When I was a teenager, I had a high opinion of myself and felt that everyone was mediocre. However, I must have very few people who have read so many books at a young age and have learned so many principles. But the more you experience, the more you understand that there are many principles in the world, but few of them are really useful. It is better to know how far you know more deeply. The most enviable thing is those simple but persistent people.
So, I don’t appreciate those who know everything at all, know astronomy and geography at all, but only those who are simple and persistent. Laozi said that the way is simple. Einstein said that the most complex is the most simple. Life is very simple, why bother to be so complicated? Life is short. It is enough to be able to do one thing well and love someone.
For so many years, I have been pursuing more and more, pursuing prosperity and complexity. My vision is getting higher and higher, my desires are getting bigger and bigger, and I know more and more, but I have lost myself. I have no ideals, no beliefs, and no core competitiveness. I am busy every day but have nothing to learn, and in the end I will achieve nothing. This is also caused by one's own fault. If you work hard and work in the wrong direction, you will naturally not achieve anything. You don’t know your ideals at all. How can you achieve your career? You don’t know who you like, how can you find the right partner?
People with clear life goals and people without life goals are completely different two types of people; people who identify one goal, do their best, and persevere, and people who retreat when encountering difficulties and give up halfway are also completely different two types of people. A person who sets a goal in his life, does not care about it, works hard and perseveres is the most admired person.
I saw too much information, was stimulated too much, the noise around me was too great, and the temptation was too much, which made me completely lost myself. I want to do whatever I see business and make money, I want to own whatever I see, I want to buy whatever I see, I want to travel wherever I see beautiful scenery, and I want to love whoever I see charming. I am like a dandelion, drifting with the wind, and after years, I still float in the air, never taking root.
people, in fact, like plants, they must take root in one place, in an industry, in one thing, work hard to train for several years, grow for several years, and accumulate for several years, so that they can grow taller, become stronger, and become pillars. If they are always changed, change over and over again, they cannot grow, become stronger, and achieve nothing.
Life is focus. We should dig a well deep, rather than digging holes everywhere. The smartest people are those who are willing to put in a hard job and those who are willing to do stupid things. Ordinary people always want to save trouble, achieve quick results, get rich, take shortcuts, and take shortcuts; only people with great wisdom want to take slow, make slow money, and be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, use stupid methods, put in hard work, and put in hard work as much as anyone else's efforts.
We all know that a seed cannot quickly grow into a towering tree no matter what. So why do you always want to become an expert by reading a few books, and you can succeed in your career by working hard, you can double your assets by buying a few stocks, and you can get rich by doing a random business?
There is no easy thing in the world that makes sense, and there is no word "easy" in adult life.
