This sentence was said by Li Xiaolai in Freedom of Wealth, and I firmly believe it.
Because this is in line with past experience, which is in line with the objective laws of things.
But the words are simple, but it is not easy to do.
First of all, what we are doing is not the right thing.
For example, reading is the right thing, but sometimes I just want to sleep in and play a game;
For example, modesty is something you should do, but sometimes you want to be arrogant;
For example, it is right to pay attention to your own growth, but sometimes you just can't help but brush your mobile phone, join in the fun and do nothing;
For example, it is right to be frugal and control expenditure, but sometimes it is just to show off, put on airs and be vain, and spend some money that should not be spent;
For example, going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health, but sometimes you just stay up late;
Second, it can't be done for a long time.
In the long run, this is a very difficult thing to do.
The great man said that it is not difficult to do a good deed, but it is difficult to do a good deed for a lifetime.
The same is true for personal growth. One day, two days, January and February may be able to do one thing right, but what about one year, two years, three years, five years, ten years, twenty years or even a lifetime?
Not only can it not be done, but it may take a long time. I'm afraid I've forgotten what is right. What should I do?
The deepest experience is learning English.
If a person insists on learning English, from primary school, middle school, to college, to youth and middle age, I believe he can certainly learn it, but who can insist? More is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
Of course, there are many correct things, not just learning English. Reading, studying, working, socializing, fitness, spending time and energy with family, leisure, entertainment and traveling are all necessary.
If you want to be a proficient English person, you must spend a lot of time learning English. Then you can't be a great musician or a great doctor or a great writer.
It is enviable to become an expert who is proficient in a certain skill, such as being a great agricultural scientist who is beneficial to the people like Yuan Longping, a medical scientist who relieves people's pain like Zhong Nanshan, or an athlete who makes contributions to the country like Lang Ping.
You can become a great professional expert in any industry, as long as you insist on doing the right thing for a long time.
But as an individual, due to the limited time and energy, the specific choice of what kind of business to engage in for a long time depends on your actual situation.
But some "* * * same subjects" definitely need everyone's time and energy.
For example, reading, such as fitness and so on. It is best to choose some general learning that can bring creative skills.
In the words of Mr. Li Xiaolai, it is the persistent study of knowledge with reproductive ability.
For example, reading, learning English well, learning psychology well and learning to invest.
For me, at least reading, fitness (health) and investment should be done as long-term correct things, which is a lifelong thing.
