Chapter 9. Games and life
Writing a memoir requires a main thread. Come to think of it, I personally feel that there is nothing more suitable than a game as a main story.
In fact, if you think about it, there are many things to learn from games and life.
Let's start with the same.
I think the main thing in common is that games, like life, are all about making people happy.
No game is developed to make people miserable, and in the same way, we come to this world to be happy, in fact, this is the most fundamental thing about being a human being, but unfortunately many people forget it when they walk.
To this day, I still remember an article in a magazine to the effect that some students went back to see their teachers many years after graduation and told about the difficulties in their work and life. The teacher didn't say anything, but said that you have walked a long way, you are all thirsty, I have a cup in the cupboard, you can go and pour water and drink it yourself. So the students all went to pour water, and after all the students had poured water, the teacher said, "This is the answer to your question"!
The students were puzzled, and the teacher said, "You are thirsty and want to drink water, but I found that when each of you chooses cups in the cabinet, you choose those beautiful cups intentionally or unintentionally, and those ordinary cups are not selected at all." Each of you was thirsty and wanted to drink water at first, but as you walked, you went after a beautiful cup. Whether the cup is beautiful or not has nothing to do with the fact that you are thirsty and want to drink water, this is the source of your trouble. ”
Seeing this touched me so deeply that I still remember it after so many years, and it has become one of the three articles I remember the most. I think that we came to this world to pursue happiness, which is the most fundamental thing. But in the meantime, we are often influenced by something else, which makes us change our steps, or even change our direction entirely.
For example, as Uncle Da said in "The Wandering Earth", we used to like a thing called money.
In addition, there are many other things that can change our direction, power, beauty, other people's evaluations, diseases, and so on. We often put the cart before the horse, forget our original heart, and make people slaves to these things.
The game is very similar to the scene of life.,You have to fight monsters and upgrade a little bit.,Do tasks one by one.,Grow slowly from weak.,During the period, there are friends who slowly change from the strangers you meet by chance to talk about everything.,There is also a friend whose family has been tasked side by side suddenly goes offline and there is no news.,There are ordinary people who are generous when you pull the car when you urgently need silver.,There are also so-called friends who suddenly robbed the good things dropped by your boss when they killed monsters together......
Everything is no different from real life, it's a small society, and you have to get used to it slowly.
The first video game I played was when I was in junior high school, I went to the DQ City Youth Palace, where there was a fighter game.
I can still remember the game screen, which shows a small plane operated by a player, flying from left to right, with an enemy plane in front of it firing machine guns, and a cannon on the ground throwing shells upwards, and the small plane has to throw bombs and blow up the cannon on the ground while moving forward, and shoot the enemy plane in front of it.
It's this simple picture that no one is watching at all now that makes me, who always thought the game was an outdoor version, shocked.,Since then, it has become my Wushan.。
Now when you look at the beautiful airplane games like thunder and lightning, I think it's nothing more than that.
The similarity between game and life is perfectly reflected in the movie "Life is Beautiful". In the Nazi concentration camps, the father, in order to save his son from painful mental suffering, lied that it was a game and that if he completed one task after another and accumulated 1,000 points, he would win a tank. So, in this scene where it is impossible to distinguish between a game and a life, his children have been treating it as a game until they get on the tank that the Allies have liberated them! That scene of walking to the execution ground and not forgetting to make his son happy is still tearful years later.
Besides, games are not the same as life.
The fundamental difference is that games can be restarted, but life cannot.
In the journey game, I have built hundreds of trumpets, basically for cycling, and at the beginning because I don't know which number will be practiced, so under normal circumstances, it is to build a group of five numbers to task together, and when there is one that stands out, it becomes the main number (of course, I am a non-RMB player who only does, and people who have money directly build a number, and then use money to make a large number).
After playing for a while, I don't think it's interesting to go to the new district to rebuild the number again, and the number I'm playing now is the fourth or fifth number to build.
Obviously, life is not good.
We can't choose our background, we can't choose our IQ, we can't choose our parents, we can't choose a teacher who is patient and caring and we understand that kind of teacher to teach us, and we can't even choose Jobs, Bill. A partner like Gates......
You passively arrive at the table, with a deck of cards in hand. Some people are directly Wang Bang, some people are miserable, and more people are more than enough. But in any case, you have to finish the cards, and you can't stop playing like you don't like in the game, and you can't draw another hand.
Another obvious difference is that the game has a strategy, but the life does not.
When I was very young, I liked to copy aphorisms to make myself appear more cultured.
I've heard a famous saying that is often mentioned, to the effect that life is a long road, but there are only a few steps that matter.
At the time, it made sense, but in retrospect, we didn't know where the important place was, or where it was, but it was still unclear which way to go, and by the time we knew, it was basically a thing of the past.
At this time, many people think that the game is still good, and there are strategies for us to learn from.
I don't agree with this idea.
I remember 25 years ago, I drove the unit's car to run errands in the department store, that era was different from now, the drivers were basically full-time drivers, the unit had a small fleet, which department of people wanted to go to the car with the team, and then the team sent the car.
So it was extremely rare to have a department like our car that could drive by itself at that time, and of course, there are very few full-time drivers driving now, and they basically drive by themselves.
But there was hardly any such thing at the time.
Colleagues in the unit went up to work, and I waited below.
At this time, a man in his thirties (maybe in his 20s or maybe in his 40s, anyway, I can't tell how old I am so far), knocked on my car window, and started a conversation with me.
He said that he was a scholar and had seen something about me and wanted to talk to me. I'm staying fine, I just want to hear it (this habit of mine has been kept until now, even if I receive a call marked as a fraud, I will pick it up, let the other party finish, and even sometimes cooperate with the other party, Mrs. always said that I was idle, I told her that I was okay when I listened to the other party more, delayed time, he could make fewer calls, less chance of being deceived, so many times I was connected and threw aside to read the book by himself, and waited for him to hang up impatiently).
He said that he saw three things, the first of which was that I was not a driver. Because a lot of fortune tellers (I did think of him as a fortune teller at the time) are two-ended, and continue according to the expressions and words of the parties. So naturally I couldn't follow him, I said at the time that he was wrong, you see that the clothes I wear are also very ordinary (I have always disliked new clothes, this will be discussed in Chapter 8, Section 1), I still drive the car of the unit, waiting for the leader to go up and come back, how can I not be a driver.
I dug a hole for him at the time and asked him if you meant that I could not be a driver in the future.
He said with great certainty that you are not the driver.
And then we didn't dwell on this place, and he went on to say two other things: one is that there is something wrong with your marriage, and it's a big problem. The other is that you have a chance to be promoted now, but there is a hurdle that you may not be able to pass. Next is the old routine, which he can crack.
Aside from the first one, both of these things he said are important things that I'm going through right now.
When people encounter this situation, they ask for money, and then they break the money and let the other party crack it for peace of mind.
And according to his tone, he may not need money, because he is a scholar and is practicing.
But I'm serious with him, I believe what you said is right, and I believe you, but I'm different from others, I like to play games, I think the game is the same as life, the attraction lies in its uncertainty, this kind of exploration and struggle and then get success even if the last failure brings happiness and worry is the biggest charm of the game, life is the same, if you tell me when to be born, when to get married, when to get rich, when to get sick, when to hang up, Then it's not interesting to live like this, so I'm still willing to explore it myself, thank you for your kindness!
It's basically the same words, with little change.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because it didn't take long for everything he said to come true.
I think it's a pity.
It's a pity that he didn't let him break, but he didn't leave his contact information and make friends. And most importantly, I want to tell him that he's right. But at the same time, I will also tell him that even if history repeats itself, I will still choose this way, and I will say what I said to him back then, and I will choose not to break it again.
As Chen Anzhi said: "If you don't get what I want, you will get better"!
In any case, some of Chen Anzhi's books and some of the words he said are very reasonable, and they are particularly reasonable.
Because I did get better!
I still believe that every step in life is not for nothing, but for the sake of achieving what you can achieve in this life (even if the goal you have worked hard to achieve in your life is only the starting point for others, but it is a success for you), including the wrong path, the detour, the turning back and the right path.
In the same way, I have always believed that it is not enough for a person to suffer and enjoy the same hardships and blessings in his life.
It's not fatalistic, it's my own opinion. I don't know why 25 years ago I expressed my thoughts on games and life that are very important to my future life choices.
It comes down to fate!
What's better about the game than life is that you hang up in the game and can be resurrected, but life can't!
So you must cherish life, and you won't start over if you hang up.
Contrary to the opinion of ordinary people, I don't think that the past few years spent on this game are wasted.
The reason why I say this is because I have played an online game thoroughly, and I can't talk about understanding it without playing this; The second is that I learned some extremely useful things from Shi Yuzhu and the game itself, which are far worth more than the little time wasted.
One of the most important things I've learned from the game is to finish it first, then perfect it.
This one is definitely going to be written in bold type.
Because my hobby is fine brushwork (which I'll talk about in the next chapter), I'm definitely a perfectionist in what I like to do, which also influences my work to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, the memoir I write now, according to the year, I will carefully improve this table of contents for a long time, and then every chapter, every subsection will strive to be exciting, so there is nothing wrong, but sometimes the consequence is that I am too much striving for perfection and I probably don't know when I can start writing.
I had a lot of stuff that was put on hold because I was too perfectionist to put pen to paper or start acting.
So it's important to finish first.
On the basis of finishing first, then go to perfection.
Just like when you were a child when you wrote an essay, you had to be 600 words if you asked for 600 words, and you spent the entire exam to deduce a title comparable to Li Du, and you didn't write anything else, and it was 0 points.
There are many tasks on the journey that have bonuses, such as stealing bricks and spying, purple is much more experienced than green and yellow, the color you give at the beginning of the task is very likely to be bad, it may only be white or blue, it must be changed (the color can be changed, but it is very likely to be killed when you change, which is also one of the strategies for selling knives on the journey), but you must not compete to change to purple, which is likely to cause you to fail to complete other tasks, affecting the overall harvest in the end, so we basically stop in moderation. It's almost green on it, so that you can complete the basic required tasks and save time.
I once had a good letter that I had to change to the purple one, but the later tasks were not completed, and the loss was not small.
This has made me accustomed to completing the assigned tasks first and then talking about anything else. This habit is very important, and it makes me get used to doing other things first, especially within the allotted time.
The icing on the cake is good, but there must be brocade first, which is also the most important point after I later intervened in my daughter's education, seeking brocade first.
The second gain is to thoroughly understand the 28 principle.
In the limited time of more than 50 years, I have dabbled in more than a dozen award-winning hobbies, and I like each of them, but this is bound to cause inadequacy, although I have also said that I like everything I don't give up, but in the end I finally learned how to do better in the allocation of time.
That is the 28 principle, although this principle has been heard for a long time, but it is not until the journey is completely awakened, the ultimate rule of the journey of profit is to use the small benefits of 80% of the free people to serve the 20% of the people who spend money, he really understands who is willing to pay for his income.
So I ranked my hobbies according to my liking, and then spent 80% of my time doing the first few things that I liked the most, and the rest had time to do, and if I didn't have time, I didn't do it yet, strictly managed my time, and studied hard to set big goals!
It's for the important takeaway!
In the end, games and life are inseparable, so why do you have to be so clear!
Just follow your heart!
So what kind of mind is the original mind?
I think it's children, and only they don't think about the mess of adults!
Picasso once said, "It took me all my life to learn to paint like a six-year-old." ”
What about me, how long will it take me to learn to draw?
