It's hard to live, the reverse all depends on their efforts

Although the origin determines the starting point, there are always people who rely on their efforts to reverse the success, not how smart the other side is, but know how to use the efforts in the right place.

When others eat, drink and play, devote themselves to learning, and seek more opportunities by constantly improving themselves.

On this path, the effort is not always rewarded, but there is never hope without effort.

Even if the road ahead is slim, the road to go or to go, the effort to work hard or to work hard, or stand still and wait, only to go downhill themselves.

Do not put any hope in others, adults can only rely on themselves.

Only by working hard to make yourself better will you have a chance to go against the odds and achieve a better you.

1、Diligence can make up for clumsiness and achieve better

Some people are smart but not used in the right place, some people are stupid but have self-awareness, which is the beginning of the difference between the sky and the earth, but in the lack of effort and effort to open the gap between each other.

Originally smart people were ahead of a chip but did not use the smart place, and finally, stupid people's efforts surpassed.

Like the tortoise and hare race, the original winner must be the hare, but because of the hare's laziness, so that the tortoise became the final winner.

Many times, talent may be important, but it is more important to get down to earth and plow yourself.

It is a pity that some people know that they are smart, but they do not use their intelligence in the right place, and they put their intelligence on speculation, thinking that they are smart, but they are stupid.

Only see the immediate benefits, but ignore how the future, can win a moment but may lose a life.

Compared to this, stupid people, although the starting point is low, know that hard work can make up for the clumsy, willing to be patient, down-to-earth deep plowing themselves, step by step to improve their ability.

Perhaps at first can not win over each other, but over time can slowly transcend, to achieve a better self.

Like Zeng Guofan, the man who once could not memorize an article in one night and was even dumber than the little thief, but relied on his efforts to make up for his innate deficiencies and succeeded in rebounding to become the "perfect man" in the eyes of others.

It's not terrible to be stupid, it's terrible to be smart. Instead of being complacent about being smart, you should spend more time improving yourself.

Small intelligence can never compare to great wisdom, relying on talent, rather than rely on hard work, and being down-to-earth to get out of their life road.

2, saving strength, waiting for opportunities

Napoleon once said, "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, but a soldier who is not a good soldier is not a good general."

People should have ambition, but also to do their job, or else a blanket dream, just daydreaming, cheat yourself, can not cheat others.

Only when you do your job well, do you know how to plow yourself deeply, so that you can better cope with the challenges of the unknown?

On the contrary, if you waste time, and just want to be a salted fish, it will sooner or later be eliminated by society and become a real salted fish.

In the absence of sufficient strength, thinking more can not dream come true.

Only continuous efforts, and breakthroughs, get more opportunities for success.

Many times, how the future, not in how they think, but in how they do, is the feet on the ground, or want to take shortcuts ...... different choices have different results, either first bitter is then sweet, or first sweet than bitter.

Seemingly ordinary choice, but the fate of the choice point, changing each other's fate.

I thought there were shortcuts in life, but after trying to understand that the so-called shortcuts are just lying to themselves, only the real shortcuts are walking out on the ground.

Compared to the success obtained by others, you don't have to worry about walking and falling, and you don't have to worry about the possibility of being taken back at any time.

You know, those years rely on others to reach the sky in one step, and finally how many of them can have a good end, so that is not obtained by their strength, ultimately not their own.

Only down-to-earth step by steps, to get out of their life road.

Only know how to accumulate strength, and build up, to achieve a better self.

Do people, more stupid efforts, there will be a chance of reversal.

Think more, not as good as doing.

All the adversity, not overnight, is behind the persistent efforts and continuous breakthrough self-discipline.

The harder you work, the luckier you will be.
