Know yourself

The most terrifying thing in the world is not your opponent, but yourself. Your fragile heart is your most terrifying enemy. In your life, there is one person who needs your support, encouragement and understanding. There is one person who is your most trustworthy person. Who is this person? It is yourself. Have you ever thought about whether people pay attention to themselves or others first in life? "Of course it's me." You said without any doubt. You are right. When you take a group photo, everyone’s eyes will be on themselves first. But people often don't recognize themselves: "How could I do such a thing or say such a thing? It's unbelievable." Some people will suddenly lose themselves when they encounter an unexpected blow and cannot extricate themselves. "My heart is broken, I am disheartened, I am still afraid of the dark, and no one can comfort me. Who am I? A devil? An angel?" The famous painter Paul Gauguin once painted a painting that shocked the world. The classic work: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?" expresses the confusion and confusion that some modern people have about themselves. Therefore, today with the rapid development of science and technology, many people still know and understand themselves like children in kindergarten and do not develop their own personality and strengths. Don’t you know where your personality flaws are? All kinds of human tragedies resulting from this are not uncommon. Whether it is a historical portrayal or a literary work, tragic characters can find reasons from personality imbalance and loss of self. Without mirrors, without going to the river and taking a look, humans might never know what they look like. Similarly, if people don't look at themselves, look inwards, and sit down and think about it seriously, it will be difficult to understand their unpredictable thoughts, emotions, and self-expression. When you face failure and setbacks, you look down on yourself, get angry with yourself, throw things, curse people, beat your head, and sigh endlessly, have you ever thought that this does not relieve your failure or alleviate your frustration? Have you ever wondered: Who is stopping you from achieving success? This person is yourself. It turns out that the most terrifying thing in the world is not your opponent, but yourself. Your fragile heart is your most terrifying enemy. In your life, there is a person who needs your support, encouragement and understanding. There is a person who is your most trustworthy person. Who is this person? It's you again. If you worry about not being good-looking, you will only get uglier; if you always doubt whether you can succeed in your studies, you can only endure the pain of failure. Compared with beautiful women, your facial features will always be flawed. But everyone exists as an independent individual, and you can only sing in your own way. You have your own strengths, a wise mind, and a considerate attitude. If you give full play to your strengths and talents, your little eyes will be regarded as a symbol of wisdom. No wonder someone wrote a book like this: "Being a Dwarf for All Life". Only by finding a breakthrough in "inferiority" can we change ourselves. You may know the story of "The White Swan". When a swan flies across the sky, its white feathers and dignified posture make people marvel. However, in the works of Danish fairy tale writer Andersen, this beautiful swan turned out to be an "ugly duckling". When it first hatched out of its shell, it was so thin that those self-righteous ducks looked down upon it. It kept training itself silently, day after day, and finally fluttered its wings into the blue sky one morning. Celebrities with outstanding achievements from ancient times to the present have aroused the envy and admiration of many people. When these people stand in front of people, people feel that they have a kind of personality charm all over their bodies, but they are not all lucky ones who have made great achievements. Looking at the experiences of each of them, almost all of them have had the ups and downs of being an "ugly duckling". They are good at using their flaws as the foundation for a perfect personality, thus creating a character of unyielding struggle. When U.S. Senator Elmo Thomas was 16 years old, he was very tall, but very thin. Other little boys called him "Skinny Bamboo Stick". He spent every day and every hour complaining about his tall, thin and weak figure. worry. Later, a speech contest gave him a big turning point. Encouraged by his mother, he spent a lot of time preparing for his speech. He memorized all the speech notes and practiced them over 100 times with cows, sheep and trees, and finally won first place. The audience cheered him and the boys who laughed at him were envious. Since then, his confidence has increased thousands of times, and he is gradually heading towards the door of success. When he recalled the past, he said: "I remember when I was wearing my father's old clothes and the big shoes that were almost falling off, it was so annoying. I was often defeated by my own hands! Facing the person in the mirror, You might as well ask: Who is he (she)? Please don't laugh at me. As the saying goes: a person's biggest enemy is himself. But, to defeat this biggest enemy, you must first know yourself. How many people have thought about how much you know yourself? When you pretend to be chic for the sake of grace, pretend to be deep for the sake of maturity, and follow others' opinions, have you secretly thought, do I know myself? When you are running around in vain doing what you can do, do you remember that sentence: If it is not yours, don't force it. Of course we long for a chic appearance and harmonious interpersonal relationships; we cannot lack tenacious perseverance and enterprising spirit. Lose yourself because of blind pursuit; don’t feel ashamed because you don’t have the appearance of a moonlit flower.

To find yourself, the important thing is not to be superficial, but to have rich connotations, to speak and do things naturally like flowing clouds and flowing water. Find yourself, establish yourself, and believe in yourself. When you are confused, you don’t need to pray to the gods. When you are sad, you don’t need to look to the deep night sky. It is best to rely on yourself. Be sure that God is me! "There has never been a savior." Only by knowing yourself and objectively evaluating yourself can you find your position. Only by recognizing your true self can you let go of hope, rush out of the vast sea, and find your own sky; create brilliance and play the most beautiful movement in life.

Here are some materials for you:

Knowing oneself means doing a self-reflection on one’s own decisions and behaviors every time after going through a period of time and experiencing something. process.

First of all, self-understanding allows us to have a correct positioning of ourselves and a correct grasp of the direction of our efforts. "A ruler is long, an inch is short." When doing things, we should not just aim at interests, but should have a good positioning of our own abilities and specialties, so that we can improve ourselves in future study and work. Be able to make choices and choose a direction or role that is more suitable for you to accomplish your goals. Secondly, self-awareness is a spurring force that can bring you the motivation to keep moving forward. Self-understanding is not necessarily something that can be criticized deliberately, but it should also be a kind of praise for the results of our efforts, giving us the confidence and motivation to move forward. Finally, a very important point is that self-understanding can improve personality. No one is born excellent. Everyone constantly reflects and thinks in life

I can reflect in time and prefer to calm down and think. things, summarize your own strengths and weaknesses from life experiences, and listen extensively to the opinions of others. The shortcoming is that there is a stubborn element in my personality. Although I sometimes realize the shortcomings, I fail to improve them in time. But I hope that through my own efforts, I can grow up step by step in a step-by-step process.

Others’ reflection on themselves is a mirror. We are the ones who look in the mirror. Reflecting on ourselves through others is a means and a way, which plays a supporting role. We ourselves are the leaders. Are we willing? It is essentially up to us to recognize our shortcomings. We should be good at summarizing and improving our own shortcomings.

We are both only children, and only children have a stronger sense of independence. We are not selfish and arrogant as the society says. We also have our own excellent qualities, but we do have shortcomings. We lack the ability to communicate with others. People work together as a team and have a stubborn opinion on things. We should listen more to other people's opinions, see more of the advantages in others, find ways to carry forward our own advantages, make up for our shortcomings, better integrate into collective life, and be an independent, strong and person with a perfect personality.

Everyone’s life should be meaningful and valuable. If you want to make your life meaningful and valuable, you must take the path of life well, understand yourself correctly, and improve on this basis. Self, let your shining point shine, give full play to your talents, and create a wonderful future for yourself.

Knowing yourself is the first step towards success.

A philosopher said it well: If you can't be a road, then be a small road; if you can't be the sun, then be a star... What determines success or failure is not the size, but the size. Can you be the best version of yourself? In the sea, for a ship without a compass, the wind in any direction is a headwind. The same is true for a person's life. Once a person's growth compass fails, it will be like a sailboat that has lost its course. It will lose itself in the wind and rain of life, and even the "Life" that has been singing all the way will sink forever! A successful person once said: "He who can find his own direction and lead himself forward, the whole world will make way for him." Therefore, everyone who desires success should understand themselves, ignite their ideals, seek guidance, and face reality. , approve the positioning... Only in this way can the compass of life be revitalized. Guide yourself to the other side of success!

Therefore, Carnegie believes that if we want to firmly establish a sense of self-confidence and a mentality of success, it is not enough just to have good intentions. It is also unreliable to expect something to be successful. The most reliable foundation is to know yourself. Only when you understand yourself can you know what you can do and find the confidence to do what you want to do well; then your success will be more confident.

"Know yourself" is the only inscription engraved in the temple in the ancient Greek city of Delphi. It is like a torch that lasts for thousands of years, expressing the inherent inner requirements and supremacy of human beings. thinking proposition. Nietzsche once said: "As long as a smart person can understand himself, he has nothing to lose." Now, with the continuous development of society, people's understanding of themselves has also entered a breakthrough new stage. In fact, everyone has huge potential, everyone has his own unique personality and strengths, everyone can choose his own goals and strive for his own success through unremitting efforts.

Many times, we only focus on trying to do what we want to do, but often ignore what we can do. The reason is because we don’t know ourselves well and don’t know what we are good at, so we lose it. Your own creativity.

Regarding our own creativity, our previous understanding was very narrow. People only paid attention to those famous scientists, inventors, writers and artists who had extraordinary creativity, the so-called "genius creativity". Regarding creativity, we need to change our mindset and recognize and value a wide range of creativity. Because creativity is not the privilege and patent of some "genius" people and professionals, but a potential ability that everyone has. It's just that some people don't know themselves well enough and haven't noticed it.

We know that any successful writer, musician or inventor, of course, their labor is to develop their own creative potential. And for a pure housewife who has never gone to school, comes from a poor background, has never engaged in any professional or ability training, she may not be devoid of creativity. She may spend very little money to arrange the family's daily life quite well; she may be a wonderful cook, and the meals she cooks are very delicious; she may have many unique, novel, and innovative ways of handling housework and decorating the home environment. Sophistication, aren’t these expressions of creativity? Anything can be done creatively. Almost everyone has the potential for creativity, but it's just because you don't know yourself and haven't thought that all roles and jobs can be creative or not. This is caused by the lack of self-understanding, and it is also the difference between a successful person and an ordinary person.

For example, there is a psychotherapist who has never written a book or created any new theories. But he enjoys helping others improve their lives. He treats every patient as a unique person in the world. He does not have many advanced theories and preconceived frameworks, but he has child-like innocence and outstanding wisdom. He can understand and solve the problems he faces in a flexible and novel way, even on cases that other colleagues seem to be very difficult. All were successful. This shows that he has his own uniqueness and proves that his work is creative.

So, the realm of life is composed of one's own consciousness, and this seems to be getting more and more blurred in the modern flashy world. There are too many outsiders' expectations, everyone is waiting, and too many expectations. Public expectations enrich our lives and create a void in our own ideal world. Such a blank space is too wide and too large, like a bird flying across the ocean, which makes people hesitate when speaking. In their eyes, the future is even very vague and they can't find their own direction.

Some people also show that they feel that they are not smart enough and often doubt whether their brains are strong enough. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. The brain's potential to receive, store and synthesize various information is extremely huge. In this field, many psychologists in the United States and the former Soviet Union have conducted a large number of studies and experiments, and the results are very enlightening for people to re-understand themselves. Only by re-recognizing yourself can you truly understand yourself and then achieve your own success.

Therefore, people should calm down, learn to sort out the restless thoughts in their hearts, sit quietly and observe the mind, and realize the true and false. In silence, thoughts and considerations are clear, and the true nature of the heart can be seen; in leisure, the atmosphere is calm, and the true intention of the heart is recognized; in lightness, the interest and interest are eliminated, and the true taste of the heart is obtained. To be able to imagine, observing the mind and realizing the Tao actually lies in oneself. All achievements start with an idea. Knowing yourself is half the battle. Everyone hopes to be able to control their own life, realize their ideal self, and control their own destiny. After we understand where "I" comes from, what "I" can do, and where "I" is going, we should then answer how "I" can reach the destination set in our hearts. Only by knowing yourself can you clarify your goals more clearly. It can be said that knowing oneself is the foundation of a person's work and the source of all success.

In our lives, some people work very hard, but in the end they still fail. Hard work does not necessarily mean success, the key lies in knowing yourself. In the seventeenth century, there was a child who loved the violin, trained hard, and hoped to become an excellent violinist one day. However, contrary to expectations, his violin skills made no progress, and even his mother persuaded him to learn something else. Fortunately, he finally realized what he was suitable for and what he was not suitable for. In the end, he became a famous scientist in the seventeenth century. He was Einstein.

Just imagine, if Einstein did not have a correct understanding of himself, then there would be no current theory of relativity.

We can say that a person with a successful psychological quality can calmly and rationally find out the gap between the real self and the ideal self, so as to clarify the direction of his progress, calmly and rationally Steady through good times and bad. By analyzing ourselves, we can clearly know which aspects still need to "grow" in the current work we are engaged in; what knowledge and abilities we must have in order to achieve our goals. In this way, we can continuously improve and improve ourselves and achieve higher goals.

Only knowing yourself and positioning yourself appropriately are the foundation for a person to start a business and an important prerequisite for achieving self-success. To do this, you must understand your own ideals and values, understand what your interests, hobbies, expertise, temperament, and personality are, and find a career position that interests you and matches your personality and expertise. Only in this way will it be beneficial to your own development.

In modern society, because occupations have different characteristics, they also have different requirements for the personality characteristics of employees.

Generally speaking, a cheerful, lively, enthusiastic, and gentle personality is more suitable for a career in dealing with people; an introverted and stubborn personality is more suitable for scientific research and scholarship; a deep, thoughtful personality A serious and conscientious character is more suitable for personnel, administration, and party affairs; bravery, calmness, courage and determination are indispensable characters for entrepreneurs and managers. Only by knowing yourself can you find a job that you are qualified for, work with ease and skill, and do the job well.

However, people now do not realize that when they are employed or starting a business, they never seriously think about and understand themselves, and blindly use the popular industries and popular units in society to position themselves. Some people seemed to understand themselves in the past, but when the environment changes, they may lose themselves and find it difficult to position themselves. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be interested in only one aspect; many interests are often intertwined. No matter what you are interested in, you must be clear when applying for a job and do not choose a job that you are not interested in. Especially an entrepreneur should consider more aspects of the path he chooses.

For a graduate, it is necessary to systematically organize the knowledge and abilities developed during school, and objectively evaluate one's theoretical knowledge, practical abilities, interpersonal skills, style, etc. aspect level. Before choosing a career, you should think carefully about what kind of talents and professional expertise I have, what my various comprehensive qualities and abilities can do, what kind of professional work I am suitable for, and more importantly, I must understand myself deeply. In reality, when many students choose a career, they consider more about what career they want to engage in and what kind of work they are willing to do, but rarely take a comprehensive look at themselves from the perspective of what they can do.

In life, there are some people who always like to follow others. Whatever kind of job they are looking for or what kind of career they are doing, they will learn what they do. This is absolutely wrong. In real life, this has become a tendency. In fact, these people have never thought about whether you can do what others can do. For example, the ancient Sima Qian, in the eyes of others, he was completely a A useless person, Socrates dragged his fat body around every day, and Beethoven was deaf in the eyes of others, but they all exceeded other people's expectations and became great men. If it were you, could you do it? We can't help but reflect on their self-understanding of life. All people with great spirituality have a heart of self-understanding. Strong spiritual awareness can help them eliminate interference from the outside world. In their hearts, the direction they choose leads to the spiritual palace. Shortcuts, no matter what the circumstances are, they strive hard on the path of their choice and never give up. "Through hardships and hardships, you will succeed." They move toward glory amidst the paradox of others' expectations. No matter whether people are noble, wretched, excellent, despicable, intelligent or dull, they often lose themselves in the rush of people. With no time for self-reflection, I often wipe your unclear eyes.

Therefore, if you know yourself, you can know the world. When a person fundamentally understands himself, he can take the initiative to shape himself. Once you have a point of support in your heart, you gain a true inner strength that will continue to guide, encourage and push you to achieve a successful life. Knowing yourself is a gold mine. With confidence, autonomy, and self-love, you will be able to show your due style in your life.

Therefore, if you want to be a successful person in your career, then you must learn to know yourself!
