YAOXIAOSHU Vol.38: Driven by Sentiment

I recently heard an explanation about starting a business and making money that I particularly agreed with. Here I'd like to share that starting a business and making money are two different things. Starting a business is about doing what you want to do and making money along the way. Making money is very straightforward. Do whatever makes money. Both have no distinction of high or low and are very competitive. Here, we only talk about the differences.

So starting a business itself is actually a very sentimental thing. Because you have to do something you want to achieve as a prerequisite. The advantage is that when difficulties come, there is also an inner driving force within you that keeps you moving forward. For instance, the inner motivation for me to do "Shake Little Tree" is to create a brand with the same name as Little Tree, to grow together with him, and at the same time, to save the lost me. Of course, there is also a downside, which is that it might be impossible to cut losses objectively and rationally. Finally, it's attached to the sentiment.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.37: Dancing in Flared Trousers

Fashion nowadays is already very diverse. There are all kinds of trends from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and China. Young people are all kinds of trends.

I was also trendy when I was at school. That era should have been the nascent period of Chinese fashion trends. Everyone heard of Wong Ka Kui and had the same hairstyle as Aaron Kwok. For this, I even straightened my hair. They are all wearing flared trousers. At first, it was relatively normal, but later on, the speakers got larger and larger. The trousers are getting tighter and tighter. It seems a bit effeminate now. At that time, I thought it was quite unique. There was no way around it. The aesthetic standards at that time were just that high, and I had seen some good ones. I don't know if there's anything better. Another rather trendy thing is to attend the weekend dance party organized by different classes every Saturday. Dancing with female classmates in flared pants looks very youthful.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.36: A Soul-Stirring Sleep

What sleeping position do you have when you sleep? The book says that the best sleeping position is the side-lying bow position. I don't particularly agree.

Sleeping is a particularly personal and self-centered act. You should do it in the position that makes you feel most comfortable. My sleeping position is not standard. It is a sleeping position with both hands raised above the head and legs in an eight shape. Like basking in the sun on the beach. So this position of mine is called the sunbathing sleeping position. One advantage of this posture is that it can be very relaxing and is particularly good for the shoulders. The downside is that it takes up too much space. I think I developed such a sleeping posture habit because I lived in the north when I was a child and the heated brick bed was very large. The bed is also very large.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.35: Buzz. Buzz

It's 2 a.m. now. A few bumps on my body told me that I had been bitten.

Just now, I was still dreaming. Although I can't remember exactly what it was, it must have been a beautiful dream. A buzzing sound pulled me back from the beautiful world to the cruel reality. Outside the window, there was a faint glow, and occasionally the sound of passing cars could be heard. Because I got up very fast. Still a bit confused. It was about a minute later that I knew I had returned to Earth. I looked around at the familiar surroundings. I grabbed those few bags. I lay down on the bed again. On this summer night, I decided to spare this mosquito. It's not because I'm kind, but because I want to quickly return to the dream just now and get away from this real world.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.34: Not Recognized

Why are the young people of this generation so anxious? In many cases, anxiety stems from one's own lack of recognition.

How do you put this sentence? For instance, say you think you are very talented and hope that others also think you are talented. If everyone doesn't recognize or identify your talent. You will create conditions or scenarios to help everyone recognize that you are talented. This process of creating identification means is the goal that many people strive for and the cause of their anxiety. So, the content in Moments is actually a way for others to help you recognize them.

So the question arises: If you have a clear goal yourself, do you need others to recognize you?

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.33: Open a Door

Today's China has begun to enter an era of class solidification, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to overcome. So nowadays, young people tend to lie flat because they can't see any hope despite their efforts. Don't judge whether this is good or not, nor sell anxiety. It can only be said that this is a personal choice.

Personally, I don't think it's the last time to lie down yet. In fact, at present, there is still a door left for young people, and that is starting a business. Although starting a business is extremely risky and involves a high risk of death, especially in today's society. But even so, this is still one of the few ways for China to transcend class boundaries at present. Perhaps in a few years, there won't even be any chance to start a business. Take a look at our neighbor Japan. The entire society as a whole has entered a period of low desire. All industries are in a state of intense competition, making it almost impossible to start a business.

So, if you want to open a door for yourself. Then go ahead and start a business.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.32: Violent Stress Relief

How to relieve stress when it comes? It is estimated that everyone's way is different. Some like shopping, while others enjoy having a couple of drinks. I prefer playing games, and they must be violent ones. Besides, I prefer military affairs. So, the game I played was a first-person shooter with a military theme.

The first time I came into contact with this kind of game should be Counter-Strike CS. I was quite shocked to see this game in the Internet cafe at that time. It has a first-person perspective. Both sides were Shouting and fighting fiercely, and the audience was also roaring. Since then, I have been particularly fond of playing such games. Including the later "Call of Duty", "Battlefield" series and so on. In the game, you can play as soldiers from different camps and choose the weapons you like. Then, they jumped out of the trenches and engaged in a fierce battle. Emotions are released in the killing, tense and thrilling. After several fierce battles, I was drenched in sweat. Then take several big gulps of water. My mood immediately improved

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.31: A Habit

I have a habit that might be bad, which is that I like to cross my legs. And it's the habitual type where the left leg touches the right leg. And it's not just about putting it on; the foot of the left leg should be hooked onto the lower leg of the right leg. Viewed from the side, it looks like a twisted dough.

I usually don't do this. But there is one situation that is rather serious, which is when you are thinking about something but can't figure it out. There has been an analysis of what the reason is. Perhaps it's because when I'm thinking, the tension in my brain is transmitted to my body. Then, the body will find a position that it considers safe to tense up. So that the brain can be more focused. Over time, it became a habit.

So I think everyone has habits that are different from others. As long as they don't interfere with others, that's fine.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.30: Give Yourself an Encouragement

By accident, I've already reached the 30th issue, which can be regarded as a small milestone in the process of shaking the little tree.

For someone like me who loves freedom, it's still quite difficult to keep doing one thing. Just take a look at my own weight loss plan and you'll know that form outweighs substance. It's just a fleeting enthusiasm. But in this regard, Xiaoshu did better than me. It seems that this shortcoming was not inherited.

Another problem is that I'm a perfectionist. In the Internet environment, a perfectionist would be a disaster for doing the act of shaking a small tree. Because you can't think one thing through completely. But when one doesn't feel very satisfied, it can be very perplexing. For instance, the previous form of shaking the little tree with text and illustrations seemed okay to me, but after a while, it wasn't very smooth. Eventually, I changed it to a form of sound and illustrations. There might still be changes later on.

But I'm still very glad to have reached the 30th issue. So I rewarded myself with a pair of bookshelf speakers as an encouragement.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.29: Learning to Swim

Nowadays, children all learn to swim in swimming pools. I learned swimming in the reservoir.

One summer vacation, the weather was extremely hot. The sun is particularly strong at noon. In the afternoon, the adults would get ready to take a bath at the reservoir and also take us kids there. The sun had been shining for most of the day, and by the afternoon, the water wasn't very cold. Back then, there were no swimsuits or trunks; everyone swam naked. The children are in the shallow water area. The adults are in the deep water area. There is no standard life buoy. Use the inner tubes of truck tires as lifebuoys and rubber boats. Swimming is all about imitation, and the water splashes are particularly big. After several attempts, I finally learned it. But it was only when I grew up that I realized. The name of the swimming stroke I learned when I was a child was "Dog Paddle".
