Lu Xun has a famous saying: "Dissatisfaction is the wheel that drives upward." Dissatisfaction with existing achievements can indeed be called the wheel that drives enterprising spirit and the ladder that guides people to move upward. ?
Dissatisfaction itself is not a driving force, but it can produce a boosting force. As long as people are dissatisfied with existing achievements, this dissatisfaction will push people towards the next goal. ?
When people realize that they can achieve greater things than they are now, they will be energetic, confident, and move forward courageously. On the contrary, if you think that achieving so many achievements is already good and you are satisfied, you will inevitably slack off. Therefore, those who have achieved great success in their careers always seriously declare war on the enemy of "complacency".
They are not satisfied with the results they have achieved and constantly set new goals for themselves. Football king Pele scored more than 200 goals in his life. Someone asked him, which ball is the best? He asked: "Next one." After the Chinese women's volleyball team won the "three consecutive championships", someone asked Yuan Weimin to talk about his feelings. Yuan Weimin's answer was: "Start from scratch."
At the 23rd Los Angeles Olympics, When American swimmer Rick Carey reached the finish line first in the 200 backstroke final, the winner was not ecstatic, but almost crying in frustration. He buried his head in the water, his eyes filled with tears, regretting that he could not break the world record in this project again.
These people still feel deeply dissatisfied after achieving first-class results. Perhaps it is this insatiable spirit that drives them to keep forging ahead and achieving greater results. ?
To make yourself dissatisfied in the face of existing achievements, especially relatively large achievements, you need to have grand ambitions. "Complacency" and "non-complacency" actually depend on the contrast between people's achievements and goals.
Extended information
Being satisfied with the achievements has destroyed the enterprising spirit of many people. I don’t know how many talented people have been delayed in their chances of achieving first-class results. People who are never satisfied with their achievements have far-sighted vision, broad minds, and the spirit to accommodate all rivers. Their existing achievements are not enough for their minds; while those who are easily satisfied have small ambitions and low standards, just like a small road that easily dries up. Rivers cannot achieve great things. ?
Not being satisfied with what you have achieved is actually constantly challenging yourself and constantly surpassing yourself. ?
Life is an endless process of self-discovery. It is not easy for a person to surpass his predecessors and peers, but it is also very difficult to surpass himself. Because when a person is lagging behind compared with others, he or she will often have a sense of urgency and force himself to catch up.
When you are better than others in some aspects, laziness will come out to cause people to give up or even stop moving forward without knowing it. Therefore, "surpassing oneself" is often more difficult than surpassing others, especially after achieving better results. This determines that when people are in an advantageous position, they need to raise their standards and put pressure on themselves in order to continue to make progress.
