The Complete Works of Wolf Road

Chapter 17 Possessing a Strong Personality Like a Wolf (2)
When the sun fell, there was only the last bullet in the gun, and the companion had not returned.The wounded warrior was convinced that his companions had already left, and that he could only wait for death.In the imagination, vultures flew over in the desert, ruthlessly pecked at his eyes and devoured his body... As a result, he collapsed completely and sent the last bullet into his temple.Not long after the gunshots rang out, the companion came with a jug full of water and led a caravan of camels, and found a body that was still warm...

The soldier rushed out of the enemy's hail of bullets, but died under his own gun. People sighed and could not help being vigilant: We are fighting in the journey of life, fighting against the sky and people, and we should not give up easily , I believe that as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't overcome.However, in many cases, in the face of harsh environments, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and intrigues, we deny ourselves psychologically, and we choose to give up and fail.

In the dictionaries of successful people, there is absolutely no word "despair", because they will not deny themselves easily, only know that what awaits them will be hope, even if many things seem to have reached the edge of despair, they will take risks Fight hard and dig out the hope of survival for yourself.

Here is a story of a cowherd boy who survived a desperate situation. It tells people to hold on to their last hope even in the most desperate time, and to make the last struggle and adventure, so that they will give themselves one more chance.Maybe, you will get a brand new life because of it.

One day, the cow-herding boy went to the mountain to cut firewood, and was suddenly attacked by a tiger. The cow-herding boy was frightened, grabbed the sickle and ran away.However, there is already a cliff ahead!But the tiger is approaching the cowherd boy.In order to survive, the cowherd boy decided to fight the tiger.Just when he turned around to face the tiger with its jaws wide open, unfortunately he stepped on the ground and fell towards the cliff.At the critical moment, the survival instinct made the cowherd boy grab a small tree in the air.

Will it be possible to survive this way?There are hungry and hungry tigers on the top, and the eerie deep valley below, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, even if people come, they cannot rescue them.After the cowherd boy hanging on the cliff understood his situation, he couldn't help crying in despair.

At this time, he caught a glimpse of an old monk passing by on the opposite mountainside, and shouted "help".The old monk looked around, sighed, and shouted to him: "I can't help it. It seems that only you can save yourself!"

Hearing this, the cowherd boy cried even harder: "How can I save myself?"

The old monk said: "Instead of holding on to the little tree and waiting to die of starvation or falling to death, it is better to let go of your hand. After all, there is still a glimmer of hope!" After finishing speaking, the old monk walked away with a sigh.The cowherd boy cried for a while, and scolded the old monk for a while.It was getting dark, and the tiger above had set its sights on him, refusing to leave.The cowherd boy was hungry and tired, and his hand holding the little tree felt weaker and weaker.what to do?The cowherd boy remembered the old monk's words again. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that his words were also reasonable.

Yes, if this goes on, it will only be a dead end, and if you let go of your hand and fall, it may still be a dead end, but maybe you will have the possibility of survival.Since everything is a death, it is better to take a risk and give it a try.

So, the cowherd boy stopped crying, turned his head with difficulty, and chose the direction to jump.He found that there seemed to be a small piece of green under the abyss, could it be grass?It would be nice if it was grass, maybe you won't fall to your death after jumping off.He told himself: "I'm afraid it's useless. Only by taking a risk can you have the hope of survival." He gritted his teeth, and let go of the hand that held the little tree at the moment when his feet pushed hard towards the cliff.The body fell down quickly, with the wind whistling in his ears, he was very scared, but he told himself that he must never close his eyes, he had to choose a place to land with his eyes wide open.A miracle happened - he landed on the only small piece of green land in the deep valley!
Later, the cowherd baby was carried home by the villagers to recuperate.Two years later, he is back on his feet!

The cowherd baby tells people with his own experience that life can be saved even in a desperate situation.As long as you don't give up hope and don't give up your efforts, you may have a chance to be born again.

Don't despair of life easily, regard disaster as a school, regard adversity as nourishment, dare to take a big risk for yourself, and the result may be that you seize the opportunity and create the spring of life.

With a brave fighting spirit, do not admit defeat to fate, do not admit that there is despair in the world, always hold on to the last hope, and dig hope out of despair.This may be the secret of many people's success in doing things.

5Maintain and defend dignity with life

A wolf is a proud animal, and a human should be even more proud.

Human pride should be manifested in the following aspects.

First, don't lose your dignity as a human being.A person's dignity not only needs to be maintained and defended by others, but also needs to be maintained and defended by oneself with faith, strength of character and even life.

Dignity really weighs more than life!I remember a writer who said: Human dignity is a kind of height and quality. No matter how inconspicuous a person has this height and this quality, he will be neither humble nor overbearing in the face of the rich and powerful; ; Unable to avoid injustice.If a person has dignity, he also has the skeleton of the soul that supports life.In other words, if a person loses his dignity, even though he has a human body, he actually lives no differently from a pig or a dog.

One cannot live without dignity, just as the sun cannot live without its blazing rays, and rivers cannot live without heroic rush.

Second, don't lose your poise and dignity.

A girl was fired by her boss for no apparent reason.The boss told her to go to the financial office to settle the wages in the afternoon.At noon, she sat on a park bench feeling sad.A child stood beside her and did not leave, so she asked strangely, "What are you doing standing here?"

"The back of this bench has just been painted, and I want to see what your back looks like when you stand up," said the little one.The girl was startled and smiled.She suddenly realized: just like these innocent eyes wanting to see the paint on her back, those shrewd and sophisticated colleagues of hers in the past also wanted to silently spy on her downfall and frustration with strong interest.She must not lose her smile, demeanor and dignity while losing her job.

So, that afternoon, when her former colleagues came out to greet her tacitly, what they saw was a calm and beautiful face that was no different from usual days.

Yeah, the frustrations in life are everywhere, really like those wet-painted chair backs.Of course, before sitting down, it is best to carefully find a dry place. If there is no way to sit down, don't be depressed.When standing up, keep people from seeing the paint behind you.How to do it?It's very simple, take off the coat that has been stained with paint, and hold it in your hand.Sometimes, in the face of certain injuries, maybe we have to protect ourselves in this way.

Third, don't live under shelter.If a person blindly seeks shelter, he is often vulnerable to real wind and rain, and it is better to walk steadily on his own.

There are two trees in the yard.Because of the protection of the high wall, a tree grows tall and straight, calmly and gracefully.But the other tree is quite different, because it has to withstand the wind and rain by itself, it has to survive with the wind, and the trunk is bent and mottled, which is very ugly.None of us kids like it.

Fast forward to many years, I graduated from university, because there is no suitable job, I have been at home all the time, with my parents working hard for me, my life is relaxed and comfortable.

That summer, a rare typhoon hit my city.When I woke up that morning and opened the window, I was shocked by the situation in front of me: the high wall fell down, and the tall tree was broken down to the waist, but the mottled old tree, although some branches were broken, Dry, but still stand proudly.

What can I say?Where would you dare to live under the care of your parents with peace of mind?In that year, I went to Shenzhen.That's why I chose to be self-reliant.

Living under the protection of the strong certainly reduces the baptism of wind and rain, but what is the meaning of this kind of life without assertiveness and self?

Fourth, abide by your own principles.A person's history is always written with the footprints he walks, and the footprints left by different people are very different. Some people's footsteps are called ignorance, and some people's footsteps are called noble.

More than 300 years ago, architectural designer Christo Leian was commissioned to design the Hall of Wenze City Hall in England.Using his knowledge of engineering mechanics and his many years of practical experience, he ingeniously designed the ceiling of the hall supported by only one pillar.A year later, when the authority of the city government conducted the project acceptance, they said that it was too dangerous to support the ceiling with only one pillar, and asked Ryan to add a few more pillars.

Leian is confident that only a solid pillar is enough to ensure the safety of the hall, and cited relevant examples. He refused to accept the proposal of the project acceptor.His "stubbornness" annoyed city officials and nearly brought him to court.Ryan was very distressed. If he sticks to his original idea, the city officials will definitely find someone else to modify the design; if he doesn't insist, it will be against his own principles.

After conflicting for a long time, Leian finally came up with a clever plan. He added 4 pillars in the hall, but these pillars did not touch the ceiling. Officials.

More than 300 years have passed, and the city officials have changed one after another, but this secret has never been discovered.It wasn't until two years ago, when the city government was preparing to repair the ceiling of the hall, that it discovered Ryan's "falsification".

After the news came out, architectural experts and tourists from all over the world gathered. They called this city hall "a building that mocks ignorance". Lead people to admire and believe in science.

Stand up for yourself and write your own history.This is the life proposition of a successful person.

Fifth, respect order and gain freedom.Everyone has a different view of freedom, and freedom has a different place in everyone's mind.Many freedom-loving people can't bear any constraints. They are like the hungry wolf who would give up everything for freedom, including their own lives.Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, these people will appear different and incomprehensible.However, we ordinary people yearn for freedom in our hearts, but ordinary people will not give up certain things for freedom.There are also some people who are afraid of freedom, and once they have freedom, they will be at a loss.They hope that there are strict disciplines and norms to require them, and they hope that their words and actions conform to these disciplines and norms.

Even if freedom is valuable, most of us should not go to either extreme, especially the second.As people in modern society, we should have our own freedom, but we also have to abide by the norms and laws of this society.Only by following these norms and laws can society develop in a peaceful environment.

Specific to a certain enterprise, a certain company, or a certain team, in order to better develop and protect the common interests of everyone, some regulations and rules will be formulated to require the behavior of employees.Don't think that this is a restriction and deprivation of employees' freedom. Only under such an order can each employee gain their own freedom and will not be violated by others.

This mature order is the expression of civilization and the protection of individual freedom.

6 Understand the "sacred" organizational principles
The society of wolves is very rule-based, ranging from eating and peeing to mating and reproducing.The alpha wolf is allowed to lift his leg while urinating, but the other wolves are not allowed.If other wolves dare to disobey this "sacred" law, the alpha wolf will rush up and kill the "disobedient" without hesitation.The reason why wolves do this is to let every member of the population understand the truth of "being" a wolf.

As the saying goes, there is a way to steal.Wolves also have wolf ways.People need to be more humane.Humanity here means that we must first understand the principles of life.

Since human beings stepped into the industrial age, the biggest factor for becoming a strong man has gradually shifted from virtue to personal ability.To be strong, one must possess charisma, skill, maneuvers, at least superficially tactful.This philosophy of life is best illustrated by aphorisms such as "A smile wins you more friends than a frown."Some maxims are clearly teachings of trickery or deceit, such as:
Do what you like to please others.This method of short-term gain is really not the law of human survival.

A person's success does not lie in how much wealth he has acquired, or how many officials he has become, but the most important thing is a person's moral cultivation.Character is called the foundation of the soul.Loving, just, creative behavior, and all other virtues fundamentally express our spirituality.Morality consists of principles and values ​​that give direction, meaning, and content to our lives.Character constitutes your conscience, which enables us to understand things, not just judge right from wrong according to laws or codes of conduct.

Integrity, honesty, bravery, fairness, generosity and other qualities become the primary factors for our success when we face important choices.

Many people believe that in order to become a strong person, one must rely on talent, vitality, and popularity.History has taught us that, in the long run, "who I really am" is more important than "what other people think of me."In the first 150 years of the United States, almost all stories of success and self-improvement focused on the virtues of those involved.Prominent figures such as Franklin and Jefferson have clearly emphasized that life must be based on character in order to have true achievement and satisfaction.

"Correcting others first correcting oneself" is the code of conduct of many strong people. Paying attention to self-cultivation, setting an example, and convincing others with virtue is also the way of many successful people.Regardless of whether we have become successful people or are developing towards success, "righteousness" should be the first principle that should be followed in life.

Looking at many business giants in ancient and modern China and abroad, the primary factor of success is to strictly demand themselves, establish a good image and set an example for their subordinates, so that all levels can work together, form a team spirit, and strive for progress.The power of leadership by example is great.

In modern management and leadership disciplines, many examples have mentioned the successful strategies of leadership and leadership, and one of the most important aspects is the role of leadership in leading by example and demonstration.Both employees and the led have their own thoughts. When they are working hard for their careers, they are also observing every move of the leader. Every move of the leader is related to the vital interests of the employees. No one wants to put their own The value of labor is handed over to those vulgar and immoral people for management and use.

And for those strong people who are good at setting an example and are strict with themselves, the people around them are unified and respond to everyone, so it is said that the road to success is blazed by themselves.

Pay attention to morality and correct yourself.In the modern life mode of feasting and debauchery, there are many small fortunes that change immediately; those who have achieved a little lose their integrity, their morality is degraded, and there are so many people who fall into the water one after another. These have to attract the attention of those who aspire to become strong.Leading by example will also guide the improvement of the overall quality of employees. Many subordinates of leaders with noble personalities often follow the leader's behavior style.

The act of unifying the style of doing things often produces satisfactory results.

Self-cultivation does not matter age, you can start at any time, the key is to know how to extend yourself to others.From the point of view of empathizing with others, the victory of the ego must first be achieved before the victory of the ego can be achieved.Keeping promises to self and to others is ego victory.This type of commitment may seem insignificant, but it is a variety of choices that we face all the time in our daily lives.The first step in self-cultivation is to have the courage to face choices, make up your mind and stick to it.Day after day, you are more and more able to keep your promises, and your "morality account" will also "deposit" more and more.What took a lot of effort at first gradually became a habit.If you are used to cultivating your character from the small things in life, you will have more power to build the perseverance to deal with big things in the future.

Keeping promises requires learning to be patient.For example: Most people are distressed because they can't achieve their goals, and most of them are eager to win.They forget that good things ultimately belong to those with patience and perseverance.

After a young customer took away the goods, he found that he had taken two more goods when he kept the warehouse clearance list.After the manager learned about it, he didn't send anyone to look for the young man at that time, because he knew that the young man might come again.Sure enough, the young man came to the company the next day: due to the carelessness of the porter, he packed two more pieces of goods, and they will bring them back when he comes to pick up the goods next time.

The cargo clerk asked the manager, "How do you know that he will return Dora's goods?" "I saw his honest eyes," the manager said, "I have been in the mall for so many years, and I can understand the sincerity in his eyes." , and this young man will have a successful career in the future, although I don’t know any information about him, including address, contact method, etc., but his frank and straightforward eyes tell me that he is a trustworthy person.”

The young man was Napoleon Hill, and the manager was Andrew Carnegie, Hill's career mentor.

It can be seen that the morality of "honesty" is the paving stone for success. With integrity as the cornerstone, the road of life will be unimpeded.With hypocrisy as the cornerstone, life will slide—until it collapses.

As long as we have integrity in our hearts, no matter the dangers and difficulties, our road will be full of sunshine, and we will not be too tired on the successful journey.Therefore, success in life is based on virtue, and it is impossible to achieve the greatest success by being cunning for a while.
