How to be a big fish

Every French soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack.——Napoléon I
Everyone in our era wants to be a great man. However, only a few people take actions. It’s the best time to change the current situation for you.
Following The Trail of Big Man.
About four years ago, I followed Luo Zhenyu and his official WeChat account LuoJiSiWei. I listen the voice of Luo every early morning, read the essay everyday, watch the video every week, and the lively speech every New Year’s Eve.
Then he created the GetIt, which is an App providing knowledge service. Everyday I learn the free knowledge news, and the columns, which is paid 199 RMB annually.
Paying Close Attention to The Views of Big Shots, Focusing on Their Articles And Books.
Dr. Wu Jun, a computer scientist, writes a column Letters from Silicon Valley for GetIt. I bought his column, his books Roads towards Universities, Civilizations and Enlightenments, and On Top of Tides. Furthermore, I followed his micro-blog account.
People who never stop improving themselves will have a bigger chance to meet the same companion.
Closing to The Big Fish.
Although we are not friends, I’m in the same WeChat group with Li Xiaolai, who is a figure among us. I wrote my comments in the column Roads towards Fortune Freedom everyday, while they are collected occasionally. On May 6th, I sat in the first row in the class in Shanghai. It was less 5 meters between Mr. Li and me.
To Be A Helpful Man for The Big Shot.
Li Jinma, a programmer, who produced the application Laidu.com, which is searching information from officalWeChat accounts, articals, and books.Finally, he was invited to join Li xiaolai’s team.
Take The Initiative Link to The Big Man.
Qin Jie created the event of 007 Mission. He not only wrote his comments for the column Roads towards Fortune Freedom everyday, but increased the member of event. Finally, Li Xiaolai added contacts with Qin Jie through the WeChat group initiatively.
Set Realistic Goals.
In any case, you should be warned that attempts to be a fat man through eating in one time are unlikely to succeed. Last April, I ran 6-7 kilometers everyday. My knee-joint began to ache soon. And then, I executed a plan in Codoon strictly. Four months later, I finished my first half-marathon.
Have Hopes in Your Heart.
Eventually, after trying today, we would be better tomorrow, in the hope of being a big fish. At the end of last February, I began reading English books, while finished eight books and a half until the end of the year. From this New Year’s day, I learned the lesson Using English Everyday. Preparing one essay one day, and listening the explanation about one hour in night.
Now, I don't fear the long English essay again, and have the courage to write them in English.
如何成为牛人
文：周学文
每一个法国士兵的背包里，都带着一个元帅的指挥棒。——拿破仑一世
人人都想成为牛人。然而，只有为数不多的人真正开始了行动。对你我来说，这是脱颖而出的最好时机。
追踪牛人的足迹。四五年前，我得知了罗振宇及他的微信公众号《罗辑思维》。从此，每天的60秒语音及一篇文章，每周一期的视频节目，最近两年的跨年演讲会，我一个都没有错过。去年，他与人联合创办了得到，我开始听免费的知识新闻，看付费的专栏文章。
学习牛人的言论，看牛人的文章、书籍。吴军博士是一个计算机科学家，曾任腾讯副总裁，当前Google中日韩文搜索算法的主要设计者，他著的《大学之路》、《浪潮之巅》、《文明之光》我都买了（暂未看完）。吴军老师在得到开设的专栏《硅谷来信》，是我每天必听（看）的专栏之一。
尽一切可能接近牛人。信息上接近，我加入到了李笑来所在的微信群，在他的得到专栏《通往财富自由之路》里持续留言，偶尔会被精选出来。物理上接近，5月6日，我参加了上海的线下课程，坐在第一排，距离笑来老师不到5米。
让自己成为一个对牛人有用的人。李金马是一个程序员，通过做笑来搜、来读，将笑来老师的书籍、公众号及其他文章整合起来，方便查询资料，被邀请加入李笑来老师的团队。
主动与牛人产生链接，持续地去做。覃杰发起“007行动・不写就出局”活动，持续在专栏《通往财富自由之路》留言，并通过公众号文章宣传，通过其他人向笑来老师转达自己的offer。前几天，李笑来老师在微信群里主动申请添加覃杰为微信好友。
给自己制定切合实际的期望值。一口气吃不了个胖子，切忌一开始用力过猛。去年4月份，每天跑步6-7公里，很快膝关节开始疼痛。后来，按照咕咚上的4个月半程马拉松训练计划，循序渐进，在9月初跑出了第一个半程马拉松。
对自己充满希望。相信明天的自己，可以通过今天的努力变得更好。去年2月底开始阅读英文原版书，截止去年底共读8本半。今年元旦开始学习“天天用英语”，每天预习1篇文章，听1个小时讲解。现在，我已经不再惧怕长篇英文文章了，也敢于写出自己的英文文章了。
通过持续跑步、专栏留言、写文章、学英语，在一些网友眼中，我也成了“牛人”。但我知道，我还差得远呢。不过，我已经走在前进的路上了。你呢，愿意一起来吗？
