Every New Year, I make a lot of New Year's resolutions for myself, but when I review them at the end of each year, I find that many of the plans have not been completed, and I feel very disappointed.
Therefore, this year’s plan is not to do so much. I mainly sort out three important things, and I also believe that doing these three things well is already very difficult.
In the new year, I hope that I can make good money, study well, write well, and become a better version of myself.
Work hard to make money
As a human being, desire is never a sin. I believe everyone has thought about such a life:
Open a small shop and live a free life;
Want to travel all the time, feel life, and see the outside world;
I want to own a big house and decorate it the way I like;
These will be the beautiful ideals of most of us, but the prerequisite for realizing these ideals will be: wait until I have money.
once saw this question on the Internet: Why should we work hard to make money?
had a favorable answer, saying that the meaning of working hard to make money is that when you see a bag one day, you will not say it is too expensive to buy; when we see others driving a luxury car, we will not lament that I wish I had money; when we envy others that they can live in a big house, we will not lament that we can only rent a house.
Although money cannot do anything, but without money, nothing can be done well.
In many cases, money is indeed not everything, but many problems in reality can be solved with money.
The existence of money is of great significance to our lives, and it can also make us live a better life.
Therefore, what kind of life we want to live has to be earned by ourselves. No amount of chicken soup articles or great principles can compare with the sense of security that a banknote gives.
Make money well, be less pretentious and work harder.
I hope that in the days to come, we can all live the way we like, live our ideal life, and will not be looked down upon by others because of lack of money, nor will we live uncomfortable because of lack of money.
Make money well, complain less, be able to protect the people you care about, and have enough confidence to live a good life.
Therefore, in the years when you should work hard, don’t choose comfort, and in the years when you should fight hard, don’t waste your time.
Read more and grow more
Regarding reading, the biggest surprise in 2022 should be Dong Yuhui.
He was selling steaks, giving English classes, and outputting all kinds of knowledge in the live broadcast room.
Some people say that he has redefined live broadcasting, allowing every product to have its own spiritual value beyond its practical significance.
These extraordinary conversations did not appear out of thin air, but came from reading one book after another.
His popularity has also made people see the power of reading. For ordinary people, any time we spend reading will be rewarded to us at some point.
I saw this sentence on the Internet: If you don’t read for a day, no one will notice; if you don’t read for a week, you will start to get angry; if you don’t read for a month, your IQ will lose to that of a pig.
To put it simply, the change that reading brings to a person does not happen overnight, but is a process in which qualitative change drives quantitative change.
Read one book, and you may not feel any changes in yourself;
Read ten books, and you will find that your vision has changed, and you are not so easily anxious, and you are not so easily disturbed by external sounds;
When we read many, many books, our structure, vision, and mind are already beyond the reach of most people in their lifetime.
In the new year, I hope we can all read more and grow more. Even if it is just reading a book and reading a content that is beneficial to ourselves, it is also a big growth.
Write well and keep recording your life
Many of us may read, but if the books we read cannot be applied in practice, they may not be of much use.
Writing is a way to test the effectiveness of our reading.
Many of my articles are from books. During the reading process, I will keep thinking to see if the content in the book can be connected with my work, and see if I can write an article after seeing some new ideas.
This habit of writing has brought great changes to me.
Writing has allowed me to become a freelancer and live a life of working only without going to work. It also brought me an income and made me more confident and independent.
Of course, I have also received many private messages from friends who feel that they have no talent for writing, cannot write, and don’t know what they should write.
But in fact, when you have the idea of writing, you just turn on the computer and write down your mood at that time. The feeling at that time will be fine, and you don’t need to keep talking about words.
Writing is essentially a means of recording.
Take good notes and write down clearly what you want to do. This is enough. It does not require gorgeous rhetoric, let alone how good your literary talent is.
Write well and make recording life a habit. I believe we will all find ourselves in this process.
Looking back on the past year, I have a lot of regrets and gains; there have been great things but also ups and downs.
But no matter what, good or bad, it has passed.
Forget the sadness, troubles and pain, clear everything and start again.
In the new year, let us become a better version of ourselves together.
