Let others feel that you are always improving

While doing everything, you should leave the other party with an impression that you are making progress, so that everyone who has come into contact with you will think that you are a person who is constantly pursuing progress, and you will also drive the people around you. All move forward together.

- "The Lost Classic of Getting Rich"

The world's greatest music masters have never stopped their pursuit of art. In order to maintain and improve their artistic standards, they spend a lot of time practicing every day.A classical musician said frankly: "If you don't practice for one day, you know it; if you don't practice for two days, your wife knows it; if you don't practice for three days, the audience knows it."

Everyone should take "a little progress every day" as an admonition to themselves.If a person wants to achieve great achievements, he must make progress every day, because any successful business is the accumulation of small achievements.Wallace said: "Through instinct, human beings know the importance of 'increase' to life. Therefore, we have never stopped pursuing 'progress' in our lives." The belief of "making progress every day" is rooted in In the mind, and from this belief draw the inspiration of progress, let it run through the action, and so on, one can impress others with continuous improvement, and oneself will become more positive.

A company in New York was taken over by a French company.On the day the merger contract was signed, the company's new president announced: "We will not lay off employees at will, but if your French is too poor to communicate with other employees, then we have to ask you to leave. This weekend we will conduct a French exam, and only those who pass the exam can continue to work here."

After the meeting, almost all the employees flocked to the library to study French.Only one went straight home as usual, and colleagues thought he might be ready to give up the job.But to everyone's surprise, after the test results came out, this person who was definitely hopeless in everyone's eyes got the highest score.

It turned out that since this employee came to this company, he has realized that he has many shortcomings.Since then, he has consciously started to reserve his own abilities.Although he is busy with work, he insists on learning something every day.During his work in the sales department, he had contact with some French customers, but since he could not speak French, he had to ask the company’s translators for help every time he exchanged emails and contract texts with customers. Your own work will be forced to stop.To this end, he began to teach himself French.At the same time, in order to introduce the technical characteristics of the company's products in more detail when communicating with customers, he also specially learns relevant technical knowledge from colleagues in the technical department and product development department.

The purpose of his continuous learning is only to enrich and improve himself, but he did not expect that all the knowledge and abilities he had accumulated would play a role at critical moments.Of course, these improvements require effort and time. How did he resolve the contradiction between study and work?
To this, he answered very easily: "As long as I remember 10 French words every day, I will have more than 3600 words in a year. Similarly, as long as I learn one small technical problem every day, it won't take long. I can master a lot of technology.”

It is indeed not difficult to memorize 10 words every day, but it is a test of perseverance and patience. This employee is respectable, and every energy he expends has finally been rewarded.Success is to do simple things repeatedly, and success is to make a little progress every day.If a person makes even 1% progress every day, he will become stronger and stronger over time.

The so-called "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", any quantitative change will cause a qualitative change if it accumulates to a certain extent.No matter what you do, you must firmly believe that you are a person who is constantly improving, and pass this signal to others through actions. In this way, you can get the motivation to persevere from the admiration of others, and Infect those around you with the power of "progressiveness", thereby driving others to pursue progress together.

To maintain a sense of "progress," always think that you are getting richer and richer, and that your actions to become rich are benefiting others and helping others to become richer.In the era of knowledge fission and space-time compression, if you do not make any progress compared with yesterday, you may be ruthlessly abandoned by the fast-paced era.
