Breaking a cocoon into a butterfly, like a phoenix nirvana, is a new life, but it is all painful. In fact, struggling in cocoon and burning in fire are all practices. Either stand out from the crowd or lose everything.
The book "Our whole life is just to say goodbye to our past selves gracefully" is like a lamp in the dark, guiding you in a bright direction. It is a magic indicator lamp that teaches you how to know yourself, how to treat time well and how to stimulate creativity, so as to reach the other side of victory smoothly.
The author of this book is Neil Francis, an Englishman living in Scotland. At the age of 4 1, he had a stroke, which completely changed his life. He used to be an executive and held a key job in the company, but he couldn't even take care of himself after his illness. He felt particularly helpless.
In this process, he constantly sought all kinds of "help" from the outside world, and finally psychologically, he found his own spiritual comfort and hope for future life. Yes, he succeeded, and he succeeded in starting a meaningful and valuable new life. So he wrote them into words to help thousands of Qian Qian people who are still lost in the dark.
Art has no national boundaries, and so does writing. How can we break through ourselves and get a new life? Let's have a look!
1. Re-recognize yourself and tap your strengths.
I don't know if you know yourself. Do you know what kind of personality you are? Can you accurately tell your strengths and weaknesses? Do you know where your life is going? Or, have you found the direction of life?
In fact, many people, busy every day, are on the way to earn money and get lost in the intertwined parties. They look so hard, hard and exhausted, but for most of them, their life happiness index is surprisingly low.
Still an old saying: warm and full of lust! If you can't get enough food and clothing, what's your mind? The reason why they are still wandering on the life line is that they are either lazy and do not make progress, or they have not found the right path, including the most basic self-cognition. So I can only do more work, and it is useless to do anything.
Everyone is an independent individual, just as there are never two identical eggs in the world, and there are no two identical people in this world. For example, some people are extroverted, naturally familiar, careless and good at communicating with others, so they are suitable for sales and diplomacy. Because this kind of work needs to communicate with people, and they who are good at chatting can just use their own advantages to draw closer emotional relationships and promote cooperation. On the contrary, some people are introverted and blush when they say a word or two to others. They prefer to stay in their comfort zone and do things quietly. You can't push them to the front at this time, because it's really too difficult for them, and they can't do anything!
Therefore, it is important to know yourself. As long as you fully understand yourself, know where your strengths and weaknesses are, and know what your goals are, it will be easy. The rest, you just need to move forward according to your own goals in a planned way. As for the speed of progress, it varies from person to person.
Socrates said: Know yourself. But his words haven't finished yet, I want to tell you: know yourself, so that you can become yourself!
Start over, you know, now is the best time.
Do you remember your first dream? When I was young, everyone loved to dream that one day, I would have a successful career, not to mention Jackie Chan becoming a phoenix. I've always thought it's okay to glorify ancestors.
Many people have this experience: My childhood dream was Tsinghua Peking University. When I grow up, I find that it is enough to get into an ordinary university. But the fact is that the number of places in ordinary universities has also been taken away by thousands of troops crossing the wooden bridge! When I was a child, I always thought I was a unique soldier in the universe. When I grow up, I find myself just an ordinary nobody. What a sharp contrast! What a pity!
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person. The bad thing is that many people are not willing to be mediocre while living an enterprising life. Because of one or several failures, you will completely deny yourself, your ability and your life.
Today's society is a pluralistic society, and the development of the Internet has accelerated the progress of human history. Being in such a trend of the times is both our luck and our misfortune. Fortunately, we can take the speedboat of the network, speed up our progress, and the energy we finally get can also be flipped by geometric multiples. Unfortunately, many people are drowned in this wave for one reason or another.
Most of the reasons I have heard are about age. Some people say that I am in my thirties, and it is too late to start studying now. This is my life!
God, thirty years old, what a youthful age, just consider yourself an old man, then who will suffer if you don't suffer? Life is like this. The more active you are, the more surprises you will have! The lazier you are, the more you escape, but everything goes wrong, everything goes wrong!
It's different now. In the past, the society was underdeveloped and the news was blocked. What you learned at school will last you decades. Nowadays, it is changing with each passing day. If you don't want to be eliminated by society, you need to keep learning and making progress. And age should never be an excuse for your laziness.
Now, now, is the best time! If you want to learn to swim, go ahead. Even if you are 40 years old now, as long as you learn, when you are 4 1 year old, you can have a party by the pool to show off to your children. Your father learned a new skill. Please imagine that picture, what a cool experience!
3. Proactive and persistent
It is a cliche to work hard and persevere. There has been such a saying since ancient times, "Where there is a will, there is a way;" If you cross the rubicon, 102 Qin Guan will eventually return to Chu; " The poem "Hard-working people, heaven rewards diligence, hard work, more than 3,000 armor can swallow Wu" tells us the significance of persistence.
I have always liked the saying that it is easy to give up, but in the end you will get nothing. Persistence is hard, but in the end it will pay off.
When I was in college, I was fascinated by the Rubik's Cube. Later, I found out that there is a great club in our school called Rubik's Cube Club. I joined the club out of curiosity.
Because it is a very small community, enrollment is very simple. You can enter as long as you sign up. Even so, the whole community is still very small, with only a dozen people.
At first, my idea was simple. I just need to learn how to play the third-order Rubik's Cube, but after I really mastered the skills of the third-order Rubik's Cube (in fact, the whole process only took a week), I began to pursue its speed. From the first 20 minutes, to 5 minutes, and then to 1.5 minutes, I broke through myself again and again, and that feeling was really exciting.
Later, from the third-order Rubik's cube to the fourth-order Rubik's cube, the fifth-order Rubik's cube, and the mirror cube, I couldn't beat the Rubik's cube. A year's time, from a rookie to a small player who can participate in the competition, is not only the result of playing correctly, but also the result of turning over again and again!
I am a small winner in this small matter. What about major events in Qian Qian? As long as you can persevere, you will get what you want!
The above three points are the most precious wealth that this book has brought me!
You see, as long as we want to change, we can make great changes. When we change ourselves, we will find that the world around us also changes. Without change, we cannot achieve different results. Positive change is very important to life, it can push us forward.
Albert Einstein once summed it up perfectly: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Therefore, he became the greatest inventor in the world. You see, every reason has its consequences.
How lucky you are to be born a man! How wonderful it is for us to exert our greatest value in our limited life and make our life more meaningful!
You have to believe in yourself, even a small firefly will shine and light up a land.
Let's get to know ourselves again and find the meaning of life from now on! When you break into a butterfly, you will find the whole world applauding for you! Come on, stranger, I hope good luck will always be with you!
End.
