It's not that you have the ability and hard work to succeed.
Thinking that ability plus hard work can lead to success is a little hope and comfort for people who have nothing, this is not the whole truth, the real world is much crueler than this.
In order to be successful, many elements are needed, and specific problems need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. However, there are some common elements that are needed for success, and in addition to ability and effort, there are also factors that affect success:
1.Starting point. Others are one step away from success, you are 10,000 steps away from success, how can you compare at this time?How good are you?Your desperate efforts can't make up for this huge gap, not to mention that others are not worse than you, and they work as hard as you.
Is the difference in the starting point fair?
It's so unfair from a personal point of view, why should someone else have a mine at home and I don't have anything?From a long-term perspective, someone else's mine may have been earned through generations of hard work, and is the result of the benefits enjoyed by his generation.
There is a sentence that sounds cruel, but it is difficult to refute, why do you think that your ten years of cold window are worth my three generations of business?
2.Resource. You have nothing to rely on, and you can only rely on your own efforts to do things.
People who have the resources to do the same thing, in addition to working hard, can also manage the connections, funds, power, etc. they have.
If you break your leg, others may only need one**.
The noble person you worship may be someone else's guest.
The financial pressure that you see as a mountain may just be someone else's daily consumption.
Just ask you how to compare?
3.Method. In order to succeed, there are methods and internal logic required to succeed, and following these does not mean that success will be guaranteed, but the probability of success will be greatly increased.
Success, for example, is cumulative. Continue to work towards a goal, accumulate progress.
For example, success requires a win-win mindset. Success cannot only rely on yourself, you must bring success to others, and others can help you succeed.
There are many more, but I can only briefly mention them here.
If you don't have these thoughts and master these methods, I am afraid that it will be the opposite of success, and you will be full of complaints, thinking that the world has failed to live up to your abilities and efforts.
