Li Shanglong: You are either excellent or out!

There is a lyric in Mayday: If all human faces look the same, then the difference between you and others depends on how you live.

Yes, we often face such thinking: Do people have to be gregarious and be like others?

A young but experienced young man gave this answer:

In this ever-changing era, only those irreplaceable people can live a stable life, and only by doing their best can they live an ordinary life.

In this era, there is no middle option, either excellent or out.

This young man is Li Shanglong.

Millions of best-selling authors, domestic high-quality cutting-edge idols, young directors, screenwriters and co-founders of Cowom.

So many titles hang on this young man born in 1990.

Let's meet this high-quality new idol in China.

Li Shanglong won the Beijing champion and the national third place in the CCTV Hope Star English Style Competition. Decided to drop out of key military schools and join New Oriental; After studying in Beiying, the director's works were exhibited in Bona Studios and the Longying Tribe Studio was established. Together, we created a worm testing network.

On the road of continuous efforts, he has published millions of bestsellers, such as "You only need to work hard, you are so-called stable, but you are wasting your life", and won the titles of Dangdang 20 15 influential writer, Amazon China 20 15 cutting-edge writer, Weibo 20160 top ten influential cultural V and so on.

I learned in Weibo the other day that Li Shanglong has published his third book, You are either outstanding or out. As a fan, I placed an order without hesitation.

This is Li Shanglong's new work on 20 17, a book about the growth of young people.

This book still maintains Li Shanglong's pungent writing style. After reading every article, it is exciting and I can't wait to change my life immediately.

You either choose to be outstanding or you are forced to regret it. The biggest failure in life is not falling, but never running forward.

This is the source of the author's own life motivation.

In the process of growing up, everyone has the opportunity to choose their own life. There is a concept in economics called opportunity cost. Refers to the maximum benefit that can be obtained from other abandoned uses when a resource is used for a specific purpose. Therefore, opportunity cost is also called replacement cost.

This is what the author wants to tell his readers, his closest relatives and himself.

Sounds like a slogan. When the overwhelming chicken soup for the soul has gradually numbed people's nerves, some people may not like similar slogans.

I'll pick a few points that exist in most people, and I'll read them with you.

Most people in life are willing to be dull, thinking that those who succeed are those with super powers, which is an example. In fact, all outstanding people, all successful examples of outstanding people, are all two words without exception: diligence.

After resigning, being confused and too poor to pay the rent, Li Shanglong understood one thing: instead of doubting himself, it is better to cherish the present, and if he lacks talent, he will make up for it with diligence.

His diligence lies in that he filled a hard disk, broke several keyboards, wrote a dozen notebooks and used up dozens of barrels of pens.

Everyone has the habit of staying in a familiar environment. Once this comfort zone is established, it will be extremely dependent and unwilling to go out and see the outside world.

The real strong, when young, experienced vicissitudes, resolved the confusion, learned to be strong, and learned to heal. They can live anywhere, where is the comfort zone, where is their own paradise.

Get busy, the world is yours.

The author gave an example of going to a lecture with friends. When the teacher is talking, the friends next to him will take out their mobile phones and look at them every few minutes. Actually, no one is looking for him at all. He just looked at his circle of friends, brushed Weibo and gave others a compliment. He didn't listen to what the teacher said.

I believe many people have this experience. When you leave your mobile phone, you feel that a great thing has happened. It's like losing 5 million, and you slowly find that you can't see anything but your mobile phone.

This is actually the most popular disease at present, "mobile phone syndrome", which directly leads to the inability to concentrate and think independently.

We will have this experience, that is, follow the trend. They do what others do, no matter what they really need.

For example, reading is a waste if you don't ask yourself what you want before reading and see what information is useful to you.

We usually say that we are busy, and then we have to say, where has all the time gone?

Everything depends on time. Time is fair to everyone, there is no superman.

How to use time is an important aspect in order to widen the gap with others and stand out.

The book says: The time a person leaves work determines his height, and how he uses his free time determines how far he can go.

After work, you can choose to go shopping with friends, watch series and eat.

Similarly, after work, we can also choose to read books, learn professional knowledge, develop our specialties, and even run, keep fit and invest in ourselves.

A girl in the office stays indoors after work, holding a mobile phone, browsing WeChat, brushing Weibo and watching series, and often stays up until midnight. A lot of times, just get by. Three months, five months, six months and a year are all like this, and the whole person has no vitality, let alone any meaningful promotion.

The other girl is different. Get up early to run every day, go to work during the day, go to your interest class after work, and don't care about eating. Read and write at night to update the official account of WeChat. Life is busy and full, and I am full of energy every day.

Such a girl looks so pleasing to the eye.

Maybe I can't see the difference from others at the moment. I believe she will be different after a long time. Maybe in a long time, maybe in the near future.

We once quarreled with our family, friends and bosses and even torn our faces because we couldn't control our emotions. Later, I often regret it: why didn't I control myself at that time?

If only one person is casual, that is desirable. However, if it is a team work, there must be emotions.

There was once a colleague, a smart and professional guy. However, at work, I am lofty and conceited. I have always thought that I am irreplaceable and my organizational discipline is particularly weak. I'm either late or leave early.

Once he had a quarrel with his family, didn't come to work and turned off his cell phone. The sudden loss of contact with the project he was working on affected the progress of the whole team, and such a bad mood could happen anytime and anywhere before. All his bright spots are covered up by his bad mood, and the leaders who cherish talents will not give him another chance.

I believe that it will be a very troublesome thing for any unit or individual to meet such a super emotional teammate who is controlled by emotions all day. For a long time, no one has the obligation to tolerate everything about you, and the last thing to wait for is to be out.

The master of life will never let his emotions control him and then do something he regrets. They only control their emotions and become masters of life.

May we all live like this.

The author says that good friends are for trouble.

This sentence sounds a bit unacceptable. Why bother your friend?

When we meet something that needs to be shared, we sometimes wonder, if I tell this to my friend, will it increase his burden? In fact, when we bear these troubles alone, a true friend will feel uncomfortable, and he will think that he has lost his role as a friend. Similarly, when he is in trouble, he will not open his mouth to you again.

In this way, feelings slowly fade away, no worries, once girlfriends, so precious friendship, slowly fade out of life.

This is a book written by young people for young people, but I feel that everyone with dreams should read it. Because it is never too late to start chasing dreams. As the author said, give it to everyone who wants to live a rich and dazzling life.

Finally, in the author's words, do your own thing, keep your eyes on the goal at all times, and walk, and you will find that people who make progress every day will walk more steadily and see more.
