Chapter 22 Spontaneous, strive to achieve a perfect life (2)
A positive person is like the sun, which shines brightly wherever it shines; a negative person is like the moon, which is different on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.Ideas determine our lives, what kind of ideas we have, what kind of future we have.As long as you think about it from another angle, the reality is not as bad as you imagine. For example, some people think: I am worthless, but I am happy with myself, right?With optimistic and positive thoughts and self-affirmation, you will find new direction and meaning.

There was an old woman who was always crying in front of a temple, crying on sunny days and rainy days.One day, an old monk asked her, "Old benefactor, why are you crying so sadly?" Umbrellas can’t be sold; when it rains, no one buys cloth shoes for the little daughter. They can’t earn money, how can they live! Thinking of these makes me sad.” After speaking, the old woman cried bitterly again stand up. "Old benefactor, why don't you think about it the other way around? On a sunny day, your younger daughter's shoe store is crowded; on a rainy day, all the passers-by on the street run to your older daughter's umbrella shop. Isn't this not a pain?" the old woman said. He felt that what he said made sense, so he followed his advice.Since then, I have been smiling from ear to ear every day.

Live in a different mood, and the sky in front of you will change to another color.When there is no light, the shadow is hidden in the deep darkness.

Everyone has the potential to create excellence, and the talents allocated to everyone by God are equal, but those who are not afraid of adversity and are good at thinking are more favored.In the face of failure and setbacks, have you ever suffered?Pain is your own creation, and God will always inspire you to turn pain into a beacon of success. It depends on whether you can discover it and take action after discovering it.

Wisdom
Negative thoughts eat into your mind like a virus.Compared with the virus in the mind, the virus in the body is not terrible, because the virus in the body can be cured, but the virus in the mind can poison our brain, thinking, and even destroy our entire life.

learn positive self-suggestion

Have you ever experienced such a situation in your life: you passed by KFC on the way shopping, found the hamburger on the advertising board very attractive, walked in involuntarily, and realized that you were not hungry after ordering the hamburger; went to the supermarket and bought a large We piled up things, and when we got home, we found that some things were not needed at all; After a while it was annoying as hell.These situations often appear in our daily life, and we sometimes feel inexplicable about this situation. In fact, from a psychological point of view, it is not surprising at all.Because the surrounding environment gives you hints and affects your subconscious mind, you will have corresponding behaviors and moods without knowing it. Positive psychological hints may even change your life.

In Warsaw, a little girl plays with a group of children.A mysterious gypsy witch came over, held up the girl's hand, looked carefully and said, "You will be famous all over the world!" Many years later, the prophecy came true, and the little girl became Madame Curie later.A worker was locked in a cold storage after get off work, and was found frozen to death the next day, but surprisingly, there was no electricity at all that day, and the cold storage was only at normal temperature.You may have heard similar stories, but you may not have thought about the truth.In fact, there is no accurate prophecy in the world. It was the witch who gave Madame Curie a belief in success. She got this psychological hint and believed that she would be famous all over the world, so she walked towards success step by step.The worker killed himself. Looking at the closed iron gate, he thought: It’s over, it’s tens of degrees below zero here, and I’m sure I’m going to freeze to death!So, he really died.

Dr. Rosenthal is an education expert in the United States. In the 20s, he conducted a very famous experiment in middle schools in California:

At the beginning of the school year, Rosenthal quietly switched the students in the fast class and the slow class divided by the school.The teachers in charge of the class did not know about it. Rosenthal said to the teachers: "Students in the fast class are smart students carefully selected by the school. They will become elites and pillars of society in the future. You must educate them well. As for the students in the slow class Students, just follow your usual teaching method." The teachers agreed.

At the first class, these teachers gave a speech to the "fast class" students with enthusiasm, telling them that the school has high hopes for these smart students and hopes that they will continue to work hard and achieve better results.Of course, they also brought a normal attitude into the classroom of the "slow class" students.

A jaw-dropping situation has emerged. Those so-called "fast class" students who received positive hints from the teacher have greatly improved their self-confidence, and their enthusiasm for learning has also generally increased; Negative hints, self-confidence is hit, and learning enthusiasm is also greatly reduced.After a period of time, Rosenthal conducted an evaluation, and the results showed that the scores of the students in the "fast class" generally improved significantly, while the scores of the students in the "slow class" generally declined.When the results of the summary test at the end of the semester came out, there was no difference between the average grades of the two classes, and the student with the best grades was actually in the "fast class". You must know that he was an ordinary member of the slow class!This unexpected result caused an uproar in the education field, and also woke up all the students and parents who felt complacent or inferior because of the fast and slow classes.It turns out that the difference between the so-called fast and slow classes does not lie in talent or grades, but in the confidence and enthusiasm of the students!With it, the slow class may be faster than the fast class; without it, the fast class may be slower than the slow class.It can be seen that positive psychological hints contain enormous power.Generally speaking, the more a person believes that he can succeed, the more chances and possibilities he has for success.Therefore, we should actively create and accept some positive psychological hints.

Psychological suggestion is very common in daily life. Businesses often use it to attract customers to consume, teachers use it to guide students to learn, bosses use it to motivate employees to work, and it uses implicit and indirect methods to quickly affect people's psychological state. With a reminder, let us accept the influence unconsciously.In order to maintain a good mood and to embark on a successful path, you must give yourself positive psychological hints.

Wisdom
Self-encouragement and self-comfort are positive self-suggestions, which can adjust the mental state.When we are in trouble, we must never give up on ourselves, so as not to exert a bad influence on ourselves.

believe that you are unique

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no identical you in the world either.On the road of life, you are unique, you are you, no one can replace you, only if you believe that you are unique in the world, you will be unique in the world.Believing in ourselves allows us to use our strengths and talents.

In the zoo, the little camel saw so many beautiful animals and couldn't help feeling sad about his ugliness.So I asked my mother:

"Mom, why are our eyelashes so long?"

The camel mother said: "When the wind and sand come, the long eyelashes can help us see the direction in the storm." The little camel asked again: "Mom, why are our backs so hunchbacked? It's so ugly!" The camel mother said: "This is called a hump, which can help us store a lot of water and nutrients, so that we can endure a life without water and food for more than ten days in the desert." The little camel asked again: "Mom, why are the soles of our feet so thick? "The camel mother said: "That can prevent our heavy bodies from sinking in the soft sand, which is convenient for long-distance treks!" The little camel was very happy: "Wow, so we are so useful! How about staying in the zoo instead of going hiking in the desert?" The camel mother said: "In the zoo, we have food and shelter, don't we live well?" The little camel was speechless.

Because of differences in birth, growth, parents, and regions, everyone is different from others.Some people regard it as an advantage, cultivate it with heart, and achieve what it deserves; some people regard it as a shortcoming, blindly avoid it, and finally lose themselves.However, for everyone, life itself is a story, the key is whether you can find your own truth.

One day, a donkey of a certain farmer accidentally fell into a dry well.The farmer racked his brains to find a way to rescue the donkey, but hours passed and the donkey was still wailing in pain in the well.Finally the farmer decided to give up, thinking the donkey was too old to be worth the trouble of getting him out, but anyway the well had to be filled.So the farmer invited the neighbors to help him bury the donkey in the well, so as to save it from suffering.With a shovel in hand, the farmer's neighbors began to shovel the soil into the dry well.When the donkey learned about his situation, he cried miserably at first.But unexpectedly, the donkey calmed down after a while.The farmer looked at the bottom of the well curiously, and the sight in front of him surprised him: when the soil shoveled into the well fell on the back of the donkey, the donkey immediately shook the soil aside, and then stood up to the pile of soil shoveled in. above.

Just like that, the donkey shook all the soil that everyone shoveled on it to the bottom of the well, and then stood up again.Soon, the donkey triumphantly rose to the mouth of the well, and then quickly ran away amidst the surprised expressions of everyone.

In fact, this donkey is like us in trouble. Maybe there are friends who are willing to lend a helping hand, but this does not mean that we can be rescued. When everyone gives up, we still have to stick to one belief, that is to rely on ourselves , believe that you are unique.Any external force is just a kind of help, and you can only control your own destiny in the end.

There was an American named Nick, who invested all his funds in a small toy factory, but due to the financial crisis, the finished toys could not be sold, and the toy factory declared bankruptcy not long after.Nick was devastated and increasingly sad, even contemplating suicide.Later, Nick saw a book called "Self-Confidence". He found the author of the book and wanted him to help him.When Nick finished telling his story to the author, the author told him: "I have listened to your story with great interest. I hope I can help you, but in fact, I have no ability to help you." Nick immediately His face was pale, and he lowered his head and said, "It's over." The author paused for a few seconds and said, "Although I can't help you, I can introduce you to someone who can help you make a comeback." So the author Take Nick to a tall mirror, point to the mirror and say, "I'm introducing this man. In this world, only this man can make you come back. If you don't know this man thoroughly, use this man's strength , then you can only jump into Lake Michigan." Nick listened and took a few steps forward, touched his bearded face, looked at the person in the mirror from head to toe for a few minutes, and then took a few steps back , bowed his head and began to cry.A few days later, Nick found a job with a monthly salary of $3000 and started a new life.

In fact, a person's mentality changes in an instant. When you are in a difficult situation, you must believe in yourself. Only when you believe that you are unique can you have the strength to fight against setbacks.

Wisdom
Smart people always believe that what you are born with will be useful, and this confidence will give you infinite strength.No matter how chaotic the world is, don't lose your heart. Only by believing that you are unique can you achieve a career.

Passion is the driving force behind success
Emerson, a famous American writer, said: "In history, there has never been a great cause that has not been successful because of enthusiasm." This is not only a wise motto, but also a street light pointing to success.

In 1977, when Bill Gates was studying at Harvard University, he gave up his mathematics major and switched to the IT industry, all because of his love for software.If he continues to stay at Harvard to study mathematics he doesn't like and becomes a professor of mathematics, can you imagine to what extent his potential will be suppressed? In 2002, Bill Gates served as CEO of Microsoft for 25 years.What everyone didn't expect was that he resolutely handed over the job of CEO to Ballmer, because only in this way can he devote himself to his favorite job-as the chief software architect, focusing on software technology innovation. "I can finally do my favorite job!" Bill Gates was very happy.When he changed to the chief software architect, he made a significant contribution to the company's technical direction, and more importantly, he was full of enthusiasm. This cheerful mood also infected others and boosted the morale of all employees.Once, when an American reporter interviewed Bill Gates, he asked: "When I visited Microsoft, I found that every employee worked very hard, and the most valuable thing was that they looked very happy. How do you build such a company? Cultural?" Bill Gates replied: "We have a prerequisite for hiring employees, that is, he must love this profession enough, and this employee must be passionate about software development." This is a necessary prerequisite for Microsoft's success.

Warren Buffett, America's best investor and a good friend of Bill Gates, also recognizes the importance of passion.When students asked him for advice, he always replied: "I am no different from you. If you must find a difference, it may be that I have the opportunity to do the work I love most every day. I am happy, passionate, and have a career." If you want me to give you advice, this is the best advice I can give you." Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have taught us a lesson. What they love is not vulgar fame and fortune. Their fame and fortune are brought about by ideals and passion, and passion is the driving force behind their work.

Do you worry about how to balance work and life? Indeed, doing a good job is likely to affect the quality of life to a certain extent.The key to solving this problem is to have a good attitude. If you have enough passion, the problem will be solved.Enthusiasm will increase the courage to fight, and interest will stimulate a person's potential. Only in this way can you truly develop your ability.What people are most afraid of is not having their own goals. Without goals, there is no direction to move forward. Only with enthusiasm can you set foot on the ladder of success.

The Brookings Institution is an organization in the United States that trains outstanding salesmen. It has a "Golden Boot Award" representing the greatest salesman. This time the challenge is to sell something to the current US president.After Bush came to power, the topic was to sell an axe.Many people think that the president has everything, so why would he want an axe?So I gave up without even trying.A salesman named Herbert didn't think so. He thought that as long as he had perseverance and perseverance, he could sell the ax to the president.After researching and researching, he found that Bush had a farm, and in the autumn, many trees had many dead branches to be cut off, so he wrote to Bush, saying, "You must need an ax that can not only exercise but also cut dead trees. ", and talked about the magical effect of the axe.In the end, Herbert successfully sold an ax to Bush and won the "Golden Boot Award", which had been suspended for many years.

Among all the salesmen, Herbert's ability is not the most prominent, and his eloquence is not the best, but he has enthusiasm and a sense of mission for the sales profession, so he finally succeeded.

In real life, some of us are not lacking in intelligence, but we are not interested in the work we are doing, indifferent, and have no enthusiasm; Losing interest in the dull feeling, just as people say, doing things "3 minutes of heat"; there are also some people who get bored and shrink back when they encounter difficulties in the process of doing something, and the result is always to see Seeing the results of those who started with me one after another, far ahead, only myself sighed and achieved nothing.

Wisdom
Don't envy those talented people, they may be able to start one step faster than you, but the final success depends on continuous enthusiasm and never-ending hard work.

Tenacity is an essential quality for success
All people who achieve great things have one thing in common—tenacity.Some of them may not be highly educated, they may have other weaknesses and flaws, but they must all be tough people.Toil is not enough to discourage them, and difficulties are not enough to discourage them.No matter what setbacks they encounter, they will persist and endure.
