Philosopher Socrates took three disciples to the wheat field and said, "Let's go directly, don't look back. You have to find the largest wheat grain along the way."
The eldest disciple took a few steps and picked a larger wheat grain; the second disciple looked around, always thinking that the "barley grain" was behind, but when he reached the other end, he hurriedly picked a barley grain; the third disciple observed and compared it, and then found a large wheat grain.
Obviously, it is impossible to act hasty, hesitate, look at the mountain high, and only by "observing and studying and grasping the law" can we achieve expectations.
This is the "wheat ear effect".
The reason why a person is very powerful is not that he has natural power, but after many attempts, he has encountered many walls in society, found the laws of life and discovered the opportunity to change his destiny.
All calmness comes from inner wisdom and concentration; behind all smiles, there are unknown grievances and tears of hard work to hide them.
When a person moves from mediocrity to excellent, he presents different wisdom in finding "wheat grains".

Learn to accumulate strength and make progress: "A mistake will lead to eternal regret." If you have not thought about it well, don't start easily and don't draw conclusions.
There is a saying that says: "It's shaking up the duck to put it on the shelves."
No one knows whether the shelf is stable or not, the duck doesn't have the courage to walk up, and he can't grasp the balance. Therefore, the racks and ducks are swaying, which is very dangerous.
Spring and Autumn , Confucius takes his disciples out and is trapped between Chen State and Cai State . Some officers and soldiers surrounded them.
disciple Yan Hui disguised himself and went out to ask for food. He asked for some rice to cook for everyone.
Suddenly, the pot tilted and some rice fell to the ground. Without hesitation, he grabbed the rice on the ground and ate it.
Yan Hui's actions were discovered by other disciples, and they thought it was "stolen" and complained to Confucius.
Confucius said : "What you believe is the eyes, but the previous eyes are still not trustworthy; what you rely on is the heart, but the heart is still not reliable."
We think, "Seeing is real, and hearing is empty." In fact, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, and what you think with your heart is not necessarily true.
Therefore, don't make a decision. If you take a few steps at will, it is a waste of time or even a completely different direction.
The great disciple of Socrates randomly picked a grain of wheat that looked very big, so he missed all the opportunities afterwards. This is the consequence of "too decisive".
There is no turning back in life to go. Therefore, if we want to love someone, we must think of "never leave you for the rest of our lives", otherwise we will enter the palace of marriage and then divorce, which will make us laugh; if we invest casually, we will probably lose money, and we will not be able to find a job; if we don't have a direction, it will be difficult to succeed.
Awesome people attach great importance to the first step in life. They spend a lot of time reading. Use hard study to increase your confidence in life and work.

Learn to grasp the present: "The opportunity cannot be missed, the time will never come again". If you are always hesitant, you are destined to miss it.
We often comfort people like this: "Don't worry, good shows are coming."
Indeed, many successful people accomplish nothing when they were young. It was not until I was 40 or 50 that I gradually developed and became a latecomer.
In fact, people who are late to achieve success will not account for a very high proportion. There are quite a few people who succeed according to the laws of life development. Some hesitant people always fail at the critical moment; they hesitate a little while in grasping the rules, and are not accurate enough, so they beat their chests and stamp their feet again and again.
"Lüshi Chunqiu " tells two stories: Chu State people is going to sneak attack Song State . Because there is a river between the two countries, people were sent to the river to watch early and marked the depth of the water flow.
At night, the sneak attack began. The Chu people rowed the boat into the middle of the river according to their previous plan.Unexpectedly, on that day, the river water surged, the ship was washed away, and the river was overturned.
Chu people took a boat to cross the river and accidentally dropped their sword into the river, but they did not go fishing it out, but made a mark on the side of the boat. I think that when I reach the shore, I can find the sword by following the mark.
Obviously, these two stories illustrate one truth- "One time, another time". What we can grasp is "this time".
If you act immediately when making marks, then things will succeed. Unfortunately, time will not turn back, and yesterday's marks will never become today's opportunity.
The second disciple of Socrates wanted to pick the big wheat ears, but he was very entangled and thought there was something bigger in front. Therefore, he missed many opportunities.
Awesome people always update their "wisdom". When wisdom and opportunities match, they attack. In this way, wisdom will be brought to the extreme and success will be "natural".
For example, set a standard for choosing a spouse in advance. When you see someone who meets the standards, you will immediately confess your love, and don’t worry about the embarrassment of “the man pursues a woman, the woman pursues a man”. Even if you are rejected, at least you will not leave any regrets.

Learn to plan: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." If you understand everything, you will succeed from the beginning.
In the story of borrowing arrows on the straw boat, we found such wisdom: in Battle of Red Cliff , Zhuge Liang agreed to make 100,000 arrows within three days based on the weather at that time, Cao Cao 's personality, Zhou Yu 's temper, etc. A ship to install the scarecrow, gongs and drums , etc. were prepared.
Watching the arrows fly around, many people will worry that wise people at that time regarded it as an opportunity.
Zheng Banqiao said: "It is difficult to be smart, and it is even more difficult to be confused. From smart to confused, it is even more difficult."
As a person, you must find a balance between being confused and being smart, and you must also pretend to be confused with your understanding.
can win the last person, always observe the situation around him, and be good at grasping some favorable factors around him and use it for his own use.
Through overall comparison, I can find that in a wheat field, which range of wheat grows gratifyingly; through detailed comparison, I can find that in the area where I see it, which wheat is the largest. Select the best from
, and you will have the best solution and the best result.
Finding the largest wheat from a wheat field is undoubtedly "looking for a needle in a haystack". But think carefully, using to absorb iron stone to absorb the needle, and using sensors to discover the needle, there are always more ways than difficult.
The power of a person is to think calmly and observe quietly. The whole story of the matter is expected, and the start is a sprint.
05
We think that life is a process, and eating and drinking will pass.
is not actually the case. When a person reaches a certain age, it is as difficult to make money as "take the chestnut from the fire". How can you do without wisdom?
There is a saying: "This world is not lacking success, but lacking the wisdom of success."
There are no genius boys, no pie, only the accumulated achievements, and a pair of eyes to find wheat grains.
If you want to stand out, you have to find a different approach.
