Text/The beginning and the end
Picture/"Spirited Away"
I recently completed an online financial management course and gained a lot.
It’s not that I quickly learned how to achieve financial freedom, but I realized a simple truth more deeply:
Many people can’t accomplish things that they can accomplish as long as they persevere. Will give up halfway.
The course I signed up for is taught and learned in the form of a WeChat community, with about 200 people in the group. There is a class teacher who is responsible for giving lectures, and senior students who are responsible for daily notification and supervision.
The daily task is to review and check in after listening to the class.
It sounds easy, and each course assignment only takes an hour to complete.
But in just ten days, only a handful of people persisted.
Because it is an online course, people tend to be lazy. Many people have never even bubbled, and they no longer pay attention to group messages after joining the group.
At the end of the course, the class teacher said something that touched me a lot: "There are 200 people in a class, less than 50 people study hard and complete the check-in, and only more than 20 people stick to it in the end. People.
After this course, the number of people who actively want to learn about financial management will be reduced by half. Many people did not even look at the group messages after signing up. ”
Are you that busy?
I don’t know.
But I realized that the reason why many people complain about their lack of success is that they cannot persist in even the simplest things.
If you can’t persist, you will undoubtedly fail on these points.
A friend recently fell in love with a boy, but the boy doesn't seem to be interested in her.
Although she found opportunities to meet boys by chance many times and chatted with boys every day. But every chat was like a one-man show for her. She asked what the other person answered.
That sounds a little sad.
After a period of time, she complained to me about how bad boys are, how she wanted to give up on this boy, and felt that it was too difficult to chase boys.
I think she was too hasty and wanted to capture someone's heart after only knowing her for more than a week. How could love be so simple?
It seems like people are always afraid of persistence, even in love.
Just like my friend, I have only known him for less than two weeks, and I want to go further without getting to know him well.
The results of doing this are nothing more than two: "If you don't succeed, you will become friends."
Although being eager for success in doing things has a strong purpose, it will disturb our own mind and make us More prone to anxiety. Thus giving up what you are doing.
And the things you give up may be successful as long as you persist a little longer.
Many truths tell us to take everything one step at a time and let nature take its course.
Successful people emphasize the importance of self-discipline.
It can be seen that self-discipline is an inevitable factor for success.
Many people are unable to achieve true self-discipline and are always tempted by the external environment.
Self-discipline: When there is no one to supervise on site, you can change from passive to active by demanding yourself.
In ancient times, people studied hard for ten years in a cold window, with their heads hanging from beams and their buttocks spiked. Read only the books of saints and sages.
Modern technology is becoming more and more developed, bringing us more and more conveniences. But temptation also comes.
Girls have no resistance to the constantly updated TV series, variety shows, and novels;
Boys are endlessly interested in exciting and dazzling games.
The mantra becomes "It's still too late to do it tomorrow."
So what you want to do is pushed back again and again, and you wonder why you can't persist, but you don't know I have abandoned even the most basic self-discipline.
We can look at examples of female celebrities losing weight:
Yinger only eats one pill of Lao Ganma a day in order to lose weight;
Big S’s figure is out of shape after childbirth , in order to get back in shape. Halve the diet prescribed by the nutritionist and skip dinner.
When Shu Qi participated in "Chinese Restaurant", the food she ate every day was salt-free and she would not eat after five o'clock. She said, “You will not lose weight if you eat less, but you will lose weight if you don’t eat.
”
The self-control ability of female stars is very unparalleled. We only need to be one-third of them.
I don’t know how much we can do in our lives. What?
The driving force for doing something is also the key factor that determines its success or failure.
Motivation is the starting point and the reason that encourages you to persist.
I am preparing for the CET-4 exam recently, and I insist on memorizing words every day. Sometimes I am very tired and don’t want to memorize it anymore.
But when I think about the CET-4 exam, I get excited again. < /p>
The motivation to memorize vocabulary is to pass Level 4 in one go.
However, motivation is easy to appear and easy to be forgotten.
Just like many people think. I want to learn piano, guitar, and calligraphy.
I bought things, signed up for lessons, and prepared to show my talents.
However, it won’t take long for me to get bored. The motivation has long since disappeared, and there is no reason to persist, so I think of giving up.
The reason why motivation disappears over time is because it is not strong enough.
Wang Li Jiaqi has been on the hot searches recently, and everyone must have heard about his professionalism.
But we may not know that at the end of 2016, "Beauty ONE" and L'Oreal launched the "BA Internet Celebrity". Of the projects, only Li Jiaqi remained.
According to the boss of Mei ONE, it was not Li Jiaqi who performed best, but he was the only one who believed in being an anchor. Others chose to continue offline because it was a sure income, and The future of live streaming is uncertain.
The boss of Mei ONE believes: This is a manifestation of Li Jiaqi’s extreme desire to succeed.
People are everywhere who are eager to succeed, but there are very few people who are extremely eager to succeed.
Without the extremely strong motivation at the beginning, Li Jiaqi would not have persisted when the future of live broadcast was uncertain, let alone achieve today's achievements.
The process of persisting in doing something is a process of experiencing bone-chilling pain.
People who are eager for success can calm down and slowly polish their temper.
Take a walk every day, watch the sunset, and do something slow. Stop yourself from pursuing results so urgently.
People who are not self-disciplined enough should learn more about how successful people maintain self-discipline and give themselves psychological hints.
Start with small things in action, get up early on time every day, exercise for an hour, and stop using your mobile phone half an hour before going to bed. These are all small habits that can help you develop self-discipline.
If your motivation is not strong enough, then strengthen your motivation.
Write down the reasons why you want to do this thing on paper and stick it in an obvious place, or set the background of your phone to what you want to do to encourage yourself.
You can also take a few minutes every day to think about your motivation for doing this thing, which can not only strengthen your motivation, but also avoid forgetting it.
When doing something, don’t worry about whether it is worth doing or whether it is meaningful.
Now I keep running every day. At first it was just because the school physical education class required it.
After persisting for more than ten days, I felt exhausted after running two laps in the first time and now feel uncomfortable all over if I don’t run.
It feels amazing.
The process of perseverance is like a long-distance run. It is very tiring and difficult at the beginning, and some people even get frustrated.
But after getting through that stage, it became much easier.
It is very beneficial to the body in the long run.
Many things are meaningless, but your persistence and hard work give them meaning.
