(Mood) programmers should all dig their own wells

Note: This article combines the feelings of two bloggers (wallwind and doever) on a story. This story is from Zhang Jinxi's career book: digging a self-owned well.

Story of two monks

The two monks live next door. The so-called next door is the mountain next door. They live in the temples of the two adjacent mountains. There is a creek between the two mountains. The two monks go down the hill to pick up water at the same time every day. Over time, they become good friends.

In this way, it has been five years since I picked the water every day. Suddenly one day, the monk on the left did not go down to pick up the water. The Monk on the right thought, "He probably slept too much ." I don't agree.

Do you know that the monk on the left of the next day still does not go down the hill to pick up water? The same is true on the third day. After a week, the monk at the right side finally couldn't help it. He thought, "my friend may be ill. I want to visit him, see what you can do."

Then he climbed the hill on the left to visit his old friend.

When he arrives at the temple on the left, he is surprised to see his friends, because his friends are playing Taijiquan in front of the temple. It is not like a person who has no water for a month. He curiously asked, "You haven't picked up water for a month. Do you need to drink water ?" The monk on the left said, "Come and come, I'll show you ." So he took the monk from the right mountain to the back yard of the temple and pointed to a well and said, "Over the past five years, I have spent some time digging this well after my homework. Even if I am very busy, the number of resources that can be dug is even greater. Now that I have finally dug out well water, I don't have to go down the hill to pick up water. I can spend more time practicing my favorite Taijiquan ."

Wallwind's feelings

No matter what industry we are in, especially in the IT industry where we eat young meals, especially coding programmers. We should remember the above principles.

Many people live with a mentality of working and get salaries in the company. If the salary is higher, it is "pick water ". People's strength is always limited. when they are older, they often suffer from physical exhaustion.

The reason why many people are unhappy in their journey or are proud of the spring breeze in their early years is that they have been seeking water all their life and do not know how to dig their own wells;

Many people know how to dig a well, but do not know how to dig it;

Many people know how to dig a well, but do not know where to dig a well or what to dig;

Many people know where to dig and what to dig, but it is always abandoned halfway;

Many people have dug a well and thought that once and for all, they do not know that the flow of water will change with time and environment ......

I did not expect that I needed a well, did not dig a well, did not know where to dig a well, did not know what to dig a well, did not know how to dig a well ...... There are always a variety of excuses or reasons. There must be some methods and steps to find sources, tools, and wells at work or after work ......

Some people know that they should dig a well of their own, and they have worked very hard all their life, but most of them have not dug a well because they do not know it. In fact, A lot of things are originally "Destined ......

Doever's feelings

As an ordinary program developer, every day's programmer's work is like picking water. If you only focus on opening every day's program, you will be picking water all your life, and there will always be days that cannot be picked up. Therefore, if you want to pursue your own well, you may not be able to get it. But after all, you have worked hard and you have no regrets in your life.

Therefore, in addition to work, you must take advantage of the skills you are familiar with and gradually study and accumulate in the fields you are familiar with. In fact, the old saying is: no small stream can make a river or sea, without accumulation of resources, you cannot go beyond a thousand miles. Do not work overtime because of today's work, do not get tired because of today's work, do not come because of that friend, wait for such a reason as an excuse, of course, as a real life person, these daily interpersonal interactions are reasonable and essential, it's just that we should use every bit of time we can use to learn, think, and acquire knowledge and skills while improving our ideological height.

Not only programmers, everyone should pursue their own well.
