Movies? Fatal: mediocrity VS elite

Charles, an elderly billionaire, took his beautiful model wife, photographer Bob, black assistant Steve and other friends to Alaska for a holiday by private jet. In order to find a local model, Charles, Bob and Steve were caught in a small plane by migrating birds and the plane crashed. Fortunately, three people survived. But in the face of Brown Bear's pursuit and Bob's plot against Charles, how will they survive in the frozen Yuan Ye in Alaska?

Steve, the black assistant, soon went to "get the box lunch". He is just an ordinary follower, and his personality and ability are not obvious. There is nothing to say here.

Representative of mediocrity: photographer Bob, ambitious, wants to make money, envies and hates his friend Charles, has an affair with Charles' wife, and plans to kill Charles. Ambition is not a bad thing, the key is how to use your ambition. If you use ambition to urge yourself to work hard and make great efforts, this is not wrong, it is a good thing; It is wrong to rob others with ambition. Bob obviously belongs to the latter, and it is a derogatory term to describe him as "ambitious" here.

The following highlights highlight the elite representative Charles:

1. Love reading

Although he is on holiday, Charles always has a book in his hand and reads whenever he has time. On the plane, he read books about how to survive in the wild. At the holiday home, he read some books about the habits of brown bears. He didn't immerse himself in the relaxed atmosphere of the holiday like others, but kept calm and thinking at all times.

This good habit of reading has enabled him to have sufficient knowledge reserves for many things that he has never experienced personally. When he is really faced with sudden difficulties, he can quickly invoke relevant knowledge. In this primitive jungle expedition, it is because of Charles' rich theoretical knowledge that everyone relies on it. When encountering difficulties, the other two always ask him what to do, and he can provide corresponding strategies and related knowledge every time. It proved to be very effective and everyone had to refuse.

Calm and composed

This is Charles' personality characteristic that impressed me the most. No matter what difficulties he encountered, whether in the face of Brown Bear or when he finally found out his wife's affair with Bob, he was as calm as ever. This trait finally helped him defeat Brown Bear and punished Bob.

I once read a similar article, saying that elites are better at controlling their emotions because they understand that "a cool brain helps to think deeply". After watching this movie, I have a deeper understanding of this view. It is not easy to get emotional. It is believed that he has superb consciousness and self-control, that he is a man with goals, that he is always aware of what he is doing, that he is not easily controlled by the environment or atmosphere, and that he stays awake at all times, which will help him make correct judgments and decisions at all times, and that such a man will achieve his goals and succeed more easily.

In contrast, the mediocre representative Bob is sometimes in high spirits, laughing and cursing, sometimes depressed, desperate and painful, and his mood fluctuates greatly, which also makes him unable to think calmly and come up with effective coping strategies when facing difficulties.

3.？ Optimistic and focused on the present.

When three Charles found themselves in the primeval jungle, Charles said that according to the summary of most survivors in the wild, most people who got lost in the wild died of shame. Why? My understanding is that once people find out that bad luck has befallen them, they will think, why me? Why did this happen to me? Attention will be used to complain and blame yourself or others. But how did Charles do it? He never said a word to complain or criticize others. He always focuses on how to solve the current problems. He tried his best to do what he should do, and at the same time encouraged and took care of his two teammates.

He always believed that as long as they walked in the right direction, they would definitely go out. It is this optimistic attitude that keeps him focused on solving the current problems instead of focusing on anxiety, panic and mutual accusations.

4. Thinking ability

Never give up the ability to think. At the end of the film, Charles was rescued and returned to his residence. He looked at a local Indian and asked, "Why are rabbits not afraid of leopards?" The Indian smiled and replied, "Because rabbits are smarter than leopards." This paragraph is a repetition of the conversation when they first met at the holiday home, but the Indian asked and Charles answered.

Why can rabbits not be afraid of leopards, because they are smarter than leopards? Here, rabbits are used to compare human beings, and leopards are used to compare enemies or difficulties. Humans have the ability to think. As long as they can think calmly and give full play to their intelligence, they will certainly be able to live freely on this planet.

The elite represents the characteristics of Charles and is worth learning and imitating. No one can succeed casually, and there must be something unique about becoming an elite. For me, improving my ability to control my emotions, maintaining an optimistic attitude and having the ability to think independently are aspects that I urgently need to improve.
