Chapter 4 Talk about calm

"Ordinary mind" should be prepared with "ordinary", not cramming. "Normal mind" is also "equivalent mind". Only by keeping your mind in a calm state can you respond to everything with the same. peace of mind, peace of mind "I'm so nervous about the biological science exam the day after tomorrow." You said with a frown during dinner. "Be normal." I answered briefly first, and then added: "Your mother and I have normal minds, so we knew you were going to pass the exam, so we didn't ask you too much, for fear that you would ask questions because of us. More nervous and less normal.

"What is a normal mind? I don't understand." You said. Good! Let me talk to you about normality with a normal heart! "Normal mind" is like those three words, it means "ordinary mind" and "ordinary mood".For example, you usually eat an egg and a piece of bread for breakfast, and sleep for seven hours at night; during the exam, you also sleep for seven hours as usual, and eat an egg and a piece of bread in the morning, which means you have a normal mind. As for those who are not normal, they may only sleep for five hours during the exam. In the morning, in order to increase their physical strength, they eat an extra egg, a piece of bread, drink an extra glass of juice, and eat a banana. When they arrive at the exam room, they drink a bottle of chicken essence.The result, guess what?

Because his lifestyle is different from usual, he doesn’t sleep well, his metabolism is already bad, and he eats too much, he is not used to it, and he may have stomach pains in the examination room. I once vomited because I had no sense of normality when I was taking the college entrance examination. I also had two big bumps on my face on the day I hosted a special program on TV because of my lack of normality. why? Because before the exam, I specially bought a few bottles of health drinks in order to replenish my strength. The drinks are mainly amino acids, which I am not used to.As for the big bag of the host program, it was because I looked in the mirror the night before and saw a few pimples, which were squeezed and not squeezed well, causing inflammation.

I usually squeeze my pimples and seldom get inflamed, why did I have a problem that day? It's very simple, because there is no common sense—— Usually I squeeze as much as I want, anyway, the next day is nothing serious, and it doesn’t matter if it breaks. Inflammation for two days. That's why I say, have a normal mind, how you usually get used to, keep that way before the exam, and there will be no problems. I even suggest that you go to bed at the usual time, even if you are ready early, don’t go to bed early because you want to sleep a few more hours, because too many people have learned this lesson, that is, when there is a big event the next day, go to bed early. When I go to bed, I am neither sleepy nor nervous, but cause insomnia.

Doesn't mom say it at dinner too? When she was a student, she didn't wash her hair before the big exam, and she didn't wear new clothes or shoes on the day of the exam. I was like her when I was a student, and that was also a way of maintaining a sense of normalcy.Because when you pay too much attention to clothing, or wear clothes or shoes that you are not used to, or cut your hairstyle that you are not used to, causing distraction, or a temporary situation, it will affect the exam instead. For example, when I was young, I once participated in a speech contest across Taipei City, especially when I wore new clothes and leather shoes that day, I almost had a problem.

Because I just bent over to tie my shoelaces, my crotch cracked and cracked.After I sewed my trousers and went out in a hurry, I found that the leather shoe was new, hard and hit my feet, and it hurt when I took a step, which caused me to limp even when I went on stage. You said, isn't that unusual heart self-defeating? After most of my life, I feel that the more unusual things happen to me, the more normal I need to be. So the day before the gallbladder removal operation, I wrote articles, read books, and watched TV shows as usual, and went to bed at the same time as usual; every time before I go abroad, I must also go to bed, wake up, and play at the same time as usual.

I have seen too many people! Many people rushed to arrange unfinished business before traveling abroad; the night before boarding the plane, they first went to social parties, ate and drank, and packed their luggage until late at night. In the end, they sprained themselves before leaving the country After getting on the plane, I started to have diarrhea again. In addition, I didn’t have enough rest before going abroad, so I caught a cold within a few days. Maybe you want to say, of course domestic affairs must be arranged, and of course luggage must be packed. Yes! That's exactly what I'm trying to emphasize.

The more unusual situations you are about to face, the earlier you should make arrangements to distribute the unusual burdens with the ample time ahead.Just like an exam, if you want to have a normal mind, you should prepare early; if you want to be calm before going abroad, you should plan early, and even pack your bags two or three days ago; if you want to wear new clothes, You should try on the clothes early on, and even walk around in and out of the shoes to see if you can stride? Will your feet step on the corner of the skirt? "Ordinary mind" should be prepared with "ordinary", not cramming.

"Normal mind" is also "equivalent mind", keep your mind always in a peaceful state, so that you can respond to all changes with the same. Therefore, only those who are always working hard and always vigilant are qualified to talk about "normal heart".
