Just a few days after working in my current department, I suddenly received the task of organizing a research team to do a special research in the field. Because I am not familiar with the work of the new unit, and there are respected doctoral tutors, leaders with higher positions than me, and colleagues who have worked in the current unit for longer than me, I ask myself to be fully prepared to ensure that the whole research activity is foolproof. In those days, I made plans, contacted relevant departments, contacted the accompanying personnel and booked hotels... No matter what kind of work, I tried to do everything in detail. After intense preparation, on the day of departure, I think the whole thing should have been prepared. However, as soon as I got on the bus and heard the first sentence said by the doctoral supervisor, I was stunned. My so-called full preparation is completely vulnerable in front of him. Our research trip is only a short three-day time. According to the experience I have accumulated as usual, except for the comrades who came back with reporting tasks, others basically go to battle with light clothes. Most of them are hanging high when passing by. The doctoral tutor's entourage this time, according to the Convention, is just to let him guide us in our work without too much preparation or follow-up help. However, the accompanying tutor had not only a laptop, a recording pen and a notebook in his suitcase, but also various related items that might delay the investigation. On the one hand, there are doctoral tutors who hold several positions and are still so rigorous and serious in the high position, and on the other hand, we are still quite loose and slack in the low position. In contrast, I suddenly feel that what I have done is actually very little and I can't talk about efforts at all. If this is the beginning of the touch, then, with the advancement and deepening of the research activities, the every move of the doctoral supervisor has made me deeply understand what is self shame. During the research period, most of us just listen and remember. When we return to the hotel every day, everything will be fine. However, the tutor is not like this. Not only did he conduct research everywhere, but he had to ask questions, dig, take research notes, and even take photos and record them. More importantly, the first thing he does when he comes back to the hotel every night is not to wash and sleep like others, but to turn on the computer and record and sort out all the data obtained from the research on that day in detail. The next day, when he drove with us to the next stop, he had clearly put forward the harvest of the survey and the idea and framework of writing the survey report after returning to the unit. If he just does this, I think he is just more professional and dedicated than us. However, he told us that while sorting out the research materials of the day, he takes time to read the graduation theses of several graduate students every night, and tries to provide each student with written modification opinions and suggestions. After listening to the tutor's words, my heart was deeply touched. I can't believe that a doctoral tutor with such extraordinary achievements still works so hard and hard all the time. Compared with him, how can we talk about the efforts of ordinary people. Mediocre people are mediocre, probably because we don't work hard enough. Sometimes, we think we work hard, but there is no comparison. In the 80% mediocre personnel team, maybe we really seem to work hard, but if we compare ourselves with the 20% excellent people at the top of the pyramid, we will find that we can't work hard at all. Therefore, we can only stay at the bottom of the pyramid and never get to the top. This is why mediocre people are becoming more and more mediocre, while excellent people are becoming more and more excellent. Mediocre people are content with the status quo, don't want to make progress, and just want to get through everything; Excellent people are diligent and strive for perfection. In their world, there is no best, only better. For them, hard work is a normal life, so excellence is just a matter of course for them. Bid farewell to mediocrity. What we have to do is not only work hard, but always work hard.
