Year-end summary and planning in the New Year, usually in a job like this should be at the end of last year to do more reasonable, and no at that time to do the work, but today, because in the end of last year, received some impact on thinking, or inspired, always in a state of confusion and thinking, until recently gradually absorb some, I have a general understanding of my positioning and future goals.

In the past

20 years passed quickly, this feeling is particularly strong at the end of the year when my girlfriend laments that 20 years is really 19plus. At that time, she was stunned for a long time before she realized that 20 years had passed completely, and she felt vaguely that it was the continuation of 19 years, not 20 years.

In fact, a lot has happened in the past 20 years: the epidemic throughout the year, the surge of national pride and patriotism, the us presidential election as a joke, the craze of people buying funds…… But these things are too big, too far away, so when looking back, there will be a kind of illusion like a different age.

So this year, in their own side, and what happened?

Work, study, life, seems to do a lot of things, but in retrospect found that can only think of some failure experience – failed to read the source code, failed to adhere to the exercise, failed to pick up the guitar……

Why is that?

“Nine out of ten unpleasant things in life……” “It seems that you can rationalize failure by taking it for granted that failure is normal and alleviating feelings of guilt.

But if it did, the abyss would be close at hand — human nature is inert, like a falling boulder, which, if allowed to fall, will only accelerate its fall.

So figure out why it didn’t stick.

The source code

Last year, the first thing is to read the source code, to follow will buy video course vue2.6 the whole process of initialization, the diff algorithm such as the core part of the source code for a time, the course of time limit, the video did not fully cover the entire source code, even though the teacher at the end of the course recommend to read over the remaining part of the source code, the logic to comb again, But I stopped there and didn’t go any further.

Why is that?

Investigate its reason, only two words: fear of difficulty.

Although outside the course, I also read, sort out and summarize the source code in the course content, but ultimately just follow others’ ideas to go again.

For example, watching video, is equivalent to the teacher with my hand in hand down the source of ideas to walk again, and review this code, and foot is visible at the foot of the road, as long as along the footprint, step by step, can always go on, but on its own to read unfamiliar code, is equivalent to the dark at the moment, is not a problem ability can’t go forward, But in the heart of fear, dare not move.

So how do you solve this problem?

I think in my own, should seize a key point: fear, this is not a ability problem, but attitude problem.

Having identified the nature of the problem, the next step is to look at it objectively.

When reading the source code, will not appear to read the situation? I believe that will certainly appear, this time, can not belittle oneself, doubt their ability — born to know people may have, but I am not — how to meet a problem? Figure out what the problem is and try to fix it. If you can’t understand the code, you should sort out what you can understand around you first, guess and verify it based on the context. If you can’t do it, there are so many capable people out there. If you can’t understand the code, it’s not an attitude problem, but an ability problem.

A lot of reason, have no use?

If just listen to, without their own reflection, that no amount of truth is empty talk.

exercise

Exercise is so simple, but why is it so hard to exercise consistently?

It’s not the exercise that seems hard, it’s the persistence.

But when I play the game, I will stick to online every day, stick to finish every day, it is not difficult to do.

So why is it so hard to exercise?

At first I think that can stick to play the game, because happy online, do these things a day, there is reward mechanism, so that to stimulate the brain dopamine secreted at such a time, but later I found that in addition to keep playing games every day, I keep learning every day at the same time, it would not bring me any actual visible rewards, why can also unknowingly stick?

After a long time of reflection, I think the final reason is also two words: believe.

I don’t believe in exercise. I don’t believe exercise changes anything, exactly.

I can find a pile of data to try to convince yourself, tell yourself why want to exercise, exercise what benefits, deep down, however, I still think that even if they don’t exercise, also the disadvantages of not too big, and this is the final time planted the seeds of excuses: “very tired today, tomorrow to say again”, “don’t exercise a day doesn’t really matter.”… And so on, because I don’t believe in the benefits of exercise, or the disadvantages of not exercising.

I don’t think there is any way around this but to face it — the moment you doubt what you believe is the moment you need to persevere most.

practice

In fact, after thinking about this matter, I think it is better to put it down for the time being.

Why is that?

Because if you want to return to the level of guitar practice, you need to give up too many other things in life, and even if you return to that level, you can only as an amateur top player, there is no great significance, learning music is to add color to life, not to increase the burden. Even if you don’t practice the piano and just play with it occasionally, there’s nothing wrong with playing or singing. So why give up many other important and beautiful things in life for the sake of playing?

Maybe someday I’ll pick it up and practice it as hard as I can, but not now.

In the future

Today is the end of February 21, the resumption of work for a period of time, roughly restored state, so it should be their own this year set some flags.

With last year’s experience, this year’s planning to avoid false problems, must be able to do.

The flags (rather advice for yourself) are as follows:

  • Make a work and study plan for the month, week and day at the beginning of each month, week and day. (It may take some time to make a plan, but it’s worth it.)
  • Learn the ways of your friends. Keep a journal of your daily work. Make it a habit. (Review regularly to know what you did.)
  • Answer yourself 10 questions a day (tentatively, after a period of time to see if the number of 10 is appropriate), mainly work questions, but also other questions to think about.
  • Read at least one book a month. (Mainly technical books, can not understand, but must think carefully read)
  • Build your own body of knowledge, communicate with others, and don’t be insular.
  • Exercise at least 3 times a week.
  • Adhere to the fund investment.
