Stop at the right time to walk more calmly

24 years old. Research it. Tuesday. No class for a day. Orangery Dormitory. Eating fruit cereal, where are the magical animals that I didn't read yesterday. A lot of ideas flashed through my mind. Not just the film, but the direction of life, what kind of life rhythm should I have. etc. Before Jacob was cast on forgetting magic, she reluctantly said to him: we can go somewhere. anywhere.

"There are many people like me in the world"

“no .there is only one like you”

Maybe it was because I was too distracted yesterday and was interrupted by various things. In addition to admiring the screenwriter's wide-open imagination, as a story, it doesn't impress me much. Until this dialogue appeared, it reminded me of him. Yeah, you won't believe that until that person shows up. There is always a person who makes us believe that only he is irreplaceable in the world. Da Jiang is that person in my life.

Also, I really admire the writer's imagination. Magic is unrealistic, but all dreams can be realized in movies. The exaggerated and even terrifying shapes of the animals, the superpowers that can change the size at will with the space, the kind and warm but distinct love and hate, are the biggest features of this movie.

As usual, at this time, I should be in the office. Look at the program code, listen to English listening, or restlessly in a daze. I stayed in the office on Saturday and Sunday, and frantically made ppts for Friday presentations. a bit tired. Just give yourself a morning off and have a good rest. Sort yourself out, sort out your mind.

I still remember that during the postgraduate entrance examination for World War II, I could watch movies all day on Saturdays. In those days when I only had dreams to support, no friends to talk to, and no shoulders to lean on, it was the movie that accompanied me all the time. Without them, I wouldn't be able to cross that hurdle. At that time, I was also trying to find my own rhythm. My biggest problem is that I can't relax myself completely. Even if my body is on vacation, I'm still thinking about work. This will leave me in a state of fatigue for a long time. There is no creativity in work, and in interpersonal communication, it is superficial.

When ineffective, you should stop. This is a great opportunity to think. Be willing to take the time to relax completely. Even if you don't study all morning, you won't lose much. To stop is to find the right direction and go further.

I know myself. The more busy you are and the more you are in a hurry, the more you have to remind yourself to slow down. My abilities are limited, and I am prone to stress and anxiety. I have tried a lot, and when there is no significant improvement, don’t force yourself to be naturally good at dealing with stress. So, I try to avoid this situation as much as possible. First of all, you have to correct your mentality and don’t want the best in everything. I want to be the best in everything, I want too much, theoretically my energy is limited, and I am destined to not be able to do everything. So, do at most two things at a time. Second, even if you don't do it well, don't blame yourself too much, doubt yourself, and self-blame is more harmful than you think. The frustration it brings to you makes you afraid to try new things, set foot in new fields, and lose the possibility of developing a new self. Even if you don't do one thing well, it doesn't mean you are bad. The result is not a single reason why you think you are weak. It may have multiple reasons. For example, the unintentional interruption of others, you overestimated your existing ability, inexperience, etc. A lot of things can't be done, which is actually normal. Most importantly, don't give up hope to keep trying. Keep trying and you will always succeed. Things that take me a long time and continuous effort to get, such as expressing myself fluently in English, improving professional skills, improving writing skills, high-quality intimacy, developing a good way of thinking, efficient and productive work patterns, A tasteful aesthetic, a delicate body and face, a broad horizon, a quiet and secure scholarly atmosphere, an open-minded attitude that is not humiliated, etc., can not be obtained overnight. Not even a year or two has improved much. However, once you get them, the benefits will last a lifetime.

The most important thing is to have patience and really calm down to do things. Don't worry too much about how much you will get in return when you should pay. It's like watching the ten years of submerged diving shared by the previous handsome. What I lack most is patience to do things.

Why get tired easily? Is it because of a deviation between expectations and results? If you haven't done one thing, you just want to become everyone, become famous, and so on. If you are too concerned about fame and fortune, you often get twice the result with half the effort. For example, if you like interior design, you start to imagine that you will become a top designer in the future, and your work will be admired by everyone. I like to write, so I began to fantasize about the level of writing, the writing is flying, and the name is forever. I like paper-cutting, and I began to imagine that I will become an artist in the future and carry forward Chinese culture. If I like English, I fantasize about giving a speech at the United Nations conference in the future, killing countless fans in seconds. But, that's really just my wishful thinking. Back to reality, apart from wasting the brain cells consumed by daydreaming and the time spent on grand plans in the morning, I am still the ordinary me who can no longer be ordinary. Unmoved. Just had a nice dream.

This is something I need to pay special attention to in the future. Don't be too utilitarian in doing things. Just do it if you like it, to what extent you can achieve it, and the unachievable goal only shows that the accumulation of skills is not enough. Just enjoy the process. This is the reality, although cruel, but if you want to understand it, you can be more practical and basically satisfied with things.

It doesn't really matter what I will do in the future. The important thing is that I try to always like the choices I make. I have chosen, and I should accept it, whether it is good or not. This is the beauty that I actively chose, and the cruelty that I should endure.
