Growth and reflection on mantou's blog

I no longer want my blog to be a display cabinet

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I recently realized that the most dangerous state for a personal blog is not having no readers.

It is preserving the past without influencing the future.

An article gets written, published, and archived. A finished project goes into the portfolio. Years later, those things can still show:

I once thought about these questions and made these things.

But if a published article never affects a later judgment, and a finished project never makes the next undertaking easier, the blog is essentially an increasingly polished filing cabinet.

Turning reading into useful work: my standards for five books

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I do not want to count finishing five books in their original English as completing the task. This checklist sets the standards for my learning plan: each book should leave me with something I can use, test, and review.

Six questions for every piece of work

I will check each learning outcome against these six questions:

Problem: What real problem did I start with?
Input: What new model did the book give me?
Application: Where, specifically, did I apply it?
Evidence: What shows that it made a difference?
Limitations: What remains unresolved?
Artifact: What have I made that I can keep using?

I will update the checklist below as my reading progresses.

A little more clarity

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800

And to this day, I’m not really going to be able to give Git even a decent percentage of what it really is. If my understanding of “Git” (which is a complete record of all the frameworks and details of my past, it is theoretically an electronic handwritten notebook), is correct, then this “written platform” of Obsidian will be perfect for its own real and immediate needs: continuous and iterative needs. In the afternoon, an unwitting attempt was made to suddenly discover that the original text of my past could actually be imported into a system where I could more clearly document and combe my own perception of the concept and the connection between it and the concept. Although it does not seem that Git roll back (not yet seen), they provide a visual and clear vision of what they think is the same or the same thing. All of a sudden, it seems like my eyes have been shined again! As a result, in the following days, all projects of their own for the production category suddenly became classable and iterative. So the original Notion notes will become the past in a logical way. The next day, the next day, the work became almost more meaningful. Recently caught in a trap that token didn’t have enough, but it came to the realization that it was just the inevitable result of his failure to think about it. Well, how do we do that? Or the four words: Get ready.

Sweet pain.

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Why you? Why did I choose you?

Get ready.

Lack of flexibility

It’s not very specific, it’s very general, it’s very different.

I’m not confident. I’m afraid.

These are the bloodiest feedbacks received during today’s interview. It can be said that it was very frustrating to receive these feedbacks. But then again, it’s kind of like a slap to wake me up, and it’s so awful what you’re doing here. This sentiment has been with me for a long time, and it even gave me the idea of jumping from the 9th floor. This time, the idea seems to be stronger than before. But it’s a funny idea, as if you’re so vulnerable. But it’s scary, and it’s just like this, and now it’s like a panic.

As answers get cheaper, decisions get more expensive

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800

From opening ChatGPT for the first time in late 2022 to today, I am now in my fifth calendar year of using AI.

As someone who has lived with it from the beginning, the more I use it, the more amazed I am—and the more afraid.

What increasingly frightens me is the people who are better at using it than I am.

Without a doubt, that is the scariest horror-movie plot I can currently imagine…

Sunday: hazy, yet clear

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Last night’s sleep was not very early, but thanks to the sleep of the night before yesterday, it was so good that today’s sleep allowed for a learning retour. Honestly, it’s no big deal. Instead of living with the worst, but somewhat acceptable, reality from time to time, so that we can accept it in a painful way. It is as if we are being taught that life is still a promise, but that more needs to be experienced before we are able to enjoy it in a way that is contrary to our wishes.

8.1

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800

One of the most painful things I’ve ever had since I passed the exam. Even though he has slept and wakes up, he wakes up again and is still in pain. If the lyrics were to be depicted, it would be “beautiful bubbles, like sparks of fire for a second”. At this point, this “Fame” by Tang Purple is the most appropriate song to describe what I feel in my heart. I can see the same pain I suffered, and Tang has experienced it many years ago.

Accident.

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Perhaps today’s mood is better described in the following words to friends:

Thank you for staying with me this afternoon!

I’m really sorry for bringing you the unhappiness. I’ve been trying to adjust my emotions, but it was a little hard at the time…

But I thought, maybe this is the one chance that God has set for us! Let’s have more follow-up!

Either way, standing on the side of a coin is always more visible. Although the accident happened so cruelly, I was not afraid. Because something like “bad” is not the first and never the last.

A few rambling thoughts

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It’s probably a high psychological effect tonight, causing me to be too worried, and it’s like 4jh, 7m, has been holding his face tight all day. How you look at yourself, you can actually feel it very clearly without looking in the mirror. And while leaving friends, surprised to learn that now he’s in the eyes of an outsider looking like a “bad man”? If this conclusion is true, that is, in the view of the majority, I think it is time to reflect on myself. The problem is serious and should not be taken lightly.

An unusual Monday

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It is only when you leave that you are comfortable, and it is only when you are free from your heart that you can return to what you already have. The outsiders don’t know what they’re in. How can they not know? So that’s the only way to know about it. How can you write a post or post yourself to someone else? The post is out there, at best to see how the outside world reacts to itself in that state of affairs. Where to find value and where to seek answers, it has to be found internally.

Keeping my body clock on track

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It’s been a long day! I don’t know. I don’t know. I can’t open my eyes. I’m curious what it’s like to go to work tomorrow. Feels like it’s gonna be a disaster, so it’s better to sleep early tonight.

Seems the biggest challenge today is to sit patiently at the computer table and carefully direct your computer, vibe coding, which lasts almost five hours! It can be said that it is a painful process, after all, that a full-scale in-depth examination of computers has been going on for three days.

Sooner is better than later

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I met with an old friend today and we had an afternoon chat. Although much is hard (i.e., more serious), it seems to have become part of the conversation that will take place when we meet. While I also had some more important intentions for this afternoon, when he came a long way to ask me if I had the time, I did everything I could to remove the arrangements that might have been made to meet him. So for me, whenever he comes to me, I’m in a state of time. This is a kind of necessary and sensible soft arrangement, especially when it comes to its own vicissitudes.

I don't know...

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

When you sleep, you sneak away from your already sleepy and frightened feelings, and when you wake up, there’s nothing to frighten you, except the scary rain outside the window. So, in order to prevent possible heavy rains on the road, I chose to take the subway instead of stepping on a bicycle to work. So my day began in this context.

This morning’s work went well, and all of the rejections were there. That’s what we expected! What should I say? In fact, it’s a very normal situation, because you’re working too early, so you don’t have any clients. It’s been waiting for a long time before a client can add up. Sometimes that is the case, and you want to do even one small thing on your own, it seems far from enough, requiring a combination of factors.

Face the challenge.

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I suddenly found myself having a problem that seems to be known as “permanent”: every weekend before I go to work, I’m very worried about the fact that I’m going to work the next day. After I told my friends about my suffering, he also clearly identified his possible problems: there was no positive feedback or fear of something. To be honest, I have both at the same time…

Two things today:

Deciding on a career

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today, like meat, isn’t it a revenge to eat something “unconventional” to make up for the sufferings of the past few months? It can be repeated from the actual situation at the time, when it was not trying to restrain itself, but rather a set of practices that were close to “corresponding to nature”. Eating is the only way to get rid of it, and you can walk and never take a ride.

Word Count Problem

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

For the last three days, it’s like being overstretched. It’s always heavy. It’s always not nice. One of the most obvious reasons for this is that you know it. That’s the problem of sleep. It’s kind of affecting your work and life the next day. At the same time, he realized that he had a bad thing to do: he often did things on a random basis and without taking time into account, thus making it impossible to balance much of his own. So there are things that need to be weighed, and it is important to know the priorities.

It turns out that starting is not the hardest part

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Turns out, the hardest part is never the beginning.

It’s been a long time since the article was updated, but it’s not over. On the contrary, it is more meaningful and meaningful than it has been in the past. It’s just that at this stage I’m suddenly “intimidated” by a new discovery.

What?

It is in the process of achieving a long-term goal that is theoretically achievable that the hardest part is not the beginning, but the small group that ends.

This day

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I almost forgot to write my diary. Today’s diary needs to be written earlier, because there is something going on at night, and it does not want to delay sleeping time because of the diary. To be honest, last night’s barbecue was good for rabbits, and the rest was really normal. Although dinner had already taken place last night, there was a sense of humiliation. The final conclusion was that there was no need to be greedy about “good” prices to eat in a small shop that was completely unknown. Because the service is usually poor and your money is not efficient.

Is our attention being harvested?

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today is the book of the greatest salesman in the world, holding up my spiritual world, and while sleep is still not good enough, it is better than the day before. It has also created new opportunities and possibilities for itself by finding new channels for their clients. At the end of the day, it was in excess of all its tasks this morning. Now think about it, every day before doing it, it’s all a bit of a reluctance, but every time you do it with a hard head, it’s really the way to go.

Keep the warning bell ringing

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Over the past week, he himself had achieved a great deal in weight loss, not only by re-establishing weight loss, but also by breaking the current body loss. So a lot of voices began to appear:

Like, “You’re skinny, you don’t have to lose, you’re so handsome!” I’ve heard such praises lately, but I really want to know what I’m doing in my heart. Nothing matters until the goal is achieved. To go further, the closer it is to the target, the more it is to test its resolve and its sense of purpose!

Thoughts on the Dragon Boat Festival

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

From yesterday to today, I made a lot of plans and actions. The reading of the Bible was successfully completed today. At the same time, I started new plans for other things of my own. The first thing to bear the brunt is my own diet plan: in view of the current difficult weight bottleneck period, I have to be extremely meticulous in the details of every meal every day. What do you eat for each meal? How many grams do you eat? Are there any changes required? What specific details are different? Why? Wait, you must not be sloppy or even vague. At the same time, how should you control your daily exercise? How much exactly? You still need it and you should demand it from yourself. Create a corresponding calorie gap to better reduce weight and BMI.

Thoughts on Barbecue (Dragon Boat Festival)

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I originally planned to eat some rice dumplings to celebrate the festival symbolically. I definitely need to add something here: Due to the timing and some unpleasant discriminatory treatment, I did not receive the Dragon Boat Festival gift package from my previous company and my current company. To be honest, I really feel uncomfortable. I have always paid attention to the sense of ritual, but under today’s circumstances, I felt extremely discouraged. There is quite a lot of anger inside, especially towards the former company. HR asked me if I would join the company for a third time, and I said absolutely not. This time I didn’t hesitate at all. Even though almost a month had passed, my answer was still the same, even more decisive!

The night before street outreach

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I finished the theoretical test today, so starting tomorrow, I need to do some ground pushing work. That is to say, visiting customers at their homes, and being accompanied by an elderly person to walk through the entire work process! I’m quite looking forward to it, but since it’s my first time doing it, I can’t help but have some worries and concerns. I fully understand and accept this state of affairs, but I still have to do the procedures of the actions I should do in order to truly master what I have learned!

Charm

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today, it ends successfully! To be an excellent salesperson, the first thing you need to do is to be a spirited person. Although everyone faces the same customers, it is easier for customers to close deals with a certain salesperson. There are many reasons for this, but the most important and core one is the person’s personality charm. In fact, after I meet a large number of people on a part, I am more willing to interact with someone more if they are of the same gender (of course, I am not gay). It’s like he has personality perfume sprayed on him, and he likes to get close to him.

Look again

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I sorted out some ideas about my main tasks and found that too many things I had done before were of low priority. So my thoughts changed and I began to reconsider whether it was necessary to delete my daily diary. Later I realized that it didn’t seem necessary. Because I only need to compress the daily boring emotions as much as possible to almost nothing, and do a good job in the professional skills, English learning, overseas job opportunities, asset allocation and content accumulation that I really need. That is the part that is more worth doing every day.

Her

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

This morning’s exercise was delayed by about 20 minutes because he was really not up. Maybe it’s a sleep problem! I dare not, I have done what I should have done this morning.

The interview results were presented today and, as I had anticipated, I received a more interesting job offer. However, this is not the most valuable thing to record, but the most important thing to record is that one of the girls who used to care about us at the university set our relationship as a chat-only state. When I first realized that, I found her in another college student’s community of friends and opinion. Her comments suddenly reminded me of her, and it was only then that I found out I couldn’t look at her in her friend’s circle.

Matthew effect

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I went to learn about a sales position in the AI field. The entire company is indeed very large, but the company’s products are just like the products of other companies I have encountered in the past, which makes me not interested. Since almost all companies do this, the disadvantages of their products are less obvious. But the interesting thing is that the sales method this time is mainly through electronic sales. Although I can’t say I’m disgusted, due to the limitations of my past knowledge, I do find this kind of work difficult to do, and it can easily destroy people’s fighting spirit. But is this the case? After the interview, I also paid special attention to the working status of the company’s telemarketing employees. It turned out that it was not as passionate as I originally imagined, but the extremely calm voice of sales calls filled the room, which was no different from my usual state of making phone calls. They said that if they want to achieve their basic salary, there are KPI requirements. But I really don’t know how difficult it is to achieve the KPI. Maybe it won’t be too difficult to achieve? After all, the sound of the phone in their lobby may have corroborated this…

Matthew

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I sorted out my diet and fitness work plan. This part is where I spend the most time and energy. Because it is quite complicated, involving the entire process from diet to exercise, and it is also the most energy-consuming. After finishing these parts, I had lost all my strength and energy. After going to the supermarket to buy groceries, I came back with a face full of exhaustion and tiredness. It was raining lightly outside at the moment, and the eaves were filled with pedestrians and tourists waiting for the rain to stop. And I walked into the rain without any scruples, heading towards the bus stop not far away…

Stay safe

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Following yesterday’s topic, today we will implement the topic of “security” from theory to practice. It took less time than I thought because it wasn’t difficult or complicated to do. But it did take more time than originally planned, because I didn’t expect that I would need to consider so many details just thinking about the backup machine! For example, when you decide to choose an Apple mobile phone, in view of cost-effectiveness considerations, you also need to consider the differences between refurbished phones, brand-new phones, and second-hand phones. Because the focus of my consideration is: ① Long-term security updates > ② Hardware security architecture > ③ Reliability > ④ Cost > ⑤ New obsession. Therefore, I can’t help but focus on the details of choosing a second-hand machine like Zhuanzhuan, rather than obsessing over the most perfect pursuit of a brand-new machine. In the end, I decided to buy a second-hand iPhone 13 Mini model as a backup phone.

Growing new skills out of disappointment

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Yesterday, my phone froze just looking at it, and then shut down directly after more than ten seconds. When I pressed the restart button again, it couldn’t be turned on at all. Subsequently, many methods were tried, including but not limited to trying various forced boot methods. After finally confirming that the problem was with the motherboard of the mobile phone in a mobile phone store, my heart finally dropped. Because the most troublesome thing is the motherboard problem, it is also the most expensive. But considering not to be limited by one word, I finally chose to go to Samsung’s official after-sales store for consultation the next day.

The current situation is limited by past choices

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I actually couldn’t sleep last night, so I didn’t fall asleep until after one o’clock in the morning without realizing it. So the alarm clock sounded very frequently this morning. When I finally couldn’t stand the noise anymore, I opened my eyes and turned them off, only to realize that it was almost 10 o’clock. Feeling a little hesitant and nervous, I hurriedly got up and started washing myself to prepare for the new day.

A bowl of instant noodles

Sun, 31 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

The main theme today is to continue learning foreign languages, because last night and recent experiences really made me realize the importance of a second language! In addition to foreign languages, it is to cultivate your own interests. I bought a badminton racket and plan to play offline with my friends every week and communicate. Of course, for better communication, it is also necessary to practice badminton skills to the most professional level. So looking back, it seems that I definitely need a weekend job to ensure my basic expenses. If possible, work, foreign language learning and playing badminton can be done at the same time. At present, I think this state is the goal I want to pursue next. So I can make whatever I need and like based on my life stage, and then share it. In this case, the depth of research and sharing is top-notch, and you won’t have to worry about not making money.

Or is it an illusion?

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Giving me as much time and attention as possible gave me extremely valuable space for reflection. In this state, the more important things that I had temporarily given up on now seem to have the urgency to pick them up quickly and think about them seriously. For example: foreign language learning, reconstruction of healthy diet and development of self-media.

In just half a day today, I quickly remembered many important things. At the present moment, they seem so important and urgent. For example, I need to read the Bible for the first time quickly. I will also reconstruct Japanese and English learning. The daily diet structure needs to be redesigned. When you figure out what you want to do, you will find something to do.

How sound are the standards behind your value judgments?

Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I have a day off tomorrow. During my rest day, I hope I can have a good rest and relax completely. I will not open the work group, and I will not serve the customer group information. There is really too much content that I need to learn by myself, and I also need to stop completely on the day tomorrow and not think about it with too many worries. After all this is done, it is normal. If some abnormal things happen while walking on such a normal road, then I will still accept them seriously. Because you need to have your own value standards, and some things require some bottom-line thinking.

Growth with a vengeance!

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

This week when I had a day off, I didn’t feel like I wanted anything interesting or in a high-emotion state. It was just mediocre, like the calm water surface. What’s so fun? I think it should be after I go to work tomorrow, and I can upgrade and fight monsters for five days before I can freely choose more places to work. Not being able to meet my friends from last week this week seems to be one of the reasons why this weekend is uneventful! Of course, it seems now that that is just the beginning.

Is the action correct?

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

After thinking about it, it seems that I can do a very good job at what I am doing. The key is that you need to have a belief: you have the confidence to live the life you imagined. And what that appearance is is actually the appearance of oneself in order to the universe. That look needs to be more specific, the more specific the better!

Imagine yourself in three months. You no longer need to look at the price when drinking coffee, and you no longer need to worry about the price when eating. At that time, I had a thorough grasp of industry knowledge. My boss desires me, my clients depend on me, my colleagues respect me, and my friends love me. How did you feel at that time? In fact, all the pain now comes from not having enough time and energy to devote.

Others are mirrors

Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today has been quite urgent and rushed, and I don’t like this feeling. But when I think about it more carefully, I realize that the reason why I feel this way is because there are too many things and they are too complicated. I couldn’t take care of myself and had to take care of other people’s affairs. As a result, I didn’t finish my own affairs and almost missed the last train. But I will recall that the recipient who has been complaining that he has not done well is not the current self or the past tense self? I was patient and furious with the careless person across from me. I am patient because I am really helping the other person, and angry because the other person is not only wasting his time, but also wasting my time. So I couldn’t help but have a more comprehensive understanding of my past self, and I began to understand my leader and boss better, and I began to hate my past self even more for not being motivated and often lazy.

Struggle to grow every day

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

This morning’s alarm clock was at 7:00, 7.05, 7:10, 7:15 … It continued to ring, and every time I tried to get myself to sleep, I finally got up at 7:45. To be honest, there were a million reluctant and a million ideas that wanted to give up. As he rises up, he wonders why yesterday he was so passionate, and vows to make an effort like “opening the sky”. Because it’s not easy, it’s hard. Because this change is a relatively long moment, at least not something that can be done once one reason is understood. Because it’s not just childish, but it’s pretty easy to make a move. It is good that my position has been adjusted relatively quickly, and I did not have the choice to escape in the face of the inescapable challenges of life. At least in this respect, I have overcome myself and chosen to confront the difficulties. Although their own problems are so much exposed to colleagues, they are very willing to help me point them out and to help me get through it. I’ve done a lot of things so weak that I didn’t mean to do it, but I’ve had a huge bug in my past. In the afternoon, my boss summoned me to the office alone to analyze my problems, which, through a few simple questions, gave me a clear sense of my problems. And that’s exactly where they’re most neglected in the daytime. Ten minutes of communication led me to discover not only the level of incompetence, but also the level of near-zeroness in my input and handling. When I realized that I was here, I cried a few tears right in front of the scene. I’ve been growing up every day in the past week. And it grows with a strong sting each time. It has made me aware of the reasons for past failures, while at the same time yelling at me to speed up the pace of improvement. Perhaps that’s the most real social beating I’ve ever seen, so I understand the existence of social Darwinism. Every single day last week was a happy day for its success. Every day, my nerves are high, and every detail is taken seriously. I wish I could hold on and do it every day!

From now on, morning exercises will be suspended

Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I took a day off today, mainly to adjust my mentality. Now that the day has almost passed, looking back from the current perspective, I will find that my thoughts a day ago were so childish and immature. Mainly manifested in: having both wants and needs, and unstable mentality. Not understanding what the current main task is, and arrogantly trying to do as much as possible while neglecting to do the necessary things. For example, what is your most important thing at the moment, that is work. Until you do your best work, nothing else matters.

Changing

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I have a day off tomorrow. In fact, this break has made me panic a little. While thinking about maximizing time utilization, I was also thinking about how to arrange the next day’s affairs as quickly as possible. Because I really know how precious this day is, and I must cherish it. However, after communicating with my class leader this afternoon, I discovered that I am still quite tired. In the final analysis, it’s just that I’m mentally tired, and my mentality is not correct, which makes me too physically tired. So after my direct boss discovered this, he decisively approved my leave. I think it’s pretty good, I have an extra day off! Then adjust your mentality and sort out your heart carefully so that you can work better in the future.

Continuing to work on myself

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It seems to be a wise choice for people to say what they say at what stage. For example, when you first start working in a new company, what is the most important thing? That is the most important thing is to lower your waist, lower your head, and work hard to seriously ask and learn from your seniors. Because the most important thing for me right now is to study. You have to learn everything. If you really want to make a career and really don’t want to regret it in the future, you have to do this. I can’t have any complaints, because I am doing this in order to live a more decent life in the future, that is, to live the life I want. Not to mention, you can still get money while doing things and learning. After all, there is nothing more satisfying than having money and growing at the same time.

mantou's work notes

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It seems that I don’t like being assigned fixed things to do by others. It’s not that I make judgments subjectively so rashly, but it’s the same whether I do it actively or passively. Why? When I do things assigned to me by others, I tend to get anxious and make mistakes. Since I am just starting out, I really need to face these difficulties head-on. Of course, this could also be my own hallucination. How could there be so many impossibilities? Most of them are imagined. As long as you are willing to pay for whatever you want to be, you can still achieve it.

Learning from the experience of others

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

1.Choose first, act later.

The outstanding achievements that Lei Jun and Zhang Yiming have achieved so far are all the result of the blessing of the times. After all, a person is so small that no matter how hard he works, without the blessing of trends and the empowerment of the development of the times, he will be unlikely to achieve more impressive results. This methodology is not only applicable to a certain enterprise, but also to an individual.

This day

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today’s day is, after all, a day of rest. Although today’s network is still very poor, I learned a lot of new knowledge in AI, drones, finance and other track fields during this day. Suddenly I realized that in addition to patience that needs to be cultivated in a person’s life, improving cognition is also an indispensable component. All the wealth we ultimately possess is indeed dug out of time, and in the final analysis it is the result of the realization of our own cognitive bodies.

Awareness

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I started to feel irritable and anxious again, just like I was in the same state every time I made a big change. Today is still similar to yesterday. When I accidentally saw that the time had reached 5:10, I hurriedly rushed to write my blog post today. I am quite satisfied with my work today, and I have basically overfulfilled my task today. At this point, most of the content is basically completed, and some necessary and solid foundations have been laid for the subsequent changes.

My world

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I continued to study today. I learned it in a full-day format. I also performed minesweeper mode on the area that I had blurred yesterday. The overall effect is quite good. The only flaw is that yesterday’s sleep was poor, which affected today’s reading and note-taking work. It is really annoying that I can’t concentrate. But this is what happened. Now that it has happened, we can only do things according to the current state: after briefly doing a note-taking part, I ended my work during the day. Because the more important task is tonight: getting a good night’s sleep to recover.

I don't care, I want it

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

The biggest gain today comes from this seemingly “careless” class this morning. It was finished in less than a few minutes, and the most important lesson in my life so far was completed.

It was a class about teaching how to achieve a goal. After the teacher briefly explained the methodology, he analyzed the most practical case that he had done. He told me how he used this methodology to completely master Japanese and achieve native-level proficiency. He also gave an example of making money and showed me how he used a notebook to help him achieve his goals. While I was looking at it stupidly but carefully, I couldn’t help but give the teacher a thumbs up.

A radically minimalist individual

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Every time I pass by a “MUJI” store while shopping, I always go in and have a good browse, even if I am in a hurry.

It is so obsessed with it that it is deeply convinced by its corporate culture. I bet if there are many aspects to its business culture, then the idea of a simple priority must belong to one. In fact, people who have been at a shop without a print can easily sense its simplistic and white design. Its name is actually the original term: unprinted Japanese means “a good commodity without a brand” and it was born in 1980 in a paper-drunk gold fan. At that time in Japan, at the peak of history, people were affected by the wind of luxuries and luxuriousness in their pursuit of big cards and luxury goods. And this one, which started out as a wholesale commodity, has been able to grow to the transnational level that it is today, with so much expansion based on its original concept of “anti-branding”.

Continuous iteration

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:00:00 +0800

Today’s work is actually directed towards the questions raised in yesterday’s article. Under the new reminder structure, priority reflection work was carried out on those key items. To be honest, today’s workload is much greater than yesterday’s, but this is mainly reflected in the magnitude, because I have already completed most of the quality-related parts in yesterday’s work. Today, we rely on what seems to be “batch operations” to do higher-quality things based on higher-quality gems.

The first day of Qingming holiday

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 22:46:00 +0800

As soon as the weekend comes to rest, I give priority to thinking about what I will do and learn the next day, and I never think about how to play or relax myself. As time went by, I became a person who would not take a break and the boundary between working days and rest days was blurred to the point where when it was time to relax, I became clumsy. The whole person looked a little dull. Specifically, his movements were somewhat deformed. So now it seems that I have deviated from my original intention, and gradually lived a life that I hate… (It is really bad to not understand the way of life)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Recently, I have become more and more aware that there are countless people from grass-roots teams around me, and they have the nerve to brag about just being trash. I didn’t quite understand it at first, but as time went by, I started to understand it.

The saying “Talk less, observe more” continues to gain traction. For most people, the best way to better understand who they are is to speak less and do more. Because it is easy to reveal your IQ when you open your mouth, and it is easy to leave an “unreliable” impression on others, so your possibilities will be greatly reduced; doing more is exactly the opposite. When you are not talking, your brain has the opportunity to turn on the scrutiny switch, so that you have the opportunity to focus more on yourself. At the same time, when you shut up, you also have more opportunities to observe the people around you, so that you can have a clearer understanding and judgment of your own situation.

3.23

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I had some troubles yesterday, and I tried to digest them by writing an article. This writing actually took up a lot of time for what I originally had to do, so my sleep last night was naturally delayed a lot. As a result, when I woke up the next day, I could almost be said to be slightly depressed. During the morning reading session, I can say that my efficiency was really not that high, let alone any gains. But no matter what, yesterday’s output did leave some valuable “legacy”. In line with this situation, I took advantage of the situation and chose to finish them one by one today…

A big change

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

As time goes by, you will find that the person you didn’t understand when you were a child turns out to be that person unintentionally.

When I was a child, or when I was not very old, I would often get entangled with someone older than me, asking him to play with me and make trouble with me. At that time, when we were having fun, we would be suddenly interrupted by the other party’s “silence”. For example, the other party suddenly had a call to answer, so the “little adult” who was playing with me just now suddenly changed back to what I didn’t like to see: a serious and tense face, a boring “adult look”. Because of this, after I lost my “playmate” all of a sudden, I returned to a boring state where I could only play with myself…

How to understand introversion in the AI era?

Snapping turtle and me

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

My recent mood is like the undulating mountain rain in early spring. Sometimes it is cloudy, and sometimes there is a glimmer of light. It is changeable but also has a vague background that has gone through thousands of sails - overall it is tending to be stable. When a person reaches a certain stage, his mind is no longer as easily frightened and provoked by the external environment as a wild horse. Living in this huge social container, we are experiencing all kinds of helpless setbacks every day. Sometimes it’s a complicated job with no clue, sometimes it’s the unspeakable subtle gaps in interpersonal relationships, or it’s the sudden self-doubt that strikes in the dead of night.

3.17

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

At present, we need to seriously integrate the specific work to be done next, so I chose to divide them into the following parts:

Language category: Practice Japanese, Spanish, French and Arabic according to quarter level. At the same time, English learning must be done around the clock, such as daily financial report analysis in English originals, communication with AI in English, accurate English originals, etc.
Input category: Daily Bible reading requires at least one hour of concentration every day, just to complete the task on schedule. At the same time, heavy reading requires at least half an hour of concentration every night.

3.16

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

After I woke up this morning, I felt much more energetic. Especially during the morning reading period, my memory and brain power were significantly improved. The main reason for this state is that I fell asleep early last night. Compared to myself a day ago, I am like this, and I am at least an hour ahead of schedule. Although the time of this day is still very random, this direction is actually correct. As for the past inconsistent tests, I have come to such a conclusion.

A fulfilling day

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

At night, I dreamed that I was walking in goose. The police officer asked me to raise my head and hold on, but when I woke up, I found that I had been bitten by mosquitoes 😅

Today started from such a dream. In the morning, after I got up an hour earlier than yesterday, I went all out to read Japanese in the morning. The process of doing it is also very strict, and it is strictly implemented according to some rules: the Pomodoro method is used to train the brain in chunks. There is no rest time in between without looking at the phone or computer. The whole time is spent walking indoors just to really rest. During the training process, it is also carried out strictly according to the actions repeated in a short period of time, and never practice randomly because of self-impression. In this way, my training lasted for an hour and a half, which was a huge improvement compared to yesterday!

I seriously suspect that I have a tendency to be a workaholic

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

(Let’s start at about 16:00)

After having paid for an AI, I’m almost free for a day. Every day, busy and AI researches the feasibility of their ideas, and because they have too many ideas in their minds, it leads to too many questions each day to ask AI. While many ideas are perjured, there are also many interesting ideas that have been put into practice, which have led to a much higher level of overall efficiency from the bottom.

The philosophy gained from eating fried dough sticks

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

This is the day after Women’s Day and another Monday working day. I don’t have any resistance or reluctance towards the arrival of this day, but rather a willing thought that it should be like this. Because starting from this Monday, I will make many, many changes, and I will also need to iterate my work or study process as quickly as possible. Therefore, I started working much earlier this morning because I really knew how many important things I had to do as soon as possible.

Crazy input!

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I originally went to the company’s new location to check out the environment, and the journey was extremely long. However, halfway through, the person in charge of the company simply said there was no need to go. So I immediately took the subway back and ran to have lunch.

So the next path was all traceable. After lunch, I ran to the cafe, and sat there drinking cup after cup of coffee all afternoon. Then during my lunch break, I spent the entire afternoon listening to the one-hour recording and retraining of the 8 lesson.

Thoughts after twenty-four hours

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Perhaps I worry the most right now, about low salary, poor job performance, excessive financial pressure, etc. As a result, my mentality has been very bad over the past whole day because of this. But looking back now, nothing has changed. What it should be like or what it should be has always existed objectively. So when I realized that I had almost “wasted” a day in a struggling manner. To say that I have no regrets is a lie.

Thoughts in the office

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today is my second day in Guangzhou. Sitting at my workstation, I looked at the Pearl River out the window with a sense of melancholy. Facing the current situation without any work arrangements or goals, it seems that I have almost nothing better to do at the moment except to deal with it quietly. Say you are worried, that is true; say you are not worried, it seems true. It was as if I was in the state before I was about to start doing something new, and now I had reached the critical point of a certain state.

Choice determines investment results

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

It seems that since a long time ago, I have had an extremely strong mentality. Of course, this concept of Mu Qiang may also be somewhat different from the current mainstream concept of Mu Qiang.

|For example, my performance of being strong is: In the financial market, I am stronger than the leading companies in various sectors. For example, Starbucks in the coffee world, Tesla in the electric car, NVIDIA in the AI field, and Bitcoin in the digital world. And this logic only comes from the Matthew effect that I preset for myself a long time ago, and with constant personal verification, I realize that it is becoming more and more correct.

Another day setting up “Lobster”

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Four years ago, I started reading the book “Self-Study is a Craft”: for me, this was the first introductory book on programming languages in my life. This book is well written, and I worked hard at it. In the past four years, I have read the book completely and thoroughly more than four times, and practiced it six times and more. The study of those contents lasted almost throughout my entire college life. Although I didn’t know what the use was before I started learning, I was absolutely 200% certain that the significance of this learning process would be huge and the impact would be far-reaching, both for me in the future and for my entire family in the future…

This damn feeling of growing up

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

In these four days, what I did most was chatting with openclaw. Not only use it as a substitute for ordinary chatting, but also use it as a tool to enhance the atmosphere of the group chat. Apart from that, even chatting with Gemini and chatting about all kinds of things didn’t bother him. The other party was not only professional, but also very patient. That kind of professionalism is like a hexagonal warrior’s professionalism, and that kind of patience is also an all-round professionalism.

New Year's Day: The first day of the new year!

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

If you suddenly get some spare money one day, what will you do with your money? To take this a step further, if you suddenly had a whole block of free time, how would you arrange your time?

Before answering this question, I must calm down for a while before answering. Because before this, I had not thought about and examined these two very important and indispensable contents relatively seriously and comprehensively.

Home is a gentle place

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

At home, the biggest difficulty is to do things “as calmly as possible”. When I got home, I thought I would work harder at things, but it turned out that I was struggling to find time and energy to do things quietly. After returning home, there will be countless temptations waiting for you. For example, there are a lot of foods I want to eat, a lot of people I want to see, and a lot of moments I want to lie down. But when I walked around the cold streets for a while, I would clearly realize that all of this was just the song of the siren. Do you dare to let yourself relax as you please? This is both a gentle town and a killing line!

The eve of the Spring Festival holiday

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:46:01 +0800

Today is the last day of my stay in Guangzhou. The day before I go back to my hometown for the New Year, I am still struggling: struggling to find some meaningful plans so that I can spend the next holiday more meaningfully.

I don’t like vague statements like “holidays are for a good rest.” I prefer to regard this holiday as a valuable thinking opportunity to think about what to do in the next year. **And because it is very short, it does not tolerate even a little bit of entertainment and squandering…

Further optimization work

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:46:01 +0800

As for yesterday’s problem, we have made special adjustments and optimizations today. However, instead of dividing each of the above items one by one, we conducted a more serious reflection based on the commonality of the above three contents - the problem of unreasonable time arrangement.

Honestly, the time that was not even 24 hours in the past was definitely not enough, so I took a back-and-back approach and took a serious look at one of those points: once again, a significant reduction in the number of things I do on a daily basis. On the basis of the criterion of whether or not to be production-oriented, I need to make further big judgements on many of these matters. If not necessary, abandon all. So, in the next list, I will, in accordance with this principle, gradually add more productive things and reduce more “funners”. For example, in order to achieve the goal of breaking four digits by 2027 for a Twitter public fan, I will continue to delineate to what is to be done every day; For morning reading, it is either going in the direction of production or it is cut directly.

Treat life as a long-term bet

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 20:01:01 +0800

At this age of early twenties, for ambitious people, there is an embarrassing period when BOOS does not lose its health bar even if it is punched on the sandbag again and again. And for people like me, it’s no exception. But after a few times, I still chose to calm down and think about what adjustments I need to make to make it easier to get out of the situation. In the end, what is more important? What’s most important?

"Taste" determines the quality of life

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800

I recently noticed a word: taste. What is taste? Teacher Xiaolai has a very interesting definition of this word: The so-called “taste” consists of two levels:

Different cognitive granularity
Different comparatives

I won’t go into details about how the teacher gave specific examples. I will only elaborate on my own views from the perspective of my personal understanding and inspiration:

Let’s start with a story: There’s a guy called “The Small Path” who just graduated from college for personal reasons.**“Facework Project”**The problem is that a new energy car that is popular this season has been selected. The total landing price is 210,000.

After so long refusing to change, something finally clicked

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0800

In order to fulfill my commitment to product iteration, I worked hard from 7 o’clock last night until more than 1 o’clock in the morning. After the computer, mobile phone and human brain were completely exhausted, I had to take a rest to adjust my state. After waking up at 8 o’clock in the morning, I had no intention of staying in bed. My unfinished “legacy” pulled me out of bed and hurried to the computer to continue working. In the end, I relied on the “magic power” of Codex to complete the last part of all yesterday’s tasks: ** Completed the script configuration that can view the background data of this blog website in real time. **

Treat yourself as a project

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0800

For quite some time recently, I have been surprised to discover a phenomenon: Every day at noon, I sit on the grass with a Bible in my hand and bask in the sun, and my brain is most active when the Pearl River flows in front of me! It’s like there is a lake in my mind that can never calm down, and various plans or ideas often burst out at any time. They seem to be full of urge and passion when they appear, which often forces me to stop at any time to record and plan. Perhaps it’s the optimism bestowed upon me by the sun, but I often look at the Canton Tower on the riverside and the large group of CBDs surrounding it with a contented face. At the same time, when I looked there, I seemed to be looking at myself: it seemed that the expression on the face was clearly visible…

1.30

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Recently, plans were made to do something, but at the end of the day, it was limited in energy and too many interesting ideas were difficult to come to the ground. Unfortunately, it is also true. People like me, who don’t want to get in traffic within six months quickly to the point of a million fans? Who doesn’t want every post to be perfect? Or who doesn’t want to make the most of every day’s time as soon as possible? But most of every one of these who pursues “perfect” and “quick” ends up in the wrong direction. This seems to be the normal situation, especially in cases where needles attempt to do something that is less than realistic in the short term. If there is enough of this, and there is enough time to reflect, you will realize that the old long-term idea is the real cure. And then after nearly four or five years of heavy detour, it came as a surprise to discover: slow is fast. And the first “fast” is the real cause of doing wrong or doing slow. Five years ago, he started to lose weight, when he had the passion and blood to think that it would take only three months to change his face, and he ended up with his initial agreement: 49 pounds; Then you learn to invest in money, and then you have nothing but time. The fund was set to invest in the first line of business, and it did almost eight months to harvest its first capital gain (10 per cent). Since then, the desire to make quick money has grown stronger and now seems to be an important reason for my involvement in the field of encrypted money. Now, to think of it, thanks to the original “no” or even “slazy”, I was given more than a year’s hard-on in bitcoin before I got into the first-class market and the Defi board. And it was the slowness (the time of the vote) that made the loss of my subsequent disruptions invisible by the rapid rise in the number of bids. So far, its greatest gain has come from its own “slow” (four years of experience); During the course of the university, he also read a large number of books: Sun Tzu Law, American History of Races, Time and Time to Be Rich, Road to Wealth Freedom, Self-Study, Live, Ten Thousand Words, The Wall, etc., not only in large numbers, but also over and over again. I read at least three times on the average of the books listed above. And so I remembered many of them. At the same time, my experience of writing a diary after my high examination also embeds a very deep habit of following up on his continuing writing. After getting used to the daily routine of writing a diary, it can be said that my output has increased dramatically and dramatically. Not only do they record in private, but they share their thoughts in the social media more frequently and in good faith, thus reaching out to a considerable number of small partners. They have also become one of the important sources of my continuing creativity. And because of his own documented habits, he learned by accident that “rethinking” is an important and persistent good habit that has been ignored. So since then, it’s like every day it’s been doing a spa, and it’s really doing a lot of new things. And so in a lot of things, I started to have my own perspective. Thus, over the past four or five years, it has gradually begun to averse the words “fast-growing” or “speculation”, which has led to a very conscious and natural “exclusion” of many of those who have done so; And because of the many and many things that it takes to “take a long time to get what it takes to get what it takes to get what it takes to get what it takes to get what it takes to get what it takes to do, it is difficult to continue to do people like “speak only” or “fake to themselves”. So, unwittingly and unwittingly, they did and even did a lot of things. In my opinion, this rate is still accelerating. What about you? Do you have to be like 500 times a day? If not, then why?

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Today I mainly did one type of thing: break up the separation. A relatively thorough action was taken to deal with the problem of lag on the mobile phone and the problem of disorganized bookmarks on the computer. The entire process adopted the principle of “first principles” and took nearly 4 hours to complete. When all the work was completed, the originally chaotic and irritable mood gradually calmed down. After everything cleared up, the various thoughts in my mind seemed to gradually become clearer.

My Post

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:12:33 +0800

As soon as you start building, you will find a lot of difficulties that you have never imagined before. Recently, I wanted to write a guide on optimizing investment strategies, but when I was actually ready to write it, I found that there were countless aspects that I needed to continue to optimize. I don’t want to write too cliché, and I also want to optimize the feedback I received when I wrote the article before, so I am still writing this article over and over again… You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. Only by working slowly can you get good work. So based on the principle of “long-term and useful, simple and easy to understand”, I was frantically inputting various related articles or video content, and my brain was also processing at an accelerated speed. The article about Chinese medicine I wrote yesterday also came from this. Although the article was written in one afternoon, the entire writing process actually spanned more than three years. Looking at the emergence of in-depth and high-quality articles, they actually have similar experiences. No good article can be written by the author just by tapping his forehead or having an idea one day. Without exception, they are all works that have been created by the author’s years or even decades of experience and wisdom. The reason why we see many people “easily” and frequently creating so much high-quality content in a short period of time is simply because the quality and depth of their thinking has reached a singular point of qualitative change. And the actions shown to everyone are just a natural result. Remember, the compound interest effect of knowledge is far more amazing than the compound interest effect of money…
