The most important thing is to finish, not how fast you just started running.

The higher the frequency of "get it," the more likely we are to accomplish nothing.

So far, how many times have you said to yourself about what you have been interested in, "Hey, I don't think I have talent, or forget it?"

This sentence is often used as a rest to declare a complete failure of a certain effort, and is often used to close a certain door, continue to go without having to accept too much defeat, but can not see the old road of the new scenery.

Is talent so important? Do you overestimate the influence of talent?

I visited a cellist who was known as a musical child prodigy when he was four years old and had considerable achievements in music. He first denied that he was a genius.

No effort, just relentless: the most important thing is to finish, not how fast you just started running.

He said that the question he often asked when he was interviewed in the United States was: What percentage of talent did he account for in his success?

"I think, less than 20%... But, in this 20%, my mother who forced me to learn the piano and let me go out to play, probably contributed a hundred. More than fifteen points!"

Talent does vary from person to person, but we often overestimate its influence. Looking back, I have said that "no talent, still forget it", it is really a lot! To be honest, most of them because I am lazy and don't want to continue, so I often quietly beat back when I haven't learned enough to prove that I have talent.

I once waited with a gardening master in a sunny office. He pointed to me with a bonsai that was almost angry. "The last time I came here, this bamboo was still animated, and now it has become this. Looks like plants are just like communicating with anything. If you take the time to take care of it every day, it will grow very well; if you neglect it for a few days, it will be disastrous. The more you look at it, the more you look at it. I feel sorry for it; the more I am sorry, the more I don't want to see it. Soon, it will be a life."

How many of them may change the direction of our lives or add to the joy of life, because the reason for this “more waste and more fear” is a fate?

After listening to his words, if I have realized it.

Not only learning things, love is the same!

The more he neglects him, the more he is afraid to see him; the more he is sorry, the more he will be sorry for him.

Not not working hard, just not continuing

Many people have the same tendency to follow me as I do. Not wanting to work hard, just not continuing. Sometimes I just started to work too hard, and soon I was very tired. Or I was very interested in the beginning. After I encountered a little difficulty, I told myself, "I have no talent, forget it." Then three days of fishing. Sky net.

Let’s take a Japanese study in college! At the beginning, I worked harder than any classmates. In addition to attending classes, I also took a cram school and bought a variety of textbooks. My roommate wakes up every morning for half an hour, and I vowed to be harder than her, and read it for an hour and a half more than her, so it will always be better than her!

However, her "half an hour a day" lasted for four years until she was admitted to Japan to study abroad. The two-hour effort was constantly interrupted by "outings, barbecue, love and dozing". In less than a month, the teacher did not die, and the Japanese exams were held in a temporary manner.

In the future, I worked hard on several occasions, and even took Japanese readings with me every day, but I also passed away with the wind in the absence of effort. I told myself: "Forget it, I see that I did not learn Japanese. Talent."

Now, I am still stuck at the level of the big day... "The more you happen," the higher the frequency, the more likely we are to accomplish nothing.

With persistence, you can reach the end

British psychology professor Michael Co. specializes in prodigy and genius. His conclusion is very interesting: the average person thinks that genius is a natural, smooth and unimpeded shining talent. In fact, genius needs to spend at least ten years to learn. Their special skills are no exception. To become an expert, you need to have a stubborn personality and the ability to persist... every line of professionals, a lot of hard work, to develop their professional skills.

Once a person has the talent to write, he must rely on training and experience to grasp the tricks of literary skills. All successful writers are readers for the rest of their lives, and most of them develop habits when they are young, and put their thoughts into words... Many outstanding writers have tried to write a book before the end of their childhood.

The psychologist also counted that, in the case of piano learning, if you want to become a good amateur pianist, you need to concentrate at least 3,000 hours of training; if you want to achieve professional standards, 10,000 hours is Can't run. Like chess, all kinds of sports and foreign languages, the time to become professional is similar.

From this point of view, the small setbacks in our study are not because there is no talent, but because there is no “continuous contribution”. So far, I have invested more than 10,000 hours, probably only writing?

Not only learning, the most popular weight loss for girls is "no need to work hard, as long as it is unremitting." People who lose weight crazy will always fail. According to statistics, taking the quick-selling diet or dieting to lose weight, more than 90% of the weight loss within two months of stopping weight loss, and 70% of those with side effects.

A fitness instructor also offered me his advice: "There is no need for exercise. If you continue, you can definitely get thin! I am most afraid of those who just started to be like a desperate, their strength will always be in a short time. Exhausted!"

Don't work too hard, just keep going, now I always tell myself. Want to have the expertise or interest to spend the rest of your life, just like running a man's marathon, the most important thing is to finish, not how fast you just started!
