"Great achievements do not lie in talents, but in accumulating such a large amount of practice at the right time and in the right place."-Carl Newport "So Good To Be Ignorable"
Wherever someone exists , The controversy between a priori theory and acquired theory will not stop, even the matter of finding a job is no exception.
"Why do people like their job? Because that is where his talent lies! His talent is to be a worker. We are different. My talent is lying flat." Someone must think so.
Aesthetics master Zhu Guangqian wrote this categorically in " Talking about Beauty ": Genius is an excuse for lazy people.
So in the book "Too Good to Be Ignored", what conclusion did the author come to about "passion for work" through research? There are three conclusions:
one, professional passion is scarce;
two, passion takes time;
three, passion is a by-product of mastery.
The question of a priori theory and acquired theory finally has an answer. Professional passion is scarce. There are indeed people who are born with passion for a certain field.
A few days ago, I watched the live broadcast of Fan Deng teacher and Fox Director Zhang Chenliang teacher, and Teacher Fan asked Director Fox a question, why do you like insects so much?
Director Fox replied without thinking: "I have liked insects since I was a child, and I wanted to study insects. When I was in college, I wanted to apply for entomology . As a result, I didn’t have such a major for my undergraduate, so I could only choose plants and master. I will choose insects when I’m in.”
suddenly remembered the words of and Confucius , “Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy.” Director Fox may be a natural happy person.
Since professional passion is scarce,So what about those of us who don't have professional passion? Can only work painfully for a lifetime?
At this time, the second conclusion is needed-passion takes time.
Every time after the college entrance examination, there will always be countless professional discussions, and the most likes are always the comments of "Don't choose XX professional". If you really believe these comments, there may not be any in the world. A major is worth choosing.
So what is the fact? After research, it is found that no matter what job it is, the number of likes and dislikes is equal. It means that the type of work does not determine the degree of people’s preferences, and the variable that can most accurately predict a person’s degree of preference for work is working hours.
There is a book called "Sweeping the Road", which talks about how to use the spirit of craftsman to wash the toilet. If someone really likes washing the toilet, then the above conclusion should be unacceptable.
How does time affect work passion? I think we should put conclusion three together. Passion takes time, but it does not mean that you can gain passion just by consuming time. Time should be spent on continuous improvement in work.
The book "Driving Forces" provides a theory for us to understand this point of view-self-determination. When we want to be motivated at work, we must meet three points: autonomy, competence and belonging.
If people are willing to make continuous efforts in diligence, then no matter what occupation, they can achieve a sense of autonomy, competence and belonging.
This is what Carl Newport wants to tell us, the author of "Too Good to Be Ignored" -"Working right" is better than "Working right".
