For example, Alex will put his feet in the split module to remember, and then practice the whole after the details are in place. The Chief Rock alone has climbed more than 50 times completely, with both local micro and overall macro.
As a result, risks become controllable, actions become unique, and freedom becomes limited. Luo Pang said that masters can see more restrictions, not freedom. We may think that a great writer can write freely and change styles at will, but in fact, the best writer knows how many restrictions there are in a good article and how many fixed routines are not free. We may think that Alex is better than ordinary people because he wants to climb how to climb. There may be countless choices from the bottom to the top of Emirates Rock, which will make him more free and more casual than ordinary people. On the contrary, the route Alex climbs may be the only one! There may be restrictions everywhere! A master should know what he can't do, not what he can do.
In addition, in the process of pursuing the ultimate, things will change, the ultimate meaning lies in the depths, and the process of pursuing the ultimate is also a process of digging deep. From the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, you will realize the Japanese saying: the gods are in the details.
Sixth, focus on a single breakthrough.
In a subdivision field, if you are top-notch, you will have the scarcity in this society. All the experts focus on a certain field, and it is a subdivided field. There are very few people who can do well in various fields and are known to all. For most of us ordinary people, it is not the best strategy to dabble in various fields. Therefore, if you want to be a master and a very powerful person, the first thing you have to do is to have a specialty, you have to focus, and even you can break through the shackles of the real class by this specialty. The reason is simple. The focus is because we have limited energy and resources, and the world is too complex and comprehensive.
Before Alex, some people had already climbed the Emirates Rock, but the predecessors either climbed it with protection or for a long time, and no one could finish the challenge with their bare hands in one day. It's like climbing Mount Everest, and now many people have succeeded. If you want to do something, you can try to climb it blindfolded or without any equipment, and you will be remembered by the world. Of course, this is a joke.
What Alex has achieved is an unprecedented achievement, which is a breakthrough after focusing on a subdivision. Focusing on a single breakthrough not only maximizes the release of our limited energy, but also is the only way to let the world see you. Because the world is too complicated, too much information, and too comprehensive, if you want to stand out in such a complicated world, you must do your best in the subdivided fields in order to be seen by others. This matter is divided into two steps. The first step is to find the subdivided areas. The second step is to focus on segmentation, focus and achieve the ultimate.
Some people say that the measure of a person's success is speed, not time. If the time is long enough, if I give you 1000 years, I will live a successful life. If a person 16 years old earns100000 a year, you may say that he is very powerful and successful, but at the age of 50, the same result may be failure. Some people also say that the speed of growth should keep up with the speed of parents' aging, which involves the problem of a person's growth efficiency. How can we grow at a high speed? Not by yourself, but by learning from others.
If the world is a game, if you want to play this game well, there must be a lot of game cheats. This cheat can be a classic book or a cow's experience, but at the same time the cheats are also divided into advantages and disadvantages. Low-level cheats will bring you less efficiency than high-level cheats. How can you get high-level cheats? The answer is to be a master. Why does the gap between master and ordinary people become bigger and bigger after becoming a master? Because there is equality and mutual benefit in this world, there is also a head effect. You have the top head ability and resources in a field, and then expand it horizontally. You find that there are masters from all walks of life around you. Each master holds the most powerful cheats in his own field and has his own scarcity, and then exchanges with you. Do you think you can not grow fast? For example, an actor wants to be a director, but he has never had relevant experience or fame. What should he do? Be a good actor first. After becoming famous, he can not only be a director, but also give concerts. . . Like Deng Chao.
Being a master will make you see more beautiful scenery and meet better people, that's all.
Seven, maverick.
People who walk alone and fast are better? I've heard such a saying before, probably because such people cherish time and focus on important things, such as when the school is over, and others go to eat with a smile, top student walks through the crowd alone and has a meal! Will top student think at this moment: You zhazha, a waste of time? Let's not say whether this behavior is good or not. It is undeniable that this maverick really shields many temptations, saves more time and lays the foundation for becoming a master. Alex's maverick was originally due to his personality, and this withdrawn and shy personality was due to family factors, which led him to be alone when he first climbed the rock. Master in the pursuit of high road, people will be less and less, this road was less people, to the top master, there should be no peers.
Being a master may not necessarily mean being unsociable or maverick, but at least you have to foresee the future, and you have to endure loneliness or even not understand. Come to a bowl of chicken soup, only when you can stand loneliness can you keep prosperity!
Eight, active and passive luck.
There are two kinds of luck, one is active and the other is passive. Most people call that kind of falling pie on your head luck. This kind of luck is passive luck, random and uncertain. If you don't know when to come to your door, you have no choice. In other words, you are passive.
There is also a kind of luck, which is active, because you try too much and it happens naturally, just like luck is there, it doesn't come over, you take the initiative to go over. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and so is luck. When your own ability is strengthened and you try more and more actions, you can turn opportunities that others think are not opportunities into opportunities and luck that others think is not luck into luck. This is the master. Some people say that Alex is really lucky. It was a sunny day on his challenge. A few days after his challenge, rocks fell due to weathering. But you know, in order to make opportunities and luck come, Alex and his friends specially carried empty bags to pack rocks that looked precarious to judge the weather changes. . . All efforts and initiative have increased the probability of luck and opportunity.
Be active, not passive.
9. Mission and epic significance.
Alex said that this is his free solo and this is his solo. In the last few hundred meters of his climb, the faint background music of the film set off Alex's heavy and firm breathing clearly, which belongs to his solo and to all mankind.
In the vast universe, we have been exploring extraterrestrial life and ourselves, asking ourselves again and again, what is the meaning of living? We are afraid of loneliness and becoming the only wisdom awareness in the whole universe. In the short and long human course, we have challenged our own limits again and again, with faster speed, higher height and heavier weight. Every breakthrough seems to be a cry from this small human life under the background of the universe, and we will not give in! Our thoughts can cross the Milky Way and reach the depths of the universe, and our bodies also break through the calibration limits of physics again and again.
I am an optimist. I regard this attitude of constantly breaking through my own limitations as awe of life.
I have always felt that there are many ways to fear life, such as this warm and exciting way, which is also one I like. Alex said that some people regard the pursuit of happiness as the meaning of life, while he regards performance as the meaning of life. He is like an excellent soldier, pursuing better performance. I can't fully understand it, but I know that he has provoked death again and again, definitely not blaspheming life, but paying tribute to life.
Alex's success in climbing Emirates Rock with his bare hands in 3 hours and 56 minutes is bound to be a miracle in human history. No one will refuse to accomplish such an epic thing. At the same time, after his success, Alex is committed to public welfare and the protection of the earth's nature, hoping to influence and help more people through his own strength. All his actions have been blessed with a layer of meaning, which makes him more willing to do this thing with his bare hands.
A company has its own mission, such as Alibaba's making the world have no difficult business; A game gives each character a mission, such as saving people and protecting their homes; Each of us needs to give our actions a certain sense of mission, which is a way to help us peel ourselves off and look at the world from a higher angle. Once you have a mission, you will not be you. You have a more ambitious goal and direction, and the feel affirmation of self-sacrifice that arises spontaneously should also move you.
I also have experience in life. For example, what meaning does running give you to make you stick to it? I once gave the meaning of running: if you punch in 20 times a month, you can donate money and clothes to charity at the end of the month. Every time you want to be lazy, this meaning reminds me that you must stick to it, otherwise you can't donate books to children in mountainous areas. Well, the pro-test is effective.
The above, nine tricks, for you, I wish we can all become masters.
Write it at the end
In August last year, I fulfilled one of my wishes before I turned 30-skydiving, and jumped from 10000 feet in Pattaya Beach. Many people may think that I go skydiving because I like excitement. Undeniably, I do have a good impression on high-altitude projects, and I want to go to the cliff swing in Queenstown, New Zealand, the bungee jumping in the Macau Tower, and many more, but all this is not only sensory stimulation, but also a kind of awe for life, which is a real sense of existence when it collides with nature.
