A Young Man's Story

My father, who followed his mother to Guangzhou in 1984, used to live separately in the two places. However, when I was 5 years old, the primary school in the village refused to accept me, saying that a good talent would be ruined here. Therefore, when I went to primary school in Guangzhou, I told many things in the primary school in a joking way. It was basically a group portrait, depicting that It records the changes in history and observes society from a first-person perspective. Haha, it basically writes about the childhood life of the first-generation only child. All the stories are basically based on real events. I can't make them up. Firstly, the logic will be unreasonable. Secondly, the ability will not be perfect. There is an advantage in using realistic materials. The materials are endless and artistically processed to make them come alive, haha. It is basically funny, with annotations and analysis afterwards. It is based on my many years of studying economics, computer programming, analysis of personal experiences, and research on English teaching to elaborate on my personal views Using my first person and my primary school classmates in the 1980s, it is basically comprehensive, describing group portraits, imitating the writing style of Dream of Red Mansions, mainly telling each person's story, and reflecting their achievements after growing up.

The recommendation vote has been cast, the novice circle's commitment!

If a dog bites a person, it is because its IQ is not as high as yours. Of course you should not bite the dog. This is very simple, but you will also encounter garbage people in society, and conflicts will occur. What should you do? First consider the cost. The cost of communicating with strangers will be greater than that of acquaintances. Everyone does not understand, and there is no interest entanglement. To put it bluntly, it is a one-time game. Game theory is an important research tool in economics. It is called game in English. Theory, literally means game theory, everything is a game, and no one will interact with each other in the future anyway. One-time games are the worst types of games in game theory. They are usually zero-sum games, where you win or I win, just like gambling. Either you take away my money, or I take away your money, so it is easy to cause conflicts. We will not meet each other in the future, and we will buy and sell at once, so everyone is free to do it, so once there is a conflict, the consequences will be great and the interests will be seriously damaged, so try to avoid conflicts with strangers. Conflicts have no benefits and huge costs. Don't be unreasonable when encountering this kind of thing. If it's serious, go to the police. Stop the loss as quickly as possible for small things. In the same way, once a zero-sum game occurs, try to exit the stop-loss. Compared with a zero-sum game, it is a multiple game. Game theory emphasizes win-win, which means you and this person or unit have to go back and forth to do things repeatedly. In this way, you need to adopt strategies and use information asymmetric dynamic games. There is a Nash equilibrium point, which is the result. Information asymmetry means that everyone needs to communicate and understand to reduce misunderstandings caused by information asymmetry. To put it bluntly, it means eating, chatting and talking about relationships. Dynamic gaming means that your strategy is always based on the other party's strategy to make new strategies. The result is cooperation and betrayal. Remember to stop losses in time. Everything has risks. Consider costs and benefits. Once I had a phone call I didn't know how to cancel the deduction item, so I went to the phone company to ask. The person was very arrogant and said it was my responsibility. I wanted him to cancel the service, but he was refused, so I left without arguing. I went back the next day and calmly said that I wanted to cancel the account. The waiter I was very surprised and quickly called two managers. I was very calm and said I had no objection and just wanted to cancel the account. Later I changed the phone company and turned multiple games into one game and stopped the loss in time. I always consider costs and benefits when doing things. The biggest blow to the other party is not to argue with reason, because everyone's position is different and the benefits are different. When you can't measure it, you have to consider the cost of your own interests. Communication also costs. When the cost of communication is infinitely greater than the benefits, you have to choose to quit. This is the case with many things, haha.

Choosing a bank is very important. My main bank is ICBC. Why? It has a good attitude, especially for the elderly. Get a VIP, and the system is professional and easy to operate. There are basically no advertisements. When some banks confirm the amount, the first thing that comes out is advertisement. I don't know how to operate it. Swipe right to turn the page of advertisements, and swipe up to display the amount. Moreover, the touch panel is not sensitive. It took me a long time to touch it. I have been a programmer for 20 years and I have never seen such a poor system. Moreover, there is a time limit for the amount confirmation. Just count the seconds. You Are you asking me to read it or not? I haven't finished reading the words yet. When the time is up, I was scolded by the waiter. It's that simple. Can't two people do something? I'm speechless. What should I do? Haha, I just asked my mother to transfer the money to ICBC. I can't stand it. ICBC is rich. Hua's VIP room does not sell advertisements, otherwise the card will be deducted and the card will be sold to advertisements, and the card will not be returned. I am anxious, haha. I still recommend ICBC. It is best for the elderly. ICBC's system is perfect, haha. At least it does not count the seconds. Please confirm before signing.

Walking in a dirty alley, I picked up a half-section of a cigarette butt that someone had thrown away and took two puffs. It's not that I couldn't afford cigarettes. It was true that there was no place to buy cigarettes in this late night. I took two puffs and felt comfortable. It's not shameful when there is no one around, just like many people. People are corrupt as long as no one sees it. This is the greed of human nature. When no one sees it, we can do some dirty things in a high-sounding manner. We will still wear a suit and tie tomorrow and walk into the noble office building like a dog, into your small cubicle. There is your dignity here, there is your future, there are people you want to see and people you don't want to see, saying the same, tasteless jokes, looking out the window, the building, the building, just like your home, as solid as cement, as fragile as paper, is it your heart, I hear you The heartbeat, I just live, leave a seed, and continue to live. I have watched the movie called Alive. The feeling of picking up a cigarette butt. Life is so beautiful. I want to live forever. There is no reason. The cigarette butt I pick up is also a cigarette. I have a feeling, the feeling of being alive.

The red ocean is an industry with excessive competition, and the blue ocean is an industry with high barriers to entry or no solutions. This is easy to distinguish. The technology industry has basically become a red ocean, dominated by large companies, and it is difficult for individuals to enter because of high barriers to entry. There is excessive competition. Although English training has been available for many years, there is still no solution. Most of them rely on deception, such as solving speaking problems and solving overseas travel problems. However, no training institution dares to give you a guarantee and let you go every year. Improve 5,000 words, 50,000 words in 10 years, and you don't have to memorize words, haha. When I was in an English training school, foreign teachers often asked me how to memorize words. I said it's the same as you, memorizing while having fun. This is a very difficult problem. I can only teach based on my own learning experience. How did I learn from 1,000 words to 20,000 now? When I started listening to novels, I could only teach so far. Haha, you can only watch the food and eat.

The English learning method I created is just like cocktail therapy. Different methods are used at different stages. When you have 1,000 words, use the Rosetta Stone software to increase it to 4,000 to solve grammar and vocabulary problems. In fact, it is also a game software. Then you can watch Friends, The X-Files and its scripts, and increase the vocabulary to 10,000. Of course, you can also choose to play at this time Among the Nintendo 3ds English games, I highly recommend the Love and the Dragon Quest series. Of course, if you are high-level, you can read novels with synchronized voice and text on Kindle. You can also use Apple's audio-reading software to listen to and read novels at the same time. This way you can learn English all day long without any study. Although I am a slow learner, the study time is long and I am not tired. It is entertainment, haha.

Many opportunities in the workplace are reserved for students from famous schools, and they will be laughed at if they work hard. Usually students from famous schools do not need to work hard because they have many opportunities for promotion. I am an ordinary college student, and I have always believed that hard work plus genius will lead to success. So why do we worship students from famous schools? The fundamental reason is that we assume that students from famous schools selected by the college entrance examination must be geniuses, but are there so many geniuses? Geniuses should be very few, so what is wrong with ordinary people working hard? If a person discovers through hard work that he is a genius in something, but There is still no chance, because if you are not from a prestigious school, then there will be a strange circle where everyone does not work hard. If you do not work hard in a famous school, you will still have a chance, so just improve your interpersonal relationships. If you work hard in a non-prestigious school, there will be no chance, so why continue to work hard? It is a waste of time, haha. The final result is that everyone does not work hard to do research, and then there will be no garage business, so you can only plagiarize, imitate, and make short videos. But I am not willing to do it. I will still work hard. At least I feel that it is not a waste of time, so there is no chance.

When employees evaluated each other, some people gave me advice, saying that I was satisfied with the status quo at work and not enterprising, which is because I gave up programming. But what do you know, English training is the future. What I want is to be number one in China, not to write a few codes to dawdle, to invest my limited energy in important work, not to get that salary for promotion. A few dollars is so simple, why are so many people begging for mercy and desperate for promotions for a few hundred dollars? They just have no spine and can't study things. This is the wrong atmosphere. What's wrong with talking big words? Having lofty goals means not relying on reality. Haha, I am an unreliable person. I am a person who is still chasing dreams at the age of 40.

Tingyue is a software that you can watch and listen to at the same time. There are also annotations for words, which are divided into star ratings. I will introduce the classification of star ratings Collins Dictionary has a corpus of up to 250 million, and the most commonly used 14,600 words have been screened out from the corpus and marked with five stars. Among them, there are 680 words in five-star rating (the most commonly used words, followed step by step below), 1040 words in four-star rating (a total of 1720 words), 1580 words in three-star rating (a total of 3300 words), 3200 words in two-star rating (a total of 6500 words), and 8100 words in one-star rating (a total of 14600 words). According to the statistical results of the corpus, if you master the first 1720 words of five-star and four-star, you can read 75% of the English materials; if you master the 6500 words of five, four, three and two stars, you can read 90% of the English materials; if you master these 14600 words, you can understand 95% of any English material. In theory, there are only about 5 words that you don't know in any 100-word article. If you want to read foreign journals and most original books more smoothly, your vocabulary must reach at least 14,600. A direct consequence of a low vocabulary is that most of the time when reading is spent struggling with the meaning of new words, rather than understanding the meaning of the text or even appreciating the beauty of the language of the article.

Things that everyone thinks have a future are actually outdated, such as informatization. This kind of thing is only when programmers are running around the streets. Everyone thinks that informatization is coming. In fact, it is already outdated, because you have no chance to get in now, and your treatment is not good. It will be too high. I think English is the future. 50,000 Words seems impossible. Everyone is still working hard for 4,000 words or 6,000 words. They all think that 50,000 words is impossible. This is the market. If you succeed, you will be the winner. Enter the market before it is formed. Like 20 years ago, when everyone didn't know what programming was, I was doing this and I was very successful. But now, when programmers earn thousands of dollars, it's not impossible to talk about informatization, but you definitely won't make much money. You have to prepare for the future. People's IQs are not much different. The only difference is time. If you research more than ten years ahead of others, you will have an advantage. It's as simple as that. In many cases, it's just the cost of trial and error. It's very difficult to develop an atomic bomb when it's first developed, but as long as someone makes it, it's easy for others to follow suit. But it's no longer valuable. The time difference is all there.

Many people ask how many words are enough. I have made many statistics, such as Stephen King's novels. This writer's novels are well-known in the United States. It is said that its popularity is almost second only to the Bible. Almost every household has a copy, such as the familiar ones like The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption. There are more than 70 books in total. I have compiled the text of these 70-plus books into one file. , About 18 trillion, calculated using English vocabulary statistics software, about 100,000 words, this is reality. Of course, the average vocabulary is less than 20,000 words, so if your vocabulary does not reach 20,000, it is normal to not be able to read novels. I also did not understand popular novels until I reached 20,000. It is still difficult. For example, I cannot read Oliver Twist written by Dickens. You have to read the novel to have a good word coverage. Reaching 98%, that is, 300 words per page, you can only have 6 words you don't know. Vocabulary is very important. For example, the Harry Potter series has a vocabulary of 20,000, and it is still a youth book. Although an 8-year-old child in the United States cannot read, his vocabulary can reach 20,000, so he can understand the story. The reality is cruel, haha. Of course, you can start reading by reading comics and reading continuously. The sentences are not long, and the requirements on people are lower. It mainly satisfies the psychological effect and will not be too irritable. Too many words will not make it easy to give up. The comic I am reading now is the English version of One Step Divine Fist. It is very passionate and very interesting. You can go to readmng. Com to read it for free. Maybe the comic is a more reliable choice. I prefer the novel Three-Body Problem because it is down-to-earth.

English learning method is a science. To understand the division of labor between the hemispheres of the human brain, first of all, the human brain is divided into left and right hemispheres, half of which is logical thinking and half of which is image thinking. English belongs to logical thinking, and Chinese belongs to pictures, so it is image thinking. This is when memorizing words. English has one hemisphere, and Chinese There is another hemisphere. If the pons is too narrow, that is, the communication channel between the left and right brains is too narrow, it will be difficult to memorize words. Women are born with wider pons between the left and right brains, so it is easier than men. Of course, it is easiest for learners whose native language is Roman text, so they do not need to go through the pons. I am in one hemisphere, the logical thinking hemisphere, but I don't memorize words. Although I look up the words in the dictionary, I don't memorize them. It just facilitates the logical derivation of the meaning of words in articles and novels. It helps you understand articles. It is logical thinking in a strict sense, so I don't go through the pons. I listen to a lot of novels and novels. By reading, you can quickly master the words, understand the meaning of the words in the article through logical deduction, and assist in looking up the dictionary. It is the fastest way. In other words, it took me 5 years to increase my reading speed from 50 words per minute to normal English reading speed, 200 words per minute, and the word coverage rate is 98%, haha

Listening to novels to learn English is a great way to learn English, but the premise is that after using my learning method to increase the vocabulary to 20,000, you can use the read-aloud function of Kindle to listen and read novels. The words you don't know have been controlled within 2%, which is the so-called word coverage of 98%, which is the lowest level before you can read novels. Five years ago, I read novels at a speed of 60 words per minute, and I could read 10,000 words a day. Now I listen to novels, and my reading speed is 200 words per minute, and I read 50,000 words a day, so the faster I learn in the later stages, haha

We think about our own affairs as big as the sky, but afterwards we think they are trivial. It is such a contradiction. We have experienced the college entrance examination, the workplace, love, pain, and happiness, but afterward we feel that it is nothing, so we talk with the younger generations. People who have not experienced it listen attentively. It's like finding a treasure, haha, that's actually what it is. The aftertaste after the passion is so worth mentioning. It's just a hurdle. Once you pass it, you've passed it. I never imagined how full of hope, full of pain, and full of entanglements you would feel when you step forward. In fact, it's just that step. When you first enter the workplace, you are wandering. At the door of the leader's office, hesitating, silently thinking about the words you had been thinking about for several days, just for that small promotion that weighed you down like a mountain, you finally plucked up the courage, walked into the leader's office, and expressed your request for promotion. Maybe you would refuse it politely, maybe not. It's so quick, you take a step, and then there are just trivial things that can be used as talking points in your spare time. There is no big deal. Apart from being unable to live, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with just one step. The key is whether you have taken that step. It's all the same after that, haha.

Many people read articles about celebrity entrepreneurship and study how others started their own businesses. They burst into tears and felt excited, haha. I used to be one of them. I studied economics, consumer groups, and new entrepreneurial ideas. I was full of confidence and self-righteousness. Of course, I am not that stupid. I quit my job to start a business. I chose to try it out for free and set up a public account. I attract customers, make my own videos, and write my own articles. I have no fans at first and only have a few friends. I am forced to go to Baidu English. It claims to have more than 2 million users. There are many people posting every day asking how to learn words, so I just copy and paste the learning methods and experiences I have written. People say it is a fake post. If you do this kind of thing too much, you will offend some high-level users. Come and talk to me. My theory is that to learn English is to memorize words, and they say that I am a heresy, but I can't help it. I have just started, and I have just learned 1,000 words of 1,000 words, which is not convincing at all. Of course, fighting with others is also good, it can increase my score. In the end, it took half a year to change my Baidu account from level 1 to level 11, and I became a veteran. Haha, for the sake of publicity, I changed my official account If you write it in your personal profile, people who are interested will take a look. After all, this guy talks nonsense all day long, haha. Just like that, the number of users of the public account gradually increased. When it reached a few hundred, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I quit the forum. If you are interested, you can search on Baidu for the post of "Learn English without Memorizing Words". The account number is "Love Quotes". You should be able to see it on the second page, which is 2. The post in 2016, after I quit, I wrote chicken soup articles and learning experiences every day. In 2019, I opened an advertising business and started making teaching videos, English comics and English novels. There are many kinds of videos. Some videos cost 8 yuan, while some videos have no money. After several years of doing it, it only cost a few hundred yuan. I watch Lang Xianping's economics videos every day to understand the market and understand. What you think is good may not be accepted by others. You have to look at what others want. Watch the completion rate of the video every day. After a few minutes of watching, all the customers will leave. I will teach other comics, other novels, and also teach introductory English classes. But in the past five years, I have indeed become a lot, and my ability to analyze the market has also improved a lot. Now I have 1,080 fans, and I come here one or two every day. , And then leave for one or two, just struggling like this. Fortunately, I have a stable income from the company, otherwise it will be all over, so don't quit your job to start a business. If you want to try it, you can make a public account and a video account. Once you do it, you will know how difficult it is. Haha, give it a try without any loss. Recently, I plan to apply for a job in the computer department of our company. I hope I can be hired. It is to engage in industry Service market research requires all kinds of market knowledge and writing programs, statistical analysis of data, and it can also be considered luck. After these five years of training, I have a certain understanding of economics, game theory, markets, and consumer groups. I think sometimes people are forced to do it, and knowledge can only be learned by using it, so try new things more, maybe you will use them one day, that's all, haha

Another updated chapter

Another chapter has been updated, haha

The author is really amazing😰

I forgot whether I voted for you before going to work. I should have, but it doesn't matter. I will add it tomorrow. There are some suggestions left in the prologue and the first chapter. You can take a look at them and refer to them or laugh them off.

It's very interesting to read😜😜😜

Many times we have a lot of desires, want this and that, do this today, do that tomorrow, and the end result is nothing. Although I also have a lot of desires, I only do what I can, and many times, I will give up if I can't get something with my efforts, and never regret it, so there is nothing to regret. Some people say, I really want to go back to my childhood, I really want to go back to when I was studying. I never think so, I only like now, because the way I am now is the best version of me. Doing what you are good at is a great blessing in life. There is no need to wander or be confused. Cherish what you have in life, your wife, family, and friends. Think more about problems from the front and look for solutions instead of complaining. Everything has a reason. There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. Understand human nature and life. In fact, we read the books of the sages of the ancients. , We see what we should do to become a gentleman, but why, few people mention it. I think the answer can often be found in economics books. It clearly tells you that human nature is to pursue interests. Rational people assume that people must meet these two necessary conditions before we can study the group behavior of people in the market. Haha, if you love life, you must understand it.

Why should people study economics? Because economics is counter-intuitive. Everyone knows something. Of course, there is no need to learn it. The reason why economics is important is because everything in the world must be in line with economics. Therefore, many people are confused. After learning about benevolence, justice and morality, they hit a wall everywhere. How good they are to others. , There is no reward. For example, economics teaches you to quarrel, and you want to cooperate with someone. If the other person doesn't cooperate with you at first, what should you do? The next time he comes to you, you will reject him. Then the next time you ask him for help, he will have two choices, accept or reject. This game can go on forever. Only when there is profit can you persevere. For example, I learned programming at the age of 20 because the information department did not write software. I changed to English at the age of 28 because more and more people are programming. This will lead to a trend. Learning English is useful. English finally has its place. Don't do things that everyone does, because you can't do it. Others, you need to study methods to learn things. You can't just do what others do. Otherwise, they would have succeeded long ago. Then it's your turn to shear the sheep. If you want to do it, be the only one. Look for methods. Find a way to keep doing it for several hours and still be energetic. This is the method that suits you. You have to learn through play. The kind of desire that comes from the heart is not a competitive game for everyone, because one cannot be happy alone and relies on everyone's strength. It must not be fun, but a competitive spirit. Of course, competitiveness is a good thing, but you cannot be trapped in a small circle. If you want to do it, be the first in China. Hobby is such a thing, the more benefits you have. The bigger the ambition, the greater the ambition, because the assumption of economics is that people are profit-seeking, and people without merit are unreal people. Of course, the profit is not necessarily money, it can be reputation, status, but it must be something that you think about day and night, then you can make progress, haha Is it about utilitarianism? Economics teaches you to understand human nature, the nature of people and society.

Set sail with dreams Today is my political birthday. On September 20, 2012, I gloriously joined the Communist Party of China. This century-old political party has led China through the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War. For the happiness of the people, it has overcome difficulties and obstacles, and finally sought happiness for the vast number of people in the hot land of China. But she did not stop moving forward, and making people across the country rich became her new mission. Premier Zhou once said when he was studying that studying for the rise of China is the mission of every scholar and the dream of our Chinese sons and daughters. Keep the words of the great man in mind, but I don't want to just worship them, I want to put them into practice. In the course of my life, I also want to contribute to the rise of China. To make the country prosperous and the people strong is not just at the national level. As a member of the Communist Party, I also cherish this dream. The country is transforming and enterprises are transforming. The only way out is to take the high-tech path. One of the important tools of high technology is English. There are 900 million people in China learning English. They also desire national prosperity and personal development. English is a subject, required for programming and high technology. In order to solve this problem, I devoted myself to the research of English learning, hoping to add a boost to the prosperity of the country. The new way out and the new dream made me understand that personal development must be tied to the great ship of China's revitalization. After five years of teaching English, I have gained 1,800 students, including teachers, professors, soldiers, students, lawyers, and businessmen. They all have dreams. What makes me happy is that they have not given up working hard for their dreams. Although my strength is weak, I have big dreams and study for the rise of China

The latest chapter of "The Story of a Young Man", Chapter 77, talks about the state of flow. In fact, this state is also described in the movie "The Story of a Young Man". When a person enters a state of selflessness while doing something, he will enter this state

As a warrior, I can't get sand in my eyes. As a sand, I won't get in the eyes of greedy people.

In fact, I want to write a book that is not boring and contains some simple and practical knowledge of economics and finance. It is also a book that can be read from anywhere, or can be skipped to read. You can turn to it if you need that knowledge, haha, but it also has a main story.

😜 Mark, I have been to this place before
