2019-10-29 6:00 am(20min)
Hi ,I am Anthony. This is my first English Diary , which I treat it as the expression of my daily thoughts and minds. There is no doubt that mind does not logically stay and flow in our heads. but what is the meaning of that sometimes we can say our minds are logically ? that must be point to the clearly mind.
So I am trying to express my 'logical' minds with 'logical' words to express my not so clear mind. Of course, words can be logical.
Yesterday morning I asked my friend Amiee who is good at English writing and graduated from UK about whether I can write some articles like her. The reason why I asked her maybe lie in everyone wanna make a difference in his short life period, so do I .
So this is the ahead of plan to make me get used to English Writing .After writing down the plan of writing 100 dairy without suspending every day on my daily todo task list, I know it's not easy, but why not try.
These days I am reading the Bertrand Russell's book ''the conquest of happiness" and Erich Fromm‘s "The Art of Love". so I will also share some my after reading thoughts here .See u tomorrow.

As winter approaching , getting up early seems become a difficult thing for most of people . Except for the alarm clock , what drives you getting up early?
I just read the third chapter 'competition' from Bertrand Russell's book ''the conquest of happiness" . There are two motives for people to read a book : one , that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it. I think I am the first one most of the time, but sometimes the latter one.most of the people put themselves inside a competition in every circumstance , so do I .The thought of sharing every not so big result in the Wechat moment and treating reading as a way to boast about myself has been prevailed in my mind for a long time . As a psychologist and philosopher (fake one, just cure myself) , I have to make some changes. These days , I just share my books reading on Douban, my everyday healthy meal on Xiaohongshu , and my exercise list on my todo task list, all of which without any focus from my friends .I treat do not share everything in the wechat moment as the modern life's inner peace . most of the leisure life , I just enjoy the reading , exercising and critical thinking myself. just like Haruki Murakami enjoy his every getting up early day's running and writing, the way of enjoy my own life without any competitors or companionship is what I chose.
Also , there is no need to focus on what people share in the wechat moment, maybe that's because of the mind which I think I should focus more on myself ，not anybody else's life , moods ,sorrow and happiness in the wechat moment, haha, typical Leo I am.
The root of the modern life's trouble springs from too much emphasis upon competitive success as the main source of success. what people fear when they engage in the struggle is not that they will fail to get their breakfast next morning, but that they will fail to outshine their neighbours. Have you ever think about enjoy a balanced ideal of life ?

I am the one always trying to get rid of some bad habits and get into some good habits. A few months ago , I suddenly realize that I can control my own mind with my own mind. Mental discipline becomes one of the biggest thing I have to focus. why it matters? and how it woks?
Because everything we learn and take action actually depends on the cognition. The building of cognition becomes very important to someone just like the social mechanism to the society. Everyone who ruined his life , as we can see , no matter in a good fortune or bad luck, was the man in the end tortured by his own mind. Mental health become so significantly important than the work ,wealth , reputation and the competition of the struggle life. But the process of getting into mental discipline is not so easy, but the cognition of the importance is the fundamentals to build ways and take action to reach the status.
There are two kinds of fatigue , emotional and physical.The important kind of fatigue is always emotional in modern life, but what might be called the hygiene of the nerves haas been much too little studied.and we can define the emotional discipline as thinking of the things at the right time and think it rationally and calmly. for example, It's important to face fear directly with rational and calm mood , whenever you face with it , don't think about other things ,every kind of fears grows worse by not being looked at.(from Bertrand Russell's book ''the conquest of happiness" )
Nowadays , I am also figure out he answer of how can I get skilled at my computer programming work with the limited time. I am also trying something new in the daily life with the hope of break through the circumstance limitation and the inner mind controlling by myself, the ways of doing this includes read more books , systematically study every technical problems I meet and sign up to some online tutorials. The cognition, knowledge intensity, systematically studying and methods are important. however， Taking actions now is prioritized.

this morning ,I spent some time reading the book "The conquest of happiness" and took a mediation with 10 min. With the thought of some talks with my friend about the marketing and product of a company, I also spent more than 30 mins to think about it, I do really appreciate the process of thought these days.
It is amazing how much both happiness and eficiency can be increased by the cultivation adequately at the right time rather than inadequately at all times. To apply this rule , I will set some new life principles for myself.
- focusing on woking staff/related things only in the day woking time.
- leaving no more than two hours on any activity to join/people to meet.
- going to gym with 3-4 times a week, 15 times a month.
- getting up early to write this diary
- taking mediation everyday with 10-20 mins.
- Eating the meal made by myself more than 15 times a week.(total 21 meals)
- only books/movies for entertainment.
and there are two more things I apply on my technical skill principles:
- finding and taking some online tutorial with the expenditure more than 500rmb every month(including the books expenditure)
- learning technical knowledge with the settlement of questions first.
- focusing on doing every task I meet and Every question I settle.
- focusing on the knowledge density and the quality before learning it systematically.
- writing more notes
- focusing on how to memorize more knowledge

Suffered from the toothache these two days , I didn't follow any of the principles to finish any of my daily plan. So I suddenly realize basement of ur knowledge and action is not cognitions anymore , it's ur physical and mental health, lol.Never stop thinking.
There are some changes I think I need to make after two day's rest at home .
first is that . Making some changes on my English learning process: I spent much time reading phychology and phylosophy English books and some English technical materials . The definite distinction should be added to the English learning process with phychology and phylosophy reading and technical learning process . because I find out that the some of the words make the understanding of phychology and phylosophy and technical learning more difficult, which also slow down the speed of reading and efficiency.
Secondly, no matter what happened , I should always follow the daily principles like getting up early , writing morning diary , reading phychology and phylosophy books , writing down daily expenditure , learning technical materials and going to gym and keep calm down for the outer world.
And today I spent about 4 hours reading 100 pages book “Automate the Boring Stuff with Python” , I should learn it more quickly. With the omit of some paragraph is needed , the examples in the book should be compile and run deliberately.

It has became even harder for me to get up early. The dreams always fill in the night ,which makes me feel exhausted when I get up .
There are three kinds of minds for everyone : impulsion, reason and emotion.After a period's observation, I feel that if one man has to make to some changes in his normal life, the potential intellect or reason should be focus much more than the other two. When somebody annoys you in the morning, if you argue with him, you will be in bad mood all the day. If you do anything with your impulsion, no matter what kind of impulsion which is from human nature, you neglect the importance of priority. Definitely , your impulsion just like a wild beast in your head which always choose the bad thing to behave .It's you are the one who will take upon the consequences.
Feynman learning method is some kind of method I pay attention to. Every time you learn some knowledge or you want to grasp it more , you should use this method.
There are four steps to the Feynman Learning Technique:
- Choose a concept you want to learn about
- Pretend you are teaching it to a student in grade 6
- Identify gaps in your explanation; Go back to the source material, to better understand it.
- Review and simplify (optional)

I failed. Failed to dream of catching up with every minute to do every thing seems fantastic.Failed to dream of managing time, at the end, however，find out that I can only manage myself.
Not like reputation ,beauty, money, others' affection, starting line of life and so many other things, time seems to be the fairest thing in the world. Everyone get 24 hours a day.
In the limited time of everyday , everyone choose to do things totally different from others, although some people try to behave the same behavior, they are different still. Everyone get a different world view. It's said in the universe of yourself , you are absolutely the center of the world just like the sun is the center of solar system. In the long period of universe , every human beings just live no more than 100 years on the average. everyone seems like nobody . where does the spirit or soul go when the body is dead ? If it is unquestionable the energy of the universe is always balanced like the yin and yang, the soul must go to other place, but at that time it cease to exist as a human being's spirit or soul.
Anyhow， in the limited time ，Small us, we have our own micro miracle. our ignorance and our needs will all disappear when we die 100 years later.maybe ,what can only exist in the world is our energy like gas state or fluid state water ,which once was an unique ice in the North Pole.

As Time Goes By So Quickly, it has been a week since I finish my last diary here.On last Saturday (11.09) I made my lunch at home and help my friends with making a move. Ate hotpot and got drunk ,which caused me feel so uncomfortable on Sunday(11.10).
So what I‘d like to think about is that mental health and body health are the causes make me feel energetic everyday to live a discipline life.
Started to memorize the TOEFL vocabulary classified last week , hoping to get a improvement and a big step forward after half a year's learning.
I will pay much more attention on my job and the learning staff, do more to cope with my tight schedule and do more thinking everyday on everything.
this week's plan:
5 books to read ：Meditations， The Wisdom of Life, Automate the Boring Stuff with Python , Spring Microservices in Action ,Chinese philosophy history.
5-7 sets(more than 50 everyday every set) words to memorize.
5 diary to write .
15 homemade meals to eat.
2 technical blogs to write.
finish my work with excellence.
3-4 times of gym exercising.
4 books' comment to add.
