Career Secrets: "Success And Hunger" Is Your Gold Mine.

Kenya people surpass physiology. Psychological limit The ability to inspire us is the key to many people or organizations who fail to succeed. They tell themselves "I can't". Psychological abandonment puts everyone in danger. Subconscious control and the bombardment of restrictive information often make people's imagination useless and lose their motivation. The result is that we can only achieve ourselves in others' boxes, and this box is actually very small. Therefore, no matter entrepreneurs, athletes or ordinary organizations and individuals, they can not believe in fatalism because "this is reality". What we need is the ability to believe in reality regardless of reality.

Kenya long distance runner is one of the biggest mysteries in the history of sports. Scientists, athletes and coaches from all over the world flocked to the city of Eden in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, the epicentre of the world's running, searching for secrets. Because the secret brought the East African country to the Olympic gold medal to be soft, the leading edge was shocking. In the marathon race, in 2011 alone, Kenya people took the top 20 in the best results.

Kenya's strong position in running events tells us that there must be something more than personal effort at work. If there is no inherent genetic advantage, Kenya people can not have such a super performance. But scientific research shows that the physical structure of East African people is basically the same as that of European athletes. Yannis Pecratis, a professor at University of Glasgow, is a well-known expert in the field of sports science. He has been working on the secrets behind East African long-distance runner and West African sprinters. He said bluntly: "the association between sports genes and races is just like that between intelligence quotient and race. That is to say, there is no correlation between them.

If we randomly pick 100 people on Kingston street in Jamaica, and pick 100 individuals in the streets of Bermingham, take them to the lab, measure their muscle fiber types and gene conditions, predict whether they have the potential to become the world's top sprinter, and the results of the two groups will not be significantly different. That is to say, inherent talent exists, but its existence is very common.

"In fact, it's all because of belief, which is what you think is possible." Kolm OConnell, one of Kenya's best running coaches, said, "if you believe you are limited by genes, you will never pay for your success." Because you have already ruled yourself out. At the same time, no one doubts himself, because in Kenya, if you don't believe in yourself, no one will believe you. Moreover, faith does not cost a penny, and everyone can afford it.

Let's go back to the streets of Brazil's slums. Those who seem to have made great achievements in the flash, tens of thousands of viewers and the world's biggest football players are based on 10000 hours' training. These children can basically reach 10000 hours by the age of 13. train 。 Let's take a look at the English boys who are in contrast with him. If we start training 3 times a week, starting at the age of 5, every 2 hours to maintain such a frequency, he will train for 2544 hours at the age of 13. If he continues to maintain such training intensity, he will be able to reach 10000 hours of training hours at the age of 32. If he is good enough, he entered the football school in England at the age of 15 and trained 4~5 times a week. He would reach 10000 hours in a few years. But at this stage, it is too late to catch up with the training hours of Brazil boys. That is to say, the decisive factor is not what you do and what you will do in the future, but what you did at the age of 6~12.

The importance of believing in unreal but highly effective things. Those who start early will benefit from all aspects, which is the key to distinguish the best from others. People went to Kenya to find special running genes, but eventually found only a group of people who had never thought of losing. Kenya people thought they were the unquestioned rulers in the middle distance race of the world. Their unshakable trust in their abilities was gradually established from one level to another, because they were in the last 20 years. He heard from time to time that one country after another could win gold medals. Many Kenya people have never seen a white man run past them. They can not tolerate losing themselves to a wooden msungu (Kenya translator).

Can achieve anything High-level An element of performance is the conviction of one's ability. Whether it's business, politics, sports or music, believing in yourself is crucial to success. On the contrary, doubt is the poison of achievement. Doubt can bring tension and fear, and the possibility of failure will increase exponentially. The trust of Kenya people to their abilities is not based on logical and rational reasoning, but entirely irrational. Those who know the most are not necessarily the ones who win the game. In western society, what people have in large quantities is just a reserve of scientific knowledge. In Kenya, they have only the result. Is knowledge and information not helping us to develop our potential, but limiting it? Kolm OConnell, the godfather of Kenya athletics circles, said, "don't start with knowledge! Start with desire and imagination, and then come to knowledge." Einstein's other famous saying goes the same way in another way: "imagination is more important than knowledge." This shows that before you turn something into reality, you must first be able to imagine its existence. Sometimes, it is precisely because beliefs are built on something that is not necessarily right that we have the confidence and courage to do the impossible.
