We must learn to wait. We don't remember which famous person said this sentence. Ambition is half patience, success is half waiting.
Let's look at the long river of history. A successful person, or a person who makes a difference in his career, must first have ambition and great talent (that is, wisdom and talent, that is, ability).
All ambitious and talented people have to go through it? Patience Two words? Endure? It is to endure the unbearable pain of ordinary people, the difficulties and obstacles in academic and career development and innovation, all the bumps on the road to success in life, the ups and downs of life and the arrogance of the world. ? Perseverance is a person's spiritual strength and a bridge to success? .
? Resist It is tolerance, patience and endurance. First of all, tolerate loneliness and keep calm. Calm is far-reaching and wise, so as to keep a clear head and always be innovative and orderly. More importantly, endurance means perseverance, continuous efforts, setting lofty goals and doing ordinary and concrete things in order to succeed on the road of life.
But? Patience Not to be outdone, only? Patience No perseverance, no struggle, no spirit of striving for first class, then, this? Patience Meaningless. ? Patience Always be ambitious and work hard for the grand goals you set in life! ? Only those who stand up in adversity or pain will surely succeed in life? .
Like a seed in a farmland, not buried? Patience , there will never be a day (soil); Like Jinsong on the precipice, only by being baptized by wind and rain, frost and snow, and lightning can we always maintain our majestic posture and stand tall in the sky; Like Haiyan, you can always flap your wings in the stormy waves and try your best to hone yourself before you can go straight for nine days; Like what? Patience Long night, there will be dawn; Like a mother who was pregnant in October, only? Patience Only by living in the pain before death can a new life be born; Like the former Soviet writer ostrovsky? Patience With the great pain of physical paralysis and blindness, he unswervingly created the masterpiece How Steel was Tempered. Like the great German musician Beethoven? Patience With inaudible pain, he overcame the great difficulty of inaudible music creation with tenacious perseverance, and created more than 0/00 world-famous songs such as Symphony Hero and Destiny. If you like Han Xin, you won't be humiliated? Patience In the future, I won't have a chance to be the king of the three qi. If I can't bear it, I will make great plans. Like Gou Jian, the King of Yue, there is no such thing as eating in worship? Patience , won't there be? Can the 3,000 Yue family swallow Wu? Historical achievements; Just like a fierce snake, when attacking the target, it first has a contraction and bending action, which is more powerful and accurate; Like high jumpers and long jumpers, in order to jump higher and farther, they retreat a little at a certain distance; No? Tread on iron shoes? Bitter? Patience , won't there be? It doesn't take much effort to get here? ; No experience? Heavy mountains and heavy waters? Risk? Patience , won't there be? A bright future? Rescue. This requires people to have lofty goals and ambitions, and? Patience All the pain on the way forward, work hard! Only in this way can we achieve our lofty goals and have a brilliant future. Will you realize half your ambition? Patience .
In fact, we should understand that half of success is waiting.
We must find out such a thing. Every successful person in the world, or a great cause or even a small success, has gone through many hardships, made a hundredfold effort and persevered? Wait? .
But it also includes the power of opportunity. However, opportunities are not waiting, but people need to find and grasp them effectively.
Madame Curie said? Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared? . It also includes the combination of lofty goals and hard work, rather than sitting still and enjoying the joy of success. More importantly, on the road to lofty goals, through unremitting efforts and struggle, we can reach the glorious stronghold of lofty goals.
Like Kuafu, the goal is to catch up with the sun. He gets up early every day and always runs in the direction of the sun, determined to touch God. Just like Gong Yu moving mountains, the goal is to move the two mountains in front of the door. Every day, digging mountains finally touched God and moved the two mountains in front of the door.
As long as we have lofty goals and keep working hard? Wait? And then one day. We will also touch God. This god is not others, nor is he an immortal emperor. This God is ourselves. The beautiful and brilliant future of our life needs us to walk step by step to reach it. ? Will you be half successful? Wait? .
? Wait? Just like a bud that has experienced a cold winter, it will bloom unexpectedly when the spring breeze comes only when it has been bred in a cold and cool winter; Just like the grass covering the earth, when the severe winter comes, it becomes yellow and dry, and even completely burned by wildfire, but the grass is not discouraged, but takes its roots deeper, saves its strength and fights against the cold. Wait? The arrival of spring? They grew taller in the spring breeze? ; ? Wait? Just like it? Wait? After the storm, there will be a rainbow in the sky of Wan Li; ? Wait? It is also a realm of life and a comprehensive embodiment of people's ability to do things; ? Wait? More like sailing against the current, the boat needs a lot of effort to paddle every step forward. If you don't need to paddle, the ship will definitely retreat and stay at the same level forever. ? Wait? By the same token, while waiting patiently, only unswerving efforts will advance.
Like what? The inventor of the telephone, British scientist Bell, changed the intermittent current used by Rice device into continuous direct current on the basis of the invention of the telephone by scientist Rice, which solved the problem of short and changeable voice. Then screw a screw on the rice cooker into it for half a turn, only 5 meters, and the telephone was born? .
? This is Bedo's patience, more waiting, and finally success. Les just lost a little patience, waited a little, and finally gave up halfway, missed success and regretted it for life. Is it? A dime, a thousand miles? . This is only five meters short? . This is only 5 meters from success, and often only 5 meters? Wait? . This requires people not only to have lofty goals and ambitions, but also to persevere on the road to success? Patience Perseverance? Wait? In order to reach the successful stronghold of ambition. What is half the battle? Wait? .
If you don't work hard, who are you to complain that you don't work hard? How can you talk about success? Why didn't the youngest professor of Huake, who has been hotly debated on the Internet recently, suffer? When you feel that you are working hard, look at people who are working harder; When you feel that your fate is unfair and your boss is mean, do you surpass your competitors in all aspects? If not, there must be room for improvement.
Recently, an awesome piece of news from my alma mater has aroused widespread concern and is highly praised by many young schoolmates. The 28-year-old alumnus of Huake University was awarded the position of Professor of Wood and Soil Engineering at Hunan University. When he graduated at the age of 24, he went to the United States to study for a doctorate. After graduating in three years, I went to Mobil to be a senior engineer. Later, he returned to China as a youth of the National Thousand Talents Program and achieved this remarkable result. Generally speaking, young professors in top20 universities in China are generally 35 years old, and many university teachers over 40 have only the title of associate professor. Although the achievement of this alumnus is directly related to his top academic papers published in the United States, his strength depends on his undergraduate accumulation and consistent spirit of struggle.
He himself wrote in his diary:? I owe my achievements in college to my efforts. Now I can say with great certainty that I spend more time studying and thinking than 99% of my classmates. ? Go to the study room at 7: 00 every morning, and often leave the study room at night 10, even on weekends. Are there many students like Huake? As far as my personal experience is concerned, this is a very common phenomenon, and it is also the style of study of South China University of Technology that I am proud of as a backward alumnus! If business elites, scientific research experts and academic masters from all walks of life can uphold this spirit of struggle, China will certainly develop sustainably like Germany, and will not eventually slow down or even stagnate because of the hollowing out of the real economy.
Combining with a series of Wall Street movies I saw yesterday, it is also a reflection, guidance and spur for me to talk about my feelings here. Successful people must have the same factors, the most important of which must be diligence and hard work; You shouldn't complain if you don't work hard enough. Even if your fate, luck (or karma) is not good enough, if you work hard enough, you will certainly gain something. Moreover, anyone who is unlucky can have the fighting spirit of this 28-year-old alumnus, and your gains in wealth, status and all aspects will not be bad! When you feel that you are working hard, look at people who are working harder; When you feel that your fate is unfair and your boss is mean, do you surpass your competitors in all aspects? If not, there must be room for improvement.
1. Planning is more important than hard work.
With the same efforts, the possible results are quite different. Some people study hard and finally find a very ordinary job. Conversely, as described in yesterday's movie, a 23-year-old undergraduate can get an annual salary of $250,000 in an investment bank. Besides luck, planning is also very important. Like myself, I consider myself a lucky person. In Huake, less than 3% of those who have learned less than 10 hours by themselves in four years. More than 70% of college students have at least 10 hours of self-study time every week. On the one hand, it is a professional problem, on the other hand, it is a problem of learning attitude. Fortunately, the job I am looking for, in terms of income and long-term career development, should rank among the top 3% of thousands of people who graduated that year. This has a lot to do with personal planning and direction choice. If you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will inevitably be in vain to some extent. This is also the purpose that I often persuade my colleagues around me, hoping to provide more internship opportunities for my brothers and sisters and set up internship alliances and other plans.
Don't think that you have worked hard.
Since the previous projects were basically cooperation with foreign investment banks, I will gradually feel that I am not doing well. As described in the movie, when I graduated at the age of 23, my annual salary was $250,000, and I worked for $65,438+2.5 million in 2000. As the highest migrant workers, company bosses often earn more than 1 100 million dollars. Is it true?/You don't say. As far as I know, our investment banking clients in Hong Kong, fresh graduates, are lucky, and their projects will be listed soon, with an annual income of not less than 200,000 US dollars. In this environment, although I am poor, I will inevitably feel that the top 500 consulting companies are all floating clouds. But on the other hand, how can I complain? Others are top universities in the world, undergraduate and high schools are top, and they are just ordinary first-class universities in China; Other people's English listening, speaking, reading and writing is the same as that of Americans, but their own reports are often laughed at by law firms; Others work at least 14 hours a day, 7 days a week and at least 100 hours a week. Occasionally, I will feel tired if I don't stop working overtime for a month. Others risk working overtime today and leaving tomorrow, but they often get calls from headhunters to consider where to be more stable. Although people in investment banks also have many shortcomings, such as complete ignorance of the industry, unclear thinking and taking it for granted, it is undeniable that their background strength, hard-working spirit and ability to withstand pressure are the best! Any young people who are still complaining, if you can make full use of spare time and wasted time at work like them, I want to get an annual salary of more than 200 thousand at the age of 25, which is absolutely easy!
The question is, how many people, like me, complain without reflecting on whether they are working hard enough? How many people spend most of their leisure time doing? Watching TV, watching soap operas, brushing Weibo information, shopping for luxury goods at a discount, spending the afternoon on Taobao, and more boys playing online games all night. To tell the truth, everyone is very tired, and it is also very tired to play games and watch TV dramas without sleeping. It also consumes brain power and physical strength, but it has achieved completely different results. We haven't worked hard enough. What can we complain about?
3. Cherish your blessing.
Beyond efforts and planning, there are indeed incredible decisive factors, which can be called luck, opportunity, probabilistic events and so on, but no one can explain the principle of this factor because it is supernatural. As a person who advocates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, I firmly believe that this is what our ancestors said since ancient times. Mr. Chen Lang, a senior numerologist in Hong Kong, is a lifelong consultant of Li Ka-shing and a feng shui consultant of a large number of Hong Kong tycoons. When he talked about the wealth of Li Ka-shing in his early years, his treasury was overflowing, and the future wealth was infinite. Even so, until today, Mr. Li Ka-shing has worked more than 8 hours a day and insisted on reading at least 1-2 books a week. How many young people read nutrition books above 10 all the year round? I admit, I didn't. How many young people spend at least 5 hours a week learning professional knowledge and learning English, regardless of their studies? I admit, I didn't. So, I can't complain about what I got today. In the movie, there is a 28-year-old doctor majoring in electric propulsion at MIT. It was he who discovered the model loopholes that no one in the whole company found, which triggered the subprime mortgage crisis. A financial analyst who has worked for 20 years spent several weeks without finding the loophole, but the doctor of missile science at MIT found it within a few hours. Is this a coincidence? This is professional knowledge. The more interesting plot in the film is that when these young people reported the problem to the leader, the leader said he didn't understand. Because you don't learn, because the higher you go, the more degraded your professional ability is.
Of course, there are many so-called rich second generation and official second generation in this world. Of course, some of these lucky young people are excellent, but there are also many black sheep. Some people say that this is reincarnation technology, but it can also be summarized as luck and good luck. No matter how great the blessing is, I also believe what the Buddha said. All the blessings in the world are leaking and will be used up one day. ? The Buddha once gave his disciples an example:? Look at the beggars on the roadside and the nobles sitting on elephants, who are covered with garlands and gold. Their fate in the next life is just an exchange. ?
Luck won't last forever! People who are lucky all their lives usually have the necessary factors for a successful person.
Please keep a cool head and dream upward. I watched the special program "Oriental Live Room" of Oriental TV before, and saw the fact that a middle-aged graduate student from a rural area returned to the countryside to farm because he could not find a job.
Recently, I read a media survey report: among more than 3,000 interviewees, about 75% think that family background determines a person's career development to a great extent, while only nearly 30% agree that struggle can change life. This means that only three out of ten people realize the significance of struggle and believe that struggle can keep them away from their parents' life trajectory, thus achieving better social status and career development than their parents.
This is a sad survey result. While we advocate changing fate with knowledge and struggle, many people still find that reality is so difficult to change and so powerless, and it gives people such disappointment and helplessness.
This social status, career development? Heredity is the embodiment of social stratum solidification. The current social stratum differentiation and solidification in China is gradually drawing a stagnant picture. The circulation channel from the lower class to the upper class is increasingly narrow, and the second generation is poor? Turn it upside down? Rich second generation? Dreams become out of reach and extremely difficult to realize.
Education, the only choice to change fate, has fallen into a trough in promoting social mobility. When the society is constantly questioning the education system, it is gradually found that the current education system in China can no longer bear the children of poor families, the dream of Yuelongmen, and poverty? Something hereditary that has become quite helpless. This kind? Inheriting it is not only from the moment we graduate from university and step into society, but also from the moment we enter universities, high schools and even kindergartens. Hereditary I began to go hand in hand.
The strong have occupied rich resources from the beginning, thus leading all the way, while the weak have to make countless efforts, perhaps to compete with the innate strong? Sit down and have coffee together? .
I remember Yang Dongping, an educator. When investigating the fairness of higher education in China, the conclusion is that the proportion of rural students in key universities in China has been declining since the 1960s. This conclusion means that the relationship between a person's birth and education level is getting closer and closer, and it is more and more difficult for a person's fate to be changed through education.
This is a universal reality that more and more people can feel, and all levels of society are calling for educational equity. However, when the determination and slogan are so bright, the reality is still disappointing. Some time ago, someone mentioned the Macheng desk incident, which reflected the great difference between urban and rural education. These situations not only appear in rural and urban marginal groups, but also suffer from unfair education.
The recent dispute over the conditions of college entrance examination for children living in different places has exposed the inequality of treating students differently in household registration. As a group that has contributed to the development of the city for many years, it is extremely unreasonable that their children are blocked from the college entrance examination because of hukou, whether their parents have stable jobs and so on, and even their qualifications for taking the college entrance examination are in jeopardy.
For a long time, we have been struggling with educational equity. For the complicated situation, some people may expect a radical change, which can make everything beautiful and smooth at once. This is a fairy tale.
Even Qian Liqun, a famous humanist and expert on Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren, devoted himself to the reform of basic education. Repeated battles and defeats? He also believes that the essence of education is subtle, and the reform of education should keep up with it? Slow and endless? And the principle of long-term struggle. It will be a protracted war to promote education equity, and then smooth and broaden the channels for the lower class to flow to the upper class. In this battle, the most sad thing is not the time spent, but the crushing of many expectations and the disillusionment of dreams in this process. Just like the data mentioned at the beginning, only a few of the ten peers firmly believe in the importance of struggle and the possibility of realizing their dreams.
In fact, the most terrible place in reality is the broken dream. If you give in, you will always have to give in to the so-called? Fate? 、? Born? These things. Many people who have not inherited wealth and status from their parents are faced with a heavy reality and a distant future.
For these people, changing their destiny means moving forward with heavy burdens. On the way forward, dreams should not be the weight of shoulders, but the wings that help you fly. It can alleviate the pain of reality and let you see the meaning of struggle.
In short, in any case, please keep a cool head and dream upward when carrying heavy loads.
The above are three selected inspirational essays that I carefully arranged and recommended to you. I hope you like them.
