Really smart people work hard in the dark. In life, there is never a shortage of smart people, but smart people may not succeed. Smart people need to redouble their efforts if they want to succeed. Here is what really smart people do in the dark!

Really smart people work hard in the dark. 1 In this era in which we live, it seems that we need to innovate and change, go beyond the corner and avoid all clumsy methods.

Moreover, many media constantly publicize some important theories and discoveries, which seems to help us avoid detours and have shortcuts.

But some really smart people are secretly stupid!

1. Smart people love stupid kung fu.

Li Ka-shing has a famous timetable. Be sure to read before going to bed every night, 12 go to bed, get up at 5: 59 in the morning, and never delay. It lasted nearly half a century. With this perseverance and self-discipline, if we can do it, it may not be the second Li Ka-shing, but it will not be too bad.

Qian Mu, a master of Chinese studies, said: "There is no other way for those who have achieved great success through the ages. They are all capable people who are willing to work hard. "

Hu Shi also said: "There are too many smart people in this world, and too few people are willing to work hard, so there are only a few successful people."

Someone asked Kobe Bryant, an American basketball genius, why he was so successful, but he asked, "Do you know what Los Angeles is like at 4 am every day?"

Qian Zhongshu is famous for his extensive knowledge. On behalf of his academic achievements, Guanzubian quoted tens of thousands of documentary evidence from tens of thousands of works by more than 4,000 famous artists. Wang Yang is wanton and profound, all this stems from his long-term persistence in reading.

His goal in Tsinghua is to "sweep the Tsinghua Library". His academic experience is: "The smarter a person is, the more stupid he must be."

When Haruki Murakami was 28 years old, he had a whim and wanted to try writing, so he quit his job in a bar, got up early to write for 4-5 hours every day, then went to the gym, kept running for eight years, listened to music and read books at noon, put off socializing at night and kept going to bed early.

Zhang Ailing said, "Be famous before it's too late! If it comes too late, happiness will not be so happy! " She spent almost all her youth on writing.

Even during the Hong Kong War, she insisted on reading novels even though she was not sure whether she would be alive tomorrow, so she became famous at a young age and abroad.

2. Stupid Kung Fu makes Zeng Guofan a very "smart" person.

Zeng Guofan's secretary Zhao Liewen's diary recorded such a detail:

When Ceng Guoquan attacked Nanking, the court ordered Li Hongzhang to assist in the attack.

On the one hand, Li Hongzhang didn't want to take the first credit from the Tseng brothers, so he bought the credit from the Tseng family. On the other hand, he tried to pass on the responsibility of resisting the decree to Zeng, so he explained it everywhere in private and made a lot of small moves.

Zeng Guofan's countermeasure is to reply to the emperor with a humble letter, and resolutely invite Li Hongzhang to come, seeking no merit, but no fault, earnest and tepid.

In contrast, Li's abacus is clear at a glance. The method of evaluating Zeng Guofan is straightforward, but it is several times higher than Li.

It can be seen that Zeng's "shrewdness" has reached its peak, and it is really unparalleled. It is this unique "clumsiness" that makes Zeng Guofan extremely smart and talented.

Zeng Guofan's philosophy of life is unique, that is, it is still "clumsy". He said: "The clumsiness in the world can surpass the cleverness in the world."

Zeng Guofan was able to pass the imperial examination because of his "stupidity", which he developed as a child.

The talents of the Tseng family are not outstanding. Zeng Linshu, Zeng Guofan's father, won 17 times in his life and barely passed until he was 43 years old.

When Zeng Guofan was a child, his father told him not to read the last sentence and the next one. Don't touch the next book until you have finished reading this one. Never sleep until you finish the task for a day.

He doesn't know skills and shortcuts. He only knows one way to darkness, and he won't look back until he reaches the south wall. It is this "clumsy" way of learning that makes him develop an extraordinary spirit of diligence, hardship and sureness.

The experience of bitter mechanics gave Zeng Guofan a unique inspiration, and he found that clumsiness had the advantage of clumsiness. Clumsy people have no intellectual capital, so they are more open-minded than others. Clumsy people have received frustration education since childhood, so they have strong resistance.

Clumsy people don't know how to play tricks, but only know how to take advantage of problems, so they don't leave any dead ends. On the contrary, smart people are unwilling to work hard and walk around when they encounter difficulties, with a weak foundation.

So "clumsiness" seems to be slow, but it is actually the fastest, because it has laid a solid foundation and left no disadvantages.

Although it took Zeng Guofan nine years to be admitted as a scholar, his development has been smooth since then. In the second year, I took the scholar exam and got a scholarship. Four years later, I became a scholar in high school.

He concluded that this is because he has a good foundation, so "study hard."

It is the insistence on underground stupid kung fu that makes Zeng Guofan a very "smart" person.

Zeng Guofan's use of troops is also based on the clumsy spirit. Throughout his life, he was good at fighting stupid wars and stupid wars, but he was not good at fighting skilled wars. He is not greedy for small profits, does not seek clever thinking, and is practical and steady. He said, "Steady words are the first priority." He has never fought an unprepared and uncertain battle in his life.

Before the war, he would spend a lot of energy to study the situation of the enemy and ourselves, the deployment of combat, logistics supply, and how to rescue in case of unfavorable situations. And every link has been calculated, thoroughly calculated, before he can make up his mind to fight.

In addition, Zeng Guofan was sincere and people-oriented all his life. Throughout his life, he asked himself "not to talk big, not to seek false reputation" and to do things "rather to take advantage of my convenience (appropriate) than to take advantage of others (appropriate)". Others deceived him with the cleverness of a lie, but he was still honest with him.

Zuo Yisheng refused to accept Zeng Guofan. At first, he cynically attacked, and finally, he turned evil into good. Zeng Guofan never fought back in his life.

As his disciple, Li Hongzhang often plays tricks on his mind and is selfish to him. Zeng Guofan never changed his care, love, tolerance and support for Li Hongzhang because he loved Li Zhicai. Li Hongzhang was grateful all his life, and he couldn't leave the word "my teacher" in his later years.

3. The clumsy way of thinking avoids the limitations of "China thinking".

The most significant clumsiness of Zeng Guofan is his way of thinking. This "solid and thorough" way of thinking has enabled Zeng Guofan to avoid the limitations and weaknesses of "China thinking" for thousands of years.

China people's thinking attaches importance to intuition, understanding and analogy, but ignores logic. The thoughts of those talented scholars are often unrestrained, unruly and jumping at will, and it is easy to skip the short distance between true and false.

The biggest characteristic of western thinking is to attach importance to demonstration, logic and difference. Westerners start with quantitative analysis of the differences between things and follow the thinking path of "phenomenon-difference-difference expansion-accurate quantification-innovation", so they can develop excellent rational thinking and establish a strict academic system.

Zeng Guofan's way of thinking coincides with western thinking. Zeng Guofan's way of thinking is "clumsy and practical", which has reached a degree of rigor rarely seen by Chinese people.

Looking at everything from both positive and negative aspects is the secret of Zeng Guofan's thinking. And "positive" and "negative" these two aspects, he also wants to subdivide, divide the "positive" side into two sides, and analyze its advantages and disadvantages. Similarly, the "negative" side has its own advantages and disadvantages.

He studied every factor involved in this matter in order not to make it a bit ambiguous. If this analysis goes on, the observation score will be thorough.

Zeng Guofan said that he was "only ignorant of learning, and he relied on learning to be smart." Zeng Guofan experienced many difficulties and obstacles in his life and handled countless major events, which were generally decent. Its outstanding point is that it is not afraid of trouble, effortless, in-depth analysis of things, leaving no dead ends.

On the basis of thorough analysis of things, find out the key and grasp the key. After each treatment, we should also sum up the experience and lessons for the next reference.

Zeng Guofan's shrewdness is based on such clumsiness. Indeed, "stupid" means "smart" to the extreme, and "clumsy" means "smart" to the extreme.

4. Practicality, persistence, low-key and modesty are the general principles.

Smart people always live in the praise of the outside world, are sought after by praise, and are blessed by aura. Therefore, smart people are often unconsciously framed by conceit and arrogance.

Therefore, if a wise man wants to succeed, he needs to redouble his efforts and make stupid efforts. If he is careless, he may follow in Zhong Yong's footsteps.

This is not to say that talent is not important, but that mentality and persistence are too important. Stupid methods are not used by stupid people, but by ordinary people. These methods are too humble to be praised easily, but they are the most pragmatic methods.

Therefore, the most terrible thing in the world is not that people smarter than you work harder than you, but that people smarter than you are doing "stupid efforts" in secret.

A really smart person is stupid in the dark. Successful people are the role models of many people, and they are also the goals that many people catch up with. However, young people only see their own cleverness, but they don't see the efforts behind them.

Smart people are not all born geniuses. Even so, they know how to work hard and make progress towards success through thousands of efforts and attempts.

What is cleverness? In the face of success, all opportunism is not on the table, nor is it really smart. Only by being down-to-earth and really settling down can we succeed.

There is never a shortage of smart people in life, but smart people may not succeed, because successful people know how to work hard.

1, hard work is great wisdom.

Trick is not the way to success. Cleverness may succeed for a while, but in the end it will expose you to others, and eventually you will be hated by everyone, and the loss will outweigh the gain. This is "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon".

In ancient times, Fang Zhongyong was able to write poetry at the age of five, and was called a genius by local scholars. It is such a wise man who disappeared into history without leaving his name.

His family has been farming for generations, and writing poems at the age of five is absolutely brilliant, but his fame at a young age did not make him successful. The reason is that he is smarter than himself, does not know how to work hard, and wastes his talent.

There is a classic sentence in Caigen Tan: "Writing is my humble opinion, Tao is my own success, and a clumsy word has infinite meaning."

It means: to write an article, you don't need to pursue gorgeous language, and simple and easy-to-understand words are more pleasing and touching; There is no need to be too clever when dealing with people. Simple people are easier to get close to and have more feelings for others. A "clumsy" word contains infinite truth and infinite meaning.

Zeng Guofan, known as "the first perfect man in history", is considered extremely clever by people who don't know him. In fact, Zeng Guofan, when he was young, was regarded as a "stupid person" by others and was often laughed at.

However, he knows that stupid birds fly first, and he carries it every night. Once he recited until midnight and couldn't remember a single article. The thief hiding on the beam of his house has long known it by heart.

The thief even laughed at him, but he didn't think so. He continued to recite until he could. In this way, with this stupid kung fu, Zeng Guofan later became the top scholar in the imperial examination and officialdom.

Zeng Guofan once taught his descendants in his family letters: "Only with Ning Zhuo's wisdom can we last long", that is, he emphasized that there is no shortcut to success, and only "clumsiness" is the right way.

The "clumsiness" here is hard work. Compared with opportunistic, "clumsiness" is great wisdom. Zeng Guofan experienced setbacks when he was young, and it was precisely because he knew how to work hard that he achieved great success later.

Smart people will be terrible as long as they can work hard.

Smart people are not terrible, but smart people know how to be stupid.

Lao Tzu has his own view on stupid kung fu, which he thinks is "clumsy and clumsy". In Lao Tzu's view, a really smart person never shows off himself or his abilities everywhere. On the surface, he seems to be a clumsy person, but in fact he hides his strength and bides his time.

The smartest way in the world is not to choose the best shortcut. There is no shortcut to success, but stupid methods are more effective in the eyes of many people.

The story of the race between the tortoise and the hare is a household name. In the competition, rabbits have talent, while turtles have a huge disadvantage. Both the tortoise and the rabbit think so. However, the final result was unexpected: the rabbit lost and the tortoise won.

The rabbit is smart, thinking that even the sleeping turtle can't win, so he runs to sleep, but he doesn't know that the turtle has reached the end when he sleeps.

The tortoise is well aware of its own disadvantages, but it knows how to work hard, crawl step by step and keep trying to catch up. Success is the best reward for it.

In life, many smart people are rabbits. Their intelligence has not been used on the cutting edge, but has become a stumbling block on their own road to success.

Playing smart makes them lose their enterprising spirit, blind their eyes, fail to see the road to success, fail to find the correct truth leading to success, and lose themselves.

Look at those successful people, many of them are not smart, so they are turtles, but they know how to work towards their goals, how to work hard, persevere, and finally reach the end of success.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Quan Hongchan, the youngest champion in China, was a "blockbuster", with a perfect score in three jumps and almost a perfect score in one jump. This amazing performance made people stunned, and people praised her talent.

However, after understanding, I realized that her success comes not only from talent, but also from hundreds of exercises every day. Practice makes perfect, which is the secret of her success.

No success is easy to get. Since ancient times, how many people have gone down in history? Their success is not a shortcut, but a real effort, and they are really smart people.

Although many talented people are called juvenile geniuses, they eventually disappear from the crowd, that is, they have low vision and don't know how to work hard.

Therefore, really smart people know that only by accumulating more and working harder at ordinary times can they succeed, and making unremitting efforts to achieve their goals is the best recognition for themselves.
