Chapter 141 Always Gentle, Always Positive(1/2)
"Accompanying to Dawn" live broadcast room has more than 4 million viewers, but no one has ever thought that reading on his own can also have a certain therapeutic effect on the pathological society.
Reading is forced for most people.
When I was young, I had to study for compulsory education and deal with exams. After graduation, I had to study for work requirements in order to master skills faster.
Therefore, when it comes to reading, everyone instinctively will have a conflict, and therefore most people still feel that reading is not very useful to their lives, so that the argument that reading is useless is permeated in society now.
Most of the people who promote this argument are sinister people, because they know that reading can change their destiny. They know that as more and more people study, their efficiency in seeking benefits will be reduced, so they must promote this seemingly correct "truth" to cover up their true purpose.
This student Xiao Zhu in the live broadcast room probably thought of dropping out of school because he received too much information.
But after Wang Shifeng's answer, his ideas changed.
It was not that he understood Wang Shifeng's good intentions, but that he was moved by his last words.
This is the pain of the times, and the reason why we read is to treat this pathology.
An inexplicable sense of honor and responsibility ignited the young man's middle school soul.
"Teacher Wang, I want to study hard and get into a good university, but can I really change my destiny and society like this?" Xiao Zhu suddenly asked with some concern.
"I won't mention whether it can change society and destiny. But I can tell you with certainty that every knowledge you learn and every book you have read will shape you a better one." Wang Shifeng chuckled when he heard this.
"Reading is actually the same as eating. We have eaten so much food since we were young, and countless types and quantities were finally integrated into bones and flesh, and grew into us now. The same goes for reading. The thinking logic and knowledge fragments developed in the long-term learning process will also create your soul and temperament.
If you stop studying, it means you are stopping growth, and then malnutrition leads to sluggishness. So what you need to consider is not the purpose of reading, but the meaning of reading, and whether you want to be a better self."
Whether to become a better self has made everyone vague.
Of course, who is willing to rot in the quagmire?
"Teacher Wang, you must have read a lot of books so well." Xiao Zhu said astonished.
Although he still doesn't understand the truth very much, it doesn't prevent him from feeling that Wang Shifeng is a cultural person.
"In terms of quantity, it is indeed a lot, but knowledge is infinite and constantly evolving. Zhuangzi said that my life is boundless, but knowledge is boundless. With limitlessness, it is almost gone. The knowledge that can be learned in a person's limited life is also limited, but no matter what kind of knowledge he has, there is a joy to go in one inch." Wang Shifeng's tone was light and with inexplicable heroism, instantly ignited the atmosphere in the live broadcast room.
"Teacher Wang, will you really be happy to study?" Xiao Zhu expressed some doubts.
"Happiness is essentially a reaction brought by dopamine secretion. There are two concepts of satisfaction and happiness in psychology. Instant satisfaction and delayed satisfaction. Learning is delayed satisfaction, which means that you need to go through a period of pain before you can get happiness. However, this happiness can last for a long time. On the contrary, instant satisfaction means that you give up learning now and get happiness immediately, but this happiness is short-lived." Wang Shifeng smiled.
"Well, I don't understand it very much, is it still the consequences caused by previous opportunity costs?" Xiao Zhu was a little confused.
"As much, let me give you an example. For example, if you have to memorize English words, the process will definitely be painful, but the happiness after memorization can be used in many scenarios, such as exam results, related majors, conversations and even showing off, will bring continuous happiness. Just imagine, you have mastered one more foreign language, maybe you can't use it normally, but once you have the opportunity to use it, people around you will definitely surrender, respect and appreciation to you. Is that kind of happiness very special?" Wang Shifeng said.
The audience entered the scene.
Indeed, I was so happy.
"But if you give up memorizing English words, you will definitely be very happy right now. This happiness will stop in the exam. The pain of failing the subject will dilute your happiness. Then you will not use all the happy scenes related to this matter, and you will not be able to enjoy that kind of happiness. So I said before that reading and learning should not be utilitarian, because its reward cycle is a bit long, but it does not mean that it has no reward." Wang Shifeng emphasized again.
"I probably understand, but Teacher Wang, my learning ability is quite poor. Do you have any methods to teach it?" Xiao Zhu was still very clever and wanted to master the learning tips and avoid detours.
"Most of the poor learning ability are due to the method. I will introduce to you a method called Feynman's learning method. Simply put, learning is divided into two types: active and passive. Everyone thinks that when learning is painful, it is in a passive learning state, which absorbs knowledge based on listening, reading and writing. Active learning is to absorb knowledge through discussion, sharing, and practice.
Feynman's learning method is to understand and share knowledge by passing on the new knowledge you have learned to others and act as a teacher. Because when imparting knowledge, you will receive positive feedback from the other party, such as worship, admiration and other satisfaction, and you will also receive some doubts. These doubts are the driving force for you to re-cluster these knowledge. I just asked Mr. Yang to open a Weibo post to urge learning and sharing, which is the method used to test it personally." Wang Shifeng finally chuckled.
Chemistry is teaching?
So there is such a learning method?
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned at first, and then quickly understood the principle.
It's probably 'teaching you to be a human being'.
This phenomenon is particularly prevalent on the Internet, and it has become the norm from the entertainment industry to the academic industry.
Fans teach celebrities how to be celebrities, and netizens teach the principles of missiles to professors.
Those who are more extreme will develop into stubborn.
Because of an argument, you can spend one day or even a few days to check the information, and you can reply hundreds of layers of debates about right or wrong.
Although most of them end up in vain, you will find that you have indeed learned a lot of knowledge because of the argument.
It turns out that this is also a learning method, but according to Wang Shifeng's statement, this method is effective in personal testing, there should not be too big problems.
Suddenly some viewers felt that DNA was moving, and there was a vague trend of being in line on the barrage.
"Please pay attention. What I am talking about is learning methods, which are aimed at friendly discussions and common interests, not to convince anyone, nor to argue. Xiao Zhu, there are still many peers in the live broadcast room. You can contact each other to form a study and discussion group to make progress together." Wang Shifeng smiled before the situation was out of control.
"Okay, Teacher Wang, I probably know what to do. When I get into my ideal university, I will thank you very much." Xiao Zhu said sincerely.
"If my suggestions can make you a better self, it will be the greatest reward for me." Wang Shifeng smiled.
After finishing the connection between Xiao Zhu, the barrage began to discuss and study in depth whether the topic of reading is useful.
And it is actually divided into two major camps: idealism and materialism.
It is a rare scene for a live broadcast room with millions of people to argue about this topic.
In order to prevent the situation from worsening, the staff could not ban their words, Wang Shifeng could only take the initiative to end. "What brothers said makes sense. Studying can not only enrich one's soul, but also enrich one's material things. For example, a friend of mine likes Zhengzhi's philosophy, but this preference is very niche and has almost no market. However, he uses this preference as a side job. Now he earns tens of thousands of yuan every month, and even more than one hundred thousand at peak time."
The philosophy of righteous governance?
I feel bored when I hear this. Although I must have studied it in college, it does not seem to be a common subject.
After all, if you learn math Chinese, you can still be a tutor to earn extra money.
But can you earn more than 10,000 yuan a month by using an unpopular preference for a side job?
It's unlikely.
"Don't believe it. My friend is also a live broadcaster, so he specializes in the philosophy of justice. However, he is not live broadcasting on formal platforms, he usually broadcasts on informal platforms and websites. Yes, it is the first irregular website that everyone reacts to." Wang Shifeng's tone was filled with an unconcealed smile.
???
In an instant, the quarrel in the live broadcast room stopped.
Everyone was neatly floating on the screen
‘What’s the situation? Is Teacher Wang’s incorrect statement the one I understand??’
'This must be a favor. It doesn't matter if there is an irregular website. You can insist on visiting it!'
‘Damn, I seem to know who Teacher Wang’s friend is! When I was watching a certain flower website, I saw a blackboard background and thought it was a classroom series, but I paid for it. Who knew that the anchor was actually giving lectures!’
‘Well...Will you talk about Rawls’s teacher in "Theory of Justice" as soon as you enter????’
‘Haha, I seem to know too. I thought it was a new way of playing, but I listened to the ideal country for thirty minutes...’
‘Support severe punishment!’
‘It seems that the brothers upstairs have spent money in vain.’
‘But to be honest, that teacher is really good, I’m sincere.’
‘Using knowledge to influence the world is worthy of being a great educator.’
‘?Teacher Wang also looks at that kind of website?’
"I'm going to listen to the class." Faced with the questioning of the barrage audience, Wang Shifeng remained calm.
"I'm just talking to you about this idea of monetizing knowledge. Why did my friend think of doing such a thing on that kind of website? One day he felt inexplicably empty when he was in a sage.
Thinking that if something different at this time might bring unexpected stimulation, this is in line with the reflection and judgment model in "Epistemology" and Maros's hierarchy of demand theory, it believes that the people who browse such websites also have other needs. If there is demand, there will be markets. So I started to try it.
At first, he was based on the mentality of doing experiments, but who knew he had started to make money, so he kept doing it. Although his story is an exception, it also proves the possibility of monetization in reading. Even if it is a niche preference, you can still make a profit if you find the right market."
After listening to Wang Shifeng's words, all the audience sighed again.
Indeed, knowledge is power, and reading changes destiny.
You cultural people can see business opportunities when they go to an illegal website, which is simply terrifying.
"Okay, let's connect to the next connection." Wang Shifeng said when the topic was changed.
"Hey, can you hear it?" The connection was connected, and it was a male voice full of energy.
"You can hear, what do you call me sir?" Wang Shifeng asked.
"Hello, Teacher Wang, just call me Xiao Qin. I am your loyal fan. I have been there since the first episode. Since listening to your live broadcast, I have gained a lot of happiness and knowledge. Originally, I was a withdrawn patient with some obstacles, but I have been much happier recently, thanks to your live broadcast." Mr. Qin finished speaking like a continuous cannon.
With a full sense of energy and clear thinking, it is hard to imagine that this is an withdrawn patient...
I even doubted whether it was a misdiagnosis?
You should be so talkative, right?
"So that's the case. Then I'm so honored to bring you joy through live broadcast, so what's the matter to share today?" Wang Shifeng asked softly.
"It's like this Teacher Wang. I'm not young anymore, I'm almost thirty years old. I haven't found a girlfriend because of psychological problems. I finally met a suitable one some time ago, but my parents disagreed with me. I even quarreled with me, which made me ignited hope for life and disillusioned again. I've been in pain recently and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I tried to submit articles online. Unexpectedly, I was really selected, and the Buddha blessed me." Mr. Qin said his unhappiness in a sad tone.
The contradiction between family affection and love is always the most difficult choice for people.
But it is the most common problem.
Due to the different growth environment and values, most of the parents' requirements for the other half of their children are in conflict with their children's requirements.
Moreover, most of these conflicts are difficult to change.
Because parents' ideas are accumulated over decades, they will not change overnight just by just a few words. This is also the main reason why many young people cannot handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage.
"Mr. Qin, you must first know that most parents consider their children, so you cannot be resistant because of this. It is normal for families to have differences. As long as you can find a solution." Wang Shifeng's soft voice made people feel like spring breeze.
