Why are so many geniuses mavericks, different ways of doing things, and even weirdos?

Because they don't stand on the same level as ordinary people. It's like a ladder that genius has already reached the top of victory when he is about to start climbing, and ordinary people like us have to climb up step by step through their own unremitting efforts. In the process of climbing, we may collapse, or we may fall down, but what about the lucky ones?

will also reach the other side of victory, but the proportion of this group of people is relatively small.

So in contrast, the geniuses, the winners, are the ones who stand in the beginning where most people can't get there anytime soon. So, from that point of view, they are lonely. Because they are in a higher position, they are able to think of things that we can't think of as a normal person.

It's like Haizi.

Why is he lonely, because he is a "genius poet", and his thoughts are not understandable to ordinary people. He has his truth, he has his beliefs, and he thinks it is beautiful. But all this is more like the nonsense of a "madman" to ordinary people.

Another example is Van Gogh.

The reason why Van Gogh painted such an advanced style of painting is because his enthusiasm is extremely burning, and his creative enthusiasm is also extremely burning, so he can understand the realm that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Therefore, his "Starry Sky" was able to draw a map of the starry sky with movement that technology could not detect at that time.

It should refer to the kind of person who is naturally rebellious, who is full of skepticism and will never believe in any so-called "truth". They will only do so if they have gone through the practice and proven that this is the case.

In all areas, there are such rebels. The famous scientist Albert Einstein is a typical example of this. Why, there is only a thin line between a genius and a madman.

In fact, many of the ideas of geniuses are as unrealistic (in the eyes of ordinary people) as madmen. The only difference is that these ideas of genius were eventually confirmed.

Because these geniuses are ahead of ordinary people's thinking, they are incompatible with ordinary people, so they can only be mavericks!

If you are a genius, he will be particularly outstanding in one aspect, but he will be slightly inferior in other aspects. So other people will seem to think they are more well-behaved. That's because they're really not good at it.

Why are many geniuses independent, mavericks, and different ways of doing things? Even weirdos, the quality of such people is too bad.

Because the thinking of a genius is very different from that of ordinary people, thinking determines behavior, and behavior determines results.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and everyone has their own ideas, and it is not strange that there are different opinions, for example, among all of us, they all like their cousin and think she is cute and amiable. But I am very disgusted with my cousin, she is in my eyes a person who has no tutoring, no quality, only wants to disturb others, is lazy to eat, every time I hear her voice, I am very upset, especially I don't want her to come to our house.

With so many people living in society, it is impossible for everyone to have the same point of view. Although everyone lives in this society, the environment and people that each person comes into contact with are different, so this situation will occur.

In fact, everyone is different, such as: your kindness, your intelligence, your personality, your knowledge, your style, your appearance, etc., are all unique, but people with self-confidence will feel that they are different. People are different, even twins are different, so I am unique in this world.

It's different, of course. Because even the leaves can't be exactly the same, as long as you believe in yourself, then, you are the most different!

Everyone is unique, so their ideas must be different, coupled with the environment in which each person lives, the education they receive, and the different backgrounds of individuals, which will lead to such differences, and such differences will make the society colorful many times.

Because people must not only introspect, but also have a pattern, in order to jump out of the pit of self-righteous shortcomings. What's even more cruel is that when people are self-righteous, it is easy to form a vicious circle and never jump, so there is such a situation, there are still many people who have not jumped out of the pit in the previous waves, and the back waves will go forward and enter the pit one after another, and they are overcrowded.

To be unique means to be more visible, to be more prominent, to be more distinctive. This increases the risk in one's life, the risk of being ostracized, the risk of being discussed, and being singled out as a typical risk. As a result, many people put on "normal" protective clothing to hide their true nature.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and they are all different, and social progress does require mavericks to jump out and break the routine and use it for innovation, so this is normal.

In fact, when it comes to this, really, I think I used to be different from others when I was a child, with a different family background from others, and a different life from others, I felt that I was different from others, and when I was young, others did think so, so they didn't play with me, and then I felt particularly inferior and conceited, so that it affected my later life.

Because they were very thoughtful people, and although sometimes their views were wrong, many times it was the maverick perspectives that drove the Industrial Revolution forward.

There are all kinds of wonders in the world, there are all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of food! With the era of network transparency, all kinds of imitations, all kinds of chic, all kinds of capricious. Of course, there are also innate personality and personal growth environmental factors, and the styling is challenging and cool.

Of course, it is a bit willful to observe from an incomprehensible angle!

Sometimes those ideas are unique and not popular, so that the public can not accept, the more others can not accept, and at the same time they also feel that they are capable, right, do not rule out blindness, the more they can not accept other people's views, over time it is a little abrupt, making people feel maverick, alone.

Capable and thoughtful people do not deliberately go it alone, often because they insist on what they think is the right direction and way of doing things, so they behave out of place.

In the world, there are many living beings, how many outstanding people are there? If you want to be successful, you have to be different from others!

It's not that I like to be a maverick, but I don't have like-minded people. **People have ** circles, readers have reading circles, and businessmen have business circles.

And why those who have the ability are mavericks is because although they are in this circle, their thinking is different from other people in the circle, for example, a factory with 3,000 workers only eats and works every day, but there is a worker who plays ** and reads, he is different from the workers.

A businessman, in the current era of mercenary and smiling with a knife, he always wants to treat people sincerely, then he is different from others, different from people in the circle, and in the eyes of outsiders, he has become a maverick.

Mavericks and loners are not necessarily deliberately pretended, but the ideas of capable people themselves are not understandable to ordinary people, so they are always regarded as unsociable.

As the saying goes: The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird?

Quite simply, what they think is not understood by others.

In this era of herd mentality, independent thinking personalities can easily be regarded as alternatives! Sometimes even make such an assumption, in the eyes of "mentally ill" people, are "normal people" also sick? So, people with maverick ways of thinking should learn to enjoy solitude!

I'm quite a maverick, but I'm not a genius, I only have some talent, I just feel that my ideas are different from others, and I feel that I insist on being right, people around me say I'm sick, and I'm not very willing to contact people, and I'm a little afraid of society.

Reference: I believe that there is no truly maverick in this world who will take "maverick" as his original intention. And those who deliberately pursue "mavericks" will inevitably end up becoming a grandiose layman.

Just because, "maverick" is not a behavior, not a temperament, not a pursuit, and not a choice that can be thought about before and after. It is a kind of resistance, a kind of rebellion consciousness that arises deep in the heart after being oppressed by a strong force. This oppression usually comes from two aspects – the environment and the spirit.

The more he is an enemy of the world, the more he longs for the world's recognition of him.

As an ordinary person, instead of thinking about whether to be a "maverick" person, we should first think about whether we are oppressed in any way. Without oppression, there can be no resistance, and without resistance, there is no way to talk about "mavericks". And if you are fortunate or unfortunate enough to be a "maverick", you will lose more than you gain.

If you want to live an ordinary life, you will encounter ordinary setbacks. If you want to live your best life, you will definitely encounter the strongest injuries. The world is very fair, if you want the best, it will definitely give you the most pain; If you want to experience the chic of "maverick", you must first lose the ordinary and simple pleasure.

"Maverick" is like a bridge on a dead end. The people who walked on the bridge had already been forced to a desperate situation by fate.

If possible, I would prefer that there is no such thing as a "maverick" in this world. We don't have to follow the crowd anymore, and we don't have to be grandstanding. Everyone is free to express their preferences and pursue their dreams without any scruples.

All people can be respected as an individual, without having to be different in order to stand out from the crowd and struggle to live a decent life. What's more, there will be no more watching others leave because of a "staircase" that cannot be stepped on.

I hope that everyone is unique because they are ordinary, but not ordinary because they are unique.

The benefit is freedom and uniqueness.

Relatively mavericks, no matter what the outcome is, the process is really not something that the mass group can replicate.

When the masses are hurrying to the east, you will naturally see the scenery that others can't see.

To put it bluntly, there is a relatively unique life journey.

Of course, mavericks also have to have certain conditions, you know, a loner and a weirdo who doesn't have much income, but in terms of appearance, it's really higher than the public**.

And cynics, who don't work much and travel a lot, also have more material assets than the average salaried person.

And some people who are outside the mass world have a very rich inner world.

Maverick is an attitude and temperament that has its own opinions and does not follow the crowd, and there is nothing good to talk about. People often think that geniuses or legends are mavericks, but no one realizes that it is not necessarily geniuses or legends who are mavericks. There is no necessary connection between being a genius and being a maverick, and there is no causal relationship between the two.

If you don't have to tie it up, it can be said that maverick is something that many geniuses and legends have shown in the process of completing their careers, nothing more.

Writer Yang Daxia believes that maverick is a kind of personality and demeanor.

Writer Yang Daxia describes, independent and special, talks about mystery, arrogant and reckless, swims in sobriety and intoxication, and is lost in pain and madness.

Chinese's life pursuit is relatively simple, and they care a lot about how others see themselves, since the society is centered on material life, under the domination of herd psychology, people will naturally go to show their success.

Westerners' life pursuits are more diverse. Even the Japanese are much richer than the Chinese in terms of diversified pursuit of the value of life.

The question that this friend asked was actually a cultural issue, and I found it very interesting. I have vaguely felt the contrast between Chinese and Western cultures in the pursuit of life goals. In the case of the liberal arts graduate and undergraduate students I have come into contact with, as far as I know from my years of teaching, there are not many students who choose this major out of a strong love for their major.

Not long ago, I met a female American professor who came to Shanghai for a conference. Eighteen years ago, when I was a graduate student at Nanjing University, I became good friends with this international student who studied Chinese history.

She now teaches at a lesser-known university in New England, and she says she wants to retire early so that she can have enough time to study Chinese culture and history freely, because she is so busy with classes that she lacks most of all she has.

She also said that she lives a simple life, and as long as she saves some money, she will not have problems living after early retirement.

This attitude of living in which academics are regarded as the most important value in life is not uncommon in the United States. In American universities, the income of a faculty assistant in the humanities is not so attractive, however, there are often dozens of PhDs or postdocs who would rather not go to a company to make a lot of money and come to apply, and the competition for college faculty positions is fierce.

I once asked an American friend why so many people in the United States choose to pursue a liberal arts degree when it is so difficult to get a liberal arts faculty position at a university. This friend told me that they made this choice because they really wanted to study philosophy, history, literature and art, and they really made it their passion.

At present, the simplification and homogeneity of Chinese's value pursuit have been deeply experienced by me in my daily life. I remember one night, when my bicycle broke down and I was repairing it at a car stall, the title of a book "History of Western Philosophy" on the frame was shown to a middle-aged man resting on the side of the road, who looked at me in surprise as if he had suddenly discovered an alien, and said to himself, "Ha!

Philosophy! What time is it now, and there are still people reading philosophy! ”
