Xiao Ann, at the same table in high school, I was particularly impressed with her. When I was a junior in high school, I was at the same table with Xiao An. Because it was about to be close to the college entrance examination, the whole atmosphere in the class was particularly tense, just like on the eve of the big war, everyone was desperately sharpening their knives and guns to fight this battle.
Xiao An is no exception, every day when I go to school, she has already started memorizing Chinese textbooks in her position. Not only did I listen carefully to the lectures in class, but I remembered the dense notes, and I didn't let go of the 10 minutes between classes, and kept doing the real problem papers of the past years.
Because of Xiao'an's stay, I heard her roommate say that she learned at 1 o'clock at night and got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to endorse, and at that time I thought, Wow! If you work so hard, you will definitely be able to go to a key university when the time comes. But when the results of the college entrance examination came out, I was surprised and admitted to a junior college.
I didn't understand at that time, why did I work so hard and not get a good result? Until later, when I entered the workplace, the company came to an intern who had just graduated, and the leader asked her to collect a piece of information, and when she was about to leave work, the leader asked the results, and there was nothing.
"Why didn't I find anything in a day?" With a sincere face, she said, "I've tried very hard to find it, but I really can't find it." The leader continued to ask: "Have you tried all kinds of keywords?" The intern said, "I tried it all." "Did you try this?" “...... Nothing". The leader was a little angry and said: "Can't find it, why don't you ask other colleagues"? The intern had an innocent and aggrieved expression, as if to say that you see me working so hard, do you mean to criticize me?
Hey, isn't that a lot like Xiao Ann's situation? I think back to Xiao An at that time, rarely asked questions from classmates and teachers, they were all immersed in their own hard reading, usually in order to learn rarely talk, even if I was at the same table as her, we talked no more than 10 sentences a day, she was very hard and very diligent in my impression.
However, it is not enough to work hard, you need to go all out. What is the difference between hard work and full effort?
When you work hard, you feel like you've given it your all.
When you're at your best, you feel like you're not trying hard enough.
Many times, we will always work hard in our own way, always think that we are working very hard, but we will not get the results we want, and then we will start to complain about ourselves, and even turn around to question the "should we work hard".
But hard work is not to bury one's head in hard work, be conscientious, and be diligent and sincere, but to fully mobilize the resources around you, make unremitting efforts to achieve the goal, spare no effort, work hard, and use the effective resources around you from multiple angles and in many ways to make the impossible possible.
Why do I work overtime every day, and it is not me who is promoted?
Why have I been reading for many years and my life is still at a loss?
Why have I written so many articles that have not yet been appreciated by publishers?
We often hear complaints like this. In their eyes, they work hard all night to live, and those who succeed in becoming famous are just better than their chances. The efforts of others seem cheap in their eyes, and the success of others is either by selling the flesh or by trading power for money. Dismissive of other people's efforts and attributing all success to luck.
They always complain about the injustice of life and belittle the efforts of others, but they never look at themselves.
When you complain that your boss gives your competitor a raise and promotion, you only see his superficial scenery, and you don't know how long she has been silently preparing for this opportunity, staying in front of the computer every night just to overcome the problems left by the noon meeting.
And although you are after work, you are also trying to improve yourself, but after insisting for a while, you feel that you have worked hard enough, take a photo and send a circle of friends to say how hard you are for the company, how hard you work for life, I don't know if you are just a superficial effort.
Recently, I learned that the efforts of many famous writers on their own writing path are unimaginable, and some even disregard their families and health.
After reading their examples, when I look back at myself, I find that my efforts are nothing, in the eyes of others, they are just a normal form, just like we usually sleep, eat, and go shopping, and I still feel that I have made a special effort.
Many times, we always say how many changes we have made for the sake of our ideals and for the sake of our lives, but those changes are not enough to worry about. There are more people in this world than you work hard, and they don't complain about the injustice of life all day, complain about the fate of the fate, and say how hard they work for their ideals.
The road that life should take is indispensable to one step.
There has never been a shortage of people in this world who deceive themselves, telling themselves that they are so tired to live, rest, it's okay.
Those who are better than you are working hard, what qualifications do you have to hide in the corner and rest?
You stand outside the cupboard window and watch a favorite dress drooling, take a photo back to find the same Taobao style, comfort yourself, wear the same on the body, anyway, you can't see it.
You pass by the door of Starbucks, see the person drinking coffee with an Apple computer inside, look down and spit, scold, pretend.
You always reassure yourself that I can have what he can have. When you "try your best" and still don't achieve what you want, you tell yourself that I've worked hard enough and may not be the right fit for the industry.
The saddest thing in this world is that you obviously have spare energy, but you always tell yourself to do your best.
