When I was a child, my parents were always busy making money. The advantage of going to the amusement park without my parents was that I could spend a lot of time at Xinhua Bookstore on weekends.

See more, buy less.

Even though it is a book, my parents also want it to be a serious book.

Fortunately, when I was in elementary school, rental bookstores could still be found everywhere in fifth- and sixth-tier cities like Xinyu.

Most of the books in the store are second-hand novels, including world famous novels and low-grade romance novels, and occasionally some teaching aids. Before entering the store, you can smell the kind of books that have been touched hundreds of times.

smell.

Although the rent of ten cents a day is extremely low, I still stand in the bookstore from morning to night with the mentality that I can eat two more spicy sticks after reading in the store.

It’s common to read two or three books a day. After reading them on Sunday, you can borrow another book to read during the school day.

The more I read, the more I naturally have the desire to write.

In addition to the desire for expression, there is more YY.

Yes, you read that right.

At that time, I was brainwashed by various Mary Sue plots, and the first work I wrote was a story about various men falling in love with me, centered on "me".

This is not serious.

What is more and more sustained is actually serious proposition composition.

I still remember the first time I was praised by my Chinese teacher.

When my composition was read out in front of the whole class, I felt that I might become a writer in the future, a leisurely and poor writer.

Children are like this, they shine brightly when given a little sunshine, and they have a fulcrum to think that they are all Archimedes.

At that time, in contrast to the teacher who was good at encouraging me, it was my mother who only said "so-so" in everything she said about me!

The essay, which was close to a perfect score, was recited to my mother with great emotion, and the evaluation always said, "It's just so-so."

In order to hear a word of praise from my mother, I can only keep writing, although I have not achieved this goal so far.

It is not difficult to see from the above that the reason why I started writing was for two reasons: ① desire for expression ② desire for expression.

Everyone has a desire for expression, and the degree and form of expression are different. Some are good at writing, while others are good at speaking.

So everyone actually has the foundation to start writing.

The difference in desire for expression will be even greater. Some people really just want to live an ordinary life and be stable in this world without anyone paying attention; while there is a type of people who are born to toss. Performing silent stage plays in the dark will not make them feel successful.

On the contrary, it will be suffocated because there is no audience and applause.

You need people, applause, and encouragement to keep doing it; for these, they are willing to keep doing it.

This is who I am.

Later, writing became a habit and even a means of making a living for me - from the new media editor who wrote 10 manuscripts a day to the operations manager who controlled the content of the new media matrix, writing became something I couldn’t stop.

inertial action.

Everyone may start writing for different reasons. Some people want to record life, some people want to be famous, and some people want to make money. But I have never met anyone who writes purely for the sake of writing.

Because writing is essentially a means, just like making money.

Everyone who loves money and wants to make money must want to achieve some purpose through money.

The reason why I say this is because people around me are so anxious that they have to learn and do everything. Some people earn millions through writing, so they buy courses and learn writing; some people lose weight every month.

A 10-pound counterattack goddess, she doesn't eat or drink to lose weight.

But they never think about, why do they do this?

What are you trying to gain by doing this?

Blindly following the trend and doing things for the sake of doing them will only lead to mediocrity and inaction, falling into the trap of "inefficient diligence".

This is what Lei Jun said, "Use tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness."

What successful seniors say "just do it" means that after you have figured out what you want to do, don't hesitate or worry about it, just do it.

Instead of closing your eyes and running headlong into the south wall.

May you have the perseverance to keep working hard and the wisdom to stop and think.
