【Question】1: Teacher, I procrastinate with my studies and do not enjoy reading, often using busyness as an excuse to avoid learning.

Answer: People think reading is learning, and everything else is not. Or they think attending classes is learning, and everything else is not. This is actually a misconception. Any learning that is not aimed at solving problems will eventually fade away because we do not know what to do with what we have learned. If you encounter problems in life that bother you, you will learn with the aim of solving these problems.

For example, if you are poor, you will think about how to escape poverty and will not simply accept being poor and miserable. Or if people look down on you and you want them to respect you, you need to study how to solve this. Learning related to making a living is especially important. It is a tragedy if a person cannot make a living. If you are always busy with work but still cannot support yourself, can you take some time to figure out if you are doing the right kind of work and if your methods are effective? Therefore, if you think learning is just pretending to read a book, it will be difficult to persist.

Today, we must all understand why we need to read God's Word? It is still to solve problems. If you do not want to solve any problems, then you must continue to live that way and continue to suffer. So, active learning is about solving problems, while passive learning is about not wanting to solve any problems, or the solution is too far away, which is troublesome, and you cannot keep learning. For example, can a child's good schooling solve the problem of making a living in the future? This in itself is a question. Many people study for many years, obtain many degrees, but still struggle to make a living. It is better to first understand what we want to do, such as making a living. If we want to be an accountant, we need to pass the primary and intermediate accounting exams, or become a certified public accountant, or whatever else we need to figure out.

Procrastination is common. During my lectures, you need to develop a new habit, as habits determine destiny. Having a habit of procrastination means a life of procrastination, and you certainly do not want to live that kind of life. So, whether we are learning, reading, or doing anything else, as long as it is aimed at solving problems, it is powerful. I do not know if this answers your question. You can ask more questions if you have them.

【Question】2: While sorting out concepts, a question suddenly occurred to me: When establishing a belief system and wanting to understand the priorities on a cognitive level, where should I start and what should I study first?

Answer: I think you can start anywhere. Do not think that because you are busy, you only eat and do not drink water. Actually, when you are thirsty, you drink water; when you are hungry, you eat; when you are sleepy, you sleep. There is no priority; they are all about the same. Establishing a belief system must be a gradual process from simple to complex.

【Question】3: Teacher, I encounter some things at work that I do not understand. Others explain how they calculated it, but I still cannot wrap my head around it and cannot understand. I am okay with memorizing things, but I get a headache when it comes to number conversions.

Answer: Then start learning with simple numbers. Many people want to learn complex things right away and do not want to start from the basics, which will definitely confuse them. One child always thought that 2+3 equals 8. Finally, I taught him that 2+3 equals 5. Because I discovered that this child did not understand what 1 is, so he knew even less about other numbers. I explained to him that 1 is one 1, 2 is two 1s, and 3 is three 1s, and so on. After teaching him, he understood. Actually, he was confused by the teacher. So numbers always go from simple to complex. People have a bad habit of wanting to do deep, complex, and difficult things right away. I saw that you had this problem when you were in school. You liked to do difficult problems and ended up achieving nothing. Actually, all complex problems are combinations of simple problems. You may not learn it even after I finish explaining it this time because I need you to bring out the actual problem, and I will teach you based on your actual problem. The effect will definitely be better.

【Question】4: I find that I learn things very slowly, react sluggishly, and have difficulty thinking. Now I find that my son is the same way. Is this caused by long-term brain laziness or other reasons?

Answer: Some of this, I really have to say, is a spiritual constraint. Your sluggish reaction and difficulty thinking may be a lie or a constraint. Most of it may be a lie. We are just putting a hat on ourselves called slow to react or difficulty thinking. Actually, that may not be the case because I have tried this type of person. Do not think I am insulting you here; there is no insult at all. I held up one finger and asked him what number it was, and he said 1. See, that is a pretty fast reaction. You say you react slowly to other things, then start with simple things. We just do not want to do simple things, and when we do, we want to do difficult things. This kind of problem is quite common. I see that your child is also like this. When they see something is so simple, they do not bother with it. Actually, if you do not understand the simple things, you cannot do the complex things. So, I think we all have to change this habit today, otherwise, we will just put a random hat on ourselves and say that we are slow to react.

At the same time, we are not good at finding things that are suitable for us to learn. For example, if you read something and immediately get confused, then it is not suitable for you to read. If you think you can read children's books, then start with kindergarten children's books. You can catch up quickly. I think what people say about being slow to react and having difficulty thinking may be that we have instilled this concept in our children. Subconsciously saying that they are slow to react. Many children who are said to have learning disabilities by teachers, I find that they have no disabilities at all, just a little lazy.

Another situation is a constraint. I think you should feel uncomfortable when you encounter this situation, so start praying in tongues and praying in the spirit. After praying, then do it. Of course, you must read things that are suitable for you to read. Knowledge is accumulated in this way. Do not skip. Actually, you cannot skip anyway. Forcing yourself to skip will only result in you being miserable and then being labeled as slow to react and having difficulty thinking. Previously, we sent a person to an accounting firm. After a period of training, he found that he had no problems at all, just lazy.

【Question】5: My son learns quickly in improper matters but only does the bare minimum in proper matters. He is easily influenced by unorthodox things. What is the reason for this, and how can I guide him back?

Answer: This is human nature. Not just your son is like this; everyone's son is like this. My answer to you is to let children learn to be reverent from a young age. If that does not work, then discipline him. If you do not discipline him, how can he become an adult? Can everyone accept my logic? What do you mean by how to guide? You have been guiding him for a long time, and he is still like this. So, what is needed is not guidance but discipline.

【Question】6: Sometimes I study very smoothly and thoroughly, but sometimes I avoid studying and do not want to do anything. What is the reason? How can I persist in doing the right things?

Answer: I have already said that your intelligence is not bad. It is normal to have the feeling of not wanting to do anything; everyone has that time. Actually, not wanting to do anything and feeling very down and depressed is a very bad feeling. At this time, it is even more necessary to solve problems. Do not think that learning is simply learning; learning must start with solving problems.

Actually, sometimes I do not want to do anything either, but when I see that the house is messy, I quickly clean it up. This is something that can be done. What if it still cannot be cleaned up no matter how hard I try? Many things are piled up and start flowing down. Then I need to solve these problems. At this time, I need to see if I need to throw away some things or get a storage cabinet, and then how these things should be placed. This is all learning. See how other people organize things and then see how to arrange your own home. Many things are about solving problems in order to improve our quality of life or to improve comfort. You cannot say that I am doing this to learn from Lei Feng and only do it when I am interested and not do it when I am not interested. Even if you are emulating Lei Feng, you have to solve other people's problems.

【Question】7: I see that some people can ponder over problems, are very good at thinking, and create things. How should I learn to emulate these people and have the spirit of thinking and pondering over problems?

Answer: Then start with the problems in your life that you need to ponder over. There are definitely problems in your home. If they are not resolved, they will be like flies and mosquitoes surrounding you, and you will not be comfortable and well. So why do we not think and ponder over them? Maybe you do not have the resources and do not know what to do. That is why someone is giving you ideas. Shepherding is doing this.

【Question】8: My difficulty in learning is in reading books. I read very slowly, cannot read fast, and easily cannot remember if I read fast. I have to reread the table of contents and use the framework to remember a little, but the efficiency is still not high.

Answer: Reading slowly means you are reading it wrong. Find a book on How to Read Quickly and practice according to the methods it says. We also had a speed reading course before. Go and practice it. Do not think that you will become very fast after practicing it once. You have to keep practicing, and you will become faster as you practice. It is like a child growing taller. How can you not grow taller after eating one meal? It is the same as being hungry again this year after eating your fill last year. It is not that it will have an effect all at once.

【Question】9: Teacher, I am not very clear about the specific application of abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. Are these four steps for discovering the essence of a thing and summarizing logical laws? Or are they four methods? If they are four steps, what is the order of application? If they are four methods, how do I choose the appropriate method in different situations?

Answer: The order I teach is abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. You are not very clear about the specific applications because you have not used them yet. You will become clear as you use them.

The next few questions are quite deep. Actually, they are neither four steps nor four methods. All things require the use of abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. There is no order. When you apply them, you will find that these four aspects will enter your mind. When you see a book, you need to summarize and abstract it. When you see a phenomenon, you also need to summarize and abstract it. If it is messy, you need to organize it.

【Question】10: Teacher, every time I look for resources online, I have a confused and impatient situation where the more I look, the more confused I become, and I cannot solve the problem in the end. Please teach me the specific reasons.

Answer: Because there is too much garbage online. Just finding information itself requires learning. Your current situation is that you do not know how to find information, so you have to learn how to find information. You will not know if you do not learn. You first need to learn how to find information, mainly keywords. We must have a vision for the problems we encounter. It is not that we can find them immediately after searching. It takes time to find them. Including finding a suitable person for a company, it is also very difficult and cannot be found all at once. So, impatience is a problem, and not knowing how to do it is another problem. If you solve these two problems, you will know how to do it.

【Question】11: Teacher, talk about how to connect abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization when reading a book. Please give an example.

Answer: When you read books, especially classic books, you can ask your pastor to help you with abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. Classic books require a lot of abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. For example, marketing, human resources management, accounting, and projects all require learning. The process of learning is actually abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization. These are four important elements of active learning. The connection between the four parts is not that important. We often mix unrelated things together, which makes us very tired and ineffective.

【Question】12: Teacher, it seems that every day, my time is taken up by working, eating, doing chores, reading the Bible, and not enough time for prayer. It seems that I do not have time to read other books. I want to know how you arrange your time.

Answer: It seems that people's time is taken up by working, handling chores, and eating, but that is not the case. We always think that we need our brains when we are defecating, but the two are not connected. You can read something while you are defecating. Everyone definitely has the habit of watching Douyin when they are defecating. Do not think I do not know, because I do it myself. Actually, you do not need to be so focused when you are defecating. You can also think about and sort out things while commuting for 40 minutes, which does not conflict with taking the bus because you do not need to use your brain when taking the bus. Someone said that they had to drive from one city to another and spent two hours on the road. You can do a lot of things while driving for two hours. If you are taking the bus for two hours, you can do even more things.

We always feel that we do not have enough time, but time slips through our fingers. We think that sleeping is just sleeping, eating is just eating, and defecating is just defecating, but that is impossible. For example, cleaning, just a little thing at home. Some people wonder how I have so much time. I just think about my lectures while I am cleaning. What topics to talk about, what difficulties everyone encounters, which difficulties should be solved, and what small gifts I should prepare for everyone this Spring Festival. These are all things I think about in my mind. When you are doing something, do not think that you can only do that one thing and cannot do anything else.

One of our pastors had surgery on his buttocks and said that it hurt so much that he could not serve. I said that buttocks pain has nothing to do with the mouth, it is not mouth pain. I prayed for him, and I collapsed after praying for two days because he would not hurt when he fell asleep, but he would wake up when he hurt, so I had to pray for him over and over again for two days. I realized that this was not right, so I told him to serve the people he should serve. For example, you do not need to be so focused when you go to the barber. You are not a barber. Barbers cannot be distracted and turn people's hair disaster, turning the desert into rivers and opening roads in the wilderness, and making a hairstyle that you cannot look at. Thinking about it this way, you will have time. You watch Douyin when you cannot sleep at night, or you try to sleep hard, but the more you cannot sleep, the more irritable you become, and the more irritable you become, the more you cannot sleep, and you end up doing nothing. Now the time is back. You can find at least three hours of time a day, including bathing, showering, and washing clothes. These things do not require brains.

【Question】13: Teacher, hello. Every time I am with my elderly father, I feel very conflicted because I do not know how to convey the philosophy of Chinese Mingding Doctrine to him. My father was baptized and is 83 years old this year. His body is gradually declining, and his mind and actions are also gradually slowing down. Because he has a live-in nanny, he is lazy and does not move. When I talk to him about the gospel, he will listen quietly but will not take the initiative to mention it. When I am not around, he will not take the initiative to open his phone to listen to recordings. Actually, he has experienced healing. My small pastor prayed with him and healed his photophobia that had lasted for several years. Teacher, what should I do in this situation?

Answer: Do not do anything. Remember, when people get old and reach the age of decline, they can no longer remember the Creator. That is why I am a little anxious and hope that everyone will remember the Creator before the days of decline come.

【Question】14: Teacher, I am retired and do not have contact with society at home. I usually read the Bible, do homework, read some history books, make some video clips, and do housework. How should I train myself to grow in abstraction, summarization, induction, and organization?

Answer: Everything needs to be abstracted, summarized, inducted, and organized in everything you do at home, whether it is reading the Bible, doing homework, or reading some history books. If you are in your sixties and not old, and there is nothing wrong with your hands and feet or body, and you are just staying at home, did your pastor not kick you? Staying like this will make you stupid. Go and do something serious, even if it is just 3,000 to 5,000 a month, it is a benefit to help supplement the household expenses or save it up for your children. Actually, there is a lot of free time when you are at work. Even if you are almost seventy, you have to study. You not only have to learn but also have to think.

Also, there are many elderly people doing live broadcasts online. Doing live broadcasts requires collecting and organizing materials. If you do not have fans, do it slowly. You can always find some things to make yourself grow. I am a very good person to live with. Do not think that when people reach a certain age, they just eat, drink, and wait for death; that is called not knowing how to live. People who know how to live can create many things. Of course, you cannot be Deng Xiaoping, and they will not give you that qualification to do it. Deng Xiaoping was still carrying out reform and opening up at the age of seventy-six.

【Question】15: Teacher, I have never been successful in exams. I always mess up when I take exams. I have to retake everything before I can pass. As long as I do not take the exam, I can do well. My former teachers all thought I could pass, but I always get nervous when I take the exam and always have a feeling that I will not pass, and then I really do not pass. How should I change this situation?

Answer: Then what you need to learn is to do the things that you know how to do correctly. The exam is about you doing the things you know how to do correctly, not losing the points you should get, and not taking the points you should not get. The logic is that you should not lose points for the things you can do correctly. If you usually do well when practicing, there is nothing to be nervous about when you take the exam. You must be nervous because you are not prepared enough. Someone said that they did not pass the exam. I asked them how many points they got when they practiced. The exam is 90 points to pass, but they only got 92 or 93 points when they practiced, which is easy to fail. If you get 100 points every time you practice, you will pass the exam even if you miss 5 questions and get 95 points. If you only get 92 points, you are still lazy and feel like you are doing well.

【Question】16: Teacher, I really do not like to write, especially when the leader wants me to write articles about promotional information. The work that has not been done is just an idea plan, but the information has to be promoted first, which often belongs to closed-door construction. Then, after writing, it has to be approved or published by the superior leader, so I really do not enjoy writing. What should I do, teacher?

Answer: That is your job. There is no like or dislike, enjoy or not enjoy. We always pull these things together. What if a cleaner says they do not like cleaning? Or a cook says they do not like cooking? We have to cultivate a liking for what we do, no matter what it is, because we have to face it every day. If you do not like it every day and always make things difficult for yourself, you will make yourself very uncomfortable. So there is no like or dislike. Work is your responsibility. It is like me. Sometimes I get annoyed serving some people. Then I think that this is my work, this is my responsibility. If you do not do well the things God has given you, you will be disciplined. So, if you are faithful in small things, you will be faithful in great things. If you are faithful in other people's things, God will give you your own things. How well is this said?

【Question】17: Teacher, I would like to ask an off-topic question. My husband's elder brother smashes bowls and chopsticks when he drinks if a word doesn't suit him. He has to vent his anger. He always goes against people and cannot be spoken to or scolded. He even smashes things when eating at my house. He is incompetent but has a big temper. I can't say anything because my parents-in-law are there, and my sister-in-law is also a Christian. Is this a spirit of enmity? How should I deal with it?

Answer: Why does he come to your house to smash things? This kind of person is someone that no one can control; no one has ever disciplined him. If you can't discipline him, and he is too strong for you to handle, then stay away from him to avoid getting hurt. Why did you invite him in the first place? Don't include him in future gatherings. If he wants to come in, tell him beforehand that he can come in, but he has to smash things outside the door, not inside. Why do we encounter such problems, and why can we tolerate things developing this way? That should be a problem between you and your husband. This kind of person has no brotherly affection.

【Question】18: Teacher, I also have a headache when teaching my child. When teaching him the most basic phonics in Spanish, he just reads the letters and words randomly, and no amount of correction helps. Then he starts crying, and I scold him, and he doesn't want to learn anymore. Seeing that my friend's child, who is also 6 years old, can do addition and subtraction within 100 and is fluent in English and Spanish, I get anxious and can't control my temper.

Answer: Raising children is risky, indeed. It's truly hard work. I have encountered similar situations, such as teaching him crab five times, and he gets it, but when I ask him to spell it again, he spells it randomly. Such situations are common, not isolated cases. In such situations, you must not force him; it won't help at all. You need to take him to do some work and learn while working. Don't compare your child to others just because they can do addition and subtraction within 100 at six years old. Some people go to university at ten and get their doctorate at sixteen. We don't compare that way. I often tell everyone not to focus on these things because it's easy to spoil children.

Even if someone I taught can't spell crab properly, their mother still thinks they can get into 清华 or 北大. Having this kind of mother is a tragedy, very unrealistic. So what can you do? Can you find some chores or things that the child can do, some manual labor, and teach him some blue-collar skills? He probably hasn't done any housework; the people at home probably feel sorry for him and don't let him do it; otherwise, he wouldn't be so clumsy. We need to guide these children towards working and problem-solving. You must know that when children are like this, it's even more of a headache for their parents when they grow up. Learning practical skills is better. Don't teach him the wrong way from a young age. You are pushing him in the wrong direction now.

【Question】19: Teacher, I always feel conflicted when I am with my elderly father, who is 88 years old this year. After his lung cancer surgery in 2014, my aunt and I often prayed for him. My aunt was baptized, but later he not only stopped her from praying but also prevented me from sharing the truth with her. Teacher, what should I do in this situation?

Answer: There is nothing to do. What is there to do? The aunt is the aunt, and he is he. Can he dictate what she does? Many problems are caused by being spoiled, whether it's the elderly or children. The problem is that we don't realize this isn't an actual issue. The problem is that you react according to what your father does because of family affection, and this relationship often holds people captive. We don't need to worry about whether someone has been baptized or not. I don't even know what these things are. Some people are alive, but you don't even know if they're still your father. Many such things happens on the spiritual level. This has nothing to do with learning methods and is worth exploring. Before someone dies, they cease to be their old selves several years prior. You will find that they specifically torment their family members, but that may not be the person you know, but rather an evil spirit. If you recognize this situation, you must control this spirit. Otherwise, if you pity your father, are you pitying the ghost or the person?

【Question】20: Teacher, I am still confused about abstraction. I understood a little more after listening to the teacher's explanation yesterday, but I can't connect the teacher's metaphors with learning.

Answer: Connect it slowly; it can't be done all at once. After listening once, you understand a little more; listening again, you understand even more. Then, when you put it into practice, you will understand even more. You will find that learning is about summarizing patterns. I have taught you the four levels of summarizing patterns, and you can gradually implement them. There is always a big gap between what comes and what is implemented.

【Question】21: Teacher, does poor focus mean brain laziness? How can I specifically deal with it and practice?

Answer: I have not yet studied in sufficient depth to have a high level on poor focus. However, the relationship between poor focus and laziness is not significant. A mind with poor focus is overflowing with uncontrolled thoughts. Some people stare blankly when looking at things. Once you notice that you have this problem, start praying in tongues extensively. I have taught people to do this, but I don't know if it's effective for everyone. For example, you may be fine when you start, but after a while, your mind wanders, and you don't know what you are thinking. If you realize this, immediately pray in tongues. After praying, your focus will improve a little, and you can concentrate again and start working. This process happens again after ten, twenty minutes indicating the action of an evil spirit. Therefore, children's poor academic performance can be the result being disturbed by evil spirits.

【Question】22: Teacher, how can I complete note-taking and reflection more efficiently? I repeatedly check my work, which makes it time-consuming.

Answer: Note-taking is one thing. Many people who write reflections create problems even when there aren’t any, as if they're are not properly reflecting, so it's impossible to write well. What exactly are reflections? They are connected to one's own issues. reflection at a happy time produces nothing worthwhile, and a long time of doing that yields nothing as well. To complete notes and reflections efficiently requires writing skills, which need to be practiced repeatedly. Most individuals who have lived to sixty or seventy years old without doing much writing would have poor thinking skills. If information is not organized, it cannot enter the brain. Let me repeat: your brain cannot function properly if you don't write things down because information that enters the brain must be abstracted, summarized, generalized, and organized. Writing is the act of abstracting, summarizing, generalizing, and organizing. If you don't know how to do it at first, you want to know how to complete it effectively however the problem to be addressed is not in finding quick solutions, but in practicing more.

【Question】23: Teacher, how can I effectively practice grasping the key points step by step and thoroughly understand them?

Answer: When we read the Bible, we must identify the key points, concepts, and the relationships between concepts. This should be familiar to us as I lead everyone to study the Bible. Once you grasp the key points, the next step is to determine what relevance there is to our concept of self. It is easier to grasp the key points if they are relevant, and it is harder if they are not. In other words, it's hard to thoroughly understand something if you don't apply it. We need to first familiarize ourselves with something in our daily lives, gradually practice, and then we'll become more accurate at grasping the key points. The last time we discussed the Book of 1 Corinthians, we weren't that accurate yet. We still grasped key points, but not as accurately as now. So, as our spiritual altitude increases, our ability to grasp key points becomes stronger.

【Question】24: Teacher, I feel anxious inside and agree with what you said. I feel like I have wasted a lot of time in the past and am running out of time. Sometimes, this feeling bothers me, causing me to lose focus and feel uneasy while learning.

Answer: As the teacher discussed, these individuals are either lying flat, or are anxious. It's never too late to have good change in life . Jiang Taigong didn't come out of the mountains until he was 70 years old, so we don't need to be anxious. Anxiousness is carnal. I have mentioned before that when you encounter this kind of situation, you should pray in tongues extensively. We can only rely on the Holy Spirit to mortify the deeds of the flesh. Using carnal methods to deal with carnal problems simply won't work.

【Question】25: Teacher, I am reading some books related to my field, but when I see a thick book with too many words, I find it hard to read and lose interest quickly. Sometimes, I forget everything after reading a book. How can I remember the important content of the book?

Answer: The bottom line is that people cannot remember if they don't organize. If you organize, it enters your brain neatly. If you can summarize a book on a 16K piece of paper, you can clearly explain what it's about. This is intensive reading. When doing intensive reading, especially of classics, don't expect to understand everything after reading it once. Even I can't do that. This speaks to the ability to remember the contents of a book.

Secondly, what does it mean to be proactive? One proactive approach is to be able to explain what you have read to others. This is an active process. Once you repeatedly explain something, you clarify it to yourself, not just to the listener. Professional books may seem thick, but they often don't contain much substance. When reading, first build a framework of what the book is about and which concepts are discussed. It will be much easier to fill in the content once you have a framework. If you read it word by word from the beginning, you will be defeated.

【Question】26: Teacher, how can I overcome learning things that I am not good at? I feel resistant to it. How can I adjust myself to enter a positive learning state, and how can I avoid being overly concerned about what others think of me, which causes me to be timid and perform even worse? Thank you, Teacher.

Answer: I can sense your situation the core issue isn't about reading things for other people it is about what we think on the inside. We don't need others' opinions. If we want others' opinions, we should practice at home first and then show off a little, feeling good about it. You don't need to care about others when you are working on your own, but you need to learn to use resources. Since you are not very good at learning, you must heed the guidance of your pastor because he helps you. How do you adjust your learning state? You must study things related to your profession. Many people haven't done well in their own field and say they don't know how to grow. If you don't think you can fill the role of your leader it is time to do your best to grow on the field you have been planted on.

You must build upon what you already know, deepening and expanding it horizontally and vertically. I haven't asked you to learn those miscellaneous things. Of course, it's not a big deal if you want to browse some random books while sitting on the toilet. As I mentioned yesterday, seeing oneself, seeing the world, and seeing all living beings are things I learned while using WeChat Reading casually when I couldn't sleep. When I see something good that's summarized better than I could, I share it with everyone. Stop focusing on what you are not good at and study things that are part of your job. For example, if I can do general accounting, I can also learn to do inventory management or human resources. The main part of human resources is paying salaries, which is also related to our field.

【Question】27: Teacher, do farming and tailoring also require abstraction, generalization, summarization, and organization?

Answer: You ask a good question. Everyone needs them to live. Agricultural scientists study how to significantly increase crop yields per acre. If it weren't for these scientists, many of us would go hungry today. These agricultural scientists do abstraction, generalization, summarization, and organization. In a nearby village, some farmers become richer while others become poorer, depending on what they choose to plant each year. Last year, watermelons were scarce, so everyone planted watermelons this year, leading to a market glut and no profit. Tailors need it to design clothes well and may dry up their careers. You do the same thing every day, you don't need anything, but by doing so, you put yourself out of a job. For example, do delivery drivers need to learn anything? If you do delivery work your whole life, you'll become an elderly driver one day. A life without abstract, generalize, summarize, and organize will lead to tragedy!

Ponder over it slowly. I think we all need to adjust. Don't think you don't need it to live. Observe those around you. Those who live to their thirties will definitely experience spiritual things. If you don't abstract, generalize, summarize, and organize, how can you know that the spiritual realm is real and live well? Observe those who are afraid of death and desperately want to live; they all live miserably. Those who don't care much, even when they get sick, and don't care about life or death often survive. These things need to be abstracted, summarized, generalized, and organized. After summarizing, you will suddenly realize that the rule is like this. There are many things to summarize and there are takeaways for everyone, not just physicists and mathematicians. Even cooks or cleaning ladies need it. Someone might wonder: do cleaning ladies need it too? That cleaning lady definitely can't beat me. I can clean two or three times as fast as her. I can do it quickly because I think about how to do the same work in less time.

【Question】28: Teacher, what are some good ways to remember what you have read? I can't remember things well.

Answer: You don't need to remember, because what you read is not related to the problems you are solving. The way you are reading is often a passive undertaking.

Let me explain to everyone: what you read is too passive. If you ask me, “Can you remember what you read?” I also can't remember what I read. If you ask, “How do you remember?” I remember what I explain as I explain it. you all understand? Passive things cannot be remembered. Can the teacher remember books? The answer is ultimately no. But you can not forget the solutions you found.

Let me give you an example. When I used to work, I faced many challenges, such as project management. How do you manage a project? Many projects tend to fail, and there are conflicts with suppliers. These are extremely complex conflicts, like a zero-sum game. What should I do? I pondered, and I read materials. I wanted to solve this problem, and I eventually understood it. Because the relationship between two entities becomes zero sums, it is impossible for the situation to improve. If I make him do more work, he earns less money. If he wants to earn more money, he solves fewer of my problems. Why did you have to have this project managed? I wanted to see if there was a way to motivate him. I found a way it to ensure he was able to perform well.

Finally, I tell you that non-specific things cannot be outsourced or the quality of the result you are looking for might not be what you are expecting. . For example, if you manage a project and ask me to build a house, I build things as fast and cheaply as possible. You did not tell him how high and wide and long the house should be. If no instructions are given, don;t blame someone else for poor planning. So what do you do with the house? Can you live in it? Do you give the money to the one whom made the house? What did you decide?

Have you understood? You have to avoid giving non-specific instructions. You didn't tell him what the walls should be like, which materials to use for the floor, or how the ceiling should be. He just built it in the cheapest way. Isn't that just creating problems for yourself? Non-specific things cannot be outsourced. What I mean to say is that I can't forget this even if I tried because it is a problem I solved.

You haven't developed the habit of solving problems and are going through the motions, just like forcing a child to study. The child can't remember after reading, and neither can you. I today want to teach adults and children to solve problems! Children need to start solving problems, such as helping their mother with housework. This will definitely make them smarter. They have to come up with ideas, right?

【Question】29: Teacher, I don't like to think. How should I deal with this?

Answer: If you don't like to think, you have big problems! Let's put it this way: if you want to marry a rich man, will that rich man pick you up if you don't think? I am telling you, many people like you hope to find a rich man like you to solve the problems of eating, drinking, sleeping and living. What will they do once they marry you?

Thinking is what you need. Those who lack the ability to develop such an important skill in life will suffer from the effects one way or another!

How do you deal with not liking to think? Find your pastor to fix you every day.

【Question】30: Teacher, there are many things to learn. How do I find the most priority?

Answer: There is no need to find the most important goal because your heart will guide you. Don't go looking in the sky or the ocean; look in your life. What can the servant do? Can they be doing their services well?

I once taught everyone something, and I will repeat it today: that if I feel that I am working poorly today or feel overwhelmed what can I do to find success? I must first reverse my overwhelmed situation.

What can I do in this situation? Prioritize ensuring rest and seek insight to make good decisions along the way. In the situation is that I learn to do my work well in a timely fashion and I have enough time to spare. I spend the extra time pondering what I can do to excel on my job. That can be done by preparing myself to adapt to these challenges.

To manage a city in China, the leaders must have a forward view of five to ten years. Some cities focus on technology and stay ahead. Others make wrong choices, lag behind, and struggle to catch up. Isn't it so? GDP cannot rise without industry. Do you understand?

So, I tell you, there is a video online about revitalizing Northeast China, which faces immense difficulties. These difficulties are not due to policies or resources, but to the local culture. The mindset and ways of thinking have not adjusted. These cities don't know what to prioritize. Isn't it so? They fall far behind and struggle to catch up. Isn't it so? People migrate out, industries fail to upgrade, and talent cannot be retained. Even when talent is brought in, they don't know what to do. Isn't it so? Once in this situation, turning it around becomes the top priority. Do you understand?

【Question】31: Teacher, I learn but can't remember, and I can't connect it to life, so change is slow. How can I learn and apply?

Answer: I just explained. What do you do now? Can you type it out? Everyone should have a job to support themselves. Working in a unit, what is that? Just sitting? What kind of job? HR? Marketing? Accounting? Working is not a job. Which job? Oh, market management. Then study market management in depth. Can you become a specialist in market management? It should be a government department or a company? If it's a company, it's marketing. If it's a government department, it's about formulating good policies and seeing how other cities do it.

If you are in a bad city, your government department must be bad. Do you understand? Because everyone is bad, so they just muddle through, go to work, and then go home. So today we will study the government's policies and their impact on the city's market management. This becomes our motivation to learn. Isn't it so? You start to think, because it is closely related to you. You see many unreasonable, mindless leaders leading a group of mindless employees. Day after day, they just muddle through. Eventually, the city may not even be able to pay the civil servants. We must learn to grow while sitting. In the future, you will be great.

Other cities also need civil servants. If you want, you can go there to muddle through. Isn't it so? There are many talented people there. Do you know that often we have many opportunities? Don't think you will die working in that place. If you think you will die there, you don't need to learn anything. Just muddle through. They won't fire you, and you can't fire them. Just muddle through until the government goes bankrupt, becomes a deadbeat, and can't pay salaries. What to do? Find those with potential, those whose governments manage well. Remember, if the economy is developed, the government must be doing well. Do you understand? Start thinking.

【Question】32: Teacher, I understand the Bible stories and your teachings, but I can't explain them to others. Is this related to the spiritual realm?

Answer: No, it's just because you haven't practiced. Practice speaking in front of a mirror. Let me tell you, I have practiced speaking a lot. I couldn't speak, I felt uncomfortable, I couldn't explain clearly. It's not something you can figure out with a snap of your fingers. How did I practice? Whether I was a pastor or worked in a company, I put in a lot of effort to practice. Practice in front of a mirror first.

【Question】33: Teacher, what is a classic in business management? What are the tips for searching online?

Answer: Sometimes it's hard to read these classics. What to do? Skim through them first. For example, Marketing Management. Usually, this book has more than a thousand pages. Don't read it word by word. Once you finish reading, it's over. What to do? Look for books that have been published in five, eight, or even a dozen editions. Because it can be published in so many editions, it has become a textbook for university courses. They didn't choose it randomly. There must be a reason. A lot of experts and teachers chose it. So choose university textbooks. Do you understand? What else to choose? Choose some guides on how to read these things. For example, in accounting, there is something called Three-Color Notes. I think he summarized it well. People summarize things.

For example, it's hard to read The Art of War directly. After we read The Art of War, someone interprets it well. Huang Aihua's interpretation is good. It can be used in business. So when we read these things, we read both the classics and their interpretations. For example, Hua Shan's Hua Shan Reading Notes. His explanations are okay. So these things gradually adjust, and you will find that the rules in these classics are like this.

【Question】34: Teacher, when I learn, especially new things, my mind goes blank. Is this brain laziness?

Answer: It should be that the new things you are learning are too new and unrelated to you. You should learn things that are somewhat related to you now. Do you understand? If you learn purely for the sake of learning from books, it is a wrong learning method. Many things are learned while solving problems, standing in your current position, facing the problems you are facing now, and learning with this attitude. When you learn, you see that we need to solve the current problem. I do market management, how do I do it? First, understand the basic principles of market management, which seem unrelated to my problem, but in fact, they summarize the most basic principles of market management. After learning, start looking for more applied theories and materials, theories and applications are two levels, and read applied cases. As you read, you will collect a lot of information; as you read, you will accumulate many of these stories, successful cases of how people did it; as you read, you will organize these successful cases into your own set of experiences, and then you will develop a plan to implement it in your company's market management.

【Question】35: Teacher, if I don't see through life enough and have worldly logic, will there be fewer miracles in prayer and healing?

Answer: Not seeing through life is just that you don't observe enough. It's best not to learn lessons from yourself, but to learn from others. For example, if you go to the hospital and see a lot of people with tubes waiting to die, what can you summarize? You will come to some interesting insights, right? Don't wait until you get there to summarize. What's the point of summarizing then? No need to summarize. You must see through it. You can't solve problems if you don't see through them. If you don't study marketing deeply enough, you can't solve marketing problems. If you don't study mathematics deeply enough, you can't solve mathematical problems. Do you understand? You have to accumulate for a period of time. If you don't see through life, you can't live well. So if people don't live well in this world, you are blessed, and you can seek God.

【Question】36: Teacher, teach us how you prepare for Sunday sermons.

Answer: First, what troubles me the most? The current problems that everyone faces, especially the common ones. I have to find this. I can't just come up with it myself. Then I set the topic to be related to the current problems. This is the first. Second, I make it clear what the Sunday sermon is for. The Sunday sermon is to inspire everyone's faith, not really to impart knowledge. But inspiring everyone's faith can't be nonsense, such as Tomorrow Will Be Better. How will it be better? It can't be good. Tomorrow Will Be Better is nonsense. It must have logic.

I pass on these divine laws and divine logic to build everyone's faith in God's word. Once you have faith, you will find that many problems are solved easily. This is all a matter of faith. So the Sunday sermon is to build everyone's faith in God's word. That's why you hear it, and then you hear another one, and another one, and they all talk about faith. That's all. What to believe? Believe in God's laws in this spiritual matter. So what do I do? I combine these problems with Bible verses and Bible stories, and then I summarize a sermon. First, set a topic. You will find that I talk about all the problems first, right? Whether I talk about stories, I always raise problems and propose solutions. This is my preaching style.

【Question】37: Teacher, my brain doesn't work well. I forget the important points immediately. I really want to remember.

Answer: Actually, the important points you hear are not important. The important points we apply are important. If we can't grasp the important points, we should practice grasping the important points first. If you can't remember even after practicing, write it down in a notebook. If you can't remember it once, write it down twice. If you can't remember it twice, write it down three times. If you can't remember it three times, write it down four times. You will always remember it. What's the problem? I tell you, you will never remember things that conflict with our inner value system. You will remember things that are consistent with your value system immediately. Think about it slowly. You can hear and understand things that fit your mind, right? You can't hear things that don't fit your mind. Why? Because they resist. So shaping a person is shaping their values. That's the point.

So sometimes I hear people say, Teacher, I can't remember. Oh, I understand, because it conflicts with what you can remember, so it is rejected. Are the things you can remember now correct? You should often ask. What can you remember? I ask you, can you remember how much money is in your account? You must remember it. If you say, Teacher, I can't remember, then you have dementia. Isn't it so? You don't need to remember it either. A lot of times I think, Teacher, I can't remember this, I can't remember that. You can remember a lot of things. You remember what you want to remember, and you don't remember what you don't want to remember. It conflicts with your own values. That's the point. If you want to remember it, stick it on the wall. How you remember your bank account password is how you remember the important points I teach you.

【Question】38: Teacher, I only have a few minutes of enthusiasm for learning something. How can I increase my interest in learning and persist in learning?

Answer: This question is also good. It's not interest, it's responsibility. Have you raised children? Do you have children? Teacher, I have no interest in raising children. The child is crying from hunger, and I don't care. Is there such a mother? No, there is no such mother. So we can't remember, but we always remember to feed the children. That's strange. She can't forget it. It's not an interest. Does everyone raise children because they are interested in raising children? Does anyone? After raising children, you will find that it's not an interest, it's a responsibility. Today, develop a sense of responsibility. Do you understand?

Develop a sense of responsibility. If you have a sense of responsibility, you will keep working on a problem until you solve it. So, I tell you, I don't usually follow my interests. I have no interest in eating, drinking, and having fun. Who likes to work? Liking to work is just fooling everyone. In the end, it's still a responsibility. Do you understand? Start with an attitude of solving problems. If my child has a fever, how do I solve it? You have to study it, observe it, right?

There are too many problems in our lives. For example, buying a house. Many people buy at the highest point, and then you are stuck for life. You easily get stuck for a million. Can you earn a few million in your life? Isn't your life like that, stuck? Who told you not to study it and just follow the crowd? Stupid. So don't have a few minutes of enthusiasm. Because we have no responsibility to solve problems. If you have children, you always have a sense of responsibility, right? If you are looking for a rich husband, you always have a sense of responsibility and will go to great lengths to find him.

【Question】39: Teacher, my desired career has time conflicts with the needs of my family. Should I prioritize my family?

Answer: There is a gap between what you want to do and what you can do, right? If we have these conditions, we will find something that meets these conditions to do. I think it's normal for everyone to have this problem. When we do something, we find that our conditions are not allowed. Let me say a little bit. My parents both worked, and my mother was also a party member. After work, party members study. They study until late, it's hard work. Later, what to do with five children? How to manage? Can they go to work? They did. What to do? The factory had a nursery for breastfeeding children. My mother wrapped the quilt, rode a bicycle to the nursery, put the child there, and went to work. When she got off work, she picked up the child.

I think there are many ways to solve our problems. There are also people who must work because the salary is high, so they hire a nanny for their children. This child is now 59 years old. It was decades ago. They entrusted the child to someone to help take care of them. In other words, we can't solve the problem today. We get stuck in that place and have to ask me which one to prioritize.

I think asking this question is a problem in itself. There are many ways to solve problems. Some people's children are over ten years old and still can't get away. They don't need to wipe their butts or change diapers. What are you doing? When the child comes back, they are too lazy to pay attention to you. They sit there and play on their phones, right? If you bother them, they get annoyed. Then you say, I can't, I have to watch the children. I don't know what you are watching. What are you watching? I think we have a lot of excuses, but no ability to solve problems. This itself is a problem that needs to be solved. Can we study it? I told you that you need to study the problem. It's not time to study whether you should do this career or that career. First, solve how I can solve the current problem. My parents had no problem raising five children. What's the problem with you raising one child?

【Question】40: Teacher, can you say a few more words? How to solve the problem of not having enthusiasm or motivation to do things?

Answer: That's a very good question. When you see people who are motivated and enthusiastic, and they are thriving, do you feel uncomfortable? Living without motivation or enthusiasm is just living, and the results are not good, right? Why do people lack motivation and enthusiasm? Let's solve this first, okay? I tell you, people don't live for enthusiasm or motivation, but for responsibility. Do you understand?

If you are in your twenties or thirties, and your parents are already in their fifties or sixties, then they will be in their seventies, and you will be in your thirties or forties. Don't you lack money? You must lack money. What do you lack? If you are relying on your parents, it must be very uncomfortable. What do we do? We lack a sense of responsibility. All along, I have never thought that enthusiasm is important, nor do I think that interest is important. I think responsibility is more important. You have to have a sense of responsibility for raising children, and you have to have a sense of responsibility for doing a job. You must develop into a responsible person. You must have responsibility.

For example, Abraham led two thousand people. Two thousand people have to eat, drink, and sleep. That's a lot of things. If you don't manage it well, you will starve. People have the responsibility to manage it well. Living means having a responsibility. Having a responsibility means having a responsibility not only to the parents above but also to the children below. People live to be faithful and good servants. You will have to give an account to God in the future. How will you give an account? At the time of accounting, you are a lazy and evil servant. What will you do when you are thrown there to gnash your teeth? Don't focus on interests or feelings. I feel this, I feel that, I feel hurt, I feel frustrated. Feelings are useless. Of course, when a person becomes a responsible person, I tell you that enthusiasm comes, interest comes, and feelings come. Is that the case?

Brothers and sisters, goodbye!
