1. A person's learning process is the process of establishing neural circuits.
Anything you learn goes through nerve cells and synapses, making connections.
The stronger the connection, the stronger the skills and the higher the proficiency.
In the 10,000-Hour Genius Theory, there is a concept mentioned: myelin.
Myelin, as an insulator, can wrap around the outer surface of nerve cell axons, learning the process of firing, so that the process of firing that establishes neural pathways, does not travel too much to dissipate.
In other words, the more and thicker this insulator, the less dissipation in the discharge process, and the more precise and skilled the whole learning process will be.
So, in a sense, our learning process is a process of building myelin.
This myelin has a characteristic, it is a soft substance, it is easy to lose, and it is easy to change itself.
Before the age of 50, this thing will constantly change, and it will be easy to connect with other nerve cells, and it will easily disappear.
Then this creates two scenarios:
For one, any of our skills can be acquired by building up myelin.
Second, once any skill is put down, the myelin will atrophy and become smaller, which will eventually cause the nerve firing process to dissipate too quickly, resulting in the eventual loss of skill.
In order to consolidate the skills we have acquired, we must keep repeating, practicing, and summarizing to ensure that the myelin is getting thicker and thicker.
Dr. George Batterx, a professor of neurology at UCLA, said
"Myelin is the key to communication, reading, learning skills, and becoming human. ”
Dr. Fields said
"In fact, all actions are the result of communication between chains of nerve fibers. ”
Therefore, only constant repetition, a lot of practice, and deliberate training are the core ways to improve one's ability.
2. Dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and other chemicals will make people feel happy, and they will allow us to enjoy this process in the process of doing things, and then increase the motivation to continue to do this.
However, there is also a difference between these chemicals.
Dopamine is a transmitter-type pleasure factor, which is short-lived, and will only continue to be secreted if you continue to do something pleasant, if you stop doing it, then you will stop secreting, and then you will no longer feel happy, but will have negative emotions such as emptiness, loneliness, boredom, and frustration.
For example, swiping your mobile phone, eating sweets, watching**, falling in love, talking about the mountains, drinking too much, smoking, drugs, sex, and so on.
Pleasure factors such as endorphins and serotonin are hormones that remain in the brain for a long time after secretion, which can ensure that people continue to be motivated to do this.
For example, solving a difficulty, running, writing, reading a difficult book, a profound problem, and so on.
With the solution of one difficulty after another, these hormones in the brain are secreted, and the person's sense of pleasure is very strong and long-lasting.
This is the core reason why we should strive to do a good job of self-improvement, not to indulge in short-term stimuli, and to focus more on what is really worthwhile.
Addiction to dopamine destroys a person, while indulging in endorphins will improve a person.
3. Each person is a unique individual, and productization is leverage.
It is a very great idea and point of view to let yourself use some means to achieve your unique self with the help of leverage, so that you can give full play to your personal value.
In the age of the internet, one of the best ways to value money is to write.
Writing is like putting a horn on the Internet, shouting two voices from time to time, and you can be seen by everyone.
The people we often come into contact with in our lives are actually only twenty or thirty, and if you have any ideas or opinions, at most we will tell them again, and it is impossible for more people to know their thoughts and opinions.
And writing is like a lever, magnifying this process many times, maybe allowing thousands, or even tens of thousands of people to see their ideas, and thus potentially meet some like-minded people.
Constantly writing and producing content will allow you to continue to use writing as a lever to spread your ideas to more people and enhance your own value, which is a very worthwhile thing.
However, the process of writing is not a linear process, and it is not a process of linear rewards, and it is not about how much you gain as much as you do.
More often than not, you're giving a lot and may not really get anything in earnings, keep in mind.
There is a distance between what you give and what you actually reciprocate.
Some people, after a period of hard work and hard work, because they can't see returns and benefits, growth and change, they begin to hang their heads, change their state full, and finally give up everything they insist on.
And some people do not forget their original intentions, always insist on doing what they think is right, of course, time will not disappoint his efforts, and finally gave him a good result.
People who have grown and been happy through writing know how to make the most of this distance, and in their opinion, all the hard work and dedication will definitely pay off, even if it is the experience of the whole process, it will make me feel that the journey of life is beautiful.
And people who can't persevere, because they only focus on the result, the process is painful, and they don't want to insist, and the final result is not better.
Over time, this cycle also changed his perception that many things in the world were useless, and eventually he became a fixed mindset and could no longer respond to any stimulus.
In fact, only when we correctly see the distance between stimulation and response can we truly grasp our own life and continue to see our own growth on the road of perseverance in the future.
