I have heard such a saying: "A person is powerful, not suddenly powerful, but has signs before." ”Indeed, those who can achieve things often have a premonition. Character determines behavior, behavior determines fate, cause and effect in the world, and everything changes from its origin. A person with these 3 characteristics will be particularly favored by success, no matter what stage of life he is in.
CertaintyI like a saying: "The farthest road to success is the opportunistic detour." ”Those who become great tools do not lie in how smart they are, but more often in whether they can hold their ability and focus on long-term accumulation. Wang Yanzhen, a history writer, is a freelance writer who has been commented as "China's stupidest historical writer". In an era of fast-paced creation where everyone is looking for more and more everybody, he did the opposite, spending 21 years of research and publishing only three histories**. During this long creative time, he immersed himself in researching materials, checking historical materials, reading and writing every day; Sometimes in order to check the source of a historical fact, he can work until dawn without eating or drinking; When writing "The History of Zeng Guofan", in order to sort out Zeng Guofan's 12-year promotion process, he did not hesitate to spend time searching for nearly 20 million words of rare historical ......* Readers say that he writes "turtle speed", and his friends and family don't fully understand it, but he still sticks to his standards with confidence. He commented on this: "* Say that I am the stupidest historical writer, I am not angry, once it comes to historical subjects, I dare not be stupid!" My greatest strength is that I can sit on a cold bench! Later, after the publication of the book, he became the most talked about writer of the year, and his book became an important reference material for many scholars to study. It is precisely because Wang Yanzhen is stable that he can reveal the original appearance of history little by little. The world is flashy, and the roads are thousands. If you can't fix it, you will end up with nothing. After dancing for half a month, I heard that yoga was better, so I immediately switched to yoga; This job has just established itself, and I immediately want to move to a company with a higher salary; Editing programming has not yet taught itself results, and I have begun to want to learn other new skills......In the end, both sides were not well taken care of, and they fell short. It's far better to learn miscellaneous than to drill deeply. After entering the society, you find that your core competitiveness often depends on how long your "longboard" is. Some people know a little bit about everything, but they learn too shallowly, so they can't go deep inside. You must know that if you want to take on a big job and climb a high position, you must first learn to take root. A person's life is only a moment, and there are not many things that can be done well. Only by being able to endure loneliness and be qualitative can we truly achieve something.
Hold your breathSome time ago, the TV series "Hurricane" became a big hit, and Gao Ye, who played the sister-in-law Chen Shuting, also became popular. Gao Ye aspired to be an actor as early as 6 years old, and later, she applied for the Beijing Film Academy for her dream and was finally admitted. However, her success seems to have ended here, and her acting career is full of thorns and bumps. In college, she worked hard to hone her acting skills. When others are resting, she is playing tricks; When others go out to play, she is playing the lines and figuring out the ...... of the roleEven so, when she graduated, most of her classmates joined the crew, and some even had multiple script choices, but she still had no drama to play. In 2010, she barely made her debut with the drama "Please Lie to Me". But this still did not dampen Gao Ye's enthusiasm for the career of an actor. She kept her original intention and waited for new opportunities. Later, she participated in "Border Storm". Because of the needs of the plot, Gao Ye's face needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap layer by layer, and his mouth and nose must be sealed. The director gestured when she couldn't hold back, but Gao Ye couldn't hold back in order to let the director shoot for a while, and forcibly endured the pain of suffocation, so he didn't make a gesture. Eventually, it took too long and he went into respiratory arrest, fainted, and went into shock for nearly two minutes. Fortunately, the medical staff arrived in time, and Gao Ye was able to save his life. In order to play the prostitute Chunchi in "Forty-Nine Days: Sacrifice", she wrote a 6,000-word biography for the role, and specially asked a teacher to learn Jiangnan Minor. Because of this play, she also suffered from acute gastritis, but after the infusion in the hospital, she rushed back to the set immediately. During the filming of "Kyushu: The Legend of Sea Shepherds", Gao Ye was tied to the ground in the snow, and he was tied for a day. After the shooting, her legs were frozen ......For 12 years, Gao Ye just risked his life to act, took every role seriously, and waited for the opportunity to catch fire. Finally, she relied on years of accumulation to get the favor of the director of "Hurricane", and finally ushered in the peak of her career. I've heard a saying:"When your talent can't support your ambition, when your ability can't control your goals, you should calm down and practice. ”Behind the dazzling success, there is always an unknown sadness and suffering; If you can't endure hard training day after day, you won't have enviable achievements. Real capable people are very capable. If you are still at the level of a half-ass, what are the chances of success? The more you want to get something, the more you have to stay up to a certain level of heat, and then attack suddenly. Only by being patient, calming down, and constantly polishing oneself can we seize the opportunity and usher in our own highlights.
RuthlessThere is a question on Zhihu: What kind of people are the most terrifying? Below there was a high praise who replied: "Those who dare to be cruel to themselves." But in life, there are always many people who like to "habit" themselves with various excuses: they are determined to **, but every time they are satisfied, they immediately preach that "they have strength when they are full", saying that they want to read books to improve themselves, but they always take the work too tired as a shield to put the books on the shelf. In the end, he completely fell into the comfort zone, reduced to mediocrity, repeatedly jumped between unsatisfactory and wanted to get better, and constantly suffered internal friction. Many times, the vast majority of unsatisfactory in our lives actually stem from our own self-discipline. Really powerful people are willing to be "ruthless" to themselves. This is the case with writer Li Xiaoyi. She once shared her daily routine: get up at 4:45 in the morning and start writing at 5 o'clock; In order to avoid the rush hour, go to work at 7 o'clock; Serve meals at noon and do not eat after 4:30 p.m.; Go to the gym at a regular time every night, and turn off your phone at 10:30 to go to bed. She has maintained such a "self-disciplined" life routine for 9 years. In the past 9 years, she has published 10 books, become a well-known best-selling author, and be on the 10th-13th Chinese Writers List; She has more than 22 million fans on the whole network, and she runs a business, gives speeches, and ......And all these enviable achievements are due to her ruthlessness to herself. The huge amount of reading allows her to continuously acquire knowledge and write books; Strict control of diet gives her a beautiful figure and gives her abundant photogenic confidence; Nightly workouts give her enough energy to cope with the ...... of a strong workloadHer self-discipline leads to achievement, and achievement leads to the next self-discipline, forming a perfect virtuous circle. Dante once said, "The strength of a man is measured by the degree of self-control." ”Those who are always favored by opportunities are often people who are willing to be cruel to themselves. Don't be stingy with the current investment, and be ruthless, in order to move forward and gain the favor of fate. In a long life, only by being ruthless with yourself can you ride the wind and waves in the storm of life. I like what Jin Jing said: "Instead of envying others, it is better to work hard to cultivate yourself." ”Life is a practice, and instead of envying others for their potential, it is better to delve into yourself and cultivate yourself into a potential stock. No matter what stage of life you are in, as long as you practice these three things well, your life will start to go uphill. Only by being able to hold on to nature can we take deep roots; Only when you hold your breath can you move forward steadily; If you are ruthless, you can make a splash. In the second half of life, I hope you and I can cultivate these three traits well and break out of our own world.
