Do you really need to write?

This article is about writing. Although I wrote an article before, I always felt something was missing until something happened a few days ago. ...

First, the talented woman around me-Deng Jie

A few days ago, I suddenly received a message from a friend, "I posted an article on Fu Shu, so I can open it." After receiving the news, I honestly didn't care too much. After opening the article, I saw the author named Deng Page, a columnist of Fu Shu. Because the article was long, I quickly scanned it and asked her, "Are you ... Deng Page?" In fact, I don't despise the meaning of this sentence at all, but I'm not sure. Then she answered me "Yes". I was taken aback. I quickly opened the article and read it carefully twice. The article tells three short stories, each of which is a true story that happened around her. She recorded these stories through her own thinking and writing. The exquisiteness of writing and the originality of opinions are beyond my reach.

I met her for work reasons. As an office worker, purchasing office supplies is one of my duties, and she is a clerk in a stationery chain store. After several purchases, she happened to be the front desk, and her service was warm and thoughtful. She always helped me choose goods from my point of view. Because I often need to purchase office supplies, I left contact information with each other.

My company is not large. Generally, when traveling on business, it depends on the urgency of the matter. In non-emergency situations, I only go out when I have a few things to deal with. So when there is a need to purchase office supplies, I will call her in advance to see if there are any goods. She will carefully record them every time and prepare the goods for me in advance. If it is out of stock, she will ask me about the approximate arrival time, whether it is too late to adjust the goods and so on.

Because time is tight, I almost always go to the store to inspect the goods, verify the quantity, get the goods and pay, so I won't waste my time on constantly selecting goods. Every time she prepared in advance, everything seemed so natural, until one day, she told me that she was going to another store that had just opened. After she left, I can't consult her in advance before buying goods as before, so I can only go to the store to look for goods now, which feels like that. Sometimes you can't find someone who knows the ropes to consult (shop assistants are usually busy). Once I found a clerk and said I wanted to leave a phone number for consultation later, but I was told that there were regulations in the store that it was not convenient to give it. Alas, I feel something is wrong, as if something is missing. It was not until I saw this article written by her, "Your work enthusiasm hides your Excellence", that I suddenly understood that she has always had a rare enthusiasm.

I said this because I was deeply impressed by her uniqueness, and then I asked her some questions about writing. At present, he is mainly writing and a full-time writer. To tell the truth, I admire Sister Deng very much, not only because she can write and has a good literary talent, but even if she is only a small clerk now, I believe she will do well, because gold will shine wherever it is placed.

Of course, it's a bit of a hindsight to say this now, but sometimes people can't help but make the mistake of looking at people through colored glasses and look down on people because of their low career. This is something I should reflect on today!

Second, reflect on writing.

I am a science student. I was worried when I saw the composition "no less than 800 words", so I didn't like reading since I was a child. In recent years, I began to realize that people are poor not because their pockets are poor, but because their heads are poor. Eat when you are hungry, and read more when you are hungry. After reading a lot, there are many things in my mind that will make me uncomfortable if I don't write them out, so I gradually developed the habit of writing reading notes.

The real writing began at the end of last year, and most of it was my reading experience and my own thoughts and feelings. After I finished writing, I felt that it was not good. Up to now, most of my notes are still in my notes. In the process of writing, I am thinking, since I want to write, what should I get from writing? Someone else's identity? Or did it happen? For me, the more accurate reason is to make your language logic and knowledge structure more organized through writing. As a teacher said, learning to write will evolve into a species with more penetrating language.

Today, I think, if you want to start writing, there are several questions that need to be clarified, such as:

Why write? Want to realize knowledge? The dividend period of knowledge realization is about to pass. Is it necessary to continue? When there are so many excellent authors around, do you still insist on writing? Just make yourself a few whys.

If you don't think these questions clearly, you'd better not start, because this road is very long, the early stage will be very painful, there is no inspiration and material, and you don't know what to write. These are all problems.

After thinking about this problem clearly, I made up my mind to start. After learning and thinking, I learned the following questions. If you really want to start, you can also use it as a reference:

Before writing, you should recognize the reality and accept your clumsiness. If you can't write well, don't write? You're not going to continue without anyone watching, are you? There are no natural writers in the world, and the writers we know well have achieved today's achievements through decades of continuous writing and continuous thinking.

So, at first, I couldn't feel inferior because I saw others write better than me, because I just started. Even if I know, I should compare my future with their present. Compared with myself, I should be happy whether today is better than yesterday, because there are so many good authors. So I told myself to read more other people's articles, learn the characteristics of other people's writing, learn their strengths and use them in my own writing. When can I write such an article? "Confused and disappointed.

Secondly, to understand the importance of accumulation, since it has already begun, we must understand the truth that "there is no distance without accumulation, and there is no shortcut without accumulation".

Finally, learn to understand the compound interest effect and continue to be patient.

Einstein once said: what is more terrible than the power of the atomic bomb is the compound interest effect, which is the eighth wonder in the world. This is actually a concept in the field of investment (in fact, there are many related concepts to support the concept of compound interest, such as the 72 rule). Interested friends can go to Baidu or Wikipedia). In the field of investment, time is more important than timing, and this rule is also applicable in the field of writing, because the best time is now.

The real laws of social and economic operation are often very counterintuitive. For example:

Therefore, only knowing the real purpose of writing is the real beginning.

In fact, writing is not difficult at first, but our understanding of it is not very accurate. Each of us has had the experience of writing, such as writing daily or monthly work reports, our own study records and reading experiences, diaries and so on. These are actually writing, but we didn't exercise deliberately. But if you really want to do writing as a very important thing, you must have enough psychological expectations and preparation, because in the short term, it can hardly see any benefits, but in the long run, its compound interest effect is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Write at the end:

I think writing is a skill that everyone should learn, because I believe it is something that everyone can do through their own efforts. This sentence is also an encouragement to myself.

The above is just my personal thinking, for reference only!
