Chapter 148: Sublimation, Sublimation!
Chen Qiang's first speech was a great success!
Before the speech, all the teachers and students at the University of California, Los Angeles believed that Chen Qiang, a Chinese, could not speak anything meaningful at all. However, what they didn't expect was that what Chen Qiang talked about was a new topic that they had never heard of.
After the concept of "sub-health" was thrown out, it instantly fooled all the audience, and the content of sports and health that Chen Qiang talked about next surpassed the knowledge of this era.
Although in the thirties, people have long recognized that sports can keep people healthy, but no one has systematically summarized and organized this knowledge, and no one has devoted themselves to the study of the link between exercise and health.
So when Chen Qiang only systematically narrated this aspect, it was like breaking a layer of window paper, which gave the audience a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Before listening to Chen Qiang's speech, everyone was still vague about the relationship between sports and health, or just stayed on a simple description, but after listening to Chen Qiang's speech, every audience member was stunned, and their hearts couldn't help but exclaim, it turns out that there is such a close and complex relationship between sports and physical health!
Exercise and health is a topic that future scientists have been studying for decades, and almost every concept in this topic has been proven by facts and cases.
As for the concept of "sub-health", although everyone has never heard of it, after Chen Qiang's various foreshadowing, the audience has accepted this concept with conviction.
For example, many people have the symptoms that Chen Qiang said, but when they go to the hospital for examination, the doctor can't find any diseases, so it is very in line with what Chen Qiang said, the body cannot meet the standard of health, but the symptoms do not meet the clinical diagnostic standards of medical-related diseases. Isn't this what Chen Qiang called the "sub-healthy" state!
What's more, in the thirties, even high blood pressure was not considered a disease, and the diagnosis of other diseases was even more backward, and many diseases could not be diagnosed at all, and now they can be classified as "sub-healthy".
Under the podium, the president of the University of California, Los Angeles has realized that the content of Chen Qiang's speech is not simple at all, and the description of sports and health is not only novel, but also scientific when you think about it carefully, and there are many details that can be carefully studied.
The concept of "sub-health" can be used as a big topic for special research. And this kind of research project related to human health is also easy to get sponsorship. But everything related to physical health contains huge commercial interests, not to mention those pharmaceutical companies, just those rich and rich, in order to live a few more years, they are willing to spend astronomical sums.
The principal closed his eyes and carefully recalled what Chen Qiang said, he felt more and more that Chen Qiang should not have finished speaking, the content of his speech today sounded very novel, but after thinking about it carefully, it was just a drop in the water, and it did not touch the core key content at all.
"I haven't heard this speech, about sports and health, and sub-health, that Chinese should still have stock in his stomach!" Do you want him to talk about it again and make the content more detailed? The headmaster said secretly in his heart.
The principal felt that from an academic point of view, what Chen Qiang said today was worthy of another speech, and many details could be explored in more depth.
In the next second, the principal suddenly realized something: "This Chinese is a master of speech!" ”
As the president of the University of California, Los Angeles, he can be regarded as well-informed, but he was whetted by Chen Qiang's speech, and even hoped that Chen Qiang could continue to speak again, which shows that Chen Qiang's speech is definitely very attractive.
Just imagine that he, a highly knowledgeable and knowledgeable principal, feels that he is still unsatisfied and wants to listen to it again, and those university professors who are not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as the president, or those ordinary college students who are still in the learning stage, will inevitably be tempted by Chen Qiang's speech today, and they will definitely want to listen to Chen Qiang's speech again.
Demagoguery, this is an ability that only a great speaker has.
For example, the future president of the United States, each of them is a master of speech, they stand on the podium, and for half a day, the audience will boil and scream excitedly, not only voting for him, but also donating money to his campaign. I really don't even need to take the crutches, and I can fool the money purely by lip service.
As for what they say, it may be bragging about how awesome they are, it may be scolding their opponents for how bastards they are, it may be promising a lot of empty promises, or it may be pouring a big bowl of chicken soup for the soul, and there is even most of the nonsense in it. However, even if they talk nonsense, they can be demagogic, and no matter what people say, the audience will believe it, and this is the world's top speaker.
Chen Qiang's speech today, although far inferior to those American presidents, but with his excellent speech ability and new ideas beyond this era, it still aroused the audience's desire to listen again.
……
Chen Qiang's speech today, as analyzed by the president of the University of California, Los Angeles, is only a drop in the bucket, and does not touch the core key content at all.
Of course, Chen Qiang did this on purpose, and he also wanted to cast a long line to catch big fish.
In this speech, the University of California, Los Angeles only gave Chen Qiang a pitiful $20, which was like playing Hanako. Of course, Chen Qiang will not be satisfied with the $20 speech fee, so he has to whet everyone's appetite first and pave the way for the next speech.
Moreover, the content that Chen Qiang told is beyond this era and is fresh content that the audience has never heard, so Chen Qiang does not need to explain some core key content at all, just saying some superficial things can arouse everyone's curiosity.
Besides, if it is a new thing, if the core content is explained at the beginning, not many people will understand it. And if it is told step by step, then it will be much easier for the audience to understand.
The learning process of any new knowledge is like this, from easy to difficult, so that the interest in learning can be slowly cultivated.
……
After the speech, Chen Qiang did not leave immediately, because he had no way to leave, and those students who came to listen to the speech gathered around, and they had too many questions to ask Chen Qiang.
In addition to the students, several professors at the University of California, Los Angeles also mingled in the crowd, eager to ask very strong questions. Compared with the students, the professors have a deeper understanding of the content of Chen Qiang's speech, and this deeper understanding means more and more complex questions.
This is how to do learning, when you first come into contact with a certain field, you know a little skin, and you feel that Lao Tzu understands everything, but the more you know about this field, the more professional knowledge you master, the more questions you have, and the more you don't understand.
Chen Qiang could not answer everyone's questions, and after a few symbolic answers, he took his leave and left the podium, leaving behind a group of disappointed professors and students.
……
Louis Williams went to settle the $20 payment, and the principal walked up to Chen.
"Mr. Chen, your speech is really amazing, it makes me feel like I can't get enough of it." The headmaster spoke.
"Thank you for the exaggeration." Chen Qiang replied.
The principal didn't go around in circles, he said directly: "I can feel that the teachers and students of our school are very interested in Mr. Chen's speech, I don't know if Mr. Chen is interested, give another speech!" ”
"It is a great honor for me to give another lecture at your school." Chen Qiang smiled and nodded, but his voice changed, and he said: "But I have a lot of work to do recently, and preparing for a speech will cost me a lot of time and energy. ”
Chen Qiang is now an unemployed vagrant, how can he have "a lot of work to do", Chen Qiang said this is nothing more than to say that if he wants him to talk again, 20 US dollars is not enough, and he has to add more money.
The principal is also an old man, and when he heard the words "spend time and energy" and "work overtime at night", he already understood that Chen Qiang was asking for money!
With the quality of Chen Qiang's speech today, 20 US dollars will definitely not be heard, and the principal also knows the truth that you get what you pay for, so he said without hesitation: "Mr. Chen, if you are willing to give another speech, our school is willing to donate 100 US dollars from you to support you to continue to engage in the Olympic cause!" ”
"It's another donation, how can Americans play this game." Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
The cost of the speech has been increased from $20 to $100, which is barely enough to meet Chen Qiang's psychological expectations, after all, it is the period of the Great Depression, and it is not easy for everyone to make money, and $100 is almost a month's salary for an ordinary worker. Chen Qiang can earn a month's salary of an ordinary worker with a single speech, and he already feels very content.
So Chen Qiang said: "Thank you very much for your contribution to the Olympic cause, and I will definitely prepare the next speech carefully." ”
……
On the other side, Louis Williams also settled the $20 payment, and on the way back, he handed Chen Qiang $14 of it.
"Chen, what you said today is really good, I saw it in the audience, and those college students listened very seriously." Louis Williams spoke.
"Thanks for the compliment." Chen Qiang paused, and then said: "The president of the University of California, Los Angeles approached me just now, and he planned to let me give another lecture, and he was willing to pay me $100. ”
"You promised?" Louis Williamston looked a little nervous.
"Of course I agreed, I made $100 for a presentation, and I had no reason not to say yes." Chen Qiang said as he looked at Louis Williams, who looked like he wanted to say something.
"Luis, don't worry, I'll give 30% of the $100 as usual." Chen Qiang said.
"Chen, you're such a good person." Louis Williams let out a sigh of relief and sent Chen Qiang a good guy card by the way. Then he said: "But this time I didn't do anything, the $100 was negotiated between you and the president of the University of California, Los Angeles, and I shouldn't take your money." ”
"So then, you're going to have to work harder for me, help me reach out to other schools and see if there's anyone else who needs me to speak." Chen Qiang said.
A touched expression appeared on Louis-Williams' face, and he nodded earnestly: "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you find your next university!" ”
……
Thirty dollars was given to Louis Williams, Chen Qiang was still a little cautious, but considering that Louis Williams needed to help him find a place to give a speech next, the thirty dollars would be used as a bonus to motivate him to work! If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass, and Chen Qiang still understands this truth.
And when Chen Qiang talked to Louis Williams, he inadvertently heard that Louis Williams has four children to raise, and the pressure on life is not small, so Chen Qiang has some sympathy for Louis Williams in his heart. In this era of the Great Depression, it must have been very difficult for Louis Williams, an unknown painter, to make a living, and at least $30 could keep Louis-Williams' family from starving.
……
A day later, Chen Qiang returned to the University of California, Los Angeles for his second lecture.
This time, the auditorium was so full that many people couldn't find a seat and had to move their benches to find empty seats to sit down.
Chen Qiang stood on the podium and looked at the college students in the audience, Chen Qiang suddenly felt as if he had returned to his previous life when he was a university professor, and the temperament of a professor involuntarily exuded.
Then Chen Qiang began today's speech.
"Sub-health states are not only physiological, but also psychological, such as depressed mood, upset, restlessness, irritability, fear and timidity, memory loss, inability to concentrate, lack of energy, unresponsiveness, etc......."
In today's speech, Chen Qiang did not repeat yesterday's content, but brought forth the new, and further refined and upgraded yesterday's topic.
In the face of the new content, the audience was also fascinated, especially when Chen Qiang mentioned the psychological performance of "sub-health", the scene caused a small sensation.
"I have increased my knowledge, and it turns out that sub-health is not only physical, but also psychological."
"It makes sense, our body will produce diseases, so there will be sub-health manifestations in the body, and there will be diseases in the psyche, so there should also be sub-health manifestations in the psyche!"
"I've been upset and restless lately, and it turns out that my psychology has symptoms of sub-health!"
"I said why I have been inattentive in class lately, and I can't remember what the professor said, it seems that I am also sub-healthy now!"
"Fear and cowardice, isn't this exactly what I'm talking about, I haven't had the courage to confess to Mary!"
"You're not afraid and timid, you're unrequited love!"
Chen Qiang's description of psychological sub-health instantly resonated with these college students.
These college students are all young people, and they usually do some sports, so naturally they are well-fed and sleep soundly, and they will not have any symptoms of dizziness, headache, palpitations, chest tightness, and there are very few people who are constipated. Therefore, when it comes to physical sub-health performance, college students will feel very fresh, but they will not have any real experience of empathy, nor will they have psychological resonance.
But when it comes to psychological symptoms such as depressed mood and upset, these college students also have an experience, no one can smile like a flower every day, and everyone will always encounter some bad mood days. Young college students may not have experienced dizziness, headaches, or palpitations, but they have certainly experienced feeling down and upset, after all, everyone has a bad mood at times.
Memory loss and inability to concentrate are even more pain points for college students.
The main task of college students on weekdays is to study, but no matter who you are, there will definitely be occasional walking times during class, isn't this just a lack of concentration! And no one can guarantee that you can memorize all the content on the back of the book, and you can memorize all the content that the professor said, but if you can't remember it, does that mean that your memory is declining?
At this moment, countless scumbags finally found a reason for themselves, the reason why I didn't study well was not because I was stupid, not because I didn't work hard, but because I was "sub-healthy"!
……
The principal's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Qiang with a surprised expression.
He originally thought that Chen Qiang's speech was just a refinement and addition on the basis of the previous one, but the big framework should be the same as before, and there would not be any major changes.
However, Chen Qiang released a fresher topic, psychological sub-health!
In 1932, psychology had just moved from the period of early behaviorism to the period of new behaviorist theory. The psychology of early behaviorism originated from Pavlov's theory of conditioning, that is, the idea that psychology is linked to physiological conditioning. The new behaviorist theory, on the other hand, emphasizes the physiological and psychological states between an individual's behavior and response when stimulated. That is, in 1932, the psychologist who studied the theory of neo-behaviorism was the most advanced and at the forefront of psychology.
Chen Qiang's description of psychological sub-health is precisely the description of the individual's psychological state, isn't this the new behaviorist theory! This is the most advanced and cutting-edge research in psychology!
"My God, that Chinese can put forward the concept of 'sub-health', I was already very surprised, I did not expect that his research on 'sub-health' has reached this point, not only physiological research, even psychological research has been at the forefront of the world!"
Ordinary students may not be able to think of so much, but they can't bear the fact that the principal is knowledgeable, and this learned person is always easy to think more than others.
At this time, the principal felt that the last time Chen Qiang talked about physiological sub-health, he had already created a new topic, and now Chen Qiang has been involved in psychological sub-health, and directly sublimated the content of this topic by several grades! This is not only the study of the human body, but also the study of the human spirit!
The principal has already thrown himself into the five bodies that Chen Qiang admires, and at this time, he feels that he can witness the sublimation of a new topic, and the $100 speech fee is really too straightforward!
……
Chen Qiang ended his second speech, this time with more students in front of him. In the end, it was the principal who personally stepped forward to pull Chen Qiang out of the crowd.
After listening to the second speech, the principal still had the feeling that he had not touched the key content of the core. The principal felt that Chen Qiang should be able to go into more detail.
So the principal invited Chen Qiang for the second time.
"Your presentation is truly fantastic, I am blown away, and on behalf of the University of California, Los Angeles, I implore you to give a presentation!" The principal said earnestly.
"I am very touched by the enthusiasm of your teachers and students, and I certainly hope to communicate with your teachers and students again. It's just that I've been too busy lately......" Chen Qiang nagged the lines of time, energy and labor again.
Of course, the principal understood that Chen Qiang was raising the price, but thinking of what Chen Qiang said today, the principal instantly made up his mind.
"Mr. Chen, as long as you are willing to give another speech, our school is willing to donate 200 US dollars from you!" The headmaster spoke.
$200, which was about the monthly salary of an average university professor at that time. Of course, a well-known university professor will definitely earn a lot more.
In the United States in the twenties and thirties, the salary gap between university professors and skilled workers was not as large as in later generations, and of course this was mainly because of the high salaries of American workers at that time.
After World War I, the United States produced a large middle class, and this middle class was mainly workers. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it was the period of great industrial development in the United States, when skilled workers were a scarce resource in the United States, and the salary of an American worker could easily support a family, that is, the wife of a worker could be a full-time wife, and she could get a lot of nourishment without going to work. In the United States today, it is unlikely that a blue-collar worker's salary will nourish the family's life.
Therefore, the 200 US dollars for the presentation fee was already a very high salary, which was equivalent to the monthly salary of two workers at that time, which could make the two families worry about food and clothing. And Chen Qiang only needs to make a speech to earn so much.
He can get $200 for a speech, and Chen Qiang is already very satisfied.
Chen Qiang does not expect to be like those retired presidents in later generations, who can earn millions a year by speaking, he does not have that fame and influence, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is still there, as a Chinese, he is congenitally discriminated against in the United States, and he can have a speech fee of 200 US dollars, what else do you want!
So Chen Qiang agreed without hesitation.
And this time, Chen Qiang still agreed to give Louis Williams 30%. This left Louis-Williams grateful.
……
Chen's third lecture at the University of California, Los Angeles, was not in the university's auditorium, but in an open space outside the library.
Because there were so many people listening to the lecture, it was impossible to open in the auditorium, so it could only be outdoors.
The content of Chen Qiang's speech a few days ago has been sorted out with notes and circulated among the University of California, Los Angeles.
Chen Qianghan was on the outdoor podium, and there was a sea of people in front of him.
In the face of so many people, Chen Qiang did not feel the slightest nervousness, but had a sense of accomplishment.
The more people in front of the lecture, the happier they are and the more passionate they are about to give a lecture. If the students skip class, there are not many people in the classroom who listen to the class, and probably when the lecture is like a tired and paralyzed husky chasing a beautiful, there is no interest at all.
After some foreshadowing, Chen Qiang pulled the topic to "sub-health".
"Are any of you socially phobic? Feeling like you can't take on your social role? Or is it unable to handle interpersonal and family relationships normally? Difficulty in normal social interactions? These are all manifestations of 'sub-health'! I call this the 'sub-health state of social interaction'. ”
Chen Qiang's words once again resonated with the students.
Going to college in the United States is not only about improving your grades with books, but also about socializing in American universities, especially when you go to some prestigious schools, and your social circle is even more important than your academic performance. U.S. college students spend a lot of time each week socializing with their classmates. And in American universities, being a social expert is also very worshipped.
Since there is a lot of socializing, there will always be some social problems, there will always be people who can't handle interpersonal relationships, and there will always be people who hate socializing.
Chen Qiang's "sub-health state of social interaction" seems to be tailor-made for American college students, and it instantly speaks to the hearts of college students.
On the other side, the headmaster's face was already full of shock.
"In the sub-health state of social interaction, he has sublimated the 'sub-health' again! It's unbelievable, has his research on this 'sub-health' been so in-depth? From physiology, to psychology, to socialization, this is a completely systematic research! ”
The principal was shocked for most of the day, and suddenly remembered something.
"I've always had a bad relationship with my next-door neighbor, so I can't handle my relationship properly, right? It turns out that I am also in a sub-healthy state! By the way, a few days ago, my wife said that the next door neighbor's health is not as good as before, is he sick, should I take this opportunity to see him and ease the relationship with him! ”
This chapter is 7,000 words, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommendation ticket. Thank you for your support! By the way, many new book friends don't know that the starting point is charged according to the number of words, and the chapters that pass the customs are more expensive than others, mainly because of the number of words, others have two thousand words in a chapter, and it is easy to pass six or seven thousand, and when there are many words, ten thousand words, and several chapters on top of others.
