Kang Hui, a well-known anchor of CCTV, wrote in the book Average Score that it would be difficult to seize the opportunity to work in CCTV, let alone improve myself, if it were not for the solid foundation laid by devil training in college.
Taking stock of my past experiences, I was unfortunately tested like a devil. Looking back on my mood at that time, I felt trapped in the dark and never saw the light. Specifically, dreaming of "ghost pressing the bed" at night makes people feel suffocated, but their limbs can't move. The fear of powerlessness is worrying.
But it is precisely because of this devil's encounter that some people have realized the counterattack from loach to fish, and then from carp to dragon. So, when you are unfortunately tested by the devil, please cherish it.
Successful people always downplay the once difficult journey, because they have sublimated from it and will never return to the "tragic" past. But it will make us fall into a misunderstanding when exploring the future, thinking that they have experienced so many difficulties. As long as they work hard and persist, they will certainly succeed.
In fact, it is difficult for many people to replicate their success. They wonder: I have read so many inspirational books and done what they have done, but it is so difficult. How can I not insist? Then, in order to paralyze ourselves, we came to the conclusion of fortune telling: those successful people are gifted and doomed to be arrogant in their lives.
In this world, there are people with higher talents than ordinary people, but they really only account for a very small number, which is almost negligible compared with the total number of people on the earth. However, why do successful people account for 20% or more of the total number? So the conclusion of fortune telling is untenable.
In fact, after we are born, we all have the same attribute: ordinary people. But why some people can take the lead and realize their ideals is because ordinary people are doing extraordinary things, and there is only one path: "Stupid birds fly first."
Andy Lau is a typical example. Recently, his live broadcast of "Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of His Debut" in Tik Tok attracted more than 654.38 billion online viewers, creating the history of Tik Tok.
A person can be popular for forty years! What does Andy Lau depend on? Bottom line: Turn your efforts into habits.
Andy Lau's career is not smooth sailing. I remember that after he became famous, his acting skills were single and unbreakable, and he met a powerful opponent-Tony Leung Chiu Wai. In the competition with Tony Leung Chiu Wai for best actor, he is always the loser, and his acting skills have become the focus of media attacks and doubts.
Andy Lau experienced the darkest moment of his acting career, but he thought that his qualifications were average, and only through hard work could he catch up with others. So he began to calm down and ponder acting skills, began to choose scripts and try different types of roles, including villains. In the end, Andy Lau won six best actors with his increasingly exquisite acting skills.
Speaking of self-discipline, it is not tempered by self-will, but actually created in the initial stage through "being pressed" and "being forced".
Shortly after the Tokyo Olympic Games, China won 38 gold and 32 silver 18 bronze, which left too many deep impressions on the field: Su, 32, got the best score of 9.83 seconds, and 14-year-old won the gold medal in the 10 meter diving with high scores, and Gong won the gold medal in the China Olympic Games as the first place in shot put. ...
"One minute on stage, ten years off stage" is not an exaggeration to describe the devil-like training of Olympic athletes. I have seen the training documentary of the national team, which is really cruel. I believe that when they first entered the national team, they were not trained by internal driving, but were absolutely forced.
Olympic athletes returned to China for isolation, and their "isolation diary" suddenly boarded a hot search.
In the small isolation room, there is no formal training equipment and venue. Quan Hongchan practiced diving in bed, Xu Xin picked up a mineral water bottle on one leg to practice balance, Huang Bokai practiced unarmed, and Fan Zhendong exercised without equipment. ...
The highly self-disciplined behavior really shocked me. To achieve this level of self-discipline, they do not need outside intervention, but they do it spontaneously.
Therefore, the cultivation of self-discipline is always a process from devil-like "forced" to daily "spontaneous".
If a person's success has not been tested by the devil, it is difficult to draw strength from it and let him overcome difficulties in the future. So, when you encounter misfortune, don't sink into it, please cherish it.
