对所学知识的不确定性

最近一段时间以来,我学习得越多,我越发现我自己的表达能力实际上是非常糟糕的。特别是在我有了每天都写一篇博客的习惯了之后,我实际上发现自己很缺乏精细表达自己想法的能力。

我一直很喜欢“得到”这个app,它的创始人罗振宇是一位拥有出色口才的电视记者,他在罗辑思维公众号上以每天60秒的形式输出自己的感想坚持了整整10年,他坚持的精神很大程度上影响了我的人生。

这段时间以来,我越来越发现自己已存在语言荒漠的现象,经常找不到一个可以准确表达自己想法的词语,感觉可能是读书读少的原因。长期沉浸在碎片式的信息当中,以至于最近我想阅读一些长文本的内容,会发现自己总是静不下心来,想点到别的地方去。

我到大四这个年纪才发现我原来欠缺了这么多本应该接受到的教育,很多教育学校和家庭不一定会教你,需要自己在生活中主动去发现不知道自己不知道的内容。就比如说如何养成自律的好习惯。

最近一段时间我发现自己自律能力很差,总是无法按时起床。早上醒来了,总是想在床上多拖延一会儿。我经过认真反思之后,发现自己实际上不能早起的原因是:我缺乏一个能够让自己早起的动机。更确切来说,是因为那些宏大的目标离我太远,而被子里的温暖太近。总是会觉得自己晚起又不会有什么惩罚。前段日子我在知乎上看到一个回答,那位网友提了一个很有意思的观点,说只要拿把枪抵在一个高中生的头上,他大概率是能考上清华北大的。虽然这个说法有点极端,但是我仔细想了想,发现他其实还在理的,我们人的潜能其实没有自己想象的那么少,可探索的潜能实际上是远远大于自己的预期的。就拿起床这件事情来说,如果我每天按时起床,能够立刻得到100万,那我100%肯定会每天坚持按时起床。所以起床这个问题就变成了,我如何把自己的远大的目标转化为当下行动所需要的精神激励?

这是一个我值得反思的问题,我将在接下来的几篇博客当中仔细思考一下。

Uncertainty about the knowledge learned

In recent times, the more I learn, the more I realize that my expressive ability is actually quite poor. Especially after I developed the habit of writing a blog every day, I actually found that I lack the ability to precisely express my thoughts.

I’ve always been fond of the app “得到” (Dedao). Its founder, Luo Zhenyu, is a TV journalist with excellent oratory skills. He persisted in sharing his thoughts in the form of 60 - second recordings every day on the WeChat official account of “Luo’s Logic” for a full 10 years. His spirit of perseverance has significantly influenced my life.

During this period, I’ve increasingly noticed the phenomenon of a “language desert” within myself. I often can’t find a word that can accurately express my thoughts. I think it might be because I haven’t read enough books. Being immersed in fragmented information for a long time, recently when I want to read some long - text content, I find that I can’t calm down and my mind wanders to other things.

By the time I reached my senior year in college, I realized that I had missed out on so much education that I should have received. Many aspects of education may not be taught by schools or families, and we need to actively discover in life what we don’t know we don’t know. For example, how to develop good self - discipline habits.

Recently, I’ve found that my self - discipline ability is poor, and I can never get up on time. When I wake up in the morning, I always want to linger in bed for a while. After serious reflection, I realized that the reason I can’t get up early is that I lack a motivation to get up early. More precisely, those grand goals seem too far away from me, while the warmth of the quilt is too close. I always feel that there won’t be any punishment for getting up late. A few days ago, I saw an answer on Zhihu. The netizen put forward a very interesting view, saying that if a gun is held to a high - school student’s head, there’s a high probability that he can be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. Although this statement is a bit extreme, after careful consideration, I found that there’s some truth to it. Our human potential is actually not as little as we think, and the potential that can be explored is actually far greater than our expectations. Take getting up as an example. If I can get 1 million yuan immediately for getting up on time every day, then I’m 100% sure that I will stick to getting up on time every day. So the problem of getting up has become how I can transform my lofty goals into the spiritual motivation needed for immediate action.

This is a question worthy of my reflection, and I will think it over carefully in the next few blogs.
