Hearing this, my heart moved. Since brushing your teeth can be measured by time, many things in our work and life can also be quantified in this way!
Indeed, time is the fairest measure, and all love needs to be measured by time.
Gladwell put forward the law of 10000 hours in Alien: to become an expert in a certain field, you need at least 10000 hours of repeated deliberate practice.
10000 hour law is to stick to this little thing. Looking around, is there any famous person who has made outstanding achievements in a particular field and has not painstakingly paid time and energy day after day?
For example, Mozart, a musical prodigy, had practiced piano for more than 3,500 hours under the guidance of his father before his sixth birthday. By the time he wrote the ninth concerto at the age of 2 1, it was over 1 10,000 hours.
There is also American swimmer Phelps, who practiced for eight hours every day all the year round and persisted for five or six years before creating an Olympic miracle in which one person monopolized eight gold medals.
If you think these examples are too far away, let's take a look at the awesome people who are closer to us.
On this platform, there are many great god writers dormant, such as Peng Xiaoliu, Li Chop Chai, Qi and so on. No one has been deeply involved in the world for several years, writing hundreds of thousands of words, and gaining fans and countless praises. Before that, they had been reading and writing for many years, which had already exceeded 1000 hours.
Therefore, there is no natural genius, only diligent and persistent learners.
I believe many people have heard the story of bamboo. It took 4 years for Phyllostachys pubescens to grow 3 cm; Since the fifth year, it has grown wildly at a speed of 30cm every day, and it only took 6 weeks to grow to 15m.
In fact, in the previous four years, Phyllostachys pubescens was desperately taking root underground. The same is true of being a man and doing things. Don't worry about persistence without return. Life needs reserves, and hard work pays off.
However, in real life, how many people have not survived that 3 cm? Enthusiasm comes easily and goes quickly. Three minutes of heat is probably a common problem of modern people.
Self-proclaimed weight loss, ambitious registration work, went three times, and then threw the weight loss card aside in the blink of an eye; In the new year, many FLGs have been established, and we must read, write and publish books. Before we finished writing 65,438+0,000 words, our plan had been forgotten ... examples abound.
It should be noted that all love in the world needs to be measured by time. You don't have to have talent and professional training to do what you love. It is more of a state of mind. Breaking the routine, starting from scratch, persisting in paying, working hard again and again, and denying yourself again and again, it is possible to get self-renewal again and again, and the height of life will spiral upwards.
Love for one thing should be measured not only by long-term persistence in practice, but also by quick action focusing on the present.
There is a saying that "the best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now." As long as it is something you really like from the heart, it is not too late to do it from now on.
A few years ago, I interviewed my eldest brother Wang Luliang. In his early years, he went step by step, and every day he came home from the company with a fixed two-point line. Later, he felt that such a day was boring and wanted to quit his job and start a business.
Mr. Wang has always wanted to open a farm, grow organic vegetables and grain, open a bookstore, farm and study. But by that time, he was in his thirties. Is it a little late to resign?
Later, he thought about it. If he didn't start doing it, he might regret it in 10 years! Therefore, he resigned decisively and founded "Puxin Farm" with his wife and children.
Today, Brother Wang Lvliang's Puxin Farm is very colorful, attracting many tourists and investors to visit. Teacher Wang and Puxin Farm even boarded China 3 on the Tip of the Tongue, which was known by more people.
It's hard to imagine how many opportunities Mr. Wang will miss if he thinks it's too late to start a farm now. I often look through his circle of friends and look at his pictures of farmland, rice, weeding and sowing, and I deeply feel that the tree he planted five years ago has now given him such a huge return. How nice!
Cai Kangyong once said that when he was 15 years old, he found it difficult to swim, so he gave up. At the age of 65,438+08, the person he likes asks you to go swimming, so you have to say "I won't". 18 years old, found English difficult and gave up learning. At the age of 28, there is a great job that requires English, so you have to say "I can't".
Life is a one-way trip. If you choose to start, there is no turning back. There are so many beautiful scenery along the way, how many can you miss? Prepare earlier and act more for what you love, and don't wait until you are old to regret it.
Luo Zhenyu paid tribute to Jiang in his New Year speech "Friends of Time" on 20 18. Who is Jiang? Jiang is illiterate and has been doing hard work for most of his life.
At the age of 60, accompanied by her daughter, she began to learn to read, and then she got out of hand and began to write novels. At the age of 74, Jiang published her first book, and now she has become a legend in literary writing with an amazing output of one book a year.
"Don't be afraid to start late, what you are afraid of is that life is short. Young people are not afraid to start late. Don't be lazy. You can't learn real skills without hard work. " Jiang said so and did the same. Every day, except for four hours of sleep, she keeps writing. Not used to working at her desk, she writes with a fruit box on her lap. Every morning is her best time.
Today, Jiang can not only write, but also sing, play the piano and draw. She also tried to illustrate her first book, When in Chaos, When in Poverty.
An old man who has passed his twilight years is working hard to pursue what he loves, just like Kuafu's pursuit of distant dreams day after day. What reason do we young people have to give up easily?
The length of life is limited, and we can't change it, but we can broaden the width of life and enhance the height of life! It's never too late to start doing what you really want to do. When you are passionately immersed in what you love, when the width and height of your life are constantly expanding, you will gain a more three-dimensional and rich life!
The time of our generation is too fragmented, and the quiet years have become the panic of the years. Looking around, WeChat, Weibo, Tik Tok and Aauto are faster ... Time black holes on the Internet are devouring our energy anytime and anywhere.
Time is the fairest, with an average of 24 hours allocated to everyone; Everyone's day is cut into different forms. And the rest of the time, some people use it for recreation, and some people use it to accumulate strength.
Therefore, the way you use the remaining time will determine the height of your life.
In the last issue of Chinese Poetry Conference, a takeaway brother caught everyone's attention. He memorized the ancient poems by heart, defeated the gifted scholar of Peking University and won the title of No.1 scholar. His name is ray.
Since I happened to see a book "Poetry Must Read" in the bookstore in 2004, Lei suddenly turned into the rivers and lakes of poetry. Poetry is like a lamp, shining into his cramped and hurried life, and he feels that life is suddenly illuminated. He has been reading and reciting poems for more than ten years.
It is difficult for him to make a living, and the whole study time is a luxury. Therefore, every bit of time can't be wasted.
Leihai took a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" with him, waited for a red light for a minute or two, and quickly took it out to see his eyes; When the customer takes the meal, take it out and read a few words; When I came home from work, the boys in the dormitory were either brushing WeChat or playing Tik Tok, while Lei continued to read books and recite poems to recharge his batteries.
"Hobbies have nothing to do with occupation. No matter what I do, I always insist on my love, and I am willing to pay time and energy for it. Food is tasteless, I want to be happy, and I want to live a life without material things. " In the interview, Lei Hai said so.
In the face of Lei's wonderful performance in the program, the host Dong Qing couldn't help admiring, "I think all your travels and hardships in the wind and rain, and all your poems secretly hidden in that bookstore have bloomed extraordinary brilliance at this moment."
In fact, like us, he is a little person who runs around to fill his stomach, but he loves and insists a little more than you and me.
In this year's New Year's speech "Friends of Time", Luo Zhenyu put forward the concept of "mini-trend", which is about the individual's action strategy in the big environment.
Small trends have two characteristics:
First, it is small in size and not easy to detect.
Second, it didn't happen in my familiar field, but turned to me through a series of chain reactions.
Does this rule also apply to time management?
First, insist on doing one thing, and its effect is difficult to detect in a short time;
Second, everything is difficult at the beginning. We are not familiar with this field at first, but we will have more confidence in this matter through the chain reaction in the process of time management.
Therefore, all love in the world needs to be measured by time. As long as we are a long-term activist, as long as we learn to take root, act in time and make good use of debris time, we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Our future will eventually shine because of our persistence!
