Chapter 3: Eight hundred forty four

The name of this volume is the son-in-law of the demigod family, and it was finally completed successfully.
According to the original outline, after killing Andrea, marrying Palos, the plot of Su Ye’s establishment of power in is placed at the end of the fifth volume.
Later, after thinking about it, I found that the writing was too hasty, and the fifth volume would be too procrastinated, so the plot of the early period was included in this volume, and the plot of the search for Theseus would be more reasonable.
The next fifth volume, the name also said, is "the slayer of the magic world."
Ok……
The first volume of ancient Greek gourmets, the death of the arena, has a slightly sad ending.
The second volume of the gladiator of Sparta, the king of Suye, everyone is happy.
Volume three The bell ringer of the city of Athens, Euclid's bell, the end is slightly sad.
Volume Four, the son-in-law of a demigod family, marries Palos, and everyone is happy.
The fifth volume of the magic world's slayer, um...I won't talk about it, guess.
The general plot after that is in my mind, but as for the merging of the last two volumes, it is still divided into volumes 6 and 7, which are under consideration. You should guess the plot, starting from the fifth volume, the battle of the gods will begin.
At the beginning of writing this book, I was always hesitating whether I should write a "mage's path to godhood" or "a magician with the power of gods".
As you see, I chose the latter.
In fact, the former is easier to write, while the latter is somewhat challenging.
Whether it’s dnd-like writing or mythological writing, the protagonist eventually becomes a god, a who is essentially indistinguishable from all previous gods.
I believe in philosophy and science...no, it’s magic, so in my bones I still firmly believe that the mortal body is not only a grand wish, but also achievable, and a possibility, even a great one, in the future. Possible.

This road has been built by the sages since ancient times.
I have always disliked the pessimistic human futurism. I think that those who hold this view, in essence, still don’t trust the great sages of the past, present and future.
If we skip the limitations of the emergence stage and examine mankind on a scale of several million years, we will find that mankind has been making progress, progress, and progress.
From the beginning of the diversified civilization that mankind gave birth to, apart from super-large-scale cosmic disasters, no force can stop human progress.
No.
Even if the world-destroying meteorite falls on the earth again, we terrifying upright apes will surely be able to surpass the previous generation of earth's overlord dinosaurs and survive tenaciously.
Uh, far away...
Starting from the next book, I will focus more on the novel and the story itself, and reduce other things, so I will be a little bit more willful in the summary of each volume of this book, and have a few more words.
In the future, I should rarely talk about personal matters in the chapter testimonials.
It's New Year's Day soon, so I will just chat with you about my year.
The content is quite strange, it seems that no author has talked about it...
Since 2019, I have been looking for a goal in life. At the beginning, it was really difficult.
Later, I searched again and again, and from time to time I thought about what I think is the most important and what my ultimate goal in life should be.
In the end, I found my direction in life.
A vague life plan was formulated this year.
In the current plan, the next ten years will be the accumulation phase.
There are basically three themes of this decade.
One, in-depth study of writing.
The current writing is divided into three small directions.
1. In-depth reading of classics.
I read the classics repeatedly. For example, I recently re-read "A Dream of Red Mansions". At present, I read it slowly, word by word. After reading it, I will review it. The next day before I read it, I will review what I read yesterday in my mind. After preparing to read, continue to read repeatedly and take notes to refine the characters and details inside.
In short, give up the extensive reading that used to be a fancy way to read more valuable and in-depth reading. I have only realized the importance of repeated deep reading in the past two years, ashamed, ashamed.
2. Expand the breadth of knowledge.
Repeated reading of classics is depth, and expanded reading is breadth. There is no contradiction between the two.
3. Practice basic skills.
There are two directions for good basic skills.
The first is to reorganize one's own writing system, not to say how high the level can be, but to make perfect iterations and build a more solid writing system in continuous construction and crushing.
An important part of this process is to learn from other writers.
The second is to deliberately practice basic writing.
Practicing the basic skills is simple, but it is actually very, very difficult. The difficulty is not in itself. The difficulty is that it takes at least two or three years of training to see obvious progress and results.
Little children have gone through two or three years of training in their ignorance, perhaps in a silly way, but for adults, especially self-thinking like me, they are actually lazy, ignorant, impatient, and their energy fades. It's very difficult for adults with disordered thinking and difficulty concentrating.
I remember Lei Jun said that many adults did not lose the ability to learn, but lost their willingness to learn.
I am particularly thankful that the willingness to learn has been re-inspired in the past two years.
I believe that I can persist in two to three years, five to six years, or even more than ten years of long-term guidance, to sharpen the basic skills.
This time I am not always determined, but I found that this year I did a lot of things that I could not do before.
Second, do a good job in self-management.
It is December 30, 2020.
Around October 2018, that is, two years ago, I started to record time, that is, to record what time to what time, what I did, and then classify various time statistics, such as working time, study time, Healthy time, rest time, wasted time, etc. Yes, it is the famous Lyubichev time recording method.
As a result, I often missed and forgotten, and at the same time I felt a lot of pressure. After more than half a month, I gave up completely. It was too difficult...
The good thing is that it allows me to see what I am like...
I originally thought that I would never make this painful time record again.
In a blink of an eye, I came to September 2019, and I started to challenge time management again, but instead of time recording, it was the timetable work method, which is to set a time for myself and do something within the specified time, just like having a class when I was a student.
I insisted on it for four or five months, from September to December, I felt that this method was not good and gave up.
Then, in November 2020, just last month, I seemed to be controlled by the devil Su Ye. I patted my forehead inexplicably and felt like I was doing it again.
So I restarted the time recording two years ago and recorded in detail what I did every day.
At the beginning, I thought I would give up halfway, but after a month, not only did I not give up, but an uncontrollable swell, that's it?
It's too simple! carry on!
Let's record a decade and see.
It smells so good!
At this time, I haven't realized anything.
Until a few days ago, I patted my head again and ran in the weather of minus 15 degrees.
When I went there, I dangled, and when I came back, that's it?
I suddenly found out that two years ago, I ran for a few minutes, no, after 30 seconds, I panted as if I was about to pump.
A year ago, when the temperature was below 0 degrees, I made all kinds of excuses, why don’t you have shoes for running in winter, what is the serious smog, what to say after winter...
Now, just find a thick shoe of the same size, put on thick down pants in disregard of the image, run with a frozen nose, and run in the weather of minus 15 degrees with frosted eyelashes.
Not only did it feel difficult, but it felt so good!
It smells so good!
Through these two things, I suddenly understood.
This year, I cultivated all kinds of habits, but there were interruptions, but I did not get angry or gave up. I continued to use it, and then, the more I used it, the more comfortable it became.
I now turn on the computer every morning, record the time, meditate, then open the form to list the list of goals for the morning, write clearly what to do, then read the habit development card, clear my goal direction, and then write the simplest identification diary , The content is one yesterday’s mistake plus three yesterday’s minor successes, and finally a writing review.
Finish the self-management above, start thinking about what should be written today, after thinking for a while, start writing.
I am now completely accustomed to self-management in the morning, but I have spent more than two years stumbling and stumbling like a baby learning to walk.
Around October 2018, I started to learn about time management in self-management, and then I started to learn about energy management, emotion management, goal management, etc., collectively referred to as self-management, because it is essentially self-management.
Looking back over the past two years, I found that my growth is very similar to the famous technology maturity curve.
The beginning is the triggering period, contact self-management, inner humility, and serious study.
After that, I entered the second stage of inflating bubble period, thinking I had learned new knowledge, I thought I had mastered it thoroughly, and I thought I had the ability.
After that, the bubble burst and entered the third phase of disillusionment.
From the peak of self-feeling in life, directly into the bottom.
It hurts, it hurts...
At this time, I realized that I only knew the so-called new terms, and I didn't master the knowledge and transformed it into ability. On the contrary, I had all kinds of anxiety and my life was confused and gloomy.
At this time, most people will give up, but sometimes I am a stupid and reckless person and never give up.
I firmly believe that what I have learned is valuable.
Therefore, continue to learn and stick to the methods and tools.
By 2020, continue to persist, huh? Self-management ability seems to have improved a little bit.
This means that I have entered the fourth stage, the recovery period, and my ability has begun to slowly climb.
I looked back, and I didn't actually last completely.
For example, develop a habit, often fail, on and off... on and off!
For example, recording time, single-core work method, identification diary, daily meditation and meditation, sports and running... all intermittently.
If we look at it on a micro scale, we will find that my so-called habit cultivation is simply a joke, because it is often interrupted, often changed, often replaced, and often failed.
But today, when I look back and measure it on the scale of one year, the situation has changed.
These methods and habits are on and off... on and off!
I suddenly realized.
The efforts I started in October 2018 were not in vain.
My failures hundreds of times in the past two years are not useless.
Every time I fail, I am preparing to succeed.
Our life is not a knockout. It does not mean that we made a mistake today. If we fail today, our life will be over and the whole person will die socially.
Life is a round robin.
After losing one game, there are countless games to win.
What I am doing is to continuously improve my winning percentage.
Looking back now, even for a child, it takes two years to develop a mixed morning self-care habit.
I, as I said before, is a lazy, ignorant, impatient, diminished energy, confused thinking, difficulty concentrating, and so on.
A friend gave me a screenshot a few days ago. Some people said that I had gone through the previous twists and turns, decadent, gave up, and started pursuing the ethereal spirit, learning useless philosophy, full of principles, essence, and logic.
In fact, only after my mind travels in the "world of truth" can my body move forward steadily in the "real world".
This is something many people don't believe, because my statement goes beyond "instinct" and "experience."
In fact, with a little understanding of neurological brain science and a little understanding of the principles of the brain, you will understand that I am actually growing up in a scientific way that the brain likes.
If I hadn't been exposed to those philosophical, spiritual, and metaphysical things, I might not be able to grind myself as steadfastly and willingly as I am now in another ten years, taking years or even ten years as the time unit.
In fact, it is not very useful to say these, because no one can persuade others, and every time we change, we persuade ourselves.
I'm not in a hurry. After ten years, I will conduct a ten-year summary to see what changes I have.
Third, think about the principle and essence.
This is my third theme in this decade.
Because this thing is too deep, and my level is limited, I can't use simple language for everyone to understand, or that I only know a little bit.
The reason why I do this is that thinking the principle and essence is useful to me, based on a few very simple logical lines.
The first logical line:
If I didn’t think about a problem independently and for a long time, and only quickly judged to get the correct result, and even believed that others were wrong, then I must be one of the best hundreds of people of my age in the world .
But I am not, so there must be a problem with my past way of thinking about problems and thinking mode.
The second logical line:
If I persist in the mistakes of the past, then I cannot improve, so I need to change my way of thinking about problems and thinking mode.
The third logical line:
In this world, there are already a large number of outstanding talents, who have spread all over the ages. Instead of thinking and looking at everything in the wrong way I used to think, it is better to learn from the big guys of each era, mainly to learn the common points of those big guys, and learn the behaviors, laws, knowledge, etc. they like and insist on.
Based on these three logics, as well as other hidden logics, I began to continue to learn from various bigwigs, looking for their common ground.
I mainly found two common points.
The first is the commonality of behavior.
For example, they all like to read and read the same high-value books many times. Not only are the big brothers from the past and present, but even those excellent authors in the Internet literary world, they will say that they have read high-value literary books many times. .
The second is the common point of thinking.
For example, whether they are business people today or thinkers, scientists, philosophers, and politicians in the past, they are pursuing the essence and principles of various fields, advocating the first principles, and putting them in the East called "Tao produces everything". In pursuing the essence, we are pursuing the most basic laws of everything, even the laws of laws.
I am really stupid, but this is the most effective way of growing up I have found so far.
I may not be able to create the theory of relativity like Einstein did. He has been thinking about light and time since he was 16 years old, he has been studying, and working hard until he was 26 years old. It took ten years to create the special theory of relativity.
However, I can learn from him to keep thinking, keep learning, keep working hard.
I may not be able to create a great company like Ren Zhengfei and old man.
However, I can learn from what he said personally, using a dissipative structure to resolve the entropy increase.
I may not be the richest man in the world like Buffett.
However, I can learn from what he said, investing in myself is the best investment, and I can also learn from his long-termism.
I may not be able to create a Microsoft empire like Bill Gates.
However, I can learn from him, read more and read good books.
I may not be able to think about the principles of writing from a young age like the angry banana, deducing the essence of writing, and spend a lot of time thinking.
However, I can learn from him reading the same book over and over again, and I can also learn from his path of thinking and pursue the essence and principles of online writing.
My current path may seem wrong many years later.
But it must be more correct than in the past.
It's that simple.
There are three main reasons why I said this suddenly today.
The first is joy. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
I am delighted with the remarkable growth this year.
The second is sharing.
Share my joy.
The third is to establish a silent supervisor.
When I released this year-end summary, I entered into a contract with every reader who read it.
This contract is that I, the eternal fire, will spend at least ten years studying online writing, self-management, in-depth thinking, and self-improvement.
Everyone who sees here is my witness.
Starting today, I will get a kind of anxiety, or spur, or burden.
Once I suddenly abandon myself, I will definitely think of today's contract and of countless silent supervisors.
Then, I would think, Xiaohuo, you blew such a big bull and then gave up, how to explain to those silent supervisors?
Go back and study honestly! Work hard! improve!
This is not a promise to readers, nor a promise to relatives and friends, let alone a promise to immortals.
I am promising to myself.
I really like writing this summary, but publishing this summary puts me in an uncomfortable panic zone. I actually don't like it very much.
However, I like to take the initiative to change and progress. I want to take the initiative to change and progress, so I still send it out.
Today, I changed my fan title.
From now on, my fan title is "He Huo Ren".
Every one of my readers is not only my silent supervisor for ten years, but also a partner of my generation.
Today I said too much big talk. In the next year, I will do more small things to make up for it. Then, next year, I will talk more big talk!
Finally, ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription, and ask for more people to join!
Tomorrow will continue to update the fifth volume, the slayer of the magic world.
