Three years ago, I first came into contact with "knowledge payment", but because I was afraid of being cut off, I waited and watched the paid study for three years.

In August this year, I finally started trying to learn paid.

In the first month I started paid study, I spent a total of three sums.

The first transaction was to participate in Xiao Yuer's August writing check-in group, the fee was 99 yuan. If you insist on writing 12 articles in a month, you can return the full amount and have a share reward. If the challenge is not successful, the 99 yuan fee will be confiscated.

The second transaction is another public account writing check-in group. It is similar to Xiao Yuer's activity rules and the cost is 49 yuan.

The third transaction was to register for the Knowledge Planet of Lin Gongzi, and the fee was 365 yuan.

out of the caution of beginners, the paid learning I enroll in can all tuition fees . As long as you complete the corresponding clock in as required, you can fully refund it.

This shows that although I have agreed with paid learning, I am still more cautious in paying learning.

The emergence of knowledge payment awareness

Tell me why I started to learn for a paid time.

After graduating from university, I had almost no paid study except for the traditional meaning of buying books.

Think about it carefully, this is a very scary thing.

I have a meal outside for 300 yuan, and traveling for a few thousand yuan, buying a facial care package for more than 1,000 yuan, and even buying a lipstick for more than 400 yuan. I have never hesitated and don’t feel that there is any problem.

However, I hesitated for three years if I had a few hundred yuan study course, wondering if it was worth it. The incident of

itself deserves deep reflection.

paid learning is not as good as a Givenchy lipstick? Thinking of this, I was silent for a long time.

"Lifelong Learning" slogan is loud, but it only learns some basic knowledge; I just read a few pages and read it in general, but I never understand the deep thoughts; I only learn some basic knowledge, and I never thought about deepening my research... The result of such behavior is that I have not made any progress in the past few years.

for three years, and the salary is still on the same level, with a floating rate of no more than 1,000 yuan;

for three years, and the fans of the official account are still on hundreds of people. The major registered self-media have not brought me any benefits.

5 for three years, I still stayed there, watching others get stronger and better, pick the fruits of victory.

It has been three years since I gradually began to deny and doubt myself, and anxiety, disappointment and emptiness often dominate my heart.

I think, if I don’t make any changes, then five years later, will I still be the same as I am now?

The answer is obvious. I am still just holding a few thousand yuan of dead salary. Although my life is not short of a stretch, it is destined to be mediocre.

In the documentary "Seven Years of Life", there is a clip that I have a profound influence. A little boy went to Africa to teach. He said: "The most important thing in life is the degree of richness, not the length of time."

This sentence also deeply awakened me and made me begin to doubt my current seemingly stable life. Instead of being so dull, it is better to welcome a richer life.

I think I must make some changes.

The power of role models

The big guys around me are all paying to study.

My paid learning journey has begun, and I cannot do without these three people: Dong Yuhui, Principal Yijun, and Xiao Yuer.

Teacher Dong has been very popular recently, and I am also a fan of Teacher Dong.

I like him because he changed my cognition and made me realize the importance of reading and learning again. From Teacher Dong, I have strengthened my determination to be a "long-term".

Principal Yijun is my leader. She is my enlightenment teacher for paid learning. She really exists around me. She is the closest female learner to me. I call her "the first person to pay for knowledge".

As early as 2016, she spent nearly 10,000 yuan to learn the squat horse stance management workshop course of Zhang Junli, an executive of Alibaba , and later led the middle and senior management of the group and the school to learn this course.

When P.E.T.’s parental efficiency training just emerged in China, she signed up to follow the Chinese supervisor, Teacher An Xin. In 2021, she also successfully promoted T.E.T youth efficiency training and blossomed in our school.

Since 2020, Principal Yijun will lead us to study every week; this year, she joined Li Yinuo ’s “Nuoyan Community” and signed up for courses such as 10,000 anchors and family physical examination education.

“knowledge payment” and “paid learning” are the words she has mentioned many times in the past six months.

I used to be not inclined to pay for knowledge, and I also defined "knowledge payment" as "IQ tax". However, as "knowledge payment" becomes more and more common, more and more people are paying for knowledge. I began to change this view and try to pay for knowledge.

Another one who influenced me was Xiao Yuer, a freelance writer born in the 1995s.

For a long time, the official account "Xiao Yuer's House" was in my star tag because it can inspire me and make me feel the vitality.

My first paid study was Xiao Yuer.

I followed her around 2019. I watched her grow up step by step to the present. She brought me great encouragement and anxiety. When I wanted to learn again, I chose Xiao Yuer.

is honored to meet her "August Writing Check-in Challenge Camp". It is quite ashamed to say that this is the first time I have participated in online paid study after I graduated from college. In this check-in Challenge Camp, I have met many people with the same frequency and have won the reward for the successful challenge.

Is it necessary to pay for knowledge

Seeing this, maybe your mind to pay for learning is already ready, so is "paid learning" really necessary?

I can answer you with certainty, it is necessary.

Next, I will share my experience and gains from the "knowledge payment" novice this month:

01. Join the circle with me. Paid learning is to "filter" to create a group of like-minded friends through paid . Everyone joins a circle with a good atmosphere. In this circle, you will meet many like-minded partners or great people and find people with the same frequency as you.

02. The resource link is more accurate. It is undeniable that now is an era of information explosion, and we can easily find the resources we want, but these resources are usually scattered and unsystematic.

not only takes time to collect, but also takes a lot of effort to learn. Through knowledge payment, we can get more systematic and accurate first-hand information, which is simply worth the money.

03. Expose your personal IP. is particularly important for people who are preparing to do self-media. Those who can start classes and recruit students generally have certain resources. Through paid learning, you can get more faces from big Vs, and you can also contribute and post articles.

04. Self-discipline enhancement. Only by growing up with your companions can you go further. It is easy for a person to give up easily. He will study hard because he feels sorry for money.

There is a sentence in the movie " out of reach ":

"Sometimes, you have to enter other people's world to discover what is missing in your own world."

had no awareness of paid learning before, which led to my obscurity. Without teammates and no interests, I did not persist.

Now it is gradually realizing that the gap between people lies in cognition, and breaking cognitive gap lies in the ability to acquire knowledge and practice in person.

Sometimes it is better to learn from people for 30 minutes and listen to experience sharing, which is also an important way to acquire knowledge.

The detours I have taken and suffered losses. I don’t want people who come later to experience it again. This is also the purpose of writing this article today.

In the second half of 2022, I set myself a study fund of 2,000 yuan, specifically for paid study, just to meet a better self and others.
