How to be a long-term activist?

I saw a sentence in a circle of friends the day before yesterday: As long as the trees planted ten years ago don't die, they will enjoy the cool one day. It is a common truth that our predecessors planted trees to enjoy the cool, or we planted trees ourselves to enjoy the cool. Why do few people plant a tree for themselves that can last for ten years from the aspects of study, sports and specialties?

A long time ago, I saw a news that there was a man abroad who took a photo of himself every day for ten years. This news was reported by many mainstream media and spread to many countries in the world.

There is a unit in our system, and the People's Daily has survived every day. It has been more than ten years, and it has been copied a lot, which has been well received all over the country.

These two stories, one about an individual and the other about a company, look as simple as "1". It seems that anyone can do it, but the reality is that few people can.

Reading 10 pages of books every day is also very simple, and it is only half an hour at most, which is equivalent to reading more than a dozen books a year. This sentence is chicken soup for people who can't read two books a year.

Choose a small field and practice it deliberately for ten years, and you can become an expert or even a top figure in this field, but few people do it.

Exercise every day, such as running, equipment, yoga, swimming, etc. Ten years later, there will definitely be great returns, but few people will stick to a sport for ten years.

Reading, studying and exercising will have results as long as they persist for a long time, and there are many simple things that will have results as long as they are done repeatedly. Why don't many people pick this visible fruit of successful drooping?

Recently, combining my own growth with people and things around me, I discovered the hidden secret and energy of the word "long".

Long-term activists, this truth is simple, but not everyone understands it. Most of us overestimate our efforts in one week and neglect our efforts in ten years.

One of my direct leaders left a deep impression on me. He said that some people build a building in three years, others build a thatched house in three years, or a building in the east and a building in the west. Do one thing for three years, do one thing, not everyone really understands this truth.

Shortsightedness is human nature. It is a truth to brush Tik Tok and eat melon seeds, that is, you can get timely feedback, which is why many people have been brushing Tik Tok and eating melon seeds.

It is human nature to like short-termism. How nice it is to earn a dollar. Strive for success tomorrow today, skip spring ploughing and harvest directly in Xia Yun.

But this kind of good thing, not everyone can meet, and it is not necessarily a good thing to meet.

When satisfaction needs to be delayed, many people lose patience and have to swallow the fat in their mouths first. Whether they are fat or not is another matter.

Myopia is a desire that many people cannot control.

Lying under the covers is certainly more comfortable than running; Watching TV and chatting is easier than reading. It is in this nature that many people have lost their long-termism.

The more material and spiritual people are, the less long they will last.

When a person can't grasp tomorrow, his only choice is to grasp today. This is what many people often say, live in the present.

This uncertainty and uncontrollability make many people lose their long-term vision. Trees planted ten years ago can only enjoy the cool if they don't die. Young saplings may be trampled by cattle when they are young. If it is bigger, it may be broken by the wind and snow, and it may be cut down in less than ten years.

That is, most people have a one-year plan, and few people have a ten-year plan. Because the times are changing so fast, I lack confidence in what will happen many years later.

The poorest people in the world also know the benefits of sending their children to college. The reality is that many children from poor families go to work after graduating from junior high school. After I finished junior high school, two-thirds of my class went to work in the south, because high school required tuition and the family had a heavy burden. Working early can reduce the burden on the family early.

In the eyes of the poor, sixpence at the foot is more precious than the moon in the sky. A precarious person is better than anything to live a good life today.

The poor put most of their resources in the present, and he has no extra time and money to invest in the future, which makes the poor poorer.

There is also a gap between the rich and the poor in a person's spiritual life. People who lack spirit pursue short-term sensory pleasure. People with rich spirit pursue long-term spiritual enjoyment.

People don't naturally become strict with the passage of time. Therefore, if you do something for a long time, you may not become a long-term activist.

Longevity is not a simple repetition. Just like you are not a gourmet after eating all your life, you are not an orator after speaking all your life, and you may not understand the simple truth after reading a lot of books. Longevity is not a simple iteration. Theoretically, an egg can be turned into a chicken farm, and more and more eggs give birth to chickens and chickens give birth to eggs, but it is not feasible in real life.

Longevity is not simply accumulation. Some people say that if I memorized 10 words every day ten years ago, now I write all the words in a dictionary, which seems trivial, but in the face of time, few people can do it.

Long-term activists need to know that it is difficult to do something for a long time, even if it is very small.

No goal can be achieved overnight. We should be positive, but don't worry. In this state, coupled with unremitting efforts, our goal can always be achieved. Without this clear understanding, don't talk about how to become a long-term activist.

I like photography very much, because he can freeze the time and see the traces of time from the photos. Once he took a photography class in Jie Hailong, and told us the case of shooting Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes in Project Hope. He also took many similar photos. He planned to pay a return visit ten years later when shooting. Later, we saw that these children were admitted to universities, found jobs and got married.

I think Xie Hailong has this concept of time. He is standing tomorrow to see today, standing on a high place to see life.

The strategic strength will go up again, which is confidence and belief. On the road of long-termism, you have only one reason to go on, but you will encounter 1000 obstacles and excuses.

Long-term activists should have clear goals and persistent struggle. * * * 13 people, and only He Dong finally boarded the gate. After He Shuheng, Chen Tanqiu, and Li died, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai, Zhang,, and Monks defected or left the Party one after another. The last five people must have repented. Why not go to the end?

After the defeat of the Kuomintang, Liu Renjing stayed in the mainland. 1982, near the playground of Beijing Normal University, an unexpected car accident ended the life of the old man. Maybe the driver never thought that he killed the only living representative at that time.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Bao Huisheng returned to Beijing to study the history of the party.

Fortunately, the two men lost their way, but when they came back, the long boat had gone far.

1600 years ago, a monk named Le Zun traveled to Dunhuang. I decided to stay and ask someone to dig a grotto in the mountain to practice. This is the first grotto in Dunhuang.

Over the next 1000 years, countless successors followed the model of Lezun and continued to dig caves, carve Buddha statues and draw murals. Locals call it the Thousand Buddha Cave, which is also the world-famous Mogao Grottoes.

The creators of the works handed down from ancient times in Mogao Grottoes are actually just ordinary craftsmen. However, ordinary craftsmen, every stroke they draw and every knife they carve, will disappear if they don't join this long river.

Some successful people around me, if you break down their life into daily life, actually lead a life similar to that of ordinary people, all of which are work, eating and sleeping.

If we live without a goal, we will be scattered for several years. When we concentrate on achieving a goal every day, those scattered days will accumulate into eternity of life.
