4. Apprenticeship (1)
In his previous life, although Gao Ran had been destined to embark on the road of business in the future since he was born. But fortunately, she didn't have to worry about "money" since she was a child.
This gives her enough financial foundation to support her to expand her interests - as long as she has time and energy, she can do everything she is interested in and learn what she wants to learn......
Although, unfortunately, until she left that world, she still did not find the talent she might have in her many small and successful hobbies. However, she also practiced the "eighteen kinds of martial arts" - although she was not proficient, at least she learned it well.
The reason why Gao Ran is so obsessed with finding the talent that she may have existed in is because she has had a very deep-rooted idea since she was a child-she thinks that people should be divided into two main types: one kind of person, who is gifted from birth and can easily show his innate and extraordinary talent without much effort, while the other person, when he was born, his talent was hidden by God, and even, it was hidden deeply...... Therefore, in order to discover his talent, he can only explore little by little in the growth of the day after tomorrow, until he finally finds his own talent......
The experience of her previous life made Gao Ran feel that she should belong to the second type of person - she needed to be relentless in her search to be able to find her talent......
Fortunately, in her previous life, although she was not a genius, she was also smart. It also allows her to do it in all the areas she is interested in - if she is willing to put in the effort, she can learn well.
And Gao Ran in her previous life also created an "illusion" for others because of this - on the surface, she can be called "erudite and talented".
In addition to the compulsory subjects in school, Gao Ran also learned to play piano, violin, guitar, guzheng, flute, flute and other musical instruments;
She also studied drawing for a while, but she didn't go any further into painting that needed to be colored, such as oil painting—because she was only interested in "drawing" when it came to painting;
In addition to musical instruments and painting, Gao Ran also studied modern dance for several years in elementary school.
After that, dancing alone became an effective way for her to relieve stress, empty herself, or simply vent her feelings.
Speaking of dance, from the first time Gao Ran walked into the practice room, dance has always been just a language that allows her to communicate with herself.
From the time she learned to dance the first dance, no matter how many audiences there were around her, in her heart, she would always have only one audience - that is, herself.
Therefore, after learning dance for a few years, Gao Ran no longer continued to study, and he did not plan to go to a professional dance school to learn dance more professionally and systematically.
In Gao Ran's opinion, what she has learned now is enough--for communicating with herself and dancing only for herself, and now Cheng dù is enough!
What's more, in addition to dancing, she has many other hobbies. Gao Ran's interest in them is no less than "dance".
Moreover, compared to her never-ending hobbies, her energy is limited......
Therefore, after a little calculation in his heart, Gao Ran decisively ended his study in dance.
After that, Gao Ran only thought of dancing when her usual indifferent and cold self suddenly encountered the emotional shock of "richness"—so "rich" that she urgently needed to find a way to vent the fierce feelings that even she didn't know where they came from, but were constantly churning in her heart at the moment.
Only at such times will she devote herself to dancing. Sometimes she could even jump for hours at a time – until she was exhausted, and her heart became lighter.
Often only when this is the case, Gao Ran feels that it is really a beautiful thing to be able to dance and like to dance......
In addition to art, Gao Ran was also fascinated by the "Rubik's Cube" for a while.
There was a time when she even carried a Rubik's Cube with her every day, and when she was fine, she would spin around blindly......
And her addiction to the Rubik's Cube finally paid off: not only can she restore a third-order Rubik's Cube in 20 seconds, but she can also assemble a third-order Rubik's Cube by herself.
However, any outcome comes at a cost......
Before Gao Ran successfully assembled a third-order Rubik's Cube from parts, she had dismantled many Rubik's cubes that were originally intact. Moreover, there are many of them, all because she dismantled them too thoroughly, so that they could not be reassembled in the end......
Fortunately, after she was finally able to successfully assemble one, the other Rubik's cubes that she couldn't reload before were reloaded one by one by her as "real products" used to skillfully assemble the technology.
In addition to the Rubik's Cube, Gao Ran also has a special understanding of the production of some daily necessities that are often used in life: such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, paper, etc......
And the reason is just because Gao Ran subconsciously always worries that one day he will inexplicably go to a very backward place, or even almost no people...... Gao Ran was always worried that if she really went to such a place one day, there would definitely be nowhere to buy those daily necessities!
Thinking about it, Gao Ran had the idea of "learning to do it by yourself".
And with this thought, she really started to act.
It has been done many times, and a lot of raw materials have been wasted, and the final result is ......
Although the finished product may not really work, Gao Ran himself is still very satisfied!
She always comforts herself by saying, "I'm just getting familiar with the whole process now." The so-called one is raw and two are ripe. In the future, if I really need to make zuò myself...... I think I'll be very proficient if I practice it a few more times......"
For himself like in his previous life, Gao Ran used four words to describe his talent - broad but not refined.
Basically, whether it's liberal arts, science, art, or some niche hobbies such as "turning the Rubik's Cube", as long as you don't delve into too professional aspects, basically, as long as Gao Ran has learned, you generally can't pass her.
Gao Ran felt that she deserved the four words "broad but not refined".
In her previous life, "broad but not refined", in Gao Ran's view, was not so much a boast as a kind of irony of herself-because she had not been able to find her true talent until she died......
But in this world, Gao Ran is very glad that he is "broad but not refined".
Because she found that her "erudition but not refinement" might help her live a better life in the world - because she would know a lot, and no one else would either, and even they would not have heard of it!
Although Gao Ran regretted that she had "mistakenly" not learned more about Chinese medicine in her previous life, her regret was only for a short time, and she soon found a reason to comfort herself: "The medicinal materials and properties in this world are likely to be very different from my original world, and the organs, tissues and functions of the human body here may also be very different from my original world...... Maybe even the acupuncture points on the body are different! If so...... So what's the use of being good at Chinese medicine in the previous life?!When you come here, you don't have to start over?!"
Although I think this way in my heart, I also feel that I am not wrong to think this way.
But even if you think about it, even if the mind of this body seems to be much smarter than in your previous life, it is not necessarily really gifted in medicine......
At least so far, Gao Ran hasn't discovered what kind of talent she is so talented in this current head?!
At most, she just thinks that her current IQ should be one level higher than that of her previous life: if her IQ in her previous life was about "105-110", then her IQ in this life, she feels that it should be at least "130" or more - of course, this is also an intuitive judgment she came up with after comparing her current self with her previous life.
Although she knows that her IQ is not low, it does not mean that she is necessarily talented - at least for now, she has not discovered any special skills other than strong memory and understanding?!
Because he was not sure that he must have the talent to study medicine, in order to give himself more impression points in front of the future "master", Gao Ran began to think, "What can I do to make the 'master' impress me, and even better to accept me as a 'disciple' directly?!"
"Well......" While contemplating and meditating in the room alone, she kept drawing the structure of the Rubik's Cube on the white silk in her hand, planning to bring the diagram with her after the drawing was finished, and let Qiao'er take herself to the best local craftsman to make a Rubik's Cube for her according to her request.
Although she can do it herself, she thinks that at the beginning, she only wanted to try to assemble it out of interest, so she would be so tireless in exploring and assembling one ...... And now, she has long lost the interest she had at the beginning!
And now she suddenly wants a Rubik's cube again, and that's just so that when she is bored or thinking about things, she can use it to turn around casually and move her fingers - this is the most common habit of Gao Ran in her previous life when she was bored or thinking about things - she always likes to turn the Rubik's Cube in her hand and watch the rotation of the Rubik's Cube, but at the same time, she lets her head think about what it wants to think at will......
For Gao Ran, this way of thinking about things often opens up her originally depressed thoughts faster.
Although I don't know what the principle is, this method is really useful-especially when Gao Ran encounters a very difficult problem but can't open his mind.
Draw while thinking.
Although he has the body's original memory of writing and painting with a brush, Gao Ran is still a little unaccustomed to using a brush - I wonder if this is a psychological effect?!
However, no matter what, Gao Ran is still glad for the magic of the human body: even if it is a finger, it can have its own "memory" like the brain. What it used to do in the past, it will automatically "remember" the corresponding skills required to do those things, and retain the corresponding abilities - even if the body changes owners later, what it knew before will still be retained......
If it weren't for this, Gao Ran, who had never studied Chinese painting and calligraphy, and rarely even held a brush, how could she be so comfortable outlining the lines she wanted to draw with a brush?!
It is precisely because of this that even if Gao Ran is not used to it, if he does not look carefully, anyone who looks at her painting will still think that this is the painting made by the original owner of this body.
Gao Ran pouted a little depressedly, this "structure drawing" was almost finished, but she still hadn't come up with any good ideas!
"It's okay! Then I thought! Anyway, I'll only go to the academy in three days!" comforting himself like this, Gao Ran's mood was much better.
She smiled unconsciously, and followed Qiao'er out with a relaxed face.
It's just that, unlike her superficial lightness, her subconscious is still thinking, "How to please 'Master'?!"
