Hello book friends, welcome to continue to be a guest in the reading circle of little book children, today we continue to talk about this book, control Xi, yesterday we said, to cultivate Xi in their own strengths. The author tells a story about Steve Martin, whose legendary life is worth savoring. In his childhood, he just wanted to be a good comedian, so with a tireless dedication, he began to hone his acting skills.
At first, his performance lasted only a minute or two, and the audience's enthusiasm was not enthusiastic. However, instead of being discouraged, he worked harder to hone his skills, and every day, every week, he worked hard, every minute, to get better.
Slowly, his performance hours increased, and the audience's interest grew. By the age of 19, he was already able to perform a 20-minute show.
After more than 20 years of tireless efforts, Martin finally gained recognition for his success, and he became a famous stand-up comedian. His performances attract nearly 20,000 spectators each time. Martin said that only by bravely facing fear can you shine your own light on the stage.
His experience tells us that only by sweat and perseverance can we usher in the dawn of success. Steve Martin has interpreted the true meaning of this sentence with his own efforts. In this world, there are people who can soar in the wind and waves like a petrel, while others can only fly low in the breeze. How so?After research, we have found that one of the most effective ways to motivate people to persevere and achieve their greatest desires over the long term is to use the appropriate level of difficulty as a criterion. Our brains, with their preference for challenges, like to try things that are slightly higher, and when the gap is too big, these things become boring. That's the Goldilocks rule: it's the Blonde Girl Rule to choose an opponent of your strength and fight with them to win or defeat to make the sport truly intoxicating. If the difficulty is too small, there is a lack of challenge;If the difficulty is too great, it will dampen self-confidence. Therefore, the Goldilocks Rule tells us that only by handling things within our ability can we inspire the greatest enthusiasm and positivity.
That's how Martin's comedic talent was inspired. He raises his creative level every year, but only adds 1-2 minutes each time. This "climbing" way of progress keeps him in a comfortable and moderately challenging state, so that he always maintains the motivation to work hard.
So, let's learn Xi blonde girl's rule, find an opponent of the same level, enjoy the fun of sports together, and reach the realm of selflessness. If the difficulty is too high, it can lead to frustration and lead to a loss of motivation;If the difficulty is too low, it will feel boring and lose interest. After a long period of research, the author clearly realized that in the process of gradually improving our own abilities, we need to try to get ourselves into a zone called the stretch zone. This range is about 4% higher than your current capacity, like you can run 5,000 meters now, then run another 200 meters, or you can read 20 pages a day now, and then half a year later, read another page. Only when this is the right level of difficulty can the potential be truly unleashed. Think of the author, a former baseball player, who points out that the difference between accomplished athletes and others is that they are willing to do things that others don't want to do. That is to say, those seemingly boring basic movements, such as repetition again and again, many children like to play basketball, but after entering the training of the professional team, they will soon lose interest, because every day is monotonous and boring basic training, which can easily wear out a child's enthusiasm. Even if you master a skill, you can get bored with Xi repetitive practice, because each Xi becomes more monotonous. But the biggest threat to success is not failure, but burnout. When we lose enthusiasm for a Xi, we tend to break away from our usual behavior patterns and start pursuing new stimuli. This means that a Xi that was once adhered to may be abandoned.
How do we stay focused when the goals we are pursuing become boring?This requires the blessing of external forces. It's like in a gym where a strict trainer pushes you and you, under his selfless supervision, will firmly complete the workout program. Another example is that in a team, the shouts of the coach and the enthusiasm of the teammates make it possible for us to stick to even the most boring movements. For myself, while writing has been my main job for a long time, I also get tired over time, and I think I need to take steps to combat this burnout.
The author once mentioned a professional basketball player who was a three-point shooter, and he said that they had fun playing against themselves in boring training. At the end of each day's practice, he had to shoot 20 three-pointers in a row to declare the end of the day's workout. For the average person, it's hard to imagine, but for the professional player, it's not that difficult. This story has taught me a lot that we need to find creative ways to fight burnout and give ourselves enough motivation and belief, just like that basketball player.
Overall, we can use accountability to combat burnout. When we know we have to complete a task, we focus more on it. If we can set ourselves some challenging goals like that three-point athlete, then we'll be more motivated to accomplish them. These challenging goals can be things we don't usually think about, or they can be our own little games, just to get ourselves interested, and we can make the burnout disappear for a while.
I believe that in our continuous exploration and attempts, we will be able to find a suitable way to combat burnout. As the ancients said, "My life has an end, and my knowledge has no end." "We will always have room to learn and Xi and grow, no matter where we are now, as long as we maintain a positive attitude, we can take on new challenges. Shooting ten three-pointers is just a piece of cake for ordinary people, but this character has to start with ten three-pointers and move towards it step by step.
Ten. II.X.
Five, twenty three-point forward. It's not easy, but it's malleable. In order to accomplish this final mission, he throws more than 200 balls a day, which requires more time and effort than others, training an average of one to two hours more per day than others.
For him, if it's just pitching, it's boring. But with the introduction of this playful game rule, his life instantly became colorful. That's the secret to fighting burnout, because there's no fun, we have to create it. And some companies are more ingenious, why are countless employees happy with 996?Because they know that there will be a free dinner at 7:30 and a free taxi after 9 pm. Think about it from another angle, if they squeeze the bus home, buy groceries, cook, wash dishes, and wash the dishes, it will be almost 9 o'clock in the evening when they get home. It's better to stay in the company for a while and feel comfortable.
For some single programmers, they will even take a shower at the company and go straight home to sleep. They basically only rent one bed in their room, and they choose to stay with the company on their days off and holidays. Xi is a double-edged sword. It can bring you obvious benefits, so that you can swim like a fish in water, so that you can steadily improve in the accumulation and enjoy continuous benefits. However, Xi also has its downsides, especially when it becomes a conditioned reflex for your daily operations, which can lead to your absent-mindedness and even cause you to have a stress response. You may even make mistakes, but you are indifferent.
Driving a car is an excellent example of this. In the beginning, we were always careful and followed the rules, fearing that the slightest negligence would cause accidents. However, as time goes by, we gradually develop the habit of Xi, ignoring those details, running red lights, playing **, drinking water, and even smoking. We've stopped seeing driving as something to be valued, but rather taking it for granted.
In fact, there are many things in life that are similar to this. They both pose a danger to people and limit their progress. We just develop Xi inertia and lack deliberate Xi, so we can't become real experts.
For example, we can be very good at dribbling and shooting, but we can't be professionals. We can be a great Peking Opera ticket holder, but it's impossible to perform on stage. This is the difference between Xi and mastery.
In life, we should always remind ourselves to develop good Xi habits and avoid falling into the trap of Xi. Only in this way can we continue to improve ourselves and move towards success. If you think you've got all the secrets to investing, you'll be able to do it in demo trading. However, you actually have a long way to go. Once you enter the real market, the psychological pressure is still huge. However, in order to be deliberate, Xi must establish an effective feedback mechanism. This requires you to set some quantifiable data metrics, just like the Los Angeles Lakers. Throughout the season, they will ask their players to improve 1% of key stats such as rebounds, points, assists, etc. There is even a CBE system that has been introduced to calculate the overall score to verify the growth of the players. When players see their stats, they naturally know how they can continue to improve and improve themselves. In fact, many businesses do the same. They set goals at the beginning of the year and provide real-time feedback on changes in tasks through corresponding monitoring metrics. For the economy, GDP and CPI are our targets, and every month there are changes in PMI and industrial value added to provide feedback. If the short-term data does not perform well, the policy must go further. Xi is not static, it needs to be fine-tuned rather than simply improved. If some actions have proven to be ineffective, they should be reversed in a timely manner. Time is precious, so don't waste too much time on useless things. In general, Xi has its pros and cons, it can bring convenience, but it can easily get us into a fixed mindset. So we have to adjust our Xi all the time, and some Xi may be beneficial to people at a certain time, but after a long time, it can become harmful. We should try to avoid relying too much on one identity or one particular Xi.
Taking finance as an example, in the past, it was a very good thing for people to take out loans to buy houses, but now the social situation has changed dramatically, and the original concept is no longer applicable. In the past, it was considered a good Xi practice for people to teach their children to find a stable job after graduation, but now, due to social development and changes in the job market, this Xi habit has become irrelevant. We need to keep innovating, maintain a dynamic attitude, keep up with market dynamics, and improve our competitiveness. An overly stable situation can easily lead to instability in the later stage. Therefore, we need to constantly adjust Xi according to trends.
Dear readers, that's all for this article. But let's make a brief summary. In fact, there are four key elements to developing a good Xi. First of all, it must look very prominent and make it easy to see at a glance. Second, it must have an engaging charm that arouses strong interest. In addition, it must be extremely simple and easy to use, and it does not require much thought and effort to be accepted by everyone. In the end, it has to be enjoyable and satisfying to be loved. If you can't do that, then you can gradually develop good Xi habits by creating interesting and interesting points that connect to your Xi habits, while constantly giving feedback and rewards. And for those bad Xi, we also have a way to solve it. First of all, we have to keep them out of our sight and make them lose their appeal. And then we have to keep adding obstacles to them, making them more and more difficult to achieve. Finally, we have to make them extremely offensive so that we can really change their behavior. In order to keep our Xi good, we also need to constantly improve and improve. The best way to do this is to start with a few simple Xi and gradually increase the difficulty. We also need to give ourselves the opportunity to make mistakes, and we can't expect to succeed the first time. However, the most important thing is that once we make a mistake, we must immediately return to our Xi habits in order to ensure that our Xi habits can be maintained in the long term. So, now, what good Xi habits do you want to develop, and what Xi bad habits do you want to end?Write it down on paper and follow the steps and elements we've covered to create a detailed Xi development plan. Let's start a new Xi next semester.
