It seems that we can call looking for life goals and ambitions or interests "sparks".
I think I found the spark.
This is an idea that suddenly occurred to me when I posted.
The first time I wanted to learn China's calligraphy was in a master's class, Art Review. Teacher Chen said that when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he would get up and write, and then he would always disturb his family's sleep. I only know that he is a calligraphy madman, and he will advise us to practice in class from time to time. I was very moved, but I didn't act.
In retrospect, a seed was planted at that time. Although I gave myself a reason, I have been drawing by hand and suddenly became interested in childbirth. I started the process of drawing with my fingers on my mobile phone, and finally bought an iPad+ pencil to draw, and I didn't care about the rest. It can also be said that the timing is wrong.
So I'm really a curious baby, and I've been trying to find sparks.
I really started to write calligraphy by listening to Feng Tang's method of success, which once again aroused my desire for temporary employment. Learning to write brush strokes is the same as drawing. The core is still practice, keep practicing.
Zeng Guofan once educated his son, saying that he should practice calligraphy day by day, copy face to face alternately, and be patient, so that he can see his progress in the future.
I have the experience of painting, and I deeply know that besides talent, people rely on hard work, not continuous efforts every day. So I didn't go to class. I found some posts written by talented people in Little Red Book, and then I bought my favorite posts to practice. I am especially grateful to those who share their experiences, which also makes me want to share my thoughts. Because as long as a person can gain something from what I share, it is worth it.
For half a year, I haven't copied it, nor have I written it from seal script or big characters. I practiced Zhao Mengfu's Tao Te Ching directly in small letters. There are many repeated words in Tao Te Ching, and you can feel the different ways of writing the same word in the process of posting.
There was a break in the middle of the post, and I was very busy during that time, busy writing the best-selling copy "The Secret Behind", so I didn't insist. Recently, I bought another post to practice, and suddenly I began to have ideas.
This kind of thinking doesn't mean that I have to practice for two hours today or that I can't sleep and force myself not to write, but that I want to write, that I can live in the present and ignite the joy in my heart.
Seeing that my handwriting is relatively stable, my strokes have improved. My heart is happy.
I gave it a definition in my mind, called "Spark".
