? Physical hard work cannot make up for mental laziness. -----Preface
I believe that people have major misunderstandings about hard work.
?You are working a job with a monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan. You take a single day off and often work overtime until 7 or 8 pm. You are indeed conscientious and hardworking, but your life has really gone beyond that. Is it better? After getting off work late at night, you said in your circle of friends, "Work hard until you can do nothing, fight until you are moved." Does this sound like a very positive statement? But except for you who were moved, your friends, your boss, and me, a passerby, were not moved (in fact, I get annoyed when I see this kind of chicken soup article). The job you are engaged in is a job with little technical content and no one respects you. As time goes by, your salary does not continue to improve, and neither does your ability and quality of life. There is nothing wrong with judging heroes by success or failure. The purpose of working is to make money (of course, when you really have money, you can say it is for hobbies), and your current job does not allow you to make money.
? So what’s the use of hard work? Laziness is precisely one of the driving forces behind the progress of human society. From ancient times to the present, the improvement of human productivity has been inseparable from laziness. For example, ape-men invented stone axes, which greatly improved cutting efficiency. What if these apes could endure the previous low efficiency? Then the stone ax would never have been invented. In the same way, the emergence of flying pigeons to send messages was because people could not tolerate the inefficiency of information transmission at inns. The emergence of telegraphs and telephones was a new revolution, and even later mobile phones and computers. Recall that when you were studying, there must have been classmates who studied very seriously and hard, but their grades were not good. Are these people not talented enough? No, more often than not, it’s because these people are simply pretending to study. They are just pretending, and they are not using their brains. Maybe they are staring at the textbook, but their minds have already flown to nowhere, and some People do nothing all day long, but their academic performance is still very good. Why? Because he is very focused when he is studying, he is using his brain, and he studies very efficiently, so he does not need to spend too much time.
?Academic performance is divided into four levels. 1. You love learning and love this subject. Interest is the best teacher, not for the pursuit of better results, which is not utilitarian. 2. I have no great interest in this subject. I just work hard to achieve good results and have clear goals. 3. As long as you can pass the exam, just muddle along. 4. Not loving learning, resisting fiercely, unable to learn at all, or just pretending to love learning. In the same way, the same is true for making money. The first class of people pursue knowledge, love and delve deeply into a certain industry. Money is just an add-on, something that comes naturally after being highly skilled. The second class of people improve themselves in order to make money, but they are not If you really love knowledge and this job, the ceiling of such a person will be very obvious, because his skills are not very good. The third-class people are like boiled frogs in warm water. They have no skills and slowly accept the hardship and poverty of life. This is also a proportion of the population. The vast majority of ordinary people, the fourth class, are completely self-destructive and have lost all hope in life, such as homeless people. I often say that if you really like money, then you should not always think about money, because what you should focus on is improving your skills.
?I once saw a certain boss pretending to be cool in a WeChat group. He said, "If you are very tired of making money, it means there is something wrong with you. Money comes from strong winds, and hard work is of no use." Of course, this sentence is mostly joking, but if you think about it carefully, making a lot of money is more about mental fatigue than the physical fatigue that most people recognize. This is also very different from what people understand as hard work. Maybe you lie down lazily. You are in bed, but you are still working hard because your brain is running at high speed at this moment.
? The above is that hard work cannot bring you a better life, but knowledge (skills) can, especially if you really love knowledge and are thirsty for knowledge, then your ability and The social level will rise to the first level. Can you please take a seat and see which class you are in? History books say that the difference between humans and apes is that humans can make tools. Doesn’t it mean that humans are good at using brain power to replace physical hard work?
There are only two choices in life.
1. Either you passively endure the hardships of life, that is, you work very hard physically, such as being engaged in a low-level job without technical content, or having to study because you cannot complete the work. For example, in your leisure time, you prefer to play games and watch live broadcasts or pay attention to scandals in the entertainment industry. You use this to numb yourself. Compared with planning for future happiness, you would rather spend the current second as you like... It's easy to become addicted if you do something repeatedly 20 times. If a person never has the habit of studying hard and just muddle along, he will eventually be unable to return. This pain will last for a long time and will gradually intensify (poverty in middle-aged and old age is the real pain) but not suddenly, just like boiling a frog in warm water. In fact, you have already got used to and accepted it, and your passion will eventually be exhausted, such as being single. Over time, you will get used to it. For example, poor people no longer expect to get rich in middle age. The older you get, the higher the cost of correction becomes and the lower the possibility of correction. This is the path most people choose, and this is also what the saying goes: think of a thousand paths at night, and wake up in the morning to take the same path.
2. Either you take the initiative to endure the pain of learning, that is, you will be very hard and cumbersome mentally, such as you practice a certain skill hard, such as you decide to change careers, such as you decide to look at a certain company before going to Come to an unattainable company for an interview, for example, if you make up your mind to lose weight... you muster up the courage to say goodbye to the past, you must make up your mind to change the status quo, you take the initiative to bear the pain of learning and change, you become capable, you become tough And be determined, your living situation will get better and better, and you will eventually become rich. This pain will be sudden and severe. You must have a strong will to not give up halfway, but after persisting for a period of time, you will be better physically and mentally. You'll get longer and deeper pleasure. This is also a path that few people will take.
?Lock yourself in a closed space, cut off all communication with the outside world, and study a certain piece of knowledge for more than three months. If a person cannot bear this level of hard work and loneliness, Then he will end up like most people, and will never have an excellent skill throughout his life.
Zhili. Of course, each of us will eventually find the way to make a living that suits us best. I often say the 28/20 rule. After all, the majority of people are not good at mental work. They can only do some simple basic jobs. I have no intention to blame these people. , after all, this is their own choice, and this group of people also contribute their own strength to the operation of this society. Compared with those who seek to benefit themselves at the expense of others, workers are extremely honorable. In modern society, as long as you work hard, your life will be well-off. But what I want to say is that if you have higher requirements for money and knowledge, and if you want to experience a better quality of life, then you can try to take the initiative to endure the pain of learning.
?The suffering of life can be paralyzed by fatigue and diverted by entertainment. In any case, as long as it is still alive, the walking dead can muddle along, and eventually become accustomed to it, which can be called passivation. The pain of learning is (of course you can also enjoy it), you must always maintain a keen thirst for knowledge, a clear cognition and abundant passion. This may be called sharpening.
?A person’s social level depends on two things. First, it depends on how much energy he can burst out when fighting against the status quo, because few people are the second generation of rich people, and few people’s lives are It will be smooth sailing, which requires you to have the courage and perseverance to change the status quo. Not many people are satisfied with the status quo, but most people slowly accept the status quo in the end. The second is how much desire they have for knowledge. Only when you are thirsty enough for knowledge can you have a skill, that is, you can do the work that no one else can do, and this is the foundation of your life.
?If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence, that’s all. ------Lu Xun.
