Rely on yourself to improve your learning ability
You are the most powerful backer. Goldsmith said: "No matter where you are, you have to create and find your own happiness."
There are not many miracles in life, only the trajectory of your own efforts; there is not much luck, but the courage to persist.
When "Oil King" Rockefeller was young, he was assigned to do some routine work in an oil company because he had no special skills. The task was to check whether the welding joints of oil tanks were intact. Many employees thought this was an unskilled and extremely boring job, and Rockefeller was often ridiculed by his colleagues for this.
Naturally, it feels uncomfortable to be treated coldly by others. Rockefeller concluded: Since he cannot change his job, it is better to do the job well in a down-to-earth manner instead of facing the work with a gloomy face every day.
As a result, Rockefeller, who wanted to understand, began to take his simple and boring work more and more seriously.
From then on, whenever he inspected the factory oil tanks, there was no quality problem. He not only carefully checked whether the welding of the tank lids was intact, but also constantly summarized the findings from his work and expanded his learning. Later, he also came to a conclusion: the can lid work that could be completed by 39 drops of welding fluid actually only required 38 drops to complete the welding.
can save a drop of welding fluid for every can lid welded, which can save the company a lot of money in a year.
has been repeatedly tested and experimented by workers, and the facts have proven him correct.
It is precisely because he was not satisfied with the status quo that Rockefeller moved to a higher position step by step.
There is no wasted effort in the world, and there is no accidental success. All "unintentional willows and willows will make a shadow" will come naturally. Every summary of our learning is the cornerstone and pavement for the future.
You have to walk your own path. The road is long, don’t be greedy, we can’t have everything; don’t be discouraged when encountering thorns, we can’t have everything.
Learn and think , learn and act, and practice. At any time, thinking while learning and improving while thinking are the best ways to improve yourself.
Rely on yourself and improve your mobility.
Every outstanding person has a period of silence. During that period, a lot of efforts were made but no results were obtained. We call it taking root.
"The Analects" once said: Ji Wenzi Think twice before you act. When Zi heard about it, he said: "No more, that's enough."
Ji Wenzi was a man of the state of Lu. He liked to think twice before acting, and was known for his caution and overthinking. ConfuciusAfter learning about it, he said: "You don't have to think twice, just think twice." Zhu Xilater also said: "A gentleman is poor in reason but values decisiveness."
Thinking is the basis of action, and action is the result of thinking. Any idea about must be implemented in action, otherwise it will be empty talk. In life, some people miss many opportunities just because they think too much. I want to do something, but I always look forward and backward, afraid that I won't do it well and that the process will not go smoothly.
"If you are only 40% sure about doing something, if you stop there, it will slowly become 20% sure, and eventually it will become zero. But if you actively strive for it, you can turn the original 40% into 60% or 70%, and finally get the thing done."
For example, if we want to develop the habit of reading, we don't need to require ourselves to read dozens of pages every day. At the beginning, we only need to insist on reading 5 pages a day, and gradually develop the habit. For another example, if we want to keep fit, we don’t have to force ourselves to run 5 kilometers every day. As long as we can exercise for half an hour every day and stick to it, we will gain a healthier self.
When planning to do something, it is difficult to consider all aspects. As long as the road is correct, the direction is right, and you have a general grasp, you can consider taking action. Many expected problems may not occur in reality, and problems that arise in reality can be solved step by step through action.
Instead of being entangled in the internal friction of thinking and thinking, it is better to continuously improve in action.
You should give yourself some time to grow in your study and life. Don't pursue perfection in everything. Just do it step by step, and you will gradually get closer to perfection.
improves mobility and is the key to success.
Rely on yourself to improve your emotional strength.
Napoleon said: "A person who can control his emotions is greater than a general who can capture a city." Don't be arrogant or impatient when things happen, and be practical and reliable in doing things. Managing emotions is the wisdom in doing things and the best way to change yourself.
Emotions are like floods, they should be channeled rather than blocked. The more you are at a trough and confused, the more you must learn to free yourself and stabilize your mentality.
Actor Christopher Reeve was unfortunately paralyzed in a horse riding accident and was enveloped in despair all day long. He later mentioned that he even had thoughts of suicide.
But he soon found the source of his "emotional power": he wanted to continue to accompany his family, began to actively search for treatments for such diseases, and continued to contribute to society.
's strong emotional power helped Reeve cheer up. Even though his physical fitness was severely lacking and he was easily vulnerable to despair, he finally relied on hope and optimism to regain focus and clear thinking.
Only those who can control their emotions can control their own lives.
There is such a passage in " Skin ": "I often want to find a supporter when I can't stand it anymore, but no matter how you look for it, you will find that some mountains are full of thorns, and some mountains are full of wild beasts, so you should be your own mountain."
The road must be walked by yourself, and the road will become wider and wider as you go. Instead of expecting uncertain help, it is better to rely on yourself to strive for the happiness you want.
