Chapter 48 easy start

I was 14 years old that year, and I suddenly wanted to be a writer. How could I become a writer?Contribute to literary publications and newspaper supplements!I pushed away the cold water bottle on the Eight Immortals table for dinner at home, spread out the manuscript paper, and started writing a novel.I changed a real incident that happened when the Young Pioneers went to Xiangshan to celebrate the team day, and wrote about the different performances of several team members when the team flag accidentally fell on the pine tree on the cliff.For three days in a row, I wrote it after finishing my homework, and it was written smoothly.So I put it in an envelope, wrote "postage payment" in the upper right corner, and on the way to school on the fourth day, I voted for "Youth Literature and Art" magazine.Although this novel was rejected, it gave me a taste of the fun of "beginning".Putting your dreams into practice is actually not as difficult as you might imagine.

I was 17 years old that year, and I suddenly wanted to be a drama director. How could I do it?Go apply for the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama!I went there swaggeringly, and out of hundreds of candidates, I broke into the last round of re-examination with only about 10 people left. I recited Lu Xun's poem without blushing, and even performed a sketch.Although I was rejected in the end, I have no regrets so far. After all, I just do what I want and have the courage to "start". I was 19 years old that year, and I was assigned to teach in a well-known middle school like Beijing No. 13 Middle School (formerly Furen Middle School), and I taught the second year of junior high school as soon as I went there.Students in the second grade of junior high school are generally 15 years old. I heard that I am only four years older than them. Some relatives, friends and colleagues are all sweating for me.But I took a step, and I stepped into the threshold of the classroom. The first class was held safely until the bell rang, and the beginning was not difficult.

This is my life experience: all things start easy.At least, everything is not necessarily as difficult as people warn you at the beginning, the key is that you have to be brave in practice.Later, I met a lot of people, they have this kind of longing, and they often have at least some conditions to realize that wish. Opportunities are in front of them, and obstacles are very limited, but they always feel that everything is difficult at the beginning, and they are still hesitant. Yu, indecisive, timid, and hesitant to move forward, the best result is nothing more than talking but not doing.Their youthful heads are white, and they always let the external waves carry them all their lives. Even when they are old and retired, some desires that have been accumulated for many years rise up, such as wanting to play the piano, wanting to appear on stage, wanting to write novels, I want to cut my double eyelids for beauty... I have the money and leisure to realize these desires, but I still can't get started, "Isn't it a joke to learn to play the piano at such an age?" Do you have to be shocked?", "Is the novel so easy to write? I haven't received formal training!", "Standing into a beauty salon with white hair? Even if you have the heart, how can you have the courage!"... So The few days left are passing by, and they are still there, and their hearts are not dead, but they just "can't get started"-in fact, as long as they break through the redundant psychological barriers, what is the difficulty in the beginning?You just have to do it!

For young people, it is even more important to establish the belief that everything is easy at the beginning.You must know that the "old man's words" that "everything is difficult at the beginning" are mostly only applicable to the memories of things that have already begun. In fact, I don't want to deny that everything has its embarrassing side.The beginning, of course, has the particular embarrassment of the beginning.However, after a lot of experience, in comparison, I feel that compared with the difficulties in the continuous development after over-opening, it is easier to stretch your feet and take the first step.

Is the beginning of reform and opening up difficult?In fact, many of the people who took the lead, at that time, relied on a sense of righteous courage and did not think so comprehensively, so they put it into practice.Later, when encountering various complicated situations, it was even more difficult to persevere. The first to engage in township enterprises, the first to engage in non-government cross-border exchange of goods, the first to engage in high-tech joint stock companies, the first to speculate in stocks... until the beginning of writing obscure poems in literature, introducing stream-of-consciousness techniques and text subversion in novels , to engage in performance art and shoot films that can win first prizes in Western A-level film festivals, to sing pop songs and engage in rock and roll... In retrospect, the "first kick" was even kicked without knowing the depth. out.What is the hardest part?It is to develop in a healthy way, not to be deformed, not to stumble, not to sink, not to be annihilated, not to be forgotten, not to fall behind, not to stop, and to maintain the strength of sustainable development until now.That is to say, even if the beginning is indeed difficult, thinking strategically about making the beginning easier and establishing a mentality that "the beginning is easy and continues to be difficult" is conducive to the maturity of mind for young people; In other words, it is beneficial to strengthen the ability of self-adjustment in the change of the environment.Always remind yourself: It is easy to pass the exam, but difficult to succeed;

But my original intention of saying that everything is easy at the beginning is not to advocate a kind of reverse thinking. The year 2000 is a new starting line, and everyone is facing a new beginning, and I am no exception.Some people I know very well are whispering in my ears the newness of the new century. All in all, those previous experiences are useless. As far as literature is concerned, let him describe it like that, people who lack self-confidence are really scared to death. , especially me, no matter in terms of age, physical strength, memory, etc., I have lost my advantages. Hearing his dangerous words, I really don’t write, I just feel ashamed and jump off the building!But I don’t listen to his words. Since I still have a full desire to write in my heart, and there are indeed many accumulated materials that have not been written, not to mention my new life experience is still bursting with sparks of inspiration. Then, I will happily beat the drums again, open another book, and start writing—now I am not writing on the manuscript paper with a pen, but typing into the computer with a keyboard. easy.In short, it is necessary to act, to practice, to do what you say, or even to do it without saying it.

Of course, there is a self-made whip behind us - stick to the established concept, selected position, innocent personality, maintain the spirit of innovation and the passion of advancing bravely!In this new century where it is impossible for one's own life to span it any longer, what else can one expect but to race against the clock and overcome difficulties? Two of them became study rooms.By the time she traveled across the ocean—more accurately, it should be said that she traveled across the sea, and now she took a plane instead of a ship—to study abroad, her house was full of books.Now back home, even the room where she lived was full of books, and she felt like she had entered a library.She said to her mother, father is gone, you have been retired for many years, why don't you dispose of the redundant books, newspapers and magazines?My mother said that it has been donated to suburban schools in several batches, and now you see that none of them are superfluous.

Rona went to look through her father's bookshelves. Some books hadn't been used for many years, and there were old dust on them.Mother's book collection also has this kind of old dust.Why not hire hourly workers to clean up, she asked?My mother said she had invited her, and she was willing to contribute, but she shook out a piece of paper from the book. When she saw that it was yellow and brittle, she threw it away immediately. Your father picked it up from a garbage bag, and it was irreparable——Mother said the piece of paper The inscription of the text is a name that will last forever in the history of culture.She said, you should ask the hourly workers to ask before handling anything, wouldn't it be enough?The mother gave more examples, which were hard to guard against, such as vacuuming the thread-bound book, wiping the large picture album with a wet rag... She looked at her mother again.The mother saw through that she was going to ask, "Then keep everything under Chen Hui.

Who are you going to give it to?" She saw through her mother's intention to say, "Except for the old ashes, it is gold, and keep it for you to receive." The mother sighed, as if she was also sighing for her father. However, it is difficult to continue the local cultural heritage covered by old ashes. She also sighed. She realized that she had enough energy to spare, and the multinational company she worked for could bring her a very good material life. There is also the general level of cultural enjoyment in the West, especially the pleasure of traveling culture, but it is difficult to accept not only the form, but the essence of the local culture that her parents want her to inherit—even though the books her parents collect There are also quite a few books translated from the West and some original books in Western languages, but even Chen Hui on that book seems to tell her that in the end, it is still native to China, developing through extensive absorption, and needs to be inherited by the next generation. transmitted culture.

Rona went back there.She didn't tell her mother, and she didn't want to tell anyone else, that she kept some old ashes from her parents' book collection in a trinket box.One day, who will come to clean up those old ashes very carefully and without any mistakes, not in form, but in essence to inherit the cultural heritage of the Beijing family?That day she chose a single small building for installment payment, and the furniture had not yet arrived. She solemnly placed the small box on the fireplace, looking at the small box, through tears, it seemed that there were parents' eyes on the opposite side shoot over.
