Chapter 13 The Greatest Discovery 1
Everyone has deep potential, and everyone has a sleeping giant in their hearts.When we discover and awaken the inner giant, he lifts us up high; when we immerse ourselves in our own ingenuity and peerless gifts, the giant will leave us, and we can only watch others become more and more powerful. higher.

A mirror that reflects your face also reflects your heart

If you do not know yourself, you cannot control yourself.A mirror can be used to look at one's face, but the only thing that can be used to observe one's own mind is wise self-reflection.When you stop worrying about your external image, try to fix and improve your inner image.To do things wisely, estimate your intelligence accurately, judge how you will meet challenges, and measure your depth.

"Who am I?" When people stand in front of the mirror and see themselves in various postures and expressions, can they correctly interpret "self"?I am afraid that very few people have thought about this issue.With the development of science and technology, people are becoming more and more familiar with the unknown world, but they start to run counter to themselves. This is a strange phenomenon.When we gradually do not understand ourselves, what awaits us is confusion and failure.

Life must begin with knowing yourself, this is the first golden rule of success.Only by knowing yourself correctly can you plan your life correctly.Although knowing oneself objectively is a difficult process, a person who wants to do a serious business must be clear about his own personality, wisdom and emotional appeals, so that he can choose a lifestyle that suits him according to external conditions.

Maybe you don't have the talent in logical thinking, nor the ability to master various languages, but you have special skills in dealing with affairs, you can know people well, solve problems, and have superb organizational skills; maybe you are good at physics and You have more than enough heart but not enough energy in chemistry, but you are fond of imagination, good at writing novels, paintings, and poems; maybe your ability to distinguish rhythm is not good, but you have a pair of extremely dexterous hands, and you can weave all kinds of decorations... On the premise of recognizing your own strengths, if you can maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses, look for your goals, and seize the time to do a job or a study hard and earnestly, over time, fruitful results will come in your life inadvertently.

Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved success in their careers have a common characteristic, that is, to do what is most suitable for them according to their own abilities.

When the great inventor Edison was studying at school, the teacher thought he was a stupid child and often blamed him; Edison's mother discovered his son's talent for exploring and cultivated him carefully, and he finally became the king of invention.The suspense mystery novelist Conan Doyle was not famous when he was a doctor, but became famous all over the world with "Sherlock Holmes".

Modern talent science has found that people have at least 146 talents, while the modern examination system can only find 41 kinds, which shows that most of people's talents have yet to be developed and utilized.In fact, human potential is like oil in the ground, but it is hidden deep in our minds and has not been developed.The success of successful people is usually due to their full understanding of their strengths and positioning of life according to their strengths.Professor Perne, a teacher at Einstein University, once said to him seriously: "You don't lack enthusiasm and kindness in your work, but you lack ability. Why don't you study medicine, law or philosophy but study physics?" ?” Fortunately, Einstein knew that he had enough talent in theoretical physics and did not listen to the professor. Otherwise, the theory of relativity would have been born decades later.

Some people who have encountered failure blindly pursue things that are not suitable for them based on their own temporary interests and ideas.For example, Goethe once failed to fully understand himself, set up the wrong ambition to be a painter, and wasted more than ten years in vain, for which he felt very regretful.

People should consciously understand their strengths and talents, cultivate and develop their strengths.If all people knew what they were good at, then everyone could excel at something.However, most people fail to discover their intelligence and end up accomplishing nothing in many things.
