Put aside the "crash" thinking and take 10,000 hours to get the tickets you want.

In Taiwan, I am accustomed to spend less time and achieve great effect. Before the exam I cramming, find a job before the resume to rush, the last moment before the game spend a three days three nights training, then, the end of things, the results are always good (the test is also not bad, the interview also feel good, the game?) Judging from the different tastes, I can not control. So I use this mentality to continue to muddle along, always feel what things as long as I rely on a few weeks, up to one months of time efforts, there must be results ...

Many siblings think: I have spent a weekend full 48 hours to revise my resume! Why isn't it good enough?

I've spent one months applying for an internship every day.

I have been in the interview notice immediately began to prepare, intensive practice for a week, why not enough?

I have been reading this exam for two weekends, it should be no problem!

We all think that one weekend, one week, one months is enough.

But you know, the level of pay is really insignificant to the extreme.

I came to the United States only to find that the students here look at their own time is not the same attitude, especially in the job search. Their unit is not a few days, weeks, but a few "years." I saw countless sophomores writing their resumes early in the semester (the first edition they've spent weeks writing), plan your sophomore year what research needs to be done and what interview skills to develop (yes, in the face of a junior, they are starting to prepare!) , sophomore summer to the junior has begun to do intensive interview exercises, and began to senior seniors want to enter the company, began to find resources, contact elder sister.

Have you noticed that for each step they have a very long time unit, rather than like us, a weekend that feels great?

The students here are really popular with the "10,000-hour rule": it means that if you're going to be good at something, you have to pay at least 10,000 hours.

Another example of my roommate. She came from China and went to the United States to study in high school, and when I met her, she could not finish the offer: the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs in New York, small to a handful of the elite investment banks in LA, all of whom she had called every day to persuade her to choose their company. She has a very good English, beautiful body and hot, popular, friends all over the world. Oh, the result is also the top, is that their four years of the entire a queen (Mathematics double financial system!) This is not a mix of fun, but also with the professor in his spare time to do economic research, the name is also written on the monitors.

Outsiders See, is simply Super Life victory Group.

But let's pick up the sour people's mentality and see how they work hard. In the face of schoolwork she is not sloppy, from the beginning of the freshman she went to review the preview every day, because English is not good enough, she often spend another double time writing industry. Looking for a job she is more diligent: she did not smooth, on the contrary, in the junior year of the two years, she had no results. Despite the practice of the interview every day, has been active every day to contact elder sister, has put all the preparation of all the preparations, all the Yinianbanzai, senior that year she only got a not satisfied with the offer. So she bit her teeth, gave up the job opportunity, and decided to continue working for a year. She looked for internships from the beginning, and continued to go on with superhuman willpower. Six months later, she finally got a top investment bank internship, in the process of her positive performance, internship at the end, countless investment banks to her.

Over the past two years, she has experienced countless failures and setbacks, and she told me that she had been crying in the toilet for a long time every day. But after crying, you have to continue looking for work, reading, writing monitors, forcing yourself to face the next challenge with a smile.

In order to find a job, she sent more than 1000 emails (really, she opened her mailbox to show me), made hundreds of phone calls, interviews countless times. In the course of so much effort, she received five top offer. You think, two years, her chances of success is 5 per thousand!

And you think the interview exercise will go into McKinsey in a week.

Of course, you think my example is too extreme. You think you have a lot of life-winning groups around you, and it's really just a week of practice. You feel very unfair, you think this is the problem of resources, system, society. You think there's a lot of people who are sorry for you.

But what you don't know is the effort of these life-winning groups. Are they in class more serious than you? When you think about what you want to eat in the trance, do they concentrate on writing notes? When you superficial and use Facebook in class, are they trying to understand what they're learning and turn around in their minds? Are they going to do whatever they want, not like you, just talk? They are not usually active in the community, do project, training professional ability? When you try to give up for one months, are they still determined to move forward? Also, are they not executing more time and complaining less time?

There's really no such thing as a crash in the world. You envy the life of the Victory Group, their overnight success, are by the usual bit by bit accumulated. There are several common features of the Victory group: they are willing to roll up their sleeves to do, they are willing to think, they do not arbitrarily compromise, they will not try to give up after two months, they fail will not retract their small true happiness back to the circle, but after crying, continue to walk.

Several friends of my mainland students admitted to the Ivy League school PHD, they started with the professor to do research, in order to apply for three years after the effort.

Andrew, who was in my class, got an offer from McKinsey, BCG and Bain, and he practiced a case interview to a senior in a sophomore.

Siblings of the same school began to look for internships in their sophomore, and studied investment bank interview guides in order to enter the top investment bank's summer program for the junior summer holiday.

Countless students, with at least two years, three years of time for job search efforts.

And we are always accustomed to cramming a week to see results.

Around us, there are many self-study programs, self-study design, language Cram school, take time to develop various skills of people. They improve their abilities when you're giggling at YouTube videos. Then 10,000 or 20,000 hours later, they finally got the harvest.

And you are there acid, said they have more resources, said their parents more money, said they were born more intelligent, learning things for them is easy.

Do not deceive yourself, you and other people's differences, is that the rapid mentality of the change, is that lazy attitude, that is the habit of escaping the reality.

Quote a senior once said to me: "What everyone wants, if you do not have overwhelming ability and success, you can only use overwhelming efforts to fight." ”

Everyone wants a good job, a good salary, a good life ... There is no shortcut. A sentence of my God-man roommate always encouraged me: "Fiona,i worked my ass off for nonblank years! If you try to get the best offer for two months, I'm not a fool. ”

So, give yourself a lesson: Put aside the "crash" thinking and spend 10,000 hours exchanging the tickets you want.
