A friend told me about his recent puzzles:
He has been working very hard, moving forward step by step, and stepping up a step after a while; but over the past few years, suddenly one day he found himself and every step he was walking crowded with people, and everyone knows that there are just a few positions on the top of the pyramid, but they admire the height of the pyramid. Suddenly they are very frustrated and desperate.
This is the norm of life. I have two stories to tell him, and I can also tell all the people who are on the road. It would be nice if someone had told me this way.
TOEFLCompositionThere is an interesting question in the question bank: "Some famous sports stars or entertainment stars earn millions of dollars each year. Do you think they really have that high salary? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion ."
The figures that can finally stand on the top of the pyramid are not standing there in thin air, nor can they go one step by one. Almost no athletes like Liu Xiang
Yes-of course, more than one person has been hurt. For more than a decade, they did not know how many companions gave up and had to quit. In any system, not only does it need talent (if it does exist
), You still need to work hard, and you also need luck. In the end, only a few people reach the destination. What is the proportion of a few people? There is an old saying in China that "success will be a success ".
Among the numerous explanations that people can make a lot of money, there is a more reliable economic explanation: "countless people have paid the price (or" cost ") however, there were only a few people who failed to reach the end.
Finally, we finally reached the final point to get all of the benefits ." -- In fact, it seems that those stars do not actually make enough money, because more profits do not fall into their pockets, but are placed by them.
System to consume.
If ten steps are required from the start point to the end point, it may be about three or five steps. The first step is often not "difficult to start with everything" as the saying goes-in fact, many people are just confused
Step 1. Or, in the first two steps, it is often the most vigorous time, but I still don't know what is hard work. If we do go to Step 8, it will be difficult to give up, because the "sunk cost" is already very difficult.
Give up. The three or five steps are the hardest time, not so young, not so prosperous, knowing the hardships of life and the helplessness of the world, at the same time, I have some practical experience to provide
The reference serves as the basis for thinking, and is more confusing-because although there is more than nothing, there is less than enough information. There will always be an unknown, there will always be an accident, there will always be a lot of things that can't be clearly understood and cannot be understood-moving forward in the unknown needs
It takes a lot of courage.
Once we "Find another way out" in three or five steps, it is likely that the cost has been paid but there has been no gains. Without knowing it, we have become cannon fodder and think we are "still working hard ". Sometimes success is like moving from the South Pole
It is not important to go to the North Pole, because the starting point of the South Pole is "North" no matter where it is oriented. Wherever it is oriented, it will go to the North Pole in a straight line, and it is the shortest route. Afraid to walk
Because of "Confusion" and changed the direction, the distance will be extended, the direction is changed more, it may return to the starting point.
I told my friend that you are so uncomfortable because you just walked three or five steps and walked forward. You have to go seven or eight steps to see hope.
I often drink coffee. The brand is "Maxim", and it is packed in plastic strips. Each time one end is split and the powder is poured out, the first is the coffee, then the sugar, and the last is the coffee companion (or in reverse order ). How can we separate these powders through packaging? A little strange, right?
If you look for a capsule such as "kangtek", you will find that the particles of different colors are not mixed together, but the particles of the same color are together. How can we separate these powders through packaging? A little strange, right?
Canned beans are often seen in supermarkets in the United States. There are several kinds of beans in the canned glass bottle, the largest of which is the brown Brazilian beans. This kind of canned glass bottle looks nice on shelves, because that
Some beans are not mixed together, but a layer of each color. The largest brown Brazilian bean is always on the top. How can we pack beans of different colors?
Before Farming, farmers need to plow the land-remove the big stones from the farmland. However, the next year we had to plow it again, and we came up with a lot of big stones-where did these stones come from? Isn't it because it has been flushed?
Physicists noted this phenomenon in the 1930s S and named it the Brazilian nut effect ).
The explanation is very simple: Originally, different sizes of particles are mixed together. In the slight shock process, small particles will "sink" along the gap of large particles, as a result, large particles will gradually "float" up. (Recent
Years, more explanations began to appear, in addition to the size of particles, the weight and quality of particles, air between particles and other media are an important factor in the formation of this phenomenon ......))
Instant coffee, cold capsules, Canned beans are also the same, in the transportation process will be slightly affected, so slowly various particles are arranged by size layer by layer. The same is true for the farmland of farmers, with the rotation of the Earth and various kinds of crust activities, the "slight shock" is that the originally deep underground rocks slowly "float" to the ground ......
What is the inspiration of the "Brazil bean effect" in the personnel structure? As an individual in a system, it is like one of the numerous particles in the system. As long as a particle is large enough, it will inevitably "float"
"To the top, while other small particles will" sink "-because no system can be stable, there must be" shock ", the "Brazil bean effect" only requires "slight fluctuation ".
Therefore, as an individual in the system, the most important action is not to "Climb up", but to "concentrate on making yourself bigger", as long as "big enough ", it is possible to "naturally" float "to the corresponding location-just a matter of time. This is also one reason why I think "building a network of contacts is better than building myself.
Footnotes: of course, this is just an analogy, not exactly. Scientists have demonstrated through experiments that the container shape will affect the result of the "Brazil bean effect ".CubeBody, cylinder, or inverted circle
In a cone container, after a slight shock for a period of time, the largest particles will be in the top layer; however, in a cone (that is, the cone at the top of the Cone) container, eventually, the largest particles are at the bottom. If
Unfortunately, a person is in a container like this, so leave as soon as possible ......
