Excerpts from this article continue to act. No more giving up halfway
There is a type of person in life who is both arrogant and humble. Their favorite thing is "I understand this truth." They often "humally" ask others for advice, but no matter what the other party says, they will answer "I understand this truth", and the subtext is "Can you tell something new?" In the end, they felt that they knew everything, but were confused about why they couldn't do it, so they had to continue to ask people who were better than them everywhere.
If you talk to a friend like "Xiao Ming", the style will be like this:
You: "I just heard you say so much, I think you just seem to know a lot, but in fact you do too little things. Only by acting can people change themselves, behavior can change their attitudes, and they cannot be too obscene."
Xiao Ming: "Oh, I understand this principle, only action can make me change. But I just can't act, I just lack a good method."
You: "The key to action is to start doing things. After starting to do things, you will find that the method is not constant. Even if the method is not good at the beginning, you can improve while doing it. And the more you do, the more you can discover new methods yourself."
Xiao Ming: "I understand this principle. The method may not be the most important, but if there is no suitable method, how do I know if I have taken the wrong direction?"
You: "When you start doing things, no one can guarantee that the direction is right. If you continue to do things, sum up experience in every action, and make adjustments, you will slowly find the right direction."
Xiao Ming: "I understand the principle. The direction always appears in the process of action. But, if there is no right direction, then I have to take many detours? I don't want to take detours, I have to live a highly efficient life."

High-quality conversation is like a wonderful table tennis game. You hit the topic, I catch it and hit it back. You can make quick turn, and I will turn backwards. Once you go back and forth, you will meet your opponent and have a comfortable rhythm. Watching a table tennis match between top players is also a pleasure in itself. And talking to Xiao Ming is a bit harder. Xiao Ming never uses a racket to play basketball. He uses his hands to grab the table tennis ball, and serves again after grabbing it. If you are heart-to-heart, Xiao Ming's first reaction will always be "I understand this", and then emphasize your original point of view. Every time such a conversation is experienced once, it is a harm to the friendship between the two sides.
Many people have to eat "hand-catch" when eating, and many people only know how to "hand-catch the ball" when playing. What’s even more terrible is that if a person practices more with a hand, it is more convenient than a racket, and he will think that he is very good at playing basketball. What would you do if you meet an opponent who only knows how to catch the ball with your hands while playing table tennis?
Don’t laugh, the person who only knows how to catch the ball with his hands is probably us.
