I was born in 1994, and now I am about 28 years old. I have lived 10000 days, and I am determined to continue to write and shoot videos in the remaining 20000 days.
Write 1000 words every day:
1000 words ×20000 days =20000000 words.
But 200 years ago, someone did it. His name is Zeng Guofan (1811-1872). 1872-1811= 61year. He only lived for 6 1 year and reached this order of magnitude.
Unlike my plan to write at least 1000 words every day for the next 20000 days. He's already done it. This is a fait accompli. Moreover, he is not a code word, not a keyboard input, but a brush handwriting.
?
So he's a writer? The author of the novel? Is he a writer?
No, he doesn't mainly write, he mainly does things. So what did he do and what did he achieve?
Fight: Establish Xiang Army and pacify Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Pioneer: One of the initiators of the Westernization Movement.
Identity: the first of the four famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty
(Li Hongzhang, Zuo, Zhang Zhidong)
Literature: the Founder of Xiangxiang School in the Late Qing Dynasty
Official position: Governor of Liangjiang and Governor of Zhili.
Teacher Zeng Guofan, he is not a full-time writer. He can study, be an official, lead troops to fight, write articles and promote change.
So he should be a genius? He must be very talented, right?
Not exactly. At the age of 23, he was admitted as a scholar with the penultimate score, but this is the seventh consecutive year. That can be admitted to a scholar, but also a very talented person. Not exactly. Because Liang Qichao entered school at the age of 1 1, his friend Zuo entered school at the age of 14 and his student Li Hongzhang entered school at the age of 17.
Friends and himself said, "My life is shorter than talent." He knows very well that I'm not very clever.
A person who is not very clever has only lived for 6 1 year, but he has achieved very successful results, which is worthy of our consideration and study.
?
Cut into Zeng Guofan's writing from the perspective of seeking truth from facts;
20 million words 6 1 year
Write 1000 words every day, from 7 years old to death.
Or another algorithm:
20 million words, with an average of 6 1:900 words per day.
Zeng Guofan, in theory, wrote the news of his death at a rate of 900 words/day from the day he was born. In our time, it is understood that the day of birth begins to change, and one day becomes a lifetime.
Regardless of his other achievements, this lifelong writing is worthy of my respect. I know writing every day is not a piece of cake.
?
What we can see now is that Zeng Guofan has 1459 letters from home. In Xianfeng 1 1, he wrote 235 letters, 365 days a year.
Teacher Zeng Guofan, these letters were written at night. It's not a running account, it's my daily class and my daily reflection. Write down his feelings and gains and share them with his younger brothers at home.
From the perspective of seeking truth from facts, it is a great shock!
Reflect every day and write every day. Teacher Zeng Guofan, this is a lifelong self-improvement and iteration. At the age of 27, he was the penultimate scholar. He may not be the most talented, but he must be the most diligent and efficient.
We don't write 1000 words every day all our lives, but we can also have the same results as him, such as being a big official, fighting hard and doing great things. On the contrary, we need to learn from his own practice.
I am not in a good mood, but I am very enthusiastic. Let's practice for a while. But 20 million words, a lifetime of practice.
?
Whether it is nonsense or not, try to write it down and seek truth from facts. Before studying today, I had forgotten who Zeng Guofan was and what he did. I'm not sure readers will be more familiar with him.
Therefore, I will write this article realistically. Let's start with his 20 million words and get to know Zeng Guofan, our example of seeking truth from facts.
In the next issue, we will continue to explore Mr. Zeng Guofan's other treasures of seeking truth from facts.
