Embrace you, my friend 🤗, I really don't know how you got here, but when you see these words, we are closer to each other than ever before.
I believe you are someone who enjoys reading 📖, and we also know that the fastest way to understand a book is to browse through the author's preface. Similarly, in order for you to understand this place better, I will introduce it to you and let you feel the kind of land you are standing on.
Hoodrh#
As you can see, Hoodrh is the name of this digital island 🏝, and also the creator of the island 🙎♂️. I believe that you have come here from afar not because you are interested in me, but because you are interested in the details of the "self" constructed by my words. I have always advocated that a writer should be anonymous. This anonymity does not mean that the person cannot be found, but rather that the author should hide behind their words and let the readers get to know this person through their words, which is what I mentioned earlier as the "self".
First, let me explain how this land was established#
Keywords: knowledge framework, information filtering, personal reflection
Since middle school, Hoodrh has been widely reading various miscellaneous books. In college, he also read all kinds of strange books that had been sitting in the library for many years 📚. He has always had the habit of writing down his thoughts and feelings (emotion-driven random writing). Later, for one or two years (2015-2017), he basically rejected modern communication tools 📱, so he didn't have much contact with many unfamiliar classmates and friends. He communicated with a few friends through letters ✉️. Now, thinking back, I remember that I used to read the received letters carefully and save them. I had ample feelings and thoughts about many things, and I had the patience to wait for them to become a part of me.
Nowadays, we spend most of our time immersed in electronic devices, and every product is using various strategies to occupy users' usage time 🕐. We spend so much time browsing countless information every day, but it doesn't contribute much to our personal knowledge growth. It mostly just "kills" our time. Many people think that reading content on apps increases their knowledge, but that is a big misunderstanding. The information that anyone can access now doesn't have much substantial value. The ability to process massive amounts of information, filter out the content we want, and think and analyze events to derive essential information is what we need to establish.
Therefore, I will express my thoughts on the process of building my own intellectual system through writing and publish them here, allowing them to sprout 🌱 and grow on this land, nourished by sunlight and rain. This also constitutes the rationality and significance of the existence of this land.
Next, let's interpret this land#
Keywords: digital island, connection, self-construction
This digital island called Hoodrh mainly records some thoughts and ideas during the construction of my intellectual system. It is an independent digital territory, and I have not done any SEO-related operations for search engines. Therefore, others will not find this place through search systems. Only a small number of people who see me through other platforms and discover the website's URL will come here. So, this place is more like a private territory, and everyone who comes here is a friend. I hope my words can treat you well.
The lack of openness of the website to the outside world allows me to focus on thinking and writing, rather than working to attract traffic or become an opinion leader. I hope to truly make profound and professional progress. However, this does not mean complete isolation. I will obtain various external information, and the relationship between this information and the outside world makes this digital island "connected" to the outside world. This connection is subtle, and its existence is like flowing air for this island.
Finally, a few words for you - my friend#
When you stop on this land, I only hope that my words can give you even a little bit of inspiration. Please don't believe what I say or what others say. Just take these as opportunities to inspire your thinking and think and express yourself.
I was also inspired by many people before I started to publish my thoughts and what I have learned. Among them, the 50 Days of Writing initiative launched by David Perell in the email subscription channel motivated and guided me. Of course, there are many excellent writers who have influenced me through their sharing, and they have inspired me to start writing my own articles.
If you, like me, have no experience or foundation in writing, let's start writing together ✍️. Even if the skills may be poor at first, it doesn't matter. Try to express your ideas. Writing is a great way of thinking 💭. Making progress every day will accumulate and bring about significant changes. Let's cheer each other on!!!
Personal Knowledge#
I remember going through some interviews where I was asked about my career plans. After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that career planning is important, but the process of reaching the planning result is even more important. Many people or career planners tailor a set of clothes 👔👗 specifically for "career", but we all know that as time goes by, people's body shapes change. So how can we achieve reasonable career planning?
I have two personal thoughts: First, try to create a detailed growth plan around your career and make adjustments every once in a while based on your own situation. I have found that many people do this. Second, expand the time, space, and even cognitive scale, and think about what a lifelong plan looks like, and then plan your career based on the life plan. Of course, at the level of life, it is more about determining the direction and values. I think it's better to think about the second question first, determine the direction and scope, and then think about the first question to obtain feasible operational plans.
Here, I will build my own personal intellectual system, mainly divided into three categories:
- Business: products, management, business operations, etc.
- Investment: personal operations and investment thinking
- Humanities: philosophy, cognition, thinking, etc.
I will expand from these three directions, touching on various aspects of my career and interests, in order to establish the ability to penetrate the surface of things and obtain more essential cores. The goal is to become an outstanding entrepreneur and investor.
Ecology#
The term ecology usually refers to the living state of organisms. It refers to the state in which organisms survive and develop in a certain natural environment, as well as their physiological characteristics and living habits. The word "ecology" comes from ancient Greek, meaning "home" or our environment. Simply put, ecology refers to the living state of all organisms and the interconnected relationships between them and the environment. The concept of ecology originally started with the study of individual organisms, and the scope involved in the term "ecology" has become broader and broader. People often use "ecology" to define many good things, such as healthy, beautiful, and harmonious things.
On this land, I hope that my cognition and knowledge will constantly sprout new branches and grow into a lush, multi-level, rich, and vibrant ecological system. I also hope that this place can become a home, providing me and every friend who comes here with a sense of peace and warmth.
PS. The establishment of this digital territory is to not rely on certain Internet giants. I want to be myself - a living person, rather than a number labeled by algorithms. At the same time, each article here belongs entirely to me. This is the beginning of the Web3 era.
