While there is no sun, while the computer is still on, and while I can still write, I quickly summarize the past year.
There is no other feeling, but it feels too fast, time is too hasty...
The biggest feeling is the two words "change", if you have to say four words "change too fast", just like the current Yi sentimental policy, from "impeded" to "a thousand miles away", in a flick of a finger.
Like smoke, like a dream, like wind, like a shadow...
I can't remember the rhetoric at the beginning of the year,
I can no longer see the busy traffic of the past,
A little cough, sore throat...
The year-end summary of the past is like a corner of the old home in the diary that I wrote when I was a child. It is not for viewing, but for memory and commemoration.
The past is unbearable...
There are exceptions. At the moment of writing a new year-end summary, I will turn over the summary of previous years and glance at it.
Unknowingly, I have been writing for 10 years...

1. My 2022
1.1 Input
The physical books I have finished reading in 2022 (part)
My 2022 Fan Deng listening report
Except for a few books for writing reading notes, there are not many things that can be written down after reading other books.
The joy of reading lies in the moment when you close the book after reading the last page, you will feel the exhilarating pleasure of climbing to the top of the mountain to conquer the mountains and "see all the small mountains at a glance"!
I now firmly believe that the so-called problems we are facing now have been encountered by our ancestors a long time ago, and they have even formed a systematic solution and written it in a certain book. The difficulty is that we don't know which book it is, and what's even more difficult is that we don't know how to find the answer from the book.
1.2 Output
Basically maintain an article output every week, 80%+ are technical blog posts, and the rest are reading notes or growth experience.
Cooperated with Gupao Technology to update and complete the live course "Elasticsearch 8.1 Certified Expert Training Camp ".
The video number + station B has output some technical basic videos.
1.3 Running
2. Examine yourself
2.1 Blog post
Started blogging on CSDN in 2012. As of December 31, 2022, the number of visits is nearly 5.83 million+ (increased from last year: 600,000+), ranking: 151 (the same as last year, with recent fluctuations), and the number of followers: 19,669 (Increased from the same period last year: 833 people).
There is still a big gap from the annual goal set at the end of 2016 (see the figure below), and the 7-year goal has not been achieved in the end. Little regret, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"
"A little progress every day" is a point that is very easy to say but difficult to do, but if you really stick to it, it will inevitably produce a "compound interest" effect.
Blog posts are not scarce, or have become saturated. What is lacking is good content and continuous updates.
Scarcity + Depth + Good Content + Continuous Updates = Invincible! At this point, I am still far behind.
2.2 Official account
After five consecutive years of high growth, the growth of the official account has been weak, and the overall decline has gone downhill.
From a broad perspective, this is the trend of the times. The bonus of the official account is over, unless there is top-level scarce good content. Brother Xiao Ma also said that the video account has become "the hope of the audience at Goose Factory".
Personally, I am not chasing station B and video accounts because of the general trend, but it is true that "being able to explain a problem in an easy-to-understand way" is very attractive in itself, and it is worth working hard for a lifetime.
3. Cognitive leap
I've been thinking about this part for a long time.
Thinking deeply and reviewing the past year, what pictures can be frozen, and what moments can move me.
3.1 In uncertain times, seek certainty!
The general environment is changing, industries are upgrading, and the employment situation is not optimistic. Everything seems to be full of uncertainty. How to break the game?
Only in an era of uncertainty, the need for certainty is king! What certainties are sought?
First: the ability to "respond to all changes with the same".
We have the ability to cope with various changes such as environmental changes, enterprise changes, and personnel adjustment changes.
Including but not limited to: technology in hand, I have what no one else has, and I have the ability to improve what others have.
Not afraid of being laid off, not afraid of being optimized, and the ability to resist risks.
"If he is strong, let him be strong, and the breeze blows the mountains; if he is strong, let him be strong, and the bright moon shines on the river."
The "he" here is the external environment, and we must have the ability to resist external changes.
If not, we have to cultivate now.
Second: "Long-termism" ability.
Don't be trapped by the uncertainty around you, think long-term, and look at the present with the eyes of the future. In the long run, what is more important to us?
It is easy to say that the IT industry is not an old Chinese doctor, but it is not easy to do.
Third: the ability to productize yourself
For a product to be released successfully and continue to develop, it needs to have the following:
Meet or even exceed the needs of customers;
Flexibly adapt to changes in the market;
Exclusive highlights;
Have a large audience or user base.
The cognition of productizing oneself comes from the " Naval Book ", which has two core points:
One is yourself. To dig out the points in yourself that can continue to iteratively grow, and the longer the time, the greater the value.
One is productization. "Points that can be sold multiple times or infinitely for one investment" and points that can be upgraded iteratively.
Things that can be accumulated (solid professional foundation, practical business skills or communication skills and other workplace skills, reading, blogging, video recording, book writing, etc.) can all be regarded as things that can be "productized". Accumulate a little to make a lot, accumulate sand to make a tower!
These are the future!
3.2 Time never speaks, but answers all questions
This cognition comes from Mr. Ji Xianlin's book of the same name. In the long river of time, all fame and wealth are things outside the body, "If you don't bring it with you, you don't take it with you when you die."
Under the premise that the general direction is correct, just pull the cart hard, keep your head down, and look up at the starry sky at the right time, and leave the rest to time.
Time is a good thing, how you use it, how it will reward you. If you feel like you haven't gotten what you deserve, there are only two reasons, either the method is wrong or "the time has not come".
3.3 Wako Dojo
This knowledge comes from Zhang Hongjie's audio class "Zeng Guofan's Multifaceted Life", which I have learned twice.
"Destroy its sharpness, resolve its disputes; harmonize its light, and its dust" originated from the "Tao Te Ching", which can be interpreted as: "Don't show your sharpness, dissolve disputes, dampen people's sharpness, relieve their disputes, restrain them their splendor, and confuse their world."
The young Zeng Guofan was full of enthusiasm, and he sneered at the actions of his colleagues in the officialdom, and would not "collaborate" with them. But the result is that there are no friends around, and even when he is eating, others will go to other seats when they see him coming, which shows his ability to deal with the world. But why change?
My personal understanding is: for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, and to move towards the goal of being a "sage".
A further interpretation is: reconciliation with the world, reconciliation with the past bohemian and cynical character. The final result is: turn enemies into friends and use them for my own use.
I brought this theory into my own age of 36, do I need to be with the light too?
I used to have a lot of self-preconceptions or prejudices. For example, there is a very good TV series called "Bright Sword". When I was young, my prejudice was that war movies should be called "XX War". So, no matter who says yes, I will not take a look at this TV.
Now it seems that this is a typical narrow cognition, with very serious cognitive misunderstandings and cognitive biases!
After being in the same dust as the light, I will find that my young self is stupid, not only stupid, but my cognition can't keep up, and there are too many things I don't know.
After being in the same dust as the light, I will find that the people around me are working hard and growing in their own fields and in their own unique ways. Everyone has cognitive differences, but I will stand on the other side's perspective and understand each other with empathy!
After being in harmony with the light, I will think that the cross talk between Guo Degang and Yu Qian is the best state of communication. Even if there are disputes, it will lay the groundwork for the "burden".
3.4 If you can't cross this wall, throw your backpack over it first
Don't wait until you're all ready to go. Sometimes, throwing the backpack over first is more than half the battle.
Don't seek the optimal solution, the solution that can be obtained in a limited time may be the optimal solution. I learned this knowledge through the story of Plato and Socrates in the book "Introduction to Psychology" "The Law of the Ear of Wheat: There is no biggest and best ear of wheat in the world".
The older you get, especially after you have kids, the less time you have for yourself.
If everything is still demanding perfection, many things may be difficult at the beginning.
My personal greatest experience is that there are goals + plans + dismantling plans to implement the three are indispensable, and if one link is missing, things often fail.
If I look back and review myself, the reason why many things cannot be accomplished is that I have no goals, which is equivalent to "I haven't even thrown my backpack over the wall", let alone taking other actions.
3.5 Always be ready! Preparation must be planned every day of life
In the era of short videos, the two shots that touched me the most this year are as follows.
One comes from CCTV's interview with Kipchoge, the first two-time Olympic champion who ran the marathon in less than 2 hours. I watched it many times in just over 4 minutes.
Very shocking, Kipchoge is extremely focused on running, practicing running 30 kilometers every day, preparing for the three consecutive championships in 2024, and challenging the limits of human beings with his own strength.
"Running brings food to my family and brothers and sisters, and more importantly, I can use running to inspire the world", sincere and moving......
I have been sighing and warning myself: "If we have this kind of realm in our life, it won't be too bad!"
The second comes from the World Cup commentary. I'm a fake football fan, and I don't usually watch football, but every four years in the World Cup, I will stay up more or less late to watch a few games. I witnessed the whole process of the birth of the "Plumball King" with great excitement and excitement. When the child grows up, I will tell her about it.
"Football Poet" He Wei's wonderful commentary has been heard for a long time, and he has been paying attention to it . As the saying goes: "Swan geese match He Wei, and there is no regret in losing."
When He Wei talked about how the "classic commentary" came about, he said, "Your preparation must be planned every day of your life, every thing you do... I see the scenery outside the window, in fact What I often think in my mind is how can this be related to the scene on the football field, that is, you have to think like this all the time, so I think this is a lifelong career. Like those athletes who play football and win the World Cup , you have to prepare for it every day"! After listening to it, I am in awe! What seems to be a few hours of commentary has actually been 20 years + continuous efforts!
In a sense, Kipchoge and He Wei are the same kind of people. They are both people who prepare for their ideals every day, and they are role models worthy of my whole life to learn from!
summary
The changes of the times far exceed our cognition, and the only constant factor is "change". There are two roads before us: either follow the trend, or follow the old ways.
Following the old ways will only make you more self-styled or even difficult to move forward, but following the trend will lead to a better tomorrow.
36 years old, another reincarnation of life, is also my birth year.
I hope that I will be more calm and calm, pack my bags and move on!
Life is only a few rounds, and it takes one step at a time.
But ask about hard work, not about harvest.
If a person has no name, he can concentrate on practicing swords (the classic lines of the movie "Heroes").
Time will do the rest...
