Success means setting goals and achieving them.
There is nothing impossible in the world, only people who can't do it. If Stallone's success was due to "seeking for others with tenacity", then the success of Su Qin, a great strategist in the Warring States Period, was due to "seeking for oneself with tenacity". In order to turn the necessity of success into inevitability, his courage and determination have reached the level of self-abuse. The fame and fortune of the six countries are like floating clouds, but the spiritual perseverance of "stabbing stocks" has been passed down through the ages.
Su Qin grew up in a poor family, and food and clothing were unsustainable. Reading is naturally a luxury. In order to make a living and study, he often has to sell his hair and help others do short-term jobs. Later, he left his hometown and went to Qi State to be a teacher, learning vertical and horizontal skills from Guiguzi. After relying on academic success, Su Qin couldn't wait to tell other teachers and friends to travel around the world for fame and fortune. A year later, not only did I get nothing, but I also spent all my money. He couldn't hold on any longer and walked home in rags and sandals. Back home, Su Qin was skinny, ragged, dirty and dusty, just like a beggar. The scene of being down and out is beyond words and sympathetic. Seeing him like this, his wife shook her head and sighed and continued to knit. Sister-in-law turned away when she saw him like this, unwilling to cook; Parents, brothers and sisters not only ignored him, but also secretly laughed at him and said, "According to the tradition of Zhou people, we should be content with our own industry, work hard in industry and commerce, and earn two-tenths of the profits;" Now give up this most fundamental career and show off your breath. Really deserved it! "
This situation made Su Qin feel ashamed and sad. He closed the door and didn't want to see anyone. He made a profound reflection on himself: "My wife ignored her husband, my sister-in-law denied her brother-in-law, and my parents denied my son, all because I didn't live up to expectations, and I was eager to succeed in my studies!" (Note: He doesn't complain about others) He realized his shortcomings and was full of energy. He moved out all the books and read them again angrily. He thought: "a scholar, since he has made up his mind to bury himself in reading, can't gain a prominent position with this knowledge, so what's the use of reading so much!" " So he picked up a Yin Fu Jing from these books and studied it carefully. He studies late into the night every day, and sometimes he falls asleep unconsciously at his desk. Every time I wake up, I regret it. It's useless to scold myself, but I can't let myself fall asleep. One day, when reading was really tiring and difficult, he involuntarily threw himself on the book case, but he suddenly woke up-something stabbed his arm. When he saw an awl on the book case, he immediately thought of a way to stop dozing off: stabbing his thigh. In the future, whenever I want to doze off, I will prick my thigh with an awl to make myself suddenly "wake up in pain" and continue to study hard. So his thigh often drops blood, which is unbearable. When the family saw this scene, they couldn't bear it, and advised him to say, "Your determination and mood to succeed are understandable, but you don't have to be so masochistic!" Su Qin replied: "Don't forget the shame of the past; Only in this way can I study hard! "
After a year of "bloody" and "painful" reading, Su Qin had a lot of experience and wrote two articles, Chuai and Mo. At this time, he confidently said: "With this theory and method, many monarchs can be persuaded!" So Su Qin began to lobby the six countries with his knowledge and spiritual will, and finally gained respect, gained fame and started his brilliant political career.
Endure the humiliation that ordinary people can't bear, endure the suffering that ordinary people can't eat, and you can do what ordinary people can't. With unremitting confidence and perseverance, I touched myself, touched others and touched the gods of heaven and earth.
Einstein's revelation is E=MC2, which is the famous mass-energy formula of the great Einstein: energy is equal to the square of mass multiplied by speed. Although it is a formula of physics, it also illustrates an important "time" principle in success science. There is little difference between people in quality and ability (IQ), that is to say, "M" is basically a "constant". Therefore, the energy (success) emitted by a person depends on its speed (C).
Time is victory. The game is a quick victory, the battle is a quick fight and a slow fight, and the military strikes first. Commercial warfare has changed from "big fish eat small fish" to "fast fish eat slow fish". Taekwondo requires quick heart, quick eyes and quick hands; In a word, there are 100 solutions to China Wushu, but there will be no solution soon! Big and slow equals weak, small and fast becomes strong, big and fast Wang Zhongwang! Fast is opportunity, fast is efficiency, fast is instant "big", and countless moments constitute long-term "strong".
The essence of competition is to do the best thing in the fastest time. The greatest success in life is to accomplish the most goals in the shortest time. Quality is a "constant", which can be done well through hard work, so that it is difficult to say clearly; And time is always a "variable": there can be many first-class quality, and there is only one fastest champion-any lead is the lead of time! We are slow, not because we are unhappy, but because our opponents are faster. Akio Morita said, "If you lag behind others by half a step every day, it will be 183 steps after one year and 108,000 miles after ten years."
On the African prairie, one morning, just as dawn broke through the night sky, an antelope suddenly woke up from sleep. "Run!" It thought, "If it is slow, it may be eaten by a lion!" " "So he got up and ran towards the sun." "Run," thought the lion. Slow down and you may starve to death! "So he got up and ran to the sun. Whoever wins quickly, whoever lives quickly. One is the king of beasts in nature, and the other is an antelope that eats grass. They have different ranks and strengths, but they face the same problem in survival-if the antelope is fast, the lion will starve to death; If the lion runs fast, the antelope will be eaten.
When Dambert developed the telephone, another man named Gray was also studying the telephone. Two breakthroughs were made at the same time. But Bell won in the patent office-Bigret was two hours ahead of schedule. Of course, they didn't know each other at that time, but Bell became famous in one fell swoop because of 120 minutes, which made him famous all over the world and also gained great wealth. Whoever is quick wins the opportunity and whoever is quick wins the wealth. Whether it's only 0. 1mm or 0. 1 sec-a millimeter difference, a world difference!
In competitive promotion, the difference between champion and runner-up is sometimes too small to be judged by the naked eye. For example, in sprint, the gap between the first place and the second place is sometimes only 0.0 1 second; Another example is horse racing. The difference between the first horse and the second horse is only half a horse's nose (a few centimeters) ... but the honor and wealth won by the champion and runner-up are far from each other. The eyes of the whole world will only focus on the first place. The champion is the real winner. Behind the first place are losers. The "quantity" of time will not change. But the quality is different. A second at a critical moment is worth millions.
Don't wait, time is indispensable for teenagers; Time is irreplaceable; Time cannot be stored; Time cannot be increased or decreased; But time can be managed.
There is a famous saying that "time treats everyone equally, but the value of time in everyone's hands is different", which is "time management".
Huxley, a defender of Darwin and a British biologist, put it more vividly: "Time is the most unbiased, and it is twenty-four hours for anyone; Time is also the most private, not anyone's 24 hours. " Time is life and time is money. However, people often attach importance to life and are willing to manage money, but ignore time management. There are two manifestations of wasting time: first, because there is no sense of urgency about life, insufficient attention to time, failure to form a good habit of doing things right away, and always putting off today's things until tomorrow, so that "tomorrow is tomorrow, and there will be many tomorrow; Tomorrow will never come. The world will be tired tomorrow, and it will go to Qiu Lai as a veteran in spring. Laziness, procrastination, wasted my beautiful years and idled my youth; The second manifestation of wasting time is that there are no scientific methods and skills to manage time, inefficient repetitive work, shallow final results, and even "exhausted." "In most cases, time is wasted minute by minute, not an entire hour. If there is a small hole in the bottom of the bucket, the water will leak out quickly, and the result is the same as deliberately pouring water. Time slips away (is wasted) from "small" places.
The carriage of the god of time roared by, and before we knew it, our foreheads had left a mark. Someone once counted the time distribution of an American who lived to be 72 years old: sleeping for 265,438+0 years, working for 65,438+04 years, personal hygiene for 7 years, eating for 6 years, traveling for 6 years, queuing for 5 years, studying for 4 years, meeting for 3 years, calling for 2 years and looking for trouble for 65,438+0 years. In the other 3 years, we can't turn back the clock or slow it down, but we can control its "flow direction". Through time management, let time flow to more meaningful places.
