Value doesn't need to be proven by whining

- "The Lost Classic of Getting Rich"

A painter sent one of his excellent works to the gallery for display. He put a pen in an ingenious way, and added: "If the viewer thinks that this painting is not good, please mark it on the painting. "As a result, the screen was full of marks, and there was almost no place that was not accused.Some friends were worried that he would be hit because of this, so they persuaded and encouraged him one after another.But he didn't seem to be affected much, he just smiled lightly.

A few days later, the artist drew the same painting and put it on display, and also put a pen, but this time the postscript was different from the last time. Mark them all.When he took back the painting, he saw that the painting was covered with marks again, and the place where he was accused was replaced with a mark of praise.

For the same painting, different people have different evaluations on it.The same is true for people. Not everyone can see the ability and value of others. Therefore, when other people's evaluations or the progress of things do not match our expectations, don't be blindly pessimistic, and don't be disappointed in yourself. Be like the story in the story. Just like a good painter, as long as you have enough self-confidence, you will be able to find a way to prove your worth and find a way to solve problems.

Everyone has potential, it's just untapped.So, don't complain because of temporary frustration, let alone envy other people's luck.If you are a pearl, even if you are imprisoned in a hard shell, you will be discovered sooner or later; but if you are just a grain of sand, even on the beach under the sun, you will not attract the slightest attention from others .

After graduating from Stanford University, John entered a small accounting company. Every day, he was engaged in simple work like all new recruits.He often has a feeling of being underappreciated, because he is not reused, he is sad all day long, and he keeps complaining to his relatives and friends around him.

One day, John finally couldn't bear the resentment in his heart and went to question God: "Why is fate so unfair to me?"

God was silent, picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the pile of rocks calmly.God said to John: "Please use your talents and wisdom to find back the stone I just threw away!"

John rummaged through the pile of rocks, but failed. He said dissatisfiedly, "You haven't answered my question yet!"

This time, God frowned. He walked up to John, took off the ring from John's hand, and threw it into the pile of rocks again.Surprised and angry, John quickly ran to the stone pile without waiting for God to speak. This time, he quickly found the shining golden ring.

John walked up to God angrily, but God said this before he could speak: "Are you that pebble or this ring?"

Looking at the smiling God, John suddenly realized: when he was just a pebble instead of a piece of gleaming gold, he should never complain that fate was unfair to him.

When we complain about the injustice of reality because of failure, first ask ourselves whether it is stone or gold.Some people tend to overestimate themselves. Once they suffer setbacks, they will feel that they are underappreciated, so they may turn to the other extreme: underestimate themselves.Neither mentality is correct.

The correct method should be to accurately locate and evaluate one's own abilities, to affirm one's own strengths, to make up for one's own deficiencies, not to be discouraged by temporary setbacks, and not to be proud of temporary successes.Once you have correctly recognized your own value, please guard your ideals calmly, confidently, and firmly. As long as you believe in it, it can be realized.Don't forget to cheer yourself up all the time, and soon you will find that things that were originally elusive have become within reach.

Value never needs to be proved by complaints. Only by conquering oneself first can one be able to conquer others and make others trust themselves.A writer once said: "Convincing yourself is a kind of intellectual victory; being moved by yourself is a kind of sublimation of the soul; conquering yourself is a kind of maturity in life. Most people who persuade , People who have touched and conquered themselves have the power to conquer all setbacks, pains and misfortunes." So, when you want to prove your ability to the world, please let yourself believe that you are a truly powerful person. A person, not a "complainer".
