One day, I came across an article "Master Cai Zhizhong: Everyone can be a hundred times better: You just don't believe it" in a WeChat group. I was curious, so I clicked on it and found it was about Cai Zhizhong. Before, all I knew about Cai Zhizhong was that he was a cartoonist in Taiwan Province. Now I know that he has so many identities: the Asian Cup Bridge Champion in the World Cup, proficient in mathematics, and challenging Einstein's theory of special relativity time, and claiming that this theory can be proved wrong in 10 1 ways. He is really an unimaginable existence.
Then I started searching some information about him on the Internet and found a video program of Liang Dong interviewing Cai Zhizhong. I watched the first four issues. I don't think it's enough, and I found the recorded manuscript of his communication with Tai 'an elite young private school students in Jingshan Temple in Hangzhou.
From his information, I gained a lot and made the following records:
From these records, I seriously thought about his words.
The great man is great because he set a goal long ago and then kept moving in this direction, so there is the so-called 10 thousand-hour genius theory. Even if you discover your interest only later, you can achieve something if you are professional and deep enough to study physics and mathematics in Cai Zhizhong for 10 years.
But what I am most afraid of is that I haven't found my goal yet, and I don't know what to do all day, wasting my time. For those who have not found a goal in this life, they should continue to work hard to determine their true love.
After listening to his speech, I was deeply impressed. You can actually be your own teacher. If you read more books than the teacher, you may know more things than TA. In this way, you can become your own teacher through your own efforts.
Therefore, on the goal you set, in-depth research+independent thinking, be your own teacher, which may be the success of Cai Zhizhong.
So, my current benchmark has become him.
I don't know, do you have your benchmark?
