"Those executives are blind! Why can't I always reach my talents? 」
I comforted her a few words, sorted out my interview notes and waved goodbye to her. She changed five jobs a year after graduation and stayed in a training class for half a year, during which she changed jobs. Every day after work, she basically watches variety shows and plays mobile games.
It's hard for me to say bad things to girls. As soon as I opened my mouth, I cooked a bowl of hot chicken soup and said, "You are still young. As long as you work hard, time is the fairest, and time will prove everything. 」
I met by chance, and even never met again after the interview. I didn't tell her the truth was-
Most talents have not met, and most of them are talents.

As the old saying goes, "A swift horse is always there, but Bole is not always there".
Just like Zhang Ailing said, "Be famous while it's early", I wonder how many people have been misled by this old saying. They regard themselves as swift horses and always sigh: Why doesn't Bole appreciate me?
Bole people are not blind. You may not be a swift horse, but you are just a mule. Come out for a walk, miss stuffing and complain.
We often see people who seem to know everything and say a lot of things as if they know everything, but in fact everything is just half a bucket of water.
My friend told me about his roommate. His roommate claimed to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and said that the college exam was too easy. He likes to comment on pop writers and classic writers while watching others play the guitar. When people get there, it's like a chatterbox being opened. He's like an orator. Whoever refutes it becomes a debater.
As a result, when he talks about guitar, he can't even press the C chord, and he needs Baidu to write an 800-word article. He couldn't even answer the basic noun explanation in the exam, just by cheating.
Have you ever had a moment-
You think you have a gift in some way, so you look down on anyone and think you have found the direction and hobby of life. In fact, you didn't spend much time practicing. After reading too many examples of genius, you think you are very talented. When you meet a professional, you will undoubtedly crush it directly, but you are not convinced and say, "If I am a professional, I am better than him." 」
It's a pity that your major doesn't seem so good. What's even more frightening is that you still haven't worked hard for what you think you love, and you are still addicted to the fantasy of comforting yourself.
There is a famous chicken soup called "with the low efforts of most people, it is impossible to win talents." Let me add, turn chicken soup for the soul into arsenic for the soul. "If you fight for talents, you can't fight for a lifetime."
Practice dancing if you want to be a dancer, play the piano if you want to be a pianist, and write if you want to be a writer. Don't always say "I want to", just do it. Moreover, it is not three days to fish and two days to dry the net. You must persist day after day to become a running horse.

I said to the girl at the beginning of the article: "Time is the fairest, and it will prove everything. 」
This sentence is actually true, but it needs a premise-
What you did is not qualified.
I often see people who don't want to do something complain, "I don't like it because I can't do it well." If I do what I like, I will do it better than anyone else. " 」
When he is doing what he likes, when he encounters difficulties, he immediately flinches and scolds: "This society is so realistic that people don't pursue their dreams. 」
It's a pity that I didn't see how much he paid for his dream. In fact, he didn't even take the first step.
He finally summed up all the problems as follows: talent is not satisfied.
More than three years ago, I submitted more than a dozen articles a month, all of which were rejected. I looked at the published article and dismissed it: it was clearly not as good as mine. It must be that the editor doesn't know the goods. I haven't met any talents.
I looked back at my novel three years ago and couldn't bear to look straight.
In 20 13 years, after I wrote nearly 200,000 words, I published my first novel. I also signed a contract with a novel website and got the first payment in my life. I was ecstatic at that time. Later, the novels serialized on the website did not get good grades. I'm still thinking: I just wrote a small number, but it doesn't fit my talents.
Looking back now, my face is flushed, and the characters, plots and dialogues are so rough that I want to destroy them.
I finally understand that I am not incompetent, I need to learn a lot. Later, he systematically studied the theory of novel creation, analyzed several famous works and devoted himself to writing nearly one million words.
20 15 The editor of Beijing Evening News found me and asked me to open my first column in Beijing Evening News. In 20 16, the editors of four publishing houses approached me, and I signed a contract with one of the book companies to publish my first book soon.
I finally met the editors who appreciated me. It's not that I took the initiative to seek, but that I tried to get too many opportunities. Although I am confident enough now, I still feel so lucky that I still have a lot to learn.
Because I understand—
Most talents have not met, and most of them are talents.

We like to brag about our Excellence and listen to others flatter us. After a long time, we fall into the lie of self-deception and really think that we are very capable, talented and excellent.
This is like a scam that is not carefully woven, as warm as a quagmire and addictive. I'm covered in mud, and I don't know if I will suffocate.
How heavy is it? Take it out to dry. When people take lies seriously, they are ignorant, conceited and arrogant. After being hit in the face by reality again and again, they cried and grabbed the ground, crying at the top of their lungs, denouncing the cruelty of reality and the injustice of society, and turned into cynical and fanatical young people, blaming all their failures on the outside world.
Never reflect.
You only see yourself reading for an hour, but forget that you wasted a day. You only know that you have finished a task by staying up late, but you forget that you have been lying in bed for several days and only know how to sleep.
You are not so good, you have always been so ordinary, you only love to seek comfort and dare not accept your mediocre self. You just can't admit it. You have tried your best to find poisonous chicken soup, dig up stupid jokes and prove that you are not so mediocre. After reading this biography and listening to a legend, you will feel as different as the people in the biography and legend.
How long are you going to lie to yourself?
Most talents have not met, and most of them are talents. Don't lie to yourself. If you love your dreams enough and work hard enough, you are qualified to say that you are talented. By then, you will meet more than you think.
