Recently, I saw this sentence: you have to get at least one of these two things, material and spiritual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It makes sense.

From a materialist point of view, there must be at least materiality. From an idealist point of view, at least there must be spirit. If there is no material and spiritual life, it will really feel like life is completely meaningless.

Some people living in the world pay attention to material things and work hard for them, and some pay attention to spirit, so that they can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city to find the meaning of peace in their hearts.

In fact, there is not much comparison between material and spiritual, after all, it varies from person to person.

Everyone's heart supports different motivations, some are material, with material things there is everything, such as money, some are spiritual, everything can be lost, but the most important thing in the spiritual level cannot be without, such as love. Some are divided equally between material and spiritual, with matter but without spirit will feel without spirit, with spirit but without matter will feel without soul, such as feeling.

A sentimentalist like me, who reveals the supremacy of feeling, demands a balance between the material and the spiritual, oh no, the spiritual should have a little more weight than the material. And the existence of these two things, for me, is only in the service of my feelings. I'm right, okay, then these two things make sense.

At the corresponding material level, my spiritual level should also be raised in accordance with the improvement of the material level in due course, and I will neither go too far beyond the material level, nor will I accumulate below the material level. For example, when my income is only 1,000 yuan, I will only buy a few books to read, when my income reaches 2,000 yuan, I will give myself a small trip, when my income reaches 3,000 yuan, I will buy myself a bicycle and go for a ride when I have time, when my income reaches 4,000 yuan, I will buy myself an electronic piano and learn to play it and be happy, and when my income reaches 5,000 yuan, I will ......

In other words, the economic base determines the superstructure. I will adjust my level of spiritual enjoyment according to my material level. When it's time to enjoy, it's enjoyed. When it's time to save, it will save. And this degree depends on how I feel.

Because my feelings are more spiritual, material things (such as money) don't stay with me for long, unless someone comes into my life one day and takes care of them for me.

I spend the most time on the spiritual level, and it is also the most fulfilling, so the spiritual realm is constantly expanding and strengthening.

Perhaps, I got the spirit first. As for the material, it will take more time to get around it. Either way, at least both, I've got one or the other.

It feels a bit like a sentence in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Fu Long and Phoenix Chicks, two people get one, but the world can be safe." ”

At this time, I was a little emotional: I once wrote Dongdong with the heart of learning to write novels, but who knows, Dongdong writes and writes becomes writing memoirs, and memoirs become writing weekly notes, and weekly notes become writing and writing become writing diaries, and writing and writing diaries become writing experiences. Well, it's really a "talented" transformation to think about.

If two people get one, they can settle the world.

I have the spirit and can stabilize the mind.

Recently, I was reading a book called "Diligence", and in this book, I saw a word that was very new to me - half-life.

Half-life is the first concept in physics, which refers to the time it takes for half of the atomic nuclei in a radioactive element to decay, the shorter the half-life, the faster the decay, and the longer the half-life, the slower the decay. Later, many other disciplines also adopted the concept of half-life.

The book connects the word "half-life" to life, where we often focus only on the immediate benefit that an event brings to us, and ignore whether the benefit can be sustained and produce long-term effects.

For example, playing a game, the pleasure of playing a game is incomparable to many other things, but once stopped, the pleasure quickly fades, so some people will continue to play in order to seek this intense pleasure again. So playing a game is a high-yield, short-half-life event for most people.

By analogy, most things in life, study and work can be measured from these two perspectives, from which four types of events can be combined from these two perspectives:

High returns, long half-life events: finding true love, learning an effective thinking skill, etc.

High Yield, Short Half-Life Events: Spend an afternoon playing games, buy a piece of clothing that's trending in the season, etc.

Low returns, long half-life events: practice calligraphy for one hour, repeat one more set of skill exercises, etc.

Low-yield, short-half-life events: aimlessly swiping Weibo and WeChat, using social software to spy on strangers' privacy, etc.

Think about it, it seems that I do more short half-life events, that is, for the sake of momentary happiness, I consume more time that can do long half-life events.

But people are very strange, they don't know that it's wrong, but sometimes they still do it, they say it when they say they will change it, but after a while, they still say it, they know they can't do it, they still do it.

So, looking at the explanation of "half-life", although I understand, I don't have much turmoil in my heart.

After that, when I saw the explanation of the long half-life event in the book, I had a feeling!

The benefits of a long half-life can be cumulative and additive, even if the visible benefit of each event is negligible, but as long as its half-life is long enough, this benefit can be passed on and become a small cornerstone of future success. For example, memorizing a word, although it may be forgotten in a few days, but when you recite the word a few days later, the foundation left by the first action is still there, and it can reduce the difficulty of reciting again.

It feels like that's in line with my motto "Nothing is in vain." "In the same direction. So, I love it!

Like, although I don't paint every day now, the drawing skills that I have slowly accumulated and implicitly improved in the process of painting still exist. So, even if you paint once a month, you feel that you can still make progress, even if the improvement is minimal.

The book also mentions an "executive incompetence", which means that I know it's important, but I just don't do it. For the majority of "procrastination", often the more important a thing seems, the greater the fear in the heart, the easier it is to procrastinate, and in the end nothing can be achieved.

This is also very common for me, and when I was abroad, every time I wanted to paint, I would struggle for a long time, not knowing which one to paint. In fact, I was afraid that I would not be able to draw well and be in a bad mood. The more this happens, the more reluctant I am to put pen to paper. So, there were many nights during that time when I thought I wanted to paint, and I didn't get a single picture.

The book says that try to do as little as possible "short half-life" things. This law implies two meanings:

1. It doesn't matter how high or low the value of the income is, as long as it is not a short half-life, as long as the income can be accumulated, just do it.

2. Don't just stare at those "high" things. Things that are not important or urgent can still be done as long as they are beneficial to you in the long run.

For some reason, after reading it, I always felt very sweet. It's like I'm doing something with a "long half-life".

Perhaps, it's just because "long half-life" is too similar to my motto!

Well, nothing is in vain.
