Being famous too early may not be a good thing if you are not as talented as you are.

Fame that does not live up to its name is like a tree with weak roots but abundant branches and leaves. The more ostentatious it looks on the outside, the less stable it will be on the inside.

Zhang Ailing said that you must become famous as early as possible. This sentence certainly has some truth. However, it may not be a good thing to become famous prematurely if you are not talented enough.

Taking writing as an example, to be honest, I used to long for fame and long for quick fame.

I remember when I first came here, I was very concerned about whether my articles were on the home page. Once on the homepage, I think my article is great, so I keep refreshing the number of reads and likes, as if I'm possessed by an evil spirit; when I'm rejected by the homepage, I feel resentful, full of sense of loss, and even feel that I have no future in writing. There was confusion.

Sometimes, I even dream of signing a contract with me, completely forgetting my own strength and just writing a few childish articles.

If people often reflect on their past, they will always see some problems.

Over a period of time, I have put in some efforts, and some articles have been included in the home page. However, I don’t feel excited because now I look back at these articles and I don’t feel the same way I did after I finished writing them. So good, if I were the review editor of the homepage, it might be difficult for my article to pass. When I was selected, I only regarded it as encouragement and encouragement from the editor.

In this way, when I first joined, I was as naive as a joke.

Now, I’m glad that my initial articles rarely made it to the front page. Because tasting the fruit so effortlessly will inevitably make you unable to bear the loneliness of labor and encourage opportunistic luck. I might be like some sketch actor who is eager for quick success, using vulgar performances to win false applause. You may also be like some reality show stars, using exaggeration and pretentiousness to win money and popularity.

Meeting the set standards and being successfully signed is the dream of most writers. An unknown writer, a person who cherishes the idea of ??realizing his dream through words, what he desires most is the opportunity to publish a book and social attention.

However, just relying on the number of words and the number of likes sometimes does not mean that a person's writing level has reached a certain level. At this time, if you are blindly immersed in the joy of signing a contract without thinking about making progress, and waste your time on unnecessary things, in the long run, you will lose more than just time!

Akutagawa has a famous saying: "The tragedy of genius is to be bound by small and comfortable fame." Many writers who dream of becoming writers see a random article written by an Internet celebrity and the number of clicks is overwhelming. So I also imitated their writing style, using words savagely and crudely, and abusing vulgar Internet buzzwords. Write meaningless tidbits. Trying to get more attention. But things often backfire. Although this kind of article is praised by some naive fingers, these young minds are gradually maturing, and sooner or later, low-level taste will be abandoned by them in the garbage heap of culture. At that time, if you change your writing style and start over again, you will often feel very frustrated.

Qian Liqun, a professor at Peking University, told his undergraduate graduates that they should spend ten years in immersion after graduation. What to do after ten years of immersion? Continue to lay a solid foundation. For a tree, the deeper and stronger the roots are, the taller and more prosperous the branches and leaves will be. The same is true for a person doing knowledge.

It is not difficult for undergraduates who graduated from Peking University to find a good job because they are very smart. Professor Qian Liqun asked students not to be parasitic on this kind of superiority and not to make progress. But we must take the initiative to give up this "premature reputation", be patient, and immerse ourselves in it for ten years before we can achieve something.

Some people say, I can’t wait ten years, I want my writing to be monetized immediately. I write for a very simple purpose: to make money.

There is no denying that making money is a very normal thing. Only those who become rich and noble unjustly will be regarded as nothing. In today's world, material resources are unprecedentedly abundant, but the pressure for survival has not diminished at all. Mr. Lu Xun also often warned young people that if they want to do something, the most important thing is to have some deposits in the bank.

To make money quickly through writing, you often have to do things that you cannot help but sacrifice your freedom of writing and do some model work. This is undoubtedly a relatively big obstacle to my writing career.

Many adults, forced by the pressure of life, temporarily do these short-term and quick writing tasks, which is understandable. However, it is a pity that some students who do not need to rush to make money, and some young people who still harbor literary dreams, are doing things at the expense of others.

When a person has not reached a certain level, writing is a boring thing. No one pays attention to it, and there is no profit. It is like walking alone in the dark night.

At this time, as long as there is a little light, it will attract our attention and easily change our direction. We easily forget that we are waiting for dawn, not fireflies.

At this time, you need to always alert yourself, always look back at the way you came from, and never forget your original intention, so that you can always succeed!
