"I think I should talk to my boss. You know, this job is very important to me. " Monaghan spread out his hands and said. My colleague frowned and said, "It's no use, monaghan. Even if you go to the boss, you can't change the result of being fired. " "How do you know if you don't try?" Monaghan said firmly and walked into the boss's office. As expected, a week later, monaghan was fired by his boss. "This is really too much" and "I know it's a waste of effort" ...

Try it backwards

1881July, American president james garfield was assassinated at Washington station, and he was seriously injured and needed surgery urgently. But it was summer and the temperature was as high as 40℃. The doctor asked to lower the temperature below 30℃ to ensure the success of the operation. Therefore, the American government gave this arduous task to an engineer named Xie Duo.

However, at that time, cooling indoor air, let alone Xie Duo, was never done by some scientists. In many people's experiments. Except for the snow and ice in the mountains, there is no artificial cooling method in this world.

Xie Duo is a thinking engineer. He once worked in a mine and knew how to dilute the air, thus reducing the gas concentration in the coal mine roadway. He thought, since air will release heat after compression, will it also absorb heat when the compressed air returns to its original normal state? Xie Duo immediately started the experiment and found that reducing compressed air can cool the surrounding air. So Xie Duo installed such a machine in the president's ward and successfully lowered the indoor temperature from 37℃ to 25℃. Therefore, Xie Duo became the inventor of the world's first air conditioner and turned himself from an unknown engineer into a pioneer of a new life.

The invention of vacuum cleaner. I have had such an experience of "trying backwards". One year, people held a "dust collector" performance in London. The working principle of "vacuum cleaner" is to blow away dust with the wind, so many spectators at the scene are blown all over with dust. People come back disappointed on a whim. A man named Booth thought: Blowing dust doesn't seem to work, can you find another way? How about blowing dust instead of vacuuming? Booth came home, covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and leaned on the ground to inhale hard through his mouth. As a result, the dust no longer flies around, but is adsorbed on the handkerchief. Later, the vacuum cleaner was made according to Booth's idea.

Not only Shedo and Booth, there are many examples in the world that skillfully use reverse thinking to make themselves successful. On the way to success, we often encounter many seemingly insurmountable obstacles. When we can't solve them by conventional methods, we should learn to turn our minds around-try the other way around. Because facts show that many creative leaps are often the result of breaking through conventional and habitual thinking. A road. When we clearly see that there is a dead end ahead, we might as well try to turn around, maybe the surprise of a bright future is not far away!

Why some people are more successful than others, earn more money and have better jobs. And many people are busy with work but can only make a living. In fact, there is not much difference between people.

Many psychologists have found that this secret is the "mentality" of people. A philosopher said, "Your mentality is your real master." A great man once said, "Either you control life, or life controls you." Your mentality determines who is the mount and who is the jockey. "

Many years ago, two brothers lived in a poor village in Fujian. Unable to stand the harsh environment, they decided to leave their hometown and seek development overseas. Big brother seems very lucky. He went to San Francisco, which is rich, and his brother went to the Philippines, which is poorer than China.

Forty years later, the two brothers were lucky to get together again. They are not who they used to be. The eldest brother became an overseas Chinese leader in San Francisco, with two restaurants, two laundries and a grocery store, and his descendants were full. Some of them inherited the mantle, while others became outstanding engineers and other scientific and technological professionals.

Where's the younger brother? In fact, he has become a world-famous banker, with a considerable number of forests, rubber plantations and banks in Southeast Asia. After decades of hard work, they all succeeded. But why are there such differences in the career achievements of the two brothers?

My brother said that since we China people have no special talents in white society, we can only cook and wash clothes for white people with one pair of hands. In a word, we in China have taken all the jobs that white people refuse to do, and our lives are fine, but we dare not expect anything from our careers. For example, my children and grandchildren, although they have read a lot of books, dare not dream. They can only make a living by doing some intermediate technical work with peace of mind.

Seeing his brother's success, a brother can't help admiring his luck. The younger brother said there was no luck. When I first came to the Philippines, I did some rough work, but I found that the locals were a little lazy, so I gave up my career and gradually acquired and expanded, and my business gradually expanded.

This is the true struggle history of overseas Chinese. It tells us that it is not only the environment that affects our lives, but also the mentality that controls our actions and thoughts. At the same time, mentality also determines a person's vision, career and achievements.

Whether a person can succeed depends on his mentality. The difference between winners and losers is that winners always dominate and control their lives with the most positive thinking, the most optimistic spirit and the most brilliant experience. The loser is dominated by all kinds of failures and doubts in previous lives.

Someone once did an experiment: organize three groups of people and let them walk along three villages ten kilometers away. The people in the first group didn't know the name of the village or how far it was. They just told them to follow the guide. Just walked two or three kilometers, someone complained, and on the way, someone almost exploded with anger. They complained about why they had to go so far and when they could go. Some people even sit on the side of the road and don't want to go. The farther they go, the more depressed they are.

The people in the second group know the name of the village and the road section, but there are no milestones on the roadside. They can only estimate the travel time and distance by experience. Halfway through, most people want to know how far they have gone. More experienced people say, "About half." So everyone pushed forward again. When they reached three-quarters of the journey, everyone was depressed and exhausted, and the journey seemed to be long. When someone says, "Almost there!" Everyone cheered again and quickened their pace.

The people in the third group not only know the name and distance of the village, but also have a milestone every kilometer on the road. People walk and watch milestones. Every kilometer shortened, everyone will have a little happiness. During the journey, they used songs and laughter to eliminate fatigue, and their mood was always high, and they soon reached their destination.

Revelation:

When people have a clear goal in action, and constantly compare their actions with the goal, and clearly know their own speed and distance from the goal, the motivation of action will be maintained and strengthened, and people will consciously overcome all difficulties and strive to achieve the goal.

There was a clever boy whose mother took him to the grocery store one day. When the boss saw the lovely child, he opened a can of candy and asked the little boy to get one for himself. But the boy did not move. The boss called again, but the boy still didn't move. The boss came and grabbed a handful of candy and put it in the child's pocket.

When I got home, my mother asked the little boy, "Why don't you grab the candy yourself?" The little boy replied beautifully, "because my hands are smaller!" The boss has a bigger hand, and he must take more than me! "

My ability is always limited, while others are better than myself in many ways. Unfortunately, many times, we are not as smart as this boy.

It's beautiful to hold your head up and hold your chest high.

Although it is a black cow, the milk is white.

Jenny is a little girl who always lowers her head. She always feels that she is not beautiful enough. One day, she went to the jewelry store and bought a green bow. The shopkeeper kept praising her for wearing a beautiful bow. Although Jenny doesn't believe it, she is very happy. She couldn't help raising her head, eager to show it to everyone. It doesn't matter if she accidentally bumped into someone when she went out.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher head-on. "Jenny, it's nice to look up!" "The teacher lovingly patted her on the shoulder.

That day, she was praised by many people. She thought it must be a bow, but when she looked in front of the mirror, there was no bow on her head. She must have lost it when she came out of the jewelry store.

Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people lose a lot of happiness because they care too much about appearance.

Tips: Whether you are poor or rich, whether you look like a fairy or plain, as long as you hold your head high, happiness will make you cute-the kind that everyone likes.

All flowers are beautiful.

What Jessie will never forget is a lunch time in her third grade. In the school rehearsal, she was chosen to play the princess in the play. For weeks, my mother took pains to practice her lines with him. But no matter how freely she expressed herself at home, as soon as she stood on the stage, all the words in his mind disappeared.

Finally, the teacher had to ask Jessica to step aside. She explained that he added a narrator role to the dramatic increase and asked him to change his role. Although his words were kind and tactful, they still hurt Jesse deeply-especially when he saw that his role was taken away by another girl.

When I went home for lunch that day, Jessie didn't tell her mother what had happened. However, his mother sensed his anxiety and asked him if he wanted to take a walk in the yard instead of suggesting that they connect their lines.

It is a bright spring day, and the rose vines on the trellis are glowing with bright new green. Jesse caught a glimpse of his mother bending over a dandelion. I think I must pull up all these weeds. She said, uproot it. From now on, there are only roses in our yard.

"But I like dandelions," Jesse protested. All flowers are beautiful, even dandelions!

Mother looked at her with a serious expression. Yes, every flower gives people pleasure with its own charm, doesn't it? He said thoughtfully.

Jesse nodded, glad that he had defeated his mother.

So do people. Mom added that not everyone can be a princess, but it's not a shame.

Jesse knew that his mother had just felt her pain. He told her what had happened and burst into tears. Mom smiled with relief, but you will be an excellent teacher. The inspirational film "Mother Says" reminds Jesse how much he loves reading stories to himself. The role of a Taoist is as important as that of a princess.

In this world, there are many things waiting for us to do, including big undertakings and small things, but as long as it is conducive to success, we must work hard to do it.

Everything constitutes a complete world, and every part is indispensable. If you can't be the sun in life, be a little star! If you can't be a towering tree, be a grass below it! Not everyone can be a captain, so be a qualified sailor! In fact, the question is not what you are doing and what kind of occupation you are engaged in, but whether you can be a good person and finish your work well.

Broken Arrow

If you don't believe in your will, you'll never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and son went to war. The father became a general and the son was just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums roared, and my father solemnly raised an quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is the treasure arrow at home. It is extremely powerful when you carry it with you, but you must never take it out. "

This is an extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide, inlaid with faint shiny copper edges, and look at the arrow's exposed tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers. The son is beaming and greedily speculates about the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander died in response.

Sure enough, Bao Jian's son is heroic and invincible. When the trumpet sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory, completely abandoned his father's advice, and his strong desire drove him to shout and pull out his treasure arrow, trying to find out. Suddenly he was shocked.

A broken arrow, there is a broken arrow in the quiver.

I have been fighting with a broken arrow! My son broke out in a cold sweat, as if the house had lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.

The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.

Sweeping away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general."

How stupid it is to pin victory or defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is for a person to give the core and handle of life to others! For example, pin your hopes on children; Put happiness on her husband; Insure the crew with life insurance ...

Hint: You are an arrow. You want it to be tough, you want it to be sharp, you want it to go through a hundred paces and hit a hundred shots, you sharpen it, and only you can save it.

The value of life

Don't let yesterday's depression cover up tomorrow's dreams!

At a seminar, an excellent speaker held a $20 bill in his hand and made no opening remarks. Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $20?" Put one hand up. He went on to say, "I want to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." As he spoke, he crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants more?" There are people holding hands.

He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on it and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the dirty and wrinkled bill.

"Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands.

"My friends, you had a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, and it's still worth 20 dollars. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed by our own decisions or adversity countless times. We feel as if we are worthless. But no matter what happens, or what will happen, you will never lose value in the eyes of God. In his view, dirty or clean, dressed neatly or sloppy, you are still priceless. "

Tips: The value of life lies not in what we do, nor in who we make friends with, but in ourselves! We are unique-never forget this!
