I.

The so-called success is just trying to use the right place: how to find the right direction for you?

When it comes to talent, I have to mention someone.

This man was particularly obsessed with the violin in his youth. He practiced the violin as soon as he was free. However, everyone felt that the child was too lame to play and had no musical talent at all.

So the parents took the child to ask a famous violin teacher at the time. The teacher asked the teenager to play a song, and the result was flawed. The teacher asked the teenager, “Why do you particularly like to play the violin?” The teenager said, “I think Become a violinist like Paganini. “The teacher asked him,” Are you happy to play the violin? “The teenager said happy.

Then the teacher told him that since you are happy, you have already succeeded. Why stick to becoming a violinist?

The boy calmed down. He took the violin as his hobby, and was no longer subject to Paganini’s dream.

After growing up, this boy has achieved remarkable achievements in the physical world. His name is Albert Einstein.

There are many interpretations of this legend, but in my opinion, this is an excellent parable about talent:

1. Einstein likes the violin, but has no talent in playing the violin, so the talent may not be in what you think you like;

2. If Einstein did not get lost and return to the violin, then the world would lose an outstanding physicist, and the music industry would not have an extraordinary violin player. It takes the right place to succeed;

3. Even talented cattle like Einstein who have talents in physics have achieved remarkable achievements after many years of hard work. Therefore, the talents without hard work have no substantial meaning. , Can not form a superior ability.

Einstein later moved to the field of physics and was even more diligent.

A typical example. In 1904, when young Einstein was studying intensively, his son was born, so at home, he often held his son in one hand and did calculations. He was also a baby stroller in the street. Car sideThinking about his own research topic, when his wife and children fell asleep, he still wrote a dissertation outside the house.

Second,

The so-called success is just trying to use the right place: how to find the right direction for you?

1. Personality is not the determinant of talent.

I met a lot of consultants who claimed to be introverts, so I decided that I didn’t have the talent for sales.

  • In fact, personality is a coping style and mechanism for our long-term adaptation to the environment. It has its own characteristics, but it is not enough to become a major obstacle to our choice of profession. .

    For example.

    When I was a kid at my grandma ’s house, I once saw an old-fashioned adult. It does n’t mean how terrible he looks, but it may be because of his sturdy looks. Anyway, I was scared, and my grandma signaled me to call Uncle. But I just couldn’t open my mouth, so Grandma decided that I was “not prosperous.” From then on no matter what I did, she would say that I can’t do that or that.

    Over time, I rarely spoke at my grandma’s house. Even my grandma said that I was “little dumb” and I was too lazy to justify myself.

    In contrast, I go to my grandmother’s house a lot. My grandmother and grandfather are very kind. I told them the interesting stories I usually read from the books. They always smiled and praised me for being successful, but again, I still do n’t see the stranger who looks so friendly on the outside. I would like to speak, but my grandmother can always give me a round, saying that in fact I am quite polite, that is, it is slow and hot, and I am a little embarrassed to unfamiliar people.

    I told this past to many consultants who are called “introverts”, and gradually found out that in fact, the so-called introverts of many people are divided into environment and objects. This “introvert” itself will not affect normal social skills. , So it should not be bothered by career choices.

    You know, personality is just a way to adapt to the environment when you and I grow up. It has no meaning in itself, but you can find traces of talent by tracing the cause of your personality.

    2. Facing your desires, this is an important clue for talent.

    It was precisely because I was a child that I couldn’t speak freely anytime, anywhere, and my heart full of desire to express it, so I began to put it into words.

    For a while, I doubted whether I really had the talent for writing, so at that time, I was fortunate to have a friend with the help of a friendThe famous director had a meal and chat. When asked this question, he told me that in fact, talent is often related to desire. For example, he found that people who work in text and have achieved a characteristic have strong characteristics Express desire.

    • “Many talents are the form of desire. If you have a strong desire for one thing, no matter how bad the environment can’t stop you, keep going Will become your advantage, and at that time, you will have a new interpretation of the matter of talent. “Said the director.

      I gradually understand that in fact, the reason why I can achieve certain results in writing is because the desire to express behind has always pushed me forward, and logic and order are my abilities and advantages. It is precisely inseparable from my many years of financial work experience that has gradually formed a writing style.

      3. Assess your behavioral tendencies

      Talent is usually hidden and cannot exist in isolation. It can be mined from the behavioral tendencies presented in the course of doing things. Behavioral tendencies often include three ways of thinking, interpersonal style, and stress response.

      The so-called success is just trying to use the right place: how to find the right direction for you?

      3. How to find a career direction that suits you?

      For example: how to judge whether you are suitable for the training industry?

      First analyze what you want to do.

      Different training tasks have different requirements for traits. For example, a makeup trainer and a financial trainer are obviously two different traits.

      Second whether you have a strong desire.

      If you have a strong desire to express yourself, or even like a “good teacher” in your normal work life, then congratulations, you have the characteristics of engaging in the training industry.

      Next assess your behavioral tendencies.

      For example, how do you think? And how do you behave? For example, do you like to deal with people or do you like to deal with tasks? Are you doing better or worse in a stressful environment?

      Taking the training industry as an example ——

      • Compared with the creative characteristics of Tianmaxinghang, the logical thinking preferences under the framework may be more suitable for trainers;

      • Because the trainer is for the general public, people who like to deal with people are more suitable for the trainer industry, and those who like to deal with tasks are more suitable for companies to do analysis and other work;

      • People who do better in a stressful environment are suitable for the direction of the lecturer.

        Finally, do you have the relevant knowledge and capabilities?

        For example, do you have the required academic qualifications, certificates, or even relevant experience in the industry or field? and many more.

        The so-called success is just trying to use the right place: how to find the right direction for you?

        Of course it’s also important that other people’s feedback.

        After sorting out some ideas in the previous steps, if you are still not sure of your direction, ask the people around you to see what they are like in their eyes.

        To sum up, for many ordinary people, we are not talented, but everyone has something special. The earlier you find it, the more you can find the direction of hard work and live a cost-effective life. .

        The so-called success is just trying to use the right place: how to find the right direction for you?
