What is always striving for the first place?

When I was in college, Professor Wan, who taught us, often had some seemingly casual questions.

On one occasion, Professor Wan asked, "Which is the highest mountain in the world?" Such pediatric problems have also moved to university classrooms? Of course, everyone disdained to answer, and only echoed with the lowest decibel: "Mount Everest." Who knows, the professor keeps asking, "What is the second highest mountain in the world?" Well, everyone can be stupid. Someone argued: "I don't think I have seen it in books!" " Without saying a word, the professor then asked, "So, who was the first person to go into space?" "Unexpectedly, no one dared to answer this time. Then, the professor smugly asked several groups of similar questions. Strangely, the answer to the first question is almost unknown, while the answer to the second question is almost unknown.

Professor Wan is very happy and seems to have successfully completed an arduous task. We have no idea what the professor is playing. Fortunately, the professor turned around and soon a line appeared on the blackboard: second is no different from obscurity! It turns out that the professor is encouraging us to always be the first. The professor went on to state one of his experimental conclusions. 12 years ago, the professor asked his students to enter a spacious auditorium in disorder and find their own seats. After repeated several times, the professor found that some students always like to sit in the front row, some students sit around blindly and casually, and some students seem to particularly like the back seat. The professor took down their names separately. 10 years later, the professor's survey results show that among the students who like to sit in the front row, the proportion of success is much higher than that of the other two types of students. The professor also said that because of the application of this conclusion, he was regarded as a "talent bole" by many large companies. When a professor is entrusted to recruit talents for a company, he always lets those candidates choose seats inexplicably. The professor smiled indifferently: "In fact, the knowledge and strength of those candidates are similar. I don't know who is a swift horse, but I only know who likes to sit in the front row. " "Finally, the professor said earnestly," I'm not saying that you must grab the front row, but that this positive attitude is very important. In the long life, we must have the spirit of always striving for the first place, so as to make continuous progress and reach the peak of our career! "
