[To encourage myself] the scene of Harvard University half past four AM

Perhaps this once again proves that everyone is not aware of every success.

Harvard often tells students that if you want to be comfortable and get the comments you deserve at any time and on any occasions after entering the society, during your study at Harvard, there is no time to bask in the sun.

As a world-famous University, Harvard University has trained many celebrities, including 33 Nobel Prize winners, 7 American presidents, and professional elites from all walks of life. What makes Harvard the cradle of elites? What kind of spirit and philosophy did Harvard students accept? These questions attract thousands of people to explore their answers.

The 20 words on the wall of the Harvard Library seem to have given the answer. Just a few words, leading to deep thought and inspiration.

20 articles from the Harvard Library:
1. nap at the moment, and you will dream; while learning at the moment, you will dream.
2. Today, when I am ruined, is the day of tomorrow that the man who was alone prayed.
3. When I think it is too late, it is exactly the first time.
4. Do not drag today to tomorrow.
5. the pains of learning are temporary, and the pains of not learning are lifelong.
6. Learning about this is not a lack of time, but a lack of effort.
7. Happiness may not be ranked, but success will be ranked.
8. learning is not all about life. But what else can we do if we can't conquer a part of our lives-learning?

11. No one can succeed at will. It comes from thorough self-management and perseverance.
12. Time is passing.
13. The drool will be the tears of tomorrow.
14. Learn as a dog and play as a gentleman.
15. Don't leave today. You have to run tomorrow.

19. Even now, the opponent keeps turning pages.
20. If there is no difficulty, nothing can be obtained.

 

Now nap, you will dream; and now learning, you will dream
Harvard often tells students that if you want to be comfortable and get the comments you deserve at any time and on any occasions after entering the society, during your study at Harvard, there is no time to bask in the sun. A widely-spread motto in Harvard is "learning, learning, and learning after busy autumn ."
People have limited time and energy. Therefore, they need to take advantage of time to study, rather than spending all their spare time on sleep.
Some people may say this: "I just have a nap in my spare time. Why do I get so nervous in my spare time ?" Einstein once proposed: "The difference between people lies in their spare time ." One of my friends who taught at Harvard also told me that as long as you know how a young man spends his spare time, you can predict the future of the young man.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a difficult problem in the field of mathematics, that is, whether the result of power 76 of 2 minus the result of 1 is the prime number that people guess. Many scientists are trying to overcome this mathematical difficulty, but the result is not as expected. In 1903, at the New York Institute of Mathematics, a scientist named Cole successfully proved the problem through convincing computational arguments.
In addition to the surprise and praise, people asked COLE: "How long have you spent on this topic ?" Cole replied: "Sunday in three years ."
Likewise, Canadian Medical educator Osler is a model of achievement in his spare time. Osler's greatest contribution to humans is the successful study of the third type of blood cell. In order to squeeze out time from his busy work, he had to read 15 minutes before going to bed. No matter how busy it is, stick to this habit. He insisted on this habit for half a century. He had read more than 1000 books and made remarkable achievements.

Today, when I am ruined, it is the day that the man who turned around yesterday prayed.
The world-famous founder of The johnkins school, Professor of lectures at the School of Medicine at the University of Oxford, and William, who was named Sir by the king of England. Osler was confused about his future when he was young. Once, he saw a sentence while reading, which gave him great inspiration. This sentence is "The most important thing is not to look at the vague aspects of the distance, but to do things clearly at hand ."
In this regard, Harvard reminded students that "I Am a waste of today, it is the tomorrow that the people who turned around yesterday pray ". It would be better to seize the current day and do more practical work tomorrow.
Benjamin, an inventor and scientist who earned an honorary degree from Harvard University. Franklin once received a call from a young man asking for advice and made an appointment with him about the time and location. When the young man came about, Benjamin's door was wide open, and the house was messy and messy. The young man was surprised.
Without waiting for him to speak, benjamin said, "Look at my room. It's so untidy. Please wait for a minute outside the door. I'll clean it up. come in again ." Benjamin then gently closed the door.
In less than a minute, Benjamin opened the door again and enthusiastically pushed the young man into the living room. At this time, the young man's eyes showed another scene-everything in the room had become orderly, and there were two glasses of red wine, with a microwave in the faint aroma.
While the young man was surprised and did not tell Benjamin any difficult questions about his life and career, benjamin said politely, "Cheers! You can leave ."
The young man holding the wine glass suddenly stunned and said with a trace of embarrassment and regret: "I haven't asked you yet ......"
"These ...... Isn't it enough ?" Benjamin smiled and looked at his room and said, "You have been in for another minute ."
"One minute ......" The young man said thoughtfully, "I understand. You have made me understand that you can do many things in one minute, which can change the profound principles of many things ."
Cherish every minute and every second, and cherish what we have today. Harvard actually reveals a philosophy of life, that is, to grasp the time with a cherished attitude, starting from today and starting from now.

When it is too late, it is exactly the first time
Amman was once an engineer at the New York Port Authority and retired as required after many years of work. At the beginning, he was quite lost. But he was very happy because he had a great idea. He wants to create his own engineering company and wants to open the office building to every corner of the world.
Amman began to implement its own plan step by step, with the design of buildings distributed all over the world. Over the past thirty years after his retirement, he has been practicing bold and novel designs that he has no chance to try at work, constantly creating one or more world-renowned classics: ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa Airport, Washington's dalus airport, Iran expressway system, the Central Building Group of the fort, Pennsylvania ...... These works are often used as examples in textbooks of the University's Department of architecture and engineering, and are also a witness to the great dream of Amman. At the age of 86, he completed his final work-the longest hanging public bridge in the world at the time-the vilazano Bridge in New York.
Many things in your life are like this. If you are willing to start, recognize your goals, and make up your mind to do one thing, it will never be too late.

Don't leave today, run tomorrow
At Harvard, Professors often remind students to manage their time and list the following examples:
Glauford, president of Dupont, the largest chemical company in the world today. Green Watt, takes an hour every day to study the hummingbird and uses a dedicated device to take a photo of the hummingbird. An authority calls his book on hummingbirds an outstanding work in the Natural History series.
. Black had no higher education before entering the US parliament. He spent an hour every day in his busy schedule to go to the Library of Congress to read a group of books, including books on politics, history, philosophy, and poetry, that is, it never stops working in the busiest days of Parliament. Later, he became a judge of the U.S. Supreme Court.
A Greek elevator repairer named Nikola is very interested in modern science. He spends an hour studying nuclear physics before dinner after work every day. With the accumulation of knowledge, a thought jumped into his mind. In 1948, he proposed a new particle accelerator program. These accelerators are cheaper and more powerful than other types of accelerators at the time. He submitted the plan to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for testing and improved it, saving the United States $70 million. Nikola received a $10 thousand reward and was hired to work at the University of California's radiation lab.
On the road of life, you stop, but someone is desperately trying to get on the road. Maybe when you stand, he is still chasing forward behind you, but when you look back, you can no longer see him, because, he is already in front of you, and now you need to catch up with him. Therefore, you cannot stop or go forward.
Learn as a dog and play as a gentleman
We say we should cherish the time and strive to work hard to achieve our ideals. But we must pay attention to the fact that we should not just work hard, but also have a moderate rest and relaxation. In this regard, Harvard has a very apt saying that "A dog learns the same way and a gentleman plays the same way ". Although it is a bit vulgar, it reveals a profound truth.
At Harvard, although the learning intensity is very high and the students are under great learning pressure, they do not advocate that students spend all their time learning. They believe that they should do their best to learn and play. Harvard students also said that Harvard's after-school life is better than formal learning. Harvard also realized that appropriate extracurricular activities would not only deviate from the educational mission, but also provide support for the educational mission. Therefore, they proposed to play like a gentleman ".
At Harvard, students not only study hard, but also participate in a variety of art activities organized by the school, such as concerts, dramatic performances, dance performances, and various art exhibitions, harvard holds an art festival every year to make students active in their spare time. These activities, full of strong artistic atmosphere, not only enable students to receive art education and edification, but also improve students' artistic accomplishment and aesthetic ability.
Harvard's philosophy is to require you to be able to forget them for the time being after intense study and work, as you can play and relax as you do at work. Indeed, when you are at your leisure, the restoration of physical strength and energy will add endless impetus to your struggle in the next stage. Therefore, on the way forward, you must not only work hard, but also learn to relax.

The stream of saliva will be tomorrow's tears
Success and comfort cannot have both sides. If you choose one, you will surely give up another ending. As Harvard reminds us: the saliva of today will be the tears of tomorrow. If you do not work hard today, tomorrow will surely suffer.
My neighbor Charles spent four years at Harvard. He now works for a software company in New York and is the best administrative specialist. He is a 9-9 reader. Not long ago, his company was merged by a French company. On the day of signing the merger contract, the new president of the company announced: "We will not cut off employees at will, but if your French language is too bad and you cannot communicate with other employees, then, no matter how many senior people are, we have to ask you to leave. We will take a French test this weekend. Only those who pass the test can continue to work here ."
After the meeting, almost all the people turned to the library, and they realized that they had to learn French quickly. Only Charles went home as usual. His colleagues thought he was ready to give up the job. After all, harvard's background and corporate management experience will help him easily find another good job.
However, what everyone cannot think of is that, after the test results come out, this person who has no hope in everyone's eyes has scored the highest score. It turns out that after Charles graduated from this company, he found that there were a lot of opportunities to deal with French people at work. If he didn't know French, his work would be greatly limited, he started to learn French for a long time. He keeps learning every day by taking advantage of all the time he can use, and finally learns something.
At Harvard, you never see students being lazy and spending time. When I think back to my dreams a few years later, I hope to bring you an endless smile, rather than tears of regret.

People who invest in the future are loyal to reality
As a world-renowned institution, Harvard places great emphasis on Investing in the future with a long-term vision. To invest in the future, you must set the future investment direction, that is, set your life goals as soon as possible. If there is no goal, we cannot talk about development, let alone success.
Harvard University once conducted a follow-up survey targeting a group of young people with similar intellectual, educational, and environmental conditions. The survey results show that 27% of people have no targets; 60% have vague targets; 10% have clear but short-term targets; and 3% have clear and long-term targets.
In the years to come, they will go on their own journey of life. 25 years later, Harvard once again tracked this group of students. The result is as follows:
3% of people, who have made unremitting efforts in one direction over the past 25 years, have almost all become successful people from all walks of life, including industry leaders and social elites. 10% of people, their short-term goals are constantly achieved and become professionals in various fields. Most of them live in the middle and upper layers of society. 60% of them live and work securely, but have no special achievements, almost all of them live in the middle and lower layers of society. The remaining 27% of people have no goals in their lives and have a bad life. They often complain about others and society. Of course, they also complain about themselves.
In fact, the difference between them is that, 25 years ago, some of them knew what they were most trying to do, while others were not clear or clear. This survey vividly demonstrates the importance of defining life goals for Life Success.
