As the saying goes, "One heart cannot be used twice." ”
It is best to focus on one thing, to use both minds, and to be doomed to neither side reach the extreme.
How much a person can accomplish depends on the amount of focus you contribute.
In a complex society, everyone has trivial things in life, everyone will encounter many forks in the road, and everyone has several social roles, but this does not mean that you cannot do one thing wholeheartedly.
Time goes on, and you finally understand that if you want to be tired, you will be beneficial.

If you want more, you will be distracted
In the variety show "I Am an Actor", some of the contestants came across the border, before that, some of them were singers and some of them were love beans.
After several competitions, the acting skills of these cross-border players have dissatisfied the mentors and the audience several times.
Hao Lei, an acting instructor, has advised many times: "Focusing on your own industry can also become a master, not necessarily to be an actor." ”
I agree with Hao Lei's point of view.
As the old saying goes, "If you want more, your heart is scattered, your heart is scattered, and if you are weak, you can't think." ”
People's energy is limited, focusing on one direction, it is easier to touch the scenery at the top of the mountain.
I deeply understand this truth.
I have always admired talented people, in the first year of work, I signed up for guitar classes, but learning is not as easy as expected, chords practice for a long time without effect, and beats will not be counted.
After a while, I read the story of other people's writing in the circle of friends, and envied others for having a freelance job through writing.
I found a teacher to learn to write, and I won several drafts in half a year, and then the writing entered a bottleneck period.
After that, I saw my friend learning board painting, thinking about it related to my profession, so I bought tools to learn board painting, and I only drew dozens of pictures and didn't want to move, so the drawing board was covered with thick dust.
Sometimes I think about it, in the past two years, I have learned several skills, but none of them are good.
On the other hand, the friends who studied writing together before have been working hard every day since the beginning of the pen and have a firm will. Up to now, it not only has its own stable submission platform, but also a stable fan base.
Instead of spending a lot of time and effort digging many shallow wells, it is better to spend the same time and energy digging a deep well.
Looking at the excellent people around them, they are all deeply cultivated in a certain field and have never had two hearts.
Having ideals is worth encouraging, but for ideals to become reality, it is necessary to know how to build branches of desire.
On the road of life, simplify your desires and concentrate on things, so that you have the opportunity to stand on the top of the mountain.

Less is more
Taiwanese playwright Li Guoxiu, when he was young, complained that his father had made shoes all his life and did not make a fortune.
He was reprimanded by his father: "As long as you do one thing well in your life, even if your merit is complete." ”
Li Guoxiu adhered to his father's teachings and used his life's energy to do a good job of "opening the door, going on stage, and acting", and when others were busy doing other things, he never changed his creation of drama, and gradually became the most well-known and most-produced dramatist in Taiwan.
Instead of wanting to get involved in everything, it is better to streamline desires, choose the only goal, and do your best for it.
In the movie "Big Country Hand", Shi Xiangxia is obsessed with Go, which is the lonely and nameless chess to be commanded by the Hanlin Academy.
When his wife saw that everyone else had been promoted to a higher rank and became rich, she was anxious and often urged him to go out to communicate with the ministers and mention that he should study the emperor's preferences more.
In the Hanlin Courtyard, colleagues studied antiques and speculated on the emperor's preferences, and Shi Xiangxia never participated, hiding in a corner of the world, exploring the sun and moon on the chessboard.
A few years later, the Qianlong Emperor set up a ring in the Hanlin Courtyard and held a chess competition.
Shi Xiangxia relied on his superb chess skills to play against the Hanlin Academy chess players, and finally won a great victory and became the "big country hand" of the Qianlong Imperial Seal.
Shi Xiangxia was not only appreciated by the emperor, but also admired Shi Xiangxia's colleagues in the dprm, and also respected him.
Super chess skills, the way of officials, the skills of ancient times, all of them are complex things, and they do not require a lot of energy to invest in them.
Looking around at us now, why don't we want to deepen our professional skills, but also want to participate in more activities to expand our network, and we also want to cultivate hobbies to feel poetry and distant places.
Instead of trying to get benefits in everything, it is better to do one thing well, one door in depth, and everything will be harmonious.
Although the desire for excellence is good, it is necessary to understand that the strength of a skill is the real excellence.
Bo but not refined, sometimes just empty to show off talent, encounter the master, it is easy to expose the essence of nothingness.
Less is more, the wisdom of simplifying complexity and accumulating less into more.

Only by sinking the breath can it become a great instrument
Many times, the reason we can't focus is because we are too anxious about the results.
When I saw the promotion and salary increase of my friends around me, I felt particularly depressed and began to have the idea of whether the other party had used any means.
At this time, it is difficult to sink down and do things.
The ancients said: "Those who are book-obsessed will work, and those who are art-obsessed will be skilled." ”
As long as you focus on yourself and do what you do single-mindedly, one day people will see how good you are.
Zhang Jizhong, a well-known director, also envied his friends' luxury cars and mansions when he was young, and spent money like dirt.
At that time, he received an income of more than 100 yuan per month, lived in a house of less than 15 square meters, and often felt particularly depressed, but he knew how to turn the unhappiness in his heart into an action.
At first, he joined the team in the harsh rural areas of Shanxi, and with a sincere love for art, he wanted to enter a university and study art school.
However, because of family reasons, with excellent transcripts, he was turned away from the university, and he experienced this experience three times.
Watching his friends around him return to the city one by one and have good jobs, he is getting farther and farther away from his dreams.
Under such circumstances, he pressed his anxious heart, used his spare time to join the local literary and art propaganda team, and used every opportunity to study and exercise in literature and art.
Finally, at the age of 27, he was admitted to the Shanxi Drama Theatre and officially entered the door of art. In this door, in addition to performing, Zhang Jizhong also pondered the costume path, fireworks lighting, and art.
The careful polishing in the drama theater bought Zhang Jizhong an opportunity to play the leading role, he slowly stepped onto the big screen, and later successfully transformed into a director.
Spring breeze and flowers, there is no vain day.
Ten years of drama skills and strong comprehensive ability, so that the 36-year-old Zhang Jizhong's first film and television work in contact with production work won the national "Five One Project Award", and the subsequent series of works are also familiar classics.
He said in "People in the Rivers and Lakes": "The turn of fate, the willows and dark flowers of the prospects, in the end, are still the people who are persistent and persistent." ”
As the old saying goes: "Determination is not sharp, success is not fast in a long time." ”
Those who succeed are often calm, persistent and tenacious in loneliness and hardship.
With the original intention of watering with time, when the flowers bloom, the afterglow is full of mountains.

Zeng Guofan once said: "When a mortal does something, he must pay full attention to this matter, make unremitting efforts from beginning to end, do not see different thoughts, do this and think like that, sit on this mountain and look at that mountain, people have no eternity, and achieve nothing in their lives." ”
Only when people have perseverance can they succeed.
Wise people know when to make choices, understand the priorities of everything, understand the meaning of persistence, have the ability to streamline desires, and have a single-minded thinking.
When you can hold your breath and have the perseverance to persevere to the end, you can naturally get things done.
When you feel that you have not been appreciated, valued, and do not be discouraged, do not have distractions, and do the things in front of you to the extreme is the most correct choice.
People's lives will face many choices and temptations, I hope that we can all use the power of wisdom to see the clouds and find the best of ourselves.
