First, let me give you an example. A few years ago, I met a young man who had graduated from a top university in China with a degree in foreign languages. He had been working for two or three years and had been working part-time at an English training program for college entrance exams. He […]

A friend kindly gifted me a book, with the commanding title, “This Book Can Make You Quit Smoking”. After a period of time, he asked me on WeChat, “Have you read the book?” At the other end of the screen, I lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and replied, “No.” He asked again, “Why […]

I think, in fact, there are no saints in this world; at most, there are only the strong and the weak. And those strong individuals are not flawless, but rather appear “perfect” simply because there are more weak individuals present. So, if we must accurately describe it, in reality, there are no strong individuals in […]

“Living in the moment” is a very popular saying. However, I have always found this to be a rather foolish piece of advice, because the majority of people do not need this advice at all, as they are already living in the present. On the contrary, living in the moment is likely the fundamental reason […]

Undoubtedly, an operating system that can switch modes is more advanced. As we mentioned earlier, an operating system that can actively switch between “fly mode” and “bee mode” has amazing capabilities in effortlessly transitioning across different domains. 毫无疑问，可以切换模式的操作系统更先进。正如我们之前提到的，可以在“飞行模式”和“蜜蜂模式”之间主动切换的操作系统具有毫不费力地跨不同域转换的惊人功能。 The majority of people tend to live in a one-track manner. They prefer everything to have a […]

In life, if you encounter someone who carries an air of superiority or disdain and makes comments such as: 在生活中，如果你遇到一个带着优越感或不屑一顾的人，并发表这样的评论：“You don’t even know this?!” “你连这个都不知道？！”“You just found out about this?!” “你刚刚发现这件事？！”“We stopped doing this a long time ago!” “我们很久以前就不这样做了！”you’re better off avoiding them. They are typical attention-seekers who are extremely concerned and only interested in […]

Books must be read carefully, there’s no compromise. That’s why it’s crucial to choose books carefully. And books must be chosen by oneself. Book selection is also a skill that must be acquired and developed. Don’t ask others for reading lists; that just creates a burden for them – who knows what books others should […]

Books are generally divided into two categories: fiction and non-fiction. Reading non-fiction books is for acquiring new knowledge and applying it to life, allowing oneself to make progress. Personally, I prefer non-fiction books because the pleasure I gain from them feels more substantial, usually based on the progress achieved. After graduating from college, I rarely […]

Hehe, Does being not ugly mean you don’t have to study more? 呵呵，不丑不等就不用多学了吗？ People always have many illusions, or wishful thinking. 人们总是有很多幻想，或者一厢情愿。 For example, boys who are not handsome enough think (actually hope) that handsome guys cannot be smart; girls who are not pretty enough think (or even hope) that pretty girls don’t do housework […]

Self-learning has always been a specialty of a minority. 自学一直是少数人的专长。What we call “upgrading our own operating system” is actually the process of repeatedly self-learning. Why do people have to have the ability to self-learn? Everyone has different reasons. I will share my own reasons. 我们所说的“升级自己的操作系统”，其实就是反复自我学习的过程。为什么人必须有自学的能力？每个人都有不同的原因。我将分享我自己的原因。 Many years ago, I heard someone say, “Teachers are the […]
