Success is doing the right thing at the right time
July 9th, 2022

Who is not eager for success? How to succeed, especially how to achieve rapid success, has become a problem that many people cannot put down in their hearts. Therefore, in order to find a shortcut, people often imitate successful people and expect to clone the same success. But success never knocks on their door. They were puzzled: why?
In fact, many times, people don't lack diligence and persistence, but why don't they succeed? At this time, you need to calm down and think about what you can do and what you are suitable for. Don't always stare at the success of others. The light will be dazzling and make you confused in direction, so that you just want to be others, not yourself. In a word, sometimes, success is not as simple as dripping water wears stone. It's not enough to dance at the sound of a chicken. You have to know yourself well.
Therefore, smart people will not copy the success of others, but fully understand themselves and do what they should do at the right time.
There is a fable that is very interesting: an eagle swoops down to catch a sheep, catching one accurately. The crow was very envious, so he dived like an eagle to catch the sheep. As a result, his claws were caught by the wool, struggling and easily caught by the shepherd. The shepherd's son asked the shepherd, "Why are crows so easy to catch?" The Shepherd said, "because he forgot what bird it is!"
We can't completely deny this crow's behavior. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. Crows are eager for success and have the ideal of catching sheep, which is not wrong. But the end of the crow is very sad, and the reason is thought-provoking: if the crow knew that he was just a crow, no matter how much practice it could not practice the ability to dive in the air and catch sheep, it would not do that. It can be seen that only by knowing your qualifications, strengths and weaknesses, developing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and working hard in fields suitable for you, can you have a chance of success.
There are many negative examples, such as learning to walk in Handan and imitating others. They all tell the same story.
Take a look at the story of Li Ning, the prince of Gymnastics:
Li Ning plans to retire after achieving three gold, two silver and one copper achievements in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. At this time, Li Ning was 25 years old and full of injuries. It was time to quit the sports world, both in terms of age and physical condition. In the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, the national team let Li Ning take the lead in the case of being out of time. Li Ning, who knew it was not suitable but did not want to bear the reputation of ingratitude, took part in it, and was defeated in Seoul. This failure made him deeply realize that he is not suitable to be a gymnast anyway. If he retires, he may create new brilliance in his life. When he got off the plane back home, he walked alone on the passage dozens of meters away without flowers and applause. This is a gray passage called "the way of the world" by Li Ning. Well, this gray way made him learn to think, re understand himself, and better understand what time is suitable for doing, what is not suitable for doing, and how to be the master of time and success.
Later, as we all know, Li Ning created the famous Li Ning brand sportswear and promoted the development of China's sports industry. He not only created sports miracles, but also created brilliant business.
Only by doing the right thing at the right time can we know ourselves, manage ourselves and live a wonderful life.
