It's not that you can't do it, it's that it's not practical
Career success and work attitude are like the body and wheels, if you don't let the wheels hit the ground, the car will never go far away. Detached from reality, we can only live in the unreal, we cannot be down-to-earth, we can only float in the air, and all lofty goals are just mirages. Sometimes, it may seem like an overnight success for some people, but if you look closely at their history of struggle, their success is no accident – they have already put in a lot of effort and laid a solid foundation.
Will we be like this? ——As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I thought about "taking charge of the handsome seal"; When I first started my business, I wanted to be rich in the world. For small things, we disdain to do it, a blockbuster, shaking the world is our "ideal". If we want to start from the bottom, how can this be true! That's Qu Cai, it's a leader who has no eyes and is overkill! Why can't I get results? It's because I was born at the wrong time, because I don't have Bole appreciation! But have we ever calmed down and wondered what we have done? The answer is – no!
So, do we always feel that we are superior to others, do we always feel that we are better than others everywhere? What can anyone do? - We are unwilling and reluctant, because "the husband is in the world, he should sweep the world and settle the house"? We are passionate and ambitious, but the boss is not small but still has nothing to do, so we cry out in vain: "Oh! The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper! However, have we thought carefully about where the root of this "life is thinner than paper"? The answer is still – no work!
Do we often complain like this: "Isn't it a waste of life to do trivial things every day, annoying to death?" Shall my precious youth be wasted in these little things? The answer is likely to be – yes!
If all of the above has happened to us, and even continues to do so, then unfortunately we are suffering from a stubborn disease called "Ambitious"!
If anyone is infected with this virus, then his soul will inevitably be violated, and he will even think that life can go straight to the end without going through the process, not from the vulgar to the elegant, to abandon the small and go straight to the vast, to skip the near and go straight to the distance. This will directly lead him to make big mistakes in life operations, and even fall on his heels!
So, let's briefly analyze the causes of this stubborn disease. It begins with arrogance and becomes frivolous in the world. In other words, our excessively high mental nature causes us to have a wrong understanding of ourselves and reality, so we blindly think that we are the material for doing great things, and that we should only do great things. Then, we began to wait for the opportunity to do great things, but we don't know how many springs and autumns we waited. Slowly, we found that everything around us seemed to be changing, the former colleague has now become the boss, and the once poor boy has now achieved a successful career...... And the only thing that remains unchanged is our own mind, and we are still proudly waiting, but I don't know how many more years we have to wait...... This is the root of our unsuccess!
If we want to change this, there is only one medicine available – to be grounded.
A philosopher once said, "Aiming too high will lead to great failure in life, but being down-to-earth will make it easier to achieve the future." Many times we mistakenly think of "ambitious" as "ambitious", but this is not the case. It is true that they are both a kind of yearning and longing for life, and the difference between the two lies in whether they can make enough efforts to achieve their goals in a down-to-earth manner. We all have this experience when we are toddlers, and if we try to run when we are unsteady, we will inevitably fall on our heels. In fact, the same is true for walking on the road of life, only by managing every link in a down-to-earth manner can we ensure that the edifice of life will not overturn. The road signs always point ahead, but the road ahead is under our feet, and only by taking every step can we go more steadily and further.
In fact, from small individuals to large companies and enterprises, their successful development comes from ordinary accumulation. Therefore, please do not take any of the so-called small things lightly, because no one can reach the sky in one step. When we take everything seriously and do everything well, we will find that our life path is getting wider and wider, and the opportunities for success will follow.
If people can do things wholeheartedly, there is nothing bad in the world. The things talked about here include big things and small things, and the so-called big things and small things are just relative. Many times, small things are not necessarily really small, big things are not necessarily really big, big things and small things can be very related, and small things add up to big things. The key lies in the cognitive ability of the doer. We are bent on doing big things, and we often sneer at small things and disdain them, but in fact, we may not even be able to do small things well, and what success do we talk about?
The philosophers often taught us not to take the good as small and do not do it, and do not take the evil as small. This is because the sages understood that "the spirit can be seen in the subtleties of the little things." If you have the spirit of doing small things, you will have the courage to do big things." So don't underestimate doing small things, and don't hate doing small things. As long as it is beneficial to the work and the cause, we can use small things to build the edifice of the cause and the Great Wall of life.
In fact, many small things are not small, and the idea that small things can be ignored and ignored will only cause us to miss many opportunities. There was a small clerk at Standard Oil in the United States, and his name was "Archibald". When he went on a business trip, he would write under his signature "Standard oil for $4 per barrel" at every hotel, and it was no exception on letters and receipts. As a result, he was called "$4 a barrel" by his colleagues, and his real name was no longer called.
Rockefeller, the chairman of the company, found out about this and said, "There are employees who work so hard to promote the company? I want to see him. So Rockefeller invited Archibald to dinner.
Later, Rockefeller stepped down, and Archibald became the second chairman. Perhaps in the eyes of most of us, Archibalt's signature "$4 per barrel of standard oil" is such a small thing that some would even laugh at him. But Archibald did this little thing, and insisted on doing it to the extreme. Among those who laughed at him, there must have been many people whose talents and abilities were above him, but in the end, he became the chairman. A person's success is sometimes purely accidental, but who dares to say that it is not an inevitability?
Progress requires little bit of effort, just as "Rome was not made in a day", and every major achievement is the result of a series of small achievements. And many times, the mistake of our life lies in being too ambitious and unrealistic, detached from reality and detached from ourselves, and we are always unaccustomed to this and that. Or we think that everything around us is difficult for us, or we disdain everything around us, we can't face ourselves, and we don't have self-knowledge. In fact, we should weigh how much ability we have, how much ability we have, know what flaws we have, and don't use our own strengths to be shorter than others.
