Life never takes anyone lightly

Chapter 12 Don't give up, don't give up, the world is yours (3)
The struggle in a desperate place is often the best way to stimulate the inner strength latent in the human body; without this struggle, people may never discover their true strength.

If Lincoln had grown up on a manor and gone to college, he might never have become President of the United States, and he would never have become a great man in history.Because if a person is in a life of ease and comfort, he doesn't need much effort, no personal struggle.Lincoln was so great precisely because he struggled with hardship throughout his life.

In today's world, how many people attribute their achievements to obstacles and defects.Without the stimulation of obstacles and defects, they may only develop 25% of their talents, but once stimulated, they will develop the other 75% of their talents.

When great pressure, extraordinary changes and great responsibilities are on a person, all kinds of abilities hidden in the deepest part of his life will suddenly emerge, and he will be able to persevere in doing all kinds of great things that were unimaginable before.

History is filled with countless examples of how, in order to remedy physical defects, many people have developed valuable characters and made great achievements.Some women with very ordinary or even ugly looks can often make unremitting efforts in their studies and careers, and finally achieve unexpected careers. These are enough to be regarded as a remedy for their looks.

It is said that there was an Englishman who was born without hands and feet, but was able to act like an ordinary person.Driven by curiosity, a man specially visited him to see how he moved and how he ate.Unexpectedly, the Englishman's wise thoughts and touching speeches surprised the guest so much that he completely forgot that he was a disabled person.

Because not everyone is stimulated by special defects and difficulties, there are not many people in the world who can really discover their "self" and bring out their best and highest energy.Many people never even dreamed that there is a huge amount of energy in their bodies, and many people didn't even realize it until they died.

9. Be brave in innovation and dare to do what others do not do
People all over the world admire the kind of people who have the courage to raise their heads in front of everyone, and they all admire the kind of people who can stride forward, dare to innovate, and are good at expressing themselves.Therefore, everyone should make a way out for themselves and develop their talents, otherwise they will never be famous in the world.

Only amazing creations attract the attention of others.

No matter what kind of occupation you are in, don't imitate or follow others at will.Don't do what others have done, do something new and unique.Let others admit that the career you have done is an unprecedented creation.

You should resolve that no matter how big or small your achievements in the world are, whatever you achieve must be groundbreaking.Don't be afraid to reveal your true colors in your own special, brave ways.

Know that creation is power and life, and imitation is death.

Those who can prolong their lives are by no means imitating, but creating; not following, but leading.You should aspire to be a person with ideas, a thoughtful person, a person who is always seeking improvement, and a creative person. Such people have their status everywhere in society.

The world is full of followers and imitators. They like to follow the rules, stick to the rules, and like to follow in the footsteps of others.But what society really admires are those who are creative and can make their own way.For example, lawyers use outstanding insights to handle lawsuits; teachers use new methods to educate students; pastors can elucidate their insights from God's revelation to preach to believers.These practices are creative practices.

Work hard to create, be a newcomer of an era, and don't be afraid to become a "founder".It would be foolish to imitate one's parents, relatives and friends, because nature endows everyone and everything with a special quality.Everyone should naturally do a creative work. If you copy others and do the work that others have done, you will abandon your own natural qualities and deviate from your sacred duty.

No one who blindly imitates others can achieve great things.Plagiarism cannot achieve success, and neither can imitation. The only thing that can make people successful is creation.The more people imitate others, the more they will fail.Because ability is latent in the individual's body, the focus is on the exertion of one's own potential. Only by exerting one's potential can a great cause be achieved.

There is room for improvement in all kinds of occupations and businesses in the world.Anyone with creative ideas will open up a new path, will be welcomed by people, and will be useful.Those who have creative minds can formulate new plans, use new methods, and finally achieve amazing results.

Creativity makes its own way, and those who do things in the same way as others, despite their great talents, are not always noticed by the public.But if he makes his own way, using new and progressive methods, original and unique, he can attract a lot of attention.Some people came to agree with him, some people came to praise him, and invisibly made mobile advertisements for him, making his reputation spread far and wide.

Of course, novel practices and ideas do not necessarily lead to success; only effective and practical creation can be successful.There are countless people all over the world who are constantly on the lookout for new ideas, new methods, and who are not known for doing so because their novelties are impractical or ineffective.

The world needs people who can do things in new and effective ways.If individuals can contribute novel and valuable things to the world, people will naturally receive them.

New creation also needs a strong personality, only a person with a strong personality has the courage to realize his ideals and achieve his creation.If a method of doing things is original and unique, and at the same time more efficient, it will naturally be recognized by others.

No matter what a young person does, he must have a creative spirit, and he must be determined to be original when he starts to do something, and he can stamp his own unique mark and print a trademark of excellent quality.Achieving a great cause does not require a large amount of capital, let alone relying on advertising. The capital for starting a business is on your own.

10. Make a decisive decision and act when it is time to act

Now, the most popular in society are those who have great creativity and extraordinary management ability.Some people often only know how to follow other people's orders step by step, to do some things that have been arranged, and everything needs to be instructed in detail.Only those who have ideas, originality, are willing to study problems, and are good at management are the hope of mankind, and it is these people who act as the pioneers of mankind and promote the progress of mankind.

A person with firm judgment has much more development opportunities than those who are hesitant and ambiguous.So, get rid of the bad habit of hesitation and deliberation!This habit will rob you of all your ideas and waste all your energy needlessly.

But it is also one of the dreadful habits that young people are most likely to pick up.Sometimes things have clearly been planned in detail, thought through, and finalized, but some people are still afraid of wolves and tigers, dare not act, think about things, and cannot make a decision.In the end, there are more and more thoughts in my mind, and I have less and less confidence in myself.Eventually the energy dissipates and you sink into a situation of complete failure.

A young man who is eager to succeed must have a firm will, and he must not be infected with the bad habits of indecision and hesitation.Before working, you must make sure that you have made up your mind. Even if you encounter any difficulties and resistance, even if you make some mistakes, don't have doubts and be ready to leave.When we deal with things, we should analyze and think carefully in advance, make a correct judgment on the thing itself and the environment, and then make a decision; once the decision is made, we can no longer have any doubts or concerns about the matter and the decision, and ignore it. Others make irresponsible remarks, as long as you go all out to do it.

In the process of doing things, there will inevitably be some mistakes, but we should not be discouraged because of this. We should take difficulties as lessons and setbacks as experience, and be confident that the future will be smoother, so that the hope of success will be greater.After making a decision, if you still have doubts and have to think over and over again, it is tantamount to pushing yourself into a hopeless swamp, and you have to end your life in pain and annoyance.

Some people can't succeed in the end, not because they lack the ability to do a career, but because their decision-making ability is too poor.They seem to be incapable of self-reliance and must depend on others.Even if you encounter a little trivial matter, you have to run around to ask others for their opinions, but you have no clue in your mind, and you are always concerned about it, but you have no final opinion.Therefore, the more you discuss with others, the more you can't make up your mind, and finally you don't know what to do.

People who lack judgment often have difficulty deciding to start doing something, and even if they decide to start doing it, it is anticlimactic.Most of their energy and time in life are spent in hesitation and hesitation. Even if such people have all other conditions for success, they will never really succeed.

Successful people must act decisively, seize the opportunity, and never hesitate when it is time to make a move.Once they have considered things clearly and made careful plans, they no longer hesitate or doubt, but act bravely and decisively immediately.Therefore, they are often able to do everything with ease and succeed in no time.

There is a powerful machine in the shipyard, which can easily press all scraps of copper and iron into strong steel plates.People who are good at doing things are like this machine. They are extremely agile in doing things. As long as they are determined to do it, any complicated and difficult problems will be solved in their hands.

If a person has a clear goal and has a well-thought-out plan, he will never discuss his plan repeatedly with others, unless he meets someone who is superior to him in knowledge, ability and other aspects.Before making a decision, he will carefully investigate, then formulate a plan, and take action; this is like a general fighting at the front must first carefully study the terrain, strategy, and then draw up a battle plan before starting to attack.

A person with a clear mind and strong judgment must have his own firm opinions. They will never be confused, let alone opportunistic. Let your career go to waste.As long as a decision is made, they must go forward to implement it.

General Kitchener of the United Kingdom is a good example.This taciturn and serious soldier is as mighty as a lion, and he is sure to win every battle. Once he has made a plan and determined the battle plan, he will never discuss or consult with others half-heartedly.When General Kitchener set out with his garrison in the famous South African battle, no one but he and his chief of staff knew where they were going.He ordered only a train, a bodyguard, and a number of soldiers to be prepared.Kitchener kept his head down and didn't even send a telegram to all the places along the route.One morning after the war began, he suddenly appeared in a hotel in Cabo City at 6 o'clock in the morning. He opened the guest list of the hotel and found the names of several officers who were supposed to be on the night shift.He walked into the room of the officers who violated military discipline and handed them a note without saying a word, on which was his order: "At 10 o'clock this morning, go to the front by special car; at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, return to London by boat." Kitchener ignored the officers' explanations and excuses, let alone listened to their begging for mercy, and issued a warning to all the officers with just a small note to make an example.

General Kitchener has an extremely firm will and an unusual calmness. He is confident in everything he does, and he can do everything calmly and in a planned way, so that everything will be successful immediately.

This famous general who gallops on the battlefield and has won many battles is sincere and friendly. He is very confident and dedicated in doing things, full of originality and judgment.He is alert and responsive, and he can firmly grasp every opportunity and make full use of it.He is the best example of someone who aspires to be successful.

In the 1st century BC, after the Roman Caesar led the army to England, he made up his mind never to retreat.In order to let the soldiers know his determination, he burned all the ships carrying them in front of the soldiers.

Many young people often leave a retreat for themselves when they start to do things, as a retreat when encountering difficulties.How can such a great cause be achieved?

Only an army that is in a desperate situation can win a decisive battle.Similarly, no matter what a person does, he must hold the determination that there is no way out, go forward bravely, and never retreat when encountering any difficulties and obstacles.If you are not determined and always ready to retreat in the face of difficulties, you will never succeed.

Once you have made up your mind, do your best to move forward without leaving behind, then even if you encounter thousands of difficulties, you will not back down.If you have the determination to never give up until you reach your goal, you will not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, strive for victory, and drive away all the demons such as hesitation and timidity.With firm resolve, the enemy of success has nowhere to hide.

Only when a person has determination can he overcome all kinds of difficulties and win victories, and only in this way can he be admired by people.Therefore, those who are determined must be the ultimate winners.Only determination can enhance confidence and give full play to one's talents, so as to make great achievements in career.

For many people, the chronic disease of indecision has become a terminal disease. No matter what these people do, they always leave a retreat, and they never have the courage to sink the boat.They do not understand that the concentration of all one's thoughts on the goal can produce a strong self-confidence, which can break the bad habit of indecision, and bind all the enemies of success such as conformity and scrambling.

11. If you are serious, you will win
Because of the habit of despising work, sloppy habits, and a perfunctory attitude towards the work at hand, countless people end up at the bottom of society all their lives, poor, depressed, and unable to get ahead all their lives.

On a majestic building of a large institution there is a moving motto: "Here, everything must be taken seriously."

"Pursue seriousness" is worthy of being the motto of each of us in life.

How much would the welfare of mankind be improved if every man could adopt this maxim, live it up, resolve to do his best in everything he does, to achieve the best possible result.

In the history of mankind, there are countless terrible tragedies caused by negligence, fear of difficulties, perfunctory, laziness, and recklessness.

Not long ago, in Austin, Pennsylvania, because of the poor quality of the embankment project, the workers did not build the stone foundation according to the design. As a result, the embankment burst, the whole town was submerged, and countless people died.

Tragedy caused by work negligence like this may happen at any time in our vast land.No matter where, people make mistakes of negligence, perfunctory, and lazy.

If everyone can do things with conscience, and not be afraid of difficulties, and not give up halfway, not only can reduce a lot of disasters, but also can make everyone have a noble personality.

Once people have developed the bad habit of perfunctory, they will often act dishonestly.Thus men must at last despise their work, and thus their own character.A rough job makes a rough life.Work is a part of people's life. Doing poor work will not only reduce the efficiency of work, but also make people lose their ability to do things.Therefore, rough work is really an enemy that destroys ideals, degrades life, and hinders progress.

The only way to achieve success is to do things with the determination that they must be done, with the attitude of striving for perfection.The people in the world who create new ideals and standards for mankind, carry the banner of progress, and create happiness for mankind are those with such qualities.

No matter what they do, if they are only satisfied with being "okay" or stop abruptly halfway through, then they will definitely not succeed.
