Ordinary people, especially those who have read a little, often do not learn anything really useful. They are easily addicted to static and shallow knowledge, and use it to replace the understanding of complex reality. It is strange that they can succeed.
They always feel that they have to be fully prepared before starting to do anything. They waste too much time and energy on so-called theories and learning. Even if there is a little bit that they feel is not enough, it becomes an excuse to hinder their actions. In this process, time passed unknowingly, and they learned a lot of meaningless things, but ultimately achieved nothing.
Really useful things come from repeated trial and error, iteration, and practice in action. All successful middle and high-level people have a strong and direct goal orientation. Preparation is necessary, but it is enough to have a nearly perfect answer. The remaining specific answers are gradually improved in action. They solve problems one by one in action, and they are more flexible than planning beforehand. The complexity and randomness that are difficult for outsiders to understand are resolved by them through action.
In addition, the middle class, especially the children of institutional families, are very likely to subconsciously resist the above logic because it is completely inconsistent with their education. Especially those who have been taking exams all the way and have been honest since childhood, they can't understand what is going on. The result is obvious that their way out is as limited as their cognition.
