My studio is looking for an editor, and there is a girl whose resume is very bright: she graduated from the Chinese Department of a prestigious school, worked as a newspaper reporter, won a literary prize, and her photos are also very nice. Besides, the articles she attached are all to my taste.

However, the score is reduced: she has not only worked as a reporter, but also worked as a lawyer's assistant, a cosmetics salesman, and a private school teacher ... After graduating from college for seven years, she changed 13 jobs, which has a great industry span.

It seems that she can't persist in doing one thing slowly and surely. I'm a little worried that she won't be able to come to me for long.

After a long hesitation, I called her for an interview.

She is really a beautiful girl, and she speaks appropriately and frankly, which makes people feel very comfortable. It's just that when faced with the question "Why have you changed so many jobs", I'm not satisfied with her answer.

She said that she was interested in many industries and thought she could do it well, so she wanted to try them all. "It's boring to do only one thing in this life."

I said, but there is always a difference between what you want to do most and what you want to do more. What do you want to do most?

She said it might be writing, but she couldn't give up anything else for this.

I decided to give her up now.

There is a feeling of seeing a playboy on a blind date-everything is fine, just a playboy. This injury is so cruel that no matter how hard you try, you can only veto it by one vote.

Just as no woman wants to marry a playboy, no employer will like employees who change jobs frequently.

From the girl's point of view, I think this serious injury will affect her life.

It is very important for people to concentrate on what they are good at if they want to achieve something.

You can try and make mistakes at the beginning of society, but you can't change it endlessly and aimlessly. Otherwise, others will upgrade all the way in the professional field. You will always be a novice, always starting, and you will probably accomplish nothing in the end.

Once Bill Gates and Buffett were together, Gates' father asked the two rich people to write "the word that helped you the most" respectively, and both Gates and Buffett wrote the word "concentration" by coincidence.

It sounds like a chicken soup joke, but it's true. Gates and Buffett both said it themselves.

In fact, this is also the consensus of many successful people: it is easier to succeed by concentrating on things.

Buffett once said that if you don't know what you should do, make a list of the 25 things you want to do most, then cross out 20 things and devote yourself to the remaining 5 things. Remember, 6-25 other things may distract you. Don't focus on the five most important things before you finish them, and forget them all.

Jobs did almost the same thing.

He was forced to leave Apple because of the power struggle. After returning to Apple, he reduced the company's ongoing 40 projects to four in one fell swoop and told everyone: "Our goal is to build these four products."

Later, there was an Apple smartphone that changed the world.

Jobs said that deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do. The company is like this, and so are the products.

In fact, life is even more so.

Man's success can be understood as "climbing to the top". It is obviously easier to concentrate on climbing the mountain. If a mountain climbs halfway, it would be nice to see b mountain. After a few steps, Mountain B was attracted by Mountain C. Finally, most of them have been running around all their lives, exhausted and accomplished nothing.

A friend of mine works in a bank, mainly dealing with bad debts, and dealing with companies that used to be very prosperous and then closed down all day.

She said that the tragedies of many companies are the result of blind expansion-in fact, it is the enterprise that makes mattresses. Just one o'clock, the boss couldn't hold on, and then he made a bed. The bed was not profitable and the sofa was online again. The last big stall was spread out, and it was not strong enough and completely dead.

If we continue to produce mattresses, the company will become very powerful.

Like the girl I mentioned at the beginning: her ability is not bad. If she concentrates a little, there will definitely be good development. Unfortunately, her concentration is not enough, and the prospect is hard to say.

Psychologist Daniel Gorman said: concentration can affect a person's ultimate achievement more than IQ.

American psychologists have also done a long-term follow-up survey:

Children with an intelligence level of 50 have strong concentration, and most of them will become outstanding talents in various fields when they grow up. Children with insufficient concentration will be unhappy in life and work after many years, and they can only comfort themselves by believing that fate is God's arrangement.

Concentration is actually a psychological ability. In this era, this ability is more important than ever.

Because mankind has never faced so much information and temptation as it does today.

Every second, a huge amount of information will flock to you, and all kinds of hands are pulling you.

The temptation to "climb another mountain" is particularly great and the cost is particularly low. Climbing down the mountain is a great test.

But the law of the world is unchanged, and the truth that "it is easier to succeed if you persist in doing one thing" will not change.

So, if your concentration is strong enough, you may win the majority.

Of course, concentration alone is not enough to lead to success.

It is also important that you focus on what you are best at.

Back to Buffett.

Buffett is particularly sensitive to numbers. Now that he is over 80 years old, he can accurately say that the population of Omaha in 1930 is 2 14006.

He also likes thinking, and "thinking about business and investment" will make him very happy.

Bill Gates said that Buffett's ability to evaluate people and enterprises is particularly amazing. At best, he is Buffett's 1/5.

Therefore, investors are undoubtedly Buffett's best career.

If he had changed his career, he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.

Buffett's wife said that Buffett couldn't find the light switch at home and didn't know the color of the bedroom wall. Once she caught a cold and was bedridden, she said to Buffett, "I want to throw up." Go to the kitchen and get something for me. " Buffett agreed and ran to the kitchen. After a while, he brought a filter pot. The wife said, honey, this won't work. It is leaking. Buffett ran to the kitchen again, then came back and put the filter pot on the baking tray.

-if Buffett is a criminal policeman or a care worker, I'm afraid he won't live for a lifetime.

Therefore, focusing on what you are good at is as important as focusing on itself.

Some things you are really not good at are doomed to failure, so don't focus on them.

Work hard for 10 years, and you will be able to pull your disadvantages to the ordinary. For example, a person who knows nothing about the law can become an ordinary lawyer.

You can also turn your advantage into a sharp advantage. For example, a talented general practitioner has become a top medical expert.

Obviously, the latter thing will bring you more benefits and greater significance.

And greater honor, reward, reward and sense of accomplishment will also give you more motivation to stick to it.

When you clearly know that what you are doing is right, you will be extremely firm. Even if there are new temptations, even if the long repetition hurts your enthusiasm, you can be unmoved, continue to persist, make yourself more and more colorful in your experience, and finally stand out.

This firmness will also save you a lot of entanglement and anxiety.

You know, we wasted too much energy in the dilemma.

Of course, not all the things you are good at deserve your whole life's attention. If you are good at eating watermelon or painting oil, you must know which one to choose.

The social competition is so fierce that only by focusing on building your own longboard can you go further.

Everyone's energy is limited, so don't waste it on your own shortcomings-try to make your own advantages perfect, rather than let your advantages barely pass.

Ma Yun has been a fan of Faye Wong for many years, but how did he realize his dream of singing with Faye Wong?

It's not to improve plastic surgery, practice singing hard and enter the entertainment circle.

As long as he concentrates on Alibaba's business, Faye Wong will come to sing with him.

The biggest shortcut to success is to focus on what you are good at.

A really smart person will know how to concentrate and achieve the ultimate.

And then use this to support the whole life.

A valuable thing, you can do well, persist for a long time, and you will win in the end.

This is the best answer I can think of about how to succeed.

Others lose because they want too much, and you win because you focus on one thing. You must work hard, but don't worry, focus slowly. There are too many temptations in the world, so we must learn to concentrate.
