Success is easier than failure, as long as you have a goal, know what you want, take action and tell yourself never to give up. Success is only a matter of time.
In the process of studying how to succeed, I found that success is a state of mind, a habit, a way of thinking and a way of life.
Success means doing simple things repeatedly, because repetition is the mother of learning; Success is easier than failure, as long as you have a goal, know what you want, take action and tell yourself never to give up. Success is only a matter of time.
However, everyone has a different definition of success, and only you know what your value and hope are. Usually I ask myself to succeed first, and then I teach others to succeed. My definition of success is: make a little progress every day.
Therefore, I don't need to wait until I have a 10 million mansion, and I don't need to wait until someone tells me that you have succeeded. For me, as long as I keep improving and breaking through every day, I am a successful person every day.
The belief in success
What is the difference between success and failure? What qualities do winners have that losers lack? Before I tell you the difference between the two, I'll tell you the importance of a successful person's "psychological preparation", that is, "belief".
Milan Tiff, the world triple jump champion, suffered from polio before he was eight years old. He learned to walk and run by himself and worked out what posture conforms to the laws of nature. As a result, he jumped out of the world's farthest record.
When I asked him, "What made you an Olympic gold medalist and a world record holder?"
He replied, "When I took part in the competition, most people were watching my performance in the long jump. In fact, the success of any sports competition depends not only on the moment he performs, but also on the preparations he made before the performance. "
So he can know the degree of muscle relaxation and the chances of winning just by watching the warm-up exercises done by athletes.
Whether he can perform well depends not on whether this person can, but on whether this person's mentality has reached its peak at that moment, whether he is psychologically prepared and whether he has the belief of winning.
Share the following important beliefs that have changed your life:
One of the beliefs of success: the past is not equal to the future.
More than a decade ago, the movie superstar Sylvester Stallone was down and out, with only $ 100 left. He can't even afford to rent a house and sleep in a beetle. At that time, he was determined to become an actor and confidently applied for a job in a film company in new york, but because of his plain appearance and inarticulate speech, everyone was rejected. After all 500 film companies in new york rejected him, he still insisted on the belief that "the past is not equal to the future" and tried again from the first film company. After being rejected 1500 times, he wrote the script of Loki, which was recommended everywhere and continued to be laughed at. But in the end, Sylvester, who persisted in the end, became an internationally renowned superstar.
Can you face 1855 rejections and still not give up? Sylvester can do what others can't, so he can succeed. I'm sure you can if you want.
The second belief of success: there is no failure, only temporary suspension of success.
If you are a parent, how many opportunities will you give your child when he learns to walk? Will you put him in a wheelchair after he falls down ten times? Or just give him twenty chances to learn to walk and give up if he can't learn to walk? Or when fifty people around you clamored for you to give up, you decided to put him in a wheelchair? I think your answer is: no.
Indeed, when I ask every parent, how many times will I give your child a chance? They all said: I will give him countless opportunities until he stands up and learns to walk! Yes, those who persist to the end will eventually stand up. Why do many parents give their children only one chance to take the joint exam? Why do you often tell your child in a disappointed tone that he is not suitable for a certain industry and let him change careers?
However, many people think they are incompetent and give up their ideals because they don't have firm beliefs. In fact, nothing has failed, only a temporary suspension of success.
The third belief of success: God's delay is not God's refusal.
There is a man:
Twenty-one years old, business failure.
At the age of 22, he lost the election for the state legislature.
At the age of 24, business failed again.
At the age of 26, my lover died.
At the age of 27, he had a nervous breakdown.
At the age of thirty-four, he lost the election of the Federal House of Representatives.
At the age of 36, he ran for the federal house of representatives and lost again.
At the age of forty-five, he lost the election for the United States Senate.
47 years old, the vice presidential nomination failed.
At the age of 49, he ran for the United States Senate and lost again.
At the age of 52, he was elected as the sixteenth president of the United States.
This man is Lincoln, because he firmly believes that God's delay is not God's rejection, so he can rise again and again and finally achieve extraordinary results.
The fourth belief of success: Everything happened with a purpose and helped me. I once met a lively lady at a seminar. Throughout the meeting, she was very humorous and enthusiastic. Everyone was infected by the jokes she blurted out. No one expected that she had a bumpy growing experience. This woman, Kathy, has been considered mentally retarded since she was a child. She stayed in a school for the mentally retarded until she was five years old, only to find that she was deaf instead of mentally retarded. So she transferred to a special school and lived a normal life with hearing AIDS until she was a teenager. Just when life was just getting better, an unexpected car accident made her stay in the hospital for two years.
At that time, she asked herself: Why are there so many disappointments in my life? But she immediately became convinced that everything must have a purpose and help me. So, bite the bullet and tide over the difficulties together.
Later, Kathy made a boyfriend, and when her life improved again, she had two breasts removed because of breast cancer. However, despite all kinds of disappointment, she still believes that everything happened with a purpose and helped me. When her mother said to her apologetically, "Kathy, I'm really sorry to make you like this," she replied, "Mom, you gave me a wonderful life. Because of this, I have the enthusiasm to share my experience with others today, turn fear into strength, turn pressure into motivation, and let myself find a gift worth collecting in every difficulty. "
Did her story enlighten you?
The fifth belief of success: What matters is not what happens, but what you do to improve it.
Buddhists say that adversity is "increasing the upper edge", which can not be met. When encountering difficulties, what matters is not what happened, but what attitude you are prepared to face and what you are prepared to do to improve.
Faith of success 6: I am fully responsible for my life.
Winners are 100% responsible for things. The definition of responsibility is to have control forever. If you can't control your life, you are likely to drift with the tide all your life.
People who take full responsibility for life live for themselves and learn to think of others.
The seventh belief of success: to change things, change yourself first, make things better, and make yourself better first.
Once I failed to promote the car, I complained to the company manager that the color of the car was too small, the variety was single and the bonus was not rich enough. The manager ignored my chatter and silently drew a picture on the paper. Ask me: "XXX can earn 5 thousand yuan." Isn't the product he sells different from yours, and the bonus system is richer than yours? And you can only earn 1000 yuan. What's the difference? "
"It's me." I have to lower my head.
Figure 1: (omitted)
To make things change, you must first change yourself. In order to make things better, we must be better. Most people always complain about others when they are in trouble, but how helpful is complaining to solve the problem? If it is not very helpful, then why not try to change yourself first, maybe the effect will be better.
Faith of success 8: If I can't, I must; If necessary, I can. A course I attended in the United States to stimulate my potential was a fire accident: I walked barefoot through red-hot charcoal at a high temperature of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
I will always remember the first time I attended a fire escape meeting, which was at midnight. 12 foot long charcoal with sparks reminded me of the meat on the barbecue, which was very scary. At that time, my teacher Anthony Robbins warned:
You should always remember what you want, not what you are afraid of.
I remember that time I deliberately followed a little girl, thinking that she could go and I should go.
Then, the fire started, hundreds of people passed by, and their feet were safe and sound. When I saw it, I vaguely enhanced some confidence.
Then, when I found that the girl in front of me had been shaking her feet, my confidence was shaken again. At this time, the counselor next to him shouted: "Go!" The girl strode past. I thought, she can, and I want it, too. Then I walked confidently over.
The first thought after the smooth fire is: the fire is so simple!
Indeed, many things seem difficult or impossible, but as long as you make up your mind to do it, they all become very simple.
Fire, let me learn to turn fear into action, make the most effective decision in the face of difficulties, and firmly believe in the face of challenges:
If I can't, I must. I will if I have to.
The ninth belief of success: the winner will never give up, and the quitter will never succeed.
Tom Hopkins, one of the four American sales masters, has been burdened with his father's expectation that he will become a lawyer since he was a child. When he wasted his father's life savings and dropped out of law school to go home, his father shed tears of disappointment and said, "Tom, I don't think you will succeed in this life!" "
Tom had to run away from home the next day and then chose to sell the property. In the first six months, Tom didn't get any grades at all, only 100 yuan was left on him, and he spent the only 100 yuan on a seminar to strengthen sales skills. After that, he won the national real estate sales champion for eight consecutive years, drove a Rolls Royce car, traveled around the world and taught countless salesmen how to sell.
What is the reason for his success? He said: "What supports me in spite of setbacks is a belief: winners will never give up, and quitters will never succeed."
You can choose any road, but you can't choose the road of "giving up".
The tenth belief of success: the winner is willing to do what the loser is unwilling to do, so he succeeds.
The eleventh belief of success: I must act immediately and never give up.
There was a successful man, and many people asked him:
"You are so successful, have you ever encountered any difficulties?"
"Of course!" He said.
"How did you handle the difficulties?"
"Act now!" He said.
"What should you do when you are under great economic or other pressure?"
"Act now!" He said.
"What about marriage, emotional frustration or poor communication?"
"Act now!" He still said.
"Do you always deal with difficulties in life like this?"
"Act now!" He has only one answer.
Now, please act immediately and break through your present situation.
