It's not that there is no opportunity, but that there is no ability
Conscientiously and diligently complete their own work, and constantly make breakthroughs in their work, opportunities will inevitably come. On the contrary, if you lack a basic sense of responsibility and an enterprising attitude when you do your job, you are doomed to always be a failure. It's important to remember: the best people are strong!
Many people always like to complain about God's injustice, complain that they have no talents, fail to make the best use of their talents, and even do not want to forge ahead, give up on themselves, and finally become the obsolete products of the times. As the saying goes, "Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line", why can an ordinary piece of iron become a sharp blade in the hands of some blacksmiths, but in the hands of others, it can only become a hoe in the hands of farmers? The answer is very simple, the former is proficient in his own industry and constantly tempers his professional skills; The latter does not want to make progress, and only seeks to make a living in a hurry.
Dale Carnegie once said, "Instead of complaining that others don't value us, we should reflect on ourselves and constantly improve our abilities." "If we can meet the seemingly boring career with full enthusiasm, meticulous attitude, and enterprising spirit in our own field, I believe you will be able to realize the value of your life, and you will be able to obtain glory and affirmation. Years ago, a college student was sent to Nova Scotia to conduct a survey. The land is very barren, full of granite and pebbles, and the work can only be carried out on foot. There is almost no fertile land and precious timber here, and at first glance it is not worth the painstaking exploration, because there seems to be little prospect of development. Obviously, this young man faced a series of trials, but he always stood by the principles and did his best to do it.
Even 10 years ago, there were only 26 people living in the 1,550-square-mile area surveyed. Shortly thereafter, gold was discovered there, an important vein lead that led to the realization that a successful finding of gold required precise surveys by investigators. Later, experts continued to explore on the results already achieved by the youth, and they continued to experiment and experiment to determine the exact location of the gold veins. After they had done this work with great care, the best surveyors of the government declared that there was no need for us to do this work anymore, because every conclusion that the young man had made in this regard was of the highest level.
Do you want to know about the young college student's life after carefully investigating Nova Scotia? He was William Dawson, now a professor at McGill University in Montreal. Because of his meticulous work, he has achieved great success in life. To do something, you need technology; And trying to make it perfect is an art.
James Clark, the famous American success guru, once said: "What follows is the method of cultivating human imagination." First of all, learn to appreciate the beauty of the sky, the earth, and the sea, the beauty of the spirit and the body, the beauty of life and behavior, the beauty of society and art, all of which originate from God. We also need to learn to create beauty. We have to strive for perfection in all aspects of life, and we must persevere in learning to think more carefully, express ourselves more rigorously, live more authentically, and accomplish everything brilliantly. ”
There is a famous saying: "If you want to do well, you must start well and finish well." "It takes a long time and a lot of effort to get a job done. Only by being responsible for the work can an ordinary worker become an expert. Whether it is for the boss or for ordinary employees, they should be loyal to their duties, complete their jobs efficiently, and do their best to do it well.
If a person is so-so and half-heartedly facing life, then he will be abandoned by life. Society demands that we do things better. When more talented people appear, those who are lazy, perfunctory, and absent-minded can only be eliminated. Do our best, this is what the world expects of us, this is what society requires of us, and this is our loyalty to ourselves.
Georges Elliott aptly expresses this idea in his poem "The Violin of Stradiriva". The poem describes a violin maker who has made some violins that are more than 200 years old and are still worth as much as $5,000 or $10,000. If measured in gold, it is worth several times its own weight.
No matter what kind of situation we are in, no matter how trivial the cause we are engaged in, once we undertake it, we must do it fine and do it well, which is the criterion of survival. You must know that only those who are careful and diligent in small things can be entrusted with important tasks; Only those who do their best to devote themselves to their work and constantly surpass and improve their own abilities can achieve something and further develop and improve themselves.
Human strength and talent can only be developed through continuous use. If you're only putting in half the effort and you're satisfied, you're wasting the other half of your talent. If you think you can do something more important, and your work is insignificant at this stage, then you don't have to be sad and upset about it at all. You have to know that if you have extraordinary talents and excellent qualities, no matter how humble your status, you will one day get ahead.
