Hello, I am Lin Xiaoxi.
I often say that 2022 is the year of my awakening.
Since this year, I have read a lot of output and done some other things.
All of my growth is actually inseparable from a change in thinking.
Today I will share a kind of thinking that made me grow rapidly:
paid thinking.
01.
Buy books
My growth is inseparable from reading a lot.
Reading is really the most cost-effective investment.
Nowadays, I really advise everyone I meet to read more.
Because I really learned too much nutrients from the book.
books are the ladder for a person's growth and progress.
The more you read, the more different the scenery in front of you will become.
After reading 10 books, you may not see any changes;
After reading 100 books, you will feel a little different;
After reading 1,000 books, you will see a broader world.
Regarding reading, this picture is the most vivid footnote:
Today, I read e-books more often.
When I encounter a book I like, I will buy it back, keep it by my side, read it over and over again, and review it frequently.
We also often say: If you buy a book and read it, you are a scholar; if you buy a book but do not read it, you are a philanthropist.
Regarding buying books, Mr. Tang Nuo said this:
This is the most cost-effective thing in the world.
Because, a great writer, thinker, a lifetime of time, genius and his work, he may only leave eight to ten books.
You have learned the most essential things from such a person's life. I don't know if anything in the world is cheaper than this.
You spend the money of a meal and buy back a book that the author spent one, three or even ten years working on.
I don't know of a better deal in the world.
02.
Buy a course
Although there are indeed many courses on cutting leeks on the market.
But there are also some great people who have created excellent courses.
is like the courses in the APP, which have been tested by tens of thousands of people. I also signed up for
and some writing courses on the market and learned a lot, and gained a lot.
If you want to sign up for a course, here is a tip for you to identify which ones are cutting leeks:
When you see the words "Learn xxx in 7 days", there is a high probability that you are cutting leeks.
It is absolutely impossible to master any skill quickly.
If you want to learn or even master a skill, you cannot do without a lot of practice in the correct way.
In addition, you should also sign up for courses based on your own interests. You don’t want to sign up for what others are taking, and sign up for whichever one has more people.
After spending money like this, I haven’t learned anything yet, and the input-output ratio is too low.
Of course, the most important point is to study in time after registering for the course.
You can't put it there and regard "sense of ownership" as "sense of learning".
Real learning is practice, and it is about doing everything by yourself.
Only in the process of personal practice can you transform what you have learned into your own knowledge and wisdom.

Join the community
In the past, I believed in working alone and walking fast alone.
Now, I prefer to go together. A group of people can go far.
I signed up for a shared reading camp some time ago, which played a profound role in my change and growth. Before
, I updated weekly, and I had to write "high-value" content before posting it.
are all caused by perfectionism.
In just one week in the shared reading camp, I was able to produce relatively high-quality articles every day.
won the "Excellent Star" three times and the "Best Star" once. When
finally concluded the camp, they also won the third place in the personal points rankings.
Of course, it is also inseparable from my original foundation. It’s just that the shared reading camp helped me open up the second line of , rendu and .
The important thing is that these have allowed me to see more possibilities in myself.
That is because I have unlimited potential, and it makes me believe that I can write good content every day.
Since then, daily updates are no longer a difficult thing for me.
can find new topics every day and dig out valuable experiences and lessons from himself as material for writing output.
With this paid learning experience, I gained valuable experience.
seems to have opened the door to a new world, and I can’t stop at all.
This also made me discover the importance of circles.
People who share the same channel will eventually meet.
In the same circle, you will meet many high-energy people.
The light they give off complements your light.
Whenever you can't persist, you will receive a lot of encouragement;
Whenever you want to be lazy, you will also be scolded by some people;
Whenever you doubt yourself, you can see from the predecessors the path they have taken;
...
Later, I successfully joined the Anti-Entropy Partner and moved forward side by side with the friends in the team.
Some of the reading camps, growth communities, etc. at the end of the article are all projects of our team.
If anyone is interested, you can also make an appointment with me for consultation.
I have experienced these courses, which have allowed me to grow rapidly and are absolutely worth the money.
and sign up from me, you can also get a friendly discount price.
looks forward to working hard to grow together in 2023!

Attention>Time>Money
The above are some aspects of my rapid growth through paid thinking since this year.
In fact, the payment mentality is ultimately a self-investment mentality.
Teacher Li Xiaolai said in "The Road to Freedom of Wealth": attention, time and money.
Many people think that money is the most important thing, but it is not.
Money is not the most important, because it can be regenerated;
Time is not the most important, because it essentially does not belong to you, you can only try to be friends with it and let it be used for you.
What is the most important?
Your attention is the most important and valuable resource you have.
Your attention is your own decision.
Regarding time management, in fact, the only thing we can manage is our own attention.
After understanding this, I cherish it when I spend my attention.
used to focus on eating melons, playing chicken, playing TikTok, chatting and gossiping in the entertainment industry.
Now, I basically focus on my own growth.
focus on all skills that have a cumulative effect, and then give them sufficient learning, thinking and training.
For example, whenever I have time, I read books and study, sign up for classes, learn from great people, etc.
Investing time and attention in yourself is the most cost-effective thing.
So I have made rapid progress this year and grown a lot.
The sooner a person wakes up, the sooner he can live the life he likes.
Human growth is inseparable from the transformation of thinking, the improvement of cognition, the updating of concepts, the change of behavior, and the formation of habits.
Finally, I would like to give you a piece of Margaret Thatcher :
Pay attention to your thoughts, it will become your words; Pay attention to your words, it will become your actions; Pay attention to your actions, it will become your habits; Pay attention to your habits, it will become your character; Pay attention to your character, it will determine your destiny.
