When I was in elementary school, every time I came out on top in an exam, I would feel that God had blessed me, and I often thought that I must be the legendary "talented".
The junior high school exam ended with the first place in the school, and the complacent mood went further.
When I was in junior high school, I found out that there were so many students who ranked first in the school in the junior high school entrance examination and became classmates, and I had to work relatively hard to compete with them in the top ten in the school.
High school entered the city's first-level key school, and the first test made me understand that all the people sitting here are people who think they are "gifted and intelligent" in elementary school and even junior high school.
This is my experience! It is also the first time that I understand that the so-called genius is just enough to reach the threshold of admission tickets!
Time goes back to the imperial examination in the second year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List, imagine that you got the top 100 in the 400,000 candidates, just like the college entrance examination, you won the top 10 in the province, and even the champion, you thought you could become famous, and the future is just around the corner, but after the exam, you found that your competitors are Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Zeng Gong, the third of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties!
You also met Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, the founders of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and you also met Zhang Zai, the thinker who said the sentence "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations".
At this time, you realize that what you think is a genius is actually just the threshold to meet them.
What's even more frightening is that these few people didn't make it into the top three in the final palace exam.
The capital is resplendent with gold everywhere, and even if you are gold, it is only a touch of light among many beams. You're a genius, but everyone here is a genius, so sometimes genius is just the ticket!
Therefore, hard work is very important, and the environment chosen by people is also very important! There is no strongest in this world, only stronger, as long as you work hard, live your own life, and compare yourself with others, there is no so-called "genius" baggage!
