In the 1980s and 1990s, Jin Yong's martial arts novels swept the country. Now, decades later, Jin Yong has passed away, but his works are still popular and regarded as classics. Such achievements are naturally inseparable from his novel imagination and excellent writing. But there is also, in my view, a deeper, more insidious reason, and that is that his story strikes at one of the most primal and visceral parts of human nature - instant gratification. You see, Cha's story is full of scenes like this: an ordinary teenager, experiences an adventure, easily develops magic skills, and achieves success... They can learn magic skills in a short time, or even overnight, that take decades for ordinary people to develop. And the story also highlights the good character of the protagonists, it seems that good luck only comes to those with a simple heart, making people mistakenly think that a simple heart is better than hard work, if you want to achieve success, you just need to keep a simple heart - of course people want to believe this conclusion, after all, it is much easier to keep a simple heart than to keep hard work. It's the thrill of being able to do things without a lot of effort that fascinates people, because in real life, whether it's studying, taking exams, working, or making money, you have to do well for a long time. Unfortunately, stories are stories, reality is reality, and we can indulge in stories for a while, but eventually we have to come back to reality and face the rules: to achieve anything, we must be patient and delay gratification. Many people talk about being patient, but their bodies honestly walk the edge of instant gratification. They start the day with the easiest, most comfortable part of the work, and then become addicted to the entertainment information, addicted to the peripheral trivia, is unable to do the important things; They spend a lot of time looking for dry articles and clicking on favorites that they may never click on again; Their New Year's resolutions are perfect. The moment they are made, they act like they have been completed, but within a few days, they are gone. They are also sometimes incredibly diligent, frantically increasing their reading, practicing the "10,000-hour rule," doing the same thing every day, but never succeeding. As soon as they have a little change, even when they have only one idea, they will rush to announce to the world that they are going to start a new life, but as soon as they encounter a little setback, they will soon depression and give up. When they see a big gap between them and their peers, they get very anxious and sign up for too many classes, read too many books, do too many things and expect to see immediate change.

In short, they want to read only a few books can become more knowledgeable, stick to 21 days can form a habit, eat a few bites of food can become thin, read a dry article can change immediately... This list of bad habits is not an attempt to give myself the moral high ground to preach. In fact, these are the ones I've stepped into, and I've been one of them, so I can relate. I know that these qualities will ruin a person's life, or at least make people mediocre, because without the quality of patience, no amount of effort will be in vain. But we have never been taught what patience is or how to be patient. We're just taught over and over again, "Be patient! Don't be so hasty! Don't be half-hearted!" So much so that people's understanding of the concept of patience tends to be about tolerating boredom, suffering, persevering and pushing through. In short, use willpower to fight -- if you can't do it, you can only show that your willpower is not strong. But that's not the case at all. We have such a shallow understanding of patience that we spend most of our time in pain. Since patience is such an important quality, there is no reason not to catch up on this lesson.
