Oral ulcers

Another “first time in life”, the first oral ulcer. I don’t remember the exact time, but it lasted about a week. I’ll probably never forget the pain. This area just under the mouth was a small white spot at first. I thought it was because I had been getting angry recently, so I had ordinary blisters. Later, it became more and more serious, the white spot became bigger and bigger, and the pain became more severe. obvious.

I went to an off-campus clinic on the afternoon of the 24th, opened my mouth and showed it to the doctor. He then gave me a box of bezoar detoxification tablets and a box of Bingboran powder (similar to watermelon cream), and told me not to eat anything that would cause internal heat. The temperature was too high, so I turned around and bought an ice drink. After returning home, I started taking medicine. I sprinkled Bingbo powder on the wound, which made it more painful and uncomfortable. However, after two days of taking the medicine, I could clearly feel that it was healing.

I can finally eat with my mouth open, but I still have to pay attention to a healthy diet. I also followed my friend’s advice and bought some mouthwash. I rinse my mouth often after meals. I don’t want to get another mouth ulcer.

cognitive awakening

This week I have been reading a book called “Cognitive Awakening” by Zhou Ling. It has been on the bookshelf for a long time. Recently, the teacher recommended it to the class and I read it carefully.

Looking at the title, you might think it is a paid-for-knowledge product that rips off money, but it is actually a very basic but practical personal growth methodology. After reading it, I had four words of feeling – enlightenment, which I had never experienced before. I have thought about using this method and this perspective to understand the problem.

At the beginning of the book, the author says that we humans actually have three brains, namely the instinctive brain, the emotional brain, and the rational brain . These three brains are the origin of all problems. The instinctive brain originated in the age of reptiles. It has a simple structure and only has a primitive reflex module. For example, when you encounter danger, you fight or flee, and when you are hungry, you want to eat. This is the function of the instinctive brain; the emotional brain originated in the age of mammals. , through emotional blessing, to enhance survival advantage; the rational brain originated from the primate era, it can produce language, create art, develop technology, and establish civilization. That is, the instinctive brain is responsible for instinct, the emotional brain is responsible for emotions, and the rational brain is responsible for cognition.

The power of these three brains is also different. The instinctive brain and the emotional brain take longer to be born and are more powerful. They correspond to different development and maturity times in humans. They mature at around 2 years old, 12 years old, and 22 years old respectively. Therefore, in the first 20 years of life, we always appear to be childish and immature.

The following is an introduction to anxiety, patience, subconsciousness, concentration, action, etc. The reason why we are anxious, impatient, weak in concentration, and insufficient in action is that most of the decisions we make in life often stem from Instinct and emotion, not reason , and our growth is the process of overcoming nature and using our rational brain to control ourselves.

Discussion of rebates

I saw such a discussion on Twitter. @Yachen Liu often shares things he thinks are worth buying. The links he shares usually include rebates. Another netizen @Red Panda Research thinks this is a very low behavior. And he said he didn’t want to earn any money.

After reading this, a question popped up in my mind, can this also be criticized? Isn’t this a very normal behavior? As a consumer, I need to buy a product. I happen to see someone recommending a product that he has used and thinks is very good. I can complete the purchase while saving a lot of time. He gets a little rebate and I buy the product I like. , the merchants have gained profits, and it is a win-win situation for all three parties. Why not do it?

I am also half an affman. I mainly recommend VPS and virtual hosts. I have made a few hundred with Lao Xue Host and a few hundred with Tencent Cloud. Now I mainly recommend CloudCone ’s VPS and I have made a page for it. I have used the products of these three companies and found them to be quite good after using them myself, so I shared them with everyone to save a lot of time.

Speaking of which, it seems to be similar to the internal referral rewards for corporate employees?

Interesting things and things

  • I watched the first and second seasons of ” Sex Education “: Don’t be fooled by the title. The English title is Sex Education . After reading this, it is easy to think of the sex education in China. Ask yourself, does China have sex education? The junior high school biology textbook briefly mentioned female menstruation and male spermatorrhea, but I haven’t seen similar content since then. In a high school in the play, the teacher explains sexual knowledge in class and teaches everyone how to use condoms. The principal gives a speech in the auditorium about the meaning of sanitary napkins. In China, condoms, sanitary napkins, and menstruation are very sensitive terms, and they are not dared to be spoken out loud. Although there are cultural and traditional reasons for this, this is the dross of the culture. To borrow a sentence from a netizen, when it comes to sex education, Chinese people, you are absent from class.
  • After watching ” Pursuit “: I finally understood that no matter how good the editing is, the main film will be bad. The last time I felt this way was when I watched “The Prosecution”. After watching it for more than an hour, I didn’t see any trace of drugs. There were floods, mudslides and landslides throughout the movie. I didn’t like rain in the first place, but now I hate it even more.
  • Xiao Lin said ” Exclusive interview with the founder of Duolingo: From a technical genius to the world’s number one language APP, he is really different~ “: This is an interview video with Duolingo founder Louis, discussing his entrepreneurship The history and development of Duolingo. During the interview, Louis mentioned that the biggest obstacle to language learning is boredom, so he tried every means from the beginning to make it interesting for users to learn languages ​​using Duolingo. For more information about your Duolingo experience, you can read @陈Cangjie ’s latest article ” 100 Days of Stress-Free Learning French in Duolingo “.
  • On September 26, Han Yu asked me why I had a weekly newspaper instead of a weekly diary. The purpose of the weekly report is to present and report to others, while the purpose of the weekly journal is to record the feelings of oneself. I replied with three words at the time – I didn’t think much about it, I really didn’t think much about it, it was just a form, it didn’t matter what it was called, whether it was a weekly diary or a weekly report, the first thing it was aimed at was myself, and the purpose was to record and think. There is another unreasonable reason, @Pseudoyu also uses weekly newspapers.
  • On September 26, some things I learned in school are generally wrong: 1. Let us be good friends with everyone. Keeping distance from people you don’t like will make each other happier. 2. Work on your weaknesses. Focusing on developing your own strengths will be more beneficial to survival. 3. Hard work will definitely pay off. If the approach is in the wrong direction, it will not pay off at all. 4. Sit down and discuss the problem first. There are more people in real life who cannot understand human speech than you think.
  • On September 28, I saw a special VPS at CloudCone , with 3 cores, 3G memory, and 6TB traffic, only $38/year. I saw there were 8 units available at that time, so I sent a tweet with a rebate link. I woke up this morning and found that it had more than 40,000 views, of which 5 were purchased through my link. Of course, it is now sold out, and I also made a little pocket money. By the way, I sent a work order and applied to the official for an exclusive discount code with a greater discount. I am still waiting for a reply, hoping it will be successful.
  • On September 29th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, I suddenly had the idea to use AI to generate several pictures related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, the results were pretty good. You can check my instant updates for specific pictures. The general process is as follows. First log in to the official ChatGPT website, let it provide me with some prompts, and continue to add details to make it perfect. Then log in to the Bing Create official website, enter the prompt provided by ChatGPT, and wait for generation.

The content of this week is the above. I hope to review my every week in a relaxed and calm way. I also hope that friends who subscribe to the blog will calmly read my sharing and continue to love their lives. Life is not just nonsense.

The background picture comes from a photo I took, the sky over Yuweizhou in Nanchang.
