Chapter 103: Three Pieces of Calligraphy
Since the end of his sister's college entrance examination, Qi Jingtao has been busy, tossing until early August, the project is progressing smoothly, the business is also on track, and the frequency of BP calls has finally been greatly reduced.
Finally relaxed. Qi Jingtao, who felt that he was rich in time and money, 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 and guidance on the direction of development.
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 through the ring space, and his non-cooperation with Lao Qi could only be suppressed in his heart. Hehe, you can't curse yourself, right?
At noon, I had lunch in the cafeteria and returned to Chunxi Community for lunch break as usual. Su Min and Xu Manli were still used to taking a lunch break in the dormitory of the printing house and did not come back.
Qi Jingtao, who was lying on the bed, habitually observed the space of the ring, and found that something finally appeared in the public area that had been empty for more than ten days.
"Hehe, this Lao Qi, the handwriting is not very good, why do you always like to get some calligraphy works? 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 ridiculed Lao Qi's nonsensical 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 four large characters in the book "Stick to the original intention" banner.
"The original intention, hehe, there are more people's original intentions, 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 wanted to grow up quickly, to be able to go wherever he wanted, to do what he wanted, and not to be constrained by adults.
When I was in elementary school, under the guidance of my teacher, I just wanted to be a great scientist, and I felt that it was great and sacred to put on a white coat and engage in inventions that he didn't know what he didn't know.
Later, when the war with the Vietnamese broke out on the border, my home was next to the main traffic artery, and it was not uncommon to see convoys of military vehicles passing by on the road behind the village. 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 knew that he wanted to become a college 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 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, his mother had not received any treatment for two days because the medical expenses had been paid. Fortunately, my mother's illness was chronic and would not have caused more serious consequences. At that time, he was very angry, and he vowed that he would definitely get into the best medical university in the future and become a doctor who saved lives in the future.
This ideal has always supported him to study hard, 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 the ideal of going to a medical university.
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 my original intentions and ideals become more and more realistic and smaller?
As the saying goes, the original intention is easy to obtain, but it is always difficult to keep. The initial beautiful dream and great belief are easy to establish, but the road to realizing the dream and sticking to the belief is very bumpy.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingtao smiled self-deprecatingly, didn't think deeply, and put the banner of "Stick to the Original Heart" 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, how can he be like a Buddhist fighter? However, the concept of "less is more" seems to have been touched recently. By the way, the book I saw in Lao Qi's collection should be "Digital Survival" published by HN Press in 1997, a book by MIT professor Negroponty.
"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 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'.
