Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 38 The inevitable chain of contempt
Xu Qingshan had no idea about the commotion in Class 1 centered around him.

The next day, Ye Xincheng heard his friends in Class 1 talking about this incident and told Xu Qingshan.

At this time, Xu Qingshan was resting at his seat.

"How could those guys say that about you?"

Ye Xincheng was very angry.

But in a school like Longjiang Experimental School where grades are the main focus, students will simply use academic performance as the criterion for being qualified to speak.

Xu Qingshan closed his eyes and rested. After listening to Ye Xincheng's story, his heart was calm.

"It's not a big deal."

“But they can’t look down on people like that!”

Seeing that Xu Qingshan remained indifferent, Ye Xincheng became even more anxious.

"Why don't you care? I am really like the eunuch who is anxious when the emperor is not anxious, ah, ah."

Ye Xincheng walked around Xu Qingshan's table.

"It is mediocrity not to be envied."

Xu Qingshan said calmly.

"They need to prove their ability by attacking me and denying me. That means they are in a hurry."

Xu Qingshan stretched leisurely, yawned, looked at Ye Xincheng with a relaxed smile, and motioned him to sit down.

"They are anxious, which means that they subconsciously expect my performance to reach a level they don't want to see."

"In that case, what is there to argue about?"

"You don't need to understand the other person's logic, nor do you need to consider self-proof or other-proof. Just be yourself, and those words are nothing but the jealousy of others."

Xu Qingshan crossed his hands and did finger exercises seriously to relax his knuckles which were a little sore from the crazy practice of questions these days.

"Whether I am envied or praised, it means that I am getting attention. The core of why I am getting attention is that my performance is outstanding enough in the group."

"So what's the rush?"

Xu Qingshan didn't say another sentence.

As long as the monthly exam results are out, what else does he need to say?

When I was a student, my ranking on the academic ranking list was the most powerful proof of my success.

He had already prepared himself mentally for this kind of thing to happen.

His rapid improvement in academic performance is bound to touch the psychological defenses of some of his classmates.

Just like the boys in Class 1, boys of this age are more immature and have the concept that "our class is our people".

When it's more exaggerated.

They may even feel uncomfortable when a girl in their class is dating a boy from another class. They may feel like they are being compared and belittled when a classmate in their class praises someone else.

This is a territorial consciousness that is overly self-conscious.

This is not uncommon.

What's more, innovative classes like Class 1 are often referred to as "Tsinghua and Peking University classes". Although they look humble and serious on weekdays, there is a small number of people who are still arrogant in their bones that their learning ability is much better than others.

It's not just Class 1 that has this problem.

1班看除1班、8班之外的班级是这样的，2班看1班、8班、9班之外的班级是这样的
When people are divided into different classes because of something, the emergence of an invisible chain of contempt will naturally occur.

Just like sometimes, you say in front of a 985 college student: "Hey, although 985 is very strong, in fact, if you are good enough in a second-tier university, you are no worse than the strong students in 985. Look at what kind of results so and so has achieved."

At this moment.

If you meet someone who is a little sensitive and has a slightly irritable temper, a quarrel with mutual ridicule is inevitable.

Because in the other party's core idea, you are trying to prove that a second-tier university is better than a 985 university with a negative attitude.

Although this logic sounds abstract.

But in fact, there are quite a few.

But sometimes, various topics will appear, such as "A first-class university is better than a 985 university" and "Those who are good at live streaming are actually no worse than celebrities".

In 2008, this kind of conflict might have been relatively new in reality. But more than a decade later, it has become a household name.

this society.

As long as there are circles, as long as there are quantitative standards or definitions of properties, there will never be no chain of contempt.

By then, this inevitable chain of contempt will have more subdivided and vertical types.

"Fine."

When Ye Xincheng saw Xu Qingshan's expression and heard what he said, he thought about it carefully and finally understood.

He himself was not a very violent person, he was just angry because his good friend was being criticized in such a way.

Even if he himself was criticized, he might not be so angry.

"Don't worry about that. By the way, have you tried the study method I briefly told you about? How did it feel?"

Xu Qingshan let go of his hand and asked.

Ye Xincheng sat next to Xu Qingshan and thought for a while.

"This time-based study method is quite effective, but I feel it is more suitable for self-study. We usually have to review and review papers in class, so it is not easy to split the time."

Ye Xincheng said truthfully.

The learning method they were talking about was the Tomato Learning Method that Xu Qingshan taught Ye Xincheng when he started doing exercises a few days ago.

The Pomodoro Technique was invented in 1992 by Italian scholar Francesco Cirillo after a lot of practical research.

This learning method became quite popular later and even spawned a large number of dedicated apps such as "Tomato Clock" and "Tomato Learning". However, in 2008, when mobile Internet was not yet well developed, not many people in China used it.

Not to mention in school.

Xu Qingshan later became a time management master in Shanghai. In order to improve efficiency and effectiveness and squeeze out as much time as possible to date the young ladies, he naturally also had a deep understanding of the Pomodoro Learning Technique.

Generally speaking.

One Pomodoro is 25 minutes of study + 5 minutes of rest. Every 4 Pomodoros make up a Pomodoro group. After completing a Pomodoro group, take a 15 to 30 minute break.

Such a time arrangement can effectively reduce anxiety during study, concentrate attention within the specified time frame, and allow the brain to better maintain a state of efficient learning.

However, Xu Qingshan did not completely use the 25+5 version of the learning method when doing the questions.

He also talked about it briefly when he was teaching Ye Xincheng.

“What kind of schedule do you use?”

"It's the basic version of 25+5 you mentioned."

Ye Xincheng answered as a matter of course.

"Didn't I tell you that 25+5 is just an appearance? The real Pomodoro Technique is actually a rhythm system derived from time cycles, which is designed to enable you to enter the flow state better, more easily and more autonomously, and grasp that feeling."

Xu Qingshan said.

"Time is not important. What's important is to use a sense of urgency to improve your learning efficiency. Setting a time is just to increase time sensitivity."

Xu Qingshan picked up the pen and began to choose the basic exercise book he would do next.

While continuing to talk to Ye Xincheng.

“First, set a goal and estimate your learning task to see how many Pomodoros you will need. Then, execute it and see how many you actually used. Then, check and find out why you didn’t make the right judgment. Finally, find the gap and correct it next time so that you can get into the state better and faster next time.”

"Moreover, this kind of task-oriented arrangement can give us a positive psychological feedback when we are learning."

Xu Qingshan casually flipped open the exercise book beside him and showed it to Ye Xincheng.

"Look, I record the time next to each question. If you flip through the pages, you'll find that I can complete more and more questions within the specified time, and my accuracy rate is getting higher and higher."

"Of course, I didn't ask you to take the test this way."

"This only applies to the next stage of our extensive practice."

Ye Xincheng flipped through the exercise book and heard Xu Qingshan say something jokingly beside him.

"When you are in the exam room, you are answering questions and suddenly you feel like, 'I still have a lot to write, but I need to take a break.' That would be bad."
