Story 1 of success due to interest: Don’t put closed shackles on your interest

< p> He was born in an ordinary worker's family in Yangquan County, Shanxi Province. Both parents are workers in a chemical factory. He has three older sisters and one younger sister. Among the five brothers and sisters, he is the only boy. His parents love him very much and want to cultivate him into a good family.

His father was a theater fan and often took him to the theater. When he was young, he was influenced by his father and fell in love with martial arts actors in opera. He imitated the moves in movies and operas, using sheets as a shirt and a rolling pin as a flower gun, practicing alone at home. Opera actors at that time were very prosperous. His father decided to train him to become a famous opera actor. That year, the County Jin Opera Troupe was recruiting people, and his father took him to sign up. Although he had no professional training, he showed the group leader a few tricks on the spot, and the group leader decided to admit him. However, he only stayed at the County Jin Opera Troupe for one day and left. The reason is that on this day his second sister received an admission notice from a university in Beijing. This notice caused quite a stir in Yangquan County. It turns out that going to college is more prestigious than being an actor. He decided to go to college. He returned to school and began his study career.

In the first half of the third grade of junior high school, he became obsessed with chess. At that time, there was a popular comic book in the school called "The King of Chess". This comic book was adapted from Acheng's novella "The King of Chess". He was infected by Wang Yisheng, the protagonist of "The King of Chess". He wants to be the chess champion. He bought a lot of chess records and specialized in studying chess. He is a smart child, and his chess skills have improved rapidly, and many adults cannot beat him. In order to find masters to play chess, he set up a chess stall on the street and played chess with others as soon as school was over. His father was secretly happy to see his son's chess skills getting better and better. He even used connections to get his son to become a chess player on a local sports team. However, just when his father's wish was about to come true, his interest shifted again. This year, my sister was admitted to the United States to study abroad at public expense. This good news stimulated him and brought his heart back to school again. In the second half of the third grade, he studied day and night, and was finally admitted to Yangquan County No. 1 Middle School with second place in the school.

When he was in high school, he wanted to be a computer software designer. At that time, computers were just emerging, and Yangquan No. 1 Middle School was equipped with a computer operation room. At that time, computers were not called computers, they were called computers. Because there were few computers and many students, the school established a computer interest group and he signed up. He was quickly attracted by the wonderful and rich pages on the computer Internet. He also designed a set of computer software himself and used this software to manage some of the school's work. This software caused a huge sensation in Yangquan No. 1 Middle School. However, just when he was ambitious to enter computers, his interest was shattered again. That year, Shanxi Province held the first computer operation competition for middle school students. He represented Yangquan No. 1 Middle School in the provincial competition. He hopes to regain a championship, even if it is a runner-up. However, he failed miserably in the competition. He didn't even finish the basic test questions, let alone design his own software.

This failure is unforgettable. When applying for the college entrance examination, he did not dare to apply for the computer major. Instead, he applied for the library and information search major at Peking University. Because he felt that there were too many masters in the computer major, and his starting point was too low, and he was incapable of surpassing them. Library and information search is an unpopular topic, and everyone is on the same starting line. However, when he came to Peking University, he realized that he was wrong. Because the students majoring in library and information search are all transfer students from other majors at Peking University.

After graduating from college, he wanted to study abroad in the United States like his sister. However, most of the publicly funded international students majoring in library and information search had graduated from graduate school, and he, as an undergraduate, was no match for them. He failed. At this time, the computer science major he applied for opened the door for him to study abroad, which really made him overjoyed. In this way, he came to the State University of New York at Buffalo to study abroad based on his previous interests, which opened the curtain for his future career.

His name is Robin Li, and he is the president of Baidu. In 2011, he ranked 95th on the Forbes Global Rich List with a net worth of US$9.4 billion, becoming the richest man in mainland China. His success comes from his interest. However, the success of his interest comes from having a generous and kind father.

Don’t put closed shackles on your interests. Children are children after all and they are growing and maturing. Interests often change with children's understanding. If Robin Li's father had forced him to follow his own interests, then Robin Li might have become a Jin Opera actor, a chess player, a writer, or nothing at all.

After graduating with honors from the Department of Economics and Mathematics at Harvard University, she joined a consulting company Observer Group works.

Two years later, she was already very good at work and was highly appreciated by her boss and popular with customers. However, she could not get happiness from this high-paying job.

In addition to her intense work, she often recalled the times when she was a teenager and went to her friends’ houses to play. At that time, when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she went to a classmate's house. A program in which a professor made desserts was playing on the TV in that classmate's house.

When she sees the unique pastries served, she can't help but say "oh". Her behavior attracted the attention of the pastry chef in the store. They had their first conversation, and she told him that although she worked in a consulting company, she was particularly interested in making pasta, and that was the best time for her.

In front of the chopping board, her eyes were bright and her cheeks were and became more rosy with excitement. The chef became her assistant, helping her deliver this and that.

The work was very hard. She had to work from four in the morning to midnight, six days a week, but she worked very hard. The pastries and desserts she made were very popular, and the store was crowded every day. Especially the "sticky bread" she made, which almost became the signature of the store. Many customers lined up early to taste it. If they were late, they would be deeply disappointed. Pity.

Story 3 of success due to interest: Follow your own interests

For a long time, he was only obsessed with his own interests. He studied the history of ancient Chinese life and seemed to want to Follow the path of a scholar. He likes to search for the life trajectories of ancient people from the cracks in the words, collect, verify, and even speculate and piece together a person's life history. He joked that he is studying? Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, cheating, abduction and stealing? These ten industries, there is no The real purpose is just to have fun. These studies gave him a wealth of knowledge. As for the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, he also spoke eloquently, as if he was a remnant of the previous dynasty. After ancient life history, his interest turned to modern urban history, and the life of "urban underground workers" led his interest to the history of the Chinese revolution. ?Follow your own interests and you will be very happy, at least you will not wrong yourself. ?He always says that.

In 1997, at the age of 37, he listened to the advice of his friends and switched to writing novels. He expressed the "interesting things" he discovered in historical research through novels. When he started writing the novel, he found that all the "sidelines" he had studied before were in preparation for the novel. Those casual knowledge and historical allusions became the vivid images and details in his story. At the same time, he integrated his observations on life and human nature obtained from history into the novel.

He writes slowly and leisurely. He believes that the novel will never be written in a hurry until it is absolutely necessary. When writing novels, although he felt quite satisfied when he was happy, in the end he still regarded writing as a happy thing to entertain others and himself. He never regarded his works as a kind of capital to show off in the market and gain something for himself. treatment.

In addition to writing, he has a lot of leisure time. Apart from reading, writing and playing with grass, he is also good at mixing cauldrons and cauldrons. Every year, he has to learn a craft, carving rockery, appraising antiques, etc. He learned everything, and even went to learn how to make ramen. He likes calligraphy, painting, and photography, and occasionally shows his friends the cooking skills he has practiced for many years. Everything can be done deliciously in his hands.

On the wall of his home was a copy of the Southern Song Dynasty painter Liang Kai's "Splash-Ink Immortal Picture". Friends who saw it said that the characters in the painting were like his caricatures, which made him very happy. I took a photo with the immortal in the painting and posted it on my blog, and wrote down my self-encouragement words seriously: "I look in the mirror and compare myself, I really hope they look alike." What I mean by "image" is not the appearance, but the desire to open up the barriers in the chest, let go of the mundane things in the hands, open up the mind, stretch the sleeves of the robe, wear barefoot shoes, and live out the unrestrained and unrestrained nature of the characters in the painting. Free and easy energy. ?

?Make yourself happy first? This is his way into writing, and it is also his attitude towards life. His writing life usually looks like this: he gets up in the morning, has breakfast, makes tea, listens to music, and doesn’t turn on the computer until after noon. Because of his bad cervical vertebra, he usually writes half-lying on the bed, with a teapot on his left and fruit on his right waiting for him. When he is in a good mood, he writes more, and when he is not in a good mood, he writes less or not at all. He seldom socialized and only met friends occasionally. When the weather is nice, he will use his car as a mobile study, driving from the north of the city to a small lake in the south of the city, reading books all day long. He believes that life is not only about success, but there is also real fun in the ordinary, and fun is the fuel and real motivation. If everyone has his own aura, his aura is gentle, comfortable, carefree and interesting.

His pursuit of intellectual details is also famous. When writing "Borrowing a Gun" in 2006, because his understanding of firearms was limited to written knowledge, in order to write accurately about the crooked gun borrowed by Xiong Kuohai, he went to the China Military Museum and gathered around the crooked gun. He took photos at the booth and pondered for a long time, and even the administrator began to pay attention to his actions.

Because daily life is very simple, the details of his novels come more from indirect life and historical books. However, he invented a set of alternative experience methods to conduct experiments. It is said that he is unusual because his method is really surprising. Before writing "Ancient Style", he discovered that not all underground party members have money to buy explosives. What should an underground party member without money do if he needs explosives? He can only make them himself. He wanted to verify it, so he bought two kilograms of nitrogen fertilizer and refined ammonium nitrate in his kitchen. Fortunately, the smell of the ammonium nitrate made his neighbors complain before it became solid. In "The Long March Recipe", which won the Belle Prize for Fiction for Chinese Writers, he wrote the story of a cook who had some medicinal skills. In order to make his leather shoes into swallowable dishes, he used his own medicinal food. The skill of Shifa Xiongzhao restored the glue of belts and leather shoes. In order to prove that it was indeed possible, he cut up a belt and a leather shoe and boiled them in a pot. However, I was lazy and used a pressure cooker. After cooking and tasting them, they were indeed edible. ?He smiled in amusement.

Previously, writing novels brought him almost no income, but the novels themselves brought him endless fun. He was obsessed with each novel, looking for unprecedented characters and structures. ?I am not a writer, I am a person who likes to tell stories. There are countless interesting stories in my life. ?He always regards writing stories as a process of finding fun.

In 2007, he wrote "Latent". In 2009, "Latent" was made into a TV series and appeared on the silver screen, becoming an instant hit. This broke his usual life. The sudden fame was like a huge stone thrown into the middle of a calm lake. He was at a loss for a time. Many film and television companies came to him. Some wanted to buy the rights to adapt his works, and some asked him to do it. Some screenwriters want to publish books for him. He sees the sudden popularity very clearly. It’s not me who is popular, it’s the TV series that is popular. I also benefited from it and gained fame in vain, but this fame is short-lived. ?Many people are concerned about his soaring net worth after becoming popular. He is very frank: ?To me, price is a meaningless thing, because I don’t have any extravagant hobbies and don’t have much need for money. What I want to do now is to concentrate on writing my works. ?

He always feels that whether "Borrowing a Gun" or "Latent", the real credit goes to director Jiang Wei. ?I am very lucky, both "Insidious" and "Borrowed Gun" are doing very well. Some novelists are not so lucky. ?

He is ?Long Yi?, whose original name is Li Peng. Since publishing his first novel "I am a Polo Player" in "Chinese Writer" magazine in 1998, he has been unable to stop and has written more than 3 million words of novels so far.

In such an era of impetuousness and unwillingness to be lonely, Long Yi has always carefully preserved his own taste and nature, not to be burdened by fame or enslaved by external things, as his pen name says In the realm of "hidden dragons, don't use them", no matter how the external environment changes, you can remain unaffected and maintain your own unique thoughts and ways of life.
