Some people say that most sentient beings are confused, chasing everything they think is worth it, but they can't help but lose themselves.
<h1>Stick to the rules and no longer be curious</h1>
Curiosity has always been one of the driving forces of human progress.
The reason why people become mediocre is to stop exploring and advancing, and stick to the rules.
Especially in today's rapidly developing society, people who are not curious and conformist are easily abandoned by the times.
American architect Louis Isadore Kahn wrote a short article about his ideal world of knowledge:
Originally there was no school, just a tree. Someone began to speak under a tree, and this man was perhaps an elder of the village, telling young people stories he had heard from his ancestors, perhaps a prophet enlightened under an olive branch. In short, the world's earliest school was a tree, and there was no wall at that time, and the person who spoke at that time did not know that he was a teacher, and the person who came to listen did not realize that he was a student at first. Thus began human knowledge.
Curiosity is always holding a beginner's mentality, respecting new things at the same time, but also constantly seeking breakthroughs and self-growth.
Losing curiosity and forever solidifying one's own understanding on the basis of the original knowledge will eventually lead oneself into an infinite cycle of mediocrity.
<h1>Escape from reality and always stay in your comfort zone</h1>
The tragedy of man lies in the fact that he likes to live in his own fantasies.
Most people still fantasize about a promotion and a salary increase to the peak of life, but they can't summon up the courage to face the world in their daily lives. So there is an escapism, the phenomenon of boiling frogs in warm water.
There are news reports: Since 2013, the sales of instant noodles have fallen by 8 billion bales for three consecutive years. Why?
It's not that instant noodles become unpalatable, it's that it's taken over by takeaways.
In this era, the people who will beat you into the abyss are often not your competitors, and the terrible thing is cross-border robbery.
No job in this world is static, stay in the comfort zone, and one day be abandoned by the times.
Those who escape from reality, those who stay in their comfort zone forever, this is actually a step backwards in life. Because people are in reality and setbacks, the more frustrated and courageous, in order to become a better self, otherwise doomed to mediocrity.

The more mediocre people are, the more they like to be calculating.
Li Ka-shing once said something to the effect that:
But anyone who cooperates with him, Li Ka-shing will certainly not let the other party suffer losses, and give everything that should be given, or even give more.
The things that are calculated are often of little significance, especially in the ways and methods of dealing with people and treating people and things, the more you calculate, the smaller the pattern, and your development space will be limited.
There are many such people in reality:
In life, is it wrong for you to do this; in the work, it is not my fault; emotionally calculating, how I treat you, how you should treat me.
In such a life, not only do you live very tired, but the people around you are also affected. Only by learning to look farther can we see a wider world.
I am most afraid that you will do nothing in your life, and comfort yourself that you are ordinary and precious.
