Seeing a sentence, "It is not done when it is strong, but it is done that it is strong", and I deeply agree.
Many times, we always think, wait until we accumulate to a certain extent before doing something, and then do something when we become stronger. But this accumulation may always be unsatisfactory, and we may not be strong enough, so what we want to do can never begin.
Instead of waiting until you get stronger and then doing what you want to do, start doing it now. In fact, only in the process of doing, we can gradually reach a more powerful level if we continue to find problems and solve problems, get feedback from actions, learn lessons, increase accumulation, and increase our ability.
No matter how well prepared, if you lack the courage to start, it will always be just paper, never ready. Not daring to start is often a lack of a brave heart, suffering from gains and losses, fearing the results of failure, or just making excuses for their laziness.
People are always inert, and if you are always in a state of preparation, you will not be so urgent and will not be too demanding of yourself. But after forcing yourself to start doing one thing, you will try to do as well as you can, but you will grow faster.
For example, writing, no matter how much material you accumulate, if you don't start writing, your writing ability will never improve. You only have to master the writing skills little by little in the process of writing, and improve your writing ability little by little. Even if you don't write well at first, and you write a lot, natural practice makes perfect. And once you insist on writing, you will find that there will be more and more topics to write about, rather than exhausting your mind and unable to write.
Some people rely too much on inspiration, but inspiration is fleeting, and if you don't record it quickly, it's gone in an instant. No amount of inspiration, if you can't translate it into real words, inspiration will be futile. The more you write, the inspiration will continue to bubble up, like the water of a mountain spring. It can be seen that writing depends more on continuous writing training and practice.
My cousin is retired, she loves to travel and write about her life. This year, I advised her to open a public account, she said that she was not good at writing, and she wanted to accumulate for a while. Considering that after a few days, she still opened, she did not even know how to operate the computer, and it took a lot of effort to open a public account, asking people everywhere, and needing to be taught by hand. But after the opening, she has been insisting on writing, the frequency of updates is very high, the article is more and more skillful and fluent, and the progress is rapid. In a few months, fifty or sixty original articles have been published.
If the cousin is worried and does not open a public account, her writing speed may not be so fast, she may not write so many articles, and the computer will not be used so handily. So, many times, we need to force ourselves to take the first step, although this step can be difficult.
When we first start doing something, most of the time it won't be perfect, or even bad. Whether a person's willpower is strong depends on whether he can continue to persevere when he is not good enough. A person who is interested in a thing can do it with a passion and passion at the beginning. If you do it well, of course, you have the confidence to stick to it. But if you don't get the response and don't achieve the desired effect, most people may give up. A small number of people know that they are insufficient, but they still choose to challenge themselves and continue to move forward. The few who persevere may succeed and become powerful people. Therefore, people must learn to accept temporary failures and imperfections, strive to persevere, do it, improve while improving, and finally become a relatively powerful person.
For example, Internet celebrities, their considerable income makes people envious and jealous. But most of the Internet celebrities are not a hit, a blockbuster, they have experienced a long period of obscurity before they became popular. They also chose to persevere in countless times of grief, constantly falling, getting up, and constantly groping for experience, and finally a few people stood out, and most of them had long been drowned in the vast sea of people. Therefore, they are also typical examples of doing first and then doing better.
We often see two people who started from the same point, but after a few years, they are far apart. Because even if it is difficult, it is also trying to move forward, but one is undecided, or halfway abandoned, the person who chooses to practice is getting stronger and stronger, and the person who hesitates to move forward will always stay in the dream stage.
Yan Yuan of the Qing Dynasty said: "When the heart is awake, the mouth says that it is done on paper, and if it is not learned from the body, it is useless." Be brave enough to take the first step and practice a little bit every day, instead of lying flat and imagining what to do in the future.
