There is a fable called "Monkey Breaking Corn", which is about monkeys harvesting in a corn field. As soon as he broke off one, he thought the front one was better, so he dropped the one in his hand to break off the other one. When he got another one, he thought it was better, and then he threw away the one in his hand to say "better". Unconsciously, he came to the end of the cornfield. It was getting late, so he had to break off one in a hurry. When he went back. We'll just have to make do.
We will all laugh at that monkey for being stupid, but what will happen to you?
There are objective reasons why monkeys are stupid. First of all, corn is wrapped in layers of shells, so it is not so easy to judge what is inside. Secondly, there are too many buns in front of us, which leads to temptation and interference. When there is only one corn, you will peel it off and observe it carefully; Two treasure valleys, you will compare them together; I can't tell who is who with my eyes full of corn. Tall, short, fat and thin, they all sway. If you break this, you have to give up that. Who do you want?
People often feel that what they get is not the best. Anyone who has a chance to pass by wants to seize it and create a miracle.
In fact, real opportunities are rare, and people may only have one or two times in their lives.
We are all familiar with an organizational principle-the minority is subordinate to the majority. But in fact, many "majorities" in life are of little significance, while "minorities" determine the nature of things. A general's idea may affect the victory or defeat of a war. In this sense, many people's blood is in vain. As long as you buy two of the ten stocks correctly, these two stocks may make more money than the other eight. A company that accounts for 20% of the total number of employees has created more than 80% of profits. Similarly, as long as 20% employees mess with you, your company is basically out of order.
When the poor start a business, it is often not that they have not met the opportunity to make money, but that they have also had projects with great potential. It was a happy day. Everything went well and the future was bright. However, as the peak passed and the days faded, many people began to be restless and bent on creating new glories. So I spent a lot of energy on development, but ignored the original money-making things. After a long time, it will naturally be abandoned.
I had a difficult start, but I couldn't stick to it. I have been pursuing all my life, and I have been choosing all my life. When I find myself at the end of my life, I will only handle one thing casually like the monkey who broke the valley.
The preciousness of a good project will only be discovered after a long time and looking back. Not all your efforts can be rewarded accordingly. Just like you buy ten stocks, maybe 80% of your profits come from two of them. If you don't hold on to them and make a profit, the losses of the other eight stocks may eat up all the profits.
Life is so unfair. Those two profitable stocks may not consume too much time, but the other eight losses make you exhausted. Therefore, doing one thing thoroughly is a shortcut to a successful life. Don't think that opportunities are everywhere. Many activities in a person's life are actually just paving the way, and only a few times really play a decisive role. When you seize the opportunity in your hand, don't let it go, no matter how difficult it is. Maybe finishing this thing will lay the foundation for a lifetime.
What matters is not what to do, but what not to do. What you don't do is wait for what you want to do. Once you decide to do it, you must do it thoroughly.
Success belongs to the persevering.
There is a story about a king who wanted to reward a minister and let him make a plan himself. The minister said: "My requirements are not high, as long as the first box is filled with 1 grain of rice, the second box is filled with 2 grains, the third box is filled with 4 grains, and the fourth box is filled with 8 grains, and so on until 64 boxes are filled." Hearing this, the king secretly smiled. The requirements are too low. Do it!
The work of loading rice is progressing rapidly, and soon the chessboard will not fit. Not with sacks, but with cars, small ones.
The car stalled and the granary was soon used up. Jimmy is exhausted, but the power grid is like a bottomless pit, and he is more and more dissatisfied. The king finally found out that he was cheated. Even if the cardinal number of something is very small, once it is multiplied by geometric series, the final result will be outrageous.
The poor are like the first square on the chessboard. 1 grain rice and 2 grain rice have little difference. The starting point of the poor is too small and too low. Even if you develop rapidly, you are still a little snowball. Maybe before you roll it up, the weather will get warmer and the snow will melt again.
It is difficult for the poor to develop, start and persist. There are only a few meters in front of you, and you have lost your appetite. However, the success of one thing often lies in the last step. When the cardinal number accumulates to a certain extent, you only need to jump one grid and you will become a Buddha. Everything before this was a foreshadowing.
Paving the road is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Without 1 grain of rice, there would be no bucket load behind. This process is long and difficult. Whether you can wait until the last day depends on your kung fu. Zhang, a lecturer in investment and financial management, believes that the older generation said that nothing is difficult in the world, and that's it.
Dare to do great things
The poor always intuitively think that roadside chicken hair shops are cheap and hotels are bound to be expensive, but they are not. Even if the unit price of a small restaurant is really cheap, if you leave your stomach open, the final bill will not be small. Besides, small restaurants are not necessarily cheap. Have you seen the Water Margin? Do you know Sun Erniang? How does her shop feel? Don't think that small shopkeepers are kind, and big hotels pay more attention to rules and credibility. Small restaurants are struggling to survive, and they may have practiced a knife skill, so killing customers is absolutely firm and ruthless.
What's more, you have to calculate an account. If you eat your stomach in a chicken hair shop on the side of the road, you will lose more than you gain.
Therefore, the poor might as well summon up courage to walk into the grand hotel and give it a try. Ask a price first. If not, it is nothing more than resigning, without losing anything, at least gaining knowledge. Why imagine out of thin air, indulge in mediocrity and die of better opportunities?
Doing big business is often the same as doing small business. Don't choose a small business just because it is easy to do. Many times, two people spend the same time. Whether to do something, the standard of choice should not be size, but whether it suits you.
Many CCTV hosts jump out from local stations. When they were on the local TV station, the local audience didn't think he was outstanding or great. However, when I arrived at CCTV, I gradually made a distinction. If I go back to the place where I used to host with my colleagues, it will be really different and impressive.
Everyone has rich potential. The greater the challenge you face, the more fully you tap the potential, and the more likely you are to achieve extraordinary achievements. A person's thinking and temperament are often polished by the work he is engaged in, not deliberately, but the people and things he contacts every day, the problems he must think and deal with every day, and cultivate a personal style.
The environment will brand everyone. A person's evaluation of himself is often not based on his own understanding of himself, but changes with others' attitudes towards himself. When others think that you are a heavyweight and his attitude is humble, you will unconsciously have great momentum, but when people around you think that you are insignificant, you either shrink back or get angry, and it is difficult for you to feel generous and elegant.
Life is like a play. Since everyone is singing, we should make the same effort. It is better to choose a big stage, choose a good role and perform well. The prince would rather have seeds! ?
