The road of life is long, but it also seems very short. Taking myself as an example, like writing a public account, I had this idea a year ago. But why did it take until now to implement it? There were too many previous thoughts, such as laziness, and I even thought that creating a public account was a difficult task. However, once I actually did it myself, I realized how simple it was. Is writing an article hard? It's just practice makes perfect.
Most people like to find excuses for themselves. Why? Because the human brain indeed prefers laziness. Many people would rather engage in very hard work than take a moment for deep thinking. Their hard work is forced, not a choice they made voluntarily; these two points are vastly different.
No matter what industry you are in, you will find one thing: the execution power of the strong is incredibly strong. They focus all their attention on their careers. You will find that they seem to not understand romance, avoid formalism, and can be stubborn, not considering others' feelings, often making decisions that are hard for ordinary people to understand. But why are they so successful? Because their execution power is too strong, without internal friction, they let go and take action. In a few months, a year, or two years, they will definitely succeed.
The strong only consider their own feelings; their behaviors seem unusual to ordinary people.
There are too many things in the world, with both major and minor paths. Many things may seem reliable on the surface but are actually minor paths, while the major path appears bleak and simple. The cultural wisdom from ancient times to the present has made it clear: the stronger you are, the simpler it is. Because time is limited, any detour is a waste of time.
Therefore, when you see certain things, learn to think independently. If others say it’s right, does that mean it must be right? If others say it’s wrong, should I consider whether it’s actually right?
To achieve extraordinary accomplishments, one must have a way of behaving that is different or even contrary to that of ordinary people.
For instance, in people's daily behavior nowadays, there is still more consumption, such as drinking, karaoke, and watching videos.
But they haven't considered how to avoid consumption and monetize their efforts. The purpose of learning anything is to earn money and grow. If what you learn is useless information, then it's a waste of time.
Only by creating content yourself and aligning with those who harvest wealth can you possess true commercial insight. How do you define harvesting? Everything that collects your wealth and makes you consume.
So why do some people seem to work hard but achieve nothing? Because they like to prepare, wait, get entangled in issues, and have internal friction, just not taking action. I believe you have encountered a classmate in school who was very serious about studying but still had poor grades. Do you think they really studied?
Internal friction is meaningless. The most important thing is to take immediate action to overcome that insurmountable threshold and reach that unattainable goal.
You like to fantasize. One day, two days, a month, two months of fantasizing won't change the current situation; it will only make your life worse.
Only if you take practical steps will reality change according to your fantasies.
For example, if you want to engage in self-media or live streaming, without going through the struggles, it's hard to understand the essence of it. However, as you keep executing and taking action, you will create your own space. From yesterday to now, 45 friends have newly followed my public account; this is just the beginning. Traffic will become increasingly valuable, more expensive, and harder to manage in the future. Why am I still doing this now? Because if I don't do it, there will be nothing.
If you take action, regardless of the industry or aspect, don't be afraid of being laughed at. As long as there is no internal friction and you continue to take action and produce results, you will definitely see outcomes. All of this comes from a single thought followed by action. There is actually a mountain between them, and I have wasted a year in between. I'm ashamed.
