Genius is the ability to play a role. Waste talents are talents who have not been brought into play, but they are different from congenital idiots.
Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat. This shows the importance of diligence-if you don't work hard, you will become a waste.
But you can't be a genius without inspiration, so it's important to learn to find inspiration. The author believes that there are many factors that determine inspiration, and the key is the environment. I summarize the following points:
1 communicate with talents in nearby or online professional groups, which can inspire you;
Meditate or take a step in the room.
When walking outdoors.
4 when reading
When watching a documentary.
Association, imagination and criticism can stimulate people's inspiration. There are often diligent people, but not many people are inspired, so it is very important to find ways to get inspiration. This is the skill and methodology of philosophy, so all the talented people we see have a deep philosophical foundation.
In addition to diligence and skill, there is a more important factor, that is, emotional intelligence, which contains two meanings: one is the ability to adjust others' emotions, that is, communicative competence; The second is the ability to adjust emotions, whether you can make yourself strong, not afraid of failure and indomitable, that is, willpower. This requires your own ambition and firm goals.
Gifted children, precocious children, that is, advanced placement students, may not be able to become geniuses or make a difference, because they lack goals and ideals and end in mediocrity.
To sum up, diligence+inspiration+skills+firm ideals+will, with the requirements, will become a genius, and vice versa!
