Vol.28 学点新东西Learn something new

如果我没记错的话，年轻编剧柏邦妮每次跟朋友聚会，都会询问朋友最近看了什么书，什么电影，然后她在自己的小本子上记下来。《城市画报》以前（不知道现在还有没，好久没看城画了）有一个1p的页面讲一个人最近在读了什么看了什么听了什么计划是什么。城画有时隔一定时间复有采访曾经采访过的人，有个人第一年是坚持每天看一部电影，第二年采访他的时候，他的回答依旧是每天看一部电影。看似简单的坚持，其实就是从量变堆积成质变的过程，一点点的积累，也才能熬至滴水成珠吧。
　　
高中时代写作文，总是发现范文或者同学的作文中有很多名人名言，有时候还是拗口又老长的外国人，可惜这种《名人名言1000句》没办法硬生生地塞进我愚钝的大脑，于是我开始自己看书做笔记。现在想来都好笑，以前看蔡智恒的《第一次亲密接触》，某些言语我都有摘抄过。也是在那本书中，我知道原来台湾有一个叫711的便利店，也是在后面才恍然原来711是霓虹国的。
　　
“书非借不能读也”，家里的杂志堆起不好好看，外面的杂志因为带不走，饥渴得跟前胸贴屁股好几日的叫花子一样。也就是在这样的情况下，我从一本杂志中知道了这么一句“桃花：不计成本的盛放和消失”，后来被我去掉“桃花”借用作Q签名的一句，其实是一篇关于艺术家周春芽作品中桃花的解读。而这点“新”，不过是内心的一个难以言表的感悟而已。
　　
也是因为看杂志，有个受访者说他最近在读一本叫《越弱越暗越美丽》的书，因为它说：“弱，其实是一种强大的力量。暗，其实是一股巨大的存在。美丽，其实是科学照进现实后爆发的诗意。”感性如我，怎能不被这样的言辞诱惑。我在京东上随便一查就下了单，买回来一看，全书是以物理为知识基础的一个扩展，好多陌生的词汇，暗物质，超对称、超弦、上帝粒子……看得我头都大了，但是作者别有情趣的小诗，却让我觉得他是个内心饱满丰富的人，他的书一定会有强大的能量可以传递。好吧，我总是容易被有才华的人所吸引，尤其是那种我无法企及的才华，更是让我内心雀跃。而你说才华有什么用呢？怀才不遇的人多了去了！可是内心总是自己的，天长地久，无法改变。
　　
因为对文艺方面的东西感兴趣，这里举例也是用了书本。你要说读书写字有啥用，其实还真没啥用，现在都读图时代了，你能将文字看到此，我已有天恩万谢之情了。知识是难以估量的存在，也并不是说知识掌握得越多，就越好。人生三重境界（宋代禅宗大师青原行思提出的），不过是“看山是山，看水是水”到“看山还是山，看水还是水”，只是这中间“看山不是山，看水不是水”的过程，在我看来是一种必然，不然人生也不会有那么多恍然大悟。曾经同一个受访者聊到，他说：“你看一个事物，你懂，但是你懂的肯定跟我不一样。因为我们的视野并不同。”浅薄如我，还没有打通思想上的“任通二脉”，知识点并没有连贯起来，而他们随即就可以从苹果想到地球引力。
　　
确定这个题目，也是因为那天问一位20岁的青年感兴趣什么话题，他说了个我不懂的“电子竞技”（CyberGame）。三人行，还真的是必有我师。有时候，我们没问出要的答案，或许真的是因为我们的问题没问对。
　　
扯远了，其实我想表达的是，一秒钟就可以度娘google的疑问，为啥不用第二秒去看一看，第三秒去想一想呢？
　　
“学习是一个持之以恒的事情，不能三天打鱼两天晒网，靠着一时的激情热情买一大堆书，一天猛读8小时，那都是不靠谱的。”——摘抄于留几手的微博
连刁钻精怪的留几手都以“每天进步一点点”座右铭，你还有什么借口不让自己的生活“learn something new”。

If I remember correctly, the young screenwriter Bo Bangni always mark what books her friends read and what movies her friends watch recently. The magazine “City Pictorial” used to have a 1page questions &answers, which let the interviewees talked about what were they reading and watching. It also had some interviews about someone they interviewed before. There was a man, one year before, he said:” I insist on watching one movie every day.” One year later, he said:” I insist on watching one movie every day in another year.” It looks so simple to do, because people like to say how much they love movie. But who really does the insistence? It need time to make changes.

Because I like reading, I found a book named “the weaker, the darker, the more beautiful”. It said:"Weak, in fact is a powerful force. Dark, in fact ,is a huge existence. Beauty, in fact, is the poetic when the science into the reality. ( Chinese book, I just translated by my own, may not right.) As sensibility as me, how can I not buy this book. But when I got the book. I found out this book was based on physical knowledge.

There were a lot of unfamiliar words, such as, dark matter, super symmetry, super strings, God particle…I had headache about it!! On another hand, the interesting poets let me think he was a man with rich heart and thought, there were powerful energy in the book can be passed out. Well, It’s really easy for me to be attracted by someone have powerful energy and talent. I know it nothing to do with me about their talent, but my heart and my soul is the only part belongs to me, forever. 　　 　　

Another reason I chose this topic because that day I asked a young boy which topic he was interested in. His answer “cyber game” is a new thing for me again. And I think there always something we can learn from anyone else. Sometimes, we didn’t get the answers we want, maybe because we didn’t ask the right questions. 　　 　　

I just wanna say, it only takes us one second to use google research, why don’t we spend the second second to look at it, and spend the third second to think about it.
