As a single woman in her early 50s, I often wonder what the meaning of my life is. When we work with enthusiasm, we have to choose to retire when we are caught off guard; when we wholeheartedly want to take care of our children, the children are With the other half who will be with you all your life, and yourself, you are alone, the sunset is infinite, how will you live, Mrs. Xu?
Inamori Kazuo in the book "Fighting Soul", gave a formula for how to achieve a successful life: success = ability X enthusiasm X way of thinking. He said the way of thinking is the most important of the three factors.
You have to say, what does this have to do with you, a person who is about to retire, you have quit your career, growing flowers at home, cooking, fitness is the best life, whether it is successful or not. That's right, the basic living conditions of this age group are like this.
But this normal state of retirement should also be maintained with a clear self-awareness, which is the positive thinking that Mr. Inamori said. As an old man who has quit the workplace, without the discipline and constraints in the work unit, and without regular time node control, if people relax all of a sudden, they will inevitably feel lost and overwhelmed. habit, life becomes a mess.
The philosophy of life advocated by Kazuo Inamori is also applicable in our retirement life when we are in a state of complete "lying flat".
Kazuo Inamori is a Japanese entrepreneur who is especially respected and admired by Chinese entrepreneurs Ren Zhengfei , Ma Yun , etc. He is known as the "Saint of Management" all over the world. He founded Kyocera and KDDI, which are among the world's top 500 companies, from scratch. After being diagnosed with stomach cancer at the age of 65, he unexpectedly distributed the company's shares to employees and became a monk himself.
Later, due to the poor management of Japan Airlines Group, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. The Prime Minister of Japan personally invited him to come out again. He lived up to expectations and brought the JAL Group out of the business quagmire. The book "Improving Mindfulness and Expanding Business" written by him has become a sunflower treasure book for entrepreneurs, and "Spirit of Fighting" can be said to be an upgraded version of the previous book.
"Battle of the Soul" has written two parts, the first part is about how to be successful in life; the second part is about how to succeed in business. For us ordinary people, mastering the content of the first part is enough.
So, is there any point in reading this book for retirees who seem to be able to see their heads at a glance? Of course it makes sense. If you can live to 90 years old, you will have to live for nearly 40 years after retirement. These 40 years are also part of life, and you also need to work hard and work hard to achieve success. Among the three factors of
ability + enthusiasm + thinking mode, thinking mode plays a leading role. For example, when you retire, you just want to live your own life and let yourself go. With this kind of thinking, your actions will be self-centered. For example: 56-year-old Su Min, who travels alone by car, is a typical representative of finding himself and seeking inner happiness.
In her retirement, going out to nature and getting out of the life tied by a repressed marriage is her passion, and she also has the ability to travel: she has retirement salary, driving skills, and a car, so her Retirement life is a success, no matter what her previous life was like, since she started to travel alone by driving, she has embarked on a different road to success than before. Today, she has become a well-known Internet celebrity through self-driving tours. Written infinitely wonderful.
After a colleague of mine retired, he suddenly slackened. He slept until 11 or 2 o'clock in the morning and didn't get up. Breakfast and lunch were combined at 1 or 2 o'clock. Correspondingly, dinner was delayed until 7 or 8 o'clock, which affected the digestion of the stomach and intestines. . At night, if I don't sleep at 1 or 2 o'clock by continuously brushing my mobile phone and watching dramas, it not only affects the rest of my family, but also affects the normal functioning of my body.
Let’s talk about the ability in retirement. You will say, what ability is needed in retirement. Then you are wrong. A considerable number of retirees lack the ability to maintain a normal retirement life. Among them, men account for the majority. They return to their families at once, and have a lot of free time. Women may also do some housework to pass the time. As for men, they play cards, drink and drink outside of work in the workplace. After retirement, such activities are suddenly reduced, and emptiness follows. There are not a few idle and critical people at home.
As for women, they feel that there is time, they will become sloppy when they start things, they will be lazy, their ability to live will gradually become low, and their life will not be enough enthusiasm. Two days ago, I heard the two aunts and sisters talking about their mother-in-law and mother on an occasion, and they all looked very disgusted.
said that her mother-in-law often washes and dentures on the faucet of the kitchen sink. She doesn't care if there are pots and pans in the sink, which makes the whole family very frustrated. She gently reminds her that she doesn't care too much, and it will be the same next time. I go my own way. This is a typical person who has lost his enthusiasm for life, has no scruples, and goes his own way.
When Mr. Kazuo Inamori explained his ability, he pointed out that to improve ability, we must first overcome ourselves and fight against the desire for comfort. Many people have dreamed many dreams in their lives, but have not achieved a single thing. Because of their desire to live a comfortable life, they did not take the first step in chasing their dreams.If Su Min was afraid of the various risks and difficulties in the journey, she would not have taken the first step of the self-driving tour, and she would not be as exciting as she is today.
He also proposed the ability to use the future tense. If you don't have this ability now, it's not necessarily that you won't have this ability in the future. Just like you chose to go to University for the Elderly and to learn painting after retirement. Now you are only learning the basic stage. As long as you make up your mind to learn, you will definitely draw your own works.
This is the same as the concept of learning to break through the comfort zone of and . This concept tells people to set the goal a little higher when learning, and set it too low. Learning is in the comfort zone. If there is no difficulty, there will be no progress. The goal of learning is set. If it is too high, it will hinder the enthusiasm for learning. Because it is too difficult, the learning effect will not be seen, and the enthusiasm for learning will be lost.
Only when you break through the edge of your comfort zone can you easily see the effect of learning and keep your enthusiasm for learning.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. The book "Fighting Soul" shows us Mr. Kazuo Inamori's incomparable enthusiasm for work and life, and through his philosophical thinking in business and life, he points out to people that "maintain tenacity and patience, and resolutely abandon the only way to do The thought at this stage is to break through the barrier, and there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.”
Although retired, if you have a dream, go after it, improve your ability, maintain your enthusiasm, and success in life is beckoning to you !
