There is such a famous saying in "University": "The way of a university is clear in virtue, close to the people, and ends with perfection. Zhi Zhi then has a decision, then he can be quiet, then he can be quiet, then he can be safe, then he can think about it, and then he can get it. Things start and end, and things end. Take shortcuts when you know the order. "
The meaning of this passage is: the purpose of "university" is to carry forward noble morality, care for the people and reach the highest state of perfection. Only when you know that you want to achieve the highest level of goodness can you set your goals. After you set a goal, you can feel at ease, feel at ease can be stable and not chaotic, you can think carefully, think carefully, and achieve "perfection." Everything has a root and an end, and everything has an end and a beginning. Knowing their sequence is close to the purpose of the university.
The "supreme goodness" in "University" is a realm of success, and "determination" is the arrow target of life. The goal of the arrow is the fundamental problem of a person's life, which should be solved first. When this problem is solved, all other problems can be solved, and finally the party can "get it" and achieve perfection.
It can be seen that our ancients attached importance to the goal of life. Today, we are talking about the Chinese dream and everyone's dream. In fact, we are talking about the goal of life. With a goal in life, all efforts have a direction. Otherwise, every day's efforts are like drawing a bow without an arrow target. What's the point?
Most successful people have goals in life. This is the success of Jack Ma, the business tycoon and president of Alibaba. In a conversation with Stephen Chow, he once said: "People can 10 day without drinking water, eat for 7 or 8 days and breathe for 2 minutes, but 1 minute can't lose their dreams. No dream is more terrible than poverty, because it means no hope for the future. The most terrible thing for a person is not knowing what he is doing. " It is precisely because of his dream that Ma Yun did not flinch after a series of setbacks, such as failing to apply for Harvard many times, failing to apply for a job many times, and failing to start a business many times. He always worked hard towards his own goal and finally created an Internet miracle, leaving him with the image of a tough guy in today's business empire.
The success of Wang Huairang, a famous poet, is also the result of his constant climbing to the ideal. As the most famous political lyric poet in China after He Jingzhi, he has written many famous poems, such as "I am proud: I come from China" and "China people: people who don't kneel". He set up his dream of becoming a poet very early. In order to achieve this goal, he got up at five o'clock every day to write poems and went out for meetings without interruption for decades. Because he has a clear goal in life, his daily efforts have a sense of direction, which makes him so meaningful and makes his life so poetic.
Goals are really important to a person's success. The goal of life is a person's greatest confidence in life. As long as a person has a goal every day, he will feel the fullness and meaning of life. Stalin said: "Great energy is generated for great goals." Gorky also said: "The higher a person pursues, the faster his talents will develop and the more beneficial it will be to society." Only by setting lofty goals can a person fully tap his potential, make the greatest contribution to society and realize the value of life.
Now people often say a word, which is "self-discipline". In fact, self-discipline is just another way of saying hard work. Self-discipline without an arrow is empty. Self-disciplined people need to understand what the goal of self-discipline is. Is it healthy? Is it growth? Or something else? Only when the self-discipline of the arrow target is clear can it be motivated and lasting. Otherwise, it is only tactical self-discipline, not strategic.
A man without a dream is like a walking corpse, which means a bow puller without an arrow in his life. Therefore, each of us should ask ourselves, is there an arrow in life? If so, make unremitting efforts towards it. If not, we must try our best to find it.
