People who are overly intelligent often fail, and miracles happen in places where fools are going to happen.


India has a well-known philosopher with an elegant temperament and has become an idol of many women. One day, a woman came to visit him. She expressed her love and said: "If you miss me, you will never find a woman who loves you more than I do!"

Although the philosopher also likes her very much, he still habitually replies: "Let me consider it again!"

Afterwards, the philosopher used to study the spirit of learning. He listed the advantages and disadvantages of marriage and non-marriage, and found that he was equal and equal. How to choose? He was thus caught in long-term distress. In the end, he finally came to the conclusion that if a person is faced with a choice and cannot choose, he should choose the one he has not experienced before. He is clear about the situation of not getting married, but what kind of situation will be after marriage, he still does not know. Yes! I should promise the woman’s request.

The philosopher came to the woman's home and asked her father: "What about your daughter? Please tell her, I think clearly, I decided to marry her!" The woman's father replied coldly: "You are late." Ten years, my daughter is now the mother of three children!"

The philosopher heard that the whole person almost collapsed. He never imagined that the savvy mind he had always been proud of, and finally the exchange was actually a remorse. Since then, the philosopher has become depressed. Before he died, he threw all his works into the fire, leaving only a master solution to life. If you divide your life into two, the philosophy of life in the first half is "no." Hesitating, the philosophy of life in the second half is "no regrets." Before the philosopher died, he finally understood why smart foxes often did not end well because they were often "smart and wrong."

Smart people often forget that noble heads are also driven by their feet. They are too conceited to rely on their own thoughts, and often ignore other factors, such as actions, such as others. There is a well-known old song called "The power of a fool", and the proper "stupidity" is just the right "inferiority". It is a virtue and a kind of wisdom.

If you drift to a desert island, you can only bring three things, what do you bring? Many people answer: a lemon tree, a duck, a fool. Why not bring a fool with a smart person? Because smart people will cut down the lemon tree, eat the duck, and even harm the owner. Only a fool can work hard and persistently, and finally grow melons. A fool is a kind of talent, and a place with a fool will have a miracle.

To turn "smart" into "wisdom"

There is an old saying called "Knowledge is difficult", it is easy to understand the truth, it is very difficult to put into action. Smart people like the "brows of wrinkles", but they are often limited to "brainstorming", not good at dealing with people, just use their own self, and the result is clever and clever. Zhou Yu in history is so smart, but the ending is tragedy. In modern enterprise management, countless times of ups and downs in shopping malls seem to prove this simple truth: many people, they have the most intelligent mind, have the most sensitive business sense, take a shot, and come to come... but People with these qualities are often not the last winners. This is a very strange phenomenon, but it is true. Some people define the meaning of "smart" - a person's IQ is higher than the normal value of ordinary people, such a person is a smart person often said in our lives. Following this logic, we will find that many successful entrepreneurs are not always smart. On the contrary, they may have been poor. There is a statistic that shows that no more than 10% of them have an IQ, and the remaining 90% are definitely just ordinary people. However, they succeeded. We may also be able to recall some meteor-like figures in the Chinese business community. They are sensitive and have a brain-high mind. They may even be the smartest people in the corporate world after China’s reform and opening up. For example, they can’t be in the United States. Before entering the Chinese market, they took the lead in squatting Chinese trademarks and launched products with similar functions to win market sensation; they were able to quickly understand the psychology of Chinese consumers, carefully package various conceptual health products and quickly form a market scale, and then quickly They disappeared; they were also able to show their enthusiasm at CCTV's advertising bidding meeting, and they were throwing billions of gold... So far, where are these smart people? Some have failed, some are frustrated.

There are many opportunities for smart people, but often they are not enough. The last one is planted in a beautiful trap. They are easy to be conceited, impetuous, and eager to seek success. In the change and change, they can't even figure out what is going on.

Cleverness is not a bad thing, but it may be a bad thing. It is only preliminary. We must turn wisdom into wisdom through practice. Because wisdom promotes practice and acts on the basis of wisdom, we can do more with less. The premise of the change is that you have to do it yourself.

Success requires the spirit of Forrest

The film "Forrest Gump" tells the story of an American youth named A-Gump. His IQ is only 75. It is difficult to enter the country. However, he has almost done everything: long-distance running, playing billiards, catching shrimp, and even love. In the end, he became a successful entrepreneur, and his classmates and comrades who are smarter than him did not succeed. This is a mockery of cleverness. A Gan often said in a sentence: "My mother said, to bring the gift of God to your limits." This film expresses the American philosophy of success: success is to bring the potential of the individual to the limit.

Personal temperament mainly includes three parts: physical form, IQ, and emotional intelligence. Modern psychology research shows that among the many factors that determine a person's success, the core and the decisive position are emotional intelligence, and IQ is only a necessary condition rather than a sufficient condition. Therefore, we often see in life that people with low academic qualifications always become bosses, while highly educated people are often just migrant workers. Being highly educated doesn't necessarily succeed, it just has the possibility of success.

Forrest’s success, in a sense, is given to him with mild mental retardation and does not know how to calculate and lose. The only thing he did was to simply stick to it, do it earnestly, and do it in a foolish way. Many times, what is missing in the enterprise is not a "smart person" but a "fool". When a smart person encounters a problem, he always complains about the company and his boss. It is calculated that he has to gain a point to be able to work hard. If he does not have much gain, he will not work hard. Every decision, every order, depends on how much benefit you have and how much loss there is. If it is not worthwhile, there will be “policy and countermeasures”. As everyone knows, many things are very hard-working in the early stage, three-point harvest, and later in the third place, it is very rewarding. A-Gump is not really a fool, really a fool is a person who bullies him. There is only one way to succeed in his life – that is, the effort of not counting costs. The secret of his success lies in his "simple" or "permanence."

We often use IQ to decide whether a person is smart or not, but people who are smart are also short, and people who are stupid have a long time. For example, although A-Gump has a low IQ, he runs very fast, plays harmonica, and plays billiards. Will raise shrimp, it is obvious that everything is learned, as long as you are willing to learn Kung Fu, you will be able to play in a certain field. Life often faces many choices. We learn a lot of valuable experience in the exploration, and absorb the wisdom accumulated by others. The wisdom is the key to lead us to a happy life, which has nothing to do with IQ. We may all be smarter than A-Gump, but we can't concentrate on one thing. Although we do a lot of things, we often fail. A-Gump knew his deficiencies, so he was more focused than others and he succeeded.

In other words, cleverness is not wrong, it is not sin. The key is to use your intelligence wisely so that you can add to your life without making it a beautiful baggage.

Miracle, that’s just another name for hard work.
