Humility and Continuous Learning, Never be the “smartest person” in the room

the sooner you learn, the sooner you’ll benefit

Some time ago, actress Emma Stone’s performance in “Infinity Class” was a hot topic. She can quickly memorize lines, perform accurately, and can quickly get into comedy that she has never been exposed to before. When the instructors spoke, she always listened with an open mind and quickly internalized; when her companions were out of shape and laughing and joking, she was not like other captains who only lost their temper. Instead, she patiently helped the actors in the same group to order the words and gave her suggestions. Not only did the instructors keep praising her, but the crew also praised her because she would help clean up after the filming and was very polite to every staff member.

Many people say that she is not a first-line actress in Hollywood, but in this show, she has a dimensionality reduction in terms of professional ability and character quality. In the popular film“La La Land,” Mia Dolan, played by Emma Stone, is a girl who has means and wants to get ahead. But in life, Emma Stone said: “I have no means, only hard work.” She is always learning from better people and never wants to be number one. It is exactly in response to this sentence: “The most clumsy in the world can beat the most skillful in the world.”

I deeply believe that true wisdom is never a little cleverness, but a great wisdom.
