Preface
Recently, a group of videos titled "The Difference Between First Class and Economy Class" has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. In the video, the host invited some so-called "first-class passengers" and "economy class passengers" to conduct interviews, showing the huge gap between the two from their living conditions, career choices, life concepts, etc., and also brought some inspiration and thinking to the audience.
Through this set of videos, we can't help but wonder, what are the factors that cause the huge gap between "first class passengers" and "economy class passengers". Where exactly is the gap between the lives of successful people and ordinary people? In a highly competitive society, how can we enhance our competitiveness and seize our own opportunities?
1. Long-termism VS short-term impulse
In this series of interview videos, the so-called "first-class passengers" invariably emphasize the concept of "long-termism". They believe that whether it is in career development or life planning, they need to have a long-term vision and firm determination, and only by continuing to cultivate in one field can they truly get their own "first-class" life.
In fact, success is never achieved overnight, and only in the persistence and accumulation day after day can we usher in real growth and harvest. As Gladwell mentions in his book "Outliers", the "10,000-hour rule" requires 10,000 hours of hard practice and accumulation in order to excel in a certain field.
Unlike "first-class passengers", so-called "economy class passengers" are often more likely to be swayed by the temptation in front of them, and engage in some speculative behavior or three-minute hot things with the mentality of short-term profits. They often don't have much planning and persistence, and it is difficult for them to stand out in the fierce social competition, so they are left far behind the "first class" winners.
2. Academic background VS experience
In addition to the difference in attitudes towards things and the determination to choose, the two factors of education and experience are also important reasons for the huge gap between "first class passengers" and "economy class passengers".
In the video, we can clearly feel how much importance the "first-class passengers" attach to their academic qualifications. They believe that excellent academic qualifications can escort their lives, give them more confidence and opportunities in the workplace competition, and be more easily recognized and valued by the society.
In fact, whether at home or abroad, academic qualifications do often become a "plus" for a person's competition, especially in certain industries, employers are often more inclined to choose those with excellent academic backgrounds, believing that they have stronger learning ability and adaptability.
However, unlike "first-class passengers", so-called "economy class passengers" tend to focus more on practical work experience and ability accumulation. They believe that academic qualifications are important, but only by transforming what they have learned into practical abilities, and constantly practicing and summarizing, can they be comfortable in the workplace and make better results.
3. Adapting to the environment VS passive acceptance
In addition to the internal qualities and abilities of the individual, the general environment and the ability to adapt to external changes have also become an important criterion to measure whether a person can succeed.
In the video, we can clearly feel the sensitivity and active adaptability of the "first-class passengers" to the general environment. They are willing to come into contact with all kinds of new things, and maintain an open and inclusive attitude, so that they can well grasp the new opportunities of social development, and can also be comfortable in the fierce market competition to achieve their life goals.
At the same time, they will continue to adjust and learn to improve their comprehensive quality and competitiveness, so as to win their own "first-class" life in the ever-changing social tide.
In contrast, so-called "economy class passengers" tend to be more conservative and passive. They often seem a little helpless about the changes in the external environment, and even have a "wait for the rabbit" mentality, thinking that their lives will be subject to various restrictions and cannot make too many changes and breakthroughs.
epilogue
Through the viewing of this set of videos, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of the life gap between "first-class passengers" and "economy class passengers", and also has some inspiration and thinking about the meaning of success and the life attitude of successful people.
In today's era of rapid development, everyone has the potential to become a "first-class passenger", to live the life they yearn for, and to realize a variety of life values. The key is that we must have a long-term vision and firm determination, choose a development path that suits us, continue to learn and accumulate, and have the courage to adapt to various changes, dare to meet challenges and seize opportunities.
I hope that through our joint efforts, more people can be inspired and find the goal of life, and I also believe that in the near future, there will be more "first-class" winners who will stand out and contribute to the development and progress of society.
