To make people progress, we must learn that stupid birds fly first. Why don't some people work hard?

I want to talk about my personal experience and story on this issue.

Since August, I have insisted on updating the dry goods about language learning and self-improvement. My articles have been liked by more readers and I have received many questions: "How to improve my spoken English?" "I haven't passed the third and fourth grades, and I have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. What should I do? "

Someone even asked me, "How did you learn advanced mathematics?" "Where does learning Japanese begin?" But I did learn German and French, but I didn't learn Japanese, but I replied that he started with five tones, then words, grammar and sentences. Never studied ≠ No, bookstore buying books, library borrowing books, online classes and offline physical classes are all ways to learn a new language. As long as you really want to do something, zero foundation can also get many ways to get started, but it takes some time.

Most readers expressed their anxiety and confusion in learning, hoping to get relevant opinions by consulting people in professional fields. It seems that you can get a "shortcut" to learn from professionals, which can lead directly to the other side of success.

However, the root of all the problems lies in oneself. Even if professionals give you advice, you don't practice it, and it's still the same in the end.

"There is no shortcut in this world." Everyone knows the truth. Why do many people still want to take shortcuts? Nowadays, too many people are eager for quick success, because they are afraid of hard work, fatigue and detours, and they can succeed without experiencing any setbacks and hardships.

Everyone is 24 hours a day. I must work, eat and sleep like you. In addition, I have to spend 2 hours writing an article every day +30 minutes typesetting, looking for pictures, 10 minutes checking and proofreading, and also take time to reply to messages and questions from readers on various platforms.

I cook, study, exercise, read, take photos and play the piano every week ... Everyone wants to have a good rest, play games and watch TV plays to relax after work. Only by relying on the powerful "time management+execution+self-discipline" and strictly implementing your daily plan can you ensure that you are not lazy and will not give up easily.

Some people will think that I am very inspired and talented, and I can keep writing every day. What you don't know is that in fact, more often, I am forcing myself to write, practice writing and keep a diary ... I dare not stop, as long as I stop for a few days, people will become lazy. I am also very tired after work every day, and there are many things waiting for me to do. After graduation, I never asked my family for money. To rent a house to eat in a strange city is also under great economic pressure.

But I don't want to take shortcuts. Earn hard if you have no money; When you don't have time to study, review where you spent your time, and then plan your time again. Complaining is the most useless, it can't solve the problem, and it also delays your time to become excellent.

If you want to be excellent, you have to spend time on self-improvement.

First, start by putting down the phone.

Opium used to be people's spiritual food, but in 2 1 century, it was a mobile phone. Every time friends get together, everyone will look through their mobile phones for fear of missing a phone call or a message, but they don't know that this rare face-to-face communication is the most valuable.

When writing, reading and studying every day, the mobile phone is set to vibrate and WIFI/4G is turned off. During this time, I concentrated on doing one thing until it was finished.

Others will call me directly if they have something urgent, and those messages that are not urgent can be answered one by one after I finish my study. Don't worry about whether the other party will understand. A mature person will think of each other and know that not everyone has to reply to messages anytime and anywhere.

I take time to watch some news every day to keep pace with the times and understand the dynamics of the world. However, the frequency of brushing the circle of friends is very low, which turns off the function of the circle of friends and opens it only when it is needed occasionally.

Second, time management.

Many readers are curious about my time management.

I have formed the habit of doing things every day, so I won't list them separately in the book of time management, because they are deeply imprinted in my mind. Write down some things to do the next day in the evening, and then leave a blank for other temporary things.

I am not the kind of person who is precise about what to do every minute, but I have been managing myself for a long time and I know what to do at any time. But I never drag my feet, and I will try my best to finish what I promised others. And every week, I will set aside friendship time to communicate with my friends and enhance my feelings. I have always believed that it is visible where time is spent.

Third, invest in self-study.

Excellence is also the fastest way: spend money and time on your own study.

Buying less clothes and cosmetics will not affect your quality of life. On the contrary, you can get more by investing money in your studies. Of course, it is not three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but long-term study. If your academic performance is not good, then report to the class to improve your performance and get the relevant certificate; If you want to be a writer, keep writing every day and let readers see your articles; If you want to get a promotion and raise your salary, you should re-examine what abilities you still lack, and then try to make up for them.

If you want to learn something, learn it quickly. If you have a plan, do it. Don't delay or make excuses. /kloc-after 0/8 years old, everyone is an adult. No one forces you to study, but you have to force yourself to move forward.

If you are willing to invest in yourself, you will get more returns in the future. The money you put into your own study now will double in a few years.

Fourth, give up looking for shortcuts and focus on what you can do.

When I first wrote, I never thought that I could make a living from it many years later, but I was just interested in writing. My Chinese teacher told me that persistence is the enemy of most people, but as long as you learn it, you can become an excellent person. So I keep a diary, read books and take notes. The knowledge accumulated in the past has helped me to become better and better.

The schoolmasters I know in university never seek experience and dry goods everywhere. Instead, use the learning tools around you to teach yourself when you can, and ask the teacher targeted questions when you encounter problems you don't understand. Now they have become outstanding people in various fields and continue to study what they like. Moreover, in the process of their learning from small to large, there has never been the word "shortcut", there is no smart schoolmaster, only you who don't work hard enough.

The biggest fear is "your talent can't keep up with your ambition, and you won't work hard."

Fifth, it is best to act.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as you act, you are not afraid of anything. When I just graduated, I reported German, but my relatives around me blocked me in every way, saying that it was useless to learn German. I might as well spend my time studying German and reading books on civil service examinations. I don't care about the noise of the outside world, but only listen to my inner choice: I just want to take action while I am young and learn more knowledge that interests me.

What happened afterwards? I am getting better and better, learning more knowledge and applying it to my life, and getting more recognition by my own ability. When I took action to update dry goods articles on various platforms, I was very happy to see my carefully written words, which brought warm power to readers on the other side.

No one else is stopping you from becoming excellent, only you.

If you want to find a shortcut, you will find there is no shortcut in the end. On the contrary, those who are slow and steady from the beginning make great strides in the process of finding shortcuts.

If you don't work hard now, you will regret it in the future. Sooner or later, you'll have to pay back the muddling along.
