I particularly believe in the significance of hard work, but I am particularly disgusted by the fact that others always use hard work to talk to me about everything.

I stayed up late at night to review for an exam, but I failed, and they said I didn’t work hard. I stayed up all night writing a manuscript, but it didn’t get picked up, and they said I didn’t work hard.

It seems that everything in this world can be successful as long as you work hard.

Is this really the case? In this world, hard work really cannot accomplish everything.

Edison has a famous saying: "Genius is one percent inspiration, plus ninety-nine percent perspiration." Many people stop reading after reading this, and hype the meaning of hard work. , but there is also the second half of this sentence, "But the one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of the hard work."

This inspiration is the direction .

I have a friend who studied e-commerce. After graduation, he found a job as an editor. He got up early and worked late every day. He went crazy and couldn’t see anyone else for half a month. We all thought he loved his job so much. .

Suddenly one day he came to me and said he quit. I asked him why. He said that when he first started working, he felt that his editing skills were pretty good. When he really met those professional editors Great master, I realized that the gap is huge. You can’t even catch up with others in filming. Sometimes, even if you work hard for several days to edit a video, others will be better than you at the minute.

The boss asked him to work harder, but he felt that these gaps could not be made up by hard work, and he resigned without getting ahead.

It’s like running a marathon. If you run backwards and in the wrong direction, you can’t make up for it no matter how hard you try.

Later, a friend quickly started doing business through a local e-commerce platform. Not to mention successful, he bought a garage by himself at a young age. If he had not resigned at that time, he would probably still be obsessed with editing now.

Those who succeeded early will tell you the meaning of hard work. You believe it and work harder, but you always feel that it is different from what they said. They tell you that you just look like you are working hard, and others believe it, and so do you, but when you sit down and think about it carefully, you are wrong, I really worked hard.

Yes, you are really working hard, but you are also really running on another road.

For a while, I always felt that no one saw my official account because my method was wrong.

So I went to many platforms to ask questions, and they said, you have to learn to attract traffic, and learn to channel traffic on major platforms. Don’t be afraid of losing face, just go on there shamelessly. Then I really followed their methods and promoted it on major platforms, but there was no result.

Isn’t the method they said wrong? That's right, and it can even solve many problems of public accounts.

But when I calmed down, I realized that I was really wrong. My problem was that the article was not well written, and no matter how hard I tried to attract traffic, I could not solve the substantive problem.

Philosophically: "Analyze problems and solve problems." The problem is an external attribution. What is effort? Motivation is theoretically controlled and unstable internal attribution.

If success could be achieved through hard work, there would already be hundreds of millions of successful people in the world, which means that problems cannot be solved by hard work alone.

Many people like to make chicken soup and talk about hard work, as if hard work has become the trump card for solving problems. It is undeniable that hard work can make some people successful, but only some people.

If you are still in an unsuccessful period, you might as well consider external reasons and change directions.

If you are blindly persuaded to work hard blindly, you may hit the wall and die.
