Sticky.
Push yourself.
it is a habit to be excellent!
The better people learn, the more they feel that they know less. The better the person, the more he can see his ignorance.
Really good people can't stop because there is a panic of ignorance deep in their hearts. For knowledge, they never feel that they are not enough.
Some time ago, I read the previous post on Ins about Tom Hiddleston, and I turned to fans after only half of it.
Before that, I didn't know Dou Sen. The only impression of this face was that Thor's brother Rocky was the villain. The movie was directed at the heroine Natalie Portman. You can turn to Dousen's resume, and just say three things, which makes people admire them:
Seven languages spoken: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Latin and Greek.
I gave up Oxford and went to Cambridge because I quarreled with my parents and wanted to stay away from them.
During the audition of "Thor", in order to get the role of Thor, Dousen deliberately gained 20 pounds. After looking through the lens, he was told to play Loki, and he silently lost the 20 pounds.
Every understatement is a height that many people may not reach in their lifetime. After Amir Khan and Peng Yuyan, another male god confirmed the old saying: Excellence is a habit.
I don't know if there is such a kind of person around you, you have already picked one out of a hundred, and you still think the base is too small. Obviously already outstanding, still feel that there is too little cannon fodder. Every day as diligent as lack of money, as hard as debt. Whenever I meet such a person, I can't help but ask: Why?
A foreign friend, born in the 1980s, a native American, came to Beijing to work five years ago. He read it at Harvard, Yale, and Cambridge. The lawyer's license in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. He speaks first-class Chinese. He just moved to Beijing at the beginning of the year. An international law firm became the youngest partner with an annual salary of one million.
A proper winner in life. But the day before yesterday, he actually told me that he was reading the textbook of the judicial examination recently and said he planned to study Chinese law.
Several lawyer friends next to him almost cried, and their job was grabbed at the door of the house. But you just can't stop good people from breaking into your territory.
Not long after he came to China, he started to learn Chinese. There is no problem with daily communication. He still doesn't give up. He has to learn Chinese culture, Chinese history and Chinese folk customs. He often asks me in a daze. Why is the Forbidden City called the Forbidden City? Why is there no cat in the Chinese zodiac? Why is it called bragging but not bragging?
Friends who want to know, please save yourself.
What I want to say is that with him, I feel like a fake Chinese. One of his favorite words is that the more you learn, the more you feel that you know less.
A student of the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno once asked him: "Teacher, you are so knowledgeable and know so much, why do you often doubt your answers?"
Zeno replied: "Human knowledge is like a circle. The outside of the circle is unknown, and the inside of the circle is known. The more you know, the bigger your circle will be. The larger the circumference of the circle, As a result, you have more space to contact the unknown. Therefore, although I know more than you, I don’t know more than you."
Once heard a lecture by a senior investor, he eloquently talked about three hours of successful experience, but ended with this sentence: The longer you invest, the less you dare to invest.
Probably because of this, Buffett will only buy stocks in industries and companies he is familiar with, and even oppose stocks. He once said: "Sometimes I am too cautious, but I would rather be a hundred times cautious than 1% careless. I am not the richest man in the world by trading stocks."
The better the person, the more he can see his ignorance . As a result, hesitating and awe became a natural reaction, but it was this mentality that made them not want to stop exploring. On the contrary, mediocre people often feel that the world is invincible without knowing it.
Fu Sheng mentioned in the Cognitive Trilogy that people have four cognitive states : "I don't know I don't know", "Know I don't know", "Know I know" and "I don't know I know".
95% of people are on the first floor.
However, whether it is self-knowledge or ignorance is the biggest difference between the good and the mediocre. How far a person can go depends on how far he knows how far he has gone.
Therefore, when we ask why the better people work harder, perhaps we should ask another question: why we no longer work hard.
Thinking that you know everything is just the beginning of ignorance.
Sometimes, a small achievement is more terrible than nothing.
Heard a true story. A girl from a small town born in the 1990s, who liked reading and writing since she was a child, began to publish articles in magazines one after another since she was in high school, and then she began to write official accounts and publish books, and she quickly became famous and made some money. A company invited this girl to join and gave her a good salary. She resolutely gave up the college entrance examination and went to the gold master.
I don't know what happened to this girl.
Over the years, society has been arguing whether it is useful to go to university. Those who say it is useless can always cite many examples to prove that they can succeed without going to university. From Bill Gates to Jobs, from Einstein to Edison, the university of society seems to be more capable of cultivating so-called successful people.
The irony is that those who have succeeded without reading books value education more than anyone else. The more knowledgeable people, the more they can see the gap, and the more they understand the importance of reading.
Song Dynasty poet Huang Gushan famously said: “If you don’t read for three days, you will feel your language is tasteless and your face is hateful. ” Zhou Guoping’s interpretation of this passage, I particularly agree with you. If you don’t read for three days, you will feel ashamed and ashamed of others. Speaking, I feel shameless to see people.
This is what he calls "the hobby of reading". Why can reading become a basic need for some people? Probably because of this feeling of shame.
People often ask me how I can become a hard worker. I will ask them, what do you feel about not working hard?
They usually say, no feeling.
I think this is the gap. Really good people can't stop because there is a panic of ignorance deep in their hearts. For knowledge, they never feel that they are not enough.
Richard St. John said in "Success is a Continuous Journey" that success is a cycle consisting of passion, work, focus, advancement, inspiration, improvement, service and persistence. A goal, not a straight line from A to B.
However, in life, most people eat their 30-year-old fund at the age of 40 and their 20-year-old fund at the age of 30.
I'm not saying that people need to go forward bravely and climb the peak again and again. It means that people must have a sense of crisis and a humble state of mind. There are still many things we don't know about this world.
Descartes once said that people without knowledge always talk about the ignorance of others, but people with rich knowledge always find their own ignorance.
So, why do better people work harder?
The answer may be simple. They can see more worthy efforts than we do.
