They will tell me that you should do this instead of that. This is very useful and helpful to you.
That's a waste of time. Don't do this. I took some suggestions seriously, and some suggestions were arbitrary in retrospect.
Many times, it is those so-called useless things that make me who I am now.
When I was in high school that year, I skipped a lot of self-study classes, owed a lot of homework, and spent a month devoting all my energy to preparing for the school debate. Many years later, the elders at home mentioned this matter. At that time, their comments on me were still light and heavy, and they thought that the job of students was to study hard, not to play a debate contest. In my opinion, a month's debate gave me the initial logical thinking and dialectical thinking ability when I was 16 years old, and then I continued to improve and strengthen it, which affected my life. This useless college entrance examination debate gave me logical thinking.
Also in high school, I read many extracurricular books and wrote many articles. The elders at home mentioned this matter, just like their views on the debate, regardless of weight, thinking that both extracurricular reading and writing should make way for the college entrance examination. If I don't spend my time on reading and my energy on writing, I will go to a better university. In my opinion, these extracurricular books and writing that affect my study have enabled me to accumulate more knowledge than my peers, broaden my horizons, improve my knowledge system and strengthen my ability to see things. Later, when I was looking for a job, my mother helped me apply for civil servants in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. I was almost unprepared and took the exam. As a result, I was admitted. Some people think I am awesome. In fact, those things in the civil service examination, that is, the knowledge of high school level, only spell logical thinking, reading speed and reading surface.
When I was still in the public security, the unit leader said that it was useless for you to write fitness science, and there was no scene in our public security. In the future, I will shift my focus, integrate your resources to do publicity for our public security, and write more about public security, which will also give play to your advantages. Later, I went to naked resignation from the civil service. I read books every day in Fuzhou and go for a walk when I have time. I am self-sufficient. Many people are willing to come from other provinces to learn fitness from me. Only by others' trust in my popular science articles.
Last year, a friend of mine wanted to do social marketing, and asked me how to realize it with so many followers on the Internet. I said I thought about it, but then I thought about it again. I'm not going to make money by online traffic. He asked me, what's the use of having so many followers? I said, it's no use. If I write these articles for the so-called "usefulness", my heart will be impure, so many people will not read my articles. It's just that they are willing to read my article. If someone reads it, I am willing to write it, which will help me. You can be selfish if you are not selfish. What you deliberately do, what you do to make money, is naturally not as good as what you do by interest. If you can do what you like and make money by the way, that's good. You see, now so many people in the fitness industry copy my articles, which is actually the reason. I wrote a fitness article online for free for three years. This useless thing will continue to write in the future. In the final analysis, it is your own achievements.
I have always had the habit of buying books, which cost thousands of dollars every year. Some books are bought without reading, some books will be read after buying, and some are read seriously. Before buying a book, I will read the catalogue, the introduction and the readers' comments before deciding whether to buy it or not. There are many books at home that I have bought, haven't read and won't read again. My family said that I wasted money and occupied my home space, and I also felt that these books were useless. But from another angle, these "useless" books are bought with those so-called "useful" books. Since you want to get rid of the "useless", don't even buy books at the beginning, but also get rid of the "useful" ones. There is a joke that a fool eats steamed stuffed buns and eats five, and the fool thinks, why don't I eat the fifth one? The first four are useless. Actually, it's a similar idea.
So I thought, can we distinguish between useful and useless things in life and study?
Tao Te Ching said: "Those who can live a hundred years because of heaven and earth are not born by themselves, so they can live forever. It is based on the sage's body and body first, and the body is outside. Not because of its selflessness? Therefore, it can be private. "
In retrospect, many useless things made me who I am now.
Even the smartest businessmen know that giving workers enough rest can make them work harder, create greater profits and develop more surplus value by themselves. Here, rest is to make money, and "useless" is to be useful.
It is rational and objective to strictly distinguish between "useful" and "useless" thinking, but it is often one-sided and superficial. As a subject, man is neither a machine nor a tool. He needs entertainment, recreation and rest. Life, study and work constitute a complete person. Giving time civilization and life should not be the other way around, should it?
Actually, life itself is useless. It is those useless things that make life a life.
This year, I found a job as a civil servant in naked resignation. I turned down the invitation of two investors and more than 20 fitness entrepreneurial teams, emptied Weibo, and began to learn how to live and do some so-called useless things.
Because I just learned that if you want to be useful, you need to be useless first.
