SEO is not a torment but the process of enjoying life continuously

"Do SEO in addition to learn to torment no other method," a friend in a well-known Webmaster forum post so said. Indeed, SEO is a long-term project, really very simple, but is "content, outside the chain, the chain, anchor text, statistical data (their own and competitors)" The constant repetition. But at the same time very boring, need long-term "content, outside the chain, the chain, anchor text, statistical data (their own and competitors)" cycle, perseverance.

Patience is a virtue, but the endurance of dry work is not the same as living in the "abyss of misery" between the suffering, which is completely different from the life experience. Any job in the world, there are boring, the side of mechanical labor, but if we find no pleasure in finding work, if it is just endless suffering, we will never be able to really like the job and try to overcome the difficulties--in the boring work process, trying to get the job done, And from the harvest of great satisfaction, the harvest self-confidence satisfaction. If we always just stay in the "torment, patience" such a working mentality, even if the "Dang Yitian" the minimum standard can not be achieved, let alone to make achievements.

SEO is a kind of "the torment of life"? Such a recognition reminds me of Sisyphus in Ancient Greek mythology.

As the founding man and King of the Corinthian city-states in Greek mythology. Sisyphus even once kidnapped death, so that the world did not die. But because of this, Sisyphus violated the interests of the gods, and the gods, in order to punish Sisyphus, asked him to push a boulder up to the top of the mountain, and because the boulder was too heavy, it would roll down the hill naturally as gravity would have been pushed up to the top of the mountain. So Sisyphus in the course of his life will always repeatedly push the stone uphill, rolling down the mountain, Sisyphus again down the hill, and then pushed the stone up the hill, so repeatedly-the gods think there is no more than to carry out this ineffective hopeless labor more severe punishment. Sisyphus's life was slowly depleted in the midst of such futile and hopeless toil.

Sisyphus's parable predicts the fate of the entire human race, summed up in the classic words of the Old Testament, that is, "there is nothing new under the sun", and when his breath is broken, he returns to the dust. And he intended to destroy the day, and the man who is alive knows that he will die. A dead man knows nothing. No more reward, no remembrance of their name. Their love, their hate, their jealousy, have all been wiped out, and the final conclusion must be "The void of vanity, the Void of the void, and all things in vain." If only such a world-weary attitude, profound and profound, but the human life certainly does not have any significance value, only waits for the death the destiny to descend, not to talk about what human civilization generation by generation, endless.

But there is another Sisyphus, the scholar Guoping, described in the Parable of Sisyphus:

Sisyphus was punished for pushing boulders up the hill, and every time it came to the top of the mountain, the boulder rolled back to the foot of the hill, and he had to start again in vain servitude. I heard that he was pessimistic and depressed to the extreme. However, one day, I met the mountain of Sisyphus, but found that he whistled, with a light pace, a look of carefree face. I am most afraid to see too unfortunate people, for example, the terminally ill people, or just dead relatives, because of their misfortune, I can neither say, afraid of taboo, and can not be said, afraid to appear heartless. Therefore, seeing Sisyphus approaching, though not as bitter as the legend, I am still embarrassed to know his unfortunate origins.

Without expecting Sisyphus to speak first, he raised his hand and shouted to me:

Hey, look, I caught a beautiful butterfly!

I looked at his receding figure, and wondered: there are some things that are beyond the reach of Zeus, and that is something too small, where there is the happiness of the West (and our whole human).

5,000 years of human history, is the scholar guoping in the fable of Sisyphus--faced with all kinds of completely reasonable despair of the reality, but can always have a reason to despair in the circumstances to find the meaning of their lives, and for the life, struggle more than, is so constantly in the "dry and boring, endless torment unceasingly" Life to find the meaning of their own life, only to continue to create for us as the descendants of the rich and proud of the colorful civilization, and give us self-confidence, you can face the "boring, endless suffering" of life.

Go to the point, indeed, SEO is very boring, but we have to find in the boring work of our unremitting efforts to adhere to the meaning and fun, so as to obtain the momentum of work, otherwise we such "endure suffering" can never be lasting.

The real strong, not not to see the boring life, but to admit the reality of boring life, constantly through their own efforts to create the meaning of life and fun, so enjoy life. Or scholar Guoping summed up: "Any career in life, no interest can not, but only on the interest of no patience to insist." ”

Keep an interest in boring work and always keep the patience of boring work in a boring job the only reason to insist on benign interaction is to constantly find the meaning of work and the pleasure of work in the tedious work. To obtain satisfaction, self-confidence, so as to continuously obtain the face of a variety of mechanical work, The power to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

This is life! Seoer, do not take SEO as hopeless life imprisonment, but to constantly in the tedious process of SEO to find our work fun, so optimistic work attitude can really make us like this boring work, and find only our seoer in the fun, So as to achieve our ultimate goal--let the website optimize our life (this article by SEO Yunnan original starting, reprint please take the website).
