Only by overcoming the comfortable "self-denial" can people transcend mediocrity and excel.
Open up the future
In the Meiji Restoration era, which is brewing great changes, if there are no young people who follow the trend and are full of courage and confidence, the country will have no future.
However, this is not only because they are young, but this important mission will automatically fall on their heads. What kind of young people shoulder the heavy responsibility of opening up the future?
In my opinion, in the workplace, they are all insightful young people who actively put forward opinions and suggestions to their superiors, determined to improve the workplace, change enterprises and burn with passion.
In addition, such young people are diligent and eager to learn, and have a pure heart that is almost transparent. They are by no means eccentric and nihilists who complain for the sake of complaining.
They must also have the spirit of self-sacrifice. If you just want to take advantage of yourself and make comments or suggestions for your own happiness, others will only turn a deaf ear.
But the most important thing is a strong will.
If you lack the determination to achieve your career, you can't drive others to achieve real change.
What can't be done is to admit it truthfully.
When I came to work in Kyoto from Kagoshima, I only spoke dialects. I was a real hillbilly, and I felt very inferior at that time.
Some people suffer setbacks because they are dominated by this feeling. But I frankly admit my shortcomings, so I have no frustration.
"I'm a hillbilly and don't know anything about things in society. I lack common sense. Although I graduated from university, I am only a rural university. Compared with the graduates of famous universities in big cities, my strength is much worse, and I must start from the most basic things. "
This idea makes me work harder.
In other words, don't fight against inferiority, but accept it frankly, which will make you feel relaxed. This attitude is the starting point of progress.
Don't pretend that you can do what you can't. Admit your weaknesses truthfully and start here. This is very important.
When I first entered the society, I had this understanding and worked hard in my work and life.
Beyond mediocrity
Under the current education system, you can graduate as long as you master the essentials of study, get 60 points in the exam and don't repeat the grade. However, through great efforts, 80% or more students in all subjects have also graduated.
However, although the difference between the two is only 20 points, there are actually more important essential differences.
In the process of achieving excellent results, the latter must have some obstacles. They must have worked hard to break through one obstacle after another.
"Just over 60 points" or "unwilling to be mediocre", bravely facing difficulties despite difficulties, reflects the spiritual difference between the two, which can be said to be a watershed in life.
If you want to walk up a flight of stairs, you will encounter multiple obstacles on the way. The so-called obstacle is your heart that pursues ease.
Only by overcoming the comfortable "self-denial" can people transcend mediocrity and excel.
People tend to relax and hate work, so it is not easy to push themselves to overcome difficulties. However, when you overcome yourself and succeed, your inner joy is beyond words.
Conquer oneself
You should have met the following two kinds of people:
A student studied hard and got 80 points. Another student had a quick brain, understood the essentials, and got 60 points without hard work. The latter commented on the former: "That guy studies very hard. What's the big deal about getting good grades? If I get serious, my score will be higher than his. "
Step into the society after graduation and see the former succeed. The latter will say, "that guy was not so good when he was a student." I am much better than him. " The latter likes to belittle his classmates and show off himself.
Is that really the case? Studying hard means that you can't see the movie you want to see, which means that you have defeated yourself who is eager for comfort.
The same is true of successful people. They must have overcome their fun and devoted themselves to their work. This is the embodiment of "self-denial".
I think this kind of "self-denial" should be taken into account when evaluating people's ability.
In other words, people who succumb to their own desires, blindly covet comfort and refuse to work hard should be inferior in ability.
The ability to succeed on the long stage of life is definitely not limited to the number of wrinkled brain cells.
Passion makes a career.
To judge a person, we must look at his talent and ability. Besides, I also value enthusiasm.
Because anything can be successful as long as there is enthusiasm. Even if you are not competent enough, as long as you have enthusiasm, you can gather competent people around you.
Even without money and equipment, as long as you speak your dreams enthusiastically, someone will respond.
The source of success is the enthusiasm held by this person. In any case, the stronger the will, enthusiasm and passion, the higher the probability of success.
The so-called fiery enthusiasm refers to a state of mind, that is, sleep when you want, wake up when you want, that is, think about that problem for 24 hours.
Of course, it is impossible to think continuously for 24 hours. But that persistent consciousness is very important. In this way, the desire will penetrate into the subconscious.
Even when you didn't expect it, the action to realize your wish began, and you can undertake much bigger work than now.
In my opinion, the key to career success lies in enthusiasm first.
Draw a dream with a pure heart
Strong enthusiasm can bring success. However, if this enthusiasm comes from selfish desires, it will be difficult to succeed for a long time.
The reason is: ignoring the rules of the world, although you hold the key element of success-enthusiasm, but blindly relying on enthusiasm will go astray.
For lasting success, the dreams and passions described must be pure and flawless.
In other words, the desire to penetrate into the subconscious has a qualitative problem.
As an ideal, of course, it is best to be completely instinctive, contribute to the world and society, have extremely pure wishes and have no selfishness. But it is extremely difficult for people to completely eliminate selfish desires.
However, at least the purpose of work should be changed from "for yourself" to "for the team".
This transformation can increase the purity of desire. If it weren't for the strong desire depicted in New Soul, God wouldn't care.
With pure desire, I got rid of the suffering of pain and trouble, and suddenly inspiration flashed and the situation opened.
At the critical moment, the strong and pure desire to "succeed anyway" can reach the sky, stimulate your potential and lead you to success. It was my idea.
Construct spiritual skeleton
In order to improve ourselves, we must study. I hope everyone will study hard.
I will definitely study in the future, whether it's because I'm busy putting off work or entertaining guests to go home after drinking. I didn't sit at the table and read, but I read in bed. There are many books about philosophy and China classics on my pillow, which I often read.
I also took the book into the toilet and into the bathroom. On Sunday holiday, I read books all day.
Maybe everyone thinks they are busy every day, so they have no time to study. However, you can always squeeze out a little time, get close to books, read a good article that touches people's hearts and feel something.
Of course, everyone works hard at work, and the most important thing is to temper their experience through practice.
But on top of this, we need to absorb the knowledge that we have not experienced personally through reading, and at the same time sort out the experience that we have experienced personally.
Practice and reading can build our spiritual skeleton.
speak one's mind
Listening to some people, you will feel that they are playing word games. Generally speaking, such people are eloquent and fluent in language. It sounds good and gives a good impression. But if you listen carefully, you will find that his speech is empty.
Some people have the illusion that they are eloquent. However, I don't feel any charm.
I'm really not interested in serious communication with such an understatement. To put it worse, I even think such people are frivolous and superficial.
I hope young people don't imitate such glib rhetoric. I want to hear the real voice from the depths of my soul, even if I stutter a little.
In any case, you should try your best to make the other person understand your thoughts. There are more heartfelt words than any flowery words, and they are very infectious and can move the other side.
Only when you are moved can you get the sincere understanding of the other party. In my opinion, you don't need those fancy speaking skills, just pour your heart and soul and speak sincerely.
Keep drawing dreams.
I call myself a dreamer.
Because I am often whimsical and love to dream illogical dreams. One after another, endless dreams appeared in my mind. It was in this dream that I expanded my career.
I won't put my dream into practice soon, but I will picture it strongly in my mind. I don't actually do it, but it takes a year or even two to do simulation deduction in my mind.
Such a dream can also be called a strong desire.
In this way, even when playing, wishes will enter your mind. For example, walking down the street, things related to my wishes will suddenly appear in front of me and be deeply moved.
Also, at a banquet, people who are indispensable and eager to realize their dreams will suddenly jump into my eyes. If I lack strong desire, such people and things may pass by.
There is an excellent opportunity hidden in the unremarkable phenomenon.
However, only people with strong purpose can see this opportunity. I don't see any wonderful opportunities in aimless, erratic and empty eyes.
self-ignite
Some of these substances burn after receiving external energy; Some will not burn even if they are given energy; Some can burn themselves.
In other words, substances can be divided into three categories: combustible substances, which will burn as long as they are ignited; Non-combustible substances that cannot be burned even if ignited; Spontaneous combustion substances that can burn by themselves.
So do we. If you want to succeed, you must burn yourself. Because enthusiasm and passion are the basic elements of success.
People who don't burn energy even if they make a fire, that is to say, even if they have a little talent, empty thoughts and indifferent feelings, they will not be moved. Such a person can't achieve a career.
I hope that talent, at least when it is around people who spontaneously combust, can also burn with them.
However, what we really need is spontaneous combustion. Furthermore, we can not only burn ourselves, but also transfer excess energy to others. Such talents are necessary for the team.
Become the center of the vortex
It is difficult to achieve great things by your own efforts. Working with superiors, subordinates, colleagues and others around you is called work.
However, you must actively find something to do, and people around you will naturally help you. This is "working in the center of the vortex".
If you can't do it well, others will become the center of the whirlpool, and you will only circle around the periphery of the whirlpool. That is to say, in the final analysis, you are a supporting role to help others.
In the company, like the rapids at high tide, the whirlpool of work rolls around. If you just drift around the whirlpool, you will soon be attracted by the whirlpool of others.
If you are not in the center of the whirlpool and don't involve the people around you, you will not feel the happiness of work and the wonderful taste of work.
In my opinion, whether you can roll up the whirlpool yourself and become a proactive talent will not only affect the result of your work, but also determine the result of your life.
Sumo is in the center of the surface.
I often say "Sumo in the middle of the soil". This means that if you want to regard the center of the soil surface as the edge of the soil surface, you should go all out from the beginning.
I think when I was a student, everyone had the experience of rushing to the exam all night before the exam. At this time, because of the rush of time and endless review, many people can only come to the examination room with the psychology of broken cans and broken falls.
Originally, the test dates were all arranged in advance. If you want to get good grades, you should prepare early, but most people always like to cram for the last minute.
In sumo wrestling, some lux will try their best to throw their opponents out when they have to step on the straw bag on the edge of the stage. I find it incredible. Since there is so much brute force, why don't you try your best when you are in the game center?
Actually, life is the same. When the earth's surface is in the middle, because there is enough time and space, we often relax ourselves and wait until the last minute to take action in a hurry.
We should imagine that we have no extra time to relax and do our best before being forced to the end. In addition, even if you don't get to the game table and get into trouble, you should imagine the risks and plan ahead.
Without the safety valve, life, work and career can't develop steadily.
Bold and cautious
People can be roughly divided into two categories: one is meticulous, thorough and meticulous, and tends to be introverted; The other kind of people are bold and outgoing. In my opinion, to do a good job, we need to have these two personalities at the same time.
Swordsmen often appear in TV dramas, dressed in casual clothes and even drunk, but when they detect the sneaky footsteps of their opponents behind them, they draw their swords and fight back.
Seeing this scene, we can't help cheering for it. Beneath the generous appearance of the master, there is an identical delicate nerve.
Just bold and straightforward, it is difficult to make the work perfect; You can't have the courage to challenge new things just because you are meticulous.
Boldness and meticulousness are two diametrically opposite personalities, and work requires both, and people who are adept at different scenes.
A careful and keen person is a real talent only if he has accumulated rich practical experience and produced real courage.
However, few people are born with these two personalities. People with fragile nerves should actively look for opportunities and occasions for exercise in order to have both brave and bold personalities.
Form the habit of perfectionism
At work, I pursue perfectionism.
However, people who do routine work think that 90% are "not bad" and stop here. Because they think that if you make a mistake, you can just correct it with an eraser.
In addition, they think that 90% completion is quite effective, so they don't pursue perfection.
But in chemical experiments, even if 99% is correct, as long as there is an error of 1%, it will lead to total failure.
Experienced technicians know that a small mistake can lead to fatal failure. So they will pursue perfectionism with a serious attitude.
It is very hard to discipline yourself strictly with perfectionism every day. But once you get used to it, you won't feel pain.
Just like launching a satellite, it needs huge energy to overcome the gravity of the earth, but once the satellite is in orbit, it can run on its own with little energy.
We must regard work as a daily habit and make it perfect.
