Success and Failure

After reading "heterogeneous", I realized that success was not as simple as I thought.
I know this book because of the 10 thousand-hour law, which means that a person can become an expert in a certain field if he insists on focusing on a certain field for 10 thousand hours. This theory gives me confidence that as long as I stick to it for ten years, I may be able to fulfill my dream. Compared with the whole life, ten years are not much. My views on success have been changed after two days of intermittent reading.
When talking about the Matthew Effect in the beginning, you have to give it to him. If you don't have it, you have to take it from him. Because this is from the New Testament Matthew, this effect is called the Matthew effect. For example, a simple and delicious Chestnut, the better the students, the easier it is to get better resources and thus become better. The author first talked about the relationship between the birth month of a good team member and revealed that success actually has a lot to do with the birth month, which depends largely on the selection time of the region, in China, you may find that a large part of the college entrance examination exams are just a few months after the college entrance examination. To put it bluntly, we talked about some very successful people in the computer age, such as Bill Joey jobs, who revealed that their success was related to opportunities. They were born around 65 years ago, their growth is just in the wave of computer development. Now, not all the Internet bosses are starting from the wave of the Internet! If they were not born in this age, their names would not be well known.
Then there is the well-known 10000-hour law. The book points out: "The reason why the talents in people's eyes are extraordinary is that they have made continuous efforts instead of being super talented. After 10 thousand hours of training, anyone can change from ordinary to extraordinary ." He called this "10 thousand hour law ". It takes 10000 hours to become an expert in a certain field. The proportional calculation is: If you work eight hours a day and five days a week, it takes at least five years to become an expert in a field. This is the 10 thousand-hour law, which is also the core concept in the book.
We generally think that smart people must be more promising. This book reveals this misunderstanding. Maybe you want to achieve something in a certain field. The first condition is that you cannot be too stupid, but the smarter the better? In fact, it is said that Einstein's IQ is 150, and there are many people in the world with higher IQ than him, but it can be said that almost all people have achieved far worse than him. The higher the IQ, the less obvious the advantage it brings, similar to the marginal effect. There are a lot of examples in the book to illustrate that IQ is not a decisive part of success, but normal IQ is essential. The book talks about a few very high IQ people, but they have not achieved much in their life. A large number of data surveys show that even if a person has a high IQ, its future development will be largely influenced by its parents and environment. After reading this, the environmental impact is the most important.
The first part will be successful, and the second part will be about failure. Successful people all have the same success, and failed people each have their own failures. As an example in the book, failure is sometimes the accumulation of various small problems, which leads to qualitative changes. The importance of the environment is explained again, which is contrary to the "Adversity outgrows talent" in our traditional ideas. I think the possible reason is that, in the face of adversity, people are often used as news, or even post-dinner talks, so that they are more familiar with them, therefore, we are given a mentality of increasing talent in adversity.
The three factors proposed in the book are environment, personal efforts, and opportunities. In our traditional ideas, efforts are often put first, ignoring the environment. In middle school, we tried our best to test a good school. Soon, we valued the good environment of a good school! Nowadays, many parents only know how to urge their children to work hard, but they cannot set an example. They do not smoke, drink, and grow up in such an environment !!
