Chapter 124: Nine Dragons Flying in the Sky (3)
The quiet and peaceful farm, the unique learning conditions, the internal quality of Wuwei has been rapidly improved. Wu Wei spent half of his time studying "Zhou Yi", half of his time practicing Tai Chi, and the good foundation laid since he was a child made Wu Wei's progress rapid, and his three-month training achievements exceeded that of one year, and Wu Wei was surprised by the changes in his heart and body.
Zhou Gong saw all the changes in Jiang Wuwei in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and at the same time marveled at Wuwei's ingenuity, which made sense at all, and what pleased him the most was that the secret hidden in his heart for many years had finally found someone to entrust.
After the three-month training, Zhou Gong called Jiang Wuwei into his study again, looked at him with satisfaction and said: "Wuwei, I can see that you have worked very hard during this time, I told you before the training started, there are three aspects of learning content, and now I will talk to you about the third content." Before the training began, I summarized the training content for you in six words: cultivating the mind, cultivating the body, and aspiring. Some time ago, the purpose of your study and training was to cultivate the mind and body, and today I will talk to you about aspiration. ”
"Before we left Las Vegas, Robert had talked to me about personal goals, but it was very shallow, and I didn't think it would be the last time we talked about life. Master, is there a connection between the determination and the goal you said?" Hearing the master say the question of determination, Jiang Wuwei suddenly thought about Haosheng, and Haosheng had mentioned it many times in this regard.
"There is a connection but not exactly the same, Wuwei, I remember when we met for the first time, you said to me that you want to become the world gambling king, in fact, this can only be regarded as a phased goal, what I want to talk to you today is about the ultimate goal of a person. ”
"The ultimate goal, what is the ultimate goal?" Jiang Wuwei asked curiously.
"There is a saying in China that those who have no ambition are always determined, and those who have ambition are ambitious. The ambition mentioned here is the ambition, that is, the goal of life. People should not be without goals, and without goals they will become arrows without goals. Therefore, it is very important to establish one's own development goals, but if a person only has small, phased goals, when these goals are achieved, he will be useless, lose the direction of progress, and he will quickly retreat, which is also the main reason why some people do not develop after achieving a certain success. ”
"Yes, I felt this way after winning the World Series of Poker Championship, when I suddenly felt like I had lost my goal and felt a little dazed. All the energy in preparing for the tournament is focused on this, and when you succeed, there is nothing to do. Jiang Wuwei said with deep feelings.
Zhou Gong looked at Wuwei and continued: "As long as a person has the right method, the goals he has set can be achieved, if you regard the realization of the goal as success, then after achieving the goal, you will feel complacent, once a person is complacent, there will be two manifestations: one is fluttering, not knowing who he is, which is the most dangerous." The second is to stop, after you are complacent, you will lose the motivation to move forward. Mr. Crocker, the founder of McDonald's, once said, 'If you are young, you will grow, and if you are ripe, you will rot.' There's only one way to solve this problem, and that's to set your ultimate goal. ”
"Master, what kind of ultimate goal should I establish? I still don't quite understand, can you explain it in detail?" Jiang Wuwei had an intuition, the master would never say this to himself without purpose, although he didn't know what to say, but it must have deep meaning.
"Wuwei, in fact, each of us regards success, wealth, happiness and other things as our goals, which is not wrong, the key is how to pursue and achieve these goals. Do you know why so many people struggle to achieve the success, wealth, and happiness they want in their lifetimes?"
Wuwei shook his head honestly, "I don't know? Maybe their fate is not good." ”
"Fate is the same for everyone, and I will illustrate it with the example of making money, which is a concern for everyone. Many people are always digging out ways to make money, blindly thinking about how to make money from others, such a person will never know that it is his kind of thinking that makes him get nothing and get into trouble. The easiest way to make money is to get out of the house, look around, ask what people need, and you can get rewarded by providing services that meet people's needs. Henry Ford said: 'Service precedes profit, and profit must come on good service.' It is not surprising that a producer produces for the sake of providing services, that is, for the benefit of the people, then his wealth is lucrative. Committing to serving others will bring you unexpected luck, and taking responsibility for serving others will allow you to realize the value of your life. The rewards you get in life are always equal to your service, the value you create for others. You get what you give, and if you want to increase the quantity and quality of what you get in return, you have to improve the quantity and quality of your service to others. Someone once asked Einstein what he would do if he didn't do scientific research, 'Of course it's in the service of mankind,' and Einstein said without thinking......"
"I understand what the master means, you mean that I should set up the ultimate goal of serving others. Wuwei suddenly realized.
"Yes, Wuwei, once you take 'serving others' as your ultimate goal, then you have the key to open the door to success, wealth, and happiness. ”
Wu Wei finally understood the true intention of the master's conversation with him today, and the master was teaching him how to achieve success and happiness on the road of life in the future.
Zhou Gong saw that Wuwei quickly understood what he meant, so he continued: "The core of serving others is to give generously, and generous giving is giving without asking for anything in return. Many people always make the mistake of thinking that how much they give for others is how much they should get in return from others. But in real life it rarely happens. When you give generously to others money, possessions, affection, the recipient is rarely the one who reciprocates it. However, you will get unexpected rewards from other times, places, and others that are beyond what you have paid. Anything is like this, you want to get it, you have to pay first, this is a very simple truth, but such a simple question, but it has troubled many people, even their whole lives. If you want to have a rich, happy and happy life, then please take serving others as your life goal, put pay in the first place of your values, you will find a new life road paved in front of you, there are no more difficulties on your way forward, there are countless opportunities waiting for you, and countless people will help you. While serving others, you also achieve your own goals......"
Hearing Zhou Gong talk about these contents, Jiang Wuwei suddenly couldn't help but say: "Mentor Ouyang Mingbo mentioned these words from the master in the suicide note he left me. ”
"Oh, what did he say?" Zhou Gong asked curiously.
"Teacher Ouyang told me two truths in his suicide note, one is about archaeology, and the other is about being a human being. He said that as those of us who are engaged in archaeology, we should believe that any legend (including mythology) has a certain source of fact, which is why I have been looking for and researching the treasure of King Chuang. Another is to firmly believe that the world is always balanced, and any effort will eventually be rewarded, although the reward is not necessarily when you give, the return may be delayed, and it will come in a way you don't expect. ”
Hearing Jiang Wuwei say this, Zhou Gong looked out the window, as if he was caught in the memories of the past, and said to himself: "It seems that we all remember what the teacher said." ”
Of course, Jiang Wuwei understood the meaning of Zhou Gong's words, but he didn't make a sound, just looked at the master quietly, he knew that the master would explain the truth to him sooner or later......
