Chapter 2 1. Good life without purpose

In our country, GDP can grow by seven, eight, or nine points every year.If it weren't for the fact that many, many people "deeply invested" several times, how could there be such a prosperous scene.It's just that our investment is very purposeful and pursues returns.Here, there are many people who invest, even if they invest in love, art and friendship, they can calculate the internal, external and central rate of return. I once had a friend whose husband was a sinologist in California. The couple were deeply invested in Chinese literati several times, and brought them to California one by one. A little love and pornography, but the payoffs are not so good.For example, they recommended an unknown actor to a big director, and the actor ended up sleeping with the director and quarreling with them.For example, they also introduced me to the director for a small job, and when they got into a fight with the actor who slept with the director, I took a neutral position and didn't take their side to condemn this damn little bitch. From then on, they Don't waste time on me anymore.

All in all, our input is purposeful.We invest in friendship for relationship; we invest in love for possession; we invest in art for fame and family.Our expectations of rewards are uncontrollable, and when we don't get them, we can firmly give up.Here, there is a bottom line in everything. If you are in business, this word should be translated as "bottom line", which is a numerical concept; but for those who pursue rewards for friendship, love and art, a more accurate translation may be "Butt line".His ass will never sit by your side again when the expected rewards are not there.

I've only taken three philosophy classes in my life before calling it quits.My investment in knowledge at that time was very clear, it was for diplomas and scholarships.Philosophy is too profound for me to understand, but I am afraid that my grades will be too low and I will lose my scholarship and diploma.But I still remember very clearly the things taught in these three classes.The first class talked about "purpose"; the second class talked about "process"; the third class the teacher asked everyone to position themselves as pursuing the purpose or the process.I have always strived to be a person who pursues goals, but in my heart I am a person who pursues processes, because my fatal shortcoming is playfulness.As long as it's fun, I want to do it, regardless of your internal rewards and butt lines, don't think so much.So I created a miracle in which the growth rate of personal wealth entered a negative number in an economic miracle in which GDP increased by seven, eight, or nine points.

There are not many fools like me, but there are still some. The people who are messing around with me at the 798 factory in Dashanzi are such people.Knowing that there are still less than 12 months left, the landlord will push everyone out, and the current decoration will be completely flattened by bulldozers in a short period of time. Some people are still moving here, some are still decorating, and some are still creating .There is probably no other return for this kind of investment except to enjoy the process. I really want to call on everyone to invest deeply without purpose.You must know that the fun of life is in the process, and the purpose is only to climax in a second after the long process.
