Until today I finished reading 20 books written in English.
Twenty books is not a lot, but it’s a big step for me.
It’s a good accomplishment.
Just keep going.

EP 8 Real wealth
Wealth is usually considered to be money. But in my opinion, true wealth does not only contain money. It can contain many things, such as health, wisdom, and experience.
An essential part of wealth is health. We inherited our health from our ancestors when we were born. It’s innate and priceless. But we can partially change it. We can destroy health, but we can also increase it.
Another part of wealth is wisdom. Although our health can be inherited, we can’t inherit… ...βββ
Complicate physical activities
In my opinion, simple physical activities are not enough to improve mental health.
As human beings, we get used to coordinate with our mind and body. Repeated and easy activities are boring. If the activities are more complicated, it’s better for our mentality. We can also combine different activities.
EP 7 Practice
Practice is one of the most important things in our life.
In order to gain our skill or improve our ability, we all need to have enough practice.
Practice is repeated action. Enough times of repetition is necessary in our life. If we do a lot of practice, we will definitely get some improvements unconsciously.
In most cases, the beginning of the practice is very difficult. We think it’s hard, it’s a big challenge. We may have tried many times, but there are still no results… ...βββ
Loop Habits Tracker
Maybe I can use plain text instead of software to track my habits.
EP 6 Plain text
I have used a lot of software to store my notes and data. But gradually I found that although these softwares are very convenient and they offer a lot of good services. They also caused me a lot of trouble in the long run.
One important reason is that you cannot export your data freely. I tried a lot of softwares after I decided to write online. Many of them don’t provide good export service. Your files can only be exported to some special formats. What’s more, these files… ...βββ
Automated system
Creating an effective and automated system is very important.
I always look at the tools. But any tools should be built on a good system. Tools are medium. I must know how to use these tools.
With an effective and stable system, you don’t even need a tool with high technology.
EP 5 Thirteen years of journaling
I’ve been journaling for thirteen years.
I started journaling in April 2010.
It’s one of the most important habits in my life.
Before 2016, I wrote journals on paper. After 2016, I started to write on app. It’s very convenient to write digitally. After December 2017, I started writing in English.
I became aware that journals are the history of my own life.
Now I have the intention to collect all my journals and publish them in a book. I think it would be very interesting… ...βββ
Reading the first five books of the Bible
After almost a year of intermittent reading, I have finally finished the first five books of the Old Testament. The first five books are also called the books of Moses.
I suddenly realized that probably seventy percent of the Bible is the Old Testament. Only a small part of it is the New Testament. The Old Testament is written in Hebrew, and the New Testament is written in Greek.
There are some stories that impressed me a lot. Killing and punishment may be the theme during the time of… ...βββ
EP 4 AI tool for learning
I’m Qiran. Today, I would like to share with you my understanding of Artificial Intelligence.
I gradually realized that AI has already entered my life. Some people may think that AI is very destructive to the lives of ordinary people. But in my opinion, the most distinct characteristic that humans possess and surpass other creatures is the ability to use tools. AI is a very useful tool now, and it would be highly beneficial if we can learn to use it effectively.
In terms of … ...βββ
