Why do 99% of people eventually become mediocre?
A large part of the reason is that they seek too much from outside.
When they were young, they wanted to do something earth-shattering to prove that they were extraordinary. As a result, they suffered setbacks after entering society and gradually realized that they were just an ordinary member of the masses. So they began to accept their fate, go with the flow, and eventually became mediocre.
This is the result of seeking from outside. Measuring yourself by external results, you don’t know that failure is the norm and success is accidental.
Therefore, most people will think that they are not good enough because of setbacks, and eventually be content with mediocrity, while a small number of people will eventually become destiny because of luck.
If you seek from within and use your own growth as a yardstick, this kind of thing will not happen easily.
Just like Lei Jun said, "I always feel that I am still growing every moment."
Because as long as we are willing to do self-growth, we can see the results. And this kind of external results due to the continuous pursuit of self-growth will definitely make you surpass the vast majority of people.
This is the best solution to not being content with mediocrity.
