Be a Man and Do Things Pillow Book

Chapter 61
Lincoln, the famous president in American history, grew up on the edge of a remote rural jungle when he was a child. He lived in a simple log cabin in the wilderness, without windows and doors, far away from schools, churches, and railways. There were no newspapers, books, or even Even the necessities of daily life are scarce, let alone the various enjoyments in life.Every day he has to walk for several hours to study in another simple school in the "neighborhood"; he has to trek dozens of miles in the wilderness to borrow some books he wants to read.Then, in spite of the hard work of the day, read by the light of the firewood.However, Lincoln never passively waited for an opportunity. It was this harsh living environment that made the greatest president of the United States.

In many cases, passive waiting is a waste of life.

The so-called procrastination is the biggest killer of success.

Many people have the habit of procrastinating.In the early morning, the alarm clock wakes you up from sleep, thinking about the plan you have made, but feeling the warmth in the bed at the same time.While constantly telling myself that it's time to get up, I kept finding excuses for myself to wait a little longer.So, in the uneasy struggle, I lay down for another 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes.

Procrastination is a habit.I once recorded the time of the day, and was surprised to find that "procrastination" consumed a quarter of our day, or even more.

In many cases, procrastination is due to human inertia. Whenever we have to work or make a choice, whenever we feel afraid of a certain job and want to avoid something we are not willing to face , we always find some excuses and reasons for ourselves, and always want to make ourselves more relaxed and comfortable.

In fact, procrastination is indulging laziness, that is, giving laziness a chance. If it forms a habit, it will easily wear down people's will, make you lose confidence in yourself more and more, doubt your perseverance, doubt your goal, doubt your ability , and even make your own character become indecisive, and develop a work style of procrastination.

Don't give others the impression of procrastination, as you will lose a lot of opportunities.No one wants to work with someone who is procrastinating, indecisive, and whose words and deeds are inconsistent.If you let your opponent know that you are procrastinating, he will seize every opportunity to beat you down without hesitation.

We will try our best not to procrastinate.The best way is the method of coercion, that is, when you know that you are going to do something, let yourself do it immediately, never leave yourself a second to think, and never let yourself open the fight against inertia Mode.The best way to deal with laziness is not to let it happen at all.At the beginning of things, there are always positive thoughts first, and then when the question "Can I..." appear in my mind, inertia appears, and the "war" begins.Once the war starts, the result is hard to say.Therefore, if you can act immediately as soon as a positive thought appears, then there is no possibility of laziness taking advantage of it.

Professor Emerson said: "The man who drives his four-wheeled cart to the planet is more likely to achieve his goal than the man who follows the trail of a snail on a muddy track."

Although most of the results are not [-]% perfect, our goal is to try our best to do our best, learn from experience and learn lessons, so that we can do better every time, and work hard towards the goals we have established time and time again.

There are two classmates in a certain university, who were admitted to the university from the same place. They live in the same dormitory. They are both classmates and roommates. The relationship between the two is very good.They agreed that they must go to the doctoral degree together.

When they graduated from university, the two were assigned to two units with very good treatment.One of them still insists on studying and preparing to take the exam, while the other thinks that he should work for a few years and wait until he has some savings.

After a few years, one of them got a master's degree, and the other became a section chief.When the two met, talking about their ideals back then, the classmates who were studying persuaded the classmate who became the section chief to continue studying, but he said, let's talk about it when he becomes the section chief!
A few years later, my classmate, who was studying for a PhD, went to the United States after graduating.

A few years later, he returned from studying abroad and became a doctoral supervisor in a well-known university, becoming the academic leader of the university.

But the classmate who was an official was investigated by the procuratorate on suspicion of duty-related crimes.

The classmate who was studying said very sadly that the classmate who is an official is very smart. If the two of them were studying together, he must be the leader of the subject today, not himself.

Once a person decides to do something, he should persevere in his efforts and should not change his goal at will.As the saying goes: Those who have a will set up a long-term will, and those who have no will often set up a will.

We have been waiting for an opportunity.However, opportunities cannot be passively waited for, let alone delayed.If you rely on waiting and luck, then your initial enthusiasm and the energy you have already expended will be exhausted in passive waiting.If you procrastinate, you will lose the opportunity in front of you and eventually lead to failure.

Put your heart and soul into your business.If it's worth it for you.It is also worth your research.If you don't know some specific situations, observe more and collect more information, which can also be regarded as a kind of preparation work.It will give you a burst of strength to get to work.The more you know about your work, the more interested you will be.

You may know that procrastination is a problem.If you're a manager, you definitely don't like subordinates who procrastinate.However, many of us have formed such habits and contracted such diseases consciously or unconsciously.Maybe each of us has a bad habit of procrastinating. We encounter this phenomenon from time to time, so that we don't take it seriously when we see or happen to ourselves.

Procrastination, however, is an extremely pernicious vice.Mr. Lu Xun once said: To waste other people's time is equal to murder for money.how about you?Do you often procrastinate?You may already hate this bug and want to change it in your life.However, you always fail to put your wishes into practical actions. In fact, having such an idea but not implementing it is another kind of procrastination.

Perhaps there is indeed some "reason" for this.

Each of us knows that procrastination is indeed an unhealthy behavior, but few people can say that they never procrastinate.This in itself is helpless.In fact, life itself is full of such philosophies.It's not that you like to do it, but if you do it again, your mood will be very comfortable.In fact, for most people, procrastination is just a way to keep yourself from engaging in real life.

There are many reasons for the procrastination habit, the main reasons of which are lack of confidence, lack of sense of responsibility, security, fear of failure, or inability to face some threatening and difficult things.The subconscious is also what causes people to procrastinate.They know what to do, but can't do it for unknown reasons.Sometimes it is because of certain subconscious fears that hold back their actions.

The best time to stop procrastinating is now.So, let us start changing ourselves now!
First of all, you must have a happy heart.How you feel about the work you do can greatly affect the way you do it.If you accept to do something with great joy, it will be done better and more smoothly, and your joy can be shared with others.Conversely, if you are angry and dissatisfied with your work, it will become tedious, you will be more likely to make many mistakes, and the people around you will gradually alienate you.

In fact, happiness is a very simple thing.You will be as happy as you want to be.As long as you start to think of some happy things and remove all fear, anger, and frustration from your heart, even when you face other people's difficulties, you will be sunny and happy, and the things around you will become easier, and sometimes you will also let yourself be relieved. You are moved.Try to find some happy things, read some uplifting books, watch some comedies, and laugh at the funny things.If you can develop the habit of being happy, the pace of stopping procrastination will be accelerated.

Develop a happy, healthy attitude, and get to work on the work you put off.You will find how unnecessary the previous procrastination is, you will find that your life is full of vigor and vitality, and you will find that you can easily infect others.

Learn to know yourself.It's much easier to change your behavior if you know what you're doing.Write down your emotions and find out which one helps you the most, just like finding out the reasons for your procrastination. If you keep a good record and read it often, you will understand yourself better.This can increase your own strength and overcome your own shortcomings.The more you learn about yourself, the more afraid you may be to find out.This fear can also cause you to procrastinate unless you learn how to overcome it.

Get over your fears.For those factors that cause you to procrastinate, you must dare to face them.If you're afraid you're going to make some mistakes, write it down, and then write down how you're going to solve those headaches.By doing this, your fear will disappear without a trace, but you must train yourself to do these exercises.

Fears are always hiding in dark corners, slowly wearing away your will, but if you dig them out and hit them head-on, they wither and die.

Train your mind and be more efficient.

Every day you have to train your mind so that it cannot remain dormant.Over time, you'll develop a habit that will free you from the trap of procrastination and lead you to another full and rewarding life.This kind of mental training should be done as much as possible.Here are some specific training methods:

Experience the experience of focusing your mind on the spiritual side.Take some time to smell the flowers and plants, watch the sunset and sunrise, fully enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes, and experience the fun of these feelings.

Learn to let yourself learn something new every day to keep your mind fresh.

Think back and think about what happened in the past, they will have certain guiding significance for the present and the future.

Get into action and do something that requires responsibility and imagination.

Completing a job, or something in your life, especially something you've neglected.

Creation gives the world something that may still be useful after you leave it.

In addition, there are many exercises that you can imagine for yourself that will not only help you act, but will help you to do things that you could not do before.

Learn to motivate yourself.You may be procrastinating because you lack motivation, or because you feel discouraged and useless. If this is the case, you must reinvent yourself and overcome your weaknesses.

May wish to boast a little, that will increase your confidence and increase your enthusiasm for work.The more you believe in yourself, the more you can accomplish and the better you will do it.

Find a source and record these positive stimuli.You can write down inspirations that come to you, or recognition and awards that others give you.A sense of humor can also have unimaginable therapeutic effects.So make sure to include some illustrations, and some secret history stuff, anything that makes you laugh.As long as it keeps your spirits up and gives you confidence, use it as much as possible to help you reach your goals.

You can also occasionally give yourself top marks for good things you do, which can keep your sense of self fully nourished.

Change some habits.Before you can stop procrastinating, you have to break some habits or change the way you behave.Give yourself some rewards as soon as you start working, even if you get discouraged later on, that's okay, it's better than punishing yourself for quitting.Do this consistently and you will develop many important good habits.

Of all your habits, there is one that you must get rid of immediately, and that is the bad habit of procrastination.A good attitude can give you momentum as you change yourself, but at the same time you need to understand what it is you want to accomplish.

Analyze your behavior.It's easy and often useful to try to analyze everything you have to do.For your own behavior, you must study it carefully.Because the better you know your job, the easier it will be for you to do it.If you don't know anything about your behavior, you will be indifferent to it, and indifference is the precursor to procrastination.You can overcome both if you become more aware of your behavior.

Put your heart and soul into your business.With this new knowledge, you'll find it easier and faster to do it.Share your knowledge with others and get them involved in the work too.They will not only stimulate your enthusiasm for work, but also support your hard work.
