The transition from art student to programmer [my story]

Preface

I have always wanted to write an article about my own experience. However, I have never had a good idea and I am very busy. Finally, I finally had a weekend. I thought about writing. Xiaonong is a hardworking worker in Shanghai. Think about it. I have been doing this business myself (programmer) for quite a while. I never thought I would do software before, and I never thought about what I would do or what I would do when I grew up. When I was young, the happiest thing was naturally After playing, my academic performance was not very good when I was young, except when I was in the third year of junior high school, I seemed to wake up a bit and worked harder, but it was too late to make up for it.

Before graduating from junior high school, there will be many teachers from high school or technical school to promote. At that time, parents didn’t care about us much. It depends on our own wishes and how we choose. Later, I chose to continue to high school. I don’t know what I think. I would choose to go to high school. Maybe I had a godly will. When I first arrived in high school, I didn’t study seriously. I just mixed up for a day. I had a good time. There was a comparison before that high school. The famous place is that the art major is very strong, but the good teachers who are slowly behind have been poached, and naturally they are not as good as before.

Just like every school, there is a very powerful class called the experimental class, which is filled with people with high grades in the high school entrance examination. When students go in there, they will ask to choose an art, including art and music, because in our school Culture is not particularly good. Most people will go to study art. After all, vocal music requires talent and higher difficulty. So every night before self-study, we will see the students in the experimental class practice sketching downstairs. Sometimes we I’ll look upstairs and I’ll be very envious. I think this thing is amazing. It’s like seeing other people’s children have fun toys. Maybe they want to learn art from that time. Everyone will be sensible or sensible. When I awakened, maybe at this time I planted a seed in my heart. Everyone wants to have better things. Only when they work hard can they have a sense of accomplishment. Things that you get for nothing are often nothing. At that time, I didn’t know these things, but I was envious of that I could study fine arts. I would be divided into classes after less than half a year in high school. In our high school, only the cultural scores are not very good schools. Generally, there will be two art classes and cultural classes. The cultural classes were mixed days at the time. I also hoped that I could get better knowledge, so after a ideological struggle, I decided to choose art. Since then, I have forged an indissoluble bond with art, just like the kind in TV dramas, everything is not smooth sailing. Difficulties were encountered at the beginning of this road.

(High school) The twists and turns of learning

Before choosing the path of art, that is, when there was no division into classes, my dad said: "Don't study art!"

In the minds of the older generation, I think this thing is useless and the tuition is expensive (mainly paper, pen, tools, books and paints, those who have studied art should know it), there is no need to learn it, you can learn it seriously. Study well, but the most out of our school is not culture, but art, so if you want to enter a good university, studying art is a more correct choice. I didn’t listen to him. That was the first time in my life. To make a decision. For the children of that grade, this is a very brave decision. It means that they have started to have their own ideas. Not only listening to the opinions of their parents, I still chose art. My father heard about it later. When I came to school with my mother, I was very scared at the time. Didn't you get killed before you even set sail? After finally making a decision by yourself, it was gone? I was also very worried.

My mother said to me: "Your dad won't let you learn, but you still chose it yourself. Your dad was going to change it for you today."
I 'm finished thinking about it, destiny, so unfair!
"But, I told your dad that if the child wants to learn, let him learn. We are here today to understand the situation. If you want to learn, learn well."
Seriously, I was really moved at the time. It seems that no one can understand our door. The feeling of being understood and supported for the first time is really good. It's like someone said to you, "Run forward, we are behind!"

In this way, I arrived at the art class with a thrilling experience. Sometimes I think that the story in high school can be written as a book, but the ending is not very good. It would be a pity if it is used to play a TV series. I admit that I think a lot. , Hahaha~

When I first entered the art class, I didn’t have any special feelings. I was still that ignorant boy. I still had a good time. I just wanted to touch the art early. After all, I still think it’s fun. Before I start describing, I will introduce you to sketches and sketches. And color

Sketch, sketch, color

  • Sketch: It is to ask you to draw a picture within 15 minutes or 30 minutes, usually a character

Character sketch

  • Sketching: Sketching is not so strict about time. Sketching requires the use of light and shade (black, white and gray) to draw a layered work, which can be characters, faces, still lifes, etc.

Still life drawing

  • Color: Use paint to paint still life, showing the layering and characteristics of objects
    color

These three are also taken during the art college entrance examination. The most important thing to learn these three is the "bone". For example, sketching the outline of clothes actually follows the bones and shapes of the human body. Clothes are only the shape. You have to understand the clothes inside. Things, I believe that everyone has learned how to solve the cow by Pao Ding and understand its principle and structure.

Awakening

When I first started learning, it was very boring to practice line drawing, and then imitated sketches of characters. Before going to self-study every night, I would simulate an assignment and give it to the teacher. Sometimes I would be called by the teacher to say what you want. So, what are the problems? I thought I was really talented and able to be pointed out by the teacher. It didn’t take long to find out, because I painted too badly, so the teacher had to point out my mistakes and paint well. I don't need the teacher to say, I am arrogant. . .

Just like this, I would go to school after a day, but it’s not hard work. At that time, every month there would be a monthly examination for art, which is a mock examination. Students who painted well can be displayed on the bulletin board. At that time, I was still It belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the level. Looking at the works being displayed, I wonder why I can’t. Didn’t I learn this by myself? This is what you gave yourself? This is too bad!

So I said to a good friend of mine: "One day I will be on the list", although I don't know where the courage comes from.
He said: "Just you?"
Sure enough, even my friends didn't believe me. I was so sorry that I wanted to learn this.
So I said to him very seriously: "As long as you paint with your heart, it will definitely have an effect!"

People’s change may be just a moment, maybe it’s accumulated over time, after all, it’s like awakening. Tell yourself: hard work + hard work 以大多数人的努力程度之低,根本轮不到拼天赋, so I finished my clothes after lunch at noon, and when my classmates went to lunch, I was practicing painting. After the evening self-study, when everyone was resting, I was practicing drawing. When I returned to the dormitory, the lights were turned off. When I practiced sketching every day, I would rotate different people to be a model. Since then, I have never been a model. Being a model is just to have more time to paint. On weekends, I would go to school to paint by myself. At that time, I thought about how to learn and how to learn well. It was just like having a chicken blood. Even at home, I would feel bored. , Is this still me? ? ?

I'm bored at home, is this me?

Bottlenecks and breakthroughs

When you wake up early every day, you will see the early rising sun and the signal tower. At that time, it seems to be full of faith. Say cheer to yourself every day! Sometimes I don’t know how I got through that period of time. Fortunately, my efforts have paid off, and my paintings are getting better and better. When I saw my paintings on the list for the first time, I was very excited at that time. It is not in vain, and cultural achievements are gradually improving. It seems that all efforts have been rewarded. When the painting is not good, I will look for problems and read books. Slowly, my own works will be more and more. I'm on the list, where would I go if I was thinking about a copy? Tsinghua University and Peking University seem to be not enough, but Wuhan University seems to be okay, not too close to home, so why not go to Wuhan University. I really think, wake up and stop dreaming!

Encourage yourself

Just like in martial arts novels, when your skills are getting deeper and deeper, one day you suddenly find that no matter how hard you try, your skills seem to have stagnated or even regressed. When you discover this, you are very panic. The things that I painted well in the past are slowly becoming bad. It's like reaching a bottleneck, and I can't break it no matter how I rushed. If there is no way to break through, that might be the case, maybe even worse, it's like crazy. I am very painful. When you can't make progress or even go backwards no matter how hard you work, you will feel desperate, and you will feel a little bit depressed at that time.

If you are sad, it looks a little naive

Although I have encountered difficulties and setbacks, it is not my style to give up lightly, so writing a diary has become a way for me to vent. I will write down my grievances and unhappiness in words, which will help me relax a little. Time is the best. The good medicine slowly seemed to be less irritable than before, and began to return to the previous level.

joke

Just when I feel that everything is progressing in a good direction, destiny is like a joke with me. Art students have an exam called "joint exam". This is as important as the college entrance examination. It determines your where to go to college for art students, the college entrance examination scores is a cultural divide + art points , (ps: art students only half the time in learning cultural studies) will form your final college entrance examination total score, on the entrance exam to the previous period Over time, I accidentally broke my leg, which means that I can’t participate in the entrance exam. When an art student compares his performance with a cultural student by relying on his cultural performance alone, he can’t compare himself because he didn’t participate in the entrance exam. You can only refer to the college entrance examination as a cultural student, and naturally the college entrance examination score will not be too high!

After the college entrance examination, I thought about going to repeat the exam, but my dad didn’t support it, so he had a fight with him, thinking that I would not study anymore, just do something. My aunt persuaded me that studying is very helpful, no matter it is What? It’s not the same if you have a diploma. ( Reading is really important ). I calmed down for a few days later, thinking that no matter what school I went to first, I didn’t think about going to work or what to do. I studied first, so I applied for the exam. At an ordinary school, my mother asked about what major to study. Later, I learned that computers are pretty good, and that boys are also suitable, so I asked the online teacher. At the time, I thought it was related to art. Yes, the other party said: PS is related to art. Only after learning what it has to do with art? ? ? ? Cheated! ! !

Although the first effort in my life was gone, I didn’t regret it. I was still grateful. At least I worked hard for my choice in high school. I didn’t leave any regrets and I worked hard. At that time, I worked hard. I am super handsome, so I am very grateful to myself for working hard in high school. I believe in the meaning of striving, hard work will not deceive, and I have gained a lot in this process. As for the result, it is not important anymore. The gains in the process are more important than the results. It lets me know that I will be a better person in the future and can do better!

(University) I am forging ahead

A good person does not depend on what kind of environment you are in, but what kind of person you want to be. I signed up for the computer major in this way. When I arrived at the university, I was not frustrated by the previous things, but was full of enthusiasm. For me, this is a new beginning. To live new and exciting in the university, I will work harder and work harder than before. It won't make you successful, but it will make you more likely to succeed. That's enough!

When I first arrived at university, I was a person who used "One Finger Zen" even when typing. To make up for this, I could only practice more. You know the kind of people who go to Internet cafes to download Jinshan Typing and practice typing. Does it feel like looking at it? Hahaha, I have experienced that the Internet cafe in our school was not called an Internet cafe at that time, it was called "Wenchang Xuegu".

In college, as long as it is activities and competitions, I basically go to participate, but there is a very strange point, that is, every time I participate in a competition, I am second, so my friend asked me how do I always get second? Actually, I am also puzzled. The one that I remember the most is the departmental competition, the software design competition. Because I need a partner, I got in. The goddess of our class participated in the competition together, thinking that the goddess is coming. , I can’t lose the chain, so I took the speech in advance and walked over and over again to revise the manuscript and memorized it by the green lake of our school. Hundreds of people underneath watched densely. I was the only one on the stage. They were really nervous. Do you know the feeling that your face will tremble slightly when you are nervous? Fortunately, I have already memorized the manuscript very skillfully in advance, plus the goddess The partner was also very powerful and successfully completed the demonstration together. When I finished the demonstration, the audience was applauding. That was the first time I heard so much applause in person. When I went to the stage, I heard someone say that That's so cool.

Ignore me so thin

There are too many first times in university, the first time to be a study committee, the first time to enter the student union, the first time to be a minister, the first time to get a scholarship (basically every year I have a scholarship), the first time The first time in the class in all subjects, the first time selling apples on Christmas Eve, the first time to give a speech in front of so many people, the first time to have a barbecue outside with my friends and so on. . . .

I’ve been at a loss in university, I don’t know how to work hard, I don’t know how to move forward, sometimes I feel that university life is a stagnant pool, but life is like this, it’s true that it’s plain and plain, and there are so many wonderful stories to wait. For you, when you are at a loss, move forward, what we can do is to work hard and work hard to live up to every day. I still remember the one sent at the time, and now it seems that we still feel touched

Hahaha

Sometimes I’m tired in college, but I’m very fulfilling. I also try to do all kinds of interesting things in college. I remember that I have made a music player, which can search for song titles, and listened to it for a while. Song, for me, learning computer may not be a special hobby, but there is a good point- doing one line and loving another line, learning something will be serious to learn, will regard this as my hobby, and for it Struggle and work hard. , I have no regrets for the university, the only regret may be that I did not fall in love. If you can, you still have to talk about a vigorous relationship in college.

(Society) Me on the road

When I was still in school, my relatives told me to go to Shenzhen, because they were all in Shenzhen, and they happened to have a caregiver. But I wanted to go to Shanghai more because I read a story when I was in college and was influenced by the story. , So I chose Shanghai.

  Said it was two outsiders who went out to work. One goes to Shanghai and the other goes to Beijing. But when I was waiting for the bus in the waiting hall, they all changed their minds because the people next door argued that Shanghainese are smart, and foreigners charge a fee for directions; Beijingers are simple, and they not only give buns to people who can’t eat. old clothes.
  People who go to Shanghai think that Beijing is better. If you can't make money, you won't be starving. Fortunately, the car didn't arrive, otherwise you would really fall into the fire pit.  
  People who go to Beijing think that Shanghai is better. You can make money by showing people the way. What else can't make money? Fortunately, I haven't gotten into the car. Otherwise, I really lose a chance to get rich.  
  So they met at the refund office. It turned out that those who were going to Beijing got tickets from Shanghai, and those who went to Shanghai got tickets from Beijing.
  People who go to Beijing find that Beijing is really good. In the first month he arrived in Beijing, he didn't do anything, and he didn't even get hungry. Not only the space water in the lobby of the bank can be drunk for free, but also the welcome snacks in the big shopping malls can be eaten for free.  
  People who go to Shanghai find that Shanghai is indeed a city that can make a fortune. You can make money by doing anything. You can make money by leading the way, you can make money by opening the toilet, and you can make money by getting cold water to wash your face. As long as you think of something, you can make money with a little effort.  
  With the feelings and knowledge of the country people about the soil, the next day, he installed ten soil containing sand and leaves on the construction site, and sold it to the Shanghainese who did not see the soil but loved flowers in the name of "flower pot soil" .  
  On that day, he went back and forth between the suburbs six times and made a net profit of 50 yuan. A year later, with "flower pot soil", he even owned a small shop in Shanghai.  
  In the long walks and alleys, he has another new discovery: some shops have bright floors and darker signs. Only after inquiring did he know that it was the result of the cleaning company only cleaning the buildings but not the signs.  
  He immediately seized the gap, bought a herringbone ladder, buckets, and rags, and set up a small cleaning company that was responsible for cleaning signs.  
  Now his company has more than 150 employees, and his business has expanded from Shanghai to Hangzhou and Nanjing.  
  Not long ago, he took a train to Beijing to inspect the cleaning market. At Beijing Railway Station, a tattered picker put his head into the soft-sleeper carriage and asked him for an empty bottle. When handing over the bottle, both of them were stunned because they had exchanged their tickets five years ago.

In your life, you will encounter thousands of choices, big and small, good and bad, beautiful and ugly. Maybe a small choice at the beginning will have a profound impact on your life. Smart people know how to choose a positive and meaningful opportunity. They know how to be aggressive in this opportunity and seize business opportunities.

It’s been a while since high school and university years have passed. What we need to do is to look forward. Everything in the past will help us become better people. Don’t let down the dedication and hard work of those days. Forget those who have encouraged us in the trough, one day we will become the people we want to be, do what we want to do, love the people we want to love, I'm still on the way, still working hard And move forward!

I am a small farmer, and I am afraid of infinite truth, and I will have further joy. Come on!
