Many people wonder, why are you smart but not successful? In fact, in this world, there is no distinction between human attributes. A truly capable person is not gifted, but intentional. Success is not just a difference in IQ.
As the saying goes: "If you don't forget for a long time, there will be repercussions."
When a person is careful enough in one thing, he will not be disappointed. Maybe time will give him more precipitation, but the final outcome will never let him down.
"Night Talk Around the Furnace" said that although students lack wisdom, they think things carefully, that is, they are capable.
Although talent is not smart enough, if you can think carefully and accurately everywhere, you are a capable person.
Smart people can't be smart in everything, and they won't be happy in everything. Sometimes they do bad things because they are smart. But a seemingly stupid person, if he can treat one thing with enough heart, will have a steady process, and everyone will be happy in the end.
Behind this seemingly confusing phenomenon, there are actually two mysteries hidden:
First, people's wisdom is often against the sky.
From a secular point of view, many people are particularly clever, but his cleverness is always self-righteous and even manipulative. Such intelligence is simply against the sky.
Therefore, wisdom considered in the secular world is not only difficult to achieve, but easy to do bad things.
Second, the "fool" is more practical and attentive.
The so-called wise man, his thinking is too jumping, it is difficult to spend time on one thing, but seemingly stupid people tend to be low-key and simple, and pay more attention to their own cultivation.
And they can often explain the process of accumulating hair, and every bit of accumulation will become the basis of his self-evident blockbuster.
Sean's ability to become a teacher of a generation of emperors is related to his talent, but more related to his spirit of being able to rest in peace.
Sean was born into a noble family in North Korea and received a good education since childhood. After the demise of Korea, he traveled around the world with Chu Jian in order to revitalize Korea.
He once went to "Huaiyang" to learn etiquette. What he studied was Zhou Li and the etiquette related to it. Through this purposeful and systematic study, he learned a lot.
The purpose of Sean's learning rites is threefold: first, to revive the ruined South Korea; second, to carry forward the declining aristocratic families; third, to find the people left behind by South Korea.
After studying the ceremony, Sean set off for the East and finally got to know Cang Haijun. At this time, on the one hand, he searched for someone who could assassinate the king of Qin, and on the other hand, he studied Taoism with Cang Haijun. He stayed here for 12 years. These Taoist accomplishments showed great value in Sean's later life.
Later, after the Qin campaign, Sean got a book called Su Shu, which finally opened his wisdom. Finally, under the leadership of Liu Bang, he gave full play to his ingenuity and eventually became the teacher of the emperor.
As the saying goes, even the wisest man is foolish, and many people who seem to be "not very smart and modest" in life tend to keep a low profile and pay more attention to self-cultivation to lay a solid foundation for themselves.
"So, if you don't accumulate, you can't take Wan Li Road; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. "
Rome was not built in a day to learn knowledge and create achievements, and it is definitely not a goal that can be achieved by a whim.
Sharpen your will like an alchemist, you can succeed only by repeated exercise, and those who are eager for success have no profound cultivation; Doing things is like using a crossbow. Aim at the target, move easily, and it is difficult to achieve great success.
Settle your mood, dormant to a certain extent, external achievements naturally appear.
Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, is famous for his running script and cursive script, and is also called "Two Kings" with his father Wang Xizhi.
When I was a child, learning calligraphy from my father was very talented, but I was often complacent. His mother said to him, "Write eighteen jars of water in the yard, and the words will be strong, with bones, flesh and blood."
Wang Xianzhi is not satisfied. He is very clever. After practicing for five years, he showed his father the written words.
Who knows that Wang Xizhi shook his head when he saw the word "big", smiled and added a little to the word "big" and became the word "dog".
Wang Xianzhi showed this calligraphy to his mother again. When her mother saw it, she said, "My son has worn out three tanks of water, but only one thing looks like Xi."
Hearing this, Wang Xianzhi sighed. Since then, he has worked hard to practice calligraphy, which has made a real leap.
Achievement cannot be achieved by intelligence. Some people are slow-witted, but they can still achieve great things by making up their mistakes and settling their mentality through diligence.
It is the real criterion to have a calm mind above the secular, to be careful and thorough enough about things, and to consolidate the foundation of life through bit by bit accumulation.
