I once read the book "The Road to Wealth and Freedom" by Li Xiaolai, in which he told a story of his own: In order to get into teaching at New Oriental, I had to take the TOEFL and GRE exams and memorize more than 20,000 words - which sounded like a chore.

At first, I also thought: This is not something done by humans?

!

Then I spent an afternoon wondering: Can I give a significant meaning to memorizing words?

Soon I thought of one.

I passed the TOEFL and GRE exams, got high scores, and taught at New Oriental. It is said that my annual salary is one million - equivalent to 50 yuan per word. How cool!

I originally planned to memorize 50 words a day at the beginning, and then increase the amount after a period of adaptation.

But when I thought about this level, I immediately changed my mind - no, I want to make 5,000 yuan on the first day!

In the second month, I felt that "making 5,000 yuan a day" was not enough, so I started to try "making 10,000 yuan a day" - it was not too difficult!

He earned money there for seven years, giving lectures and writing books, equivalent to 175 yuan per word.

What he wants to tell readers is: The differences between people are often just caused by a difference in ideas, but the actual value difference is indeed the difference in the entire world.

One thought, one world - This is a very real truth and is not hypocritical at all.

Inspired by the story of Li Xiaolai.

I feel that I must attribute several significant meanings to my first book, The Path to Awareness.

1. The meaning given to practicing the little habit of reading and writing for 15 years. Ever since I discovered the good method Zhang Meng taught me, I set an alarm at 3-8 o'clock in the morning, and get up to read and write when I wake up.

After adopting the two-wheel drive of input and output, which mutually promotes cognitive evolution, I found that I can persist in this mini habit for a long time. I have persisted for more than 70 days now. I am generally excited, fulfilled, and full of hope.

.

If I can practice this mini habit for 15 years and read one book every three days, I can read 100 books in a year and 1,500 books in 15 years.

I very much hope that I can read more than 2,000 books in the rest of my life.

Because there are many role models, such as Yu Minhong, Zhang Meng, and Chairman Mao Zedong. They all have similar habits. They have read more than 1,000 books and are diligent in writing.

I saw a video in the afternoon. Chairman Mao's security guard said that Chairman Mao had more than 90,000 volumes of books and had read the Twenty-Four Histories nearly 60 times.

Reading, writing, and keeping diaries were also Zeng Guofan's habits.

I wish I had this habit, and I wish my children had this habit.

If you have this little habit of two-wheel drive of reading and writing, then publishing a book is an inevitable by-product.

If I reach the traditional retirement age in 15 years, I will probably have published at least 15 books and read more than 2,000 books.

Li Xiaolai said that seven years is a lifetime. I really want to try what kind of wonderful experience it would be to read and write for 15 consecutive years, that is, two consecutive lives.

I can't wait to experience it.

This is the meaning I gave to the 15 years of practicing the small habit of reading and writing in my first book in life, "The Road to Awareness."

2. The book "The Road to Awareness" is given the meaning of charity and public welfare. There is a book called "At the Turn of the Xiajiang River". The author Chen Xingjia, born in 1971, graduated from Tsinghua University with a master's degree. He has served as mayor of a town, county-level city and city

Chief, county party secretary and other positions.

In 2016, at the age of 45, he resigned from public office and established a charity fund.

Become a charity figure of the year.

This is what I want to do most after completing my family responsibilities and children's education responsibilities.

Go to charity, charity, and donation.

Yuan Liaofan said that a house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed.

I want to do one good deed every day and accumulate blessings for myself, my children, and my family.

This is my first instinct for personal survival. I want to gain both happiness and wisdom.

Since I practiced two issues of daily praise in December 2021, I write 100 words in a diary every day to praise myself and my family. I am always aware of the four relationships on the road of awareness in life. Starting from the third issue, I have become one of the founders.

, prepare to practice this matter for 150-200 issues.

There are 15 issues a year, and in 10-15 years there will be about 150-200 issues.

I use the ups and downs, the ups and downs, the ups and downs of my life in the past 40 years to tell you that if we ordinary people want to live a life of joy, prosperity, and beauty, we must embark on the path of awareness and appreciation.

Once you have constant awareness, you can help one person, and even help at least one adult and at least one child in the family.

Therefore, every future reader of "The Road to Awareness" and every friend who participates in our daily praise community has given me an opportunity to do good deeds.

And help me accumulate my ability to do charity in the future.

This is the meaning I give to this book to accumulate kindness and practice public welfare.
