"Successful people are often not the smartest people, but they must be the most attentive people." This is the conclusion reached by an educator in Japan. He took the time to do an experiment-he chose two groups of twelve-year-old children to do a simple exercise on the playground, skipping rope. Five minutes later, a group of people were told: You did a good job because you are all smart! Another group also carried out the same activity in different places. They were told: You did well because you worked hard! Later, members of the two groups were asked to shoot separately. In this slightly more difficult activity, the students who were praised for their hard work enthusiastically accepted the challenge, although they did not have a good grasp of shooting and the number of shots was only a handful. When the teacher announced the shooting activity, the students who were praised for their clever skipping were all very sad and unwilling to finish the shooting activity. After that, two groups of students were asked to jump rope. The scores of students who were praised for their hard work increased by 30%, while those who were praised for their cleverness decreased by 20%. Later, he spent 10 years doing a follow-up survey. As a result, those students who are praised for their hard work always try some new activities in their lives and make continuous progress. Because they have cultivated their various interests, when they apply for the college entrance examination, their chosen majors also develop in a diversified direction. And those children who are praised for their cleverness are always confined to their own power, do not like challenges and are very satisfied with the status quo. Finally, when filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, compared with the first batch of students, it obviously presents the characteristics of simplification. And there are many examples in life to prove that this is indeed the case.

When a person does something attentively and seriously, then the efficiency and effect must be better than those who have no intention. In life, there are such examples.

One night, Teacher Lai assigned a composition, A Letter to the Teacher. The composition handed in the next day was scribbled. Teacher Lai flew into a rage. He first spent a class educating us, and then asked us to rewrite it, emphasizing "attentively and seriously". I didn't think so at first, but since the teacher asked for it, let's try it. When rewriting this composition, the classroom was silent and every student wrote it carefully. The notes of "rustling" flow from every student's pen from time to time. When this rewritten composition was handed in, the teacher checked it and said to us, "That's right. You can do it well with your heart. " Everyone laughed. We know that the quality of this composition is many times better than last time! It seems that it is really important to be careful.

An incident on Friday further proved this point. That afternoon, I had three Chinese classes in a row. Teacher Lai told us: "These three classes should be written." We're not surprised. Teacher Lai is the "king of creative writing". Besides, it is not difficult to write a composition in three classes. But Teacher Lai added: "In the first two classes, I wrote a composition' Burying Bad Habits' and drew a picture for it; In the third class, write a letter to your parents. " We were surprised-two compositions in three classes, plus a picture, is it possible? Teacher Lai told us that as long as we are serious and attentive, we can do it. Since the teacher said so, we can only do it. Besides, don't go home until you finish it. Maybe it's for "free time" after school. The students are all very serious. The whole classroom is full of "rustling" music, and pens and paper are beautiful musical instruments. In less than two classes, most students have finished the composition and painting of Burying Bad Habits. When the bell rang in the third class, A Letter to Parents was released along with the students' mood. As we all know, the reason why we can accomplish so many things in just three classes is because we have the heart to do it and do it seriously. We also know that as long as we are willing to work hard, we are not worse than others, and we can also create miracles.

"A person may not be smart, but he must be careful." "Successful people are often not the smartest, but they must be the most attentive." After reading the article "You may not be smart, but you should be careful", these two sentences have been lingering in my mind, hovering in my mind. As the saying goes, "diligence can make up for it." A clever mind is of course important, but it can only be done best with your heart. Many examples in life prove the importance of seriousness and concentration, sometimes even more important than a clever mind. Then let's start from this moment and do it seriously!
