Hi, everyone, I am Black and White Porridge.

You know good people are always long-termists.

The economic crisis will indeed have an impact, but I believe that for outstanding people, it will be short-lived. After the crisis, there will be many people who will turn around.

It is unkind and optimistic for ordinary people to say that there is a chance of reconstruction only after a collapse.

There are also opportunities hidden in crises. The path of life is to be selected from various choices. Even if it may not be the right path for you at the time, it is the path you must take. Don’t think too much about the path you have to take, just choose your own direction and just work hard.

As a long-term social worker who has been affected by the epidemic, if there is an economic crisis, I will face it as follows:

I always tell people , I lived a satisfactory life in the first half of my life, and basically did not encounter anything that could completely break me down. Maybe it was because of my low pursuit of myself, so I always walked comfortably in my comfort zone.

As everyone has met, the income is certainly not high.

People on the Internet often criticize that people should not live in their comfort zone, but I think the comfort zone is right, and long-term growthism is also right. What is wrong is that if you envy others' high income in the comfort zone, you When I was growing up, I envied the ease of life of others.

This is the paradox.

If you also feel this way, I suggest you first judge what stage you are at.

Let’s talk about the comfort zone first.

? Comfort zone, also called psychological comfort zone, in this zone, everyone will feel comfortable, relaxed, stable, in control, and safe.

In practical applications, it is probably completely self-sufficient. Of course, there is a standard here, and this standard is not high.

According to my understanding, your current work and life can basically meet your daily needs, but you are not yet at the age where you can spend as much as you like on a 1,000 yuan item in the mall. I still don’t dare to buy the above-mentioned windbreaker, and I have to consider a one-year gym membership for a long time. However, if you don’t enjoy these, you will live a happy life.

But there are few people who don’t like to enjoy these.

Then the problem comes, you are now unable to achieve the life you want.

Then the pain arises spontaneously.

What’s worse is that you will always stay in the painful stage without thinking about how to break through yourself.

Because compared to physical pain, real mental pain is more torturous.

This stage is the growth stage.

Growth is accompanied by labor pains. This is a fact that you need to admit. Before you cannot accept it, you must first understand it and then treat it correctly.

Instead of constant contradictions and pain, it is better to have the courage to change yourself. It is painful no matter what, so why can't we develop in a better direction that can be met more easily?

Then, you need to make a long-term career plan.

Let me first talk about myself.

In the past five years, my life has been a relatively chaotic period as I said before. When I saw others writing about self-media, I wanted to write too, but I could never find a niche or a niche. A reason to persist. Moreover, there is no systematic operating mechanism. It relies entirely on subjective assumptions, and the articles written are relatively self-centered. Efforts that cannot find a direction are all in vain. You just moved yourself, but it failed to help you go further. This is completely a waste of time.

I started to attend classes and sign up for training classes (disclaimer, this is not a promotion course hahaha). Following the teacher, I can avoid many detours. Since then, I have truly completed the leap of writing and got on the right track step by step.

The purpose of talking about these personal experiences is to tell everyone this truth: hard work is important, but hard work without planning is in vain.

A person can go a short distance, but he may not be able to go a long way. A person's thinking is limited, but following others may also open the door to a new world for you.

After linking to a more awesome teacher, it’s a dead end.

I began to submit articles one by one, played many tubas one after another, and became familiar with the tonality of the tuba. After that, my writing income that year was far more than my regular job.

After I determined that writing was my future path, it was not enough to just submit articles. I also needed to understand the operating mechanism of Tuba, and I needed to go deep inside to understand how to go higher.

What to do? Decisively change jobs. Because I had accumulated a certain amount of experience in the early stage, it was easy to change jobs, and I successfully became an editor for a major company with millions of fans.

But this is still far from my goal.

Anyone who has been an editor and cares about personal development will understand what I am going to say next.

What kind of content you write will affect your personal values, because the content of the job operation account itself has limitations. If you write for a long time, you just change the material on the same topic. For People who have long wanted to make a living through writing may appear to be making progress, but in reality they are going backwards.

After understanding this, I began to force myself to try content that I was not very proficient in, step by step from shallow to deep.

In other words, force yourself to grow.

You have to remember that what can be easily accomplished can also be easily replaced.

Only if you continue to grow can you leave others behind.

I don’t know what the future will be like if I go this way, but I know that if I don’t go, there must be no future!

Summary tips:

In fact, people often get used to being in an environment and their thinking becomes solidified, making it difficult to discover their current situation. What should I do?

When you find that the people around you are always coming and going, and the things they talk about are often repeated, then you should be careful, because you are being solidified by the environment.

There is a way of thinking, also called environmental thinking. The essence is to understand the limitations of dimensions, so they cannot see the world outside their thinking.

But in fact, it is not difficult to break the stereotype of thinking and become a person with a "growth mindset". You only need to take the initiative to jump out of your comfort zone and expand into unfamiliar areas. All huge changes, In the beginning it was just an idea.

If you have an idea, plan it, make a plan, and implement it step by step, forcing yourself to grow.

?

As mentioned earlier, we need to make plans, so what we have to do in this part is planning.

Black Gold Shopkeeper After the cold start of the public account, I discussed the positioning with my partner Jin Shanshan, combined our respective advantages, and shared different content with you.

The general direction is for growth. In small branches, we can develop growth in many aspects, such as emotion, knowledge, logic, thinking, etc.

Because, we find that in this era, everyone urgently needs to grow.

We also hope that while exploring and sharing bit by bit, we can accelerate the iteration of our own thinking and go further.

We make very detailed plans, ranging from what we must complete every day, such as sharing useful information on Zhihu, to what our goals are for the year, such as how many young people with the same frequency we will attract. growing up.

If there is a general direction for guidance and a small plan for execution, everything will become clear. Although there is still a long way to go in the early stage, I believe that as long as you persist in doing this, you will always gain something.

Planning has many benefits. It can resolve confusion and eliminate idleness. Now I feel that every day is very fulfilling, even to the point where I feel like I don’t have enough time.

Of course, planning also requires skills.

Human energy is limited. The plan you make must be in line with your own situation and you cannot think about problems without thinking about reality.

You can learn to make a mind map and break down the plan into three parts:

1. Fragmented time

2. Concentrated sections Time

3. Rest time

Then use some useful time management apps. I recommend Tomato Todo, which is very useful. Every 25 minutes is a concentrated time period, and then You can rest for 5 minutes. If you give up voluntarily, Pomodoro will remind you, which can effectively improve your lack of concentration.

Each of us has to face all kinds of things, big and small, every day. We have to make decisions, make judgments, and solve problems. It is easy for our day to become chaotic, and it often happens that I I'm obviously very busy, but why do I still feel like I haven't accomplished anything at the end of the day?

To sum up, the events are not clarified one by one.

Therefore, it is recommended that when your independent control is not that strong, making a plan + matching tools can really help you develop good habits step by step.

There is a saying that goes like this, A person walks slowly, but a group of people walks far.

? I consider myself not a particularly self-disciplined person, and I often even find excuses to give up, because writing and sharing itself is also a test of patience, so someone must act together to increase the possibility of success. .

When I was a guest teacher at a training camp, I shared with the students more than once that on the way to writing, the first thing is to form a clique and find people with the same frequency to cheer together, cheer each other up, and learn from each other. support.

Because there are many difficulties on the road to starting a business. If there is someone standing side by side with you, you will feel that there is light in the darkness.

Because I have seen too many people give up midway, and I have also seen myself look like after giving up, so it is very important for you to choose a high-quality partner.

If you choose a good partner, you will make rapid progress; if you choose a wrong partner, the partnership will break up quickly.

An important factor in selecting a partner, apart from one’s own strength, is that one is a long-termist.

Jin Shanshan and I both practice long-termism when it comes to writing and sharing, and we both believe from the bottom of our hearts that writing is the most correct thing to do.

?

Then, after reaching an agreement, the next road may be much smoother.

I saw an example of Buffett writing this on the Internet:

Amazon CEO Bezos once talked to Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky about them** *The same idol as Buffett.

Chesky asked Bezos: "What do you think is the best advice Buffett has ever given you?"

Bezos said: "I once asked Buffett, you Your investment philosophy is very simple, why don't people just copy your approach?"

Buffett said: "Because no one wants to get rich slowly."

After I heard this. , very shocked, the shortcomings of people who want to rush to achieve results are revealed in one sentence.

The more eager you are for success, the more you will go in the wrong direction.

You know, even the stock god Buffett earned 99.8% of his assets after he was 50 years old.

Long-termists will put their interest lines farther away. Even if the line in front of them is broken, as long as the farther line can be linked together, it doesn’t matter. Small-scale mistakes will not matter. No matter what, losing on a large scale means gaining nothing.

A long-termist who is good at taking the long term and catching big fish.

Long-termists also need a core ability, which is to have a firm belief. Once you have a clear understanding and belief, you can set long-term goals based on this and move towards success step by step.

So, don’t rush for results at the beginning. When you accumulate to a certain level, good results will naturally follow you.

Actually, I have already mentioned that the purpose of establishing Black Gold Shopkeeper is to force myself to input and output. While bringing growth to everyone, I can also continue to grow and force myself to learn more things.

Because this epidemic has made many people understand that only if individuals are strong enough, they will not be easily abandoned by this society.

During the two months of staying at home, many people had no income. How to generate more "after-sleep income" has become a question that many people are thinking about.

In fact, there is no shortcut, just find your own strengths, set a firm direction, and work hard.

You have to keep learning and believe in lifelong learning.

Self-improvement is a weapon for long-term victory and is difficult to defeat.

I have been writing this article for a long time, and it contains some true feelings. I may or may not have useful information, because I am also sorting myself out and growing up.

If you feel it has been gained, I really hope you can give me a like, and by the way, follow this public account Black Gold Shopkeeper to show you the world and accompany you to grow up.

Because the account has just been launched, there is not much content to share at the moment, but I believe that in the future, more and more useful information, principles, thinking and other methodological summaries will be presented to everyone.

I know you may have just come to this conclusion after reading it to the end. It’s an article about promoting chicken blood, but I want to tell you that you haven’t been able to take action after reading so many articles about promoting chicken blood. Why should you read it?

If you look closely, the paths of successful people are mostly the same. Just keep fighting. When you want to give up, drink yourself a bowl of chicken soup.

Most of the experiences of successful people are very long. The reason why you think it is chicken soup is because if you had to cut out the core and tell it to you, it might take you a lifetime.

But successful people are also very busy. They are busy thinking about how to be more powerful. No one has time to chat with you here.
