1. What is the mentality of an ostrich:
An ostrich is a giant dangerous bird that can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for 3 hours without fatigue, and ordinary beasts can't run it. And its claws are very powerful and can kill the lion if necessary
But the "ostrich mentality" is an incredible natural phenomenon: When an ostrich encounters danger, it will bury its head in the sandpit, blinding its sight. , And thought he was safe, so that he was finally arrested and killed.
Extended to life, the ostrich mentality is a cowardly mentality that avoids reality, ignores it, shirks responsibility, and deceives oneself.
2. Psychological analysis
The cowardly act of daring to face problems. Psychology has found through research that most modern people adopt an evasive attitude in the face of pressure, knowing that the problem is about to happen, and do not think about countermeasures. As a result, the problem will only become more complicated and more difficult to deal with. Just like when an ostrich is forced to desperate, he buries his head into the sand and thinks he is safe, but it is not. As everyone knows, the existence of risk is not transferred by human will, and it cannot be completely avoided. You must face it bravely and bear it bravely, because avoiding is not the way to avoid responsibility, and you may lose your rights and responsibilities at the same time. Opportunity for success.
We often encounter obstacles and heavy burdens. If we choose to bypass, we may lose the chance of success because of this. The cost of avoiding is bound to be disappointment. In the face of crisis, proactive attack is the best defense. Only by acting quickly and taking responsibility decisively will the loss be minimized. On the contrary, if a crisis is encountered, the general justification says "This is not my responsibility" and attempts to be an "ostrich" will result in disastrous consequences.
In the eyes of many people, the behavior of ostriches seems ridiculous, but in fact, in life, there are most people who escape reality and dare not face the ostrich mentality.
Many people tend to choose to escape when they encounter problems that they are unwilling to face or cannot solve:
For example: when I was young, I was afraid of hardship, so I avoided hard work and missed the opportunity of a good university;
work Later, I was afraid of fatigue, so I avoided the struggle, so I missed the rising period of my career;
In middle age, I was afraid of failure, so I avoided trying, so I missed the good opportunity of success;
is like an ostrich, encountered When it is difficult to predict the consequences, it is not to actively find a way to solve the problem, but to avoid the immediate problem by delaying and staying away.
always thinks that evasion can solve the problem. As everyone knows, the problems that you have left and have not solved will still come to you in the future.
3. The enlightenment to us:
_strong5 Kind of problem. If you keep avoiding problems and only do what you can, then you will never make progress. When encountering bigger problems, it will be difficult for you to get through, so don't avoid it.
Revelation 2: Take a positive attitude to face the problem Treat with mentality, when you have a good mentality, no matter how big the problem is, it will become easier.
Revelation 3: Don’t cover your ears and deceive your ears
The ostrich lowers its head and thinks that the danger is invisible, and the danger is gone. Just like covering the ears and stealing the bell, it forms a psychological defense mechanism, and it is just a self-deception psychology. It's just a confinement to the self and soul, not the right way to solve things. We can't know and introspect in the process of deceiving ourselves. We should not deceive ourselves and others. We should jump out of our lies, jump out and look at things and solve things.
Revelation 4: Don’t sit still
You can find another way. Don’t just sit passively and wait for death, and don’t “cuff eating because of choking.” Instead, you should use your initiative and intelligence to move forward courageously. Life is like a battlefield. Don't worry about the success or failure of the moment. The soldiers in the front can achieve success in victory, and it is not easy to be able to retreat after defeat. The so-called "victory or defeat is commonplace in the military", it is not a good idea to avoid one thing that is not sure. The so-called hero does not suffer from the immediate loss, and the man can bend and stretch.
Revelation 5: Set a short avoidance time for yourself when you encounter problems.
When encountering problems, we will panic and be afraid. This is a normal human response. Although we intellectually know that we should take action, emotionally we cannot control it and want to escape.
Revelation 6: Face the problem bravely when you encounter a problem, and refine the problem.
When we are in a panic, it is easy to enlarge the problem, that is, we ourselves will be frightened by our own imagination.
We will refine our tasks step by step, clarify what we should do next, and implement them step by step, we will find that things are not as difficult as she thought.
There is a saying "Everything is difficult at the beginning", but once you dare to start, then your actions will be like rolling a wheel, faster and smoother.
Revelation 7: Rebuilding self-confidence
Why do you avoid problems in the face? It is nothing more than not self-confident enough. Because I'm not confident enough, I doubt myself and suggest myself that I can't do it. Studies have shown that a confident mentality accounts for more than 50% of a person to succeed in something. From this we can see the importance of self-confidence.
Napoleon Hill once said: "In your life, you have always developed a habit: avoiding responsibilities and being unable to make decisions.As a result, as of today, even if you want to do something, you can't do it.
I hope you can understand this truth and have the courage to face difficulties.
As the old saying goes: "Everything will stand in advance, and nothing will be done beforehand." It is about the importance of the plan. However, no matter how perfect the plan is, if it does not rely on the needs of actual work And the establishment cannot serve the actual work, so it has no value.
As long as we can overcome our own psychological barriers, then each of us can fully control our own destiny.
