I obviously study harder than others and write more questions. Why do I count down as soon as I take the exam?
I work the most overtime and work hardest in the whole company. Why is my performance not good?
I'm already working hard, forgetting to sleep and eat, giving up vacation, why I still have no grades?
You or your friends, have anyone raised this question?
Yeah, why?
Obviously very hard and diligent!
Why can't I get the expected result?
Is it "unfair destiny"?
Is it "the heavens teasing"?
Is it "inadequate talent"?
The answer may lie in "lazy diligence", a hot topic that has recently maxed out on social platforms such as Weibo and Zhihu.
What exactly is diligence?
What is laziness?
Just as some netizens who have made a thorough self-analysis have said, too many people have not figured out the essence and difference between the two.
When I was studying, I brushed a lot of questions and memorized a lot of books, but only repetitive mechanical operations. I am afraid I can’t tell how many brains I have moved. So of course, I’ve already done it for those who can, and I still won’t for those who don’t...
At work, I spent a lot of shifts and stayed up a lot of nights, but the superficial hard work is actually extremely inefficient, and not much valuable and meaningful work is done. Therefore, the business ability often stays in place for a long time, or even if I don’t make progress. Retreat...
It may sound a bit prickly, but the good medicine is bitter.
Real diligence should be perseverance and high efficiency to do meaningful things, rather than being satisfied with superficial hard work, using low-value and low-return hard work to "self-moved" and "self-intoxicated."
To use an analogy, it is like running. When you choose the right direction, even if it's just a five-minute run, the actual effect is far better than five hours of walking in circles.
The latter may seem more "hard work" and "paying" more, but he will not be closer to his destination because of this.
Take another example in Guo Degang's cross talk. People asked you to build a 70-meter chimney. You dig a 70-meter well with sweat and sweat all day long and then go to hand over the work. Guess whether the boss will pay you to pay for it?
Finding the right direction and method will always be a thousand times more valuable and meaningful than the headless fly-style "lazy diligence"!
Therefore, if you really want to progress and realize your dreams, don't let yourself fall into the quagmire of "just looking hard", and don't let yourself be satisfied with the superficial sense of accomplishment brought by "lazy diligence" Don't let yourself use inefficient and worthless false efforts to self-anaesthetize and deceive yourself.
After all, even if your "lazy diligence" can deceive yourself, it will not deceive the corresponding feedback of study, life and work, let alone deceive the god of fate!
Please replace false efforts with real diligence, replace low-value efforts with high-efficiency diligence, and replace self-deception efforts with self-realization diligence...
