生命是一種過程，要循序漸進
生活中受傷之處，一定會變成最堅強的地方，這是失敗為成功之母。心向優秀是一種習慣，生命是一種過程，要循序漸進。偶爾，放棄是一種智慧抉擇，笑而不語是一種豁達，這是反方向操作，以柔克剛。遇事，痛而不言是一種修養，悟透人情世故，就是最幸福的人。2021.09.05

真正厲害的人，都做到了狠、準、穩
http://www.thevalue101.com/article.php?id=89341 人一到群體中，智商就嚴重降低，為了獲得認同感，個體願意拋棄是非，用智商去換取那份讓人倍感安全的歸屬感。 這是《烏合之眾》中講到的一個觀點，大意是很多人為了隨大流，而主動放棄了個人的觀點，這看起來是把自己融入了另一個環境中，貌似是合群的表現。 但實際上並非如此，或者說看起來的合群只是表面上的和諧，如果一個人為了能獲得群體的好感，而放棄了個人的堅守和態度，不僅不是優秀，反而是軟弱的表現。 無獨有偶，在哈叔的《認知進化》中也提到了思維認知對個體的影響力，他指出一個人不合群的人，才會更優秀，因為他沒有時間去融入無用的圈子，反而把時間都用在了狠、準、穩來成長和打磨自己身上，這樣這些不合群的人就會越來越優秀。
