I think everyone growing up will be more or less enveloped by the emotion of “low self-esteem”. I myself am a person who has always been entangled in the “loser” complex.
When I was a kid, I couldn’t hold my head up in front of my classmates in gym class because I was fat; when I moved to a big city, I became a punching bag for the whole class because of my accent and introverted personality; when I got to high school, I entered the province’s experimental science class and realized that the IQ of some schoolboys was beyond my reach for the rest of my life; when I first came to the U.S., I was considered a FOB by my classmates, a hick from a third world country; when I got mixed up in the so-called world famous schools, I saw a wave of cattlemen around me and fell into the frustration of mediocrity; when I managed to squeeze into Wall Street in New York, I saw the so-called “cream of the crop” selected from the famous schools and started to face the lack of my comprehensive ability; when I came back to Hong Kong, I was surrounded by many investment bankers.
When I returned to Hong Kong, many of my investment banking colleagues were far better than me in terms of business and interpersonal skills, so I could only survive in a high pressure environment; after switching from Party B to Party A and starting to do PE investment, when I fought with Soros’ son at the same table, I could deeply appreciate the significance of “family education” and “winning at the starting line” to a person.
From foreign capital to state-owned enterprises, we began to see what the mainstream players in the system were really playing, and realized how ridiculous it was to inflate various ungrounded bubbles in the marginalized foreign environment; then we began to contact insurance, banking and other financial fields, and only then did we know what we were doing in the whole financial map, ten times a hundred times the size of the small pond we originally tossed.
Shared a large paragraph above, in fact, I want to say, the most important is the following points.
- like talich teacher in my study at Stanford before gifting me the words.
When you get there, you don’t have to expect to be a bull, but at least you know how wide the ocean is and can see what the bull is doing, that’s enough.
For the tortoise, the rabbit’s existence is at least to let it know that there is still a “hare” in this world and how fast the hare can run. To steal a slogan: let you see the bigger world, which in itself is the greatest meaning.
The existence of the hare enables the tortoise to face the fact that it is a tortoise. Have the courage to face their true selves, in order to accurately locate their own position, but also to calmly think about the most suitable for their own life planning. This, very often, is precisely the easiest thing to know and difficult to do.
- In fact, the more people go back, the more they will deeply appreciate the insurmountability of “class”. The cynicism of the time will curse: “Fuck this world why so unfair. But when you are no longer hormonal, you may start to think: since this is the case, I should do something about it? While you are racking your brains to make yourself better, maybe you are also making the world a better place.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi finished the training of 20,000 balls, he realized how good Rukawa Maple was.
Because in a game, he saw one of Ryuukawa Maple’s mid-range shots, this jump, this posture, this arc, surprisingly, was the most perfect picture he imagined in training.
He was angry, clenched this fist, and reluctant, he asked the coach: When did this fox start playing basketball?
Coach Anzai: You should keep a good eye on Ryuukawa Maple’s posture, imitate him as much as you can, and then train with 3 times the amount of training. That way, you can possibly surpass him within the high school level.
Ryuukawa Kaede is that rabbit, and fortunately, Sakuragi probably is too.
The confusion of the subject is that Sakuragi is a genius and still is, while you, probably, are just Kigure.
Lee Zongsheng has a song, the lyrics are like this: recently more annoying more annoying more annoying, I look at that distant how can not see the shore, that behind there is a class of geniuses to catch up, write a song of all happy, is more and more difficult.
The mid-life crisis is all like this: the front than you bullish people can not see the shore, behind a class of geniuses, more energy than you, smarter than you, more educated than you, more international than you. And you, children’s performance you have to worry about, wife eat secretary’s jealousy you also have to worry about, parents gradually worse health, the most terrible is your hair is getting less and less, the body is getting fat.
The subject’s confusion is that the one who is more genius than you, but also more effort than you; more terrible than the subject’s confusion is that the genius who is more effort than you, but also younger than you, than you have energy, which means that even if you want to work hard, you do not have that energy to work hard. This makes it even more powerless.
So, what can we do.
If you are an absolute idiot, then all I can say is, please try to know as little as possible about the world, and preferably never leave the place where you live in your life, sometimes the more you know, the more painful it is. When you see so prosperous city, so beautiful girl, so high-end atmosphere of life are not related to you, more pain will come.
If you are a fool, and refuse to work hard, then please know less.
If you are not an absolute idiot, and willing to work hard, please refer to the first paragraph of Mr. Anzai’s words: keep an eye on every movement of that rabbit, learn as much as you can, and then train with three times the amount of his training.
The rabbit will definitely snooze, even if the bull like Newton, after 30 years old, there is no more; nor does every genius like Kobe know what Los Angeles looks like at 4 a.m.; do you know Rock Lee? Naruto that believes that the dumb bird flies first hot-blooded teenager, he said, hard work genius is also a genius.
I once said in an answer that hard work, perhaps the most overrated virtue in the world. But for a person without talent, you can rely on only hard work.
So, even if you still can’t catch up with the hare, you can be the fast one in the tortoise.
In this way, even if you are Mugatu, you can make a Mugatu that is a little better than yesterday every day.
