"Environment and success" is an issue that people often think about and discuss. It is very important to have a correct understanding of this issue for one's own development and success.
There is no doubt that environment and success are closely related. A good environment, the so-called "favorable environment", has various conditions required for success, is conducive to a person's progress and growth, and is conducive to the cultivation of talents. On the contrary, a harsh environment, the so-called "adversity", restricts or even stifles people's efforts in study and career, which is not conducive to a person's progress and growth, and sometimes can even destroy a person. There are countless such examples at home and abroad. In order to produce more and faster talents, society and families must work hard to create and provide the best possible material and cultural conditions for the growth of talents. As far as a person is concerned, in order to realize the hope of becoming a talent, it is understandable to strive to choose a better environment for oneself. Nowadays, most teenagers are trying their best to enter famous or key schools, which is justifiable behavior. The reason why people are vying to enter is because the equipment, teachers and other environmental conditions of this type of school are superior to similar schools.
In short, the environment is indeed closely related to success, and the environment is indeed important to success. It can be said that without minimum environmental conditions, it is impossible to produce talents. This is a materialistic point of view. Failure to see this violates materialism. However, we cannot draw the conclusion that one will definitely become successful in good times, but will definitely not become successful in adverse circumstances (the overall conditions are not good, but there are still some favorable conditions). This understanding is also wrong. We must also look at this issue dialectically. In fact, aren’t there many such people? The family provides him with superior material conditions, the school provides him with a good learning environment, and society also provides various opportunities for success. However, because he played life and was unwilling to put in the work and sweat, he could only waste his time and accomplish nothing. Although some people are in a poor objective environment and are not blessed by nature, they can eventually succeed because they can hone their will and work hard in "adversity".
It can be seen that the objective environment does play an important role in talent development that cannot be ignored. But specifically for a person, if he wants to turn his hope of becoming a talent into reality, no matter what environment he is in, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on his own subjective efforts. If you are in "adversity" and don't work harder, you will certainly not be successful; even if you are in "good times" and you don't work hard, you will be unable to become successful. The famous mathematician Hua Luogeng said: "Each point of hard work equals one point of talent." This is a wise saying. Comrade Mao Zedong once said: "External factors are the conditions for change, internal factors are the basis for change, and external factors work through internal factors." This external factor refers to objective external conditions, that is, the environment; internal factors are subjective self-efforts. Without the subjective activation of internal factors, external factors will have no effect, and a person will not change from "not a talent" to a "talent".
So, if a person wants to achieve a career and become a talent, he must have lofty aspirations and perseverance to benefit mankind. He will never give up until he reaches his goal and never show weakness when encountering difficulties. Never shrink back when encountering obstacles, keep moving forward and pursue until you succeed. You must not blame others when you are slightly unsatisfied without looking for the subjective reasons. Generally speaking, our country is a "good situation" for people who want to become talented. However, because our country is still a developing country, there are many unsatisfactory things, and some of them cannot be changed in a short period of time. In view of this In reality, young people must focus on their subjective efforts after recognizing the dialectical relationship between environment and success.
"King Gaiwen was detained and performed "The Book of Changes"; Zhongnieu wrote "Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote "Li Sao"; Zuoqiu was blind, but he wrote "Guoyu"; Sun Tzu Binjiao, the Art of War Xiu Li; Bu Wei moved to Shu, "Lu Lan" was passed down from generation to generation; Han Fei was imprisoned in Qin, "Speaking of Difficulties" and "Lonely Anger"; three hundred poems in "Poetry" are mostly the actions of saints and sages who were in trouble. Despite adversity, he has made his name in the annals of history, and has been famous throughout the ages, and has accomplished extraordinary feats. The reason for this lies in his "aspiration to stay strong despite being poor, and not to fall into the clouds." "Fatigue" is the key to its success.
Just imagine, if they are weak-willed, let the environment dictate them, and give up on themselves, they may just "die under the roof" and become unknown! Although our environment is fundamentally different from that of these sages, their spirit of perseverance and determination to succeed will always be admired by us. I think that as long as we can inherit and carry forward their spirit in practical actions, we will all stand out and be worthy of this great era in which "the sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly."
