The first article of the beginning of the year, chatter.
In the past two months, I am most satisfied with this article "Song Jiang's Midlife Crisis", I don't know why the number of readings is at the bottom recently.
I rarely have a mindset like "this is my painstaking work, why don't you watch it". As a middle-aged person, of course, it doesn't matter if you know whether you are working hard or not.
After all, I've seen too many vegetables work overtime and stay up late to write the ** as rotten as a piece of Xiang, neither humans nor machines can understand it, but he himself moved himself to a mess. The essence of this world still needs to be spoken by works, and no one really cares how specific works are produced. But I don't know why, this one is always a bit of a pity.
There are often readers who say, "Why do I only know you now, I like you so much", and I have mixed feelings every time I see it. Because I know that with the passage of time, most people will slowly change, and how much they like it today may be how insensitive they will be in the future. Maybe I changed at that time, maybe the readers changed, and slowly I didn't know each other, but I just hope that when the time comes, I won't post something like "how to write more and more".
This is not nonsense, I read the private message some time ago, and a reader only sent me two messages, one was sent in 2021, saying that it was "I really like you so much, I hate to see you late", and the other is at the end of 2023, and there is only one sentence, "The more I write, the more water I get, and I will be closed".
Dozens of messages before and after this message are similar to "see each other late", and it is estimated that in a few years, most people will leave in this way. Of course, maybe I'm making a fool of myself, maybe people have forgotten how to pay attention to such a blogger, and maybe the public account will be gone by then.
There is no way to do it, people always grow, as long as there is growth, the concept will change. For example, when they were in college, they were more emotional and idealistic, and after graduation, most people suffered heavy blows from life, and they would have a sense of disillusionment, and after having a family, they would pay more and more attention to life itself and let go of their obsession with grand narratives, and most people would change from radical to conservative, all of which would lead to changes in reading interests.
It is also possible that the author himself has changed, slowly drifting away. In the end, it evolved into "every meeting is for parting".
In addition, I have to say that the current *** is already a river, and the rise of ** is not a decisive destruction of Changwen, but it has basically irreversibly changed the entire ecology.
*, especially short**, has an impact on the public not only to make everyone more addictive, but more importantly, to change everyone's reading habits.
If you often brush short**, you should be able to realize that after brushing for a long time, on the one hand, you will not be interested in bland content, and on the other hand, it will become very difficult to focus on one thing for a long time.
This also makes the public account owners lament the decline of the river every day like civil engineering buddies over the years. I realized the problem last year, and I have already gone to Douyin, Station B, and Toutiao**, and now the articles are generally read by hundreds of thousands of people, and they basically start with millions.
Many friends suggested that I don't post ***, because I first posted the article to affect the **traffic, and concentrate on Douyin, station b and headlines**, but I still decided to write it.
In a bunch of ** accounts, the most enthusiastic and top ones are still ***, although every one of us bloggers knows that we are probably the last to send *** to the end. **There is a high probability that it will be "Douban" and finally become a niche platform. But even if it becomes Douban, as long as it doesn't become the end of the world, I will keep writing.
My mentor told me a long time ago that if you keep not studying, you will become more and more convinced of what you believe.
On the other hand, as long as you keep learning, instead of continuing to indulge in the theoretical system of the past, your existing ideas will basically continue to fine-tune, and slowly it will be very different from a few years ago, and the previous readers will gradually drift away.
There is no way to do it, everyone is a traveling companion in the journey for others, even if the child is for his parents, it is more than ten years of staying, and when the child grows up, he will slowly go farther and farther. This is true for my own children, let alone readers.
Speaking of reading, I remembered an incident a few years ago.
At that time, a reader kept sharing my article experience on Weibo, and one day said that "the god of the nine sides is so awesome, I read two pages of a book every day".
I don't know who fished it out, and then carried out a group ridicule, and it was transferred more than 20,000 times, and a bunch of people said that the threshold of the current god is really low, and it is worth saying that it is worth reading two pages a day? Later, the girl may not have been on Weibo for a few days, and she was taken aback after logging in, so she quickly deleted it.
I was amused too, but I didn't explain it. I still have to say today, many times the most difficult thing is actually to pick up the book, turn two pages, once you start to turn it, you may be able to read half a book in one breath if you have enough time.
It is precisely because we have been watching that the concept cannot remain the same forever. Sometimes I actually envy those who talk back and forth, they are the real successful people.
After all, it was concluded a long time ago that there is a very important reason why "sustainable growth" is so difficult, after a person or company is successful, it often stops doing the things that led to its success in the first place.
Most self-bloggers are the same, they can do it, maybe because they have mastered what traffic password at a certain stage, but the problem is that they will be disgusting if they say it too many times.
And writing itself is very powerful in shaping people. A game blogger can do five years without any change in his concept, but it is very difficult for a text blogger to maintain long-term consistency, because what you write is also subtly changing you, slowly drifting away from your previous self.
If you want to avoid this kind of thing, generally speaking, the best way is to "commercialize", the original author will stop writing after a few years, recruit a few writers to continue to write according to the traffic password, and if they violate the traffic password, they will be driven away and replaced, so as to maintain the original tone.
That is, to maintain a stationary state by dynamic adjustment.
Tang San, who has done the best in this business, is known for insisting on not growing, and has been outputting homogeneous content for decades, but has long occupied a piece of his own ecological niche. I don't mean to ridicule this, after all, what reason is there to mock a billionaire who has long since achieved financial freedom?
It can be seen that it is valuable for a person to keep progressing, but it is also a kind of wisdom to stay where he is.
In 2024, I plan to continue to talk about knowledge and growth. After all, I'm now middle-aged and need to prepare a parachute for myself.
I'm often in a strange state now, on the one hand, I feel that I've been in the company for so long, and my level is not low, I shouldn't be kicked out.
On the other hand, I often witness people at the same level going out because of various things, and it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad. Especially sometimes when I take a taxi and get that kind of million-dollar luxury car to do Didi, I know that I was also managed by a large factory before, and I feel that this is another way for me, or sooner or later, it will happen to me.
Therefore, the most helpless thing for adults is that they still have to do what they should do, they still have to take business orders, and W also has to be drawn. I won't praise the business order after receiving it, and everyone will understand it.
I can't say what happened this year, it's a bit like a "bend", and now that I've entered the bend, I have to go through the bend to know what is going on. Last year, the "one million per capita" CICC finally made ten mistakes and nine and a half mistakes, you know how outrageous this kind of thing is.
It is precisely because of the inability to see clearly that the "master" has become a key track in the past two years. Remember the master I talked about some time ago who graduated from 985, don't you? Does Destiny Really Exist? He said that he took a lead in the industry a year or two earlier, and in the past two years, their industry has ushered in a big explosion.
When they are anxious, they want to ask the master, and the master has to give them a psychological massage. But generally speaking, the masters have their own routines, they will not say that you are not capable or your brain is too poor, they will only say that you are too old, the nobles are blocked, and the villains are doing trouble. Let you let go of your obsessions, and instead of reflecting on yourself, it is better to find other people's problems.
Everyone was anxious, and the temple economy and the master industry flourished.
I understand that the next most important thing is the bottom-line thinking, when doing something, the first thing to think about should not be "to become a soaring star to the peak of life", it should be "what will happen if you can't do it".
The most people in the past two years can be understood as "anxious investment", maybe the past few years have been smooth sailing and made some money, the old road is not working, lying flat and unwilling, want to rush another wave of financial freedom, and then fall down, at least to be a Didi driver, or to be on the list of old men.
Anyway, insurance first, don't pick up coins at high speeds, and don't take those unacceptable risks.
We often talk about the word "overtaking in corners", in reality, old drivers drive, but rarely toss around in corners, which is too dangerous. After opening once, I understand that it is easy to have a big incident because you can't see the situation on the other side, and you can gamble when the situation is unclear, but you must not bet on your net worth, there have been too many such tragedies in the past two years.
It is best to "invest time and not money", for example, you can spend time to do it, but don't spend money to invest in the company, if you have to invest, be sure not to hurt your bones.
Some young friends asked me how to choose, and I didn't understand it. However, my attitude has always been the same, when I was young, the biggest capital was time, and it was the same to spend time in a small place in my hometown, or to a first-tier city, or even to go abroad, anyway, ten years have passed in a flash.
I often think of walking out of school more than ten years ago and feeling like it was yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, I am now old-fashioned. But if I had to start again a hundred times, I would not hesitate to go to the front line, at least to a big city, not to get ahead, but to see the bigger world.
As for buying a house or something, that can't be **, almost all people can't afford to buy a house in a big city with a salary that has just graduated, but in the end the house is still sold to these people.
Human development itself is the result of the entanglement of ability and luck, both of which have to be tried in a larger space to know. Haven't you been talking about the "grass platform team" these two days, I have indeed witnessed too many people who are not worthy of virtue over the years, and they don't understand fart but are in a high position.
This also means that in many cases, people's development may be "you can do it", and people still have to believe in luck.
In addition, you must take care of your body, otherwise you will know how terrible it is to stay in the hospital once, it costs money, people and time, and there is a rumor in the hospital that if you are hospitalized once because of something, sooner or later you will go in again because of this matter, and there is a high probability of dying from this disease in the future.
If you want to do something big, then you have to be in very good health, I have observed those amazing people over the years, not to mention anything else, you can beat 99% of people in terms of energy. It's not easy to get tired, not to get sick, we may think that people can endure hardship, but in fact, people may not feel bitter at all, just like I think that other people's bench press 150 kg must be very difficult, in fact, people don't have to work hard at all.
The biggest problem for most people in life is that their health is too poor, the energy bar is too short, and the energy gauge will be empty after a while, and then they will enter the irritability mode.
I think these can be used as the bottom line in 2024, invest more time, invest less money, exercise more and eat less calories, and the situation will be clear after this year.
