Persist in This Thing

Today I listened to the latest issue of the Blockchain Intelligence Bureau. At the end of the program, the anchor said that in order to ensure the quality of the program, it will not be updated regularly in the future. I remembered that about this time last year, because the quality of the weekly updated blog was unsatisfactory, I found an excuse for myself to write high-quality content and changed the update cycle to irregular updates. In fact, although the time period has been lengthened, the quality has not improved.

I thought that leaving enough time would collect more good ideas. In fact, there are many things to deal with every day, and many things and ideas are not recorded. When I have time to sit down and write, it is still the same as before, my mind is empty, and there is not much new idea, so I have to piece together an article. Not only is the quantity less than before, but the quality is not much higher.

In fact, for individuals, writing and running require long-term persistence, and short-term effects cannot be seen. Long-term benefits are very large. Writing civilizes the spirit, and running savagely strengthens the body. But the output process is very painful, and ordinary people will probably not become literary giants even if they write tirelessly, and they will not become national athletes even if they run ten kilometers a day. Therefore, there are very few long-term persisters, but those who can persist benefit a lot.

First, if you persist in something for a long time, it will become a part of life like three meals a day, and this thing will also become a milestone for restarting or starting life. For example, if you are tired from work, running ten kilometers will make you refreshed. If you have no clue about work, sit down and quietly organize your thoughts into words, and many problems will be solved easily. Second, persistence itself is a very valuable quality. Ninety miles is only half of a hundred-mile journey, which is the status quo for most people.

Those who are good at persisting are long-termists, and they often benefit a lot from persistence. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. Breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, the the Qin territory eventually belongs to Chu; the painstaking person, the sky does not disappoint, sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, three thousand Yue armor can swallow Wu. Some people persist in a good habit for a long time to prolong their lives, and some people persist in using the time others drink coffee to write and become a generation of literary giants. In addition, there is a special kind of persistence called delayed gratification. Some people persist in delayed gratification and become new wealth. Among all kinds of persistence, delayed gratification is the most difficult and most beneficial, because it is too difficult. How many people can pass through the flowers without a leaf touching their bodies.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be persisted, such as persisting in holding junk coins and junk stocks, and fantasizing that one day they can become hundred-fold stocks and hundred-fold coins. Well, actually it shouldn’t be called persistence, but stubbornness.
