In real life, many people are more content to live in a "wall" that feels just right: have the ability to solve problems just right, have the experience of just right, and have the advantage of just right.
Only when the buds break through the comfortable soil can they grow greener and vigorously; only when the eagle leaves the warm nest, they can spread their wings and fly into the wider sky.
Only by recognizing the hidden "cage" and staying away from the comfortable "wall" can we meet a better self.
01
Get out of the comfort zone of ability
Huawei company Director and senior vice president Chen Lifang When having a discussion with new employees, he said: "The safest boat stops in the harbor, but that is not the purpose of shipbuilding; people live in the present, but that is not the meaning of life."
Everyone will have the "comfort zone" of their own ability, which is a place that is most familiar and relaxing.
Staying in it for a long time will make people feel lazy to satisfy the status quo, build a high wall that is unwilling to change, and gradually stop yourself.
The famous "Frog Law" warns us: people who are addicted in their comfort zone will eventually be cut off from their own way. Only by jumping out will there be another world.
Recently, in the variety show "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles 2", the 49-year-old "Love" by Su Youpeng became popular again, igniting "Su Youpeng Girl".
Open Su Youpeng's resume and you will find that from singers to actors to directors, he has been "bounced out of his comfort zone".
He paid for his own pocket to learn Kunqu for four months, just to play Bai Xiaonian in "The Sound of the Wind" well, and successfully advanced from "Idol" to "Strong faction"; then, " Left Ear ", made himself a new director who could memorize all the lines of the actors.
When everyone cheered for his progress, he returned to campus, settled himself, and went to New York University in the United States to study for directorship.
He was once a "good tiger", but he never stayed in a comfortable position and kept "fighting" with his own abilities and constantly expanded his new skills.
I thought of a sentence that suits Su Youpeng: "I can always rely on my face, but I have to do my best all the way."
I saw someone on Zhihu saying, "I am used to being comfortable. Now I want to struggle and work hard. It is very difficult to get out of my comfort zone, and I feel like I can't move."
Indeed, when we want to grow and become better, we will find that the goal is always outside of "comfort".
Only by overcoming difficulties and constantly expanding one's circle of capabilities can one see one's infinite possibilities.

Breaking the habits of thinking
People will be accustomed to looking at things and solving problems with their inherent experience. This is the mindset.
is like snow melting. What adults see is water, and what children think of is spring.
Experience is not wrong, but if the way of thinking is framed by the inherent cognition, it will make us firm and stand firm.
Thinking should be infinitely broad. If you blindly repeat your previous cognition when encountering things, those seemingly impossible things will always stay in "impossible" .
In the book "The Power of Supernormal Thinking", there is an example:
Until 1954, no one dared to imagine that he could run a mile in 4 minutes, and no one had ever achieved such a result. Everyone habitually believes that this is absolutely impossible because it exceeds the limit of human physical strength.
11954, British long-distance runner Roger Bennister broke through this limit with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds and created a miracle.
2 months later in Finland , Australian player John Randy once again broke the record and achieved a time of 3 minutes and 58 seconds. In the next three years, 16 other players also broke this record. What is
that makes everyone create miracles? Because someone pushed down the invisible wall in his mind that "humans cannot run a mile in 4 minutes".
Some psychologists have analyzed that people often choose the right way of coping according to their needs, but are more accustomed to using familiar ways of coping to construct a life.
As the saying goes, "There is only what you can't imagine, nothing can't be done." The familiar " straw boat borrowing arrows " tells us that it is the importance of breaking the limitations of thinking.
Only by removing the wall in your mind can you open the window of infinite possibilities.
Overcome thinking inertia, do not use experience as an excuse, dare to think and fight, and will be unique and shine unique.
03
Leave the unchanging security zone
Ancient famous historian Zuo Qiuming said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared when thinking, and be prepared when you are prepared, you will have no trouble."
No one can build an ever-indestructible security fortress with its unchanging competitive advantage.
The world is changing too fast. If you cannot be prepared for danger in times of peace and keep pace with the times, when the times decide to abandon you, you will not even say goodbye. The decline of Kodak company still brings endless regrets to people when talking about it, which is worth pondering.
Fujifilm CEO Gu Sen Chonglong once said in an interview: "No one wants to be a gravedigger in their own business. Investing in digital technology is equivalent to shortening the life of the film industry by himself."
Kodak once rose because of its trend of change, but because of this long-term competitive advantage, they are unwilling to face up to the development and changes in the new era.
As the Ming Dynasty writer Feng Menglong said: "There will always be a day and think about the day without time, and don't wait for the time without time." The safe area built with the advantages of
cannot guarantee safety all the time, and the moat built successfully cannot protect the whole life.
Only by always being alert, constantly innovating, and taking out the courage of a hero to cut off his arm at critical moments can you make yourself one step ahead, walk before changes, and be able to deal with various crises and challenges.

Life will not be smooth forever, and the years will not be peaceful all the time.
Relaxed and comfortable life is sometimes beautiful like bubbles, easily blown by unpredictable changes and risks.
breaks the circle and grows, and does not become lazy because of temporary comfort;
breaks through inertia, and does not be bound by inherent experience;
is prepared for danger in times of peace and does not relax because of current advantages.
"People's Daily " once commented:
"No matter whether you can achieve ideal results or not, those who are brave enough to change are already spiritual winners. In the journey of constantly surpassing yourself, every heart that dares to change deserves respect."
May you and I muster up the courage to broaden your horizons, open up the pattern, and strive forward to welcome a better life.
