0 The Details

_24.6.2021_ Specific knowledge is the most useful knowledge. Only specific is practical and can be applied immediately. One who has experienced something is more knowledgeable and therefore can do it in the second time. The different between the best and worst cook is that the first knows the detail, and the later doesn't. This is applied to all skill and occupation. A professional photographer knows everything about his camera, poses, lighting, and all related knowledge in detail while the beginner only knows some of them. To compare the difference between detail and non-detail I can imagine two pictures, one is taken with professional camera and lens, the other one is taken with old phones. Another example is that when we read a book in a day under the sunlight compares to at night under the moonlight. People often too confident with their knowledge. They share an article or news from anonymous resources. The content itself is often unreliable, they can't detect the hoax just from the words. The age of information can easily become the age of hoax and misinformation. Internet can manipulate masses easily. As long as it spreads out widely, people will believe it. If the information is repeated over and over again, it will be regarded as valid. The truth is that most information in internet that is not in detail will probably hoax. An expert is someone who has made all possible mistakes. It means he has tried everything related to the matter. Normal people are terrified to make mistakes and avoid them. Therefore they will never be experts. True knowledge cannot be taught but can be learned. Everyone has their own point of view based on their past experiences and knowledge. He has to experience it by himself not by the story of others or teachers. Detail knowledge is reliable and applicable. It can be gotten from experiments and theories at the same time. People fail at their attempts because they do not have enough knowledge. Not enough means not in details. If one shoots a bird and he knows the detail position, and he uses a gun with 100% precision, it's easy for him to shoot it down. There are a lot of uncertainties in life. A lot of factors play a role and often change over time. In this sense, it's almost impossible to know what will happen in the future. In my own daily life, I can't be sure what I will do in the next one or two hours. I can make a schedule but still I can't follow it 100% of the time. Making schedule is actually the way to know what I will do in the day. Without such plan, I just will likely waste my time on unrelated things. I can't even predict myself, my thoughts, and my actions. I can say that today I will finish reading one book or editing five videos, that won't happen precisely as I said. It's a mystery for me, and I'm finding out the truth, why I can behave as I wish. If I can really behave as I wish, it's easy for me to be rich, healthy, and happy. I just make the schedule and follow it blindly. I should know in detail how I fail and document it. After that I make correction and adjustment until I make it and hit 100% of the time. It sounds easy and doable right now right here when I am not in action. I just write it down. The application is totally different story. At least with such schedule and report, I'll make better decision. It's all about the decision that I make over time. I'm always choosing and making decision whether to do this or not to do this. I am in charge. When I am mindful and do it consciously, I do better. When I do thing mindlessly, normally I do not do it right. The biggest obstacle is my smartphone. I open social media and YouTube and suddenly it's two hours wasting time. Same old same old, people do not change. Promise is not reliable. How many married couples finally get divorce after several years of the marriage. It's the commitment every day that counts. Atomic habit is the way to do it. Make the habit easy and must be reviewed every day. If it's not a progress, it's a decline. Monitoring the habit every day means to improve it daily. 1% improvement every day is good enough. Over time it will be 100% and more. If no one monitors the habit, it will decline for sure. That's why an athlete needs a coach to train him and monitor the progress. People behave well under the monitor. Finally the most important to do is 'to know yourself'. Very few people know themselves in detail. They have no idea their weakness and strength. What should be improved and what should be eliminated. They never know how long they can survive without foods. How hard they can work. How fast they can run. They do not know their worry and fear in detail. What they really want and what make them happy and unhappy. They have no idea what makes them angry and sad. When they get sick they do not know what the cause is. They do not see their habit in detail. Shortly they do not know themselves. They do not know their own behaviors and emotions, therefore they are not in control to them.
