Chapter 4 The higher the ideal, the greater the achievement
Recently, I was chatting with a recruiter at a larger company.
She said she spends about four months a year at the university to recruit graduating college students to participate in the company's junior agency program.
I could tell from her conversation that she was disappointed with the attitude of many of them.
"For a long time, I met with eight to 12 people a day," she said. They are all at the top of their class and are interested in working in our company. One of the main purposes of the meeting is to understand their aspirations and motivations, to find out how big of a project they can take on in a few years, and how big a company or branch they can manage. In other words, whether they can make a substantial contribution to the company. ”
"I would say that I'm not happy with the goals of most of them. You may be surprised," she continued.
"There are so many young people in their 20s who are more interested in retirement planning than anything else that we propose. The first question they are interested in is whether the job is highly volatile? ”
"Most people seem to equate 'success' with 'security'," she added. Can we risk handing over the company to such a person? ”
"I wonder why today's young people are so conservative. Why is the field of vision so narrow? There are so many opportunities for expansion every day. Our country is moving forward at a record pace in science and industry, and if there is any reason to be optimistic about our situation, it should be now. ”
There are so many people who seem mediocre and broken.
This tendency suggests that there is a lot more competition to get a satisfying job than you might think.
When it comes to success, it is not measured by a person's height, weight, degree, family background, but by the size of the ideological ambition.
The size of the ambition determines the size of the achievement.
Now, let's see how we can expand our thinking.
Constantly asking myself, "What is my biggest weakness?" ”
Probably the greatest weakness of human beings is self-deprecation, i.e., "underestimating oneself." “
"Self-deprecation" can manifest itself in various ways:
Zhang Qiang saw a job advertisement in the newspaper and thought that this job might be suitable for him, but he ignored it because he thought: "Although this job is very good, I am not very competent, so why bother." ”
For example, Zhang San wanted to date Li Hua, but Zhang San didn't call her because he didn't think he was worthy of her, and the date didn't materialize.
Ms. Ma felt that Wang De was the best agent of her products, but Ms. Ma did not look for Wang De, because she felt that Wang De was so famous that she would never look down on her.
Gog is filling out a job application form, one of which is "What do you want to be paid as a starting salary?" ”
Gog filled in a medium number because he didn't think he was worth the large amount (which he actually most likely).
For thousands of years, philosophers have given the best advice, "Know yourselves correctly."
But most people seem to understand it as "only knowing the backward side of yourself".
As a result, most self-evaluation forms are merely a summary of one's own mistakes and shortcomings.
There is nothing wrong with the lack of awareness, but it shows that there is room for improvement.
But if you only know your backward side, it will be bad, and your self-worth will become smaller.
The following methods will help you assess your abilities.
I've used these methods in training my company's agents and marketers, and they've proven to work.
1. Be clear about your top five strengths.
You need some objective friends to help you find out. They can be your wife, your boss, and your professor.
In short, it should be a smart person who can evaluate you sincerely.
"Strengths" often refer to education, experience, skills, appearance, stable family life, attitude, personality, creativity, etc.
2. List the great successes you've had under each strengths, as well as the names of three people who are not as good as you in that area.
Once you've done that, you'll find that you've surpassed many of the successful ones at least in one respect.
There will only be one conclusion you can draw:
You're actually much better than you think.
Therefore, thinking is in line with your actual abilities.
Never, never, never underestimate yourself.
When a person expresses strength in ordinary conversation, he or she may have a large vocabulary when he uses words that are raw and not common, or he or she uses difficult words (showmanship) instead of easy words, but does that mean that he thinks big?
The answer is not really.
People who use flowery and difficult words that make most people sound struggling tend to be arrogant.
And arrogant people are usually narrow-minded.
An important measure of a person's vocabulary is not by what kind of words are used, but by the effect of the words on their own thinking or on the thinking of others.
Here are a few basic but important things:
I don't like to think by words, but by pictures or images, words and sentences are just the raw materials of thinking.
When speaking or reading, the magical device of thinking automatically converts words into images, each of which produces a slightly different image.
Suppose someone tells you, "Li Dan bought a new duplex building." ”
A picture will appear in your mind;
But if someone says, "Li Dan bought a bungalow." ”
Another picture will appear in your mind.
The words we use to name or describe something have a role in modifying the images we see.
Think of it this way, when you speak or write, in a sense, it's like a video camera that's in charge of providing images to others.
And it's the picture that determines how you and others react.
Imagine if you told a group of people:
"It is with great regret that I declare that we have failed".
What will happen to them? They will immediately see the failure and the disappointment and sadness that comes with it.
Let's say another way of saying: "There's a new solution here, and I think it works".
Then they will be encouraged and eager to take the plunge.
Suppose you say, "We're in some trouble. "It can make people feel that it is difficult and reluctant to do it.
If it is "We have encountered a challenge". It makes people feel that it is fun, energetic, and willing to try.
Or, "We spent a lot of money," it is natural to think that the money will never be earned, and of course it will be unpleasant.
In other words: "We made a big investment," and people think that they will benefit soon, which is naturally pleasant.
The key is that people with brains are good at creating positive, motivated, optimistic, and enterprising pictures in their own and others' minds.
If you think big, you must use words that will have a grandiose and positive impact.
In parentheses are words and phrases that cause negativity, oppressive thoughts;
Outside the parentheses are words and phrases that evoke grandiose, positive thoughts.
As you read, you should ask yourself, "What kind of picture do I have in my head?" ”
Words that have a narrow negative impact and words that have a grandiose, positive impact:
1. (We've been hit hard, and it's useless.) It doesn't hurt the big picture, but if you keep trying, there are new ways.
2. (I've done this, but I've failed, so I'll never do it again.) I'm bankrupt for my own reasons, and I'm going to regroup.
3. (I've tried it, no one wants this product, people don't like this kind of thing.) I haven't sold this product yet. But I know the product itself is fine, and I'll find a way to sell it.
4. (The market is saturated.) Imagine that 75% of the potential market has been captured, and it is better not to do it again. Think about it, there's still 25% of the potential market, which is not too small, and I'm going to break into it!
5. (They have too few orders, their orders should be removed.) They have fewer orders, but we have to think of selling more to them.
6. (It takes 5 years to be promoted to the top in your company, it's too long, I don't do it.) Five years is actually not a long time, but if you think about it this way, I can still work at the top for 30 years!
7. (Competitors have advantages in every way, how can you let me compete with them?) Admittedly, the opponent is strong, but they can't always have the full advantage, let's brainstorm and find a way to defeat them.
8. (No one will ever ask for this product again, don't produce it anymore.) This style may not sell well at the moment, so let's think about making some improvements, and we will still find a market.
9. (Wait until it goes down before buying stocks.) Buy now, bet on the stock price going up, not down.
10. (I'm too young (old) to work.) Being young (old) is a unique advantage.
11. (This won't work, just wait and see.) It works, and I'll prove it.
Image: (Dark, bleak, disappointed, sad, defeated.) Light, hope, success, interest, victory.
Here are four ways to develop the vocabulary of a visionary:
1. Use big, uplifting, and pleasant words to express your feelings.
For example, if someone asks you, "How are you feeling today?" ”
You replied, "I'm tired or have a headache, I wish it was Sunday, I don't feel well".
This will actually feel worse for you.
Here's a trick that's small but huge, and it's worth a try.
Whenever someone asks you, "How are you?" Or, "How are you feeling today?" ”
You can reply, "Great! Thanks, what about you? Or, "Yes."
If at every possible opportunity you say you feel good, then you really are, even more so.
Letting people know that you're always feeling good will win you more friends because no one wants to be friends with someone who is sullen and whining all day.
2. Use bright, cheerful, and cheerful words to describe others.
Use pleasant words when talking about friends or people you are interested in, and make it a habit.
When you're talking to another person about another third person who wasn't there, use compliments like "He's a good guy" or "They told me he did a great job."
Be careful and avoid using hurtful words, otherwise the other person will hear it sooner or later and end up hurting yourself.
3. Encourage others with kind words.
Use every possible opportunity to compliment each other face-to-face, and everyone craves praise.
Use some specific compliments to your wife or husband and value and praise the staff at your side.
Sincere praise is the magic weapon for success, so use it and use it again and again.
Compliment each other on appearance, work, performance, accomplishments, and family.
4. Use positive language when presenting a plan to others.
When people hear the words, "This is good news, we have a real opportunity," people get excited;
But when you hear, "We have to do this job whether you want it or not," you get depressed, bored, and perfunctory.
Promising victory is inspiring, and promising victory wins support.
It is advisable to build a fort and not to dig a grave.
We should see what the future looks like, regardless of what it looks like now.
Those who think big will temper themselves, look to the future, and not stick to the present.
Here are four examples to illustrate this point.
1. What determines the value of a property?
A highly successful broker specializing in suburban real estate buying and selling has the answer.
"Most of the suburban properties here are in disrepair and not very attractive," the agent said. The reason why I was successful was because I didn't sell to customers as it was.
"I put together a whole sales plan around what the suburbs might become. First of all, I briefly introduced to the customer: "The suburbs have depressions, trees, and a good environment, and they are close to the city. Don't incite him to buy it just yet. But when people say what the next step is for the suburbs, they are almost tempted. ”
The benefit of this example is that you should not look at things in the present, but see the changes (potential) in the future.
Being imaginative increases the value of things. Big-minded people are good at imagining the future of things, not just the present.
2. How much is a customer worth?
A general manager of a department store, who was addressing the managers of the merchandising departments, said:
"I may not be able to keep up with the trend, but I still believe that the best way to attract repeat customers is through friendly, courteous service. Once, as I walked through the mall, I overheard a salesperson arguing with a customer, who angrily walked away.
"Later, the salesperson said to another person, 'I don't want to spend so much time trying to find something for a customer who only costs $3, he doesn't deserve it.'"
The general manager went on to say:
"I walked away, but I couldn't erase the impression I made. If our salespeople all look at customers this way, the consequences are too severe. I immediately decided that this had to change. When I got back to the office, I immediately called the research director and asked him to do a survey on the average amount of money spent per customer in the mall this year. I was even surprised by the results, which, according to your careful calculations, are $569.
"The second thing I did was to call a meeting of the supervisors to talk about the incident and let them know how much a customer was worth. Once these people realize that the value of a customer cannot be measured in terms of a single purchase of goods, but in terms of purchases throughout the year. Since then, the quality of service has been significantly improved. ”
The retail store manager's point of view can be applied to other industries as well:
"Repeated business is profitable".
Usually, the first few transactions do not make money, but it is necessary to see the customer's potential spending, not just what he bought today.
Respecting customers is what makes them long-term customers, and disrespecting customers is tantamount to driving them away.
A friend told me about a similar incident and explained why he would never eat at that restaurant again.
"One day, during lunch, I decided to try a restaurant that opened two weeks ago," the friend said. At that time, every corner was very important to me, so I was very careful when I bought things. Walking to the meat department, I saw some roast chickens that looked good, clearly marked with 35 yuan.
"When I went to the cash register, the cashier looked at the plate and said, '$49.' I politely asked her to do the math again, because the price should be 35 yuan. The cashier gave me a blank look and did the math again. The problem was with the big chicken, she charged 49 yuan instead of 35 yuan. I told her to keep an eye on the $35 label.
"It annoyed her, and she said, 'Whatever is written there, it's 49 yuan.'" See! Here's today's price list. It's the people there who are mistaken, you have to pay 49 yuan! ’”
Then I tried to explain that the reason why I chose roast chicken was precisely because the price was 35 yuan, and I knew that it was 49 yuan, so I changed to something else.
To which she said, "You'll have to pay $49!" "I paid because I didn't want to stand there and get an eye.
But I immediately decided never to come again.
I spend about 2,000 yuan a year on lunch, but you see, they won't make me a penny in the future.
This is an example of short-sightedness. The cashier only saw $14, but not the potential $2,000.
3. Short-sighted milkman.
It's amazing how people's insights can sometimes be so short.
A few years ago, a young milkman came to my door to order milk, and I said it had already been ordered. And very satisfied with the current service. He was advised to go next door and ask the woman.
To this he said: "I asked, they only use a bottle of milk for two days, and it is not worth my delivery." ”
I said, "Perhaps, but when you talk to my neighbors, don't you notice that their demand has increased dramatically lately?" ”
The young man seemed startled; After a while, he said, "Yes, they have more children in the house," 'How can I be so short-sighted!' Thank you. ’”
The family, who used only one bottle of milk every two days, has bought seven bottles of milk today thanks to the efforts of the young milkman.
We are too short-sighted! See the future, not just the present.
thinks that Mao Bo is an unmotivated, uneducated, vulgar and rude little trickster, and that's it, teachers will not teach him well;
And the teacher who thinks that Mao Bo can't always be like this must have a way to teach him well.
4. What determines your worth
A few weeks ago, at the end of a training course, a young man approached me and asked if he could talk to me.
I think the lad was about 26 years old, and he said that he was poor in childhood and had many misfortunes. I also know that he has been actively working hard to have a bright future.
With a cup of tea, the conversation moved to the point of substance. We had a discussion about how people who don't have much wealth should face the future.
His insight is a direct and powerful answer to this question.
"I work as a cashier in a bank, and I don't earn more than 5,000 yuan, so I don't have a lot of money and I don't have a lot of responsibility. The car has been used for four years and lives with his wife in a cramped two-story apartment.
He continued: "But, Professor, I didn't let that hold me back. ”
As it sounded interested, I asked him to continue.
"Well, I've done a lot of analysis of the crowd lately, and I've noticed that people who aren't rich tend to think they're like that, and they don't see the future, they only see the present," he added.
"My neighbor is a case in point. He complained about low pay, about piling up bills for medical care, and he was always obsessed with his poverty, which made him think he would be poor forever. He looked as if he had been ordered to spend the rest of his life in this dilapidated apartment. ”
The friend talked heartily, and after a pause, he said:
"If I only see the shabby car, the meager salary, the low apartment, and the easy food that I have now, it will only discourage me, and I will think that I am a little person, and I will always be a little person."
"I was determined to see myself as a big man who would rise to prominence in a few years. No longer a cashier, but a general manager; It is no longer a crowded apartment, but an elegant and innovative villa. When you look at yourself in this way, your feelings and thoughts will get better. And I have enough personal experience to prove that this is not unreal. ”
Isn't that a good example of honoring yourself?
This young man is fast on his way to a bright future, and he firmly believes in the basic principle of success:
It doesn't matter how much a person has now, what matters is how much he plans to get.
The external world's assessment of our own value is exactly the same as our own value.
Here's how to help you improve your capabilities and focus on the future, not just the present.
I call it a "value-added practice" activity.
1. Increase the value of things.
Keep that real estate example in mind. Ask yourself, what can you do to increase the value of your house or business? Find ways to make it more valuable. The value of an object, whether it is a piece of wasteland, a house, or a sale, is proportional to how it can be used.
2. Enhance the value of others.
As time goes on, "spotting talent" becomes an increasingly important part of your work.
Ask yourself, "How can I increase the value of my subordinates?" How can you make them more productive? ”
Remember, if you want to make the most of your talents, you must first recognize them.
3. Strive to improve your own value.
Talk to yourself every day, "What can I do to make my day more valuable?" ”
See what might be in the future, not how it is now.
Specialized approaches to realizing your potential value will prove to be effective, so give it a try.
The owner and manager of a medium-sized printing company with 60 employees told me how he chose his successor.
"Five years ago, I needed an accountant to sort out the accounts and handle the daily work in the office," the friend said. The guy I hired was named Jiang Li, and he was only 26 years old. He didn't know anything about the printing industry, but his personal file showed that he was a good accountant. When I retired a year and a half ago, we elected him as the owner and general manager of the company.
"Let's review that Jiang Li is good at playing an exemplary role and is loyal and enthusiastic to the whole company; It's not just about keeping accounts. Whenever he knows how to help other employees, he doesn't hesitate to do so. ”
"In the first year, Jiang Li was helped by me. Due to the departure of some people in the company, Jiang Li proposed a small preferential policy to me to ensure that the loss of personnel could be stopped at a low price. This policy really worked. ”
Jiang Li also helps the company do a lot of useful work, not just in the department. After a detailed study of the prices in the production department, he proposed to me that investing 300,000 yuan in new machinery would be very profitable. There was a time when sales were sluggish, and he approached the sales manager and said responsibly, 'Although I don't know much about sales, I can try to help you.' And he did. Jiang Li made a lot of good suggestions and helped the company sell a lot of products. ”
Whenever a new employee arrives, Jiang Li tries to make them feel comfortable. He has a strong interest and commitment to the overall work of the company.
"When I retired, Jiang Li was the only suitable person to take over."
"Don't get me wrong," his friend continued, "Jiang Li doesn't mean to be above me, nor is he simply nosy, let alone presumptuous. He doesn't hurt people behind his back, he doesn't go around giving orders, he just wants to help. The company's affairs seem to be closely related to him, and he treats the company's affairs as his own. ”
The lesson we can learn from this example is that the attitude of "I do my job well is enough" is narrow-minded and negative.
Visionaries see themselves as members of the collective, with whom they are closely connected, and who do their best for the collective, even if they are sometimes not immediately compensated or rewarded. What people who don't care, who ignore it and say, "It's none of my business, it's someone else's business" are lacking is the attitude you need to be a top leader.
Train yourself to be big. Take the company's interests as your own.
There may be only a handful of people in a large company who are loyal to the company, but after all, there are very few people who become big things.
In return, these few people end up with responsible and well-paid jobs.
Many people with potential, because of some trivial things, do nothing. Let's look at four examples.
1. How to give a good speech
Almost everyone expects to have top-notch presentation skills, but most people tend to backfire and give bad presentations.
Why?
The simple reason is that most people only pay attention to the trivial aspects of the speech and ignore the important aspects.
As they prepare to speak, most people will constantly admonish themselves by saying, "Remember to stand up straight." "Can't move around. You can't use your hands to make gestures. "Don't let the listener find out they're looking at their own notes." "Remember, don't make grammatical mistakes," the sound should be macro, but not too loud. "And so on and so forth.
What happens when it comes to standing up and speaking? He was worried because he had set so many rules and regulations for himself.
As a result, he was confused and asked himself, "Did you make a mistake?" As a result, the speech was terrible.
The reason for the fiasco is that we pay too much attention to the trivial details, and ignore the key to excellence is the content of the speech and the strong desire to make the speech.
The quality of a speech is not whether you stand up straight or whether there are grammatical errors, but whether the audience understands the gist of the speech
Dot.
A lot of top-notch speakers have hiccups, and some of them have even unpleasant voices.
If you follow the old "three avoid, four don't" method of speaking, some of the most popular orators will also smash the pot.
However, all successful speakers have one thing in common, the content of their good presentations and their strong desire to speak.
Don't fail your presentation by paying too much attention to trivial matters.
2. Why quarrel?
Keep asking yourself why you're arguing?
99% originated from some trivial little thing.
For example, Kong Li came home tired and nervous, and he didn't like dinner very much, so his face was full of unhappiness and he kept complaining. Wang Na was not in a good mood today, so she sarcastically mocked the other party, "How do you want me to arrange three meals?" Or: "If I had a new stove like everyone else, I might be better off." ”
This hurt Kong Li's self-esteem, so he also began to attack, "Okay, Wang Na, it's not because of lack of money, it's obviously that you don't know how to take care of your family." ”
They digress! Prior to the settlement, various accusations had taken place between the two parties, involving marriage, gender, money, pre-marital and post-marital commitments, and a number of other issues. The two sides drew their swords and fought angrily, but nothing could be solved, only for a more fierce quarrel next time.
Therefore, to avoid quarrels, it is necessary to be open-minded.
Here's a way to do it.
When you are thinking, blaming or condemning someone, or fighting back, you may want to ask yourself, "Is this worth it?" ”
In most cases, the answer is no, which avoids a conflict.
Ask yourself, "Does it really matter if he or she gets dirty with a cigarette, or forgets to screw on the toothpaste cap, or comes home late?" ”
When you want to do something unfavorable, ask yourself, "Does this matter?" ”
This self-question can do wonders in building a good family atmosphere.
It is also suitable for the office,
Suitable for when there is a block in front of you on the way home,
It is suitable for various situations in life that can easily lead to quarrels.
3. Kong Zheng was assigned to the smallest office and ended up in an embarrassing situation.
A few years ago, I witnessed a young man, Kong Zheng, ruining his career in the advertising industry because he was obsessed with office assignments.
When he was assigned to a small office and felt discriminated against, he didn't notice that the office was in short supply because the company was expanding rapidly.
He didn't calm down to think about it, the person assigned to the office didn't even know which one was the smallest!
Except for the boss, no one in the company has tied the office to personal value.
In small things (such as seeing your name at the end of your daily list or getting a fourth copy of an office memo), if you are narrow-minded, you will be detrimental. If you think about it, these little things won't get in your way.
5. Stuttering is not even important.
If someone is a salesperson, we don't even have to mind his stuttering.
A sales agent told me about something like this:
"I have a friend who is also a salesman, and he likes to play pranks, even if sometimes they are not pranks at all. A few days ago, a young man approached this friend for a sales job. However, the young man suffered from a severe stutter, and the friend immediately realized that it was a good time to joke. So, he told the stuttering job seeker that he had been out of the market for months, but that a friend of his, me, might have a place there. Then he called me and the young man, and said a kind word for the young man."
Without the slightest hesitation, I said, "Let him come!" "Thirty minutes later, he came.
Before the young man could finish three sentences. I understood the real purpose of my friend's eagerness to recommend it to me.
He said: "I, my name is Li Li Li Ke, Mr. X asked me to come..., come..., come..., talk to you... Talk... Talk... Work... Work... work, "almost every word is struggling.
I was thinking to myself, I was angry with my friend, and at the same time, I felt sorry for this guy.
I think I should at least ask him a few polite questions before coming up with a proper excuse for not hiring him.
"But as the conversation progressed, I realized that the lad was not stupid, but rather wise. I had a hard time introducing myself, but I couldn't ignore the fact that I stuttered.
So I decided to end the conversation with one last question: "What makes you feel like you can sell?" ”
He said, "Well, I learn, learn, learn fast, I, I, I love people, I, I, I think your company is good, I think, I want to make some money." Even if I don't speak well, it doesn't distress me, so how can I make others distressed? ”
His answer prompted me that he was fully qualified to be a salesman. I immediately decided to let him try.
He's done a great job, and you know that now.
If someone is of good quality, a defect like stuttering is completely negligible.
Follow these three points to help you deal with chores:
1. Be pragmatic.
A lot of times we're like a salesman:
He failed to sell the goods, but when he reported to the manager, he said, "Yes, they didn't sell, but I asked the customers to admit that they were wrong." "Remember, the main goal of sales is to sell goods, not to argue.
The most important thing in marriage is peace, happiness, and comfort, not the winning or losing of a quarrel, and it is not time to say, "I told you a long time ago." ”
When working with our staff, it's important to tap into their potential and not to cause trouble because of their mistakes.
Neighbors get along with each other, and the main thing is mutual respect and friendship, rather than trying to get people to dispose of the dog because of the occasional barking of the neighbor's dog at night.
To borrow a military phrase: it is much better to give up one battle and win another than to win one and lose one.
2. Constantly ask yourself, "Does this matter?" ”
If you're annoyed, ask yourself, "Is this important for a big business?" "That's the best way to avoid setbacks.
When you are in trouble, ask a few more questions, "Does it matter?" "Well, at least 90% of the quarrels and feuds will not happen.
3. Beware of falling into the trap of trivial matters.
When speaking, solving problems, and advising employees, think about useful and effective aspects, and don't limit yourself to superficial appearances. Focus on the big things.
Try to see how big your mind is.
Here is a list of some common situations in which the narrow-minded and the ambitious compare the different reactions of the big-eyed. Test yourself out and see what type you live in.
There are two completely different ways to deal with the same situation, and it's up to you to choose.
The practice of those who think narrowly inside the brackets, and the practice of those who think big outside the brackets
1. (Spend to increase income by compressing expenses.) Increase income by selling more goods
2. (Talk about friends, the economy, companies, and the negative side of competition.) Talk about friends, the economy, the company, and the positive aspects of competition
3. (Progress is stubborn and self-contained, and does not seek time.) Keep forging ahead
4. (The future is bleak) The future is promising
5. (Find ways to do less work) Find ways to do more work, especially to help others
6. (Compete with the average level of competition) Compete with the best opponents
7. (Budgeting saves money by compressing some necessary expenses.) Ideas to increase income and buy more necessities.
8. (Target set low) Set high
9. (Vision only sees the present) Look to the future
10. (The question of security and safety is haunted by the heart.) I think that as long as I am successful, I will naturally feel safe
11. (Partners are surrounded by small-minded people.) Surrounded by motivated people.
12. (Mistakes exaggerate big and small mistakes, make a big fuss.) Don't care about mistakes that don't hurt the big picture
Remember, every aspect affects the size of your mind, to sum up:
1. Never underestimate yourself. Put an end to self-deprecation and pay attention to your strengths. You're actually much better than you thought you would.
2. Use big-thinking vocabulary. Use words that are magnificent, bright, and pleasant, and use words that can be victorious, hopeful, happy, and joyful, and avoid words that may bring a bad impression of failure, frustration, sadness, etc.
3. Broaden your horizons. See what the future holds, not just the present. Try to increase the value of things, others, and yourself.
4. Take a long-term view of your work. It's important to really recognize your current job, and subsequent ups and downs depend mainly on your attitude towards your current job.
5. Don't think about the trivialities, so keep your focus on the main point. Before you do a small thing, ask yourself, "Does it matter?" "Is this necessary?"
Think big, achieve big.
