I know a top student from Peking University. He told me that his IQ is 105, which is said to have just reached the average IQ of China people. The senior said that his admission to Peking University had nothing to do with IQ, just because he adhered to three concepts and methods.
First: super self-discipline
The Peking University scholar said that he was very self-disciplined from the beginning of his studies, and he would never turn on the TV or play games before finishing his homework every day. This good habit lasts from primary school to high school graduation. Other people's children, parents in order to urge their children to do homework, he never let their parents feel sad about it.
The senior also developed the habit of previewing new texts every day, which made it easy for him to understand the teacher's lecture in class the next day, unlike some students who were still confused after talking for a long time. It can be said that a high degree of self-awareness in learning is the first foundation to support him to enter Peking University.
Second, work hard.
The senior said that he can enter Peking University because he is more diligent than most people, not smarter than most people. When he entered senior high school, English was still his shortcoming, and he could only get 70 or 80 points in each exam. In order to change the shortcomings in English, seniors found junior high school textbooks and recited words and texts from beginning to end. Finally, as long as someone mentions the beginning of all the texts, he can recite them. After solving the text and words, the seniors began to buy a lot of test papers, did a lot of questions, and did all the exercises they could find over and over again until they basically solved the problems of words and grammar. Since then, his English has declined.
Third, it is super efficient.
Not only study hard, but also seniors are good at summing up experiences and lessons. Senior three students, whether in junior high school or senior high school, have prepared wrong problem books for each subject from the beginning, recording all the mistakes he made along the way. The senior said that some people can't get up in the exam results, not because they are stupid, but because they don't know the ways and means and always make the same mistakes. Of course, it is impossible to get good grades. The senior said that his greatest advantage is that he will hardly make mistakes twice in the same place, and every wrong question has become a monument on his way to the college entrance examination. On the eve of the college entrance examination, he reviewed these monuments one by one, easily entered the examination room, and finally got his wish to enter Peking University.
In a word, the experience of Peking University seniors tells us that IQ is innate, but learning depends more on the day after tomorrow than innate. It doesn't matter whether a person is self-disciplined, diligent and efficient. If a person is brilliant but unrestrained, lazy and inefficient, the door of Peking University Tsinghua will not be opened to him.
