I find that people who don’t usually write, if you tell them that they have written a million words, they have no idea, and they think it doesn’t matter.
I think it may be because there are long online novels with millions of words on the Internet. After they read more, they feel that one million words is nothing.
But in fact, as long as you are willing to try to write it yourself, as long as you practice it, you will find it difficult to write one million words.
For example, some people find it difficult to write a few hundred words. They usually find it difficult to write a composition of several thousand words. But this kind of difficulty is small, and the kind that insists on writing tens of thousands of words is difficult. Only people can have a deeper understanding.
If you think about it, tens of thousands of words are so difficult, let alone one million words. It’s difficult even to find the number of words to write.
In fact, this is telling us a truth, practice brings true knowledge, nothing can be taken for granted, only through practice can we have a deeper and truer experience.
And to think about it from another perspective, it usually takes a long time for you to read a book of hundreds of thousands of words, let alone write hundreds of thousands of words yourself.
If the writing speed of most people is that it takes an hour or half an hour to write a 1,000-word article, that would be 1,000 hours or 500 hours.
Even if you insist on writing for one hour a day, it will take two or three years to write one million words.
What's more, you don't always have something to write. This requires you to first write everything you can and can think of, and then continue to input knowledge or experience content. , and then you have to think about it and generate your own ideas before you can write more articles.
In short, the words accumulated bit by bit are the treasures of your life, and only those who share the same path will understand what it feels like, while those who do not follow the same path will only find it useless and nothing to be happy about.
The same is true for other things. If you don’t understand, you won’t have enough say if you don’t do it. This also teaches us to learn more humility.
