This paper is a summary and reflection on Zhou Zuoluo's "25 Thoughts on Personal Explosive Growth".
Zhou Zuoluo said, "Match point thinking is to miss small opportunities casually and seize big opportunities desperately."
Many people are similar to us ordinary people before success, but they are good at seizing opportunities and seizing them desperately when opportunities come.
Zhou Zuoluo talked about his personal experience. He was born in the countryside, with no connections and no resources. The only chance to change his fate is the college entrance examination, so he studied hard in a poor middle school and won the first place in the liberal arts in the school.
However, Zhou Zuoluo said that the college entrance examination is his only lever and will affect his later life. He wanted to make good use of it, so he chose to repeat it, and the next year he was admitted to Beijing with a score of 62 1.
This is the first opportunity he seized.
The second turning point in his life was when he was chatting with a friend while setting up a stall, and his friend recommended him to try new media. His friend took him to dinner with the editor of Entrepreneurship and thought he was nice. He said he could be recommended for an interview with Entrepreneurship.
So he worked hard to prepare and collect all kinds of information from Zhihu, Weibo and other channels. There are also dry goods for learning new media. He prepared carefully, and finally got my job on the official WeChat account, and seized the second key match point in life.
After I got the job, I tried my best to write and write, regardless of commuting, rest days and working days, and finally got angry with myself.
Zhou Zuoluo said: "For example, the opportunity I seized to be me actually changed a lot of people. With my background at that time and the efforts of most people, most people could not seize that opportunity. "
Therefore, when the opportunity comes, we must seize it desperately and don't give up easily after grasping it.
Buffett once said: "Good opportunities don't come often. Pies fall from the sky, please pick them up in buckets, not thimbles. "
So how can we seize the opportunity when the match point comes?
To form this habit from peacetime, "match point thinking" should be implemented in daily life. It is ok to make mistakes in some small things, but the key nodes must be done well.
So, before doing one thing, let's sort out what the key nodes are. Time and energy are not evenly distributed in everything, but focus on the key points and concentrate. Never drop the chain at a critical moment.
For ordinary people without connections and resources, it is more important to seize key opportunities that may change your life.
My excellent sister Shanshan is a typical example. An ordinary college student, because he saw and grasped the platform that his mother disdained actual combat, could work with hundreds of millions of traders in Fortune 500 companies such as General, Jiang and Asian Games Dada in less than half a year, and was personally guided and recognized by the founder. If she didn't seize this opportunity, how could ordinary college students come into contact with it?
Lao Wang said: "The wisest way to live is to strive to become a rising commanding height." And this rising face and body is the key opportunity in your life. If you catch it, you will follow the trend and realize the carp yue longmen.
As the saying goes, "standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly to the sky."
At ordinary times, we must cultivate our eyes and keen sense of smell. When others don't fully understand, we should seize the opportunity first, and when everyone understands it, it won't be called an opportunity.
