What if the rabbit runs like hell and the tortoise runs?

Some time ago, there was a question on the Zhihu: If rabbits are running hard, what gives you the motivation to move forward as a tortoise?

In this world, there will always be some people better than you, no matter what. If you compare life to climbing, maybe you can reach a certain height all your life, but for some people, Everest is not a problem. In this regard, some people choose to quit the competition, calmly deal with it, and spend their leisure time halfway up the mountain; But some people keep going up. If you are the latter, what is your motivation and significance when you know that you can't reach the top? How do you keep motivated? This is a problem that everyone will encounter when they grow up to a certain stage. The feeling of helplessness may continue to ferment at that point. What do we need? Where is our goal? And the following answer, which is recognized by nearly 10 thousand people, hopes to pull us back to the runway where we can see the sunrise.

Recommend it to you!

What should the rabbit do if it runs like hell?

A/Yu Yiduo, Comrade Tang Yan.

I think everyone's growth experience will be more or less shrouded in "inferiority complex". I am a person who has always been obsessed with the "loser" complex.

When I was a child, physical education class was too fat to lift his head in front of his classmates. Moving to a big city, because of accent and introverted personality, has become a punching bag for all boys in the class; When I arrived in high school and entered the experimental class of science in the whole province, I realized that the IQ of some schoolmasters was beyond my reach in my life. Just arrived in the United States, was considered FOB by my classmates, a hillbilly from a third world country; Incorporating into the so-called world famous schools, I saw a large number of Bo Niu people around me and fell into mediocre depression; I finally squeezed into Wall Street in New York and saw the so-called "essence" of the selection of famous schools before I began to face my own lack of comprehensive ability;

Back in Hong Kong, many investment bank colleagues around me are far superior to me in business and interpersonal skills, and can only survive in a high-pressure environment; After transferring from Party B to Party A and starting to invest in PE, only when you sit at the same table with Soros's son can you deeply understand the significance of "family background" and "winning at the starting line" to a person.

From foreign capital to state-owned enterprises, I began to see what the mainstream players in the system were playing and realized how ridiculous it was to inflate all kinds of ungrounded bubbles in the marginalized foreign capital environment. Then I began to get in touch with the strong players in the financial fields such as insurance and banking, and I realized what I was doing with ten times or a hundred times as much money as my original small pond in the whole financial map.

I shared the above paragraph. In fact, what I want to say is the following:

Just like teacher talich gave me before I went to Stanford to study: I don't expect to be a cow when I get there, but at least you know how wide the sea is and it's enough to see what the cow is doing.

For the tortoise, the significance of the existence of rabbits is at least to let it know that there are "rabbits" in this world and how fast rabbits can run. Steal a slogan: let you see the bigger world, which is the greatest significance in itself.

The existence of rabbits can make turtles face the fact that they are turtles. Only when you are brave enough to face your true self can you accurately locate your position and calmly think about the life plan that suits you best. And this, in many cases, is precisely the easiest to know.

In fact, the farther you go, the more deeply you will realize the insurmountable nature of "class". When you are angry, you will curse: "Fuck this world, how is it so unfair?" But when you are no longer carried away by hormones, maybe you will start to think: in this case, what should I do? When you rack your brains to make yourself better, maybe you are also making the world better.

Only after Hanamichi Sakuragi completed the training of 20,000 balls did he know how powerful Rukawa Kaede was.

Because in a competition, he saw an investment shot of Rukawa Kaede, and this jump, this posture, this arc, turned out to be the most perfect picture he imagined in training.

He was angry and clenched his fist, but he was unwilling. He asked the coach: When did the fox start playing basketball?

Coach Anxi: You should pay attention to Rukawa Kaede's posture, imitate him as much as possible, and then train with three times his training volume. Only in this way can you surpass him in high school.

Rukawa Kaede is a rabbit. Fortunately, Sakuragi is probably the same.

The puzzle of this question is that Sakuragi is a genius, but still so, and you, maybe just Jiang Mumu.

Jonathan Lee has a song, and the lyrics are like this: I have been very annoyed recently. I can't see the far shore, and there are a group of geniuses behind. It is getting harder and harder to write a happy song.

Midlife crises are all like this: people who are better than you in front can't see the other side at a glance, and the geniuses behind are more energetic, smarter, more educated and more international than you. And you, you have to worry about your children's grades, your wife's jealousy of the secretary, your parents' health getting worse and worse, and the most terrible thing is that your hair is getting less and less and your body is getting fatter.

The puzzle of the subject is that people who are more talented than you work harder than you; What is more frightening than the puzzle of the topic is that the genius who works harder than you is younger and more energetic than you, which means that even if you want to work hard, you have no energy to work hard. This is even more powerless.

In Dwelling House, Song Siming wants to rob Guo Haizao. He is more mature and steady than Beckham, understands girls' minds and looks good; He has money and connections, and can help algae solve problems.

If Song Siming is unmarried, what will Beckham fight with others? Even if Beckham tries his best, he may never reach the height of Song Siming.

This is powerlessness.

So, what can we do.

If you are an absolute idiot, then I can only say, please know as little as possible about the world, and it is best not to leave the place where you have lived all your life. Sometimes the more you know, the more painful it is. When you see that such a prosperous city, such a beautiful girl and such a high-end life have nothing to do with you, more pain comes.

If you are an idiot and refuse to work hard, please know less.

If you are not an absolute idiot and are willing to work hard, please refer to Mr. Anxi's first paragraph: stare at the rabbit's every move, learn as much as you can, and then train with three times his training volume.

Rabbits will definitely take a nap, even if they are as awesome as Newton, they will not achieve anything after they are 30 years old; Not every genius like Kobe knows what Los Angeles is like at four in the morning. Do you know Locke Lee? I believe that a stupid bird flies first, a hot-blooded teenager in Huo Ying, said that a genius who works hard is also a genius.

A genius who works hard is also a genius.

I once said in an answer that diligence may be the most overrated virtue in the world. But for a person without talent, the only thing you can rely on is diligence.

In this way, even if you still can't catch up with the rabbit, you can be the fastest among the turtles.

In this way, even if you are Jiang Mumu, you can create a better Jiang Mumu than yesterday.
