There is a saying that goes like this: "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now."

There are always several times in a person's life that his destiny will change. Some people can seize the opportunity and change their lives forever, but some people always miss the opportunity and achieve nothing in the end.

In fact, every time you fall to the bottom of life, it is an opportunity given by fate to rebound. In these difficult days when there seems to be no hope, improving yourself is far more meaningful than looking up to others. .

01

Start now, it’s still not too late.

As the old saying goes: "Don't be afraid of being slow, just be afraid of standing." When a person is determined to change the current situation, it is most important to start now.

Xiaocai was my colleague when I was teaching in a rural school. He and his wife taught in the same school, and the chance of being transferred to the county seat was slim. Seeing his daughter growing up day by day, he desperately hoped that his child could Enjoy better educational resources.

So, the 35-year-old Xiaocai decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. In addition to going to work, he spent all his time reviewing. In the words of his wife, he stayed at home and studied hard. Two years later, Xiaocai finally got his wish and was admitted to a full-time graduate school.

Three years later, Xiaocai graduated from graduate school and successfully applied for a job as a teacher in a junior college in the provincial capital. He quickly took his daughter over and made her a transfer student in a public primary school. A year later, he asked his wife to resign and work in a training institution. Finally, when they turned 40, they achieved "progress". city" desire.

Although they once lived frugally, they suffered a lot in order to regain a foothold. But today, they are still the inspirational models of that rural school.

People are accustomed to looking up to others and getting excited by other people's inspirational stories, but they are always unwilling to let themselves take the first step and bravely take the first step. This is the biggest difference between people.

In life, you can’t stand waiting, let alone wasted time. Don’t say that you don’t have time or experience, and constantly question whether you can do it. If you want to do something, do it first and then look at it as you go. There will be more solutions than difficulties.

So, start now, it’s still not too late.

Improving oneself includes not only knowledge, but also cultivation and structure.

A baby elephant that has been kept in captivity since childhood, even if it becomes an adult and becomes a behemoth in the eyes of everyone and can be invincible, it will never try to reinstall the wall that has been demolished long ago. The ground was being led away.

What people fear most is that their thinking is rigid and they can no longer break out.

It is normal to hit the bottom of life every time. It is normal to face obstacles everywhere. It is also normal to face ridicule, ridicule and cold eyes. Many people have made a lot of efforts, but they will not succeed. This kind of "learned helplessness" attacks The most important thing is a person's fighting spirit and self-confidence.

Without perseverance, it is easy to become depressed.

Therefore, improving yourself is not only about acquiring a skill and learning more knowledge, but also about cultivating the overall situation and improving personal accomplishment.

Just like the famous saying of Socrates: "I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." We no longer have to agree with what others say and do, but we all Be respectful and tolerant.

Gradually, we will unconsciously pick up our sharp edges and be more kind to others.

No matter whether others are arrogant, calculating, arrogant or domineering, or a broken person, you can feel their sadness and difficulty, rather than criticize them. , You don’t have to let yourself win in everything.

To improve yourself, you must persist in lifelong learning.

Live and learn until you are old, and you will continue to encounter surprises in this life.

Business legend Kazuo Inamori encountered many difficulties when he first started working. When the company encountered a bankruptcy crisis, he stayed and through study, he became an innovative ceramics professional from a layman. , and founded Kyocera at the age of 27, and founded Second Telecom at the age of 52. Both companies entered the Fortune Global 500 during his lifetime.

Such an impressive achievement comes from his persistence in learning.

After experiencing too many difficulties and blows, Kazuo Inamori finally understood that difficulties should be regarded as a test of life and an opportunity to sharpen one's ambition, not just an obstacle.

He also finally realized what his parents often said when he was young: "You should pay for the suffering of youth."

Studying when you are young is to work better; working hard when you are young is a kind of practice. He once said: “Through solid and serious work every day, you can shape your deep and profound personality.

”
