Hello everyone, my name is Yan Mo.
On the first day of 2023, the crab claw beside the desk has already bloomed many flowers. In this cold winter, its flowering period has arrived as promised.
was sitting at the desk in the afternoon, reading "Cognitive Awakening" by teacher Zhou Ling. On the small speaker connected to the computer's Bluetooth, it seemed that there was still a trace of sunshine at noon.
When the second hand passes the zero point of No. 1, 2023 will arrive as scheduled. This year, my work has ushered in a new change, and my determination to start a side job has become stronger.
How to sum up your 2022?
Looking back on this year, I met some people, I was moved and stayed, and I tried to do a few things, such as reading notes in the circle of friends and checking in, daily planet updates, getting up early and self-discipline checking in camp...
Every time I try to do something, I create an opportunity for myself to get better. During the implementation process, some problems were gradually discovered.
If you treat your work like a thousand-meter race on a track and field, and you are full of passion and motivation at the beginning, you may be exhausted after two-thirds of the race.
But it is more like a marathon and requires long-term endurance. Stay patient, delays meeting , I have made them one of my keywords for 2023.
Teacher Zhou Ling mentioned in "Cognitive Awakening":
Lack of patience is human nature.
Many times, the lack of patience for difficult things is because they cannot see the overall situation and do not know where they are, so they always use the short-sighted ruler of nature to measure everywhere, thinking that it is easy to accomplish something.
If you lack patience and are eager for success, you will easily get lost and the probability of giving up halfway will increase.
On the last day of 2022, I paid for several products for myself. 2023 will also be a year of continuing to learn. This time what I want to pursue is visible growth.
Maintain the ability to learn, think deeply, continue to act, and change slowly. The final result is to see the amount of change in yourself.
focuses on the inner level of change, rather than just immersing in the surface level of learning, to achieve the goals of each stage and make the results substantive.
Don’t shout lofty and empty slogans, but subdivide your goals into specific free time every day. When you gain more and more, I believe your patience and confidence will become stronger and stronger.
This year, I will pay more attention to cultivating abilities in these aspects: Focus on long-termism, establishing underlying logic, deliberate practice, staying patient, and delaying gratification.
Do things more based on rationality and love. You must also understand the development laws of things and execute them in an orderly manner. I believe you will gain something.
In "Cognitive Awakening", teacher Zhou Ling mentioned a rational tool-the compound interest curve.

The compound interest effect shows the general law of value accumulation: grows very slowly in the early stage, but will grow rapidly after reaching an inflection point.
Therefore, when doing something with long-term value, the early stage will be the stage when patience is most likely to lose, and it may also be very hard. After this stage, it is the beginning of growth and leaps.
is written at the back:
In 2023, there will still be great uncertainty in the environment we will face in the future, and it is still important to maintain a state of growth.
Keep working hard on the things you love, let your growth be traceable, pursue whatever you want, and don’t let opportunities slip away quietly due to repeated hesitations.
Learn to delay gratification, don’t always want to be fat in one bite, choose the right direction and move forward steadily.
There is a saying: People do not live a lifetime, a few years, months and days, but a few moments.
These moments will definitely be important nodes in life. What they bring may be opportunities for life transition. At least, they will make people truly feel the value and beauty of life.
