The Complete Works of Wolf Road

Chapter 13 Possessing a strong mentality like a wolf (3)
If human beings lost their adventures, would there still be the feats of rockets launching into the sky and Chang'e flying to the moon?If human beings lost the adventure, would they still have the joy of watching TV and traveling by car?To be successful, you have to be adventurous!To be successful, you have to be creative!Because no one wants to stay in the original prehistoric age forever!
However, epoch-making expeditions do not happen all the time, nor do they happen to every adventurer.Because of this, the adventurous spirit embodied in daily life, scientific experiments, military operations, and industrial and commercial activities has more universal significance and is more worthy of people's thinking and experience.

Therefore, ambition plus adventure can reach the pinnacle of life.

6 Keen insight into the environment
Wolves are very observant.The excellent insight of the wolf is not only reflected in the identification of easy-to-catch objects from the prey group, but also the ability to observe and remember many subtle personality traits and habits that even humans cannot observe.

A strong person in life should be like a wolf, who has a keen insight into the environment, can see magical things from ordinary nature, can perceive situations and details that others have never done, and can constantly discover work. , Problems in life, and constantly learn from them, constantly summarize, and skillfully use these life experiences to promote personal development.

George Campbell was born blind and diagnosed with congenital cataracts.

George's father looked at the doctor, not believing his words. "Can you think of a way? Is surgery useful?"

The doctor shook his head: "Until now, we have not heard of a cure for this disease."

George couldn't see things, but his childhood was enriched by the love and confidence of his parents, and he didn't feel his handicap at all.

When George was 6 years old, something happened that he couldn't understand.One afternoon he was playing with another child.The kid forgot that George was blind, and threw him a ball, yelling "Look out."

George did get hit by the ball, but was not hurt.Nothing like this had happened to him since in his life, but he was profoundly bewildered.Later he asked his mother, "How did Bill know what was going to happen to me before I did?"

His mother sighed because what she had feared had finally happened.She told her son for the first time: "You're blind."

After a while, she took her son's hand again and said softly, "George, sit down, I can't explain it to you very well, and you may not understand it well. But let me do my best in this way." Come and explain this." She took one of his little hands in hers sympathetically, and began to count her fingers.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5. These 5 fingers represent the 5 senses of people, hearing, touch, smell, taste..." She hesitated for a while before saying, "And vision. These 5 senses The senses convey information to your brain."

She bent the finger representing vision and pressed it in the palm of her hand.

"George, you are different from other children," she said. "You have only four senses, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, but no sight. Now I will give you one thing, and you stand up," she said gently.

George stood up, and his mother handed him the ball and said, "Ready to catch."

As soon as he felt the ball touch his fingers, he folded his hands together and caught the ball.

"Well, well," said his mother, "I want you to never forget what you just did. George, you can catch the ball with four fingers instead of five. If you start there and keep working hard, You can also use 4 senses instead of 5 senses to pursue and have a full and happy life.” George’s mother used a vivid metaphor to make the two people’s thoughts communicate quickly and smoothly.

Since then, George has never forgotten the teaching of "use 4 fingers instead of 5 fingers".It means hope to him.Whenever he was depressed due to his physical handicap, he used his mother's teachings as his motto to motivate himself.In fact, it has become a kind of autosuggestion, which will pass from the subconscious to the conscious when needed.

George discovered later in life that his mother was right.Life can be perfect if he can use his 4 senses well.

While George was in high school, his father learned about a new treatment for congenital cataracts.Of course, this therapy is not yet fully developed, and there is a possibility of failure, but the probability of success greatly outweighs the possibility of failure.George longed to see the light, and he was willing to risk failure to gain sight.In 6 months, the doctor performed 4 elaborate surgeries on George.Two operations were performed on each eye.George's eyes were covered with bandages lying on the bed in the ward.Finally, the day came when the bandages were removed.

The doctor slowly and carefully removed the gauze covering the eyes.George felt only a dim light. Had the operation not been entirely successful?He lay there heartbroken.After a while he heard the doctor walking by his bed and putting something in his eye.

"Can you see what this is now?" asked the doctor.

George raised his head a little from the pillow, and thought a colored figure loom before his eyes.

"George!" someone called his name, a voice he knew well, it was his mother's voice.

George Campbell saw his mother for the first time in his 18 years of life.She is 62 years old and has a wrinkled face.But to George she was the most beautiful.

For George, his mother is an angel, and without her love, he would not have seen the light.To this day, he cherishes what he saw for the first time.He has learned to value his vision from his first visual experience."Not one of us understands the miracle of sight and how difficult our lives would be without it," he said.

George would never forget the day when he saw his mother standing before him in the hospital room and didn't know who she was until he heard her voice.George said: "What we see is always a mental translation, and we have to train the mind to translate what we see."

There are not many people who are good at observing life, which means that many people do not filter the confidence transmitted to the brain through the eyes.

As a result, the thing cannot be fully known, and its meaning cannot be fully grasped.Therefore, we must learn to observe.

If you are good at observation, you will find opportunities for success.In the process of observation, you should not only see the distance, but also not ignore the near.It is of great advantage to a man who knows how to observe directly what is in front of him.For example, in the town of Darby in the Bitterroot Mountains on the western border of Montana in the northwestern United States, people have been used to looking up at the crystal mountain for many years.Crystal Mountain got its name because it has been eroded to expose a protruding narrow section of shimmering crystals that look a bit like rocks.As early as 1937, a railway crossing here was built here.But until 1951, no one ever picked up a shiny piece of ore for a closer look.

In 1951, two young men in Darby, Klee and Thompson, saw beryllium ore for atomic energy research at the town's mineral exhibition.The two immediately came to Jingshan and sent samples to the Bureau of Minerals for inspection and analysis. After confirming that it was extremely valuable beryllium ore, they bought the ownership of the mine.Heavy mining has now begun, and representatives of the U.S. Steel Corporation and the U.S. government are waiting at the foot of the mountain with checks in hand.It has been identified as one of the largest deposits of beryllium ore in the world.All this is simply the result of the two young people not only observing with their physical eyes, but also taking the trouble to think with their inner eyes.

"Knowledge is power!" With knowledge, you can change your life.So, how should we get knowledge?That is to learn, to keep learning.All human knowledge is obtained from observation and learning.A person begins to learn from birth into this world, learning to speak, learning to walk, learning to do things, learning everything.If we don't learn, we can't be a healthy person.Goethe once said: "Man does not rely on everything he is born with, but on everything he gets from learning to create himself."

In history or around us, due to various conditions, many people have not received higher education, and some people do not even have the most basic education.But they continue to learn consciously through observation of life, and eventually become authorities or influential figures in certain aspects.

In fact, a person's life is a learning process.Even if you don't realize it, you are always learning on the job and on the job.But this passive learning effect will certainly not be obvious.If you have this awareness yourself, stimulate your potential, and constantly learn from various things like a wolf, you will be able to maintain a strong competitiveness.

7 Develop a positive attitude and constantly motivate yourself

Motivation is to inspire people to make choices and implement them.What motivates you, also motivates others; what motivates others, also motivates you.In order to motivate yourself, you have to work hard to learn the principles of motivating others; in order to motivate others, you have to work hard to understand the principles of motivating yourself.Get into the habit of motivating yourself with a positive mindset, and you can take control of your own destiny.

There was a successful cosmetics manufacturer who retired at the age of 65.Since then, his friends have held a birthday party for him every year.At this time, they asked him to tell the secret of his success, but he just laughed and didn't answer every time.

It wasn't until his 75th birthday, when his friends made the request again, half-jokingly, half-seriously, that he said: "You guys have been so nice to me all these years. Now it's time for me to tell you the secret of my success. You know, I've added a wonderful ingredient to what other cosmetic manufacturers use."

"What is this mysterious ingredient?" people eagerly asked.

"I've never told any woman that my makeup will make her more beautiful, but I always give them that hope."

His magic ingredient is hope!

Hope is the desire that a person harbors, hoping to get what he wants, and believing that he can get it.A person can consciously respond to what he wishes.

In order to realize one's wishes, one has to act accordingly, and behind every thought and every action there is a certain motive.

Behavior without motivation does not exist.People’s motives for doing things are nothing more than: considering self-protection, for love, avoiding fear, for sexual demands, seeking physical and mental freedom, obtaining material wealth and so on.

The key to success is self-motivation, what the soul expects is what can be done.The hopes in people's hearts are often more valuable than ideal dreams.Hope is often a prophecy of reality, and more importantly, a guide for people to do things.Hope to measure the level of people's goals, the number of effectiveness.

Many people allow their hopes to fade away because they do not understand that by holding on to their hopes they increase their strength and realize their dreams.Hope has an inspiring creative power, it encourages people to do their best to accomplish what they set out to do.Hope can increase people's talents and make all dreams come true.

For human beings, the most precious hope is to have a perfect personality.When hope is established, one's thoughts and emotions become steadfast.Therefore, everyone should have noble goals and positive thoughts.Positive and enterprising thoughts are enough to improve a person's hope and make him maximize his talents and reach the highest state.Hope is the mother of success. Whether it is hope for a healthy body, a noble character, or great success, as long as the method is right and you try your best, it is possible to achieve it.

A person's hope, combined with perseverance, produces the ability to create.A person has hope, coupled with persistent efforts, he will achieve the goal of hope.With hope, if there is no determination and hard work to cooperate, and to ignore hope, even the most grand and beautiful hope will come to naught.

People's hope often has astonishing power to build the edifice of life.A heart full of hope has great creativity, which will realize people's ideals.Hope and anticipation will bring people's potential to full play, and hope and anticipation will awaken our hidden strength.Everyone should firmly believe that what they hope and expect can be realized, and there must be no doubts.

Effectively motivating others is very important.People have to play a double role in life, you inspire others, others inspire you.Parents often motivate children, and teachers often motivate students.Believe in a person, have confidence in him, and then motivate him to realize his great potential, and he will succeed.

When Carl was a child, he was considered a bad boy. No matter what happened, everyone would suspect that he did it. His father and brother also regarded him in the same way.After Karl's mother died, his father married a second wife, and Karl thought it was impossible for her to treat him well.When she came to Karl's house, Karl's father introduced to her that Karl was the worst child among the brothers.

Karl will never forget how his stepmother treated him.She put her hands on Karl's shoulders, and looked into Karl's eyes with a sparkle, which made Karl realize that she was an amiable person.She said: "Is this the worst kid?

Impossible, he is just the smartest of these children, and all we have to do is to bring out his bright qualities. "

Karl's stepmother always encouraged Karl to rely on his own strength, make bold plans, and move forward with determination.All this turned out to be the backbone of Karl's career.Carl never forgot her teaching: "When you motivate people, you make them feel confident."

Karl's stepmother raised Karl.Her deep love and unshakable confidence inspire Carl to strive to be a useful person.

That is to say, when you have confidence in others, and then use positive methods to motivate him, he will succeed.

8 Enthusiasm generates powerful energy
It is very important to have the unremitting pursuit and enthusiasm like a wolf.

What is enthusiasm?Enthusiasm is about expressing inner feelings, tapping people's interest in discussing issues that interest them, and touching people's inner world.

"Enthusiasm can melt everything. Enthusiasm comes from the heart, it is not a hypocritical appearance. Enthusiasm makes people full of charm and appeal. In front of a positive and powerful person, even if it is ice, it will no longer be indifferent."

In fact, the meaning of enthusiasm and inner spirit is basically the same.For a person who is truly passionate about life, his inner brilliance shines brightly, and a fiery spiritual essence will be deeply rooted in his inner thoughts.

No matter who has some enthusiasm in his heart, and the inner world of those who are eager to succeed is more like a flame, this enthusiasm is actually a kind of valuable energy.Use your flame to ignite the enthusiasm of others, and you will take another big step towards success.

Emerson said: "In history, there is no great cause that is not successful because of enthusiasm." This is the signpost towards success.By cultivating and developing the trait of enthusiasm, we can add sparkle and interest to everything we do.A dedicated person, whether farming or running a large company, considers his work a sacred calling and takes great interest in it.People who are enthusiastic about their work, no matter how difficult the work is or how much effort is required, they will always do it with a calm attitude.With this attitude, anyone is sure to succeed and reach their goals.

Enthusiasm is the main driver of action.Let's look at this passage about Napoleon.

After Napoleon left Paris to take office, what he got was 38 tramps who were demoralized, hungry, poor, and lacked weapons and ammunition, which were dubbed the beggar army.In fact, this is simply a trick played by politicians-a post arranged to transfer Napoleon from Paris.

On April 1796, 4, the real test of Napoleon came.

Before launching the attack, Napoleon gave a speech to the soldiers in Albinge, encouraging the soldiers to attack, and promised that the soldiers would take the spoils after the attack was successful.All the gold and silver treasures are the military pay of the troops.This boosted the morale of all soldiers.It is said that after hearing this passage, promising young military officers such as Lannu, who would be promoted to marshal in the future, thought that there was no other way to achieve the glory of their dreams except to follow Napoleon.

Napoleon solved the problem of lack of food and pay for the army by promising to allow soldiers to search for supplies in the occupied areas.Sending the army to collect food, grass, clothing and other materials on the spot solved the urgent problems of lack of food at that time, injected vitality into the army, and made it an invincible army with its outstanding leadership.

Napoleon fulfilled his promise, and the French soldiers could do whatever they wanted in the occupied area. Everyone had a full stomach and basically equipped with muskets.The looting of supplies did not weaken the combat effectiveness of this army. On the contrary, it established Napoleon's prestige among the soldiers, and Napoleon could better command this greedy army.

Napoleon's inspiring speech made his "beggar army" invincible.All he counted on was maximizing the enthusiasm of his men.Enthusiasm can unleash enormous energy.

Enthusiasm is not an empty term, it is a vital force that you can harness to your advantage.Without it, you are like a dead battery.Enthusiasm is a great force that you can use to replenish your physical energy and develop a strong personality.
