Low-key life, high-profile work

Chapter 14 Look for the goal and go all out for the dream in my heart (2)
At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and the dark clouds were immediately blown aside.When Beta saw it, she immediately understood and shouted: "Grandma Feng, you are really amazing, you can blow away the dark clouds that cover the sun in one breath."

"Oh, I'm far behind the wall behind you. When I encounter it, I can only change direction." Feng said.

Beta turned around in surprise, and said to the wall, "Brother Wall, so you are the greatest in this world!"

"That's not true!" Wall said sullenly, "I'm about to fall down, because your brothers and sisters have drilled so many holes under my feet!"

As soon as I said this, I only heard a "bang", and the wall collapsed.At the bottom of the wall, a nest of little mice was looking out with surprised eyes.

Beta suddenly realized that everyone has advantages and disadvantages. You can envy others, but there is no need to look down on yourself, because everyone is unique and has their own advantages.As long as you work hard to maximize your own advantages, anyone may become a winner.

Wisdom
One can only understand others if one understands oneself.Only those who really know themselves can make correct judgments about things, otherwise they can only make wrong choices again and again.

see yourself from a new perspective
Life is always like joking with people. Maybe you had a smooth job in the first half of your life, but you were forced to resign at middle age; maybe you have a close lover, but you suffered a marriage change when you were forty years...Under the blow of fate, people often doubt themselves The value of life: what is the purpose of my life, what is my value, and what can I look forward to in my doom?In fact, your value lies in how you look at yourself. When you value yourself, you will truly double your worth.

He is an ordinary person with no great achievements, so he always feels that life is meaningless.One day, he asked a philosopher: "Great philosopher, can you tell me what is the meaning of life for an ordinary person like me?" The philosopher thought for a while, then picked up a stone under the tree Handed it to him and said: "You take this stone to the market and sell it in crowded places, but remember, no matter how high the price others offer, you don't want to sell it."

He did.To his surprise, because he was determined not to sell it, people increasingly believed that the stone was a treasure and must be hiding some secret, and the price soared all the way instead.The next day, according to the philosopher's intention, he took the stone to the jade market to sell.As a result, because he was still unwilling to sell, the price continued to rise, far exceeding the value of jade.On the third day, the philosopher asked him to sell the stone in the jewelry market.In the end, a miracle happened, and a large number of jewelers came after hearing the news. This ordinary, worthless stone became the most eye-catching commodity in the entire jewelry market. People even thought it was a rare fossil that would never happen in a thousand years.

"How could this be?" He asked the philosopher very puzzled, "This is obviously an ordinary stone."

"Yes." The philosopher replied, "When you ignore it, it is an ordinary stone, but when you cherish it very much and treat it as a rare treasure, it has supreme value. Life is not It is the same?"

He suddenly realized that the value of life is determined by himself.A person who cherishes himself can gradually enrich and perfect himself, constantly improve his self-cultivation and taste, and let others recognize your value.Only by truly looking at yourself and discovering yourself from a perspective different from others can you create miracles.

American music genius Kim Autrey has won countless flowers and applause from the United States and the world with his unique timbre and singing style.Like most successful people, he also went through a long period of bitterness before becoming successful.

Kim Autrey, who was born in the countryside of Texas, spoke a local dialect. He felt that the native dialect was rustic and unpleasant, so he decided to change his dialect and speak like a gentleman in the city.Since then, when someone asked him where he was from, he claimed to be a New Yorker.When he communicates with others, he will always carefully follow the behavior standards of local gentlemen, and strive to be a perfect gentleman.Although he imitated meticulously everywhere, he was still pretentious, and his local accent could not be completely eradicated, so people ridiculed him in private every now and then, and even attacked him as a hypocrite.

Kim Autrey fell into extreme confusion after hearing everyone's evaluation of him.He thought: I just don't want to be looked down upon, am I wrong?So what do I have to do to be recognized by others?After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to return to his original self, his true self, even if people laughed at his rusticity even more because of it.But he didn't expect that his authentic self would be welcomed by everyone.When he sang old songs from his hometown with his original accent, the audience was fascinated by it.From then on, he began his terrific acting career, and eventually became a world-renowned western singer.

In this world, everyone has a unique place. Only by maintaining your true self and showing your personal characteristics can you reach the success of your dreams as soon as possible.Although imitating others may not lead to success, but you are not of much value in yourself.When your way of imitating others does not work, you have to re-examine yourself, and knowing yourself from another angle may have greater gains.

Wisdom
Only by re-knowing yourself can you choose what kind of life path to take.The strengths of others may not be what you need. Looking at yourself from another angle is to give life a way out.

Let the dream shine into reality

Once upon a time, there were two hungry people got a gift from an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of fresh huge fish.The two were very happy, and both began to look forward to the future life.One of them asked for a crate of fish, and he fantasized: I finally have food, what a fresh fish, I don’t have to go hungry at last, and I can go to work and live far away when I’m full, what a life! wonderful!The other person asked for a fishing rod, and he thought: That person is so stupid, the day when the fish will be eaten up, I can go to the beach to fish with the fishing rod, and I can sell the fish when I am full, and then buy it. A small boat, so that you can live a decent life!So they parted ways.The person who got the fish, lit a bonfire with dry sticks and cooked the fish. He wolfed it down, and before he could taste the meat, he ate up all the fish, including the soup, in an instant.Soon after, he starved to death next to the empty fish basket.The other person continued to starve with a fishing rod, and walked towards the beach with difficulty step by step, but when he saw the blue ocean not far away, the last bit of strength in his body was exhausted. He could only helplessly pass away with endless regrets.There were two hungry people. They also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the elders.They also wanted to live a good life, but instead of going their separate ways, they agreed to find the sea together.The two of them only cook one fish at a time, and have always kept themselves from being too hungry.They traveled long distances to the seaside, and from then on, the two began to fish for a living.A few years later, they built a house, had their own families, had their own fishing boats, and lived a happy and healthy life.

This story tells us that a person who only cares about immediate interests will end up with short-term happiness; a person who has lofty goals must face reality.Only by organically combining ideals and reality can one become a successful person.Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to inspire people with meaningful life.

The scenery in the dream is always beautiful, but the reality is always cruel.There is a poem that reads: Life is a dream, and joy is in the dream.Sweet as honey in the dream, nothing to wake up.So we have to face the reality, because people can grow only in the reality, and if the dream can't get close to the reality, it is just an illusory thing.No matter what time it is, there is a big difference between dreams and reality.We have to try to face reality happily and find joy in reality.

Wisdom
When it comes to ideals, you might as well think more about its feasibility. Don't let the frivolity of youth bury the hope for the future. Letting your dreams come true is the best choice.

Determine the goal
If a person wants to achieve great success, he must set long-term goals and be mentally prepared for long-term combat.With a clear goal, you will have a direction. As long as you persevere and work hard towards the goal, you will get closer to the goal step by step.Big goals can become reality if you give as much as those who succeed.

A young reporter asked a successful old man, what factors make many people pursue success but fail to succeed.

The old man replied: "A vague goal." The reporter asked him to give an example.He said: "Just like I asked you just now, what is your goal, you said that you hope to own a villa one day, this is a vague goal. The problem is that 'one day' is not clear enough, because it is not clear enough , the chances of success are slim.”

Looking at the confused eyes of the young man, the old man said: "If you really want to buy a villa, you must first think about when and what kind of villa you want to buy, and you must also figure out the value of the villa you want. Then consider Market conditions, figure out how much you will need for the villa when you buy it. Then you have to decide what you need to do and how much you want to save every month to achieve this goal. If your goal is so clear and you really do it , you may have the villa you want by then. If you only have vague dreams, this wish will be difficult to achieve.”

People should not only have dreams, but also have clear goals, and use goals to pave a road to success for themselves.As long as you persevere on the road of success paved with your own goals, even if you can't get twice the result with half the effort, you must accumulate every effort.No matter how far away from the goal, you can always get closer to the goal step by step.Otherwise, precious resources will be wasted unknowingly, often rushing to get half the result with half the effort, and after working hard, find that it is just useless work, and what we get is only pain and regret.We must be the strongest version of ourselves and set clear and specific goals for ourselves.Failure to make timely efforts to do the right thing is to allow mistakes; no strategy and action to win is to wait and welcome failure.
