If the distinction between mediocrity and mediocrity is based on the amount of wealth, then it is a relatively answerable question!
Because of the different perceptions, the pursuit of different, the eyes of others see different! A lot of literary scientists who were born in the starting point has been far above others, their pursuit of things is no longer to make money, but a higher level of demand, or the realization of self-worth.
Here only discuss entrepreneurship to make money, then it is quite a good answer: seven points rely on hard work, three days destined! The three points are destined, just like the face, family history, luck, can not change, bad results, let's not talk about it.
Seven points rely on hard work, because it is an ordinary person, ordinary represents almost the same resources as others, then the need to pay must be more, for example, the need for many years of accumulation in order to meet the start-up capital, and then time has changed, when the project may have been pre-empted, even if it is not pre-empted, entrepreneurial success is a systematic project that requires all aspects, too much by-laws, the ordinary people noticed that 90%, there is a possibility of success, there is a possibility of failure, but the average person fails it is difficult to get up again, can not afford to lose! Whether it is time, experience, wealth, family, have not given ordinary people much support! Even a lot of it is detained ....
Alas, do not say, say more to remember their own once magnificent, now the mediocrity, is really difficult...
Because most people, are ordinary.
The wealth and power of the world is in the hands of only a few 18 -20% of the people, the remaining 80% or even more people are mediocre.
But, depending on how you define mediocrity
In the eyes of a child, everything that brings him something new, something he can't do, he thinks, someone like that, so great!
In the age of information networks, the leaders of all kinds of fields, in the eyes of the little white man is a great god .
In short, mediocrity is relative, depending on how to define, maybe the mediocrity in your eyes, in the right scene is a "god-level" characters; maybe in your eyes is very extraordinary characters, in the eyes of others, is mediocre.
No need to feel troubled, do a good job, why care about the word "mediocre"?
Heroes make heroes, and heroes drive the course of history. This is the general law of historical development. In the process of historical development, there are many mediocre people and few heroes. This is also true.
The ordinary is not the same as the mediocre. The role of the ordinary and the heroic can also be accomplished in a flash. This requires a specific time and social environment.
The hero is also ordinary, when the time, place, people and other conditions are available, ordinary people have accomplished one or more extraordinary feat, the hero is born.
It is often said that people do not walk without a head, and birds do not fly without a head. Once the crisis came, there must be arm raised, which completed the transformation of ordinary and heroes.
Those who raise their arms must be a minority. But the followers are many. This is in line with secular culture, because we have long been saying that "the rafters rot first, the gun hits the head of the bird".
From the development of history, it is not difficult to find such a phenomenon. Whenever the society is in turmoil, the capable people come out, when the social stability of the capable people are buried in the field, silent. Is this the arrangement of God? We still need to seek an answer in history as well.
The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings at the end of the Qin Dynasty were quelled in a short period of time, but they left behind embers that eventually burned into a prairie fire. As we all know, Liu Bang and a group of brothers came to the center of the stage of history. Before the Snake Rebellion, Liu Bang was a lowly official, and it was hard to tell whether he would be able to join the Qin government or not. In the eyes of his father, he was an idler. In the end, he created the Han Dynasty, and his brothers were ranked as ministers, so he was clearly not a mediocre person.
At the end of East Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three brothers, were originally the generation of weaving mats and peddling shoes, slaughtering pigs and dogs. Since the Peach Orchard, they have created a great career.
From this, we can see that the ability to practice the calcined, innate may be a flash point and their own. People's flashpoints and potential is diverse, may be everyone has some kind of potential, just the vast majority of people did not find the right platform, not all the time, geographical location and people and the objective conditions, the strengths have not been played. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
In the era of peace, society is stable, and people's behavior is guided by morality and the legal system. Individual actions will develop in the direction designed by society. Only when an individual's potential meets the social norms can he or she be realized and stand out. The potential that does not meet the needs of society will be hidden. At this point, there are relatively more ordinary people.
The reasoning is very simple: in the war years, if you can fight, you will be a hero; in the peace years, if you fight and hurt people, you will be committing a criminal act.
Life is never short of beauty, only the lack of eyes to find beauty, if there has never been a majority of people's mediocrity, which is how to set off the minority of the elite of the beauty of it?
So we have to recognize or get used to the mediocrity of the majority of people is the norm of life, is the manifestation of the majority of the average of the exposed **** sex, but only the average, is the material level of the standard things, but also the mediocrity of the field that we can see with the naked eye!
But everything in the world is an independent individual existence, the idea is very different, as 10,000 people have 10,000 Hamlet in their hearts, we can perceive most of the people in the heart and spirit of the world is not willing to mediocrity, but we inevitably have inertia, the herd mentality, and do not dare to offend the authority, which leads to a lot of people will be easy to accept the viewpoints of others, and indirectly obtain and agree with The fact that we have to be able to get the best out of our own ideas and thoughts makes us look like we have our own ideas and beliefs, which makes us look like we are so mediocre and boring!
Today, when I was listening to Logical Thinking, I heard a very interesting point of view that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, which is a paradox.
He said, for example, I am a golf amateur, and a golf world champion game, how would I compare? Would I say, "Let's play a full 18 holes?
No, I wouldn't, because the difference in level is so great that I would lose if I played more. So, if I had the chance to decide the system, I would say, let's just play one hole, one shot to win. Because there is still a chance that I might win one.
This example shows that people who have an advantage should wait for the probabilities to stabilize themselves, which is the best and most rational strategy to maintain their advantage. An expert golfer should have played me a few more times. Play me normally and he will win.
That is to say, people who have an advantage, the advantage itself is their hold, and their every action needs to be considered too much.
And ordinary we may start low, but if we have the courage to gamble with fate, there may be surprises waiting for us ahead.
But most of the ordinary people always can not survive a point. This point is the "tipping point", which is a small point that determines your success or failure.
Let's say that the lotus flowers in a pond, each day will be 2 times the number of the previous day in the open. If on the 30th day, all the flowers will be in bloom, on what days will the pond be full of flowers? On what days will half of the flowers in the pond be in bloom? Day 15?
Wrong! It was the 29th day.
Many people's lives are like the lotus flowers in the pond, they always think they are going to do something big, and they push too hard at the beginning, and they don't see the results on the 10th day, 20th day, but they feel that their strength has been used up. Even some people choose to give up on the 29th day.
Yesterday mentioned the law of compound interest, that is 37 times more powerful than you are now is also the accumulation of 356 days before the results.
So why is it that the vast majority of people are mediocre? Because many people's lives may have encountered many opportunities, and even made a move. But because they didn't stick to it until the day the lotus bloomed and gave up.
So mediocre us if you feel that your opportunity to come, go to the desperate, and in the desperate road must insist. So tomorrow let's talk about ways to force yourself to persevere.
This is just in comparison, there is no comparison where there is mediocrity or mediocrity. Any stage of human beings will have such a comparison, there is a comparison will have evolution, progress. In the historical process of human evolution, genes will be mutated, there are two main types of gene mutation, one is bad, not adapted to the environment to be eliminated, one is to become more adapted to the environment to be retained, the mutation into a good gene situation is rare, so the evolution of human beings will be 10,000 years or even hundreds of thousands of years. People are not genetically identical, such as high or low IQ, tall or short, fat or thin, hair and body color, etc. There are individual differences. For a person to be successful, the following aspects are often involved: good genes (intelligence, physical), acquired efforts (often related to genes), good environment (partly related to family and genes), perseverance (related to environment and genes), uncertainty of opportunities, and so on. So successful people are naturally a minority, the majority of people are just like an animal as inexorably come to the world to walk around, the so-called success of the person's responsibility to survive is that should provide a variety of necessary conditions for the masses, as far as possible, to protect them from all aspects of the confusion, after all, their excellence is baked by the majority of mediocre people.
The reason why most people live mediocre lives is because there is no awakening!
The big dream who first realized, mediocre life I know. People have two births, the first is when they croak, the second is the awakening of life! Unfortunately, most people are not born a second time and do not complete the awakening of life! Mortals spend their lives in the clouds, blankly going with the flow, living a muddled life, not knowing why they are alive! Those who have awakened realize that they have everything within themselves, and that they have come to this world in order to repay kindness and to give love! The only way to do that is to love people as you love yourself, and to love things as you love yourself!
Tian Xing Jian gentleman to self-improvement; ground potential Kun gentleman to virtue! The time of awakening, people strive to do good, so that the world is beautiful because of themselves, so that all beings are happier and more joyful because of themselves! I am happy to be in the world, and I am worried about the world! The only thing you can do is to think of the benefits and the people!
People have great love, natural achievement extraordinary life! [Prayer]
Because mediocrity is a relative concept. This world is always the law of two or eight distribution. There is always only 20% that are truly excellent. Because if you're struggling, so is everyone else. Comparing yourself with yourself, you may have made progress and improved. Comparing yourself to others, you may have made progress and improvement, while others may have made progress and improvement, depending on who is making faster progress and who is making better progress. But the quality of this progress is completely different, because your family background and educational environment, etc., etc., etc., completely different, the starting point is not the same, you jump out of that circle jump out of that class is a very difficult thing, because they are your thinking can reach the farthest place. The most important thing is that mediocrity has nothing to do with living a happy, healthy life. So 80% of the people are very mediocre, so they are not happy, not happy? Do you have to be in that 20% to be happy and joyful? Happiness and happiness should have nothing to do with anything material. I have particularly good examples around me. There is a neighbor whose sons and daughters went to Harvard-Yale. And they stayed in the United States after graduation, got green cards, and have very good jobs. Top positions in multinational companies. Must be within 20%. But never go home. Too busy. In contrast, our other neighbor. His sons and daughters set up a stall in front of the door, selling soybean milk and doughnuts. Like you and me, it must be 80%. But this neighbor of mine is living a much happier life. Taking a walk tomorrow morning, square dancing at night. During the daytime go to the stall and help your son or daughter out. Have a meal with them at noon. One can clearly feel that his level of psychological nourishment is obviously different. Want to wear the crown, must become its weight ah.
Every morning, I was downstairs at the breakfast stand drinking spicy soup on the doughnut head, and then looked around the busy people, students with backpacks to school, there is a rush to carry the breakfast side of the young people walking and eating, there are bent over waving the broom sanitation workers, and so on! Do you say they are mediocre? No, for the ideal, they are working hard, but the ideal is not the same, the child in order to get better grades, young people in order to better life, sanitation workers in order to clean the city.
No matter for what ideals, for what people, all people are trying to move forward in a good direction. Just the ability to different, we are engaged in different industries, the industry is good to give people a feeling of niubility, the industry is not good to feel that this person is very general, in fact, most people are in the ordinary workplaces to do different contributions, so we are very ordinary, but we are not mediocre!
From the social standards: the definition of mediocrity is with wealth, status, power, etc.. And these standards are the inevitable trend of social development. In other words, there are too few people at the top of the pyramid and too many people at the bottom. Without a large number of mediocre people, there would be no small number of people at the top.
Don't try to talk about some messy way to make a person not mediocre. The forces of this society and era are too strong for anyone to resist. Against the good will of heaven will only appear in the novel.
Even if there are many ways to make a person powerful, for this society, the water rises, the conclusion is still the same: most people are very mediocre.
I want to draw a dividing line.
Mediocrity is defined by society. But people live in life, so life does not define mediocrity for you.
What is mediocrity in life? There is no mediocrity in life, every living person is great, even if it is a good-for-nothing person, even if it is a criminal. Because for life itself, existence is greatness.
