There are too many. Edison who is sniping upstairs is a very representative example. Newton should not be very typical. As a physicist, his physics scores cannot always be poor. For example, in the thousand-year history of China's imperial examinations, there are countless people who won the first prize, but how many will be remembered by future generations. The poster probably wants to say that it is not appropriate to judge a person's future achievements by grades. Of course, academic grades can only show your achievements in learning book knowledge during this period of time, that is, in a certain period of time, in a certain aspect. Results. But it cannot be said that achievements and dreams are in conflict. Human energy is limited, and it is inevitable to focus on one thing and lose another. However, everything should be done step by step, and there is no absolute need to give up learning completely. For example, Miyuki Nakajima graduated from college at the age of 23 and started her own music career. At this age, Yamaguchi Momoe even retired, but this did not hinder her music creation. Here is an excerpt from Tao Xingzhi The gentleman’s article probably talks about the basic elements of success
Some people say: The environment is too ordinary to create. Ordinary things are nothing more than a piece of white paper. Bada Shanren painted it with a few strokes and turned it into a precious masterpiece with Mao Zedong at the airport. Ordinary things are nothing more than a piece of stone, but in the hands of Phidias and Michelangelo, they can become immortal statues.
Some people say: Life is too monotonous to be creative. Nothing is as monotonous as being in prison, but in prison, the hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" were produced, the "Song of Righteousness" was produced, the national anthem of the Soviet Union was produced, and "The Autobiography of Nehru" was produced. Nothing could be more monotonous than a desert, and Lesseps was able to build the Suez Canal in the desert, connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. It's not as boring as a meat bun shop, but here, ordinary and great Ping Lao Jing is born.
It can be seen that ordinary and monotonous is just an excuse for lazy people. Since it is no longer ordinary and monotonous, there is no need to create. We want to create extraordinary out of the ordinary; create extraordinary out of the monotonous. Some people say: I am too young to create, and they laugh at the name of a young graduate student. But when you read to him the childhood research life of Mozart, Edison, and Pascal, who broke through his father's mathematical blockade, he was speechless again.
Some people say: I am too incompetent to create. But Zeng Shen, a dull man, passed on the teachings of Confucius, and Huineng, who was illiterate, passed on Huang Mei's teachings. Hui Neng said: "The inferior people have the superior wisdom." How can we give up on ourselves? It can be seen that incompetence is also an excuse. Silkworms can still spin silk after eating mulberry leaves. Do we eat white rice every day and contribute nothing except making excrement?
Some people say: When we are at the end of our rope, we are at the end of our rope, we are in a desperate situation, we are just waiting to die, we cannot create. However, Xuanzang, who faced the Eighty-one Dilemma, finally obtained the Buddhist scriptures; Columbus, who was cut off from food and water and betrayed his relatives, finally discovered America; Mozart, who was under the triple oppression of cold and starvation disease, finally wrote the "Requiem". Despair is a coward's fantasy. Goethe said: Without courage, everything is lost. Yes, the way out is to have the courage to find out, step out, and create. This is only half the truth. When a hero has no use, in addition to the ax of fearlessness, he must also have the sword of wisdom, the faith and will of King Kong, in order to carve out a way out. As the old saying goes: poverty leads to change, and change leads to success. It takes wisdom to know how to become enlightened, and it takes a fearless spirit and the belief and will of Vajra to become enlightened.
So everywhere is a place of creation, every day is a time of creation, and everyone is a creator. Let us at least take two steps, take one step back, and move towards the road of creation
