Female writer Ai Xiaoyang said: "Life is a long investment, and all the counterattacks you see are the fruits of time." This sentence also applies to Lei who studied poetry 13 years. In 2004, he came across a book "Essentials of Poetry Writing" in the bookstore, which aroused his interest in poetry. From then on, he was obsessed with poetry, and this study was 13. Lei Haiwei goes to the bookstore every week to read books, select poems, and sometimes recite poems in the bookstore, and then write them down from memory when he gets home. In his spare time on the way to take delivery, Lei Hai recited a poem for everyone, and his poetic skills were accumulated bit by bit in his spare time.
The confrontation between Lei Hai and Peng Min is reminiscent of the duel between David and Goliath. Goliath was strong and wore thick armor, while David went into battle lightly. It seems that the strength of the two sides is very different, and the weak David has no chance of winning. However, when David chose to use string, the situation on the battlefield had been reversed. Being able to skillfully use ropes made David the leader of the duel. Similarly, for Lei who has accumulated 13 years, the field of poetry is his home, and it seems inevitable to win the championship unexpectedly. Many people only saw Lei, the little takeaway brother, but didn't see Lei covered in poetry books.
After Lei Hai won the championship, Dong Qing couldn't help praising him: "You not only defeated all your opponents, but also defeated yourself and life! You are a strong person in life! " As an ordinary person, how can we become a strong person? Many people want to be a strong man, even want to be a strong man over and over again, but after so many years, it is still the same. Not that I don't know how to be strong, but that I haven't really tried. Some people always say that they don't have time to read books or attend training, but they have time to brush their circle of friends, play games, watch the news or follow the drama every day.
Lei Hai became the champion of China Poetry Conference because he recited poems in his spare time every day, and poetry has become an indispensable part of his life. Lei Haiwei said: "No matter how busy your work and life are, you still have to squeeze time." In fact, it takes a lot of fragmentation time to deliver takeout. For example, Lei used it to learn poetry when merchants were waiting for meals, waiting for red lights on the road, and even riding a bike on the road. Regarding fragmentation learning, many people mistakenly think that fragmentation time can only learn fragmentation knowledge, which is difficult to form a system and will soon be forgotten. Actually, there is no fragmentation knowledge, only fragmentation time. Lei Hai's action tells us that we can learn systematic knowledge by making full use of debris time.
For ray, delivery is just a way to make a living, and poetry is what he really loves. Many people are dissatisfied with their jobs, their wages are too low, they are too tired to work, and they are too far away from home. They can find many such excuses. Work may be boring, but growth is pleasant. No matter what you are doing, you can't stop growing. Work is actually a platform for everyone to exercise their ability, and their ability should be exercised and improved by doing things. If you can sum up everything, then everything you do can bring you growth, which may be the fastest way to make progress. If you can't grow up at work, you are just selling your limited time. Sadly, as time goes by, only your age is growing.
If you want to be a master in a field, it is not enough to grow up slowly. You must grow faster than others, so that you can stand out. This is a competition of growth rate. The fastest way to grow is to compare with the master, not whether you want to compare with the master or not, but that you must compare with the master. To become a master, you must surpass the current masters and many potential masters. It is often said that the master is in the folk, because many people in every field are growing silently. For those who have become masters, what they lack is only a stage to show themselves. For Ray, the China Poetry Conference is his stage, and it is his stage to shine. When a person works hard to a certain extent, his light can't stop anyway.
How long does it take to become a master in a certain field and succeed in this field? In the field of poetry, Lei Hai/KLOC won the China Poetry Conference in 0/3. The popular 10,000-hour theory tells us that if you want to be a master in a certain field, you need to put in 10,000 hours of practice. In fact, this statement is not very accurate. Some areas may need more than 10000 hours, and some areas do not need 10000 hours. For example, it takes 20,000 hours of practice to become piano master. The key depends on the competition in this field. The more experts there are, the fiercer the competition will be. If you want to win, you must make more efforts.
The good news is that new fields will give new people opportunities. In a new field, everyone has equal opportunities, and at the same starting line, everyone is competing for who grows faster. For example, in the field of WeChat business that has risen in recent years, Kellogg has become the second brand of diapers in China in just over two years. For a traditional company, it takes 10 years of efforts. Many people only see the success of others, but they don't know that success is the fruit of time, so they fantasize that what they plant today will be harvested tomorrow, and finally they will be disappointed. We all know the allusions of dropping stones, but many people ignore that dropping stones needs the impact of years. Many people were shocked by sweeping monk, but you should know that sweeping monk's skill is accumulated in his life. Interestingly, Peng Min also called Lei Hai sweeping monk in China poetry circles, which shocked the Jianghu. Everyone wants to be a master, but would you like to be a lonely sweeping monk?
Would you like to be ray and the little brother who delivers takeout every day? Maybe you just want to be the award-winning Ray on the stage of China Poetry Conference. Lei is indeed a takeaway brother, but not every takeaway brother has learned 13 years of poetry. At first glance, the takeaway brother became the champion of Chinese poetry conference, which was unexpected, but you should know that there are millions of takeaway workers in China, and Lei is the takeaway brother who reads the most poems. But unfortunately, becoming a champion has little help to Lei's life, let alone poetry's help to his usual life. There is no denying that poetry is indeed the essence of China culture. Reading poetry books can improve a person's inner temperament, but it can't change the embarrassing life situation of a takeaway brother. That's probably why you don't want to be ray.
What kind of person do you want to be and what field do you want to succeed in? Do you want to be rich in heart or life? I believe many people will choose the latter, who doesn't want to improve their living standards through learning (except for the rich second generation of local tyrants). As long as you find the right direction and stick to it, I believe success will belong to you sooner or later. Many of Kellogg's agents started out as ordinary nannies. After continuous learning and growth, many people have grown into leaders of a team of thousands of people, achieving a double harvest of family and career.
From Lei, we can see that the influence of parents on children can not be ignored. Lei's father taught Lei Hai to read ancient poems since he was a child. He also wrote them down, pasted them on the kitchen wall and taught him to read. "At that time, my father wanted me to be an educated person and hide the mountains and rivers in my heart." Lei Haiwei said: My father planted a seed of poetry in Lei Hai's heart. After 13 years of irrigation, this seed has now blossomed with fragrance. However, this does not mean that parents should let their children recite poems from an early age, but should give them all kinds of experiences and children will find their own interests. Lei has never studied poetry since he was a child, but he really started to learn poetry in 2004. Many parents worry that their children will lose at the starting line, but their children's starting line is after their interests. What parents have to do is to help their children find their interests.
Many people are confused. Why do they know so much and still can't live a good life? If you don't combine the truth with your own experience, these truths will only be others' truths and will never be your own. The ancients said that thousands of books's trip to Wan Li Road was not only to learn knowledge, but also to experience it. More directly, it is "what you get on paper is shallow, and you never know what to do." The so-called cattle people are good at summing up experience, and rich experience is their food for growth. If you only see the truth summed up by others, but don't know the experience behind it, these truths can't be used for you. I believe many people have had this experience. After reading the same book for a while, there will be more updated experiences. The reason is that your experience in this field has increased, and the more you experience, the more you will understand.
When asked if I would use poetry in my life, Lei said, "When I experience the same or similar scenes as those in ancient poetry, the poems related to it will immediately emerge in my mind, so that I can more deeply understand the artistic conception of poetry and the author's thoughts and feelings, resulting in * * *". At these moments, Lei really realized those poems and became a part of his life. For example, when saying goodbye to friends, Lei Hai will sigh, "We waved goodbye, and my horse screamed again and again"; At the end of the activity, at the end of the song, Lei will sigh, "And I, a poor old man, don't know where to go. I have to sharpen my feet on the lonely mountain and go to disease and despair"; Come to the poetry conference, he will chant, "laugh at the sky and go out." Are we Artemisia people? " .
Why didn't anyone become an expert in 10 years? It seems that I have 10 years of experience, or I may only have three years of experience, seven years. Many people are only satisfied with experience, thinking that they have mastered the method of success by summing up experience. In fact, the deeper experience is the law, and the experience is limited by the conditions at that time, so it is difficult to mechanically apply it. If the preconditions change, experience will lose its function. The law is universal. If you can see the rules and sum them up, you can predict what will happen in the future according to the new conditions.
Excellence is a habit, which is to break down goals into daily actions and stick to them every day. If a person makes progress every day, assuming that there is a daily growth of 1%, there will be a 38-fold growth in a year. What if a person persists for two or three years and Lei persists for 13 years? In the field of poetry, he has grown into a giant and a big boss in the field of poetry. Some people play games every day, and have been pursuing customs clearance and playing Boss in the virtual world, but they will never become the big Boss in life.
Some people are making progress every day, while others are always standing still. The distance between people is widened in this way. Don't envy others' success, and don't worry about others. It is impossible to succeed in standing still. Today is the accumulation of the past, and the future is the accumulation of today. If you are not satisfied with the present, it is because you didn't work hard enough in the past; What kind of life do you want to live in the future? Work hard for it now. A hopeful person is calm, because he knows that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today. If you know your goal and the direction of progress, and you are moving towards your goal every day, you will also become a calm person, which is obvious to Ray. From the audition to winning the championship, Ray is very calm, which can be said to be unhurried. On the other hand, because of his impatience, rival Peng Min gave Lei Hai three copies, which made Lei Hai win the championship easily. I wish you find your goal and become a hopeful person.
Be a lifelong learner and become a progressive person. As long as you keep growing, your light will not stop one day. The more time you invest, the faster you will grow, and the shorter and longer it will take to reach your goal. Nothing can be achieved casually. If you want to succeed in a certain field, you must improve your ability. When your ability is strong enough, your knowledge of a certain field is deep enough, and your vision is wide enough, you can naturally see opportunities that others can't see. For Wang Jianlin, the small goal is 100 million, not that his small goal is too high, but that our realm is too low.
Your ability is the only asset whose growth rate can exceed the house price. Your ability will not fall, and the world will not be capped. Why not put all your energy into your own ability? This is a profitable investment opportunity, which belongs to everyone. If you don't know this, it will be difficult for you to become a good businessman and succeed. There is a simple reason. Businessmen are a group of people who are good at finding those assets that are undervalued, but you can't see this obvious and most valuable personal asset.
Everyone's life is like a river, some are rough, some are still water, but it will eventually flow into the sea. The difference is that the process in the middle is different, the scenery on the road is different and the experience is different. All roads lead to Rome, provided that you don't give up halfway. As long as you become an expert in a certain field, there will be ways to realize your own value, which is the opportunity given to each of us by the times. Maybe Lei Hai will be a teacher to teach poetry in the future, and maybe Lei Hai will publish his own poems. There are many opportunities, just see if you can see them and seize them.
Many people believe that "life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance", but they live with it every day and have never worked hard for poetry and distance. Poetry and distance have always been a distance. Are you living comfortably, or are you walking towards poetry and distance every day?
