Volume 2 Chapter 2 Start with the end: the value standard should be based on the ultimate vision [-]
You are the programmer of your own life
If you can't turn your back on yourself and blindly hope that the external environment will change to achieve your personal wishes, it is tantamount to letting others manipulate you.

-- "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"

Everyone has a special mission or responsibility, and others cannot do it for them. Everyone needs to discover rather than invent their own life mission.Life can be programmed, like a computer, or it can be digitized in order to accomplish tasks precisely.But the question is, are you a good programmer?Can you program yourself to be happy?Can you create a wonderful digital life?
In fact, everyone has this ability, but this can not be realized with a great ideal, but also requires a detailed life plan.This plan needs to be based on the most fundamental desire in your heart, and it must be realistic and operable. In addition, you must put it into action.

This is more than half a century ago, a 15-year-old kid in the suburbs of Los Angeles who aspired to become an explorer drew up the "Lifetime Volunteer" for himself. This American kid is named John Goddard.In this form, he listed 127 goals, the above is only part of them.

When John solemnly wrote his dream on paper, he began to implement it step by step: he drifted the entire Colorado River; he and his companions inspected the entire Congo River; The man whose enemy's head was a trophy lived with cannibals; he climbed Mount Ararat and Kilimanjaro; he flew jet fighters at twice the speed of sound...

John achieved his goals one by one according to the plan.By the age of 49, he had accomplished 127 of 106 goals, earning just about every accolade an explorer can have.Moreover, he is still working hard for the unfinished goal.

John Goddard is not only a successful programmer who has designed all the steps according to the ideal of becoming an "explorer", he is also an efficient executor, turning the goal into reality with practical actions.

The design and execution of the life program is consistent, and any step that is missing will lead to disorder in life.The completion of all things has to go through two layers of transformation, the mind and the reality, that is, the process from planning to action.A plan is a long-term design drawing. With a plan, there will be a clear direction for doing things. A car heading to a distant place will have a map, an airplane will have a route, and a ship will have a beacon.If you can have a firm belief, a sound plan, and decisive action, one day you will find that you are the one who has gone the farthest on the road to success.

Don't be a "button" person who entrusts the goal and direction of action to the design or guidance of others, but to be a person who can control himself, ask himself instead, and improve his life through self-regulation.

The process of designing a life program will inevitably encounter obstacles, because there are many uncertain changes in life, either man-made or unsolvable; just like the BUG (error) in the program, either due to carelessness or inherent limitations, insurmountable.But there is no need to worry about it, because the life plan is not achieved overnight, it is a process of continuous accumulation.Every adjustment and improvement is like a milestone and a stop on the journey of success in life.Every "site" is an evaluation, a comfort, an encouragement, and a cheer.
