Author of The Invitation to Ten O'Clock Reading
Most people would rather suffer from life,
Nor do I want to suffer from learning
The beginning of 2020 seems to be a little difficult, and the sudden outbreak of the epidemic has caught many people off guard.
Due to the epidemic, I was also stuck at home during this time, but I always kept working and studying 8 hours a day.
Once, I stopped halfway to rest in the living room and saw my mother talking to my cousin in my hometown.
In the video, the cousin complained with a sad face, "Because of this epidemic, the two people are unemployed at home, the in-laws have not worked, every day when they open their eyes, they can't go out to find a job, and the mortgage will not be able to afford." ”
I didn't have much contact with my cousin, but every time I saw her, I was either watching a drama on my mobile phone or playing a game of "eating chicken".
I have advised her many times to learn something new on the Internet and get a new job.
But she always waved her hand and said, "This is what you young people do, I am in my thirties, and I will count one day at a time." ”
As everyone knows, there is a trap called ease. There is no crisis, it is the biggest crisis.
It wasn't until this epidemic that unemployment and bills seemed to make her understand a truth: when the tide faded, she didn't know who was swimming naked.
I once saw a topic on Zhihu, "Why do most people prefer to eat the hardships of life than the suffering of learning?" ”
One of them is a highly praised answer, which makes people deeply believe:
"Probably because of laziness, the pain of learning needs to take the initiative to eat, the pain of life... You lie still and it comes..."
Yes, the suffering of learning is active and boring, and even if you suffer from these sufferings, you will not see results in the short term. And for the bitterness of life, it is like boiling a frog in warm water, making people feel hindsight.
But just like the words that Cai Kangyong said,
"15-year-old found it difficult to swim and gave up swimming; by the age of 18 I met someone you liked who asked you to go swimming, and you had to say I wouldn't."
18 years old think English is difficult, give up English, 28 years old has a great but to know English job, you have to say I will not yay.
The more troublesome you are in the early stage of life, the more lazy you are to learn, and the more you miss the people and things that move you, and miss the new scenery. “
The most terrible thing in the world is that people who are better than you work harder than you
This year's Spring Festival, because of the epidemic, has grown a little longer than before.
But during this period, some people gathered in pairs to play mahjong, and some people studied behind closed doors at home.
Some people lie down and brush their mobile phones every day, and some people study the network economy online.
Some people play games online all the time, and some people take the opportunity to learn a new skill.
I remember the days just after the Spring Festival, I happened to be in the circle of friends, and I saw the status of the circle of friends sent by a big guy, which read:
"People are more popular than dead, I was locked up at home for 7 days to write an article, 16,000 words ... Or full output state, this efficiency, beyond reach", and with a crying face.
It turned out that in his circle of friends, another big guy sent a status, "7 days to hand over 92,000 words, write a book, take a picture of the place of origin, wait for it to grow up to show it." The picture shows a clean and tidy computer desktop.
It's not terrible that someone else is better than you, it's scary that the good guy is working harder than you.
Remembering the hit drama "Ode to Joy" from the previous two years, several other girls did not take learning seriously after they went to work; and Andy, an elite returnee, had a wall of books and had to take two hours to study every day, no matter how busy he was.
There is no difference between exercising and not exercising; every other month, the difference is very small; but every other year and five years, there is a huge difference in physical and mental states.
The same is true of the gap between people and people. A day without learning the difference between you and others, just knowing a little less. If you don't study for a year and don't learn for ten years, the gap between you and others is a world of difference in cultivation and temperament.
How does a person maintain the habit of perseverance?
There is a saying that goes, "Man, you can escape reality, but you can't escape life." ”
In this rapidly changing era, if you can't maintain a progressive attitude and keep a good eye on the changes of the times, you will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated, as the saying goes, "The times abandon you and will not say goodbye."
So, how do you maintain the habit of perseverance? We can learn from the following three aspects:
1. "Utilitarian" learning
Many people think that "utilitarian" is a very bad word, but when you go out of school, you will find that adult learning is no longer for credits, but more often about survival and life.
In the face of the pressures of the workplace and life, if you still learn with a hammer and a hammer, it will only delay your growth indefinitely.
But on the contrary, utilitarian learning, because of its strong purpose, in a shorter period of time, the knowledge learned can be directly applied to life and work, the purpose is clear, targeted.
For example, if you are an administrator in a company, one of the jobs involves a lot of data statistics, you need to learn statistics; but at the same time you are also learning English, in contrast, put more time and energy into statistics, is the adult world should have the concept of learning.
At this time, utilitarian learning can make you quickly become a better version of yourself, so that you can meet the next better you.
2. Efforts to follow the trend
In this society, there are three levels of effort: the first layer, low-quality effort, and most people have this layer. The second layer is to work hard and make efficient use of time and scheduling resources. The third layer, reduce the goal, through strategic efforts, find the core competitiveness, do less, do the right thing.
For example, a teacher who lectures well and diligently offline, 10,000 lectures per lecture, 200 lectures a year, and a maximum of 2 million a year.
If the teacher tries online knowledge payment education, maybe in a week, the online course will exceed the income of the previous year, and this is just the beginning.
This is the effort to keep up with the times.
While we strive to move forward, we must not forget to judge the situation, grasp the opportunity, and conform to the trend of the times is not necessarily to go with the flow, but to let you live out what you want.
3. Run fast in small steps and iterate quickly
Many people have a perfectionist mentality when they first try something new, so that they often fall into an extreme misunderstanding: either do it well or don't do it.
So before you can make sure you're perfect, you habitually procrastinate. Often it is dragged to the end, and things are not settled.
We will face many challenges in our lives, learning to write for the first time, learning to speak for the first time, learning to speak for the first time, etc., but no one can do things well at once, and no growth can be achieved overnight.
We only have to "run at 50 points" and then iterate.
In the process of iteration, continuously repeat the optimization and repeated feedback in order to usher in the next transformation.
On the road of life, if you want to gain a firm foothold in this era, only by maintaining the ability to learn at all times, conforming to the changes of the times, not afraid of risks, and rapid iteration, can you make yourself invincible.
Mutual encouragement.
