That's the mood.
Open the book, read a few pages in this one and a few pages in that one. I can't read any more.
Finally, I opened a book called Persistence. Angela Duckworth, a former teacher and psychologist at McKinsey, has won many outstanding awards, including a genius award.
However, she is not a natural genius. His father always said, "You know, you are not a genius."
At this time, I am hesitant to join the "talent certification".
Should I join?
My views on feelings can be applied to the emotional field. Tell you some stories and have some dry goods.
Many people call me "the voice kissed by an angel", so it's no problem to apply for dubbing.
Usually like to make handmade products, fight Lego, and it is not bad to apply for craftsmen.
I'm always a little sad every day, so it shouldn't be a problem to like writing prose, poetry and literature.
I like to keep fit and strike while the iron is hot. Under the guidance of the coaching profession, it is also good to apply for a fitness expert.
I like dancing, and it's easy to make some dancing videos.
Suddenly there are so many choices. Suddenly I feel that I have dabbled in a lot of insights.
But there is also the biggest problem here, that is, you can only choose one.
This means that I can't do this today and that tomorrow. I have to concentrate on one thing. One more question. Although it covers a wide range, every understanding is not outstanding.
In the words of China people, they know a little about everything. Half a bucket of water, but none of them are proficient.
Only then did I understand that all roads lead to Rome. Even if you do the smallest thing, as long as you do it well, you will certainly achieve something.
Now back to the book "Perseverance".
The author has been studying what influenced elites in different fields and what contributed to their success. Is it a gift? Is it because they are born with excellent genes that ordinary people can't touch, or because of other factors?
Angela's father always reminds her and other brothers and sisters, "You know, you are not a genius." Obviously, what her father said was right, but it didn't stop Angela from becoming an outstanding psychologist.
The United States Military Academy at West Point enrolls many students every year. They must pass many tests before they can stay.
Are the last people left behind those with excellent grades and excellent ability at the initial evaluation?
Surprisingly, the answer is no, on the contrary, excellent people give up earlier.
The author of "You didn't lose, but your self-control is not strong" once asked, "In the United States, there are countless young people engaged in basketball, and many talented children have been playing since childhood. Everyone dreams of entering the NBA, becoming a superstar and living a life of wind and rain. But why are only a few people such as Kobe, larry bird and Michael Jordan the real winners? " ? The author's answer is self-control.
Every morning at 4: 30, Kobe has been practicing.
Why didn't the talented students at West Point stay? Who was the last to stay? The answer given by the author is: people with determination.
At the same time, both authors mentioned the words "talent" and "success", and the person who finally has innate advantages is not necessarily the person who finally succeeds.
This shows that it doesn't really matter whether a talented person succeeds or not. If we insist on the theory of talent, then we are denying other more important qualities of people.
I have always had a similar myth.
From time to time, I hear people say "You are a talented person" and "You are very literary". Even my neighbors and sisters (returnees, schoolmasters, international certified public accountants) were amazed at what I wrote when I was a child. She couldn't believe I wrote it. Although I think this is their beautiful compliment to me. If I really have talent, why didn't I succeed? If I don't succeed, does that mean I have no talent?
Consider applying for talents.
I suddenly feel that I am a person with great potential. Because I have a wide range of hobbies, I can play anything, which means a wider choice. And many things seem to come easily and effortlessly.
I asked others to write novels with me, and they shirked that "writing novels requires talent", which was their reason for refusing. They always ask me, "Is this what you have experienced?" ? I always answer, "No, it's all my imagination and inspiration."
But? As Angela said, if I really have a gift, it doesn't matter much.
I often ask myself a question, if I have no talent for writing, why do I insist on writing? On the other hand, I like writing and expressing myself so much that I can't stop.
I prayed to God more than once, "God, if this is not what you want me to do, please remove the idea of writing from my life forever!" " "However, there is always a voice in my heart reminding me," Write, write! "I've always wanted a" reason to keep doing this ".
Angela pointed out that we are addicted to the theory of genius because of our inner narcissism-if we fail because of our lack of talent, then all of us will become relaxed. We no longer have to complain, reflect and work hard.
Thanks to the author for putting forward that "perseverance" plays a decisive role in a person's success, and also thanks to the author, Nietzsche has solved the myth that I have been persistent.
Whether I have talent or not, this is no reason for me to give up writing.
Stick to it, there must be results!
