There are no shortcuts to success

There are no shortcuts to success

Ten years later, one of my friends who used to dislike Li Yuchun the most -- "What ah, neither male nor female" -- also began to identify with her existence and praised her for having "the weather of a big star".

Li Yuchun became the first Chinese star to walk in Givenchy's autumn/winter campaign, wearing a fur coat with a velvet skirt and a butterfly knot at the neck. This is a valuable resource that many A-listers are vying for, but Li Yuchun has a forewarning.

In September 2014, Li Yuchun was invited to attend Paris Fashion Week for the first time, which was an official invitation from Givenchy. Before that, in 2013, Givenchy made Li's black suit with a side waist cutout, which was the only one in the world.

She has moved beyond the confines of an elected icon and is on her way to the international fashion stage. A lot of people didn't think it would happen. They thought her career would be a flash in the pan. After all, this kind of fanatical national popularity was unprecedented, and people thought that it would fade, and with it, strip her of the aura that was attached to her.

A reader asked me the other day what I thought of Li Yuchun. I said she was a very special cultural phenomenon. She has been a star since her debut. She doesn't appear frequently in the public eye, but she still retains her A-list appeal when she does. Do you know how difficult it is in the cut-throat world of show business? Look at the stars to maintain exposure to do all the efforts to know, even Xu Qing this kind of high and semi-retired state to participate in the reality show, but also by the audience's question made a nose and a nose, like Li Yuchun this weightless player is how not easy ah.

The paradox of life can be seen best in Li Yuchun. Ten years ago, she was a teenager with yellow hair on her hair. Now, looking at the photos of her participating in the Super Girl competition, she looks so green and childish. If anyone insists that you can see the international style in such a girl, it is nonsense without conscience.

She is just an ordinary Sichuan girl, her father is railway police, her mother is a full-time wife, and her only special point is music, won the first "campus singing competition" in middle school, held her first personal concert at the age of 18, with the second professional score was admitted to Sichuan Conservatory of Music. There are many young people with such talent, but the only one who can stand out is Li Yuchun, which naturally should be thanks to the training of Super Girl, and she is such opportunities along the way, continue to challenge herself, and become the unique Li Yuchun in China and even the world. Over the years, she is changing, in the flow of time, until she can no longer return to the original trajectory of life.

What would she have been like if she hadn't competed? Probably not in any case.

That's how important opportunities and experiences are to a person. Each person's environment, and the different choices made, will determine the fate of the future.

Look at the photos of celebrities and their family members, and see how much they look like their siblings. The difference is that the former looks more like the hardcover version, while the latter is a bit cruder. The difference between them is not entirely natural appearance, and acquired experience. Become a star, full teeth, do beauty, diet, fitness, practice standing posture and sitting, live in the flash every day, constantly self-quenching, walking to see more possibilities of life, like a gem, is polished over and over again, gradually issued out of the dust, from the world.

Li Bingbing and her sister Li Xue are the most typical example.

Li Bingbing is our Heilongjiang people, and Wuchang County is the best rice known in the small county. When I was young, my younger sister Li Xue was believed to be the one who could achieve great things in my family. Because of her good study, Li Xue always ranked first in the whole grade. She was the team leader in primary school, the party branch secretary in middle school, and the minister of literature and art at university. Li, on the other hand, takes on most of the housework to make sure her sister has enough time to study.

Because of her poor math, Li Bingbing did not go to high school and went straight to a technical secondary school. After graduating from Jixi Normal School, she became a primary school teacher in her hometown, while her sister Li Xue was preparing for college. At that time, their lives seemed to have been so doomed that Li Bingbing would complete an ordinary life in her hometown, while the younger daughter, who was considered more promising by her parents, would have a more successful and prouder life.

Having lived in the shadow of her younger sister all year round, Li Bingbing, who had been lacking confidence since childhood, enjoyed her career. "My advantages in literature and art suddenly came out during that period, and I felt that I found my value at once." Later, she met a certain Northeastern actor at a party, who helped her open a window to the outside world and rekindled her desire to go to college. In this way, she relied on indomitable perseverance, all the textbooks will be memorized down, and finally admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. And after the younger sister Li Xue university graduates work period, the choice goes to Beijing to help the elder sister, this family entrusts new hope in Li Bingbing's body finally again.

What is fate, at the beginning of the kind of arrangement you do not know how it will develop? Li Bingbing never felt that it was a kind of ideal and design to get to where she is today. She said, "How can a person who was not so confident when she was a child has so much outlook on the future?" I just wanted to go to college, "everyone thinks that if you get into college, you've won," but it was just to fight for breath and prove that I didn't fail. Later learned acting, when the actress, she desperately general acting, is also because of the psychological shadow since childhood, "there is an old sense of insecurity, there is a sense of worry, forcing themselves in the ability to do more when they must do as much as possible.

Feng Tang, a writer, said that success studies can be deceptive. "The biggest deception is that they don't make the most of luck. I understand that individual success is largely luck. I'm not saying that such successful people can't do it. It's entirely possible that such people would not have done it to the extent that they have done it under different circumstances and different circumstances. Examples abound."

In the experience of many stars entering the industry, there is a common story, they enter this industry, which is a strange combination of circumstances, accompany people to take the exam, want to go up did not go up, do not want to go up but went up. When Lin Qingxia shopping was found by the director, Gao Yuanyuan in KFC eating chicken legs was aimed by the star scout...... They are beautiful girls, but as numerous beautiful girls, god is with a finger, put some people pick out from the crowd "single practice", xu privileges and glory at the same time they may give their loneliness and pressure, will they become more perfect, shiny, from then on, like the stars of heaven were separated from ordinary people.

Life isn't designed. Everyone has the kind of friends who were regarded as the material of Tsinghua University and Peking University when they were young, but later they were all lost. I have one at home, my extremely clever cousin. When he was in primary school, he could beat all the adults around him in chess and had a bright future. Everyone believed that he would be a great success. Later, he stopped studying and slept in class just because he had problems with his teachers. Later, he simply transferred from a key high school to a regular high school, which caused a sensation because no one had ever done this before. Now, he has become vicissitudes of life to make a living, the glory of his early years no longer exists.

Feng believes that there is no shortcut to success, but it takes some good habits. Yes, if the various fates of man are broken up and crushed, and try to find some rules in them, then good habits and the courage to seize the chance are more important than natural talent. Life does not need to be too ambitious, the future is twists and turns, as long as the reserve diligence, dedication, seriousness, punctuality, and other good habits are needed for success, and then to wait for God's finger.
