Some time ago, I read a push article about Tom Hiddleston on Ins, and after reading it halfway, I decided to turn to powder.
I didn't know Shakson before. The only impression of this face is Raytheon's younger brother Loki, who went to see the film for the heroine Natalie Portman.
You can open Shakson's resume and just say three things, which will make people admire:
1, speaks seven languages: 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.
3. During Raytheon's audition, Shakson gained 20 Jin in order to get the role of Raytheon. As a result, after looking in the mirror, he was told to hit Loki, and he lost 20 pounds silently.
Every understated description is a height that many people can't reach in their lifetime. After Aamir Hussain Khan and Eddie Peng Yuyan Rosa, another male god confirmed the old saying: Excellence is a habit.
I don't know if there is such a person around you who obviously thinks the base is too small. Obviously already outstanding, I still feel that there is too little cannon fodder. Work hard every day like a lack of money, and work hard like a debt. Every time I meet such a person, I can't help asking: Why?
A foreign friend, born and raised in the 1980s, is an American. I came to work in Beijing five years ago, studied in Harvard, Yale and Cambridge successively, and obtained a lawyer's license in the United States, Britain and Hong Kong. My Chinese is excellent. I just jumped to an international law firm at the beginning of the year and became the youngest partner with an annual salary of one million.
The real winner in life. But the day before yesterday, he actually told me that he was reading the textbooks for the judicial examination recently, and that he planned to study the law in China.
Several lawyer friends beside me cried with anger, and their jobs were at home. But you just can't stop excellent people from breaking into your territory.
Soon after he came to China, he began to learn Chinese. There is no problem in daily communication. He still insists on studying China culture, China history and China folk customs. He often asks me in silence. Why is the Forbidden City called the Forbidden City? Why are there no cats in the zodiac? Why is bragging called bragging and not bragging about sheep?
Friends who want to know, please take your time.
What I want to say is that I feel like a fake China with him. His favorite sentence is that the more he learns, the less he feels he knows.
A student of the ancient Greek philosopher Zhi Nuo once asked him, "Teacher, you are knowledgeable and know so many things. Why do you always doubt your answer?"
Zhi Nuo replied, "Man's knowledge is like a circle. Unknown outside the circle, known inside. The more you know, the bigger your circle will be. The greater the circumference of a circle, the greater the space you touch with the unknown. So, although I know more than you, I don't know more than you. "
I once heard a lecture from a senior investor. He talked for three hours about his successful experience, but ended with the following sentence: the longer you invest, the less you dare to invest.
Probably because of this, Buffett will only buy stocks of industries and companies he is familiar with, and even oppose stock speculation. He once said, "Sometimes I am too cautious, but I would rather be cautious 100 times than careless 1%. I didn't become the richest man in the world by speculating in stocks. "
The more excellent a person is, the more he can see his ignorance. So hesitation 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 they are invincible with little knowledge.
Fu Sheng mentioned in his cognitive trilogy that people have four cognitive realms: "If you don't know, you don't know", "If you know, you know" and "If you don't know, you don't know".
95% of the people are on the first floor.
However, whether you know yourself or not is the biggest difference between an excellent person and a mediocre person. How far a person can go depends on how far he knows.
So, when we ask why the better people work harder, maybe we should ask another question: Why don't we work harder?
Thinking you know everything is just the beginning of ignorance.
Sometimes, small achievements are more terrible than nothing.
Heard a true story. A small town girl born in 1990s likes reading and writing since she was a child. She began to publish articles in magazines in succession from high school, and later began to write WeChat official account's book, which soon became famous and earned some money. A company invited the girl to join and gave her a generous salary. She resolutely gave up the college entrance examination and went to the gold master.
I don't know what happened to this girl.
In recent years, the society has been debating whether it is useful to go to college. People who say it's useless can always give many examples to prove that they can succeed without going to college. From Bill Gates to Jobs, from Einstein to Edison, it seems that this university can better cultivate so-called successful people.
Ironically, those who succeed without reading pay more attention to education than anyone else. The more knowledgeable people are, the more they can see the gap and understand the importance of reading.
Huang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, famously said, "If you don't study for three days, your language is tasteless and disgusting." I especially agree with Zhou's interpretation of this passage. If you don't study for three days, you will feel ashamed and ashamed to talk to others.
This is what he called "the hobby of reading". Why can reading become the basic demand of some people? Probably because of this sense of shame.
People often ask me how to be a hard worker. I will ask them, what is it like not to work hard?
They usually say, no feeling.
I think this is the gap. A truly excellent person can't stop, because there is an ignorant panic in his heart. They always feel that knowledge is not enough.
Richard St. John once said in Success is a Continuous Journey that success is a cycle consisting of enthusiasm, work, concentration, promotion, inspiration, improvement, service and persistence. We achieve one goal after another round by round, not a straight line from a to B.
However, in life, most people eat money at the age of 40, and at the age of 30, they eat money at the age of 20.
I'm not saying that people must go ahead and climb the peak again and again. On the contrary, people should have a sense of crisis and a humble attitude. There are many things in this world that we don't know.
Descartes once said that people without knowledge always talk about others' ignorance, while people with knowledge always find their own ignorance.
So, why are the better people more diligent?
The answer may be simple. They see more things worth working for than we do.
