Why people are different

In the sketch "Selling Abduction" performed by Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, Fan Wei has a thought-provoking sentence: "I wonder, why is the gap between two people who are also living together?"”

Why people are differentSince ancient times, people have thought differently, behaved differently, and experienced differently. So what determines the difference between people?For example, some people are smarter, have a more lively personality, have better conduct, are more handsome, or are more beautiful.

First of all, the subtle differences in physical or physiological structure will determine a person who is easy to ordinary people in some aspects, martial arts ** like to use words such as bone surprise to summarize, modern scientific Xi is used to genetic coding to express, physiological factors can affect whether a person can concentrate, the state of mind about something and the duration of enthusiasm and other performance. For example, for those young children who have not yet received intellectual and cultural education, a small number of children show the characteristics of child prodigies, and their understanding of certain knowledge or skills far exceeds that of their peers.

Second, some people believe that the reason for these differences in people is that people have different backgrounds, experiences, education, and Xi learning methods. In fact, this argument is also untenable, you can imagine that a welfare home adopted some homeless babies from the hospital at the same time, they grew up under the unified care of the welfare home, food, clothing, housing, and education are the same, why these children in terms of personality, ability, interests and specialties have been differentiated, and they have chosen a completely different life path after entering the society.

A person's intelligence, attention, judgment, memory and other abilities are by no means fixed, otherwise why do some people who showed amazing talents in childhood fade and become incompatible with this society when they grow up for various reasons? Wang Anshi's "Hurt Zhongyong" "Ignore everyone. "It's the best example. Einstein was slow to respond in early childhood and did not start speaking until after the age of 4, and was considered a "" by his school teachers, however, he only showed clumsy behavior in the preschool, and he still showed amazing abilities at a young age like most other great men between the ages of 5 and 15.

Psychiatrist Gilbert Gottlieb once said, "In the process of our development, genes and the environment are not only in a cooperative relationship with each other, but also need the help of the environment to function better." That is, if a person is put in bad circles and jobs, the environment in which he is placed will limit his genetic advantage. This is why all localities will strive to create a favorable business environment for foreign investors and entrepreneurs, and even set up institutions for follow-up and support.

In ancient times, some people performed well in their posts in the army, but when they came to the front line as generals, they would make some very stupid mistakes and lose their positions. In modern times, some people perform well as lecturers or live broadcasts, but starting a business in person will become a dark light in the industry.

Some people will be confused by the following sentence: excellent people will be excellent no matter what the circumstances. In fact, this is a story that I like to write in film and television scripts, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", the protagonist is an excellent banker, although he seems weak, he can get along in prison;and Jason Statham's "The Mechanic", too, where the protagonist can easily enter and exit the prison, quickly win the trust of the handlers inside, and get rid of each other.

In reality, it is the excellent people who actively choose those who can make them excellent to use their skills, rather than being able to fight back in any difficult environment, if we see some cases, it is just a phenomenon of survivor bias, and there are many eliminated people who have no chance to speak out at all.

Some scientists have learned that humans have more potential for lifelong Xi learning and brain development than we think. Everyone has their own unique, innate and inherited talents.

Scientific training and personal effort are the key to mastering a skill, but to reach the level of excellence, we must have enough enthusiasm and curiosity on this basis, as well as an optimistic attitude and perseverance, to lead us to a high enough level.
