Chapter 26 The Psychology of Knowledge-Deciphering the Code of Effective Learning (4)
Interest refers to the conscious tendency of people to try to know something and engage in an activity.It is manifested as people's selective attitude and positive emotional response to something or an activity.

Interest is your best mentor. Do what you are interested in and what you want to do, and you are more likely to succeed.

You should try to ask yourself: what is special about me?What qualities do I have that others don't?What do I feel most comfortable doing?What am I doing really well?What are my hobbies?What are my natural talents?Is there anything I do that comes naturally?What will I do in my spare time?In this way, you can find your interests, and only in these areas of interest can you realize your potential.

How big is human potential?This question is probably impossible for anyone to answer.Because according to scientists, people can only use 1% of their brainpower in their lifetime, that is to say, everyone has 99% of their potential to be tapped.Therefore, human potential is actually unlimited, as long as we are willing, we can maximize it.

The clean and jerk, one of the weightlifting events, has a saying of "500 pounds (about 227 kg) bottleneck", that is to say, in terms of the physical limit of the human body, 500 pounds is a bottleneck that is difficult to surpass. Barreri, the 499-pound record holder, actually used a barbell that exceeded 500 pounds due to a staff error.After the news was released, six weightlifters in the world lifted the 500-pound barbell that had never been broken through in an instant.

Jade cannot be cut into a tool, and so is human potential. If you don't dig it, it will be like a pool of stagnant water, which will stink after a long time.

We don't know our potential because people are lazy. If we can rely on and use our brains, then no one will deliberately develop their potential. This phenomenon is most obvious in women.Maybe it is because of the impetuousness of society, or maybe it is because of the aftermath of the "patriarchal" society, women always play a dependent role in society (of course it does not mean that all women are dependent on men).However, once they lose the support of men, women will often explode with amazing strength. For example, divorced women, because of failed marriages, their trust in men has also declined, so they need to create their own lives more on their own.In fact, many women have proved by their own actions that women's potential is unlimited. It turns out that they will live better without men!

This is the power of potential.But unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to unleash their potential.Therefore, we should learn to force ourselves when doing things in our daily life, and have higher demands on ourselves. To do things that you think you can’t do, maybe you will find that many abilities depend on yourself Only by digging deep can it be revealed.A good person is one who knows how to fully tap their potential.

In fact, most people in life underestimate their own abilities, limit their own development, and think that they have reached the peak state immediately after a small achievement, so they refuse to take any more risks and resolutely stop climbing, and the result is wasted They jeopardize their potential and miss countless opportunities to move forward.

In real life there are many people who do not fully understand their potential and thus limit themselves.If these people could fully understand and use their own potential, wouldn't they be able to create a richer and better life for themselves?Therefore, only by constantly exploring, understanding, and utilizing one's potential can one push one's achievements to peaks one after another.

The purpose of understanding and utilizing potential is to do those things that you really enjoy doing.

Interest in something generally manifests itself in three forms:

1. Preference.

Be interested in a certain kind of thing, have a special preference, and this preference is very prominent compared with other behaviors.

2. Sensitive.

They are particularly sensitive to certain things, such as listening intently as soon as they hear music. Compared with other behaviors, this sensitivity is very specific and has certain characteristics.

3. Explore.

Perseverance in exploring certain things, such as special interest in studying mathematics, etc. In addition, there is another manifestation of exploration, that is, asking tirelessly about the content of a certain subject, or always asking for clarification of everything that is unclear.

Everyone has potential, whether you are disabled or healthy, everyone can make a difference and be successful.

Robert Barany was born in Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1876 to Jewish parents.He suffered from bone tuberculosis when he was young. Due to the poor financial situation of his family, the disease could not be cured, which made his knee joint permanently stiff.The parents grieved for their son, and of course Barani was in extreme pain.However, the sensible Barani, even though he was only seven or eight years old, hid his pain and said to his parents: "Don't be sad for me, I can make the achievements of a healthy person."

When the parents heard their son's words, they were filled with grief and joy. They hugged him and didn't know what to say, but they just washed their faces with tears.

From then on, Barani made up his mind to study hard.His parents took turns to pick him up and pick him up at school every day, and they persisted for more than ten years, rain or shine.Barani did not fail his parents' hard work, nor did he forget his vows. When he was in elementary and middle school, his grades were always excellent, and he was among the top students in his class.

At the age of 18, he entered the Medical School of the University of Vienna to study, and in 1900, he received a doctorate.After graduating from university, Barani stayed on to work at the Ear Clinic of the University of Vienna as a trainee.Because Barani worked very hard, Adam Poliz, a famous doctor working in the University Hospital, appreciated him very much and gave him enthusiastic guidance in his work and research.Barani conducted in-depth research and exploration of the nystagmus phenomenon. After three years of hard work, he published a research paper entitled "Observation of Thermal Nystagmus" in May 3.The publication of this paper has attracted the attention of the medical community and marked the emergence of the "hot test" method in otology.Barani delved deeper and proved through experiments that the vestibular organ of the inner ear is related to the cerebellum, which has since laid the foundation of otology physiology.

In 1909, the famous otologist Adam Politz was seriously ill. The affairs of the Institute of Otology he presided over and the task of teaching otology at the University of Vienna were all handed over to Barani.The heavy work burden was on Barani's shoulders, and he was not afraid of hard work. In addition to completing these tasks well, he also continued to conduct in-depth research on his major. From 1910 to 1912, he made a lot of achievements in scientific research and published two books, "Physiology and Pathology of Semicircular Canal" and "Functional Test of Vestibular Organ".Due to his work and breakthrough contributions to scientific research, the Austrian royal family awarded him a knighthood. In 1914, he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

Barani published 184 scientific research papers in his lifetime, and cured many terminal diseases in otology.His achievements are so prominent that today's medical experiments to detect vestibular disorders and to examine the activity of the cerebellum and its relation to balance disorders are named after him.

Despite being disabled, Barani made a difference by realizing her full potential.

There is also a stupid boy, Bit, who is slower than other children in everything since he was a child. His classmates ridiculed him for being stupid, and the teacher said he didn’t work hard. No matter how he tried to do well and change himself, he never I can't do it right either.It wasn't until Bit was in the ninth grade that a doctor diagnosed him with dyskinesia.When graduating from high school, Beeter applied to the ten most average schools, thinking that no one would admit him.But until the end, he didn't even receive a notice.

Later, Bit saw an advertisement that said: "As long as you pay $250, you can be admitted to a university." As a result, he paid $250, and a university actually sent him an admission letter.Seeing the name of this university, Bit immediately remembered a newspaper article about this university a few years ago: "This is a school where no one fails, as long as the student's father is rich, he will not be admitted. Yes." At that time, Bit had only one belief: "I want to use the future to prove this wrong statement." After attending this university for a year, Bit transferred to another university, and after graduation, he entered the real estate industry. At the age of 22, he opened a real estate company of his own.Since then, he has built nearly 900 apartments in four states in the United States, owns [-] chain stores, and has assets of hundreds of millions of dollars.Later, Bit entered the banking industry and became the chief executive.

How did a "stupid" kid achieve success?The following two points are what Bit himself said:

1. Everyone has their own strongest item and their own potential. Some people can write, some can calculate, some are difficult, but others are easy.What I want to emphasize is: you must do what is most suitable for you, and don't cater to other people's tastes and do a "difficult thing" that doesn't belong to you, but you have to pay a lifetime price.Most importantly, realize your potential.

2. I am very lucky to have parents who are so understanding, tolerant and patient with me. If there is an exam question that others only spend 15 minutes on, but I have to spend 2 hours to complete it, my parents will never be hit by it I.For my parents, as long as their son does his best, that is their purpose.

It can be seen that a person with defects can fully tap his potential and embark on the road to success.Then those of us healthy teenagers, there is no reason not to become successful.

Most of us have a remarkable potential, but this potential spends most of the time in a dormant state, and when it is awakened, it can do many amazing things.

Potential is a thing that is sensitive to external stimuli; and once it is awakened, it still needs continuous education and encouragement, just as people with musical and artistic talents must pay attention to training and support, otherwise, potential will be destroyed. Like flowers, it is easy to wither or wither.

If we have potential and do not try to stimulate it, our ambition will not remain sharp and firm, and our gifts will become dull and incapacitated.

Emerson said: "What I need most is something that enables me to do my best." That is to say, "doing my best" is my own business.Not to the best of Napoleon or Lincoln, but to my best.I can contribute the best, or the worst, in my life, can use 10%, 15%, 25%, or 90% of my ability, and it will make a very different result for the world, for myself.

Psychology class:
1. When we try to walk into the team of losers and ask them about their gains and losses, you will find that the reason why most people fail is because they have never found something that can excite them and encourage them to move forward The environment, that is to say, their potential has never been awakened, so they have no strength to break free from the bad environment.

2. In any case, you should make every effort to put yourself in an environment that will awaken your potential and stimulate you on the road of self-development.Try to be close to people who understand you, trust you, help you discover yourself, and encourage you to do your best.Whether your life is to be glorified with great victories, or to be wasted in idling, depends entirely on the choice you make.
