To be precise, everyone is a greedy animal. People always want it, and the more they get, the happier they will be, so they desperately want to possess and get it. However, one day we suddenly realized that all our troubles, all our confusions and all our tiredness are related to what we have and what we have gained, and what we are trying to get. The reason why we are unhappy is related to our desire and our greed. This is because we desire too much, want too much, and want to possess too much. Unconsciously, we blindly cling to one thing, which prevents us from jumping out and brings endless pain to ourselves.
There is a small businessman who runs a stall. He found that he made money in the transportation business, so he bought his own car and pulled goods for others. It was hard to run around. Later, when running transportation with another person, he saw a place where there were many fish farmers. During the break, he asked curiously:
"What do you feed the fish? Where did you get the feed? "
"The main feed is silkworm chrysalis. Not a very good silkworm chrysalis, just an ordinary one. " The businessman was very happy after hearing this.
"We are a big sericulture county there, and it is our own reeling, and there are many silkworm chrysalis. Silkworm pupae are mainly sold to some food processing plants as auxiliary materials for non-staple food processing, but they have very high quality requirements for silkworm pupae and can't be used at all. "
He felt that the opportunity had come, so he discussed with the factory and pulled waste silkworm chrysalis for the factory at little cost. In this way, he transported these silkworm chrysalis to the local area and made a lot of money. Later, others also knew how to make money and took part in the competition. As a result, business is getting harder and harder every day. At this time, what small businessmen think about is not how to do fine business, but how to find more profitable projects. As a result, everything he does is fresh for three days. In the end, he not only didn't make money, but also lost a lot of money.
Therefore, opportunities are equal for everyone. Many people are mediocre, not because they lack opportunities, on the contrary, because they miss too many opportunities.
There are two teachers on good terms. They are all music majors in normal schools, and they teach music very well. They can play flute, erhu, dulcimer, harmonica, organ and other musical instruments, especially erhu. Once, a troupe found one of the teachers and transferred him to the regiment to train him to play the erhu solo, but after studying for a while, he didn't want to learn. Because he only needs a little effort to learn erhu to the present level, but he needs to work harder if he wants to make further progress. When he was tired, he suggested trying another tool. At that time, the purpose of the troupe was to cultivate a solo instrument that could be taken out. Since he is not interested in erhu, he can change it casually. So, he chose the flute, but after learning it for a few months, he got tired of it and learned the dulcimer instead ... In the end, everything was almost the same, and he could make do, but it was absolutely impossible to bring any reputation to the troupe. He spent a lot of money on remedial classes, but the troupe didn't get the reward it deserved. The leader of the troupe was very angry and dismissed him.
Another teacher, who has been teaching erhu by herself, soon became famous. Soon, the troupe paid a large sum of money to invite him.
There is no denying that the first teacher is a clever man. He wants to learn whatever he sees, and he learns clearly and makes rapid progress. However, he is only a temporary enthusiasm for everything, and will not be obsessed with a hobby, a skill or even a job. This is the root of his failure.
As the saying goes, "He who travels a hundred miles is half ninety". The closer you get to success, the more you need to work hard, the more you need to pay, and the more you need to persist. Just like mountain climbing, at the foot of the mountain, due to the freshness, the physical condition is still very good, and the hillside is not very steep, so I climbed quickly and quickly climbed hundreds of kilometers. The last few tens of meters are particularly difficult. I was mentally exhausted and physically exhausted. Of course, getting up is very difficult. But as long as you persist for a while and overcome the inertia at the moment, the victory is yours.
Napoleon was once the master of Europe. He never hesitates in an emergency. He always grabs what he thinks is the wisest way at once and gives up all other possibilities and goals, because he never allows other things to disturb his thinking, judgment and action. This is a very effective method. In other words, if a person wants to concentrate on doing a good job, on the one hand, he must withstand all kinds of temptations, and at the same time, he must have a certain concentration on the established actions.
Later, Napoleon was defeated by Waterloo because he worried too much and pursued too much. It is like a huge convex lens, which can gather sunlight and even melt the hardest diamond. Nothing can make it yield. Such examples often happen around us. Some people seize fleeting opportunities with a keen sense of smell, thus achieving their life goals. Some people lose themselves in consideration and confusion because they have too many choices and opportunities. As andrew groff, chairman of Intel Corporation, said, "The most useful word is concentration. If you concentrate all your energy on one thing, which is better than others in the industry, then you don't have to bet on both sides and go all out to avoid risks. "
