I saw a true story today, there is a man in the United States, his academic performance in high school was very poor, but he likes to do **, he spent several years studying the ** on the tubing, and then he kept trying to do ** posted on it.
He posted an average of one ** every 11 days, and insisted on doing it for ten years. There were almost no views for the first 3 years, only a few views from the 4th year, and then it kept growing, and by the tenth year, his best ** ** had more than 100 million views, and he also had a ** empire with hundreds of millions of subscribers, worth more than 100 million US dollars.
His early works were mostly mediocre, even terrible, and if he had given up on himself, he would not have achieved great things in the future.
In fact, no one cares about you at all except yourself, people will only remember your fame, and your failures, others will not pay attention to them at all.
Others won't care about your failures as much as you do, and you can always try a few more times.
If you want to be successful, you must do what you really like, because if you don't really like something, you can't last for ten years.
Do what you like, let alone stick to it for ten years, it's no problem for a lifetime, because doing what you love is enjoyment for you.
Like a thing, you can't just stay in the liking stage, but should study and research deeply, let yourself become a professional level, become an expert, what you are not good at is a fake like, really like a thing, how can you not be good at it, how can you not become an expert?
You say you like to sing, but you never dare to sing, and you don't sing well, it's all fake like.
If you really like to sing, you will be like Zhu Zhiwen, you can sing in farming, raise pigs, not afraid of being embarrassed, not afraid of other people's eyes, not afraid of other people's sarcasm, not afraid of failure, like a madman, obsessed with it, this is what I really like. If you're afraid of this, you're afraid of that, it's all fake likes.
In fact, the reason for wanting to do one thing is very simple: choose one thing you really like, and then go all out to devote yourself to it, study and work for more than ten hours a day, and persist for ten years, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Some people say that ten years is too long, in fact, even if you do nothing, ten years will pass quickly, and most people still don't make any progress after ten years.
The reason is very simple, the difficult thing is implementation, most people can't do it, and they can't hold on for so long.
I can't hold on for so long, in fact, the essence is not enough to like it, and it is obvious that the liking for this matter can't resist the entertainment, the lazy, and the pessimistic.
Everyone wants to get the same thing, but they don't want to pay the corresponding price, in the end, everyone just likes to get something for nothing.
But the world is conserved in energy, and everything and everything has a price, and if you don't pay the corresponding price, you can't get such a thing, and you can't do it.
The so-called genius, from another point of view, is someone who gives more than everyone else in a certain field he likes.
No one can succeed casually, and behind any successful person is the silent efforts of years of no one.
Moreover, any successful person is a very energetic person.
I know a writer who has been writing on the Internet for more than ten years, every day, writing seven or eight thousand words a day, without a single day of interruption. Needless to say, talent, with this energy, this level of diligence, can already beat 99More than 99% of the people.
Before, when I saw a very successful person, I would think, what a beautiful person this person is!
Now, when I see a very successful person, I think, what a price must have been paid behind this person
All the people who are more successful than us have suffered what we can't bear, they have resisted what we can't resist, and they have given up and we can't give up enjoyment.
Someone gets up every morning you can't get up, someone finishes every book you can't read, someone learns every skill you can't learn, and someone continues to persevere every moment you give up.
Anyone who is better than you has more behind you than you pay;Just like any general in ancient times who was higher than yours had more scars on his body than you. There is no shortcut to success, and success is all spelled out with a knife.
Recently, I saw a 10% goal law, that is, no matter what you do, try ten times before you say it, if you only have a 10% success rate when you do something, then you will basically succeed once in ten attempts, and you have surpassed most people.
In fact, most people are reluctant to try even once, making it harder for them to try than to ascend to the sky, and they find many excuses to give up before they try.
We have been doing traffic money-making projects recently, and each project is done with many accounts at the same time, operating for many days, releasing a lot of works, and then looking at the effect.
Through doing projects, I understand a truth: quantity can produce quality, and quantity produces miracles.
If you only use one account to test the project, then even if you put your mind to it, you will basically not see the effect, and the success rate can be said to be very slim. But if you test with dozens of numbers at the same time, your success rate will increase by dozens of times, plus the dimension of time, the success rate will be dozens of times higher, and you can basically find some accounts with particularly good data.
Success is sometimes luck, but a few more attempts, equal to a few more draws, your success rate will be much greater, which is why the harder the person is, the luckier he is.
Today I finished reading a book "1000 Iron Fans: The Underlying Logic of Building a Personal Brand", 1000 Iron Fans This idea was first put forward by Kevin Kelly, he said that if a person has 1000 Iron Fans, he can support himself, the so-called Iron Fans, that is, no matter what you sell, they buy people, people who believe in you and follow you brainlessly.
This book is actually not worth reading, it is completely a parallel import, and the only valuable point of this book is the title, and the point of view is still proposed by Kevin Kelly.
In fact, when I read the recommendation order, I felt unappetizing, the recommendation order was written by Bei Chen, a self-proclaimed brand consultant of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and the whole article was bragging. Who likes to brag?Incompetent people like to brag. People who are really powerful are very modest, and the more people who are in the water, the more they like to brag.
If you think about it, let a parallel importer write a recommendation preface for himself, which shows that these two people are parallel imports.
To see whether a person is good or not, not to see what title he has, but to see what he has done and what he has achieved.
The author of this book and the person who wrote the preface to the recommendation, these two people dare not write what they have studied and what they have done in their resumes, they only write what they are consultants, many of their classmates work in Tencent Huawei, and they say that they are "trainers" for a while, "big names in the financial circle" for a while, and "personal brand coaches" for a while, all of which are flashy gimmicks, indicating that they are very weak and have no ability.
It can be said that "trainer", "big name in the financial circle", "personal brand coach", and so on, people with these titles, without exception, are waste, because they are individuals who can add these titles to themselves.
What are the really powerful people?It's that you've been a professor at that university in the United States, what company you've founded, how much money you've made, that's something you can't lie about. Chinese university professors are also not entirely credible, and many university professors are also parallel imports, such as Zhang Weiwei, a distinguished professor at Fudan University and the dean of the Institute of China Studies at Fudan University, who does not even have basic scientific knowledgeFor example, Jia Qianqian, an associate professor in the School of Literature at Northwest University, is far worse than me in writing poetry.
Really powerful people don't say that they are great, but you can feel the excellence of their thoughts from between the lines.
