Notes on Feng Tang's Way of Doing Things 7: Choose, Work hard.

Read the chapter: Sometimes "not working hard" is the right strategy. Choosing is not just giving up. Abandon the "body and mind" and "practice" in reality.

Sometimes "not working hard" is the right strategy.

Sometimes not working hard is the right strategy. I don't quite agree with this view, but the author also has his reasons. Here he gives three reasons. Let's see if we can convince you.

First, strategically, resignation is very important. Success is accidental, and fate takes the lead. If you don't work hard, you will get hurt.

Here is an example. The author said that there is an inspirational song called "Love Will Win", which says: three points are doomed, and seven points depend on hard work. This sentence makes people excited, but strategically speaking, this seven-point struggle is doomed to be wrong.

Because Zeng Guofan is telling the truth: seven points are in the sky and three points are in people. Reality is often cruel. Recognizing the cruelty of reality is not easy to be happy, but it is not easy to be disillusioned. It's better than being stupid. Resignation is the right strategy that has to be done.

After reading these words, have you touched any part of yourself? In fact, I think it may be right sometimes, but most of the time, we still have to fight, which is the right choice, because most of us have not fought to the point of doing nothing and relying on the weather for food.

Second, from a tactical point of view, sometimes convergence is needed. Here, the author says that if your efforts involve others, sometimes you can achieve 100% or even 120%, but in most cases, you can achieve 80%~90%. Why?

1. If you are too purposeful, you are likely to be disgusted by others.

The example given by the author here is an example where someone wants his signature, that is, if everyone wants his signature, it will crowd out his day. Then he can't do anything else.

I think this example is also very appropriate, that is, each of us may find it not difficult for you to sign for me. But we ignore that if everyone thinks so, the result for the parties is that they can only do these things every day.

You may be envied by others because you run too fast.

The example given by the author here is that when he was a summer intern in a large medical device factory in the United States, he was young and would do it quickly, and then the team members would resist because they didn't work so hard.

Because the team leader at that time told him that you can take your time and don't be in such a hurry. If you are in such a hurry and you need others to cooperate with you, it is useless to fight alone in a team.

I think these two examples are representative, but they also have limitations, because most people may not conform to the author's two personal experiences, but if they do, it is a good idea to refer to the author's practice.

If you work too hard for a long time, you will encounter very serious resistance.

For example, when they discuss a problem fiercely, usually the winner will be resisted by everyone the next day or even for a period of time afterwards. Therefore, he will adopt a compromise plan. No matter what he discusses, he must stop in the afternoon 12, then go home, find his mother, take a hot bath and sleep, and discuss it the next day. Miraculously, 80% of the questions can be agreed the next day.

Here, the author also gives an example: accounts receivable generally take 1~3 months to pay. If you are in a hurry, you can get the accounts receivable back in three days. If it goes on for a long time, will the other party choose a manufacturer that is not in a hurry and can allow him to pay for three months?

I think the two examples in this article are very representative, both of which give us some inspiration, and also inspire us to consider each other's situation in real life and achieve a win-win situation.

Third, take your time and be king slowly, which is the correct attitude.

Zeng Guofan said: "Don't worry, be strict, and there will be sweetness."

Don't worry, don't panic. If you fill the river, it will naturally merge into a big river, and then the river will run to the sea. This is actually an attitude towards life and work. Don't worry, don't rush to build mountains, and don't rush to dominate the country.

Actually, it's no use worrying. When you're not stupid enough to stand on the mountain.

Having said the above three points, you may ask, is it necessary to work hard? Actually, this is also the question I want to ask. Is it necessary to work hard? The author said of course.

Because:

1. You don't have to kill dragons, but you must sharpen your knife. You should always be ready. Now you can concentrate on sharpening your knife and improving your skills. I think this suggestion is especially suitable for this big environment, especially Harbin, where you can concentrate on sharpening your knife at home. As my friend said yesterday, this is the best time to overtake in the corner. )

When you can fight and run, please fight and run hard. You should have the ability and energy to fight and run. This is a place where we can work hard. Yes, now is the best time to sharpen your knife. )

3. Get the most knowledge and wisdom in a certain subdivision. Before you stand tall, you should accumulate more knowledge and wisdom in this subdivision. Don't say you have it too early. Ask yourself more, do you have enough knowledge and wisdom in the field you are trying to be king? It is not enough to ask yourself, so study hard, even if it is difficult, do it hard. )

Finally, I learned a skill. When I can achieve great things, I can also achieve great things. When I can't achieve great things, I will continue to hide somewhere to practice. If you succeed in the world, you should not be independent, calm and calm.

Choose, not just give up.

I agree with this view. Let's see how the author explains it:

First, choose talents and look at ambitions.

Here again, I quote China, that is, talents should look at IQ or EQ. If not, what should they see? Zeng Guofan said that "according to its interests" means whether this person is a layman or a Confucian.

If he is a layman, he will get worse and worse. Even if he has a particularly high IQ and EQ, a layman with a particularly high IQ and EQ will often become a bigger hidden danger. If he has a high interest and doesn't want to be vulgar, he can make progress every day even if his IQ and EQ are relatively low.

Second, form good habits and overcome customs.

I quite agree with this view. Here, the author shares his habits. Every day, there are at least two:

And 1, which means doing 100 sit-ups and 100 push-ups every day, he can generally do it. I think this is very powerful.

The second, especially simple, is to watch the Kindle fall asleep, and you can also change the Kindle into a paper book, as long as it is not a mobile phone.

The following are his weekly habits.

1. Practice 2~3 times a week and run 10 km. According to the weekly arrangement and weather, it is not necessarily a specific day, so you can relax a little and run to several thousand kilograms per month.

2. 2~3 times a week, 15 minutes full version of high-intensity interval training.

3. 2~3 times a week, each time not less than 1 hour.

4. Fast food for 2~3 days a week should be carried out under the guidance of some professionals. His goal is not to be heavier than when he graduated from college, and his body mass index (BMI) should be less than 19.

5. Give up drinking for two consecutive days every week and give your liver enough rest time.

6. Read 2~3 volumes of Purple Tongzhi Sword every week. Zi Tong Zhi Jian has about 300 volumes, each volume is about 1000 words, and the whole book is about 3 million words. If you can read three volumes a week, you can read Purple Tongzhi Sword once every two years.

The annual habits are not shared because they involve major strategies.

Just looking at this weekly habit, I feel very surprised, because the author has such a heavy workload and develops his hobby of writing brush characters in his spare time. The intensity of exercise is so great that I think it is more efficient than ordinary people. At least I can't be so efficient now, because I didn't go running and exercise, and no one gave myself time to do hobbies, so I'm still not hard enough on myself.

Be hard on yourself and arrange your time reasonably. Let's go

Abandon the "body and mind" and "practice" in reality.

I can't agree with this view, because many people around me will definitely mention family background and "body and mind" when talking about "practice". It seems that this is the only way to practice, and I am not ashamed of it. They are all adults, why do you want to leave the pot on the family?

See the author's opinion:

The author says that people can't live without body and soul. They are born and grow up with you.

A successful person can't hide from his body and soul.

First, practice in reality.

1. The example given by the author here is very interesting, that is, it is very beautiful now, with a white skirt and fluffy hair. Everyone blew and drank together, eating lightly, which was particularly beautiful. Take "nothing to say" and communicate with your heart.

But the author didn't go, because he felt that there was no obvious change in the people who went, and he must have paid a lot, and all the money for the next time was paid. It's hard to say whether it's a brainwashing class or a practical class.

Haha, I agree with this statement. )

2. I believe that you can practice in reality, and you don't have to go to the seaside or the Woods to practice.

How to practice in reality? Cherish every discomfort and pain.

We can't change our genes, family background, environment, education and experience, but we can find out what happened to me from any moment. (strongly agree)

Second, true practice is patience and self-improvement.

I can't agree with the author here. He said: don't take comfort for granted, don't take discomfort as a burden that will be lost soon, cherish these discomfort and discomfort, and don't always think that you are right. Awareness can produce wisdom, and perception can produce wisdom, so that your body and soul can get along better and make better use of them.

Here is another example of Zeng Guofan's fiasco. In fact, I found that the author likes Zeng Guofan very much, and every chapter will give an example of Zeng Guofan. This book is simply Zeng Guofan's case editor.

Of course, he also cited his own example here, that is, he has had two full-time jobs in the past 20 years, because once there is no job, he will jump out and criticize others, such as your land is not cleaned and the garden is not so perfect, which makes him and others uncomfortable. So he has to work full-time, consuming himself and benefiting others. I find this description particularly humorous. I laughed while reading a book. This humorous narrative makes people particularly relaxed to read.

So let the body and mind practice in reality.
