Chapter 10 There are articles everywhere

It is said on the Internet that Turks love to drink coffee very much, and they can even use the coffee grounds left in the cup to tell the fortune of the drinker. It’s not just coffee grounds that can be used to tell fortunes. The ancients said: “You can know the book by seeing the small things.” From many small signs, you can see the big situation. For example, there is a theory that the palm lines will change due to different tools. Relatively long; always holding a hoe, For people with a hammer, the emotional line will be straighter, and the palm reader can only infer from the situation of the line.Another school of thought is

, everything has been evolved for thousands of years, so the "reason" between heaven and earth can be seen from everything. ". Even if you pick up a small stone randomly in the valley, you can guess what happened to "it" in the past. Many of the above "seeing the small as a book" and "seeing the big from the small" are actually "learning from things", that is, learning from every "thing" To think, to observe, to get the knowledge and principles. The same is true for writing articles. Many young friends say that they have no inspiration, and when they encounter a composition topic, they don't know how to start.Unexpectedly, as long as you know how to "investigate things to gain knowledge", you can realize some truths and lead to many articles from everything around you.

To give a few examples - Now I am writing a manuscript at my desk, and I see a utility knife in front of me, and I can write: "Actually, there is only one blade in the utility knife, but the clever inventor made many notches on the blade, so the current one When the segment is blunt, as long as it is broken along the notch, the segment below becomes sharp again.As for the old style blades, then It is a flat and large piece, and it is often discarded just because the tip is not sharp enough.By the same token, many people spend their time without counting Although there is a lot of time planned, only a very small part of it is used, and most of the rest is wasted.Rather than planning ahead,

Do things in a timely manner and come efficiently. " Isn't this how to see the big from the small, from a utility knife to the method of using time? Good! Then I saw the stapler on the table, and I can also use the method of "gewuzhihe" to think: "The stapler is a simple and amazing thing. It's hard to believe that the staples are short and thin and don't look hard at all. , It can penetrate hundreds of sheets of paper at once.I looked at it for a long time, and finally figured it out: the real reason is that it can transfer power to Concentrate on two points and apply force vertically. Many people in this world seem weak and have no great talents, but they can achieve greatness.

Great careers are all because he can recognize the goal clearly, concentrate all his strength, do not hesitate, do not hesitate, and struggle until he is like a staple. end. " Doesn't this also lead to the truth of life from the stapler? When it comes to staplers, it reminds me of "compasses". You can also use compasses to "know things"—— "When I was young, every time I walked past the advertising billboards in front of the cinema, with circular patterns on them, my father would point to them and say, 'Believe it or not? In the middle of each circle, you can find a small hole. It is the center of the circle, which must be fixed first by the painters of advertisements in order to draw a circle. Sometimes their compasses are not big enough, so they drive a nail in the center of the circle first, and then tie the thread. One end of the thread is tied with a pen and pulled around. , you can draw a beautiful circle.'

It has been many years since I heard my father say this, but every time I pass by such an advertising billboard, I think of his words, and what he said, "A person must have a plan and a heart in doing things, and he wants to draw the circle of his life." ? Set your mind first!'” You said, isn’t this a short article that is both emotional and allegorical? So writing an article is not difficult at all, as long as you read more books as I said in my recent article, and think from the direction of "people, places, things and things" , coupled with the skill of "investigating things to know", will definitely be able to have both sides.

Finally, let me show you an article I wrote in my debut novel "Whispers from the Fluorescent Window", which I learned from punctuation when I was a student—— Life is like an article. At the end of the article, some people use a "period", some people use an "exclamation point", and some people end it with a "question mark". Confucius and Mencius are saints, they established their own ideological system, so they use periods; Yue Fei and Wang Bo died before their ambitions were fulfilled, so they are exclamation points; People, had to end with a question mark.

Having said so much, I can sum it up in one sentence: "A grain of sand creates a world; a flower creates a kingdom." As long as you pay attention and observe more, you will find wonderful words everywhere!
