Recently, I read a group of comics online, with a group of people, each carrying a heavy cross and moving forward with difficulty. One of them was really overwhelmed and was slowly left behind.

So he was smart and sawed off a piece of the cross. Now he was much more relaxed and he quickly caught up with the team. But not long after, he was so tired that he sawed off the cross again.

Soon, he overcame everyone and walked in the front of the team. At this moment, a chasm suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

He couldn't cross it, and he watched others use their crosses as pedals to easily cross the gap. Since my cross was cut short before, it could no longer be placed on both ends of the gap.

In the end, he could only look at the back of others leaving, regretting that he did not persist.

What do you think after reading this set of comics?

My opinion is that if he can predict the existence of the gap ahead in advance, he will definitely not saw off his cross. Just imagine, who would ruin your future for no reason?

Why do we insist on it? Is persisting really useful? Can’t you keep doing things well without persisting?

1 Adhere to psychological cognition

In the psychology of success, people call the phenomenon of essential changes in key factors called the "boiling effect". For example, water is heated to 99 degrees, but it cannot be considered boiling water, and its useful value is limited.

If you continue to heat for a while and increase it by 1 degree on the basis of 99 degrees, the water will boil and turn into water vapor. A large amount of water vapor can start the machine, play a greater role than water, and can create higher economic value, which is the boiling effect.

The key factor causing essential changes is that 1 degree, just burn it for a while. Just that little bit is the key to the huge difference.

00 degrees is a critical point. Once this critical point is reached, the essence of things will undergo huge changes. This is the reason why quantitative change causes qualitative change. One step difference is a world of difference.

Those who travel a hundred miles a day are half ninety, and the road to success is never crowded. As long as you work harder, you can reach that critical point. The ugly duckling will turn into a white swan, and black chicken and can turn into a golden phoenix. Don't give up easily!

Back to the previous group of comics, the person who sawed the cross actually did not want to persist, nor did he not be able to persist, but he did not predict the goals ahead, and did not know what prerequisites needed to achieve the goals, and he was not sure what he was working hard to carry the burden forward.

In fact, when a person does not know why he wants to do something, or is not interested or reluctant to do something, it is difficult for him to persist, and it is almost impossible for him to do it well. So, you don't need to stick to it at all.

If you are willing to do one thing well, you don’t need to persist. But you must master the method of continuing to do it, otherwise you will only give up halfway.

2 Why do you always give up halfway?

Some people say that persists because victory is near late. Because you see the light and hope.

It is said that most successful people have a gambler's mentality. This does not mean that they all like gambling, but describes their pursuit and desire for success, just as gamblers want to win money.

For example, when playing slot machines, the probability setting of slot machines remains unchanged, and it will not vary from person to person. But it often happens that you are just a little short of winning money, constantly giving you hope and stimulating you, making you firmly believe that you will have a chance next time.

Under the strong stimulation of hope, you will bet again and again, constantly trying until you lose all the money in your wallet.

Of course, people who know how to restrain themselves will stop when they are better or give up decisively to avoid greater losses.

People who often give up halfway through doing things are mostly because they can never see hope and taste the sweetness. It eventually leads to despair and has to give up.

Take chasing a girl as an example. If the other party gives a chance and hope, you will continue to pursue it, even if the other party does not give a clear attitude.

If a girl hides when she sees you, she has a firm attitude and just refuses to date you. Although you have pursued it for a long time, you have never seen hope. At this time, you are likely to give up and have to give up.

But if one day suddenly, her best friend tells you that the reason she rejects you is to test you and test your sincerity, you may immediately become energetic and make up your mind to continue chasing and fighting hard, and to impress the other party with sincerity.

Why? Because her best friend's statement makes you see hope again.

The reason why many people always see hope and taste the sweetness is because they set up a superhuman plan for themselves, an impossible task.

For example, lose 30 kilograms per month; do 100 push-ups a day; run 5 kilometers a day, etc. As a result, I might have been desperate before I even started and thought I could not finish it and gave up.

Little do they know that they ignore the law of development of things that is gradual and cannot be achieved overnight.

You should first set a small goal for yourself, let yourself make progress a little every day, and you can feel that you have another step towards success every day, so that you will have the motivation to continue and enable yourself to achieve your ultimate goal.

3 How can you see hope?

First, we must concretize the target so that effective measures can be taken.

Wright brothers were interested in machinery when they were very young. They would often lie on the grass and think, why can't the birds in the sky fly, and why can't people. At first, they didn't know what to do to achieve human flight.

After the father knew their ideas, he gave them a flying spiral. The flying spiral flew up and down with the elastic force of the rubber band, which made them very excited.

Father told them that the flying spiral is a simulated bird's wings, and after flapping the air downward, it gains upward force. They were so happy that they thought they had found the direction of their efforts: turning the question of "how can people fly" into "how to imitate birds to design a machine to let the machine fly with people."

They began to study the principle of flying eagles and used this principle to create glider .

Glider can stay in the air like a kite, but cannot fly for a long time. So they thought again that the bird could fly because it kept flapping its wings. If the machine was given a power system, wouldn't the machine continue to fly?

With this clear question, they, with the help of engineers, made an engine-powered propeller to provide power and can fly longer. Although there will be countless problems after

, it is much more specific and easier to solve than the problem of "how can people fly". In the end, the plane took them to fly at an altitude of 76 meters for 1 hour and 14 minutes.

Second, we must constantly set small goals to create a sense of accomplishment.

The famous Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergey Bubka is a person with a strong sense of purpose. He is known as the "high jump czar", but people prefer to call him "King of One Centimeter".

The reason is that before each game, the target height he set for himself was only one centimeter more than the previous time, and the result of each game was only one centimeter higher than the previous record, until he retired.

Many people do not understand his behavior. Some people say he is making gimmicks, attracting attention and increasing attention; some people say he is good at calculating and can jump higher, but in order to get record-breaking bonuses every time, he is only a little higher at a time; some people say that he is not capable enough and only improves a few millimeters in one year of training.

The answer was not revealed until he retired and he took office as chairman of the International Olympic Committee. He said: "Many people don't understand my 'one-centimeter goal', but I actually have my own method.

Because 'one-centimeter' is a goal that I can achieve through hard work. If I set too high goals and bring pressure rather than motivation, then I may not be willing to continue to struggle, and the goal will always be just a difficult goal.

Every time I break the record, I surpass myself before, and can get happy and satisfy my goal, which makes me happier than how much bonus I get."

We must constantly set small goals in the process of achieving big goals and find a sense of accomplishment.

In this way, in the process of learning and practice, you will constantly refresh small goals, constantly let yourself see hope, and ultimately achieve big goals.

When one day, you feel overwhelmed and lack the motivation to continue doing it, please imagine, are you willing to accept the consequences of not doing it? What reality will you face if you fail to achieve your goal? Is that what you want?

Can you spread your imagination and depict the various situations after you give up in your brain as carefully as possible? I believe you will make the wisest choice!
