Be a Man and Do Things Pillow Book

Chapter 15 Be a person with a good attitude (2)
He began hiking, visiting the White House and museums, and climbing the Washington Monument.Although he didn\'t see many places he wanted to see, he swam to his heart\'s content wherever he went.

After returning to Denmark, he said that the most unforgettable memory of his trip to the United States was to visit Washington DC on foot.Five days later, the Washington Police Department found his purse and passport and mailed them to him.

Many people get pessimistic and disappointed when they are in trouble, and they put a lot of pressure on themselves.In fact, you should tell yourself that adversity is the beginning of another kind of hope, and it often heralds good luck tomorrow.Therefore, you should take the initiative to decompress yourself.

As long as you relax yourself and tell yourself that hope is omnipresent, even the greatest difficulties will become small.At this time, the predicament is no longer an obstacle, but another hope of success.

There are many obstacles or afflictions in life, and in all afflictions there are hidden seeds of growth and development.But there are often only a few people who can discover this kind of seed and cultivate it well.What kind of people are these people?
The first is the person who is determined to overcome suffering.Without this kind of determination, no matter how you say \"suffering is opportunity\", it will only become a tragedy that ends in another kind of suffering.

The second is someone who can see that suffering is an opportunity.Without this thought, suffering begets more suffering.

We should remember that however unfavorable conditions may be turned into favorable conditions if we handle them rightly.

In the euphoric state, most people are not self-reflective, nor are they self-motivated.On the contrary, in the face of distress or setbacks, they often reflect on themselves, so they have the opportunity to obtain real happiness and joy.

So where does the difference come from, turning pain into opportunity, or panic?It is determined by determination and attitude!
The courage to break the boat is indispensable.

Only by cutting off all possible paths for you can you have no worries, no worries, and single-minded pursuit of success.

Before Caesar came to power, he was an excellent military general.Once, he was ordered to lead the fleet to conquer the British Isles.

Before he inspected the fleet and set off, he discovered a serious problem.The number of troops accompanying the expedition was pitifully small, and their armaments were in dilapidated condition. Using such an army to try to conquer the brave and skilled Glusaxons was tantamount to striking a stone with a pebble.

But Caesar decided to set off at the moment, sailing to the British Isles.After the fleet arrived at the destination, Caesar waited for all the soldiers to disembark, and immediately ordered his cronies to burn all the warships with fire.

At the same time, he summoned all the soldiers to speak and told them clearly: the battleship has been burned, so everyone has only two choices.One is to fight reluctantly. If you can\'t beat the brave enemy and have no way to retreat, you have to be driven into the sea to feed the fish.The other way is, regardless of the lack of military strength, weapons, and supplies, go forward bravely and capture the island, and everyone will have a chance to survive.

All the soldiers held on to their lifelong determination and finally conquered the powerful enemy, and because of this successful battle, Caesar laid the foundation for future power.

There are similar stories about Caesar\'s leadership wisdom in ancient China. \"Break the boat\" is indeed one of the most motivating ways.

Most successful people are successful because they are able to stay focused on what they are trying to achieve.In order to achieve their goals, they can give up some things that are not related to the road to success, and only focus on their goals.

Such a strong will to succeed seems to be difficult for ordinary people to possess.Therefore, we might as well learn from Julius Caesar\'s way of burning warships to cut off the way back, to motivate ourselves to go all out.

You can put aside your chaotic thoughts for a while, and meditate on what things are stumbling blocks to success.

When you see all the things that hinder your success, such as procrastination, laziness, negative consciousness...etc., then you must have a firm determination to remove all obstacles first, and then cut off all your retreats. Only in this way can we ensure that the desire to pursue success is as urgent and strong as survival, and this instinct will lead you to success.

If you know that you have no way out, no matter how cowardly you are, you can immediately become the most heroic warrior, naturally puff up your chest, face any challenge, and you will surely win.

There must be a reason to persist.

As long as you persist in everything, the chances of success will be greater.

A poor kid came into a bookstore and asked if there were any geography books in the store.

\"There are many.\" The clerk replied.

\"How much is a copy?\"

\"One copy for 1 yuan.\"

\"I didn\'t expect it to be so expensive.\"

The child turned and walked out, the store doors were opened, but he closed the door again, walked back, and said, \"I only have 6 cents, give me a copy first, and I will send the rest of the money in two days, okay?\" ?\"

The clerk declined his request.

The child went to the second bookstore and was also rejected.

He went to three other bookstores and was rejected, but he was still not discouraged.

He walked into the sixth bookstore and walked up to the clerk like an adult, \"I want a geography book, but I only have 6 cents.\"

\"Do you really want this book?\" the clerk asked him.

\"Yes, sir. Very much.\"

\"why?\"

\"For study. I can\'t go to school, but I study at home when I have time. All the boys have geography books, and if I didn\'t they would pass me. Besides my father was a sailor, and he I would like to know more about the places I often go to.”

\"Where is your father now?\"

\"He\'s dead,\" replied the child softly.After a while he went on to say: \"In the future, I also want to be a sailor like my father.\"

The clerk looked at him and said, \"Okay, let me tell you, either I will sell you a new book and give it to me when you have money; or I will sell you an old book for only 5 cents.\"

\"Will old books have fewer pages?\"

\"Of course it\'s a lot of pages.\"

\"Then it\'s okay to buy an old one. I use the extra 1 cents to buy other books. This is the sixth bookstore I go to. Thank you for saving me from going to other bookstores to buy.\"

After the child bought the book, the clerk gave him a beautiful new pencil and some clean white paper.

Life is like nature, nothing is set in stone.There is spring, there is autumn, there is heat, and there is winter.Neither good luck nor bad luck lasts long.Always believe in one thing: everything will change.No matter how traumatized you are, how heavy your heart is, whether you are poor or no one understands, you must persevere.The sun will rise when it sets, and the days of misfortune will come to an end. It has always been like this, and it will always be like this.When many people fail frequently, those who have the belief of victory succeed, and they should succeed.People who never give up always succeed.For them, success is as sure as the sun must come out tomorrow morning!
The person who really wins is the person who can persist until the last second, because it is impossible to tell the real winner until the last moment.One failure does not mean permanent failure. If you regard one failure as the final failure and lose the will to fight, then you are the one who is defeated.The biggest enemy of a person is often himself. Only those who persevere to the end have a chance of success.

Attitude can determine everything.

Milu has a saying: Attitude determines everything.

In fact, we often see the unexpected results caused by the ups and downs of athletes\' mentality on the field.Mentality controls our views on people, things and the environment, and this view determines our attitude towards people and things.

Once upon a time there was a wise old man who would sit on a chair outside a gas station and greet people who drove through town every day.

On this day, his granddaughter was by his side, slowly spending time with him.They sat there watching people go by, and a tall man who looked like a tourist saw that they knew everyone in town, so he asked them to find a place to stay.

The stranger came up and said, \"What kind of town is this?\"

The old man turned around slowly and replied, \"What kind of town are you from?\"

Tourist said: \"In my old place, everyone was very critical. Neighbors gossip about other people, it\'s a bad place to live in anyway. I\'m glad to be leaving, it\'s not a pleasant place .” The old man on the rocking chair said to the stranger, “Then I have to tell you, it’s pretty much the same here.”

After an hour or so, a large car carrying a family stopped here to refuel.The car drove slowly into the gas station and stopped at the place where the old man and his granddaughter were sitting.A mother came down with two small children and asked where there was a restroom, and the old man pointed to a door with a crooked sign hanging from a nail.The child\'s father also got out of the car and asked the old man, \"Isn\'t it a good town to live in?\" The person sitting on the chair replied, \"How about where you used to live?\"

The child and the father looked at him and said, \"In the town where I used to live, everyone is very kind and everyone is willing to help their neighbors. No matter where you go, someone will always say hello and thank you. I really don\'t want to leave.\" The old man turned Came over to look at him, with a kind smile on his face, \"Actually, it\'s pretty much the same here.\"

The family then returned to the car, said thank you, waved goodbye and drove away.

When the family was far away, the granddaughter raised her head and asked her grandfather, \"Grandpa, why did you tell the first person that this place is terrible, but tell the second person that this place is very good?\" The grandfather looked at his granddaughter\'s beautiful eyes kindly and said, \"Whoever you Wherever you move, you bring your attitude; whether the place is scary or cute is up to you.”

In fact, life is fair to each of us, but the difference in mentality makes life different.Grasp your mentality, mentality determines everything is not an unrealistic fantasy, but an effective guarantee for self-mastery.

Heaviness is part of life.

A couple went to the theater to see the famous play of the Passion of Christ.After the play ended, they went backstage to visit the main character who played Jesus.After taking a photo with the protagonist, they noticed a large wooden cross in the corner, which was the prop that the protagonist was carrying on the stage.

The husband said to his wife, \"Take a picture of carrying a cross for me.\"

He stepped forward and carried the cross on his back. To his great surprise, the cross was much heavier than he had imagined.It turned out that the cross was made of heavy oak, and it took a lot of effort for him to move it when he carried it on his back.As a result, after exhausting all his strength, he had to give up out of breath.

He turned back and asked the protagonist: \"I thought it was hollow in the middle and very light. Why did you make such a heavy cross?\"

The protagonist replies: \"Sir, if I can\'t feel the weight of the cross, I can\'t play the part well.\"

Heaviness is a part of real life.We enjoy the joys in life, but we also have to accept the heaviness in life, because you have to bear some of the burdens and responsibilities in life, and you have to move forward with burdens in order to step on solid footsteps.

Don\'t let your heart betray the whole world.
