Countless applause, but I don’t understand life.
There is an episode I still remember. She was performing in a foreign country. After a long time, she always had to change and wash her clothes. She tried to go to the laundry room on the street. She couldn't communicate and was more than scheming. Finally, she sent the clothes to her hometown and let her sister finish washing. Send it to her. One day she said to her sister: "Did you know? Being a genius is very hard." My sister replied: "Being an ordinary person is also very hard."
Once, I thought that ordinary people's hard work only refers to firewood, rice, oil and salt, which is a more scarce economy, a lesser network of people, and a shorter insight. I was wrong. It may also include the feeling of being obscured by excellent people, the sense of ordinary powerlessness, and the discouragement of "this life is nothing more than this".
My daughter Xiaonian attended a TOEFL basic class during the summer vacation after Xiaoshengjun. The girl in the front row was half a head shorter than her, and she was quiet and quiet, but her parents were considering the tenth level for piano and tenth level for violin. The third musical instrument learning. Girls can play "Thunder and Lightning Polka" and have participated in many world-class chorus competitions.
The boys in the back row are very noisy. If they don’t rush to talk in class, they’re sleeping, otherwise they’re playing games. The teacher never criticized him. Soon Xiaonian learned that boys had participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad and the Olympic Games and won gold and silver medals. In addition, there are many people who can rock climbing, fencing, ice hockey, equestrianism, diving, figure skating...
At first, I enlightened her: "Let's not compare with those, and learn from others." However, most of the above-mentioned classmates are in the top fifty. I was exhausted, and in the process of raising a young year, none of the excellent skills that should be cultivated and the skills that should be practiced were not lost. But at this moment, she and I can see clearly: between good, good, excellent and excellent, there is a great moat, which is insurmountable and cannot be contended.
I want to encourage her to fly first, but this is not something that can be solved with hard work. Xiaonian asked seriously: "Mom, do you have enough money to send me to learn equestrianism?" I answered her carefully: "It's not about money. The racecourse must be very far away. I can't drive..." It's about money. , But I can’t admit it.
For a long time, I said to Xiaonian: The vast majority of people in this world are ordinary, depending on the level of ordinary. There is always a place where you lose. Even if you continue to the Olympics, you can't maintain your second championship. A generation of masters who are the only one in the world, there are also moments when they will leave the field sadly. There are specializations in the surgery industry, and there is a priority in receiving the industry. If you can't comprehend by analogy, why not pick one of your favorites and go deep into it?
There used to be a man who liked history and wanted to worship a teacher when he was young. The teacher refused and said, "You are too stupid." So the stupid man worked stupidly. For ten years, he only did one in his spare time. Event: Read through the "History of Ming Dynasty". In the end, he became a generation of Ming historians and wrote "The Fifteen Years of Wanli", his name is Huang Renyu.
The person who told me this story once was the top student in the college entrance examination, but now he is over fifty and he has achieved nothing. His emotion is: "A smart person who is knowledgeable and doing things will naturally pick the easiest. Everything is connected, and everything is half-hearted. But people who do big things need a little bit of insensitivity, need to be hard-hearted, and close to the outside world. Eyes, ears, nose and nose. "Yes, most people are not smart enough, but very few people are stupid enough.
