What does it mean to be successful? I took a copy of the Modern Chinese Dictionary and wrote: "Success, get the desired results." "It's concise and clear.
However, when it comes to "expectations", it is intricate and confusing. Everyone has different expectations at all times, every day, every month, some successes, some failures, in short, it is impossible to define or classify, we will not talk about it.
I'm just talking about success here, and how to succeed in particular. It's another big topic, but I'm only doing it on a small scale. After 70 or 80 years of experience, I have come up with the following formula: Talent + Diligence + Opportunity = Success.
Talent", I originally wanted to use "genius", but genius is a rare phenomenon, and many of them are "partial talents", so I abandoned it and used "talent" instead, and everyone can understand it at a glance. This formula is an oversimplification, but the implications are clear. It's too cumbersome, but it's not easy to explain clearly.
When talking about talent, we must first admit that talent is different between people, and this is a fact that no one can deny. In the ten years of catastrophe, people who pretend to be geniuses actually sell what kind of medicine are sold in a large number of genius gourds, and I still don't understand. Today, it is not uncommon to find people in academia and literary circles who claim to be geniuses, and I dare not praise them except for envying them for "feeling too good about themselves".
As for my own talent, I think it's better to be objective and realistic.
As for diligence, it has always been praised by the ancients. Stories such as capsule fireflies, reflecting snow, hanging beams, and thorn stocks have been passed down for thousands of years and are well-known. Han Wengong's "incineration of anointing oil to follow the sundial, and constant vulture to poor years" is more desirable for readers.
If you are not diligent, no matter how talented you are, it is useless. The matter is clear, and there is no need to rap.
When it comes to opportunities, they are often overlooked. It exists, and sometimes it has a great impact. Take me as an example, if Tsinghua University hadn't sent me to study in Germany, my life would not be like this at all.
Taking the three conditions of success as an analysis, talent is determined by "heaven", and there is nothing we can do. Opportunities come unexpectedly, and we can't do anything about it. Only diligence is our own decision, and we must work this one.
Here, too, there are many teachings from the ancients. Let's start with Han Wengong. He said:
Industry is good at diligence, and absurdity is frolic; Actions are made in thought, and destroyed in follow. These two sentences are familiar to everyone.
Wang Jing'an said in "Words in the World": "Those who have become great careers and university scholars in ancient and modern times must go through three realms: 'Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world.
This first realm also. 'The belt gradually widened, and he did not regret it, and he made people haggard for Yi. 'This second realm also.
The crowd looked for him, and when they turned around, they saw that the man was there, and the lights were dim. 'This third realm also. "Mr. Jing'an's first scene is to write expectations.
The second realm is written about diligence. The second realm is about success. Talent and opportunity are not written in it.
I dare not say that this is his omission, because it is written from a different angle. However, I think it seems more comprehensive to make up for the talents and opportunities. I hope that everyone can take out the spirit of "never regretting the gradual widening of the belt" to engage in learning or doing business, which is the only way to succeed.

Although there are thousands of paths to success, for middle school students in the school stage, diligence is a shortcut to success. Only diligence can absorb more knowledge, move towards success and create brilliance. I hope that the students can strengthen their confidence, work hard, fight for a spring, summer, autumn and winter, and fight without regrets.

In Mr. Ji Xianlin's book "Talking about Life", there is a short article entitled "Success".
For the word success, Mr. first started with the explanation of the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", and for the definition of "to obtain the expected results", Mr. praised it as "concise and clear".
Mr. said that he had "accumulated seventy or eighty years of experience" and had come up with a formula for success, which was: talent + diligence + opportunity = success.
Then, Mr. analyzed what he said about the three elements of success. Talent is determined by "heaven", and we can't do anything about it; Opportunities come unexpectedly, and we can't do anything about it; Only diligence is completely our own decision, and we must work this item.
Mr.'s discussion was vivid and incisive, and he took the three realms of the well-known Wang Guowei's "Words in the World" as a metaphor, thinking that the first realm of "last night the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world" was written as expected; The second realm of "I don't regret the gradual widening of the clothes belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi", which is written about diligence; The third realm of "looking for him in the crowd, and looking back, that person is in the lamplight", it is written about success.
With such a simple stroke of genius, Mr. persuaded the world to succeed, and a warm love was in it, which was awe-inspiring.
For the way to success, in many cases, the world is easy to know, but difficult to do, so in this world, there are always the majority of people who have expectations, and there are always very few successful people.
As I understand it, there is another element implied in the three elements of Mr. Success, which can be called "persistence". Therefore, the formula of "talent + diligence + opportunity = success", plus the word "persistence", is written as "talent + diligence + opportunity + persistence = success", which is also very reasonable.
We ordinary people do things, don't talk about success or not, but we can be diligent and persistent, which is a small understanding of my husband's concept of success.

I haven't had a good understanding of success, but I like to simply understand success as doing what I like to do, living the life I want to live, doing things according to my own wishes, and doing everything well is considered success. Because everyone sets different standards for success for themselves, there are high and low, so in my heart, success is not a big deal.
After half a lifetime, although I don't think I am very successful, I am also very content, because my experience tells me that no matter what system unit I go to, no matter who I work for, no matter what difficulties I encounter, as long as I am humble and cautious, not arrogant or impatient, study diligently, work hard, what I have learned is something that others cannot take away, the experience and experience honed are my own, the success I have obtained is also my own, the joy is also from my heart, and I have a sense of accomplishment when I look back carefully.
Today, I read Mr. Ji Xianlin's "Success", which makes me have a deeper understanding of the meaning of success, this old man with great wisdom inspires us: if we love our family deeply, we expect our family to share the joy of success through struggle; If we are parents and want to set an example for our children, please take the initiative to choose the mentality of diligence and success from now on, and we will definitely realize our ideals in life!

Reading Ji Xianlin's "Success", I learned the importance of hard work. "Talent + diligence + opportunity = success", and all we can do is diligence. Diligence is about laying the foundation, so that when the opportunity comes, you can take advantage of it and succeed.
Without diligent effort, you can only watch him pass by when the opportunity comes. However, "opportunity" is also very important, if there is only hard work, but no opportunity, it is also in vain. All we can do is be diligent, we can only work hard.
