Does having cognitive errors necessarily lead to failure in action?

Let me first share a view from Luo Pang: 1. When it comes to teaching in rural areas, I recall an incident from the past. Many years ago, I was a teacher in the film and television arts program at a university. There was a first-year student, a girl who seemed to come from a remote rural area; she also had a rather ordinary appearance. 2. Back then, the film and television arts major was very trendy; her classmates were generally kids from the city. I asked her, why do you want to apply for this major? She said that in our mountainous area, she thinks the coolest job is being someone who shows movies in the village. She wanted to do that herself in the future, so she took the exam to become one. 3. At that moment I thought, Oh no, it’s a tragedy. With her average qualifications and such mistaken perceptions, how can she have a promising future in this field? Later, it turned out I was wrong. This girl is still in the film and television industry today, and she is doing quite well. 4. This incident made me reflect that cognitive errors are not necessarily the cause of failed actions. If a mistaken belief can ignite a person’s hope and motivate them to take action, it is, in the long run, a great fortune. Worse than cognitive errors is the lack of goals and hope.
There is not necessarily just one possibility between cognition and outcome; rather, there are multiple possibilities. As the saying goes, \"When you try to force flowers to bloom, they won’t; but when you plant willows carelessly, they will provide shade.\"
Strategic mistakes cannot be made up for by tactical successes
This example does not support the title; first, cognition is constantly changing. II. The results are also not those previously perceived.
Worse than cognitive errors is the lack of goals and hope.
There are too many uncertainties in the entertainment industry. It may not be the case in other aspects.
Depending on the perspective and depth from which one looks at things, you might think that their understanding is incorrect; but from another perspective and depth, their understanding is actually correct. Learning knowledge and skills in order to watch movies in the future is merely a temporary goal; adjustments will be made along this direction. The ultimate goal is, in fact, to acquire knowledge and skills from the outside world and use what has been learned to create value in the future. This remains unchanged and is indeed correct
I like the last sentence: «What’s worse than cognitive errors is the lack of goals and hope.» 】
You can’t judge a person by their appearance, nor can you measure the depth of the sea.
