Chapter 40 The Wolf Pursuit (8)
People have no real important things to do or lofty goals to achieve in their hearts, so people will be passive.A person who has no direction is the easiest to follow the trend, and also the easiest to be tempted by all kinds of trivial things.Taking the initiative requires us to have a positive attitude. We shout every day to change our lives and achieve success, but it is impossible for a passive person to change his own destiny.But when you find yourself in a powerless life situation, you must first have the courage to get out of this life, and getting out of this life requires you to give up your original vested interests and habits.One of the worst human habits is clinging to what you already have.In fact, as long as you let go of the small world in your heart, you will soon be integrated into a big world.

The world has a lot in store for you.The same people, some people live a life full of happiness, surprises and gains, while others live a life full of mediocrity, boredom and failure.The reason is that actively embracing life and passively accepting fate is the watershed between these two types of people.

Remember: the only initiative you should not have is actively avoiding the wonderful things in life.So what we need is to face life proactively, not to hide from the world passively.Only by taking the initiative can you discover the beauty of life and the splendor of the world.

active
The wolf's code is to be proactive.

Let's first look at the definition of active:
Initiative is the principle of human nature discovered by Frankel, and it is also the primary criterion for pursuing a fulfilled life.

It means more than taking the initiative, it means that one must take responsibility for himself.Personal behavior depends on oneself, not the external environment; reason can overcome emotion; a good external environment is created by people with the ability and responsibility.

Responsibility is an important concept, and every highly motivated human being knows it well enough not to blame circumstances or other people for his actions.They deal with others by making conscious choices based on their own principles or values, rather than acting entirely based on their feelings about the external environment.

It is human nature to be proactive, and if it were not so, it would mean that the person has chosen to be passive, whether consciously or not.Proactive people have their own world in their hearts, and their own principles and values ​​are the key.Passive people are easily changed by the environment.But here your own thought is still a prerequisite.

No matter where you work, no matter who your boss is, the management expects you not to wait for instructions, but to be proactive, put yourself in the shoes of your boss, and consider issues from the perspective of the company.

It is the Chinese and the Jews who are equally famous in the world for their diligence and dedication.However, we often encounter such puzzling phenomena in the United States: in large American companies or financial institutions, a Chinese and a Jewish colleague are equally diligent and talented, but in the end the Chinese In terms of career development, they often lag far behind this Jewish colleague.It can be said that this is a question that confuses many Chinese.So what is the cause of this problem?Everyone may have a different opinion, and a wise person may say many kinds.

Those who meet the boss's final expectations often have better career development prospects.Specifically, the Chinese in the above case may be relatively introverted, and his focus at work is to complete whatever the boss entrusts him to do to perfection; but the Jew is different. In addition to the tasks, I also actively consider problems from the perspective of the boss, not only solving the problems that the boss thought of, but also actively helping the boss to think about the problems that the boss should think about but did not expect, and very proactively thinking of ways to help the boss solve the problem method or answer.

If you were the boss of those two people, who would you give priority to promoting or giving more bonus or salary?
The answer speaks for itself.

Like some employees who have great ambitions and ambitions and hope to make a difference in their careers, it is very important to master this kind of work philosophy full of initiative and enterprising spirit.In the increasingly fierce competition for talents in modern times, it is far from enough to have a good educational background or excellent professional skills.Because, if you don’t have a passion for work, it’s hard for you to have a very positive and responsible attitude, and if you’re not active and responsible, how can you have excellent work performance?
So, what does it mean to be passionate about your work?

For work passion and professionalism, it is necessary for us to distinguish between these two different concepts.The former refers to the employee's dedication to the work from the heart, and the employee takes pleasure in it; while the latter simply refers to the employee's diligent completion of their tasks with their professional skills.It is not difficult to see the difference between the two: the former is active and fun; while the latter is more like an obligation and has no fun in life itself.

We can also say that passion for work is the prerequisite for meeting the ultimate expectations of the boss.Because only when you passionately regard the job ordered or entrusted to you by your boss as your beloved career and an opportunity to realize your ideals and values, you will put yourself in the boss’ shoes to solve problems, and finally achieve results that exceed the boss’s expectations.If so, what is there to worry about about your career prospects?

A scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. This is his third time to go to Beijing to rush for the exam. He lives in a shop where he usually lives. Two days before the exam, he had 3 dreams. The first dream was that he was growing cabbage on the wall. The second dream was a rainy day, and he was wearing a bamboo hat and an umbrella. The third dream was that he was lying naked with his beloved cousin, but back to back.These three dreams seemed to have deep meanings, so Xiucai asked a fortune teller to interpret the dreams the next day.When the fortune teller heard this, he slapped his thighs and said: You'd better go home!Think about it, isn't it a waste of effort to grow cabbage on a high wall?Isn't it superfluous to wear a hat and an umbrella?Lying together with my cousin naked, but back to back, isn't it useless?When Xiucai heard this, she was disheartened, and went back to the store to pack her bags and prepare to go home.The owner of the store felt strange, and after asking, the scholar knew the whole story, and the owner of the store was amused: I can also interpret dreams, but I think you must stay this time. Think about it, isn’t it a good idea to grow vegetables on the wall?Doesn't wearing a hat and holding an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time?Lying back-to-back on the bed with your cousin naked means that it's time for you to turn over.After hearing this, the scholar felt that it was very reasonable, so he shook his spirits and took the exam, and finally got a third prize.

A positive person, like the sun, shines brightly wherever it shines.Ideas determine our lives, what kind of ideas we have, what kind of future we have.A person with positive thoughts has a bright future as well.

No one can hurt you unless you agree.This is what the wife of President Roosevelt Jr. said.In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, the Hindu nationalist and spiritual leader: No one can take away our self-respect unless it is handed over to us.Therefore, what hurts the most is not the tragic experience, but the silent promise of what happened to oneself.

There is a real example that proves that stupid children can also succeed by using the wolf's principle.

From childhood to adulthood, Bit was slower than other children in everything. His classmates laughed at him for being stupid, and the teacher said he didn't work hard. No matter how he tried to do well and change himself, he never did it right.It wasn't until Bit was in the ninth grade that a doctor diagnosed him with dyskinesia.When graduating from high school, Bit applied to the 10 most average schools, thinking that no one would admit him.But it turned out that he did not receive a notification.

For just $250, admission to a college is guaranteed.Inadvertently, Bit saw the ad.Turns out he paid $250, and a college actually sent him an acceptance letter.Seeing the name of this university, Bit immediately remembered that a few years ago, a newspaper wrote an article about this university: this is a school where no one fails, as long as the father of the student is rich, there is no one who will not be admitted .At that time, Bit had only one belief: I want to use the future to prove this false statement.After a year at this university, Bit transferred to another university, and after graduation, he entered the real estate industry. At the age of 22, he opened a real estate company of his own.Since then, he has built nearly 4 apartments in 900 states of the United States, owns [-] chain stores, and has assets of hundreds of millions of dollars.In the end, Bit achieved the position of chief executive in the banking industry.

People will wonder, how did a stupid kid like Bit manage to succeed?Bit himself said three things:
First, everyone has their own strengths, their most powerful side, for example, some people can write, some people can calculate, so it is very difficult for some people, but easy for others.What I want to emphasize is: you must do what is most suitable for you, and don't do a difficult thing that is not good for you but to cater to others, but you have to pay a high price.

Second, I have parents who are so understanding, tolerant and patient with me. I feel very lucky. If there is an exam question that others only spend 15 minutes on, but I have to spend 2 hours to complete it, my parents never Will hit me for this.For my parents, the goal was as long as their son did his best.

Third, I never compete with my classmates. If my classmates are tall and big and run fast, but I am short and small, why do I have to compare with them?Knowing where you can stop is very important.I have also asked myself thousands of times, why can others learn easily?

Why can't I ever answer the question?Why am I always failing?After knowing my illness, professionals gave me care and explanation.Understanding yourself and understanding your surroundings is also very important.

From the above story, we can see that there are actually many aspects to taking the initiative.When we face the blind spots in our life, we should think and act from a different angle. There is no permanent difficulty in the world.To use a popular saying now, there are only things you can't think of, but nothing you can't do.

As the saying goes: Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.It means that as long as you make up your mind, have perseverance, perseverance, and do it actively, then even the most difficult things in the world will become easy.Although the poor monk had no money and could not afford a car or boat, but because of his strong perseverance, he was able to travel thousands of miles and worked tirelessly, and finally realized his wish.

We can read a signal from the story: people who are not proactive can only lie in place and rest forever.There will be no day of success.

We can also discover the following truths from it:

(1) It is better to stand up and act instead of lying down and thinking!
(2) No matter how long you have walked or how tired you are, never lie down and rest at the door of success;

(3) Dreams are not fantasies.

Yes, it is impossible for pies to fall in the sky, there are no sheep that voluntarily go to wolves.Success depends on being proactive. It is impossible for us to be indifferent to external material, spiritual and social stimuli.We should work hard to adapt to society. A professor once said: Adapting to the environment itself is an integral part of struggle.But no matter what the external environment is, one's own rewards are obtained in one's own hands.

§§§The fourth wolf goal

Wolf's statement:

We will not wag our heads and tails at our masters regardless of our dignity for the sake of eating food.Because we know that we must not be arrogant, but we must not be without pride, so we sometimes hum the song of freedom alone.

persistent pursuit
Wolves have roamed the earth for 100 million years.Humans hunted down wolves, poisoned them, set traps, and even shot them with high-powered weapons from airplanes.People have also destroyed large areas of wolf habitat and eliminated many herd animals that wolves have relied on since ancient times, such as bison, elk, caribou, etc.Before humans flourished, wolves were the most widespread wild animal in the world.But wander in farther parts of our world.They are animals that do not need human handouts.They just want to be left alone, to be able to live the way their Creator allowed them to live.Tragically, this determination of wolves to cling to their social order and way of life is what has led to their near extinction from the face of the earth.Yet they still have to adapt to some of the harshest climates and harshest environments on Earth, and they persevere in pursuit of their way of life.To learn the survival rules of wolves, we must learn the persevering tenacity and persistent pursuit of goals.

The wolf is a symbol of tenacity and unruly,

wolf, indomitable wolf,

Faced with constant hunger, they learned to endure,

In the disappointment of not being able to find food, they look for hope.

——This is the tenacity of the wolf!
Wolves, pack of wolves united,

They come together for a common goal,
They can sacrifice themselves for the realization of collective goals.

——This is the cohesion of wolves!

There is nothing that can replace the spirit of perseverance in the life of a wolf, because it enables the wolf to survive all kinds of hardships.As our dominance over society increases, do we value perseverance as much as we should?
Not all those who pursue persistently are brave, but those who are brave must be those who pursue persistently.Bravery, the spirit of the strong.The brave are the ones who are brave and brave; the crown of science belongs to climbers who dare to take risks and dare to compete; those who pursue bravely will have the sweetness of love.

As Pritam said: The path of 'Hari (God)' belongs to the brave, not the cowards. What Hari means here can really be said to be the truth, a brave man is someone who is equipped with fearlessness, not someone who holds a sword or a gun.He who arms himself can only be a man full of fear.

All fears are conquered by the seeker of truth.In his quest for truth, he was ready to sacrifice everything, even as Koris Chandala did.The Korischandara story may be a fable, but every seeker of truth will witness its truth from personal experience.Stories are as precious and important as historical facts.

Persistent pursuit is a kind of spirit, and it is also a test of will.None of the achievers in ancient and modern China and abroad has pursued without regret.

An interesting experiment was conducted at Amherst College in Massachusetts, USA.The experimenters used many iron rings to hoop a small pumpkin to observe how much pressure was exerted on the iron ring when the pumpkin gradually grew up.Initially they estimated that the pumpkins could withstand a maximum of about 500 pounds of pressure.

In the first month of the experiment, the pumpkin was subjected to a pressure of 500 pounds; in the second month of the experiment, the pumpkin was subjected to a pressure of 1500 pounds. When it was subjected to a pressure of 2000 pounds, the researchers had to strengthen the hoop. , so that the pumpkin does not prop up the hoop.

At the end of the study, the skin of the pumpkin ruptured after more than 5000 pounds of pressure.

They opened the pumpkin and found that it was no longer edible, because its center was full of tough and strong layers of fibers, trying to break through the iron ring that surrounded it.In order to absorb sufficient nutrients so as to break through the iron circle that limits its growth, its roots even extend over 8 feet, all of which are stretched in different directions. Finally, this pumpkin alone approaches and controls the soil and soil of the entire garden. resource.

Think of life from the growth of pumpkins.We often have no idea how strong we can be!If pumpkins can withstand such a huge pressure, how much pressure can humans withstand in the same environment?Most of us can handle more stress than we think.Because you have a lot more potential than you think!As long as you break free from the bound iron ring like a little pumpkin, there will be no difficulty to stop you!

In the long river of wisdom in life, the principle that always guides life is persistent pursuit.Life is beautiful, and if you want the best, you will often get the best if you are persistent in your pursuit.
