I remember reading a cartoon, which showed a climber leaning crookedly on a pine tree on the edge of a cliff, pouring out his shoes with force The gravel in the comic is accompanied by the following line: "What makes you tired is often not the mountains in the distance, but the gravel in your shoes."
The logic of this comic is very interesting. It actually reveals a certain truth in life: putting people What defeats us is mostly not huge difficulties, but the fatigue caused by trivial events.
It is not difficult to imagine that when a person faces a huge disaster challenge, he will first be at a loss or extremely afraid, and then someone will have the urge to fight or the strength to break free; at least, this is a kind of passion for life, even if he If you fail because of this, this kind of failure will still have a kind of power.
However, if what bothers people is only some very trivial events, such as toothache , noise, quarrels between husband and wife, conflicts between colleagues, etc., you seem to be unable to treat them as opponents because they are too insignificant; but there seems to be nothing you can do Get rid of it completely, it's always buzzing around you. So you are endlessly consumed and become tired and lazy.
Therefore, compared with this process of burnout, finding goals and passion in daily life has become an important way of self-rescue. The Japanese, known as workaholics, have a pretty good way to deal with the problem of how to devote themselves enthusiastically to ordinary work day after day: before going to work every day, look in the mirror and smile to yourself confidently, Then shout out five times: "I'm the best!" and get all excited before heading out to work. It is said that if you cheer up like this, the feeling of working every day will indeed be very different.
People often give up not because of failure, but because of fatigue. The worst situation is not poverty or misfortune, but a state of unconscious mental exhaustion; the best way to deal with is optimism and persistence, which not only requires the courage to face huge difficulties and the spirit of not admitting defeat , and you must also have the wisdom to face the "wear and tear of life" of daily fatigue and constantly replenish the "lubricant" that maintains your condition.
