Life never takes anyone lightly

Chapter 5 Don't be afraid of being blocked by tens of thousands of people, only afraid of surrendering yourself (4)
As soon as the young eagles are able to take off, the eagle drives them out of the nest to practice flying. With this kind of training, they can chase their prey bravely and swiftly and become the king of birds.A person who suffers setbacks in childhood will develop very well when he grows up, while a person who is going smoothly will not have great prospects.The stronger the diamond, the more dazzling the brilliance, but to show its brilliance, it needs external polishing. Poverty and suffering can inspire people to forge ahead, and can also strengthen people's thinking.

Without external stimulation, the power in the human body will never be exerted, just as flint will not emit fire without friction.

Cervantes wrote "Don Quixote" in prison. At that time, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford the manuscript paper, so he could only write it with a small piece of leather.Someone persuaded a rich man to support him. The rich man said: "God will not let me help him, because his poverty will make the world rich." "Robinson Crusoe", "Pilgrim's Progress", "World History" ...these works were all written by the authors in prison.Adversity can awaken the dormant fire in the heart of a noble man.

Martin Luther translated the Bible into German while he was imprisoned in Wartburg; Dante was sentenced to death and worked tirelessly during his 20 years in exile; After being tortured in a dark prison, he finally became the prime minister of Egypt.

Many of the most beautiful poems, wisest proverbs, and most melodious music in the world are contributed by the Jews who have suffered from alien oppression, and it is the constant oppression that makes them prosper.They regard hardship as the seed of happiness, just as plants grow better because the cold of winter kills the pests.

The musician Beethoven created great movements when he was deaf in both ears and was extremely poor; Schiller was sick for 15 years, but he wrote the best work; paradise".Therefore, for greater achievement and happiness, Bunyan said: "If possible, I would like suffering to befall me."

A truly brave person, the more he is in adversity, the more courageous he is to move forward.They are not timid or flinching, they are strutting, strong-willed, and dare to challenge any difficulty; they despise bad luck, laugh at setbacks, and poverty cannot crush him, but strengthens his will, character, strength and determination, making them the most talented people. people.

For these people, fate cannot stop their lives.

Therefore, suffering and setbacks are our benefactors, please be grateful for them, and strive for everything you want by yourself.

9. Before departure, please pack your bags

To make a career, you must first have a capital. Where is your capital?It is within yourself.

Blueprints must be drawn before building a house, road construction materials cannot be spread randomly on the ground, and carving is definitely not random carving on stones.In the same way, you have to make plans and preparations before doing anything. If you want to avoid complexity and achieve success in a simple way, or want to achieve success without hard work, such things have never happened since ancient times.

Since ancient times, there have been few such examples: people who did not lay a solid foundation when they were young have achieved great careers later.The reason why those outstanding people who achieve success can reap the happy fruits of a lifetime in their later years is mostly because they sow the seeds of success when they were young, just like people who travel far away have to prepare their bags first.

Many young people have the mentality of eager for quick success, which is very bad.In fact, we should not be eager for success in anything, but should first reserve knowledge and experience in our brains little by little to accumulate capital for future success.You know, what is needed in today's society is well-educated, reliable and well-trained people.Hamilton once said: "What this era needs is well-trained people." Indeed, in the past, the United States needed a large number of various workers. A job, but not the same today as it used to be.To be honest, if I am a young man who has just stepped into the society, I really dare not accept jobs that I have no experience and are not sure about.

Maybe you can't go to a specialized school or a college to study because of your poor family, but you can always spare some time to force yourself to learn some knowledge.If you can squeeze out an hour every day to study a subject, the accumulated knowledge in the long run must be very impressive.This kind of practice and habit is much better than having no fixed mind and flipping through useless books casually.

No matter where, if you find a young person who pays attention to enriching his life, improving his knowledge, and never wastes his free time; not only that, but he often pays attention to the information related to his career, there is always a If he has an optimistic and positive attitude, is very quick in doing things, and starts well and ends well, then it can be concluded that his future must be very bright.

But we also often see such examples: Some young people who are healthy, well-educated and have experience in dealing with affairs can make a career in theory, but they live a mediocre life, and even in career and life. Flat out.This is because they refused to seek knowledge when they were young, and when they had to deal with various difficulties, they were unable to cope and had to regret it!

I often receive letters from middle-aged people who regret that they missed the opportunity to study when they were young.Some said that due to lack of knowledge, some good job opportunities were missed; others said that although they have accumulated a lot of wealth, they cannot achieve greater achievements due to lack of knowledge.Some people with experience, capital and talent are unable to do the job they want or complete the career they want because they lack sufficient training in learning. How sad it is!
The most pitiful people are those who are ignorant and unable to make up for their knowledge when they get old. They also don't have better economic conditions, and they can't even meet the living standards of ordinary people. They can't talk about any ambitions. And lack of self-confidence, such a life is really meaningless!
We must understand that "when the book is in use, we will hate less". The experience and knowledge we have worked hard to accumulate are often our most powerful supporters in critical junctures.For example, an architect usually uses only a little of his knowledge, which is enough to complete the work at hand perfectly, but in an urgent and important situation, he will use all his skills, knowledge and experience.In that case, all the "capital" he has accumulated in the past will be revealed.Another example is a businessman, he does not need to show his talents in normal times, but he cannot go on like this forever if he wants to become an outstanding businessman. Therefore, he must make better preparations and train higher skills in order to expand his business, or Cope with the recessionary years.In the same way, when a young person first enters the society, he must be well prepared in terms of knowledge and talent. Maybe a little knowledge at the beginning of his career is enough to cope with the job at that time, but when his career develops, all Taking all knowledge to use, sometimes it seems not enough.

A person's accumulated knowledge and experience are the most important capital for his success.To accumulate these capitals, you have to concentrate, relentlessly, and do it over the years.Once these powers can be saved, they are invaluable treasures. Therefore, everyone should cherish the time and work hard while they are young, otherwise his future "harvests" will be limited.

How much power is stored in your body can be seen from your character and work efficiency, and it can also be seen from the evaluation of you by people around you.However, if you accumulate these strengths, will you be able to succeed?

Mr. Michael Angelo went to visit one of his friend Laifer, a painter, and just as Laifer was out, Mr. Angelo wrote three big characters "great" on the canvas to express his admiration and encouragement for his friend's work.When Laifel saw these words after returning home, he was very excited, and encouraged himself to work harder in his heart. I also hope that you will keep the three words "great" in mind. It is best to write it out and paste it in your office or bedroom, and often recite silently. huge.

Not making progress in business is your biggest obstacle to success.When you first leave school, you may have great hopes in your heart that you will go all out to achieve a career; or that you plan to study hard in order to improve your knowledge; or that you are ready to have an enjoyable social life. ; Or organize a warm and comfortable small family.But when you really step into the society and start working, all kinds of temptations from the outside world start to hit you. They make you unable to study with peace of mind, unable to be satisfied with your current job, and even make you sink and degenerate.Once you lose interest in career and work itself, then your life will come to an end, and all the original joy, happiness, and comfort in life will leave you.Unless you can repent and turn over a new leaf, otherwise, although you grow older, your talents will deteriorate day by day, and the years to come can only be spent in failure and misery.

Make up your mind now!Act now!No matter what your current situation is, you must remember three words: "To make progress"!Don't waste a day, an hour, or even a quarter of an hour on meaningless things, and make progress every moment in knowledge, experience, and thinking.If you can really do this, then even if you encounter financial failures and setbacks at work, you must still have the strength to make a comeback.A person with real talents does not need to worry about bad luck and obstacles. Even if you don't have a lot of wealth, others will still value you and respect you.And the huge intangible wealth you have is your luggage before departure, which is beyond the reach of others.
