Tuesday, February 25, 2025 Morning Run: 3 km English Speaking Practice: 25 minutes Writing Practice: Day 25 My favorite character is Andy, the protagonist from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

The first third of the film tells the story of a banker who lives a wealthy life but is wrongfully accused of murdering his wife after she is found dead following an affair. Despite knowing he is innocent, no...

Morning run: 5 kilometers Spoken English: 25 minutes Day18 (Practice writing: 426 words) Since I have long suffered from the problem of “reading a lot of books, but not remembering anything.” Recently, I've developed a crazy passion for learning methods. In the past, I've always heard people talk about the Feynman Method of learning, which is to use output to help you digest knowledge. It sounded as if I could grasp the gist of it. But it's not clear exactly how it works, so I recently bought...

The origin of my writing I've wanted to write since a long, long time ago, not because I wanted to write, but because I was in a group with a big brother who suggested that all the students in the group needed to learn how to write, saying that writing was about everyone's future, and that it was one of the few tools that allowed ordinary people to turn their lives around. Hearing him say that made me anxious, and I felt like I had to learn this skill. But where to start? At the time, I atten...

This year, I've joined a study group for improving various cognitions, which requires 300+ word assignments per day (non-writing group). This most recent week's study was to read Wealth is the Realization of Cognition and give my own answers based on the questions posted. Today's question is: Why is it important to add to knowledge and subtract from mindfulness. I had pondered over this question and wrote a 500 word answer in no time. The writing process was very fluid, but I was very aware t...

There should be a balance in life between being rational and learning to enjoy. When joy comes, there is no need to interrupt that joy with excessive rationality; likewise, in moments of sadness, one should not stop oneself from releasing emotions and suppressing the urge to cry. Emotions are signals sent to us by the subconscious mind, reminding us to pay attention to our inner needs, and there's no harm in telling ourselves to stop when we're sad or feeling ashamed when we're happy, whether...

Today is Sunday, a day of rest, and one's state always goes up and down, and today I was no exception to the rule of trying to do something else. In the morning, I was dizzy while reading, I picked up and put down my note cards, I didn't feel very productive today, and my mood was a bit low. I went out for lunch with my son, and he talked about his games and classmates along the way, which made my heart skip a beat. I don't know if that's what other kids at home talk about when they talk to t...

Recently, I saw a public number that pushes an article every day, which starts with, “Make sure to write a lot” as the beginning of the article. The point it makes today is that the input + digestion + output of knowledge forms a closed loop of learning. Writing a lot will force yourself to always observe and think. Non-stop output is to integrate the disorganized and chaotic content in your brain, and through writing, organize it into a clear point of view and express it. This information is...

Linear thinking is a trap that can cause one to fall into a whirlpool of emotions. And it's not easy to detect, leading to repeated falls into it. For example, if a mom sees that her child is not studying well, she will associate it with not being able to get into high school, not being able to get into college, not being able to find a good job, having to rely on physical labor to make money, and living a very fortunate life ....... Mom's brain can not afford to associate the results, produc...
