The contradiction between the growing number of hobbies and the lack of time has always been the main contradiction that I urgently need to solve.

As a last resort, some things have to be gradually reduced in the amount of time they have invested, and they are almost thrown away, and no more or little effort is put into them.

But because of my cleverness, even if some hobbies or skills are thrown away, the skills I learned at the beginning are still remembered after many years or sometimes it is easy to get them back.

For example, the Rubik's Cube, or a period of time in junior high school, it arose among classmates, at that time I learned from the trend, I remember that there was a classmate named Bai Donghong at that time, and later he felt that the name was too feminine, so he changed it to Baiyunfeng, I should have learned it under his influence. And I'm sure he's faster than me, the main thing is that he showed off in front of me, or I can't remember him (Scorpio attribute re-sexual explosion). Soon after learning it, I lost my freshness and started a new hobby.,If I'm not mistaken, it should be influenced by "Shaolin Temple" to start the martial arts mode.。 Thrown almost forty years, some time ago I encountered a Rubik's cube at hand and hit it, although the middle was slightly stuck in the shell, but it didn't try a few times and still became six-sided, although it was not the same as the original hand speed, but it was still matched within three or two minutes.

The reason why I say this is just to express that I didn't put that much effort into a lot of what I learned. There are even a lot of memories that are just scratched the surface when they first learned, but they are just clever and have a better memory (the memory here is only for the things I like or have liked, and other memories that I don't like and don't pay attention to are almost deleted).

In this way, I tried many hobbies.

Despite my many hobbies, I have hardly been consistent with any of them over the years. Even the number one game has been deleted for five years.

But after recalling, I found that there was no such thing as a fundamental break.

The period of time when each hobby is broken is basically learning almost, and then there is no environment or no one to stick with me. This reason is a bit far-fetched, but it is true, the environment is temporarily gone, and there are no like-minded and close friends to follow and stick to it, so some hobbies are thrown away, and it should not be said that they are thrown away, but there is no time or opportunity to continue. But when the time came, I picked it up again.

Many of my hobbies are the same as the repeated deletion and re-download of games, which is how to learn and stop learning. This is the main thing for a while. After a while, it was the main one again.

Basically go with the environment and the people.

So there are many times when it's really important to have a good environment or someone who can accompany you to do this hobby.

After repeating this repeatedly, I realized the problem.

The first is a lack of self-confidence.

This is not too rigorous, and it should be said that it lacks sufficient self-confidence.

People's self-confidence is slowly cultivated! In fact, in retrospect, I have many hobbies that have gone through different degrees of detours, and I didn't have enough confidence to complete them at the beginning.

For example, at the beginning of learning to type, I first thought that pinyin was fine, and the line was a finger, and then I felt that it was wrong and began to have different fingers according to the keyboard requirements. After adapting to feel slow, think about it, learned Larry, not do not know the five strokes of the font is good, but has always felt that it is a professional typist with, difficult, so never dared to try. Larry learned after a lot faster,But still feel lacking,I got the root list of the five-stroke font,Originally I didn't want to memorize it deliberately,It's just that the memory was good,After seeing a few times I had an impression,Then I typed a few words,I found that it was not so difficult,So I made up my mind to type with the five-stroke font. When I first learned, there was no universal five strokes and the like that can be switched directly in the five strokes and pinyin input method,At that time, I used five strokes first,And then there are words that can't be typed and then switched to pinyin,At first, you always have to switch,Then it's good slowly,Almost a long time to switch once,Until now, you can basically keep up with the speed of speaking。

Many of my hobbies have taken the same detours as Wubi fonts.

Those who put some effort to back the double spell in vain.

This is the five-stroke font root table that I memorized back then, and there was a formula table with this back then, what "Wang next to the green head of the five-one, the Tushi two dry ten inches of rain" and the like, I didn't memorize it like this back then, I always felt that I had to recall it again when the time came to memorize it like this, so I didn't memorize this formula according to other people's requirements, but memorized it myself.

Now to sum up, I have a lot of things that I do according to my own feelings, and very few of them are specifically learned according to a fixed routine. It's a mixed bag, and sometimes I have to turn back, but even if I do, I can see the scenery on the south wall that hit my head, and I won't regret it. Sometimes I can get out of a different road from others, such as my table tennis, I use positive rubber, all the people who use positive rubber emphasize speed, only I am a sucker short and slow, mainly to destroy the rhythm of the opponent, although there are not too good results, but also achieved the city-level ranking, for me is enough to be gratified.

The second problem that caused the learning to keep going back and forth was that I found that there was a lack of planning.

A lot of times I learn things out of the mood, and when I see someone around me learning this and think it's fun, I start to get started, and after a while, I find that another group of people are playing that and then turn around and join another circle, and I don't have any plans at all.

Later, when I found this problematic, I started to make a plan.

Make a variety of plans.

I started making plans back in junior high school, and I started around that time.

Some of those plans were extremely detailed, some were extremely grandiose, some were extremely conformist, some were extremely fanciful, and looking back now, if they were all carried out, I feel that I should have gone sideways to match my worth.

When these plans were formulated, they were naturally full of pride, excitement, and enthusiasm.

Every time, I feel like a new me will be born the next year.

But almost nothing came to fruition, and I slowly lost my enthusiasm for making plans.

So my hobby continued on and off. During this time, I liked to read, so I got up early and kept reading the books, one after another; There will be an exhibition in the next time, so get up early and organize the sketch, outline the line, color, and submit the manuscript before the deadline; Then there is photography, carrying a camera on his shoulder to look for the beautiful scenery, and returning to organize and submit......

Every day is very busy.

I've always understood that this is not going to work.

Until I read Chen Anzhi's book for a while.

I heard him say it for the first time and agreed with him: "Failure is not the mother of success, review is". Looking back, there was nothing wrong with making my plans before, but I didn't review my plans.

After a careful review, I found that my original plan was a bit empty and lacked actionable details.

So, in 2016, I started a new planning model, that is, on December 31 every year, I summarized what I did that year, and then made a rough plan for the next year, the most important thing is that this plan is no longer an ethereal thing, but is really composed of a variety of specific small things. At the same time, at the end of each year, we should conscientiously summarize the completion of the year, face our hearts, no longer whitewash ourselves, and no longer entangle ourselves with what has not been completed.

If it is not completed, it will be put into the next year's plan, and it will be completed in the next year. For example, my memoir, which has been running for four years, only started writing this year. If it hasn't been done for many years, it proves that the matter is not that important or something that is beyond your ability, then delete it.

Slowly begin to become regular, not only as a hobby, but also as a life.

After making a plan for a few years and reviewing the gains and losses, I don't think the plan has to be fully implemented, and it is not possible to be precise.

I used to always like to be entangled in the plan is always not completed well, but then I understand, there is no need to dwell on this, the point is to think carefully about those plans that cannot be implemented, why they can't be implemented, whether it is their own reasons or the reasons for the goal must be clear, and we must not deceive ourselves.

After careful thinking in this way, you can adjust your goals according to your needs.

This is very important, and it is important to think about it before making targeted adjustments.

In fact, until the end of last year, when I was planning my goals for this year, I always ranked reading before painting. Maybe since I started reading at the age of more than a year, I have been sticking to it better over the years, so reading has always been the first place in the planning of these years. Maybe it's because I'm dazzled this year and I'm struggling to read; Maybe it's because I've read too many books, and now there are few books I want to read, which doesn't matter, but the result is that I read fewer books. So this year, I started to rank painting before reading.

Anyway, when I was combing through my memoirs, I ranked my hobbies head-to-head, and that's what happened.

Drawing has become my second favorite hobby after games.

That's good, too.

After all, there are painters among the four happiest people: the child building a castle on the beach, the mother bathing her baby after a tiring day, the doctor who saves the life of a sick person with great pain, and the artist who whistles to admire his work.

In fact, not only the ranking of hobbies should face the heart, but even the painting itself, I also experienced a detour, and finally faced the heart and corrected it back.

In terms of content, Chinese painting is divided into three categories: landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures. Among them, the landscape is slightly easier, and the characters are the most difficult.

It is also said that flowers and birds are slightly easier, and characters are the most difficult.

Of course, I'm just saying that it's easier to get started, and it's extremely difficult to draw a famous picture in any category. But either way, it is affirmed that figure painting is the most difficult.

Therefore, when I first learned, Zhao Yuhua and I chose flowers and birds at the same time.

And at the same time selected the Gongbi painting.

There are many classifications of painting.

The characters of landscapes, flowers and birds are divided from the content of expression.

Western painting and Chinese painting are regionally divided. According to the social role of painting and the form of expression it takes, it can be divided into propaganda posters, New Year paintings, comics, comic books, group paintings and illustrations.

In terms of paintings, it can be divided into Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, watercolor painting, gouache painting, sketching, sketching, etc. There are countless of these categories, and I did a summary of them more than a decade ago.

Gongbi and freehand are divided from the technique.

This difference becomes a lesson plan, so it can only be roughly said, freehand is generally said to be a thick pen, more bold, the pen is a fine pen, more fine, there is no simple which is higher, just look at your own favorite.

Because my initial contact with Brother Dong's Gongbi peony or Brother Lao's painting of peacock and Wu Song fighting the tiger are all fine and beautiful, I directly chose to paint Gongbi paintings.

Draw attentively.

In fact, the black tiger heart-digging line drawing of Jet Li in Shaolin Temple that my brother drew for me has always been subconsciously in my mind, but like the original five-stroke font, I didn't have a choice because it was too difficult.

It's not that I don't like character painting, I liked that kind of white drawing when I read villain books when I was a child, and the reason why I didn't choose character painting was because I thought it was too difficult, yes, I think.

In fact, I have discussed with many people what is a good painting, this question is different for everyone, my opinion is that whether it is an article, calligraphy, painting or music and dance, to measure it is to make the layman feel good, and the insider can say why it is good from the theoretical technique!

That's enough, not so many standards.

Extending to painting, I have always been inclined to Master Qi Baishi's statement, "Too similar to kitsch, not like to deceive the world, the magic lies between the similar and the unlike".

This is something that needs to be pursued for a lifetime.

During my time painting flowers and birds, I also had a few books on figure painting that I liked, which had a great influence on me.

This is different from the relationship between kites and March 3, I know that I must have bought these books because I liked the style in these books.

Since I didn't draw people at the time, I was willing to buy or keep it because there was something in it that moved me.

This is a portrait sketch of Gu Shengyue that I bought back then, and I was deeply attracted by the character portrayal in it, and the paintings here are still master-level to this day, so I still think that figure painting must be the highest level with beautiful movement and vivid expression.

When I was in school, I had a copy of Andrew . Lumis's "Sketch of the Human Body" was immediately attracted by the techniques inside, and he had drawn the first few pages of stickmen and human body movements, but unfortunately there was no one to guide him, and finally gave up, and after giving up, he felt that it was a pity, and picked it up again and again, so that the book was turned to the page. But the impact has always been there. From Andrew. From Rumis, I learned that "a dynamic movement is far more important than meticulous precision". To this day, many of my habits of drawing people come from this book.

Although the above two books are masterful, they have not influenced me the most. I can't remember when, it must have been before these two books, I bought a copy of "Human Body Structure", which was compiled by the textbook compilation team of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts published by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House. 1st edition in 1978 and sixth printing in 1986, so it should have been bought early. The books published by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House have always been very professional.

At that time, I was amazed by the four characters in it, these four characters have simple brushwork, but the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the characters are portrayed very expressively, and they are still very vivid now, so I remembered it at first sight, although the artistic attainments are far inferior to Mr. Gu Shengyue and Andrew. Mr. Lumis, but because of the early contact, it has always occupied an important position. For example, when my daughter was young, I once drew a picture of the queen of the Jade Dragon Kingdom in the young soldiers, which seemed very similar to her age, and it was a ceiling-level level, although she had seen countless better works when she grew up, but she still felt that the painting was good. So every time I read this book, I was amazed, and on September 24, 2016 (I think it wasn't long after I deleted the journey, which also proves that I put my energy into drawing after the deletion of the game) I wrote down my goal on the page and signed it as proof.

I didn't know what it meant when I wrote those four words.

It wasn't until 2018 that I decided to follow my heart and start learning about characters.

Obviously it was a difficult decision.

I have made some gains after making this decision, and this is thanks to the almighty circle of friends!
