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 benefited from "asking for help with tenacity", then the success of Su Qin, a great strategist in the Warring States Period, benefited from "asking for himself 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 have gone like floating clouds, but the spiritual perseverance of "awl thorn stocks" has been passed down through the ages.
Su Qin's family was poor since childhood, and it was difficult to get enough food and clothing, so it was naturally a luxury to study. In order to make a living and study, he often had to sell his hair and help others with short-term jobs. Later, he left his hometown and went to Qi to study as a teacher, learning vertical and horizontal skills from Guiguzi. Su Qin, after relying on his academic success, couldn't wait to tell other teachers and friends and travel around the world in order to seek fame and fortune. A year later, not only did I get nothing, but I also ran out of money. Unable to hold on any longer, he walked home in rags and sandals. When I got home, Su Qin was skinny, tattered and dirty, with a dusty face, 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 weave. Sister-in-law saw him like this and turned away, unwilling to cook; Parents, brothers and sisters not only ignored him, but also laughed at him secretly and said, "According to the tradition of Zhou people, we should be content with our own industry and work hard in industry and commerce to earn two-tenths of the profits;" Now it's good to give up this most fundamental career and show off your breath. It really serves you right! "
This situation makes Su Qin feel ashamed and sad. He closed the door and didn't want to see anyone. He made a profound introspection on himself: "My wife ignored her husband, my sister-in-law denied brother in law, and my parents denied my son, all because I failed to live up to expectations and I was eager to succeed in my studies!" (Note: he doesn't complain about others) He realized his own shortcomings, revived his spirit, 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 his studies, can't gain a distinguished position with these knowledge, so what's the use of reading more books!" So, he picked up a Yin Fu Jing from these books and studied it carefully. He studies until late at night every day, and sometimes he falls asleep unconsciously on his desk. Every time I wake up, I regret it and scold myself for being useless, but there is nothing I can do to keep myself from falling asleep. One day, when reading was really tiring and difficult, he threw himself on the book case involuntarily, but he suddenly woke up-something stabbed him in the arm. At first glance, there was an awl on the book case, and he immediately thought of a way to stop dozing off: stabbing the thigh. Whenever I want to doze off in the future, I will prick my thigh with an awl to make myself suddenly "wake up in pain" and keep studying hard. Therefore, his thighs are often dripping with blood, which is unbearable. When the family saw this, they couldn't bear it, and advised him, "Your determination and mood to succeed are understandable, but you don't have to be so masochistic!" Su Qin replied: "If you don't, you will forget the shame of the past; Only in this way can I study hard! "
after a bloody year of "painful" reading, Su Qin had a lot of experience and wrote two articles, "chuai" and "mo". At this time, he said confidently, "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, became famous and started his brilliant political career.
endure the humiliation that ordinary people can't bear, and suffer what ordinary people can't eat, and you will be able to do what ordinary people can't do. With unremitting confidence and perseverance, I moved myself, moved others, and moved the gods and spirits of heaven and earth.
Einstein's enlightenment to us 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 principle of "time" in success science. The difference between people in quality and ability (IQ) is very small, which means that "M" is basically a "constant". Therefore, the energy (success) emitted by people depends on its speed (C).
time is victory. The competition is to win quickly, the fighting is to fight fast and slow, and the military strikes first. The commercial war 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, Chinese martial arts has a hundred solutions, but there is no solution if it is quick! 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 achieve the most goals in the shortest time. Quality is a "constant", which can be done well through hard work, so that it is hard to tell; 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 18, miles after ten years."
On the African prairie, one morning, just as the dawn broke through the night sky, an antelope suddenly woke up from sleep. "Run quickly!" It thought, "if it is slow, it may be eaten by a lion!" " So, I got up and ran, running towards the sun. "Run quickly," thought the lion. "If you slow down, you may starve to death!" So he got up and ran, and ran to the sun. Whoever is fast will win, and whoever is fast will survive. One is the king of beasts in nature, and the other is the herbivorous antelope. They are different in rank and strength, but they face the same problem in survival-if the antelope is fast, the lion will starve to death; If the lion is fast, the antelope will be eaten.
While Bell was developing the telephone, another man named Gray was also studying it. Two breakthroughs at the same time. But Bell won in the patent office-Bigret was two hours early. Of course, the two of them didn't know each other at that time, but Bell became famous in one fell swoop because of 12 minutes, which made him famous all over the world, and at the same time he gained great wealth. Whoever is quick wins the opportunity and whoever is quick wins the wealth. No matter whether the difference is only .1 mm or .1 second-a difference of a millimeter, a world of difference!
In competitive promotion, the difference between a champion and a runner-up is sometimes too small to be judged by the naked eye. For example, in sprint, the difference between the first place and the second place is sometimes only .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) ... However, 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. Those 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 thousands of dollars.
Don't be idle, it's indispensable for teenagers to spend their first time; 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 people equally, but the value of time in everyone's hands is different", which means "time management".
British biologist Huxley, a defender of Darwin, put it more vividly: "Time is the most unfair, and it is twenty-four hours for anyone; Time is also the most private, and it is not 24 hours for anyone. " Time is life and time is money. However, people often attach importance to life and are willing to manage money, but neglect time management. There are two manifestations of wasting time: first, because there is no sense of urgency about life and insufficient attention to time, I fail to form the good habit of doing things right away, and I always put off today's things until tomorrow, so that "tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be many tomorrows; Tomorrow never comes. The world is tired by tomorrow, and it will go to Qiu Lai to be a veteran in spring. Lazy, procrastinating, wasting my beautiful years, idling away my youth; The second manifestation of wasting time is that there are no scientific methods and skills to manage time, inefficient repetitive work, and ultimately the results are shallow, or even "exhausted." In most cases, time is wasted minute by minute, not the whole 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 intentionally dumping the water. Time slips away (is wasted) from the "small" place.
The carriage of the God of Time whizzed by, and before we knew it, our foreheads had already left marks. Someone once counted the time distribution of an American who lived to 72 years old: sleeping for 21 years, working for 14 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, making phone calls for 2 years, looking for things for 1 year, and 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.
