Tolstoy did not win the first Nobel Prize for a reason

　　 Another year of Nobel Prize award season has passed. Recalling that when the Nobel Prize was first established and awarded, Leo Tolstoy, the Russian literary giant, was still alive. At that time, his literary achievements had already been widely recognized by the world, but he did not win the award.

　　 The Swedish inventor Nobel died in 1896, and the first literary prize was awarded in 1901. During this period of time, the selection of winners in Sweden has been going on.

　　 Finally, in December 1901, among a motley crew of candidates, the French poet Sully Prudhomme won. This caused controversy, and famous writers Strindberg and Lagerloff (the latter won the 1909 Nobel Prize for Literature) and 43 other writers and artists signed a letter to Tolstoy expressing their support.

　　 The Swedish Academy was often embarrassed when it first started awarding the prize because Nobel's will limited the "literary prize" to "the most eminent work of idealistic tendencies". Prudhomme's award, this point has also been particularly emphasized. In addition, there is a restriction in the will that the bonus should be allocated to "those who have bestowed the greatest benefit on mankind in the previous year", which also excludes writers who have created important works before.

　　 These two restrictions made many celebrities in the world literary world lose the election. Tolstoy may have been finally excluded by these two restrictions, although he himself did not particularly care about them. He replied to letters from his supporters: "I am very glad that the Nobel Prize was not awarded to me... It would be difficult for me to have this prize, which in my opinion is no different from other money that can only produce evil." The view on money was consistent in Tolstoy's later years.

　　 Later, the Nobel Prize in Literature revised these two restrictions. The time has been relaxed, and the concept of "idealistic tendency" is now interpreted in a broad sense, based more on its spirit than on its words.

Moroccan football team: "The most familiar stranger"

　　When I was still in college ten years ago, I led a sightseeing group of more than 30 Moroccan students. Before meeting them, my general impression of the Moroccans was that they are from North Africa but closer to the Arab world. They have religious beliefs, are used to worship, and are inextricably linked with France. 　　When I saw the real person, I realized that the North Africans in front of me were actually a group of children playing with each other and having fun in time. They were about the same age as me at the time. I have all kinds of nicknames and nicknames. During the process of taking them to Badaling, the Summer Palace and Houhai, two classmates and I, together with more than 30 Moroccan students, realized "cultural integration" and "world unity" in the small group to some extent. 　　During the World Cup in Qatar, I was surprised to find that the little-known Morocco team, which was eliminated in the group stage of the last World Cup, after miraculou

Zeigarnik effect

　　As a freelancer, you have to fight procrastination every day. "I've made up my mind many times, but I just can't change it. Is it because I'm slow or slow?". In fact, many procrastinations are irrational. Many obstructions are imagined by myself. So distract, postpone, avoid confrontation. It's cool to procrastinate, and it's cool to procrastinate all the time, so I can't do it. Concentration is also related to physical strength. When the physical strength is exhausted, it is even more difficult to concentrate. You’ll tell yourself: I’m too tired to do this—okay, another perfect procrastination. 　　In 1927, Bruma Zeigarnik's senior research found that people are more likely to care about unfinished and interrupted work than completed work. This is the Zeigarnik effect. For example, we often don't care much about what we have got, but we will especially cherish what we have worked hard but haven't got. Therefore, the TV series will tell you
