Which successful person doesn't start from small things?
Hehe, I like ancient culture, so let me tell you something about Confucius. Confucius experienced many hardships in his life. His father was born Confucius at the age of 66 (the top ten were daughters). When Confucius was three years old, his father Shu died. He lived alone with his mother, who was only 28 years old. Think about it. A widow with a child? Can you not be laughed at in ancient times? Confucius' mother is from Meng Mu (have you heard of Meng Mu's three tricks? ), a woman who is not afraid of dragging down Confucius' growth, no matter how hard she works, she has not neglected her studies. Confucius learned to be happy at an early age, and earned money to support his family through these things. So Confucius said when he was young, "I am cheap because I am few, so I can despise." . Confucius was humiliated by a servant of a big family before, but only after he came back from traveling around the world did he know that etiquette, music, shooting, imperial examinations, mathematics and art were all appreciated by the master of Lu, and then used by Ji (the servant bullied his family). His talent is easy to be a big official, but he has been a warehouse manager one after another, keeping only one row of accounts, and then he is appreciated as a ranch manager. Someone asked Confucius why he did such a small thing. Isn't it a waste of talent? Confucius said, since you have done something, no matter how big or small, you should do it well. He said, to be a man, you should look down on your eyes. (Note that the ancient term "eyes are superior but eyes are inferior" is not a derogatory term now, but a long-term vision and lofty goals, but you should lower your status and start with small things). Later, Confucius became the first and only recognized "saint" in China, and his words, deeds and stories changed the Chinese nation. The success of saints begins with small things, not to mention our doors. In fact, in ancient times, the phrase "don't be stingy with small gifts, don't care about small details" means that you don't have to care about small etiquette when you do big things, and you don't have to care about small blame when you talk about big etiquette. But it doesn't mean not to start with small things, but to say that there can only be one big one and one small one, so take the big one. Isn't there a saying that details determine success or failure? If you don't start with small things, how can you have the ability to pay attention to details? Therefore, a successful person should be a person with superior ability, but you must do small things that others disdain to do. This is my opinion, I hope it can help you.
