YAOXIAOSHU Vol.44: Cheer Yourself Up

Give it a score

Half a year has passed, and the handwriting of Shaking the little tree continues to be updated.

First of all, let me report that the Shaking Little Tree Cafe has finally opened. Now that I think about it, it was actually quite difficult, due to the pandemic. I thought the cafe business would come to an end in 2021. Finally, I managed to open the door unsteadily. So sometimes hope is very important. It's your courage to keep going, and it might also be the foot that leads you into the pit.

When looking for a store in August. The epidemic broke out suddenly in Zhangjiajie, followed closely by Nanjing and Yangzhou. At that time, I felt that the preparations for the past six months were likely to go to waste. Because the epidemic will first hit the offline catering industry. I'm really so sad about the little tree shaking that just started. If you stop now and have to wait until next year, neither your mindset nor your time will allow it. So we made a decision: to downsize, strictly control costs and take a chance.

Later, I finally found the store in October. By the opening on November 18th, I was cheering myself up every day. On the road of entrepreneurship, self-encouragement is needed.

Now, the epidemic is still ongoing. Get ready and meet the challenges... ..

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.43: Desire

Give it a score

It's normal for people to have desires; otherwise, they wouldn't be normal people. Our ancestors all said that people have seven emotions and six desires. Life is meaningless without desires.

Some people say that Japan is now a society with low desires. Young people in Japan can see your own future at a glance. No matter how hard you try at present, you can't change your current life situation. So choose to have low desires and just lie flat. Low desires deprive oneself of the motivation to live.

But by overspending on all kinds of luxury goods and luxury cars, with overly high desires, one has ended up in debt. It's not a good thing either.

So, it is very important to control your desires well. Control it well. Desire is the driving force. If you can't control herself well, she will devour you.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.42: Drifting Convenience Store

Give it a score

I especially like and am grateful to Beijing from 2005 to 2010. Because Beijing was full of inclusiveness at that time, it gave me ideals and youth. Make yourself feel that you still have some value. It was also at that time that I made the magazine "Drifting".

And the two words "drifting" have now become the awe and obsession deep in my heart.

So all these years have passed. I still want to do something about drifting. This has nothing to do with any commercial value or model. It's just a pure desire to carry on the ideals of my youth.

After some thought, I realized that I could set up a 24-hour convenience store. It's called Drifting Convenience Store. Sell some simple food and drinks to offer some warmth and a place for solitude to the wandering people in the dead of night.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.41: Waiting for the Wind to Come

Give it a score

It's been a while since I last updated. One reason is that my inspiration has dried up, and the other is that I did some other things like shaking a small tree. Now, the matter has come to a temporary halt. So I came back to continue updating. I wonder if you have had a similar situation. Many things, to a certain extent, will inadvertently get stuck in one place, making it very difficult for the entire plan to move forward. It feels like I'm in a dilemma, as if there's a bone stuck in my throat. At this point, you will have two choices. Either make do with a forced push or wait. How would you choose?

In the end, I chose to wait because I felt that a painful process might not necessarily lead to a good outcome.

Let's just wait for the wind to come naturally, but I hope it's not a typhoon.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.40: Please Trust Your Intuition

Give it a score

We have many choices in our lives. Every choice may change your life. Every choice you make may cause a split in your parallel world. So sometimes it is said. There are many possibilities in life. But only one is yours. At least in this time and space, you have only one.

Then how to make a choice? There are all kinds of methodologies available on the market to teach you how to choose. But personally, I think that's a short-term choice in terms of the selection of matters. If it comes to making choices in life, I suggest listening to the voice of your heart and following your feelings. Trust your intuition. Because this is a unique ability of ours as human beings. Above logical analysis.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.39: Bring You to this World to save me

Give it a score

To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of children before. There has always been a notion that the prerequisite for becoming a father is that you yourself must grow up first. How can one educate the next generation well if they haven't even established their own worldview? So, I decided to have a child relatively late. Moreover, it is also for my mother's words, "Among the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest."

But ever since the moment I took the sapling from the doctor's hands at the delivery room door, all I had been thinking about was nothing. This kind of blood and kinship is simply amazing. When he smiles at you, everything else immediately becomes unimportant. Moreover, my life, which had been in a state of confusion, immediately gained motivation. Just like when the first stage of a rocket burns out, the second stage starts up. Xiaoshu is at the second level. So, I want to thank Xiaoshu for coming into this world to save me.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.38: Driven by Sentiment

Give it a score

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

Give it a score

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

Give it a score

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.

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.
