Every night, my favorite moment is to look out of the window when I am tired of writing and find that all the lights outside the window are turned off. I looked out of the window quietly, and only the starlight shone with its own light. At this time, I knew I was close to success. Success is as simple as that, so if one day, you look out of the window and find that your own light is on and others' lights are off, then you are not far from success.
Success is really not too difficult. As long as you are willing to explore more, you will be close to success. When accepting every task, if you are willing to pay more than others, then you will certainly succeed.
Confucius studied hard all his life and especially liked the Book of Changes in his later years. The Book of Changes is difficult to read and learn, but Confucius is not afraid of suffering and reads it repeatedly until he understands it. Because paper was not invented in the era when Confucius lived, books were all written in bamboo slips or wooden slips, which were both stupid and heavy. Many bamboo slips are woven together with thongs to make a book. Because Confucius studied hard and often exhibited letters and bamboo slips, the pimp was broken three times. Later, people created? Bian Wei three wonders? This idiom is used to express the diligent and studious spirit of Confucius.

I recorded a passage like this: I often ask young people this question when they envy and admire genius. Do geniuses work hard? Here I want to emphasize the difference between two words: dealing with errands? With what? Hard work? . ?
This passage tells us that there is no real genius. Genius? Must be? Hard work? Result. A very stupid idea is that genius is born, and there are many people who hold this view. Even it is wrong to think that people with extraordinary talents don't need diligence and hard work. This idea has ruined many young people who can make a big difference.
I had the opportunity to get to know the painters of Lingnan School of Painting, and found that the past, present, Liang and Lingnan School of Painting were all famous after their sixties. In other words, before the age of 60, they are all studying and practicing silently. Without more than 40 years of tempering, I don't think there will be their signatures. Although I didn't analyze their growth process very carefully, in the process of contacting these famous painters, with my understanding of them bit by bit, I found that all talents will shine brilliantly after hard work.
Of course, I don't want to scare everyone. It seems that people need to be over 60 to have a chance of success. The life course of these painters tells us that no one succeeds by talent, and success only depends on hard work and dedication.

I remember a sentence by Professor Meng Erdong of Peking University very clearly: After sitting on the bench for ten years, the article is not empty. ? Maybe you will think that this life is too hard, but if you don't have the spirit of sitting on the bench for ten years, don't make a realistic evaluation of the difficulties in your work, and don't know that success comes from countless failures, and you need to work patiently for a long time, I'm afraid it's hard to make great achievements.
When answering the secret of success, Carnegie said this: There are special people who reach the peak in any profession. These people don't need sponsors. However, the problem is how to ensure their business. There are plenty of opportunities at the peak of every industry. Your question is how to get there. The answer is simple: a little more ability to run your business than the average person in your industry. If you surpass ordinary people a little, your success is guaranteed. The size of success is directly proportional to your ability and the degree of effort you have made beyond ordinary people.
