The price of cleverness

The price of cleverness. Everyone wants to be smart, and even more want to be the smartest person. However, do you know that cleverness comes at a price? Everything in the world has two sides, and cleverness is no exception. The following is a beautiful article about the price of cleverness!

The price of cleverness. Sometimes, I get confused. Some scientists study strange things. What is this for? What are you trying to tell us? For example, when I was reading in the library and reading sci-tech periodicals, I saw such a scientific research.

It is said that Canadian researchers have observed and studied a bird called the red-bellied grey finch and found that birds also have "differences between urban and rural areas". This kind of bird living in the city is more viable than their rural villagers.

Researchers captured some red-bellied finches from urban and rural areas of Barbados, a Caribbean island country, and asked them to challenge some tasks, such as pulling drawers containing bird food and distinguishing colors. The results show that birds in urban areas not only have stronger ability to solve problems than those in rural areas, but also have much stronger immunity.

Coincidentally, scientists have previously found that mice living in cities have 6% more brain capacity than their rural compatriots.

All this shows that things living in the city are generally smarter than those outside the city. The scientist didn't explain why. I did a random analysis. Although there are more natural enemies of animals in the vast world outside the city, they often encounter more terrible situations than those in the city. Therefore, their viability is stronger.

But what's the point? At most, I was walking in the noise of the city and suddenly saw a few birds flying over the gloomy sky. I thought, they are smarter than those birds outside.

Then, don't think about science, just think about reality. In reality, some birds live in cities and don't fly away. They must be as clever and more vital as scientists have studied.

But think about those birds in the countryside outside the city. They are not so smart, but their viability is hard to say, because it is related to their living environment. In this way, where do birds live more enviable?

I think most people will choose to envy the birds outside the city, because they are freer and the sky is wider. I would rather not be so smart than choose freedom and broadness.

At this point, we finally summed up a truth, but the truth is as simple as that. After all, we are not birds, and we can't give birds the decision-making power to choose their living environment. As far as we are concerned, are we sometimes a little proud, because it seems that we are better and better off than some people.

However, is it more often that we envy those free lives and those ordinary but happy people, but we don't have the courage to walk into that life?

So when I think about it, I feel that sometimes we are no different from those birds, so my troubles are more. In fact, our present life is not necessarily a shackle, but more likely our love.

What kind of life you live, what kind of life you love, don't compare, don't envy and be helpless, the little things around you are true. Don't think about being smart. Life may not have a price, but peace of mind is the real ability and wisdom.

The price of being smart Everyone wants to be smart and want to have a smart child. However, do you know that cleverness comes at a price?

Everything in the world has two sides, and cleverness is no exception. From the appearance, there is no doubt that smart people have an absolute advantage in social competition.

But in social practice, it has been proved that smart people have many shortcomings, which will be gradually reflected in their long-term life practice.

First of all, the biggest disadvantage of smart people is that they can seize the initiative in everything and can't concentrate on things. Smart people have flexible minds and broad horizons. In a highly competitive social environment, there are many opportunities for success. They do things easily and unconsciously have a sense of superiority. If they can do everything, they won't concentrate on a certain cause.

The author of Transition said: "God has given you unlimited opportunities, but only limited time, energy and talent, so the better you are, the more you should concentrate."

Successful people from all walks of life are obtained through unremitting efforts, diligence and hard work. Smart people are too easy to succeed, but they can't concentrate and make great achievements.

Second, smart people take the lead in everything and gradually form a greedy nature. This determines that he has an advantage in the personnel department and never loses. In the long-term work and life, the resistance on the way forward is gradually formed, which affects the success of the final cause. There is an old saying: "Suffering is a blessing!" There is still some truth.

Third, the advantages of smart people Life is too smooth and has not experienced too much tempering. Often lack a mature and steady personality, which is what people call "thick", has no personality charm and is not attractive to others, which is what the world calls "popularity".

Mencius said in the article "Born in Worry and Died in Happiness": "Therefore, heaven will be a great task for the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer their minds and work hard for their bones and muscles." How can we achieve great things without the baptism of stormy waves!

The reason why I write like this is not that smart people can't do great things. After all, intelligence itself is an absolute advantage, but if you don't improve yourself and thoroughly remould yourself from the ideological roots, you won't become a great tool and waste your mind and wisdom in vain.

I hope that smart people will take a warning in their life and work practice, constantly improve and enrich themselves, and let your cleverness bring you the glory of life.

The price of cleverness A friend I haven't seen for a long time has just returned from America. After the greeting, he will inevitably talk about what he saw and heard in America.

In the United States, many supermarkets will issue membership cards with a time limit. Moreover, many supermarkets stipulate that the first card opening is free, but the subsequent card will have to pay a handling fee when it expires.

Almost all Americans will renew their cards without hesitation, but this friend has found another clever way:

He asked to cancel the first card and then open a new one.

The supermarket staff were speechless in the face of their friends' wise demands. It's like meeting an alien, completely at a loss, at a loss.

In the end, there was no way, so the staff had to pay for the handling fee and renewal card for their friends.

When my friend finished this story, he patted his thigh and laughed his head off: "Do you think Americans are stupid?" ! "

Coincidentally. A friend who came back from a trip to Australia also told an equally interesting and intelligent discovery.

Australian police have a strong sense of universal service, and five characters with their own aura are often written on their faces: "Serve the people".

Over time, some savvy tourists in China have discovered a trick: as long as you ask the police for directions with a map, then look at them blankly, pretending that you don't know English and are at a loss, the police will take you to your destination with a police car.

Visitors who have tasted the sweetness for the first time come back and proudly write their own experiences as raiders and share them with everyone selflessly.

Many people have followed suit.

Over time, Australian police are always afraid when they see China tourists. Even many Australian policemen began to learn simple Chinese at their own expense.

In fact, in our life, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of these smart people.

They know the world well, are smart and smooth, and are also very successful in life. Everyone admires them and imitates them.

It is true that this kind of intelligence aimed at promoting "self-interest" naturally has a broad market. But have you ever thought: how much profit is this? What are the long-term benefits?

Over time, people's thoughts have undergone subtle changes, and our living conditions have also changed.

With money, we dare not buy things casually, because many things may be fake:

Clothes may be fake, mobile phones may be fake, diplomas may be bought in the street, marriage certificates may have ulterior motives, even food when hungry, medicine when sick, and these life-threatening things may also be fake. Finally, the feelings between people can also be false …

There are many seemingly absurd but true jokes circulating on the Internet:

To work in a unit, you need to prove that "your mother is your mother"; You are standing in front of you, you must issue a certificate to prove that you are still alive; It is also announced that to apply for a business license, you need to cover hundreds of chapters from beginning to end …

These things are so absurd, but they are real. Why? Because it has fertile soil for survival: we are all too smart!

Smart enough to step by step and guard against each other. A problem that can be solved in one sentence must require you to go through a long process, cover countless chapters and sign countless names.

Only when every link is perfect, once something goes wrong, we can have a perfect golden cicada, and we can sit back and relax and stay awake at night.

Wang Xifeng, the first clever figure in A Dream of Red Mansions, said: "The people in power are too clever, but they have missed Qingqing's life."

In fact, this is an accurate summary of many people who are too smart.

An old man fell in the street and someone helped him up. The old man benefited a lot from his conscience.

If it is profitable, someone will follow suit.

As a result, another old man fell on the street, and everyone dodged-an old man died alone in the street, watched by thousands of people.

Why is a person's society so bleak?

You are waiting in line, waiting for the subway, waiting for the bus to go to work, and then there are always smart people pouring in at the moment when the car door opens. Line up honestly, have no seats, don't get on the bus, be late, be scolded, deduct money and suffer.

Over time, you also learned to be smart.

As a result, there are always screams, curses and even fights in subways and buses during rush hours. "milking" is a matter of life and death!

Why is it so unbearable today when civilization is highly developed?

……

The root of everything seems that no one is wrong, but we are too smart.
