Let us stay away from mediocrity

Let us stay away from mediocrity <br /> There is such an experiment: a long-distance runner participates in a five-person group competition. The coach told him before the game. As far as I know, the other four people are not as strong as you, so the athlete Easily ran the first place.
Later, the coach asked him to participate in a group of ten people. The coach showed him the results of other people. He found that others did not perform as well as himself. He easily ran the first place. Later, the athlete again Participated in a team of 20 people. The coach said that if you defeat one of them, you will be able to win. As a result, in the game, he followed the athlete that the coach said, and in the final sprint, he made another First place.
Later, I changed a place. Before the game, the coach did not pass the other players. In the five-person team, he barely took the first place. Later, he slipped into the group of ten. In the second place, in the 20-player game, he only took the fifth place. The actual situation is. The other athletes in each group were exactly the same level as the first time.
Yes, we are often in this way, lacking the ability to measure the opponent's ability, and often arrange a lower position for themselves, just like the students at school: when the country is small, they are the classmates. Those who feel that the first place is not their own; after they have been promoted to the middle of the country, there are more people. It is not bad to think that they can take the top ten. So once you get to the top ten, you will be complacent; after high school, you will set your goals. Lower, even if the test is slightly different, it will comfort yourself: the master is so much, it is already very good. In this way, they will move from excellence to mediocrity step by step.
A famous entrepreneur once said that a good talent, his self-confidence is enduring. If we were originally a piece of gold, we would end up becoming a grain of sand because of the lack of eternal self-confidence. We were originally excellent. However, it is our lack of self-confidence, which has pulled us down from the excellent high level step by step and has been pulled to a mediocre position. Since the mediocrity, it is a disaster in life and a tragedy in life. Only, more often, we ourselves, directed the disaster and tragedy.
In fact, there are always people who have beautiful dreams, "flying on the branches to make phoenix", but that is only a dream. Ordinary, like us, and the vast world can not even be a drop in the Bohai Sea, can not only be a small sparrow?
It should be said that we accept ordinary, but we refuse to be mediocre.
Rejecting mediocrity requires us to be ordinary, and this is not a paradox. How many sparrows are flying on the high branches? For the rest of us, don't do this unrealistic dream. The poet Adonis has a saying, "It is not time to make you aging, but to try to keep your youth and make you aging." I think it is appropriate to change this sentence here. "It is not ordinary to make you mediocre, but It is mediocre to take a picture of the high position." I am saying this, not to let everyone give up the pursuit and struggle, just to say that since we are just ordinary people, why not enjoy ordinary happiness? The heart is full of lust and distorted "out of the head" wish, even step by step to the peak of status, but still step by step to the abyss of mediocrity. Accepting the ordinary and calmly, being a pure person with no distracting thoughts, even if "rice food, drinking water, Qufu and pillow", who would say that Jinyi jade food can be more smooth and deeper than this?
I guess you have to question, is it not mediocrity to be ordinary? I certainly won't agree with this point of view. So I said, we have to do the sparrow that can sing. You ask me what is going to sing? It is to make extraordinary things that belong to us in our ordinary life. My favorite fairy tale writer Andersen grew up in the shoemaker's family. He probably also passed the shoemaker's ordinary life, but he chose to sing his own song with his own pen and sing the song of the lower working people. He was an ordinary sparrow, but he used his voice to plate his feathers with gold.
Maybe we can't be like him, but we can still sing our own songs. In the end, "the mediocrity" is nothing to do, and our "singing voice" is branding ourselves and others' lives, and we will naturally not be mediocre. For example, Guo Mingyi, his "singing voice" is his love and kindness. Even now, he is still just an ordinary worker, but is his life still a mediocre life? We are willing to be ordinary, but we must have an extraordinary belief in our hearts to leave an extraordinary imprint on the trajectory of ordinary life.
If you can, we have to be an ordinary happy sparrow and sing proudly with our own songs. This song has its own power, which can keep us away from mediocrity and sing a wonderful life that belongs to us.
