Do it and you can beat procrastination

Chapter 25
Everyone should bravely take responsibility in life, and learn to say: "I was wrong, but I promise to correct it next time!" Even if it is not your fault sometimes, you should express the trouble it caused Sorry and sympathy, and corrected.Only in this way can we win the respect and trust of others.

3. Take responsibility for your commitments
In daily work, some people often make hasty promises to others; but after making the promise, they find that it takes a lot of courage and great difficulty to realize the promise.As a result, some people choose to break their promises, or simply ignore them, which will greatly reduce their credibility.

In fact, it is wrong to do so.A person should keep his word, and do his best to fulfill the things he promises to others and the promises he makes. Even if there are some things that he is unwilling to do, he must do so, because doing so is responsible to others and to himself.

4. Realize that being responsible is a shortcut to promotion

In this day and age, some people have the habit of being free, uninhibited, and irresponsible.They don't realize that only a sense of responsibility can realize personal value, and only those who are brave enough to be responsible will be valued and promoted by others.

If you can realize that the courage to be responsible is a shortcut to promotion and reuse, I believe that more people will join the ranks.

The Art of Dragging: 4 Principles When Taking Responsibility

In the company, not only the leaders have to take responsibility, but every ordinary employee also has to take responsibility.Taking responsibility for your work is the only way to succeed.When taking responsibility, what issues need to be paid attention to, and what are the principles of responsibility?
Generally speaking, there are 4 principles of being responsible.

1. Don't take yourself lightly

I am born to be useful, everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, everyone has the value of existence, everyone is a unique existence in this world, so you don't have to look up at others with envious eyes, let alone treat others Worship some of the achievements of others.Others have extraordinary wisdom, a successful career, and a prominent position, but you use your diligence and sincerity to advance step by step, looking forward to an infinitely diverse tomorrow.Eagles can fly freely in the blue sky, and bees can spread pollen to make nature colorful; diamonds are crystal clear and valuable, and gravel can also lay foundations and pave roads to create hundreds of tall buildings and flat roads.Only by valuing yourself can you feel the ordinary beauty; only by valuing yourself can you be full of self-confidence; only by valuing yourself can you reach the other side of success.

2. Improve yourself
"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." To "benefit the world", you must first "be good for yourself".Life is a process of continuous improvement. From babbling to erudition, from ignorance to worrying about the world, people are constantly learning and making progress.Americans believe that when you work, don't think that you are working for your boss, because every company may go bankrupt; don't think that you are working for your own salary, because you may be fired at any time; Become more capable yourself.Because that is your capital, because no one can steal it, that is the basis and reason for the company to hire you.This ability is the "golden rice bowl" that never depreciates.You have to improve yourself, challenge your own talents and potentials, take past achievements as a new starting point, and add a perfect landscape to your life.

3. The principle of prudence and independence
Taking responsibility takes different forms in different work situations.But first of all, you must be familiar with your job responsibilities and understand your authority.If you find anything within your job responsibilities, you must take the initiative to solve it. If you wait for the leader to arrange you to work, it will be your dereliction of duty.For example, a gardener waters and prunes regularly. These tasks are all part of his job. If you can't do it, you are dereliction of duty and you have not taken responsibility. This is a basic principle.

Whether the leader is there or not, we must be loyal to our duties.Work is to create conditions for one's own development, not to put on a show for the leader to see. There are many things that can be done without the order of the leader.In the face of these things, don’t have such an idea: "Anyway, the leader is not here, so save your energy." You must give full play to your creativity, strive to achieve amazing results, and never worry too much about whether the labor you have paid is not enough. If the remuneration is exceeded, such a person will not have a chance of promotion, even if he is talented.The ancients talked about "being cautious and independent", and required that the same be true no matter whether you are in front of or behind you. Therefore, as a truly responsible employee, you must do your best no matter whether the leader is present or not.

4. Don’t expect leaders to share responsibility with you

Some people are afraid of responsibility. They hope that the company can give them a relaxed environment, and hope that they can get clear instructions from the leader for every job. If there is a mistake in the work, the leader will take responsibility together with themselves.This kind of thinking seems to be human, but it is wrong.Employees who do not use their own brains can only exist as appendages of leaders, and are incompetent for jobs that require independent thinking.The idea of ​​modern company management is to require leaders to manage everyone's work with job responsibilities, focusing on results rather than process, which is fundamentally different from traditional command leadership.So in the new way, the instructions you get are just a goal, and the specific implementation procedures and methods must be found and accumulated by yourself, and you must develop the habit of active work.Be good at using your brain to solve your own work, and have the courage to take responsibility. Only in this way can you take on greater responsibilities and succeed.

no excuse
Sometimes, in the face of difficulties, you often shrink back because the difficulty is too great; in the face of competition, you often evade because the opponent is too strong; There are too many, and the reasons you use to escape are also too many.

When work is not going well, you often find all kinds of excuses, thinking that the leader deliberately made things difficult for you, and entrusted you with impossible tasks; you think that your recent poor health has led to your inefficiency... You want to be lazy, and you give the reason for being lazy Justification, I always think that there is still a deadline, and I will work harder tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so I might as well relax today.

Don't make excuses for your giving up, the most important thing is that you don't have strong willpower yet.Don't always complain that you don't have a chance, no one helps you, no one flatters you, no one pulls you up, no one makes you important, no one tells you the way out.If you have potential, if you're really competent, you'll make your own way when you can't find it.

Making excuses is a manifestation of insufficient execution. If you don't want to do something in your heart, you will use various excuses to deal with it.When you use excuses to deal with something that could have been done easily, success has also been blocked "outside the door" by excuses.

·Successful people never look for excuses
Successful people never make excuses.I will try my best to do what I can, and if I encounter difficulties, I will try my best to overcome them.If it is something that you cannot do, you will not deliberately force yourself, but directly express that you are powerless.They don't use excuses for what they can or can't do.Therefore, successful people are good at finding solutions when encountering problems, while only lazy people and those who don't like to use their brains and hands to do things will find all kinds of excuses and reasons.

1. Don’t make excuses for yourself
Roger is a successful man in the sports world. He has won the Olympic silver medal in the 400-meter race and the gold medal in the World Championships in the 400-meter relay race.However, his excellence and excellence are not just because of his impressive achievements. What is even more touching is that all his achievements were achieved while he was suffering from heart disease, and he was Never used illness as an excuse during the game.

Apart from his family, doctors and some friends, no one knew about his condition, and he did not release any news to the outside world.After his first silver medal, he wasn't very happy with himself.If he had honestly told people that he competed under the condition of illness, even if his sports career was halfway, he would also get people's understanding and consideration, but Roger didn't do that."I don't want to make a big deal out of highlighting my disease, and even if I fail, I don't want to use that as an excuse," he said.

Successful people do not necessarily have superhuman abilities, but they have extraordinary mentality.They can proactively create opportunities instead of using their own objective factors as an excuse to avoid difficulties and avoid problems.If you constantly make excuses for yourself, you can't get anything done, which is extremely bad for your future career.

2. One less excuse, one more aggressiveness

Jason Kidd, the NBA's 1995 rookie of the year, said of his success: "When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to bowl. or something like that, instead of looking for the reason why I didn't bowl in good faith. My father said to me, 'Stop making excuses, boy, that's not the reason. Don’t practice. If you don’t practice hard, you will still not be able to play no matter how many excuses you have in the future.” His words made me sober, and now I try to correct my shortcomings as soon as I find them, and never make excuses to prevaricate. It’s good for you.” Every time the Dallas Mavericks practice, people will always see a player running on the court for no less than an hour, practicing shooting repeatedly, and that is Jason Kidd, because he is a People looking for excuses.

He does his best in any job and never makes excuses.The old employees have gotten used to Boss Lei's style, and they don't consciously make excuses at work, and try their best to complete every task.New employees will make excuses for unfinished work at the beginning, but after a period of time, they will only talk about hard work and not make excuses just like the old employees of the company.In a few years, the company led by Boss Lei has emerged in the industry, and its market share has increased rapidly. When friends in the industry ask why his company’s performance has improved so quickly, every employee will tell him: " There is no excuse for enforcement."

Gerald is a financial officer of a company in the United States.One day, when he was working on the payroll, he set a full salary for an employee who was on sick leave, but forgot to deduct the salary for the days when he was on leave.Later, Gerald discovered the mistake, so he went to the employee and told him to deduct the extra money next month.But the employee said he was in a tight spot and asked for the installment deduction, but to do so, Gerald would have to ask his boss for instructions.

Of course, Gerald understood that he took the initiative to tell the boss about this matter, and the boss would definitely blame him, but Gerald did not evade responsibility, nor did he make up excuses or reasons to prevaricate the boss. He understood better than anyone that this matter was due to It was caused by his own work mistakes, and he was responsible for the mistakes himself, so he decided to admit his mistakes to his boss.

That's how the matter was resolved.Because Gerald had the courage to admit his mistakes, the boss valued Gerrard even more from then on.

You should have a sense of responsibility for your mistakes, and you should not evade your responsibilities because making mistakes will bring negative effects on yourself.It is difficult to make progress if you always want to find excuses for your mistakes instead of actively facing and correcting them.If you can admit your mistakes with a positive attitude, then you will succeed more quickly.

Before execution, don’t think about what excuses you can find to report to the leader if you fail, try to focus your thinking on how to execute successfully.If you fail, don't look for excuses, but look for the real reason, whether it is not enough hard work, or insufficient preparation for objective conditions.If you do this every time you execute it and persist for a period of time, the habit of making excuses for execution will become the habit of executing without excuses, and this is also a responsible attitude.
