A group of "Wei Shen" in Peking University flowing out, I realize what is high -level desire

Today is the 3246th day that I am intensive to accompany you for life -long growth

01

Remember that Peking University Mathematics Sweeping Monk Wei Dongyi?

With the popularity of the first -handed mineral water on the Internet, his amazing record in mathematics was dug out, so he was honored as "Wei Shen".

Two months ago, someone met "Wei Shen" in the Peking University cafeteria, so he took these two photos.

I saw "Wei Shen" wearing simplicity and sitting in a small place to concentrate on dried rice, without notice the eyes of the people around me.

Some people are curious about what he eats for lunch.

Coincidentally, someone met him in the same place two days ago and took his rice and umbrella.

This configuration is described as an exaggeration with the word "shabby".

It stands to reason that a teaching assistant at Peking University will not "fall" to this situation.

But in fact, this "shabby" is not the result of his passive choice, but the daily life he takes the initiative.

Someone does not understand:

"Will such boys be welcomed by girls in the marriage market?"

"Live like this, what's the point?"

In fact, the world of "Wei Shen" is not what we ordinary people can understand.

You think he is very boring everyday, but he is addicted to himself in the world of mathematics.

Mathematics brings him the fun, far exceeding what you eat and drink.

For him, the food is used to be full, the clothes are used to cover the body, the bed is used to sleep, and it is enough to eat, wear, sleep.

Although his material life is simple and simple, his spiritual world is much more vast than most of us.

The simplicity of "Wei Shen" reminds me of the Joe Sang who practiced "non -consumerism".

In the daily exposure of "post -90s girls" cutting the door ", it was praised 310,000: How good is such a poor person living? In the article, I mentioned her minimalist lifestyle:

The toothpaste that is used quickly should be cut away, and it will be used for another month until the remaining toothpaste is used cleanly. Change with neighbors with black beans and oats, in exchange for neighbors' litchi, kiwi, watermelon, and pork rib soup. When buying vegetables, I asked the boss for those dishes that are not good -looking, a little bit, and no one wants. There are only 16 clothes throughout the year. One piece of sweater and sports pants can be worn for more than ten days. When it is dirty, it will be washed. Native

In this way of lifestyle, Qiao Sang has persisted for more than 600 days, not because of poor, but because of cutting unnecessary desires.

But many netizens do not understand, and the comments are full of such remarks:

"Why live like a factory?" "This life is actually no different from walking." "When did you only wear clothes and washing clothes, I might not have a life on the earth, and I couldn't understand it."

In their eyes, Qiao Sang's lifestyle is extremely and boring.

But in her opinion, pay for the necessary items, cherish food and vegetables, and put the time and energy of simplifying life after life. Pay attention to health and soul is the best way to return life to life.

Although Qiao Sang's material life is simple, her spiritual world is rich.

Because she was originally used for shopping, consumption, and too much items, she was taken out to think, read and do yoga.

In the process, she found that she was in love with reading, commuting and work.

"It turned out a book, which is much more fulfilling than buying a piece of clothing." This is the true feeling she insisted on "non -consumerism".

In order to make the good habits of reading benefit others, she also opened her own "stray bookstore" to collect netizens, friends, and her own old books, disinfection, label, and label in a row in the corner to provide free borrowing for the surrounding neighbors.

At present, she has collected a whole wall.

"Wei Shen" and Qiao Sang are not a kind of people who are really scarce in material.

The "cut door" state they presented is actually the result of high -level desires replacing low -level desires.

What is high -level desire?

Zhou Guoping said that senior desire refers to the spiritual needs of human beings, and it is also part of human nature. Once a man tastes and intoxication with higher levels of happiness, he naturally has "determination" in the face of the lower and happy temptations of the variety of.

In simple terms, high -level desire is a process of creation. It gives back a sense of happiness and accomplishment, such as learning desire.

And low -level desire is a process of consumption. It brings loss, frustration and annoyance, such as material desire.

In addition to the consumption of real gold and silver, the consumption here also includes the consumption of time and energy. Such as short videos.

Former SF Group CTO Wu Jianping, mentioned in the book "Super Learning", mentioned the mechanism of brushing mobile phone addiction:

The recommendation system adds some strange algorithms, which are increasingly discussing users. As long as you open the short video, you can't stop slipping. I can't help but want to watch what the next video is. I feel free to open the blind box. ... Swipe it in free time, and the time is gone. These applications are like a thief stealing time.

Because of the complex algorithm of the app, as long as you brush a few of your favorite content, the system will always recommend similar to you until you can't stop.

Wu Jianping said that this is called "random reward" in psychology, which is dedicated to stimulating dopamine secretion.

Why do anyone like to drink coffee? Because caffeine can make people more sensitive to dopamine, dopamine is the key to addiction. The same is true of mobile phone addiction. When your fingers slid up, you don't know what kind of video the system will recommend. When you find that you like it, dopamine is stimulated, and your brain feels joy, you will always pay for this pleasure.

But such joy is very short. After the joy, you often only gain emptiness and loss.

The joy brought by reading or learning will not only make you gain growth, but also make you feel long -term pleasure.

Some people are aware of the disadvantages of "low -level desire addiction", so they try to restrain and even extinct the desire, but the effect is often poor.

After all, most people choose entertainment in learning and entertainment.

Because learning is long -termism, based on the future, it is painful; entertainment focuses on the eyes and relax.

Therefore, the best way to fight against "low -level desire and addiction" is not to suppress it, but to wake up, develop and meet senior desires.

Once you have been happy in reading or learning, the more you have achieved more achievements, and even more than the joy brought by shopping and entertainment, the temptation of low -level desire is no longer attractive.

If you want to develop senior desires and replace low -level desires, try the smallest effort principle:

To minimize the resistance, let yourself think of it immediately.

For example, if you want to improve your desire to learn, you can ensure that there is a book at any time at any time. As soon as you have time, you can catch it.

As long as you put a certain effort in the early stage, let this "wheel" turn, and then you can slowly reduce the investment, it will continue to turn down for a moment.

This is the result of "flywheel effect" (positive feedback).

In the end, it is worth mentioning that self -disciplined people are not entertaining, but they know how to entertain moderate entertainment.

Whether it is the low -level desire to bring short -term pleasure, or to bring lasting and happy high -level desire, as long as you know how to balance, and always keep the high -level desire in the dominant position, happiness will not be too far away from you.

mutual encouragement.
