1. If you are poor in pursuit, you will not be able to grow. If you are full of pursuit, you can grow into a giant with the same efforts.

2. Because people will carry out necessary mental and psychological behavioral activities, people will not just perform simple labor. People want to achieve something, achieve considerable achievements, and achieve something in their fields of expertise. Ability is the basis for stimulating work enthusiasm.

3. Ability changes people. For our own growth, we should first pursue excellence and then build a sense of fulfillment and confidence from it. Because ability can not only change the quality of work, but also change people themselves, it is of great significance.

4. The responsibility for growth lies with oneself. It is not the organization but the individual who bears the greatest responsibility for growth. We must ask ourselves, what should we focus on for the growth of ourselves and our organizations?

5. It all starts with responsibility. The key to success lies in responsibility, which means giving yourself the courage to take responsibility. Everything stems from this. What matters is not status but responsibility. The so-called responsible people are those who are serious about their work and realize the need to achieve growth that meets the needs of their work.

6. The desire to keep making progress. We may be satisfied with what others do, but we are only responsible for what we do. Therefore, we should not be content with the status quo and always have the desire to make continuous progress.

7. What is the perfect job. Around 440 BC, the Greek sculptor Pheidias completed the sculptures on the roof of the Parthenon in Athens. But when it was completed, the Athenian accountants refused to pay Pheidias's bill. The accountant said: "The back of the statue is invisible. How can you ask for payment for the invisible part?" Phidias replied: "No, the gods are watching!"

8. Only when people have accomplished something they are proud of can they feel glory. Otherwise, false pride will only corrupt the soul. People will feel a sense of accomplishment when they achieve a certain goal. When your work is important, you will feel important.

9. External growth and internal growth. Self-enlightenment not only refers to the cultivation of abilities, but also personal growth. Focusing your attention on responsibilities allows you to see a stronger version of yourself. This is not arrogance or pride, but a reflection of pride and self-confidence. Once you have it, you can never lose it. Our goal should be to accomplish both outer and inner growth.

10. Focus on work. The focus must be on work, and work must be productive. Although work is not everything, it must be put first.

11. Work direction. While work promotes people's growth, it should also guide the direction. Otherwise, people’s various qualities cannot be brought into play.

12. When work gives us stimulation (inspiration), that is when we look forward to self-growth while developing excitement, challenges and changes in work. When this is possible, we can see ourselves and our work from a new perspective.

13. Give work meaning. A conductor once asked a clarinetist to sit in the audience and listen to the performance. It was the first time the performer heard music. After that, not only did his playing skills become superb, but he also began to compose music. This is growth, not because of changing working methods, but because of giving meaning to work.

14. Pursue unexpected success. The most effective way to promote your own growth is to find and pursue unexpected successes. Yet most people focus only on the problems and ignore the evidence of success.

15. What do you want to be remembered for. When I was 13, a teacher asked each of his students, "What do you want to be remembered for?" No one had an answer. The teacher smiled and said: "There is no need to rush to answer now. However, it would be bad if you still can't answer it when you are 50 years old, because you have wasted your life."

16. Questions to promote your own growth . Even today, I continue to ask myself "What do you want to be remembered for?" This question can push you to constantly surpass yourself.

Because it forces you to see yourself as someone special and making a difference.

17. The achievement of results is not guaranteed. The most accurate thing is acrobatics. The so-called results are formed by continuous performance over a long period of time.

18. Results are the prerequisite for self-realization. People who achieve results are indispensable to society. At the same time, achieving results is a prerequisite for self-realization for them, whether they are newcomers or key employees in the company.

19. Give your best. The first priority is to do your best. People can only do a good job by relying on their own abilities, and only by making the best results can they gain the trust and cooperation of others.

20. The difference between those who have achieved results and those who have not is not talent, but whether they have developed some habitual attitudes and mastered basic methods. But because organizations are a recent invention, people are not good enough at these things.

21. What people who achieve results have in common. People who achieve results vary widely in temperament, abilities, types of work and methods, personalities, knowledge and interests. The only thing they have in common is the ability to do their jobs.

22. Achieving results is a habit and the continuous accumulation of practical ability. Practical ability can be developed very easily, surprisingly easily.

23. Ordinary people can master practical skills, but they may not be outstanding. It takes special talent to be outstanding. But to achieve results, only average ability is enough.

24. Five practical abilities are necessary to achieve results:

First, you must know what takes up your time, and then systematically manage the little time left.

Second, focus on contribution to the outside world.

Third, focus on strengths.

Fourth, decide your priorities and focus your efforts on areas of outstanding work that can achieve significant results.

Fifth, make decisions to achieve results.

25. The result of problem solving is simply a return to normalcy. At best, it removes obstacles to the ability to achieve results. Results can only be achieved through the creation of opportunities.

26. The necessary conditions for achieving results in new tasks are not profound knowledge and outstanding talents. Instead, focus on the requirements of new tasks, new challenges, work, and important parts of the project.

27. To maximize productivity, results, that is, the output of work, are the core. It cannot be based on investment in skills or knowledge. Skills, information, and knowledge are just tools.

28. The results determine when and where to use what tools, determine the necessary work, and also determine the work process, the design of management methods, and the use of tools.

29. The process of achieving results is a revolution in itself, requiring unprecedented innovation and thinking and acting like the head of an organization.

30. There is a kind of qualification that cannot be learned, but is innate. It cannot be obtained from the outside world, but it must be mastered. This qualification is not talent, but sincerity.

31. When the starting point is the question of what contribution one should make, man is free. Take responsibility and be free.

32. Almost all people will focus on their subordinates. Instead of focusing on results, focus on authority. If we always care about what the organization and our superiors should do for us and what our own authority is, we will not be able to truly achieve results.

33. In order to achieve results, we must consider our contribution. Put aside the work at hand, turn your attention to the goal, ask yourself what useful contribution you can make to the organization's results, and focus on accountability.

34. Whether it is the content, level, and impact of work, or the relationship with bosses, colleagues, subordinates, or even daily affairs, focusing on contribution is the key to success.

35. Focusing on contribution enables us to acquire the basic abilities necessary for success in communication, cooperation, self-inspiration, and talent cultivation.

36. Ask yourself about your contribution to the organization, that is, think about what kind of self-enlightenment you need, what kind of knowledge and skills you need to master, what kind of advantages you can use in your work, and what kind of standards you should set for yourself.

37. Exploring your own contribution is pursuing your vision. Thinking about it this way, in the grand scheme of things, we can see that what are considered outstanding achievements in many jobs are actually very small contributions.

38. By focusing on contribution, you will not only focus on your own area of ??expertise and the results of the entire organization, but also the only place where results exist—the outside world.

39. By paying attention to the outside world, we can even know what others need, pay attention to, and understand unintentionally. Then we can ask members within the organization, that is, bosses, subordinates, and colleagues in other areas, "What should I do to help you contribute to the organization?" "When, how, and in what way should I assist?"

40. Don’t focus too much on the future. In order to make the contribution plan clear and concrete, the maximum time limit should be limited to one and a half years. The question is what results can be achieved in a year and a half.
