Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
Wen Xia Miku (rich book columnist).
Some time ago, the story of "The Strongest Counterattack King" Zhou Xinjing swept the whole network.
Zhou Xinjing was born on a poor island in Zhejiang Province and studied vocational high school after graduating from junior high school.
If there is no accident, this may be the ceiling of his academic qualifications, but he worked hard to get into Zhejiang University, and finally obtained a doctorate from MIT.
As soon as the news came out, the whole network was hotly discussed.
Some netizens incarnated as lemon essence, isn't he just a good talent for reading, what's the big deal?
Some netizens believe that talent is important, but his counterattack is inseparable from personal efforts.
These two voices correspond to different ways of thinking: fixed mindset and growth mindset.
People with fixed thinking believe that human abilities are innate and difficult to change.
Growth minders, on the other hand, believe that competencies are acquired.
Carol Dweck, author of "Lifelong Growth", once said: It is not talent that determines the difference between people, but the mode of thinking.
The way a person thinks determines how far he can go.
In the face of challenges, the mediocre set their own limits, and the masters broke the boundaries
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was asked by his boss to develop a game when he was working at a game company in his early years.
Jobs invited his good friend Wads to join him.
When Woz learned that there were only 4 days to go, he retreated: how could this be done?
At that time, Woz was still working at Pratt & Whitney during the day, leaving him not much time to develop games.
Not to mention, in the 70s, it was impossible to develop a game in 4 days;Even today, 4 days may not be able to do a good job.
But Jobs encouraged Watts that we must believe in ourselves, and we can definitely do it.
So, Wads worked all night with Steve Jobs while working on game designs while working during the day, eating a quick snack after work.
In this way, Jobs and Watts did not meet their eyes much for 4 days, and completed a task that others did not dare to imagine.
I like a saying: all mediocrity is the result of self-imposed limitations.
When you dare to break through the limits, you will find that the heavens and the earth are infinite.
The same is true for Zhou Xinjing.
When he first entered Zhejiang University as a graduate student, he consulted with his classmates about studying for a Ph.D. at CMU, one of the top four universities in the United States for computer science.
When his classmates learned of his idea, they persuaded him to give up, because the threshold for CMU was too high, and even if he applied, he might not be successful.
But Zhou Xinjing felt that although it was very difficult, how could she know if she didn't try it. He devotes all his time and energy to studying databases and computer systemsWith this perseverance, he was eventually admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Motivational speaker Les Brown said: There is no limit to life, unless you set it yourself.
I think so. Many times, it is not the external conditions that hinder a person's growth, but the high walls built within him.
Once the mind is limited, the ability is locked.
On the road to growth, it is not scary to encounter challenges. What's really scary is that you're setting limits on yourself when faced with challenges.
Those invisible psychological cages can stifle a person's potential and constrain one's development.
Only by daring to try can we break the boundary.
In the face of obstacles, the mediocre lose their armor, and the masters become more and more courageous
A psychologist once did an experiment.
He placed a hungry crocodile and a small fish at the opposite ends of the same tank, separated by a transparent baffle.
The crocodile jerks at the small fish, but is bounced off by the transparent baffle;It tried several more times, and all failed.
After a while, the psychologist took the baffle.
The crocodile stopped attacking the small fish, it gave up struggling and trying, and eventually starved to death.
In life, many people, like crocodiles, have the intention of retreating when they encounter resistance.
Success often belongs to those who grit their teeth and persevere.
is like the lawyer Li Mujia in the TV series "All the Way to the Sun".
Once, Li Mujia was entrusted by a client to collect debts from the debtor Tang Hu.
Tang Hu ran away as soon as he saw her.
Li Mujia squatted at the gate of Tang Hu's factory every day. finally guarded the person, and before he could say a word, the other party drove away.
Even so, Li Mujia vowed not to give up.
Tang Hu couldn't resist her, and asked her: Girl, how much money can you make by facilitating this order?
Then, he changed his voice and said: You tell me how much money you can make, I will give you the money, please go.
If you had to change to someone else, you might just give up.
Li Mujia is not giving up.
When she learned that Tang Hu was unable to repay his debts, she actually assisted Tang Hu in participating in the bidding and giving him advice.
With the assistance of Li Mujia, Tang Hu finally won the project and agreed to pay back the money.
Did you find out?A truly strong person can grit his teeth and move forward even if there are many difficulties ahead.
The same is true for Zhou Xinjing.
During his graduate studies, he was inspired by an article and thought of a new idea.
If you can get the author's source**, it will greatly save scientific research time.
But the author refused to provide it, and he only went on his own head.
*After the submission, the reviewers made a lot of harsh suggestions.
Zhou Xinjing herself does not have the conditions for improvement.
Someone advised him to switch to another family, but Zhou Xinjing didn't listen.
He looked for an opportunity to go to Ali to Xi, and used Ali's office conditions to complete scientific research, and finally successfully published.
In fact, no one in life is smooth sailing.
Some people are slumped in the face of setbacks, put themselves in place, and do nothing all their lives;
And excellent people, even if they fail, can become more and more defeated, so as to force themselves and find ways to overcome difficulties.
The mediocre loses their armor, and the master becomes more and more courageous.
The mark of a person's success is not the height of standing at the top, but the power of falling to the bottom.
In the face of failure, the mediocre attributed outward, and the master attributed inward
Do you have anyone like this around you?
If you lose the game, you blame that pig teammate;
The project was not signed, and the company was too high;
The performance is not satisfactory, and the quality of customers is too poor......
In their logic: I'm not wrong, it's someone else's fault.
This phenomenon is known in psychology as "".Self-interest biasAscribe the good results to yourself and the bad results to the outside world.
Self-interest bias prevents us from looking at facts rationally and looking at ourselves objectively.
The writer Li Shanglong has a friend who often blames colleagues, scolds leaders, and denounces the times.
At first, Li Shanglong listened to him pour bitter water, thinking that he dared to speak out and had real courage.
But after a long time, Li Shanglong couldn't stand it and asked him: Since you are not satisfied with your current situation, have you ever thought about changing the environment?
He explained: I don't have the ability!I don't have any money!It's not that this society has caused me to have no savings!
The more incompetent people are, the more they like to find reasons from others.
They complain, but they never examine themselves.
As everyone knows, finding the reason for everything from oneself is the beginning of a person's progress.
There is a salesman who is responsible for marketing the company's soaps. In the beginning, he worked very hard;But I don't know why, the performance has never been able to do it, and the orders are pitiful.
He was very puzzled, so he systematically reviewed from the product, ** to the speech.
After analysis, he believes that the quality of the product is no problem, and the real root of the problem is precisely in himself.
He studied his own speech skills and worked hard to improve his communication skills.
Once the product is not sold, I reflect, am I not doing a good job?Isn't the rhetoric unconvincing?
Sometimes, he even asks clients to give him suggestions and then improve them.
It is precisely by relying on the attitude of perennial self-reflection and continuous improvement that his performance is getting better and better, and he has risen all the way in the workplace.
This person is Mr. Little, the president of Colgate.
So you see, no one is born awesome. Just,The mediocre are attributed outward, and the master is attributed inward.
The more awesome people are, the better they are at finding reasons from themselves.
They are often able to compare themselves, be good at discovering their own problems and shortcomings, and constantly improve and improve.
Plato said: A person who does not have the ability to introspect will not be a successful person.
A person who does not know how to introspect, the harder he works, the more mediocre he becomes.
When you start to find reasons in yourself and reflect on your shortcomings, you can make progress.
Wang Wei, the founder of SF, once said: A person's success once may be accidental, but if he can succeed for a long time, he must have his own uniqueness, and may be different from others in terms of thinking and behavior.
Thinking determines behavior, and behavior determines results.
What determines how far a person can go is never talent or intelligence, but the way of thinking.
The way you think determines the height of your life.
Life is an infinite game, don't let your way of thinking imprison your future.
Let's change the way we think and have a bright future.
