Inspiration is fleeting like a meteor, so capture it in time.

And liking is the motivation to capture inspiration in time.

If you don't like it enough, even if it comes like a meteor shower, you will just see it as a beautiful encounter and enjoy it.

Of the inspirations I feel, the one I care about the most is the inspiration for the music, because it comes the fastest and flows the fastest. If you slow down for a few seconds, you may lose your flavor or disappear without a trace.

Halfway through washing my hair tonight, I suddenly had a flash of musical inspiration, it feels good, I like that melody, I want to capture it.

At that time, I still had a song on my phone, and if I didn't write it down in time, the melody in my inspiration would be messed up by the rhythm of the song, but it was difficult for me to write it down in time in the bathroom.

So, while humming the melody repeatedly, I quickly washed my hair, then turned off the song on my phone, turned on the recording, and hummed the melody to the end, and recorded it.

Well, in this way, the inspiration is captured.

It's easy to capture inspiration, but it's also a great way to indulge my inertia. Because I knew that the inspiration would not run, I would leave it in the recording file and wait until the day when I wanted to write a song, and then consider whether to use it.

So much so that some of the inspiration waited for more than half a year or a year, and it still didn't get me to write a song.

In other words, when I first started learning to write songs in college, I used the lyrics to write down the melody, and after memorizing it, the melody was likely to deviate, after all, I had no experience. And I don't know the notes, so I have to memorize the key of a word in my own way.

So what's my own way?

Well, to spell that word, and the tone represents the tune of the melody. Of course, this is only useful for me, after all, it is my own musical inspiration.

Therefore, the speed of writing songs at that time was relatively fast, after all, it was fresh, and I didn't feel lazy in my heart.

I thought that if I didn't know the notes, I could only write songs for myself like this.

However, I didn't expect my brain to adapt to memorization.

As long as I have a musical inspiration, add the lyrics I wrote, and sing them a few times, I can quickly remember them. There is no need to use pinyin to deepen the impression anymore, it is like evolution.

Later, I felt that it was not difficult to write songs like this, so I became lazy and wrote fewer and fewer songs.

It's not that you can't write, it's that you don't have the motivation to write.

It's easy to write songs, but it's hard to find soulmates.

My plan for myself at the beginning of 2016 was to write one song a week, and if I could stick to it, it would be more than 200 songs. Unfortunately, I can't.

In addition to being unmotivated, another reason is that I am too greedy!

In addition to writing one song, I also have to write 10 articles, draw 10 pictures, dance 5 dances, write 5 poems, excerpt 10 good poems, and read 70 pages of books.

Well, that's my greed.

I just imagined that if I had persevered all of this to this day, I couldn't imagine how strong I would be!

Again, the desire is too strong, but there is not enough strength to support it. In other words, there should be no strong self-control.

In the first week of the year, I did.

It's just that by the second week, it wasn't ideal.

By the third week, there were already a few that were empty.

At that time, what I could hold on to for a long time was writing and drawing, so the number of words in this book was only more than one million words, otherwise it might only be six or seven hundred thousand words now. Because of the persistence at that time, I painted almost 200 paintings, and my painting level was also improved.

It was not easy to persevere, and I was still working in Cambodia at the time, so I had to squeeze time out to complete it myself.

However, it is not enough.

These are far from what I wanted, so I didn't abandon the plan I gave myself at the beginning, and now I'm filling in the gaps.

If you promise to do it, it's better to do it.

Those who are untrustworthy to themselves will also be abandoned by themselves, and at that time, life will seem very sad.

It's a bit like the sentence "Come out and go, sooner or later you will have to pay it back"!

So, it's up to you to do it, and you have to do it well!

Pick up my bowl of medicine, well, do it first!
