The World of Deities

Finish this testimonial
1. I keep making mistakes.

There is no meaning of derogation or self-denial, just from a neutral and objective point of view, I have been making mistakes in the past, making mistakes now, and will inevitably make mistakes in the future.

My most recent mistake was that I agreed to post this testimonial within two weeks of finishing the book, but it was delayed until the third week.

I have struggled for a long time these days, forcing myself to think about the reasons, mainly for two reasons.

The first said at the end.

The second one is definitely procrastination, but the reason for the procrastination is uncertain. It may be that perfectionism wants to write a good conclusion, it may be that it is unwilling to accept criticism from readers, or it may be the entanglement caused by past experience, which involves writing this Motivation for this book.

2. Why did I write this book?
This book certainly has the most vulgar and commonplace motive, making money.

But to be able to write a book that doesn't make much money to 370 million, rounded up to 400 million words, for me, there must be other stronger and more important motivations.

After all, while other people's novels tell stories, my novels tell the truth from the beginning to the end, and it is the most difficult principle in the truth.

Anyone who wants to make money can't do such outrageous things.

During the writing process, due to various reasons, I thought about giving up, but I still persisted.

After thinking about it, I found that my deepest motivation is from the inner impulse.

What is the impulse?
An ignorant fool who has lived for more than 30 years, suddenly discovered the truth of "I think", and really couldn't suppress this impulse, so I shared a lot of truth in my opinion in this book.

3. Why do I want to share?
I am a fool.

A fool is stupid, and a fool is stupid with a little bit of fun.

I grew up stupid, but I thought I was smart.

I thought it was an achievement to be number one in the County Mathematical Olympiad in elementary school, until I went to the provincial capital city and entered the Mathematical Olympiad class.

I'm dumb, so I still think I'm smart.

This kind of self-righteousness has been hurting himself.

I always feel that the things in the book are very simple. I think I understand what the teacher said in class. Especially at the beginning of the school, everyone doesn’t learn and I don’t learn. My grades are easily among the best, but others continue to learn. I haven't studied all the time, and the result can be imagined, the grades are ups and downs, ups and downs...

Don't write why, I don't understand.

I can't even fully understand myself now, let alone me so long ago.

Even so, I have been praised for being smart since I was a child, and it is considered that various factors such as illness or family have caused me to not study hard.

Those who praise me are as stupid as I am.

Because they, like me, don't know what real intelligence is.

I am always impatient to learn a certain kind of knowledge repeatedly, or I don’t want to read a book repeatedly, so the books I read are extremely messy, but not in-depth. If I know a little superficial knowledge that others don’t know, I am complacent and feel that I am superior .

Looking back on the past, I peeled off my flesh and endured the severe pain to dissect it bit by bit. I suddenly found that I have no areas of proficiency so far.

I now understand that the second element of being smart is to endure loneliness, to read and study repeatedly, to lay a solid foundation repeatedly, and to think deeply repeatedly.

Lie to you, this is still an idiot's idea.

Only by reading and learning repeatedly, laying a solid foundation repeatedly, thinking deeply and repeatedly, can one be smart.

If you can't, you're an idiot.

Just like I explained the unity of knowledge and action in the main text, how can I prove that I really know? Just do it.

How can it be achieved? Only through in-depth and long-term thinking, deep cognition, continuous action, not afraid of failure, and continuous attempt, can it be achieved.

I am an idiot, I always thought that many things I know and understand, but I just can’t do it, but in fact, I don’t know anything, but I think I understand, so I can’t do it.

In order to be lazy and reduce consumption, human beings can do anything to protect their self-esteem.

It is a daily operation of the brain to lie to itself.

For example, those Qingbei Xueba must be smart.

Those bigwigs in various fields must be smart.

Take Internet authors as an example, it is the kind of writer who writes a popular book and has a stable grade, so he can be considered smart.

Obviously, I'm nowhere near that, I'm an idiot.

I always think I’m smart. When I encounter any problems and learn any knowledge, it’s superficial. I don’t know how to ask why, let alone ask why why. A real top student can at least ask why why why Why why.

Pursuing the deepest principle and essence is the first element of wisdom, or in other words, wisdom.

The world view of "The World of the Gods" is my choice in desperation, because the world I built before is too sensitive to write, and I can only intercept parts.

But the theme of "The World of the Gods" exceeded my expectations.

Before the writing of the gods, I suddenly discovered that this world is so different from my original perception, experience, and instinctive cognition.

It turns out that the role of principle and essence is so huge.

It turns out that such a great science is actually based on the axioms that seemed "ordinary" thousands of years ago.

It turns out that philosophy and science are basically an extremely close mother-child relationship.

It turns out that first principles are so important.

It turns out that various principles can be applied to all aspects of life.

It turns out that the seemingly useless principles of various disciplines can become a tool for everyone to think about problems, not to mention scientists are using them, even modern business tycoons worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions who have nothing to do with science Also use...

Forgive an ignorant person who is ecstatic after suddenly discovering a drop of wisdom, even if there is an ocean of wisdom that I can't see at all hidden in the distance.

In the past, I always blamed the ignorance and confusion, pain and self-abandonment of my student days on external objects, my original family, and my own illness.

Now I understand that my failure in the past is just that I have not been in touch with true wisdom.

Or rather, contacted, but I failed to understand.

I have neither thought deeply about the most practical common sense, nor thought deeply about the most basic principles.

I thought I understood, I thought they were of little use.

This is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.

I'm not complaining, just very sorry.

If I could learn to think deeply through appearances, trace the principles, and then use more constant principles as the source and standard of my thinking, perhaps I would have matured earlier.

Of course, it's a little late, but not too late.

4. What do I share?
The theme of this book is the principle, the thinking, the bottom layer, and the "Tao".

To put it simply, everyone knows that Tao is amazing, but what is Tao? No one says.

How to get to the Tao, no one said.

It is impossible for me to fully understand the Tao, so naturally I cannot explain it clearly. I can only use my weak beam of light to illuminate the Tao.

This book is saying that those seemingly boring and empty philosophical theories are not only valuable, but can actually be applied to each of us, and can form a powerful force to act on our world.

Even, when the theories of proof, mathematics, abstraction, logic, axiomatics, etc. are established, the world we live in, and all technology, are completely based on these seemingly false philosophical concepts.

I know that even now most people don't believe that.

It's like I used to not believe that when I didn't even understand a Mathematical Olympiad question, others could say the answer in one go.

It is a pity that my ability is limited, and the more I write, the more I discover my ignorance and impoverishment. This is the reason why I want to give up.

Fortunately, I did not give up.

Of course, I don't produce principles, I'm just a porter of principles.

5. What about the results of the sharing?
This is the most tangled part of this testimonial.

I have become more and more aware of the existence of communication funnels, whether it is between me and readers, or between people, and even conflicts between people on the Internet.

One sentence may contain 10 points of information.

I can only know 7.

I can learn 5.

I can name 3.

Others hear 2.

Others may get 1.

If others say it again, it may even be -1, or even -100, well, this is the reason for the conflict between people.

The bad news is that we may never understand each other, let alone the great principles of knowledge that are harder than understanding people.

The good news is that if we are smart enough (laughs) to learn and memorize repeatedly and experience it at least 10 times, it is possible to obtain the full 10 points of information.

I originally wanted to share that drop of wisdom because it saved a person living in a knowledge desert, me.

The result was embarrassing.

This book may not achieve the effect of sharing, and it may become my personal study notes. I use Feynman techniques to teach and learn in the way of writing novels.

If you don't drink ten catties of Erguotou, you can't do such a high-level thing.

The more I think about it, the more I suspect it's the main reason I've been slow to finish writing this testimonial.

We co-workers spend money to read novels, Xiaohuo, you fucking update our study notes?
It's too high, I want to be quiet.

When I wrote "The Most Sacred Confucianism and Taoism", I was actually writing the story. You can see that there is a very simple balance.

But when writing "The World of the Gods", that balance was broken.

I thought that it was enough for me to share with good intentions, but I ignored the needs of most readers.

Yes, some readers may find what I write interesting, but many readers who subscribe to "World of the Gods" still feel that I am preaching and reasoning.

The writing process of these two years is essentially the process of my learning. Everything in this book is worth far more to me than anyone else.

I even had the illusion of being "smart". These two years and this book are the turning point of everything and the foundation of my future.

Because, in the past two or three years, my whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.

6. What changes have happened to me?
I have said a lot in the fourth volume of my reflections and year-end summary.

To be more precise, in the past two years, I have become a little bit smarter, maybe only a little bit, but I did "do it".

For example, I have been fat since I was a child, but I have lost 40 catties in the past few years. My old classmates dare not recognize me when they see me, and I have not rebounded so far.Simply put, it is handsome.

For example, I used to do things on and off... gone.But now, on and off and on and on and on and on and on.

For example, the first time I recorded time, I only persisted for half a month. At that time, I thought it was too difficult, but now, I started to record the time I did things every day in November 20, and now it is August 11, almost a year Yes, it is still going on, and I don’t feel difficult anymore, I will continue, try five years, what does it feel like in ten years.

For example, my habit cultivation has persisted intermittently for almost three years. After using my single-core work method record for a year and a half, it was upgraded to a positive feedback system in the first two days.

For example, after I learned how to manage my emotions, my emotions are no longer so extreme and no longer fluctuate excessively.

For example, I enjoy the joy of thinking about a problem for a long time without interruption in chunks.

For example, everyone who knows me now praises my self-discipline, and even thinks that I am too self-disciplined. This is something no one said in the past.Of course, I think my current self-discipline is still one step away from the passing line.

very many.

According to the book "Willpower", by doing these things continuously, my willpower gradually increases, allowing me to do things that I couldn't do before, and the willpower is strengthened again, thus forming a benign cycle.

7. Where should I go?
Unexamined, muddleheaded, life has no purpose, life is confused, but they mistakenly think that they are smart, they mistakenly think that they have a good life, and they mistakenly think that others are stupid.

Whenever I recall the past now, there is always a sense of unreality, the past seems to be living in a dream.

In the past, I had no goal, no plan, no method, no principle, no ability, no good habits, no recording, no reflection, no thinking, no hard work, nothing...

As I said before, my brain was not fully developed in the past, and it was not until these two years that my brain was fully developed.

The brain is not fully developed until middle age? I don't know how the science explains it, but that's how I feel for the past few years.

Now I also occasionally mistakenly think that some people are stupid, but once I have this idea, I will immediately ask myself why he is like this, and after finding the reason, I will go further and ask why.

Then reflect, have I made the same mistake?
What makes me happy and embarrassed is that nine times out of ten, I will find out that I have committed the other party's stupid behavior, and I have even been committing it all the time.

Then, I will instinctively reduce my aggression, start to reflect, and try not to do the same thing in the future.

Then, I gradually became tolerant, able to tolerate completely opposite positions, instead of refuting or even scolding people like fighting chicken blood when encountering opposition from others or different positions like before.

Because, I realized, and then I forgave myself.

The reason why I always fought and fought back in the past was because I was overly controlled by instinct, and I only instinctively protected myself. I was afraid of being denied, afraid of being found out that I was a fool, that is, habitual defense.

In the past, I often forgot that this world still has red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple because of arguing about a self-righteous black and white...

8. I finally have a goal.

My life in the first 30 years was a fog. I was like a headless fly, or like a small unpredictable quantum, always able to behave incomprehensibly.

I have done a lot of stupid things, which fully demonstrates the confusing behavior of human beings...

In the past few years, I have been aware of myself through various methods, and then persisted in finding the meaning of life, direction, goal, ultimate, value, self-realization, longing, dream, ideal, greatest desire, etc. All these mixed concepts, Let's still set it as a goal.

I finally found it.

There is no skill, just keep looking, keep looking, if one year fails, then two years, if two years fail, then three years, and then you find it.

Having a clear goal is one of the fundamental reasons why I can change little by little.

I often think about the past and the present, and occasionally feel that maybe, my past is not deserted.

For the first half of my life, I just searched for myself in the mist.

Now, found it.

9. My gratitude.

It is precisely because I found that this book has a greater effect on myself, so I am even more grateful to the readers who subscribe to "The World of the Gods".

Very special thanks!

In fact, you can also see that I don't know much about socializing, and I even instinctively don't write about the protagonist and women's scenes. This is related to my past experience.

To put it simply, the current habits and abilities of human beings, apart from the influence of genes, are mostly affected by the environment, and childhood is the most affected, because that is the peak period of brain neurodevelopment.

If you didn't experience a strong social environment when you were young, and your family and people around you didn't actively and frequently communicate with you, you wouldn't be very good at socializing. If you want to acquire social skills when you grow up, you need to redouble your training.

When I was young, my parents went out to work and left me in my hometown for many years. I was basically regarded as the earliest left-behind child, although there was no such vocabulary at that time.

There was no family communication when I was young, and I became an otaku when I grew up...

Therefore, not only am I not very good at writing socially in my works, but in reality I am not good at building a good relationship with readers, I don’t know how to operate works, and even the management is actively looking for me.

I'm one of those typical positive-minded but inactive guys...

I really haven't mastered the relevant social skills. I lack the relevant nerves in my brain, so I don't realize many things.

Now, I have a certain awareness, and I am slowly learning and trying to improve, but my ability has not yet been cultivated.

However, whether I have this ability or not, I want to say, thank you every reader!
The thanks of a boring otaku like me are absolutely sincere!
Special thanks to readers who subscribe.

The motivation to start "The World of the Gods" is my impulse to see the fountain of wisdom, and the biggest motivation to finish writing "The World of the Gods" is your subscription.

Those who have voted are all co-firers, and those who have subscribed are all major shareholders!

Special thanks to!

10. Contents of this book
In fact, I still have a lot to say.

For example, the content of the world of the gods.

I don’t know how to end when I write Confucianism and Taoism, but I have a beginning and an end when I write about the gods. In terms of the story and my personal expression, it is definitely not perfect, but it is absolutely complete.

I have written the principles and principles in the book to the best of my ability now, and I may find many mistakes and flaws when I look back in the future, but for now, I really tried my best.

I didn't actually want to teach anyone, because even I didn't know much about it myself.

What I want to do is to let more people know that there is such a thing. People who have read "The World of the Gods" will realize that they have seen it after seeing some concepts such as principle, essence, and thinking model. contented.

As for what cannot be said, it is the story. The story is not the same as the truth, and there is no need to tell the story clearly.

Someone has to ask Athena and Palos. In fact, the story is very clear. Maybe some people will accept a goddess of wisdom who kills her relatives righteously. If Athena really kills her relatives righteously, she will fall into the reincarnation of sons and fathers of the entire sky gods.

However, she couldn't just watch her mother and younger brother being killed by Zeus and remain indifferent, nor could she watch Zeus destroy the world indifferently, so she was Athena and Palos, and she made a choice.

As for the headless statue, as for the reason for the talent that cannot be sacrificed, I have determined it from the beginning. In the end, I think it echoes back and forth, so I won't repeat it.

The story of this book may not be good enough, it may not be exciting enough, there are various deficiencies, but at least in the online articles I have read, there are different things in "The World of Gods".

Although this direction is not accepted by the market, or I failed to write it well.

But this is not important. The important thing is that I did what an author should do: follow my own heart and impulse, write at least one book that I really, really, absolutely love, and never compromise with anyone or the market. Not even compromising to the dumbass self.

11. New book

After finishing "The World of the Gods", I basically have no regrets.

So, in the next book, I will return to the story, and try to reduce the truth and preaching as much as possible.

Of course, no one can completely curb their desire to express themselves. I will try my best to incorporate possible private goods into the story.

The next book is inspired by my poems about immortals, and then based on Chinese classical novels of gods, demons and ghosts. Although some of these elements appear in online articles, in general, it is still a semi-independent oriental fantasy fairy tale. Xia system.

All in all, a very interesting world.

You think I'm complimenting myself? No.

12. I overturned the car

Specifically, it was my self-discipline or self-management that overturned, and my nose was bruised and my face was swollen.

After I finished the book, the plan was perfect.

In the first week, play the game for a week.

In the second week, immediately return to normal work and rest, and start a new reading plan and ability-building plan.

On the last day of the second week, after posting this testimonial, I will brag to readers how strong my self-discipline is...

As a result, the car overturned.

After a few days of intense reading in the second week, I suddenly lost my self-control.

I recalled the reasons for my failure, and suddenly found that I had made the same mistakes in the past, being overly optimistic, overestimating myself, and setting too high goals.

Let me briefly talk about what factors affect me.

1. Change in work schedule: I originally got up at 7 am, but I adjusted it to 6 am.

2. Strengthen exercise: I used to get up, eat something, make some plans, and then write, but now, the summer is too hot, and I can’t exercise outdoors at other times. I wake up at 6 o’clock and walk in the community.

3. Walking is not idle: memorize the standard Chinese pinyin pronunciation for a while, memorize a few thousand-character essays, think about future plans, reflect on yesterday's shortcomings...

4. Diet change: I used to eat some water-soaked oatmeal and get some healthy instant food when I didn’t go out in the morning, but now I walk vigorously in the early morning, and I can’t restrain my desire for food and meat. I ate steamed stuffed buns, and then my appetite started to whet my appetite. The first half of my walking was memorizing and thinking about problems, while the second half was walking while frantically searching for breakfast takeaways with my mobile phone...

5. Retirement Syndrome: During the writing period, I was bound by the absolute bottom line of writing. Now that the book is finished, no matter how I make plans, there is always a damn villain in my brain saying: Now is a vacation, now is a vacation, now it's a holiday...

6. Increased burden: The original single-core work method is just a simple schedule, listing daily to-do items. I usually do [-] things worth recording in a day.

But now, it has been upgraded to a new positive feedback system. In addition to the schedule, it is necessary to record ability development, record reading, record daily work and rest, record exercise, and then write down scores. In short, the workload directly increases by five times.

7. Read in the morning, and the reading time is as long as the previous writing time.

Using the theoretical explanation of the book "Willpower" I just finished reading, it means that the willpower I consume in the morning is at least twice as much as before.

I used to write every day and rarely feel tired at noon, but now I only read two 40-minute books in the morning, and I feel obviously lack of energy.

In the last few days, I read the book "Willpower", a 20-word book, read it twice for a total of four days, and took [-] words of reading notes, with an average of [-] reading notes per day, [-] more "reading" than normal Notes" less.

After reading this book, my hands started to touch the phone uncontrollably to play games...

I can now imagine the situation in those days:
The brain consumes too much willpower because of reading the book "Willpower", and the self-control declines. Finally, it shouts: "I promised you a good vacation, so you treat me like this?"
After speaking, he flipped the table.

I started lying flat, struggled for days, and now barely get up.

This is the first reason why I couldn't update this testimonial as originally planned.

You think I'm criticizing myself? Nope.

13. Life is not a knockout game.

Since you can't do it for the time being, instead of spending more energy and emotions blaming yourself and not being able to change the status quo, it's better to lie down for a while and then analyze the reasons.

As long as I want to improve, as long as I don't want to go back to the foggy world of the past, one day I will get up and continue to manage myself and continue to discipline myself.

You see, I will get up now and finish writing this testimonial seriously.

As for this iteration of the personal self-management method, whether it is a major change, if I fail once, I will know it in my heart. Next, I will probably continue to fail.

and then?
Continue to face it calmly, continue to calm down, find the reason, take a break, and continue to work hard.

Life is not a knockout game.

If you are not born in an ordinary family, you will be eliminated.

It's not that if you fail to enter a good university, you will be eliminated.

It's not that if you don't find a good job, you will be eliminated.

It's not that if you get married without someone you love, you will be eliminated.

It's not that when a person reaches middle age and achieves nothing, he is eliminated.

It's not that if you are scolded a few times, you will be eliminated.

If you don't make a mistake, you will be eliminated.

Life is a round-robin game. If you fail today, try again tomorrow to continuously improve your winning rate.

The only end of life is the day of death.

Until that day, I can keep improving my win rate.

I will overturn, get tangled, anxious, worried, and sad, but I am still very happy, far happier than before.

This time, I didn't have any preaching, just talking about myself.

Quoting Franklin: Although I have never achieved the perfection I first wanted to achieve, and I am far from it, I have gained much happiness through these efforts, and I am more perfect than I who have not done such common sense Some.

And happier too.

The book probably won't convert any reader, failed?

This book changed me.

After writing this, I think everyone understands why I delayed this final testimonial.

Without drinking ten catties of vodka, I can't write such a complete testimonial.

This still deletes a lot.

I really don't know whether this kind of strange final testimonial should be written, because looking back ten years later, this testimonial will inevitably become "one of the past confusing behaviors".

This book should be the first and last time I have something to say.

Next, I will try to be a good storyteller.

Thanks to every reader.

Thanks to every ally.

Thanks to every moderator and administrator of this book for their silent contributions.

Thanks to everyone involved.

See you in the next book!
Xiao Huo bowed.
