"The Road to Wealth Freedom" says: ""Encouragement" is definitely a scarce resource in this world." I have a deep understanding of writing during this period. I thought that the people around me would encourage me and support me in writing. The result was not only not supported, but also opposed it. The reason was that they did not see the results, did not understand, and would not support it. Therefore, the way to deal with it is to complete growth silently, and once they write some results, they will be supported. There is a method for
, but how to persist until success is a big problem. Although as I understand more and more about writing, I realize that writing is becoming more and more important and plan to continue writing, I have to go through a long journey until I write some results. During this period, I will definitely encounter various difficulties, such as not knowing what to write, no one reads what I write, and the number of fans after writing for a long time is still very small, etc. These difficulties will affect my determination to persist in writing for a long time.
When we watch martial arts TV series or movies, when the protagonist encounters great difficulties and is depressed, a wise elder will always come out to encourage the protagonist to help the protagonist open the knot, and then the protagonist restores his fighting spirit and continues to move forward until he succeeds. It would be great if there was someone around me who could encourage me. Needless to say, just say a simple sentence: "I support you", which should make me firmly determined to continue writing, but as the book says, "Encouragement" is a scarce resource." There are too few people who can encourage others. Therefore, after reading "The Road to Wealth Freedom" twice, I decided to become a person who encourages others and name my official account "Inspirational Rabbit", but it is difficult to do it, especially when I meet a very nasty teammate when playing games, it is really difficult to encourage him to continue to cheer.
Reread the ending of this article today, "How to Be a Happier Person" and found that I did not fully understand why I should be a person who encourages others. The article says: "If you are a person who is good at encouraging others, then you will at least directly get two benefits. First of all, the people around you will involuntarily like you - who doesn't like people with scarce resources? More importantly, as you continue to encourage others and constantly see people who continue to move forward because of your encouragement get the results they expect, you will slowly become a person who does not need the encouragement of others - you have long become positive energy itself."
"Becoming a person who does not need the encouragement of others" means that when I encounter difficulties in the process of writing, I can persist in writing without the encouragement of others until I get the results I expect. I think if I become a person who does not require encouragement from others, I should be able to learn any skills I want to learn. This is what is called "altruism and ultimate self-interest".
