This book is famous for its 10000 hour law.
After reading this book, several friends immediately came to my mind.
Listen to me tell their story:
Xiaoming is an Anhui native and was born in the early 1980s.
When Xiaoming was in primary school, nine-year compulsory education had not been implemented.
In other words, primary school to junior high school still needs exams.
Xiaoming hasn't been promoted to junior high school for three years.
His father was very angry,
Throw it on the construction site for him,
This baby is not reading material,
Learn a trade.
Xiao Ming followed the foreman to the northeast and southwest.
Learn carpentry first, then bricklayer and electrician,
It turns out that I can't learn any of these jobs.
He is best suited to do housework,
That is, coolies with the least technical content,
I've been an apprentice since I was a teenager,
Worked on the construction site for 10 years,
When his companion leaves his master and flies alone,
He is still doing odd jobs.
In 2004, Xiaoming and his fellow villagers came to Shenzhen.
First, I worked in a breakfast shop of a fellow villager.
Then I flew solo and opened my own breakfast shop.
The manufacturing industry in Shenzhen has taken off.
Migrant workers and girls flocked from all over the country.
Xiaoming's breakfast business is getting better and better
A few years later, I went back to my hometown and bought a six-story commercial house.
A few years later, I sold the house in the county.
Bought a house in Shenzhen,
The old man and children were taken to Shenzhen.
Didn't buy a house in Shenzhen? 2 1 1, are the students in class two surprised?
Do you want to eat eggs for breakfast tomorrow?
Xiaoming really can't learn carpentry, bricklayer and electrician.
He worked odd jobs for 10 years,
His characteristic is that he is practical in his work, and he is not lazy during his work 1 minute.
Unlike the workmates,
He also likes cooking and is a foodie.
So I made breakfast.
According to Gladwell,
This is not only Xiaoming's personal talent and hard work in making breakfast,
This is also the opportunity of the great era:
There are factories everywhere in Shenzhen, and a large number of migrants are pouring in.
Xiao Ming's breakfast material is genuine, and young and old are not deceived.
S jun is from Beijing,
I went to a 2 1 1 university in northwest China to study economics because my college entrance examination results were not high.
In the first semester, the number is as high as a book, and I failed;
In the second semester, linear algebra was a gobbledygook, and then failed;
In the third semester, operational research is simply a natural creation, and there is no reason not to hang up.
I won't list them one by one in the fourth semester.
In the first three years of college, basically at least one course failed each semester.
Students get together for the first time after graduation 10 year.
Many students from banks are still working as tellers at present after graduation.
Students who enter monopoly state-owned enterprises are all playing cards and drinking.
He has nothing to boast about,
Because I haven't worked for three years.
S also joined the bank as a teller after graduation.
Then he resigned,
It took three years to take the CPA exam.
Five years later,
Enter a financial leasing company,
Enter the investment banking department of a securities company,
I have been to donkeys in Shandong, coal in Shanxi, rare earth in Inner Mongolia and chemical fertilizer in salt lakes.
The funds handled reached 654.38+0 billion.
I set up my own fund company in 15 years.
Invest in growing enterprises.
The biggest change of S is to become a person who loves reading.
At least one book a week,
This change stems from the three-year examination meeting.
The examination completely changed his temperament,
Changed his life.
L Jun and his wife returned to Shanghai after graduating from a school in Western Europe in 2008.
A famous university of finance and economics is implementing dual-track management to attract overseas famous doctors to return home together.
They went to college together and started a six-year long March.
The school requires that at least three papers be published in top international journals within six years.
Leave if you can't meet the requirements.
After the expiration of the 6-year evaluation,
The number of papers published by both of them has reached the requirements of the school.
The annual salary is not less than 600,000.
And a doctor without a background in studying abroad,
The current annual salary is not higher than 250,000.
Yes, the gap is so big!
You have to go to a famous overseas school.
At least three papers must be published in top international journals.
By the way, when they first returned to Shanghai,
During the financial crisis, house prices plummeted.
They have about 1 10,000,
I saved this during my five-year study abroad.
Bought a townhouse with a total price of 2.6 million in Baoshan District,
At present, it's worth 20 million yuan, and it only takes 10 minutes to get to work.
G jun is from Fujian,
My father opened a mold factory in his early years.
G Jun returned to his hometown after graduation.
Join the local central branch of China People's Bank,
After two years in Shenzhen,
Engaged in securities, funds, trusts, futures and insurance.
By chance,
Huawei Overseas Finance Department recruits settlement personnel.
G jun was hired and sent to Brazil.
Three years later, G returned to Shenzhen and founded an industrial company.
Engaged in all kinds of foreign currency to RMB, RMB to foreign currency business.
In his words,
It is really difficult not to realize financial freedom after entering the currency business circle.
The book Alien lists many famous examples:
Canadian ice hockey team, genius founder of Sun Company Bill Joy, Microsoft Company Bill Gates, The Beatles, partner of Shida Law Firm Joe Fromm, etc.
The difference is that the four people I listed are all ordinary people.
In today's China,
They seem to be people you know,
Everything all right? !
How did they become great people?
If you use a popular phrase to sum up the content of this book, that is:
Success = Timing+Location+People's Harmony
Are you amazed at the high generalization and refinement of China ancestors? !
The original text says this:
& gt 1. Extraordinary achievements depend not so much on talent as on opportunity.
& gt2. Successful people can't succeed alone. They are always the product of a specific place and environment.
& gt3. Success is not a random event. Success consists of a series of predictable and powerful favorable environments and opportunities.
& gt4. When and where you were born, how your parents make a living and how you grow up determine whether you can succeed in society.
& gt Each of us has a completely different personality from others, and our personality also continues the specific tendencies, habits and conditioned reflex we developed from the growing environment, especially the differences between different cultural characteristics. "
We should all thank this era!
Without China's reform and opening up,
Without Shenzhen, there would be no chance for Xiaoming to make breakfast.
Without Huawei, G Jun would have no chance to engage in foreign currency settlement business.
Without reform and opening up,
L Jun won't want to study in Europe, and S Jun won't have a chance to take CPA exam.
As Gladwell said:
& gt In addition to the completely random advantages such as ability and opportunity, they are also helping the "heterogeneous" in a specific field to succeed.
> The deeper psychologists study talent, the more they find that the role of talent is actually very small, while the role of acquired efforts is actually great.
10000 hours is the magic number of great achievements.
First, there is no "natural genius"-spending less time than others can achieve higher achievements than others;
Second, there is no "effort"-personal efforts are higher than others, but they cannot be stronger than others.
Three years after Mr. S resigned from the society, according to the calculation of studying 10 hour every day for 360 days every year, it is exactly 10000 hours.
Parents' lifestyle and class are very important to their children's success.
In the book, parents' education methods for their children are divided into two categories: _ cooperative training and natural growth.
* * Collaborative training * * mode tends to explore children's talents and cultivate children's initiative and skills.
Middle-class parents like this way.
* * natural growth * * mode is that parents take raising their children as their responsibility.
And regard the child's growth and development as a child's business.
_ The author thinks that the cooperative training mode brings more benefits. _
The fundamental reason for the difference in adult development between two children with similar IQ lies in their family background.
Finally, almost no talented teenager from a lower class family can succeed by his own intelligence.
& gt What children in an ordinary family lack is what we should give them as long as we know: a community to help children gain experience in coping with society.
This sentence can be understood as: * * Provide children with relevant social experience in time * *.
The fundamental reason for the difference in children's academic performance is the degree of study hard.
& gt William is not necessarily smarter than the blind, but William has learned more than her: William has been studying various courses all summer, while the blind are watching TV or playing outside.
Because:
& gt Students, rich or poor, have made equal efforts and improved their grades by the same amount.
Sign up for various remedial classes for children. We found the theoretical basis in this book!
The author thinks that there is paddy field civilization in Asia,
Farmers who have planted rice for thousands of years are the hardest group of farmers to grow all kinds of crops.
I once dreamed of being a great person,
However, due to various reasons, time flies.
What should people do when they reach middle age?
To be a great person,
You only compare one object,
It's your past
To quote the author:
& gt Through hard work, we can find the true value of life in great uncertainty and poverty.
If you are rich but not poor,
That's even more fearless,
For dreams,
Let's cheer together!
Wonderful review of the past
The tipping point?
Not just speech methodology?
About the rich, 10 never expected.
There is only one opponent who can achieve Excellence, and that is yourself!
