From childhood to adulthood, parents and teachers have always instilled in us the concept that "you have to work hard, if you haven't achieved excellence, it means you haven't worked hard enough."
These words seem to inspire you, but in fact hide the desire for you. Parents and teachers don't make you work hard, they say you have to be the best.
The problem with this kind of education is that most of us fall into two extremes, one is inferior and the other is conceited. Andrew undoubtedly fell into conceit and looked down on others.
The result of this kind of education is that many people stop at some point in their lives, wondering whether their efforts have been useful so far.
Useless!
"If you fight, you will win~" The lyrics are familiar to everyone.
But what are the facts? In fact, you don't say "I'm going to work hard! I'm going to work hard!" You can really work hard. Not everyone has this drive, and laziness is our nature. This kind of effort against nature is actually a talent.
But this kind of talent is very tasteless. You don't have it. If you give full play to it, you can succeed. For hard work, you must have a series of bonuses such as luck, courage, etc. to succeed. Einstein also said, "The 1% of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat."
Working hard for this talent is like the "Bluebell Grass" in "Douluo Continent". The reason why Tang San can play such a big role is mainly due to the aura of the protagonist.
Fletcher had been looking for his Charlie Parker, but couldn't find it. In my opinion, the person he is looking for is someone who can maximize the talent of hard work, that is, "Bluebell Emperor", the awakened version of "Bluebell Grass". Unfortunately, in a real high-end game, even the "Blue Bell King" cannot be the main force.
Andrew, a person who can practice the drum kit to the point of blood dripping, can be said to have exerted his efforts to the extreme. But not nearly destroyed in the final performance?
The reality is like this, no matter how hard you try, you are likely to be ruined by someone else's setup.
Some people say that Andrew finally succeeded! He became the most explosive drummer! That's because he works hard enough!
Can you work as hard as he does? Can you be as lucky as he is to lose the sheet music? Can you get back on stage after being carefully set up and screwed up like him?
...
Too much to ask yourself.
He doesn't just rely on hard work, luck, courage, and solitude... I feel that even if he doesn't work so hard and is a little more cheerful, he will achieve something in the world no matter what he does in the future.
Well, just by worldly standards.
But there are always some people in the world who are not comfortable with the world.
Next, I want to talk about a different kind of effort than others see. Such efforts are mostly depraved and waste of life even in the eyes of others.
It is an effort to pursue the love of the heart.
Andrew was in love at first, until later he began to care about the teacher's thoughts. This love has deteriorated and turned into a competition, so he is sharp, selfish, and forgets his original intention.
If we love ourselves, we don't need to prove anything to the world, and we don't need to achieve anything for the expectations of others. As long as you decide that you love it, then you just have to follow your heart.
One of my favorite inspirational movies is Rocky. Rocky gets up at 4 o'clock every day to run around Philadelphia, trains every day with the devil, and in the end he can only avoid being beaten by the boxing champion. But he was satisfied, his goal was nothing more than that.
Effort may not be successful, but it can bring you satisfaction and even leave you with a talk to brag about later.
At the end of your life, you will say with relief, "I used to have such a life that others said I was in vain, but it was not in vain. It was the most meaningful and fulfilling life of my past."
The standard of the world is strict, and hard work is the only talent that an amateur can compete with.
Through hard work, you will find satisfaction in dark times, knowing that you are not in vain, which can already bring great comfort.
Effort is also the best card in the hands of amateurs in the face of social uncertainty.
I am an amateur with no possessions.
"Break through the blockade and keep exploring." is my signature.
Whether it is a closed life or a crazy life is my thinking, so I call myself "Feng Yi".
Now I'm trying to write, and I want to do the same spelling as Andrew for it. Well, I have no regrets in this life, because I will know that I worked hard. As Fletcher said, "But I worked hard, I really fucked hard, and that's more than a lot of people have gone. And I'll never apologize for how hard I tried."
It's never wrong to work hard for what you love, although in the end the reward will only be given to those who achieve, not those who work hard.
But, who cares?
