Chapter 120: Three Words as a Motto
Since the end of his sister's college entrance examination, Qi Jingtao, who has settled down, has been busy with his work. By the beginning of August, the project was progressing smoothly, the business was on track, and the frequency of BP calls was finally greatly reduced.
Finally relaxed. Qi Jingtao, who felt that time and money had become rich, was restless again, and sent notes to Lao Qi many times, hoping that the lazy old Qi could provide him with some information about the future, as well as guidance and suggestions on the direction of development, and the best one was to have a planning plan that was more ideal.
Lao Qi still didn't give too many replies. repeatedly sent notes urging him, but Lao Qi simply did not reply and waited in silence. In this regard, Qi Jingtao was helpless. He couldn't go to 2016 time and space to find Lao Qi's theory through the ring space, and his non-cooperation with Lao Qi could only be suppressed in his heart. Hehe, you can't curse, you can't curse yourself, right?
is no longer busy with work, and Qi Jingtao's life and rest have begun to become regular. At noon, I had lunch in the cafeteria and returned to Chunxi Community for lunch break as usual. Su Min and Xu Manli are still used to taking a lunch break in the dormitory of the printing house nearby, and the time is limited, so they don't toss back and forth when they walk, and they don't come back.
Qi Jingtao, who was lying on the bed, habitually observed the ring space, and found that in addition to the stock information that appeared regularly for more than ten days, something finally appeared in the public area that had been empty. Qi Jingtao, who was secretly happy in his heart, took it out and saw that it was actually three framed calligraphy works, which looked decent, and they could already be hung and displayed directly.
"Hehe, this old Qi, the handwriting is not good, why do you always like to get some calligraphy works out to play? Are you still afraid that you will not be able to write after a long time by typing on the keyboard every day?" Qi Jingtao teased Lao Qi's nonsensical personal hobby, took the three calligraphy works, got up and came to the desk, and watched them one by one.
The first calligraphy work is written: "Stick to the original intention". There is no author, no date, no message, no seal, and there are only four large characters in the book "Stick to the original intention" banner.
"The original intention, hehe, there are many people's original intentions, how can I stick to it? Also, what is my real original intention?" Looking at Lao Qi's framed decent calligraphy work, Qi Jingtao muttered to himself.
When he was a child, he always fantasized about being able to grow up quickly, to go anywhere he wanted, to do what he wanted, and not to be constrained and disciplined by adults all the time.
When he was in primary school, under the guidance of his teachers and the education of a correct outlook on life, he established a lofty ideal in life. At first, I wanted to be a great scientist, but I felt that it was great and sacred to put on a white coat and engage in inventions that he didn't know what they were.
Later, a war broke out with the Vietnamese on the border not far from Lijia. The Qiguan camp is on the main transportation route, and the national defense highway leading to the border of the Red River suddenly became busy, and it is common to see groups of military vehicles passing by the national defense highway behind the village, and often to see those PLA soldiers rushing to the front line. He thought that in the future, he could become a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army to defend the frontier and defend the motherland.
When he entered junior high school, he began to know that he wanted to become a university student. In the second year of junior high school, he was hospitalized due to his mother's illness. At that time, it was the busy farming season, and my father sent my mother to the hospital and went home to do the family's farm work, while my mother lived alone in the hospital for treatment. When Qi Jingtao went to the hospital with the second medical fee raised by his father, he learned that his mother, who had been hospitalized, had not received any treatment for two days because his father had just paid the medical expenses. Fortunately, my mother's illness is chronic, and it doesn't kill people. Even if the treatment is not good, it does not cause more serious consequences. At that time, he was so angry that he cried bitterly, very angry and powerless. He vowed that he would definitely get into the best medical university in the future and become a real doctor who saved lives in the future.
This realistic ideal of life has always supported him to study hard, and his academic performance is also among the best, and he has always stood out from the other four top students, who broke away from the level of Yunnan Central No. 3 Middle School and directly competed with the No. 1 Middle School No. 1 Group in Yunnan Central China. But before the college entrance examination, in order to save tuition fees and have excellent academic performance, he accepted the opportunity to go to university in the province and gave up his ideal and original intention of going to a medical university.
At that time, the other four top students all entered key prestigious universities with high scores, and two of them were squeezed into Tsinghua University and Peking University. Qi Jingtao was envious, but he didn't feel too much regret, and after graduating from college, he didn't think about taking the postgraduate examination, but immediately joined the work.
After working, he wanted to work hard, use what he had learned, keep this difficult job opportunity, and reduce the burden on his family.
How can your original aspirations and ideals become more and more realistic, more and more insignificant, and easier to change?
As the saying goes, the original intention is easy to obtain, but it is always difficult to keep. It is easy to establish the first beautiful dreams and great beliefs. However, the road to realizing dreams and sticking to beliefs is very bumpy and tortuous, and there are very few and difficult people who can always stick to their original intentions and start and finish well. Stick to the original intention consistently, such people have, very rare. There are a few of them, and their achievements are really great, very noble!
Thinking of this, Qi Jingtao smiled self-deprecatingly, and didn't think deeply about his current so-called original intention. Where does he still have any original intention to speak of, he put the banner "Stick to the original intention" on the table and unfolded the second calligraphy work.
The second calligraphy work is written: "Less is more", the same lonely four-character line book banner.
This old Qi is getting lazier and lazier, and if he wants to practice calligraphy, he writes a few more, how can he be like a Buddhist player? However, the concept of "less is more" seems to have been touched recently. By the way, the one I saw in Lao Qi's collection should be "Digital Survival" published by Hainan Publishing House in 1997, which was discussed in the book of Negroponty, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
"Digital Survival", a book that is slightly ahead of the times, after Qi Jingtao found it, he was very shocked that he was engaged in informatization work, and he took it out and read it carefully several times, and was deeply impressed and felt that he benefited a lot. He remembers that there was a small section in the book, and the title was - "Less is more".
The so-called "less is more", a simple summary, roughly means: when people pursue material things, they always want to be as powerful as possible, and the more they have, the better. But when you find that you take advantage of so many features, there are many things that you don't even use. In other words, those functions have nothing to do with you at all, what is the use of those functions that you occupy for nothing? You might as well give up what you don't need and leave what you need, and in the end it will improve your efficiency.
This idea was borrowed in the process of Qi Jingtao's program design, when he used the software terminal user rights management settings, he streamlined and blocked a large number of unrelated functional modules in Lao Qi's final version for users of different levels and business needs, and only retained the most necessary functional modules they needed.
Although from the perspective of the system interface, the system interface on the computer screen of those department leaders and managers just post seems very monotonous, without the slightest fancy. Many people feel that the application system developed by Qi Jingtao is too simple and does not have too much scientific and technological content.
However, for Qi Jingtao himself, he benefited a lot. After the system goes live, he also needs to be responsible for subsequent system maintenance tasks. Those useless and fancy things are gone, the failures caused by non-systematic errors in the process of a large number of system maintenance are naturally gone, and the probability of problems at the system terminal due to human factors has also been reduced, and he is much quieter.
When Lao Qi rolled out this system, he definitely didn't have time to read the book "Digital Survival", and his final version did not shield the functional modules, but only divided the user rights. Many large and comprehensive functions in the system appear on the system terminals of those leadership and management positions, which are completely self-seeking and too fancy.
However, in real life, one of the instincts of human beings is greed, who doesn't want to have as much as possible, who wants to throw away what was originally in their hands?
Those who have the ability, they see something, as long as they can get it in their own hands, try to take it in their own hands. Even if it is something that I can't use in my life, if I possess it, it's mine, and it can't be shared with others. More extremely, as some people have been criticized in the writings of the leaders – what is mine is mine, yours is mine'.
