So, if you do something bad, some people use interest as an excuse and say that they are not interested. Nowadays, many people also think about changing careers and doing things that interest them. Usually when they resign, they will give a reason "not interested in this job."
is thinking about taking interest as a career, it's wonderful! But have you ever seriously thought: If you take interest as a career, you can do well? Or, will you still be interested?
's belief in "interest first" tends to make people miserable. Because they have been searching for something they are "interested" all their lives, once they encounter difficulties and uncertainty, they will claim that they are "not interested", and then turn to look for the next thing "interested", eventually regretting their recklessness .
has a rich man who doesn't want his child to be as affected as he is, so he asks his son to choose something he is interested in. My son likes piano, so he fully supported him to learn piano, but when his interest changed to daily boring practice, his son quickly lost interest. Let the children choose to study painting, economics, lawyers... the son gradually became disinterested in them.
looks for things to do, but in the end it achieves nothing. Career and interest are completely different things!
When an interest becomes a career or a dream, it means: you either do a lot of things you didn't want to do for your livelihood, or you have to constantly hone your skills in order to realize your dreams. This process involves a lot of hardship, and most people give up during this hardship.
photographers can't just take pictures of what they like for a living.
Painters can't just paint what they like for a living.
writers can’t just write what they like for a living.
musicians can't just make what they like for a living. Director
can't just shoot what he likes to make a living.
Most people's interests are just for relaxation, comfort, and the pursuit of superficial happiness
Actually, most people's interests are just for fun!
Once the "interest" becomes a job that you have to face every day and cannot escape, you will feel that this thing is so boring!
Many people think that things they are interested in should be particularly happy, comfortable and easy. But the career is different. It is to make a living. To make a living, you have to do a lot of things, and you have to hone a lot of skills and abilities! The patience that
learned out of interest is not enough for professional players. So we have to face a cruel reality: Interests really cannot be eaten!
and interest in money will soon gradually make people lose their original happiness due to money problems.
Do you remember the story of an old Jewish man and a group of playful children? The old man gave money to reward the children for playing. Later, the old man only gave very little money, saying that he had run out of money recently. The child was angry and said that he would never play hard for the elderly anymore.
The children have forgotten that playing is always their joy. But because of money, I lost the fun of nature!
is not to pursue interest, but to cultivate interest in the process of doing things
Our ultimate goal is to do good things.
Many people mistake the order, thinking that they can only do well if they are interested. In fact, people do things well before they become interested.
What interests you is that you do better than others around you, and then others praise you and praise your talents. After you are inspired, you will be more interested and motivated to do this.
Matthew effect, a positive cycle. Because he was able to do it well at the beginning, he built self-confidence, worked harder, did better and better, and became more and more interested.
If you are facing the distress of "not interested", you might as well put aside the so-called "interest" and get things done first. When doing better than most people, interest naturally comes.
What we really need to have is not interest, but the ability to do a good job! And in this process, more and more in love with this profession.
Li Xiao said, it is the ability to fall in love with the industry, do a job and love a job.
The nature of interest
The nature of interest is actually the amygdala of the brain, which produces dopamine, which is addictive.
There is a part of the limbic system of our brain called the amygdala, which can produce, recognize and regulate emotions, as well as control learning and memory. When you encounter something or a person that excites you, a nerve compound called dopamine is secreted in the amygdala. This compound can activate the brain's reward circuit and produce a feeling of excitement and happiness.
Some stimulating things, such as sugar, sex, love, killing..., our brain's amygdala will produce dopamine, which brings excitement and pleasure. Let us be interested and addicted to things. Z1z
can be summed up in one sentence, the generation of interest is a positive stimulation that promotes dopamine secretion. This makes us feel happy, interested, and even addicted. How to cultivate interest
Haruki Murakami said: "What you like can naturally be persisted, and what you don't like will not last for long."
He was right but not complete. Angkon will say: We can cultivate those meaningful things into the ones we like and love in the right way. If you like it this way, you can naturally continue to do it.
1, find valuable things, give great significance, and cultivate interest
For our amygdala, interest is only the secretion of dopamine, not good or bad. But interest is good and bad for our lives.
, such as smoking, addicted to games, are not good hobbies. There is no benefit in wasting time, energy, and money.
Some interest is more meaningful! For example, learning a foreign language, reading and studying, exercising and running every day, and deep independent thinking.
Therefore, the first thing to cultivate interest is to find something valuable and give it significant enough to cultivate interest.
When Li Xiao does things, he first gives a thing extraordinarily significant meaning.
For example, when he is memorizing words, he combines the amount of words with the annual salary of the New Oriental tutor. Remembering one word is a matter of earning five yuan. You can earn 500 yuan by memorizing 100 words a day. He is very happy to recite words every day, the more he recites, the more addicted he gets. I also worked hard to recite 200 words a day, earning more than one thousand yuan.
2, the two-hour rule
When we all make plans, we usually plan: what to do today and what to do tomorrow.
can't plan to keep up with the changes! Due to personal reasons such as delays or temporary incidents, the plan was not completed at the end of the day.
So, there is not much controllable one day.
and the two-hour rule is to first have a big goal to guide the direction. Then, according to the big goal, make your own small plan within 2 hours, which is more flexible. Even if you can't finish these two hours, or if something happens temporarily, you can make adjustments in time. In the next 2 hours, make a new plan based on the goals.
"One goal, multiple plan adjustments" is the concept of the 2-hour rule. The goal is small, easy to achieve, high flexibility, and always allows you to focus on the goal, so that you will not forget to do other things.
3, positive feedback
cultivate interest, the most important thing is to be able to feel happy stimuli in time, and effective positive feedback.
Why is it so difficult to lose weight? Why can't I persist in learning English? It is self-discipline and persistence. After you put in a lot of effort, you find that there is almost no change, progress or improvement.
because those usually take a long period to show effect. Working hard without seeing progress is the greatest punishment for people.
Instead of focusing on the invisible results, it is better to focus on the process of our efforts!
is like, the current educational philosophy says: Don’t praise children for how smart they are and how many points they scored in the exam, but praise their efforts. The same is true for us adults.
combined with the two-hour rule, every time you achieve a small goal and finish small things, give yourself an encouragement, praise yourself for your efforts, and be grateful for your hard work. You can also give yourself a small material reward.
allows the unreachable big goal to be broken down into specific small goals, accumulating continuous small successes, small achievements, and bringing positive feedback, which makes us more and more interested. With continuous efforts, progress is getting faster and faster, and greater achievements are made!
