Chapter 18. For the life goal of the Chinese Artists Association
People always have to have a goal.
It doesn't matter whether the goal is big or small, realistic or illusory, easy to achieve or difficult to get to the sky, there must always be one.
When I mentioned this, I like to go back to the source and go straight to the philosophical proposition.
Avoiding the three most basic, the rest can't escape.
That's why people live.
What people live for, this is an too empty question, Li Yinhe's answer on Zhihu ranked second: comfort at this moment is the most worthwhile goal for people, including the comfort of material life, interpersonal relationships and spiritual life.
She said that it is wrong for people to think of themselves as important and small.
This answer received 42,511 approvals.
In fact, it should be 42512, I registered for a long time, and I can't click it.
I highly agree with her interpretation of these three aspects.
The comfortable interpretation at this moment is bound to be different for everyone.
Some people feel that they are not good enough to drive a million-dollar luxury car, some people feel left out after eating a meal of more than 8,000 yuan, some people feel very comfortable while nibbling on bread and drinking cold water and painting, and some people in their 90s are picking up waste and selling things by themselves, and it is very pleasant to eat a few buns and drink a bowl of tofu brain.
So in my opinion, as long as you don't affect others, you can be happy.
Isn't it?
Everyone who can think has a purpose.
There are absolutely no exceptions.
At least everyone wants to live, that's the goal.
Someone raised the bar and said that he didn't want to live, he wanted to die, and that was also the goal.
It's just that some people summarize and refine the goals, and some people don't.
Everyone's goals are different, and what A pursues all his life may be what B already has or what C dismisses.
In short, we can only know what we want or don't want ourselves, which requires us to calm down and think about what we really want.
It's what we want, not what we want to be in the eyes of others, and that's important, important, important.
For example, when I was young, my relatives and friends often persuaded me to go into politics and try to become a section chief, division chief, and director.
Of course, there are many people who say that I have failed in life, not even the deputy section chief.
I always ask rhetorically why.
The answer varies.
Some people say that being an official can make more money. I asked rhetorically whether it was because of the amount of money or the official itself, if it was because the official could earn more money, then there were many ways to earn a lot more money than the official earned!
Speechless one.
Some people say that it is good to be an official, and someone applauds you below when you speak on the stage, and someone pays attention to you wherever you go. I replied that although I think it's a good thing for someone to applaud me, but I don't necessarily have to be an official to speak to people to get applause, and when I play basketball, I go to the basket and break through the score, and the female classmates in my class also applaud me (I didn't pay attention to the boys' applause, just hearing the cheers of the girls, it must be their voices higher, it must be so).
Speechless two.
Some people say that if you become an official, you can be recognized and praised by others, especially relatives and friends. I asked rhetorically, why do I let those rich people who have distant relatives in the mountains recognize, and those friends who drink and meat, I can't get annoyed, who has time to listen to them praise me.
Besides, if I draw well, sing well, write well, and have people praise and recognize me, at least this kind of praise is what I like.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Let them stay away from me, and we'll be at peace.
Speechless three.
Some people say......
Don't talk about it, I'm going to paint.
A person really shouldn't use his own thinking to imagine what kind of bowl the emperor used to eat, at most you can only think of gold.
Once again, I state that it is only possible to be a good official if you like and have the ability to meet people who appreciate and are willing to promote you to politics.
But it really didn't have anything to do with me, and after that shattered dream of being a kindergarten class leader and when I was 30 years old, I seriously reflected on myself, and I didn't have this in my goal anymore.
Of course, I'm definitely not a hypocritical person, and I won't shirk if there really is any first-level organization that asks me to do something.
It's just that it's not what I'm working for.
I don't understand it, I can't eat grapes!
Speaking of returning to the goal, since 2016, I have written "Inventory of My ......" every year (last year), plan my ...... (next year)", in fact, I have a clear goal for each year, especially after I listed my plan for the first time in a five-year period at the end of 2020, in fact, my goal is already very feasible by 2025.
It has been comprehensively considered from the aspects of family, responsibility, hobbies, and pleasures.
If you can keep setting annual goals and can achieve 60% of them, you will have no regrets.
I had already announced to people I knew that I could think of the ultimate goal so far: when I was 90 years old, I was invited to dinner, and I could go with my wife, eat together, and go home together.
All other goals are subordinated to this ultimate goal.
After clarifying the ultimate goal, one of the biggest remaining goals is to join the Chinese Artists Association with all my heart.
Everything else is just a small goal.
There is an essential difference between goals and delusions, goals are what a person is sure can be achieved through hard work, and the goal achieved is success, of course, in the process of action, we need to often stop and correct the direction of deviation, not like those students who pick bowls, deviate too far.
Potential Master Bohn. Tracy said, "Success equals the goal, and everything else is a commentary on this sentence." β
I didn't hear this sentence from him himself, I saw it from Chen Anzhi's book "Never Run Naked", and I didn't find the source.
We are not talking about success itself, nor are we talking about Chen Anzhi.
Just say this. The sentence itself is fine.
All the main goals are achieved, and life is a success.
I like to think about it and summarize it randomly, and I started to summarize the goals of Tian's again.
Closing the elephant in the refrigerator is a three-step process.
How many steps does the Nada Clan's goal rule take?
After thinking about it carefully, I think it is more reasonable for Tian's goal law to be divided into nine steps.
Think, Clarify, Split, Act, Correct, Effort, Success, Happy, Boom!
Indispensable.
After careful thinking, the goal is clear, and these two steps are easy to achieve, and you can dream about it. But this does not mean that it is successful, and there is still a lot to be done in the meantime, and one of the most important steps is to break down the big goal into smaller goals.
The biggest problem with the goals I set in my early years was that they had no specific action steps, and these goals, which had long since disappeared in the short river of history, were glamorous, grandiose and fascinating, but in the end they were basically gone.
After reviewing the gains and losses, the most important mistake is not breaking down these big goals into one achievable one.
The road should be taken step by step, and the meal should be eaten one bite at a time.
Although it is also possible to take two steps at a time, the enterprise does not stand, and the crosser does not. Such a person will be so tired after jumping a few steps that he will forget why he walked in the first place, and he is destined to not go far.
Therefore, it is necessary to break down the big goal into small goals.
This is the hard lesson I learned after many failures.
Before the big goal of joining the China Artists Association is realized, there must be a medium goal, that is, to join the Provincial Artists Association.
In order to join the Provincial Artists Association, this goal is to participate in three exhibitions related to the Provincial Artists Association, so at this stage, the small goal of entering the Provincial Artists Association for three times is the biggest goal in my first five-year plan.
Some are tongue-twisting.
The requirements for membership of the HLJ Provincial Artists Association, which I have a relationship with, are as follows:
Chapter 1 performance conditions of the declarant
1. Admission conditions for art creation
1. Participate in an exhibition related to the membership of the China Artists Association, and meet the qualifications of the China Artists Association. Participated in three exhibitions related to the Provincial Artists Association and met the membership qualifications. Collaborative works participating in exhibitions related to membership are calculated as half membership qualifications, and if they accumulate more than three times, at least one independently created work should meet the membership qualifications, and membership can be determined at the discretion. If the author has multiple works in the same category and in the same exhibition that meet the qualifications stipulated in the exhibition, and the same work participates in the exhibition multiple times and meets the qualification specified in the exhibition, it will only be counted once.
3. Works created independently, which have participated in exhibitions related to the admission of the Provincial Artists Association for three times, but do not meet the qualifications stipulated in the exhibition, can be used as the qualifications for the first membership of the Provincial Artists Association, except for cooperative works.
Once the goal is clear and split, the most important thing is just do it!
Act now!
There are a lot of times when I don't pay much attention to the detailed planning, and I will talk about what I do in advance, and then slowly adjust and improve the plan in the process.
It's a habit of mine, and it's not good or bad.
I benefited from this habit in the second article that I remember the most.
One of the three most memorable passages is the story I told in Chapter 1, Section 9, "Games and Life".
The second article is from The Reader.
There is a story about a child who wants to see the scenery on the other side of the wall, but the wall is so high that he can't get past it, and he thinks about it for a long time, but he can't help it. So he went to his father. He led his father to the wall and told him that he wanted to see the scenery over there, but he couldn't, and asked his father to help him.
The dad only asked two questions.
"Are you really going to take a look?"
"Yes."
"Have you thought of anything?"
"I've thought about it."
Then the father didn't say anything, reached out and took off the child's baseball cap, which was the child's favorite.
Then he raised his hand and threw his hat over the wall.
Then he went home on his own.
At dinnertime, the kid came back with the baseball cap he liked.
Originally, the child just wanted to see the scenery on the other side of the wall, but after throwing the hat over, it became a must.
One is to think, the other is to must.
This is an important source of disparate action.
When I read this article many years ago, I remember it as a frontispiece from an issue of Reader magazine, and I don't know why I remembered it.
It's not important, it's important that this article has been influencing me for so many years, and I have had many important decisions for me that have been influenced by this article, some of them even a lot.
So I took the initiative to throw my hat to the wall first, and publicly declared in the circle of friends that I wanted to join the Chinese Artists Association.
It's not a thought, it's a necessity.
So I don't think about it anymore.
I didn't want to think about it a lot, so I started to act.
After starting the action, in addition to giving up the boss halfway, correction is a very important option, and it can be said that it is an important option to accompany the action itself until it succeeds.
The sea sails by the helmsman.
Corrections will help you correct deviations over the course of your stay, so that you can move smoothly towards your goal.
On the way forward, we have to stop often and think about why we set out in the first place. Then look again, and it's not off.
This is very important.
The so-called difference is a thousand miles.
A little deviation at a time can even cause a disagreement.
It's like drinking water, and it's best to pick a bowl.
Not forgetting the original intention is a universal truth.
After the correction, continue to work harder, even harder than the initial action.
If you persist in this way, I believe that "keep the clouds open and see the moon, and wait for the flowers to bloom at the end of the day".
Wait for success!
The harvest at that time was accompanied by many adjectives such as joy, happiness, happiness, smile, etc. If you don't snort, it will definitely not work, absolutely unreasonable.
At this point, the nine steps of Tian's success method can be considered complete.
Indispensable.
Finally, let's talk about this big goal, which is really a headache when you think about it.
Regarding the Chinese Artists Association, the official website of the China Artists Association introduces it like this.
Founded in 1949, the China Artists Association (hereinafter referred to as the China Artists Association) is a professional people's organization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and composed of artists of all nationalities across the country.
The Chinese Artists Association implements a system of group membership and individual membership...... There are more than 15,500 individual members.
Since the founding of the country, there have been only more than 15,500 people.
That's right, in the 70 years since its founding, only more than 15,500 people have joined this group.
The difficulty of joining can be imagined.
The conditions for joining the Chinese Artists Association, which I have a relationship with, are as follows:
Chapter 2 performance conditions of the declarant
The performance conditions of the declarant are based on the point system. If the score is more than 9 points (including 9 points), it will meet the performance conditions for applying for membership. The specific points are as follows:
Article 1 Scoring standards for art creation
1. Independently created works to participate in exhibitions related to membership, and have the qualification to apply for membership of the Chinese Artists Association (hereinafter referred to as the "one-time qualification"), the work will be awarded 3 points.
7. 1 point will be awarded for independently created works that participate in relevant exhibitions but do not meet the qualifications for membership stipulated in the exhibition, and no points will be awarded for collaborative works.
It's too difficult to get 3 points at a time, and this is really negligible. Therefore, I need to participate in 9 national art exhibitions, and I can accumulate 9 points to qualify for joining the Chinese Artists Association.
From 0 to 9!
It's also nine steps.
Now that I've set my goal, I'm still in the 0 position, so let's take it one step at a time!
Many books tell us a truth, people, must have a dream, in case it is going to come true!
yes, that's a good thing in the book.
Thanks to these books that have been read carefully over the years!
