Recently read a speech and was deeply touched.
Computer otaku Matt Katz is tired of the unchanging life now, so he follows the footsteps of the great philosopher Morgan Spurlock and tries to do new things for 30 days.
The first thing he tried was to take a photo every day.
30 days of perseverance, Katz was surprised to find that those years that passed by and were once forgotten have never been so memorable.
He said excitedly, "I clearly remember where I was that day and what I was doing."
After that, Katz has done more and more difficult challenges.
With more and more "30-day challenges", Katz has gone from a desktop computer geek to a cycling enthusiast, and even hiked to the highest peak in Africa, Kilimanjaro .
And before starting 30 days of doing challenging things, Katz never took this risk, he didn't believe he could do it.
What’s more interesting is that he also participated in a 30-day challenge to write novels.
He and tens of thousands of people started from scratch and tried to write his own 50,000-word novel in 30 days.
How did Katz do it?
He set a goal for himself, writing 1667 words every day, and never sleeping until he finished writing.
The last day, after the last word was written, Katz said incredibly,
"This is so scary. I don't have to say 'I'm a computer scientist' in the future. If I want, I can say, 'I'm a novelist'."
The people at the scene were amused, and laughter and applause came one after another.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. I have always wanted to make breakthroughs in reading and writing, and I also understand that I should pay attention to reading improvement and accumulation.
, every time I am ambitious and make up my mind to make a plan to set up a FLAG, after three minutes of heat, it will soon cool down.
As a result, my family has stocked up a lot of books, and the knowledge has increased and the background of cultivation has not improved much.
detailed analysis is not that you don’t want to read or make progress, but that you have too big plans, too ambitious goals, and too eager to see results.
always hopes for an adventure, find top secrets, open up the Ren and Du meridians, become a master of the world overnight, and then walk around the world with your sword.
And Katz's speech gave me new inspiration.
Instead of fantasizing about reaching the top in one step, try some small, easy persistence.
Human nature is greedy for comfort. If you try to do something in your life, start with 30 days of change and persistence.
The next 30 days, from October 18 to November 18, I will try the following things:
1, change the work and rest time, go to bed before 11 o'clock every day, and get up at 5:30 in the morning.
The first thing to do when you get up is to read, read 100 pages, 50 pages of practical books, and 50 pages of non-practical books every day. 3 books a month, each book is carefully read using the 9 elements of reading, draw a thought introduction, and output an article.
practical books, "Fehman Learning Method" "Mind Map"
non-practical books, " Island Bookstore ", backup " Life Can't Bearable Light "
2. Persist in exercise, exercise 5 times a week, attend classes 2 times, and ride a bicycle at home for half an hour.
3. Learn the course of operating the official account, takes one month to update 3 public accounts every week. It can be a reading article or a reading essay record.
4. 2 articles are split every week, applies the 9 elements of reading to the articles, and restores the topics.
5, completed the manuscript before Wednesday, will not delay or owe it in the future, just like Katz, if you don’t finish it, don’t want to sleep.
6, regularly reviews weekly and monthly, sorts out the progress, and checks in simultaneously on Moments, Headlines, and WeChat official accounts. Friends are welcome to urge them. If does not do it, send 500 yuan red envelopes to each of the urged friends.
