To My Foolish Self

[Awkward laugh] It took two months and I wrote 90,000 words. The creative process included joy and sadness. In short, there were all kinds of emotions. When I look back on this creative journey in a few years, I hope I won't have any regrets 😄

Suppose a person lives to 70 years old, which is 25,550 days. Assuming that his average daily expenditure is 100 yuan, then his life is worth 2.555 Million yuan. This means that he has been saddled with a debt of 2.555 Million yuan since the day he was born. He has to create equivalent value while he is alive, or reduce the quality of life and happiness level. I don't agree with the saying that successful people will always succeed and losers will always fail. Although it is always oppressing me like an unshakable mountain. What we gain, what we lose. And the so-called success belongs to us, and how to define them is our own right. Whether we are happy, kind, mature, wise, successful or not, we should not listen to what others say, we have to ask ourselves and our own hearts. 👍

When I was a child, I often didn't do my homework, and then I would get up in the middle of the night and sit by the window to catch up. I got impatient to write, so I started looking at the night sky in a daze. I looked at the moonlight and built a solar system in my mind. Then I placed the earth and the moon in what I thought were reasonable positions, and imagined that the sun's rays traveled a long distance, hit the moon, and then bounced into my eyes. I listened to the chirping of insects and imagined its body, imagining it hiding in the grass and flapping its wings. I thought about why the three primary colors are red, green and blue, imagined the "action" of sugar particles in water, and the picture of frictional motion at a microscopic level. I built the world bit by bit in my mind, and boldly speculated on the world with the meager and superficial thinking in my mind. A little older, my focus was on space and time, because I had just learned about Einstein's theory of relativity. I imagine a kind of time particle, which is generated from the void and then quickly integrated into the particles of matter, causing it to undergo a slight displacement on the axis of time. As I write this, I can't even recall the countless ridiculous and stupid fantasies I had. I only remember that I thought about it a lot and came up with a novel idea that could solve most of my confusion at the time, but I don't remember anything now. When I was in junior high school, I learned about too many theories of great scientists, but I couldn't understand many of them. As a result, the "world" I built in my mind had too many holes that were difficult to repair. Just when I was in high school, my teachers and parents asked me to improve my grades, so I began to give up my fantasy time to study English in my early forties. The three years of high school changed me subtly. My fantasy ceased, and the world I constructed in my mind became the knowledge required for the exam. I can't be in a daze, because being in a daze will miss the knowledge taught by the teacher in class, waste the time of memorizing vocabulary, and affect my performance in the exam. The college entrance examination is over, and my free time is back, but I am rarely as dazed as before. I used to be careless and spend my time in a daze. Now that I have grown up, I no longer spend my time in foolish fantasies. The boy who once dared to speculate about the world died, leaving behind me, a person who I once thought had no soul. I focused on my studies, my future, and other people's affairs. Now that I have grown up, I still miss the boy I used to be. I have always imagined that after I achieve economic freedom, I will build a small house in the countryside, farm, and see the scenery. Maybe the boy I once was can come back.

It's less like a web article and more like an essay. Let me read it carefully.

I don't want to say a thousand words, just a few words, I agree with you

There are argumentative essays and essays. The writing was very casual and brought out a lot of ideas. It's very casual. I hope the author doesn't give up and keeps writing. As you get older, you will definitely see things differently than you do now.

2025.2.25.17.00 The result of maximizing personal interests is minimizing collective interests. The result of maximizing collective interests is also the result of minimizing personal interests. I am happiest when I only consider my own gains and losses and don't mind sacrificing the interests of others. I am the happiest when I don't care about personal gains and losses, but worry about the gains and losses of collective interests. In the past, Chinese people were keen on making a fortune in silence when doing business. This is not a national quirk, but countless histories have proven that once a businessman is famous, it is difficult for him to end up well. Some of the views in the book are extreme, but overall it is a good book. It can be seen that the author is a calm and thoughtful person. It's a pretty good read. You can take a look. The above is an excerpt.

It is well written and makes me feel like I am reading published literature. I have not been born in society and have little social experience, but many of the author's thoughts in this book have given me great inspiration. Various viewpoints are usually something I have never seen, or have been ignored by me.

Not bad, not bad. I thought of many places.

I feel like I didn't post it on the right platform
