First-rate people do first-rate things

First-rate people don't have time to waste like ordinary people. He has to do many first-class things with a long life. He can't live a life of ordinary people. He can't react to ordinary people in many things in life. He must give up or reduce the happiness, outings, entertainment, love and hate, disputes, defenses and clarifications of ordinary people. He must hold back not to stalk for small things, he has the ability to quickly distinguish what is irrelevant, and then cut it off immediately. If a person is too hard to do everything well, he will not do the most important things.

Bannis said: "Pure governance people may be able to do things right, but the real leaders pay attention to doing the right thing." A big problem for modern people is that they start to be too casual and focus on distraction. It is not easy to distinguish between priorities. If you happen to have a strong ability, even the wrong things can be done very well, and the unfavorable situation can be reversed, but it will take a lot of time and feelings.

"The smartest people are those who are indifferent to insignificant things. But they are always indifferent to those matters that are more important. Those who are too focused on small things often become incompetent with big things." Grab the big things, small things will take care of themselves. Most of the first-class characters have the ability to ignore the "small". When you go forward, you can't care too much about the roadside ants and the waterside frogs - of course, there are poisonous snakes blocking the road. "If you have to move all the obstacles before you act, then you can't do anything."

Many people are busy dealing with trivial things all day, always complaining that they can't move their time to do serious things. In fact, their subconscious mind is escaping to do serious things. Because doing big things requires imagination, judgment, courage and confidence.

The more you fight with the lower hand, the more stinky you are.

Once, a mole challenged the lion and decided to marry him. The lion decisively refused. "How," said the Mole. "Are you afraid?"

"I am very scared," said the lion. "If you promise you, you will get the honor of being compared with the lion; and I, all the animals in the future will laugh at me and fight with the mole."

"The trouble with the mouse game is that even if you win, you are still a mouse." For the contest of low-level interactions, the big guys are dismissive. This is especially true in the struggle. If you are arguing with someone who is not the same heavyweight, you will waste a lot of resources, lower people's expectations of you, and unintentionally improve the other side.

Similarly, the greater a person's hobbies about trivial matters, the less hobbies he has for big things, the less things he does not do, the less he encounters real problems, the more people care about trivial things, just like playing chess. It’s easy to play chess with someone who is not as good as you, and you can easily win, but you can’t grow chess forever, and there’s more chess, and the chess will get worse and worse, so good players would rather play less and try not to And not as good as your own people. William James said: "The wise art is to clearly understand the art of ignoring what to do." Don't be overwhelmed by unimportant people and things, because "the secret of success is to hold on."

Lazy people promote history

Successful people and those with leadership temperament tend to do things that they like and think are important, while other things can be done without doing it. If you can postpone it, you can postpone it. If you can’t do it, you have to think about it. Easy way. In fact, many of the inventions and creations of human beings are derived from the idea of ​​such lazy people. Therefore, some people joked that lazy people promoted the development of history, and lazy people are more suitable to be leaders. Because the essence of leadership is to do the right thing, not to do things right. People who work too hard have no time to make big money. Many people complain: "I work too hard, I just don't have time to read and think." This sentence means that the needs of satisfying the livelihood have taken up everything, so that you don't have time to think about future opportunities. Lazy people are often more suitable for leadership than diligent people, because he has time to think and have time to replenish. In the ant country, the ant king is often the laziest.

The person riding the bicycle is not far away. If you work too busy and don't have time to think about what you do, you won't be able to make the most of your achievements. After reducing the workload, you are free to do extensive rather than narrow research. If you are too focused on your small field, you will not know the information and ideas that other areas may have a great influence on what you are currently doing. Unless there is time to extensively learn and learn what others have done, new inventions rarely occur and innovation cannot happen. Innovation is almost always a combination of two or more known ideas in novel ways. People with simple information and simple ideas are hard to become creative and leading figures.

Sometimes reducing the workload is not voluntary, but the limited opportunities that the environment can provide. Just as the young Churchill was in India: Churchill, who was stationed in India, used his free time to re-read books he had overlooked at college. This experience has benefited him for life.

Note gravity is a resource

Wen Ruian said: "The real master will focus on the fine, the gas and the gods." In life, it is more sensible to concentrate. Because a person's resources and energy are limited in a certain period of time, you can't do several equally important and difficult things at the same time. And trivial things will also occupy your space and kill your will. The openness of the world and the dramatic increase in information provide opportunities for collective choice and personal development, but also bring a lot of spiritual distraction and exhaustion. Choosing like a river, the wider it becomes, the more people drown inside. People need more and more swimming skills, and they need to swim in the right direction, because you can't just swim.

Things that are not worth doing will make you mistakenly think that you have done something. You spend a lot of time and energy, and you may get a sense of self-comfort and illusory satisfaction. When you wake up, you will find that you have not done anything, but you are exhausted. Things that are not worth doing will also give life to them. "The simple regularity of an activity will gradually evolve into inevitability." After a while, people will say: "We should not let it disappear, we have been doing this for so long." It is like some people obviously do not like their lover, but still have to be together, because together for a long time, habit Make people reluctant to make other choices. But in the end, one has to pay for what he does not worth doing. The bigger the matter, the greater the cost.

Rewarding the difficulties and advancing

It is more important to be more difficult and more intelligent than to know.

"If you don't succeed at first, try again. If you are still unsuccessful, you should give up; stupid persistence is no good." The retreat at the right time is the culmination of all the outstanding performances, like Yeltsin’s December 31, 1999. Similarly, few books are worth reading. If you spend money to buy a book or magazine, it doesn't mean you have to read it to avoid wasting money. Your time is a resource that cannot be recycled. The money you spend is not. Someone said: "All you have to do is know that a book of 50,000 words in one minute does not meet your expectations, and then decides not to read." The ability of speed reading is not only reflected in reading, but also in interpersonal communication. .

Ending a thing or a feeling is sometimes more difficult than starting. I can understand the long-term love and reluctance. But what I don't understand is: Why do you know that you are wrong, you still don't change it? It is a sign that one has strength and determination, and it is the foundation of one's hope and achievement. In fact, life is very simple: things are lost, find it, can't find it, forget it, go find the next one. Fallen, climbed up, patted the dust, and continued on the road. If you can't end as soon as possible, you can't start as soon as possible; if you can't end well, you can't start well. "Repentance is a mentally consuming emotion." Regret is a greater loss than loss, a bigger mistake than mistake. The heart is still in the dream, you can start all over again, and starting from the beginning is a heroic life.

The right time and the right place

Looking at football matches, we will find that the best shooters are the ones who are the best at capturing fighters. They always appear in the right place at the right time. A good shooter is someone who will run. In fact, all "top experts" and successful people are very good at grasping the timing and choosing the environment. Someone once summed up a "one-two-three law", that is, no more than one year of love, no more than two years of learning English, and no more than three years in a job. This seems to be a joke, but it can give some inspiration. Only when people are constantly changing can they maximize their potential and improve themselves. The longer stagnation tends to make people's psychology tend to be numb, and their mentality tends to grow old, leading to stereotypes and over-specialization, while staying in an environment. For a long time, it will not benefit from its own development because of excessive grievances. Therefore, we often see that those cadres who are constantly moving are often promoted the fastest. Those who come from the south to the north are often prone to make big fortune. Those who “encircle the city in the countryside” tend to become celebrities. There is no reason for anyone to ignore the fact that this is an era of high mobility with speed and efficiency. Everything is developed in the flow and transcends itself. For a person who is eager to succeed, sometimes they must leave the familiar environment, leave the familiar field, and develop and enter into a place farther and more conducive to their own development. It should be noted that a person who is sitting still cannot appear in the right place at the right time.
