The example that impressed me the most in the process was physicist Feynman. Feynman told his sister: When a textbook is unreadable, read it from the beginning until you understand it. Then his sister finished reading the astronomy textbook of the university and became an astronomer.
This is a simple truth that everyone knows, but it is easier said than done.
Another example that impressed me the most was the pot of water that would never boil.
Repeatedly burn, rushed to 50-60 degrees, 70-80 degrees, but turned off, waited for a while to cool, then started again, and gave up halfway through the burn.
This is the epitome of most people's lives.
I think we may need to re-understand the word persistence.
Everything that needs to be adhered to will not be adhered to in the end. Persistence is the accident of life, and persistence is the normal state of life.
The teacher's class gives me the feeling that if the method is right, you may insist that you don't need to master it deliberately, because persistence itself may mean laziness in the method.
Maybe it's not that we don't insist enough, but that the method is wrong. If you can keep doing one thing, the reason must be not so simple.
A while ago, Wan Weigang's column was also talking about the concept of an optimist. Once the method is right, he becomes an optimist and masters the fun of learning. Things can be done naturally without persistence.
In the course of the course, I also came into contact with many practical examples. Basically, learning still needs to run out of a benign closed loop, just like doing business, there must be a workable and profitable model. If you lay a good foundation at first, the probability of positive feedback all the way is high and easy. If you can't fight hard, it's the bean curd residue project, and you can't continue later.
The road to simplicity is difficult to practice. The key is not to be greedy, but to pay attention to practical results.
