Be a Man and Do Things Pillow Book

Chapter 51: Do things with a good attitude (3)
As on Everest, climbers are persistent, stubborn and also possess great physical strength and resilience.They are constantly removing obstacles and looking for a way to climb.If they come to a place that is absolutely impossible to grasp or come to a dead end, their method is very simple, that is, to go back the same way.When they are tired and unable to take another step forward, they still put a lot of pressure on themselves. "Give up" is not a word for climbers, they are the ones furthest away from giving up.They have the maturity and the philosophy to understand that occasionally stepping back is only to better move forward.They possess superhuman intelligence and of course understand that failure is a natural part of being successful.Climbers are not reckless, and their brave life is full of real courage and science.They are explorers of life, but also successful.

Of course, climbers are people too.Sometimes, they get bored and even worry about failing the climb.They may doubt or feel alone and hurt.They questioned their actions and some doubted their challenge.Sometimes, you'll see them mixed in with the half-assed.The difference between them, however, is that the climber is gathering strength, waiting to rejuvenate, and will start a new climb, while the quitter is not going to climb again, they want to stay here.For climbers, the camp is just a camp, but for those who give up halfway, the camp is a warm home.

Climbers are good at meeting challenges, and what is closely connected with their lives is a sense of urgency.They are self-motivated, have high spiritual drive, and work hard to achieve the glory of life.It can be said that climbers are the catalysts of behavior, they always make things happen.

Discover your own strengths early on.

Emerson, the father of American spirit, once said that everyone is an angel.

A pastor also preached in the same way: "Everyone is an angel who fell from the sky. Everyone living in the world must use the unique gift given by God to develop their greatest potential." But he is not Emerson, and immediately Someone pointed to his flat nose and asked, "Do angels have flat noses too?" Another lovely lady echoed, "My short legs are not created by God, are they?"

The pastor replied with a smile: "God's creation is perfect, and you are indeed angels who descended from the sky, but..." Pointing to the gentleman with a flat nose, he said, "You descended from the sky, but let your nose touch the ground first." Pointing to the short-legged lady again: "When you fell from the sky, you forgot to find a parachute!"

Everyone is an angel, and let's not forget that the purpose of people's journey is to spread love and joy because of mistakes in the landing process.The proverb says that when God closes one door for everyone, he always opens another.It means that everyone has talent and everyone has opportunities.There is no unparalleled road, and death is sometimes just a road back to heaven.So please don't complain about your weaknesses and flaws, but focus on your strengths, that is, what you have.These own advantages are the basis for your survival and development.

Angels are all different, some are in charge of love, while others are in charge of justice.Every human being, too, has a perfect talent from God.This talent can be used with great pleasure.

Ague Robert was a contemporary of Picasso.He and Picasso were child prodigies since childhood. He was born on a farm and loved painting when he was a child. However, due to the hardships of life, he was overwhelmed by heavy farm work.During the leisure season, he spends hours a day contemplating the colorful scenery around him.For 50 years, he did not touch a brush.Until he retired at home, the talents he had accumulated for many years spewed out, and soon reached the peak of his creation. He held more than 20 solo exhibitions across the country and became one of the most outstanding painters at that time.If Mr. Ague Robert could have discovered his advantages earlier, he may well be another Picasso.

People often spend decades doing a job, but rarely spend a few hours thinking about their strengths in the job.Strengths or talents are found in the fact that if you do something consistently, you can enjoy it, that is, in the work itself.

Strengths are not necessarily a certain type of work, it is more likely to be a certain aspect of the work, such as being pioneering, cautious, disciplined or careful, such as being enthusiastic, authoritative, tolerant or considerate.It may also be a value that you love, such as thinking, achievement, belief, justice, and so on.Here is an example of a doctor who had been in the profession for several years. She was getting more and more upset by caring for patients every day, and she was becoming less and less willing to be with patients.She began to wonder if she had entered the wrong line of work.She reflected on herself, and finally realized that she likes to take care of patients, but she doesn't like to take care of serious patients, because she has a relentless pursuit of achievement, and she likes to see the patients she takes care of recovering day by day.So she consciously chooses to take care of patients with skin diseases and other minor diseases, so that her work becomes happier and her patients recover quickly.

The embodiment of strengths at work is to enjoy working.Some people think that work and enjoyment are two completely different things. Work is hard work, and people have to work to make money, but enjoying incomparable happiness costs money.I have a friend who likes flower art very much. In addition to growing all kinds of flowers in his own backyard, he also grows flowers for his neighbors, explaining flower art to them, so that neighbors can enjoy the fragrance of flowers.This friend lives in poverty because he is often unemployed.The neighbors got together to discuss it, and decided to hire him to be their florist, and he would come to the house every week, for which he could get a sum of money to support the family.After this friend heard about it, he found it difficult to accept what the neighbor meant, and the interpersonal relationship suddenly became tense.He believes that it is not possible to make money by doing happy things, otherwise the work must be boring.

Some people say: do one line, love one line.That's not bad.You must enjoy your work. The happier you are at work, the more you will be able to give full play to your strengths, and the more effective you will be in dealing with people.

In addition, we also want to emphasize: love one line, do one line.Choose a job that you enjoy the most, and the happier you become, the more likely you are to be successful.

Believe that you are unique.

There is no one in this world who is exactly like you.Occasionally there will be people who are very similar in appearance, but not exactly the same.As the experts pointed out: "From a genetic point of view, it is impossible for the same person to appear a second time in human history." You are you, before you and after you, there is no second you.In this sense, you are indeed an irreplaceable being.

Human beings are one of the most advanced masterpieces in the universe created by nature after a long period of operation, and they are indeed a mysterious existence.It's almost unbelievable that strengths or personalities and so on vary from person to person.You may not have other people's strengths or personality, but, in turn, you must have your own strengths or personality, and other people will not have your strengths or personality, your talents, qualities, abilities, etc. , on the earth and even in the entire universe, it belongs only to you alone.

So, don't compare yourself with others.In particular, the situation of feeling inferior compared with other people, etc., is even more absurd.How can things that are different in the first place be compared?In order to achieve self-worth, in order to succeed, you must play to your strengths and personality.Therefore, the most important thing is to fully devote yourself to a career that interests you.

Many people who have reached the pinnacle of their work and achieved world-renowned achievements have had the experience of being belittled by others.For example, being judged by others: "You can't do it at all", "What talent can you have?"If they accept this evaluation from others and give up their efforts, they will never have the brilliant aura of success.However, they are unswerving in the face of such and other belittling, and always work unswervingly towards the set goal.Struggling forward in the suffering, and finally to success.

Even if you are an outstanding person, no one can tell whether you will be successful in the future with piercing eyes.So, don't care about the gossip of the people around you, as long as you go forward with all your strength along the path you believe in, then at the end of the road, success is waiting for you.

People are on the verge of pain and despair, and they never think that they will be successful and happy in the future.But even in the worst of circumstances, the possibility of success and happiness lies deep and silent within you.

If a person can understand that he will become famous in the world in the future, then he can bear any serious suffering in front of him.Unfortunately, no outstanding person in any field can correctly predict his own future or his own talent for success.Therefore, if one day you feel "despair!" "It's over!" "I'm a redundant person in this world!" Don't fall.

When you are thinking about how to give up, the seeds of future success and happiness are still pregnant in your body.It is true, and you must firmly remember this.

The door of destiny opens for those who are persistently optimistic.

American "National Treasure" Jester Huston is an out-and-out black man, but he is a popular "National Treasure". All choirs in the United States will inevitably sing one or two songs created by him. Songs, and in the creation of black soul music, he is also a world-class top master, no one can match him.

He was once asked, "Jester, have you ever been racist?"

"Oh, I've been discriminated against all my life. However, I don't think I should overreact, so I try to turn a deaf ear to others' discrimination. Although, I can't completely let it go, I never hold a grudge."

Once, at a [-]-person concert in Las Vegas, Jeste Huston sang "My Dream Is With You" with his true feelings.

After he finished singing, he said emotionally: "I, like most Americans, love our country, but my skin color makes me different from some people. It doesn't matter. You are all very appreciative listeners. Affirm that my singing voice is not false, but sings a dream for your pleasure."

After finishing speaking, there were thunderous shouts one after another, and since then, Jester Huston became famous and became a national treasure-level singer.

There is such a little story that illustrates that optimistic people can enjoy life in any environment.

There is a naturally optimistic person in England who never worships God and makes God unhappy because God's authority is being challenged.

After his death, in order to punish him, God locked him in a very hot room. Seven days later, God visited this optimistic man and saw him very happy.God then asked: "Being in such a stuffy room for seven days, isn't it hard for you?" The optimistic person said: "Staying in this room reminds me of basking in the sun in the park. Of course I am very happy!" It is rare for the UK to have good weather a year. Once it is sunny, people like to go to the park to bask in the sun.)
Not reconciled, God locked the happy man in a cold room.Seven days passed, and God saw that the happy man was still very happy, so he asked him, "Why are you happy this time?" The happy man replied, "Stay in this cold room, let me Can you not be happy when you think that Christmas is coming, there will be a holiday again, and there will be a lot of Christmas presents?"

God was not reconciled, so he locked him in a dark and damp room.Seven days passed, and the happy man was still very happy. At this time, God was a little puzzled, and said, "This time, if you can give me a convincing reason, I will not make things difficult for you." People said: "I am a football fan, but the football team I like rarely has a chance to win. But once I won, the weather was like this. So every time I encounter such weather, I will be happy, because it will make me happy. I think about my favorite football team winning."

God had nothing to say, and set the happy man free.

If you stay optimistic, the door of destiny will eventually open for you.
