Life never takes anyone lightly

Chapter 16 One day you will become who you like (2)
If you see a young man carry out his plan with a firm attitude, without the slightest thought of "if", "or", "but" or "maybe", then such a young man will definitely resist all kinds of temptations, and he will certainly in the future. be successful.

Throughout the ages, anyone who has a clear goal and can follow the established procedures will be able to strengthen the courage and strength of his character, and this courage and strength are sufficient to support his success.

Everyone should strive for the freedom of ideals, because only by freely publicizing their ideals can they create grand and perfect achievements.If a person does not strive for ideal freedom and realizes the highest purpose of life as his top priority, no matter how dedicated and diligent he is, he will not achieve great success in his life.

Without the power to control the willpower, there is no persistent determination, and there is no possibility of invention and creativity.

There are many young people who are very enthusiastic about their careers at first, but they often give up their original careers overnight and pursue other careers.They often doubt whether they are in the right place; they often wonder how their talents can be put to the most value.Sometimes facing difficulties, they will feel discouraged, even depressed, or when they hear that someone has achieved a certain career, they start to blame themselves, why don't they also do the same career.

It can be said with certainty that a man will never be a successful man if he constantly abandons the goals he has always expected.A man's true temperament can be seen from what he does.Whenever a young man comes to me to discuss whether to change his occupation, I always feel sorry for him, and feel that his will has not yet been established, and his career is not in line with his nature. Otherwise, he is absolutely Not so.

To make your life special, to be different, is to do noble things.No matter how long it takes, no matter how many difficulties and twists we face, we must never give up the hope and ambition of success.

5. The job that suits you is the best
"Everyone has their strengths," Artmus Ward said. "Some people are good at one thing, some people are good at that. And there are some people who are good at just doing nothing and hanging around all day. .”

There was a time when I was convinced I could play a circus.So, I hitchhiked into a circus.I have a horse in front of me and two horses behind me when I perform.But after standing in that position the horses started kicking me, bouncing around, barking, all chaos.I ended up being kicked several times in the back and stomach.To make matters worse, I was kicked into the other horses. I was so hurt and scared that I couldn't help but scream like a wild man.Then I was rescued and was pulled up and carried back to the hotel.With a band around my head, I said to myself in a weak voice: "Boy, are you good at playing horses?"

The moral of the story is: Never do something you're not good at.If you do, you'll find yourself rolling in a mud wave.Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Your talents are your needs.Your reasonable destiny is revealed in your character.

If possible, choose a job that maximizes your past experience and hobbies.At that point, not only do you have an interesting job, but you make the most of your skills and business knowledge, which are real assets.

Follow your passion.You cannot fight your desires for long.

Parents, friends, or disasters sometimes stifle and dampen a yearning heart by arranging unpleasant events.But, like a volcano, the inner flame bursts out of the outer shell, allowing long-repressed talents to pour forth, erupting in speech, music, art, or any other favorite occupation.Note: Talent is not perfect enough to be flawless.

As Matthew Arnold said, it is better to be the Napoleon of shoeblacks and the Alexander of chimney sweeps than a stupid lawyer who knows nothing about the law.

It seems like half the world has jobs that don't match their interests.A waitress wants to be a teacher, a born teacher runs a shop, a kind farmer defies the law, and everyone suffers from an unfulfilling fate.Boys who should be mastering Greek and Latin in school spend their days in factories.And the thousands of kids who are doing endless homework and homework in college should be happy to be farmers or sailors.The artist who scribbles on the canvas is replaced by a man whose job is to paint fences.The clerk standing behind the counter has no interest in arithmetic, measurements, and dreams of other careers while neglecting his own work.A good shoemaker writes a few lines of verse in the village newspaper, and his friends call him a poet, until at last he even abandons shoemaking, which he is good at, to write poetry—albeit rudimentary and clumsy.Some of the other shoemakers go to Congress to serve in politics, and some politicians are knocking on shoemaking.

People are wondering what caused so many misplacements and vacancies.A child who likes to use tools with ingenuity since he was a child went to university in one go, and has since embarked on a mediocre road, engaged in one of the "three most honorable professions".While real surgeons spend their days wielding machetes and hatchets, butchers amputate limbs in hospitals.

A man's occupation affects his life more strongly than anything else.

A man doesn't feel like a real human being if he doesn't have a job.A person who has nothing to do is not a full-fledged person.He can't prove he's a human being by his work. 150 pounds of muscle and bone is not enough to make a real human being.Even a good brain is not a real person.Bones, muscles, and brain must know how to do a person's work. When they form a person, they must perfect their own thinking, plan their own career, perfect their character and take responsibility.

Studying hard and working hard are the first prerequisites for success.

Persistence and perseverance are the second premise.

In general, people who have these prerequisites, when guided by practical common sense, don't usually fail.Gladstone said that there are limits to what a person can do, both physically and mentally.

Don't set your eyes on the top, dare to accept the first decent job offered to you, and don't care too much about the gap between your ability and job tasks.If you show your ability and effectiveness in doing things at work, and you are fully qualified for that job, then a better job will be assigned to you soon.

Of course, you can't wait for a higher position or a better salary.It is necessary to expand existing positions and inject new ideas.Move faster, have more energy, think deeper, and behave more politely than your predecessors or subordinates.Research your job, devise new ways of running it, and have the ability to advise your boss.The art of work is not just to meet the job requirements and fill your vacancies, but to do better than expected and surprise your boss; of course, the reward will be a better job and a better salary.

When choosing a career, don't ask yourself how much money you can make or how famous you can get. Choose a career that will make you ambitious, develop with all your strength, balance all aspects, and achieve something in the future.Status, money and fame are not what you want, but ability is what you want.

If your profession is just a very ordinary one, then treat it with higher enthusiasm than others, enhance its value, bring wisdom, courage, energy, and be fruitful.Water it with creative openness, enterprise and hard work.Study the job, like your major, and learn all about it.

Collect all your talents, and all the great achievements in the world come from simple goals, from a soul that strives desperately.It is better to promote yourself in a job than to look for another job.

6. Ignite your inner work passion

To see how well a person does things, we only need to look at his spirit and attitude when he works.A man will never do great things if he works with a sense of being bound, that the work he is doing is all toil and no fun at all.

A person's attitude towards work is closely related to his own temperament and ability to do things.The work a person does is part of his life.And the career of a lifetime is the expression of his ambition and the ideal place.So, knowing a person's work is, in a way, knowing that person.

A man will never respect himself if he only despises his work and treats it with carelessness.If a person only thinks that his work is hard and boring, he will never do his work well, and the work will not be able to make the best use of it.

In today's society, many people do not respect their work, and do not regard their work as an element of career creation and a tool for personality development, but only as a provider of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and work is the price of life. What a mistaken notion it is to avoid toil!

Love is the only reason for marriage, and only love can resolve all kinds of difficulties and troubles in married life.The same goes for work.Only true love can solve most of the problems and difficulties in work, whether it is business or other work.

People often develop courage, perseverance and noble character in the process of overcoming difficulties.People who often complain about working hard and busy will never have real success in their lives.Complaining and prevarication are just confessions of cowardice.

You are not allowed under any circumstances to hate your own work, because hating your own work is the worst thing you can do.If circumstances compel you to do some tedious work, you should also try to find pleasure in it.You must know that all the things that should be done and must be done will always find the joy of doing things. This is the attitude we should have towards work.With this attitude, no matter what job you do, you can get great results.

If a person despises and loathes his work, he will fail.The magnet that guides successful people is not contempt and disgust for work, but sincerity, optimism and indomitable enthusiasm.

No matter how humble your work is, you should give it the spirit of an artist and treat it with [-]% enthusiasm.In this way, you can be freed from the mediocre and humble situation, and you will no longer have the feeling of toil and hard work from the bottom of your heart, and you will also be able to make your work a pleasure.Over time, the distaste for the job will naturally dissipate.

When a person is working, if he can give full play to his strengths with unceasing spirit and fiery enthusiasm, then no matter what kind of work he does, he will not feel tired.If we can do the most ordinary work with full enthusiasm, we can also become the most exquisite workers; if we do the most noble work with an indifferent attitude, we are just a mediocre craftsman.Therefore, there are opportunities to develop talents and improve status in all walks of life.In the whole society, there is really no job that can be despised at will.

A man's life-work is a statue made by his own hands, whether beautiful or ugly, lovely or loathsome, all are made by his own hands.And every action of a person, whether it is writing a letter, selling a product, or talking or thinking, all explains the beauty or ugliness, loveliness or hatefulness of the statue.

No matter what happens, you should do your best. The presence or absence of this spirit can determine a person's future career success or failure.If a person comprehends the secret of eliminating the hard work in work by working hard, then he also masters the basic principles of success.Even in the most mediocre occupations, authority and wealth can be increased by active and hard work everywhere.

Of course, one should not make one's life too rigid, one should not be too mechanical in doing things, one should make one's life artistic, so that one can feel interest in one's work and will naturally try one's best to work.

Everyone should have this ambition: to do anything, no matter what difficulties you encounter, always try your best to achieve perfection.At work, we must try our best to show our strengths and develop our potential, and we must not regard our work as humble and despise ourselves.

7. Focus on the key points in everything, don't get entangled in the minutiae
Breaking through from key issues is one of the thinking habits of those who achieve great things, because thinking without key points means that there is no main goal.

Carlson was a man of focused habits of mind.In 1968, he joined Windray Sol Travel Company to do market research work. Three years later, the Nordic Airlines Federation bought the company. Carlson successively served as the director of market research department and then the manager of the company department.Because of his familiarity with the business and his ability to solve the main problems in the operation, the travel agency developed into Sweden's first-class travel company.

Carlson's management ability has been highly valued by the Nordic Airlines Federation, and they decided to further entrust Carlson with important tasks.

The Swedish domestic civil aviation company, a subsidiary of Airlink, purchased a batch of jet airliners. Due to poor management, it suffered losses year after year, and in the end it couldn't even pay back the purchase price.

In 1978, Carlson was transferred to the company's general manager.Carlson, who took up the new position, gave full play to his ability to focus on thinking. Soon after he took office, he grasped the crux of the company's operations: the unreasonable charging standards set by domestic civil aviation companies, the fares in the morning and evening peak hours and the idle time at noon The fare is the same.Carlson cut the price of midday flights by more than half to attract skiers and mountaineering campers to Sweden's Lake District and mountains.As soon as this move came out, it quickly attracted a large number of tourists, and the passenger capacity soared.In the first year after Carlson was in charge, domestic civil aviation companies turned around and made huge profits.

Carlson believes that if the use of those large and useless aircraft is stopped, the company's passenger traffic will have further growth.General passengers hope to take a direct flight, but the huge "Airbus" cannot satisfy their desire.Even though DC-9s have fewer seats, they can make money flying nonstop from Scandinavian cities to London or Paris.But the original arrangement is that the DC-9 airliner will usually be grounded when it arrives at the Copenhagen Passenger Terminal, and passengers have to transfer to a giant "Airbus".Carlson withdrew these "Airbuses" from the route and used them only for charter, opening up direct routes such as Oslo to Paris.

At the same time, another move by Carlson also fully demonstrated his key thinking ability, which is "renovating old machines".

Those new planes on the market at that time did not arouse Carlson's interest. He urged the airliner manufacturer to reform the layout of the cabin, free up space to widen the aisle, so that passengers can carry more small luggage.SAS spent $1500 million (about 9% of what it would cost to buy a new DC-65) to give the plane a facelift, changing the interior and putting the flight attendants in stylish new clothes.The company's DE-9 passenger aircraft has been in use until 1990.Relying on those new-looking DE-9 airliners to attract more and more passengers, of course, a lot of money will follow.

Carlson is a great example of focused thinking.When successful people encounter important things, they will definitely think carefully: Where should we focus our energy?How can we keep our personality, energy and physical strength from being damaged, and get the greatest benefit?
Those who achieve have developed a habit of identifying and trying to control those important factors that most affect their work.In this way, they may work more easily and happily than ordinary people.Since they have learned the secret of extracting the important facts from the unimportant ones, they have found a proper fulcrum for their levers, and with a flick of their little finger they can move Heavy work that cannot be moved even with all the strength in the body.
