Netizen consultation:
Can hard work really compare to that of a gifted person?
My reply:
For young people who work in society or study in school, hard work and talent are issues discussed by many people, some people think that hard work is more important than talent, and some people think that talent is the key, in fact, these two views have their own characteristics, and there is some truth in them.
From my personal point of view, hard work and talent are actually very important, it is difficult for people with good talent to succeed without hard work, and people with average talent will not be bad in the future as long as you work hard. In response to your question, I suggest that we can consider the following aspects.
First, the talents of the vast majority of people are normally distributed, and there are not many people who are really top-notch and very poor
There is a very important reality to share with you here, we have all learned about normal distribution when we were in school, if you understand normal distribution, in fact, you also know that in real life, the talent of most ordinary people is not much different.
If you go to the school to observe a few more classes, you will find that among the young people in the school, the proportion of young people with very good learning talent is not high, and the proportion of young people with particularly poor learning talent is not high.
In our daily work and life, we should not deny that we are very talented, what kind of things have not been completed well or have not succeeded, we think that we are not as good as others, in fact, this point of view is a more pessimistic point of view, I suggest that you should still recommend a positive attitude, so that you can really know yourself, and the future can really have enough confidence to face the challenges in study and work.
2. For ordinary young people, I think hard work is the fundamental way for you to surpass others
Just now I have analyzed some of the laws of talent distribution for you, that is, it is a normal distribution, and the vast majority of people are concentrated in the middle stage, which is not particularly talented, but definitely not particularly poor talented, which leads to the fact that most people actually determine your academic performance, and the key factor for future career success is your level of effort.
For example, when you are studying in school, you are a very ordinary young person, but you can work harder than others, and the effort mentioned here is not simply to spend more time than others, but more importantly, to summarize some experiences and methods in learning more than others, and find out a set of learning methods that suit you, and your grades will definitely not be bad.
It's the same in the work, the same is working in a unit, if you want to do better results, then you have to spend more time to improve your ability, to constantly summarize and improve your own plan, and think about things a few more steps, so that you can make up for the lack of talent.
3. Keep summarizing experience in the process of hard work, and your talent will naturally improve slowly
It is true that some people will be better than the average person, and these people will be easier to learn, the same are in the same school, the same are in the same classroom, some young people have poor receptivity, and the content of the teacher can be understood in class, but some beliefs may need to spend more time to ponder carefully to be able to truly understand these knowledge, which is a talent gap.
But I think talent can be slowly made up for through acquired efforts, for example, some people may not be so perceptive, and the same formula needs more time to understand. But when you really learn a lot of things, constantly summarize and reflect on your own learning methods, and make up for the lack of talent through some learning experience, you will slowly become smarter later.
The reason why there is an initiation and an inspiration in our idioms is that after you have accumulated a lot of accumulation, you have accumulated a certain amount of time and reached a certain state, which is actually that you are enlightened.
