There is no fast success

One late night, my friend, Lee, woke me up with his phone call, and he almost shouted at me, "I made a great decision and I'm going to start to learn coding."

I woke up in his announcement. A youth who are dedicated to accounting, unexpectedly job-hop last month.

He explained to me that he had this idea for a long time. The current accounting industry is too saturated, it is hard to get a higher salary if he wants to rely on this field for a few years, and programming is not the same, said Lee, excited to cite an example: You know, that xxx did not graduate from university, studied in a technical school for six months, now his monthly salary has passed by million.

I listened patiently, honestly, I understand his career anxiety, a young man who trying to learn new things, of course, this is a good thought, but programming is also a type of technical skill to survive. If want to learn and live by this, it is not a simple task.

Lee smiled and said I worry too much: "How hard can it be? I have found online courses, that said, Become an expert programmer in 30 days."

30 days of rapid success, he had hung up the phone before I could comment.

Now a variety of "express", "Master everything in 7 Days", "30 days effective" such ads are common, a glaring number as if reminding us, the pace of the world is very fast, you have been behind, but it doesn’t matter, we will help you quickly keep up with their footsteps.

Indeed, in this rapid development of the Internet today, information can be easily obtained, now as if we are at hand, as long as we are willing to open the phone at any time, harvest the information just like harvesting the wheat.

The convenience of information harvesting seems to create an illusion that success has become so convenient.

But is it really so?

If success is like opening a web page to browse information, or after 30 days of online learning can be successful, then why many people are struggling to find success.

After half a month of Lee's late-night call, I talked to him about his becoming an expert programmer in 30-days.

His words flashed, saying that he was having a good time in learning and that the course is finishing soon.

I smiled and asked him if he was going to quit his job as an accountant after learning this, but he didn't answer me.

In the end, I did not hear from Lee for six months. I happened to remember of this stubble again and asked him, then I found out that he didn’t quit his job to become a programmer, even the 30-day crash course he failed to complete.

But he still had a confident look at me and said: If I could be a programmer, my salary would be doubled.

In fact, I don't doubt this matter, if he can become a programmer, his salary sure will be doubled, I don't even doubt that a person who has worked for years of accounting suddenly can master coding, throughout I only suspected whether someone could master something with only 30 days.

Nowadays, these quick successes and fast learning advertising stunt have been quietly imperceptibly to us, their propaganda let us believe that success and knowledge can be quickly obtained, which is tantamount to us that wealth can be quickly obtained.

But the fact is the other way, the one that claims to be able to help you learn a certain skill in 30 days, in fact, only the compressed version, they like compress everything to you, in the end, you get only a few empty concepts and a blank brain, the same as those who claim to get rich quickly, if it is not fraud, it is empty talk.

We are all aware of these statements, but why is this "quick to get rich," such as the attraction of advertising, even moved us?

There is only two reason, the first is our lack of patience. In everything is moving so fast today, we also take it for granted that success should be obtained quickly.

Second, the rapid development of social footsteps also makes us confused, as if only a quick run allow us to have a kind of “ we are doing something” feeling.

The sense of "quick learning" gives us a sense of virtual fullness as if a better future is really as close as the ad says it can get in 30 days, but it's just a virtual gratification, and we know in our hearts that they don't really bring anything.

The desire for success, the desire for a better cause is understandable. But we can not because we want to escape the feeling of confusion and emptiness and give ourselves to some irresponsible simple ideas. Those rapid successes idea is only a few good bubbles, indulge in which can only harvest some temporary pleasure, move us away from the success.

MJ DeMarco, the author of The Millionaire Fastlane, is an out-and-out advocate of getting rich quickly, and he himself is a perfect example of getting rich quickly.

DeMarco himself hated the idea of getting rich slowly, arguing that one should be able to have wealth and enjoy it when he was young.

In the early days of DeMarco, he was impoverished and had to work part-time as a taxi driver for a living, but even so, he never put himself in a fast-growing scam, and in his schedule, the so-called fast is 5-10 years, not 30 days of such a tempting scam.

He has also summed up a roadmap for getting rich quickly throughout his entrepreneurial career, and not falling into the trap of fast success is an important part of the road map.

The wide variety of fast success advertisement is a trap, touch our restless emotions, lead us constantly into anxiety, but at the same time they should be a wake-up, always remind ourselves, never let ourselves fall into the trap of rapid success.
