Talent shows that this is the formula:

Talent = (IQ * hard work)/luck

This will be a very pessimistic answer that does not conform to the mainstream thinking. Please read with a normal heart, without any hope.

An obvious essential quality, that is IQ, this thing is purely a spelling of genes, is a game of chance. Some people are born with reading materials. They can always find a shortcut to master the same knowledge, while ordinary people can only turn around in the same place and spend several times to understand it. Yes, I don't mean someone, and I don't mean you who feel the same way.

IQ is really important and can't be avoided. This is an innate threshold, it is not fair, there is always excellent existence. Some chicken soups for the soul often say: You only saw my success, but you didn't see my efforts. But it's a lie to you. There is a bias called survivor bias. You only see people who try hard but succeed, but you don't see people who try hard but fail. Then what are they? Obviously, I worked harder than the winner, but I missed my success because my IQ was ten points lower. The distance between them is like a day.

But I think they can be proud and lucky. Because another thing is as important as IQ, there are not a few people who rely on it. This thing can be innate or acquired, but in a word, like IQ, it is a game of chance. This thing is an effort, an extraordinary will-oriented form, which is called "effort".

Most people will tell you that this matter depends on your own efforts, but I want to defend you! It is by no means your fault that you don't work hard. In the face of many things, people are really powerless and can only go with the flow. Especially after entering the industrial society, we accepted the value output of elitism and blamed ourselves for all incompetence, which led to suicide.

We can't let these wrong values poison our lives. And pick up the magnifying glass and carefully analyze what the effort is made of. As follows:

There is a well-known story called Meng Mu Sanyun, in which Meng Mu is Mencius, a milestone of Confucianism in the future, and a saint with the word uprising! Most people will think that Mencius worked hard because he was born to work hard. You think so? You've been cheated! Mencius was an urchin when he was a child, so stubborn! His mother moved three times to get him back on track. The third time he lived in a well-educated environment, so he changed. It can be seen that despite his mother's efforts, the actual opportunity for change is the environment. And who can be lucky enough to meet such a mother, such an environment, or some kind of chance at the same time?

Mencius is an acquired external education effort. The same is true for people. When they are young, they will gradually form their own unique personality and behavior rules according to their surrounding environment and personal experience. Moreover, this kind of effort has no certain rules and depends entirely on some kind of opportunity as the basis. It's not your fault that you didn't get the quality of this effort! The quality of your efforts the day after tomorrow is purely a chance development, and there is no absolute standard.

After talking about the efforts of the day after tomorrow, I have to talk about the innate efforts, in which the advantages of genes are unparalleled!

There is a group of people who have worked hard since birth. They seem to be born to work hard and can't stop.

They are diligent, but not because of some kind of opportunity.

Their work style is hard, but it is not because of some ideal.

Their lives are full of motivation, but not because tomorrow will be better.

Just because their genes have written these behaviors into their behavior programs for a long time, they can't understand the pain caused by the acquired efforts, because the behavior programs in their genes don't contain this pain at all. Even without high IQ, these people can live well.

Because some people are really different from us, not at all. We can only die in the wind and rain, but they can walk out of their own growth in the face of wind and rain. We can only rot in the mud, but they can bloom lotus flowers. People are really different.

This answer ends here.

The head of talent is occupied by a shareholder named luck. It is everywhere and presents in various forms. It's not fair. Everything is an opportunity. Even if you have two weapons, hard work and IQ, you will inevitably face an enemy, which is called luck.

Do you think you can be invincible by hard work and IQ? Don't!

In this ugly life-and-death competition, you may be able to destroy a large number of enemies, but you will find that the competition ahead will only be more intense. In that game, it was not just for wisdom, diligence and life! But to fight for dad, money and power!

The protagonist of a book is the best among the poor and is said to have a high IQ. He went to war, sold bootleg liquor and was a gangster, but he only went to Oxford University for four months. He may be a successful attacker, but if you want to talk about his successful life, you can only say that he is too short.

He is the great Gatsby! The name means the son of God.

But it is such a will that "princes would rather have seeds" also prostrated themselves before luck.

This is the sad song of this era!

We are forced to accept those mainstream values, and become the injurer and the victim invisibly.

We can't escape.

The American dream is beautiful,

The Chinese dream is good,

I should wake up in my dream,

If it's a flash of lightning,

Everything in reality turns into a nightmare that haunts you.

Because the truth is: alas, princes will have seeds!

I have answered the answer, and then I am talking to myself.

I don't think this is really happy.

The above is a bleak future, and it is also the future that most grassroots will experience.

The cruelty of reality lies in the world you grew up in.

No one will honestly tell you how cruel it is.

Because weaving this invisible lie and fairy tale is the original sin of human nature.

But I can tell you that if you feel gloomy, give up on yourself, or even commit suicide, it is perfectly normal.

Extreme pessimism is optimism.

Your only mission is to accept it, and if you accomplish this mission, you will be considered a complete merit. If no one agrees with you, please firmly believe that I am with you! Stoic philosophers are with us! We can really comfort each other, even if we are looked down upon, it doesn't matter. Nothing can change inner peace.

So, please smile with me in the nightmare. After accepting this, you will be extremely powerful.

Everything in this world can only make you miserable, but that's all.
