Life is like archery: steady, firm and accurate.

Rereading Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, there is a picture depicting Guo Jing killing two birds with one stone:

"Guo Jing took the bow and arrow, kneeling on his right knee, holding the iron bow firmly in his left hand without any tremor, and pulling up the 200-kilogram hard bow in his right hand ... Seeing two black sculptures flying over his left head, his left arm moved slightly, aiming at the neck of the black sculpture, and his right hand loosened five fingers, and the black sculpture was waiting to dodge. The arrow shaft has passed through the neck, and then the arrow shaft shoots into the belly of the second black sculpture.

You can easily shoot your prey with your bow and arrow at any time. Guo Daxia's amazing archery is amazing.

In fact, anyone who has read the novel knows that Guo Jing is stupid and has no talent. The reason why he has such extraordinary archery has experienced unimaginable hardships.

I remember reading a sentence: "life is like an arrow that leaves the string." The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. "

Only when we put all our enthusiasm and efforts into it, try our best to pull the bow and let the arrow fly forward towards our dreams and goals can we hit the bull's-eye we want.

In order to realize your dreams and goals as soon as possible and get a better life, you need to do these three key steps in a down-to-earth manner:

0 1

Steady: Keep a clear head and raise your bow.

There is a saying in The Way of Archery: "Before archery, you must be sharp, upright, focused and calm, and have peace of mind."

The first step in archery is to raise the bow safely. In addition to correct posture, "mentality" is a crucial factor.

The same is true of being a man and doing things. Only when you are in the right attitude and concentrate on your work can you gain something in Mo Wen. If you only think about the result, you can't concentrate on the matter itself, and you will only lose more miserably in the end.

There is a famous "Valenda effect" in psychology. Performer Valenda, in a high-altitude tightrope performance, was anxious for success, suffering from loss, and finally fell and died.

This incident tells us that a person can only succeed if he has a correct attitude and pays attention to the process rather than the result.

Zhang won the gold medal in women's individual archery at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, becoming the first archery champion in China.

Archery is a very mental exercise. It may be good in training at ordinary times, but once it is distracted during the game, it is easy to have problems.

Zhang's motto in life is: "Mind decides fate."

Zhang won the championship on the field not only because of his superb skills, but also because of his super-hard psychological quality.

Shakespeare said: "Don't rush for success, be familiar with your research object, persevere, and time will accomplish everything."

People who are eager for success are impetuous because they walk too fast and easily stumble. It is often difficult for such people to achieve anything.

When a person learns to study hard, calm down and work hard, and turn his obsession with "success" into a down-to-earth effort, time will give him more rewards in the future.

02

Accurate: aim at the target.

French writer romain rolland once said: "Life is a bow, and the bowstring is a dream. As soon as you get on the bow, your dream will be fixed in the distance indicated by the arrow. "

Life experience is like a bow, and daily efforts are like sharp arrows. Without an arrow target and a clear goal, archery will certainly be difficult to improve.

And dreams, which set the goal of our life struggle. Under the guidance and encouragement of dreams, we will move forward with more purpose, and we will be more confident to deal with the hardships encountered in the process.

In the movie "Arrive Home at One o'clock", a boy named Peng Xiubing always dreamed of going back to his hometown in Yunnan and opening his own courier company.

Occasionally, he saved Wei Jinbei who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building because of repeated entrepreneurial failures. Two guys with entrepreneurial dreams encouraged each other and agreed to return to Yunnan to start their entrepreneurial journey.

After returning, the two found that local farmers did not understand online shopping, so in Guzhai, Yunnan, the express delivery industry did not have much development prospects. But Peng did not give up. He always believed that he could realize his dream.

They hit it off with Li Shaoqun, a young man in the ancient village who refused to follow in his father's footsteps and insisted on growing coffee.

So three young people with different dreams gave full play to their strengths, combined express delivery, coffee and tea, and founded their own brand "Pu 'er Coffee", which sold well at home and abroad.

The realization of their dreams reminds me of a line in the movie "Galaxy Tutorial Club":

"Life is like archery, and dreams are like arrows. If you can't even find the target, what's the point of pulling the bow every day? "

Archery should aim at the bull's-eye, and only by pulling the bow can it be shot; Life should also have a goal, and perseverance can achieve it.

When a person has a dream in his heart, he has a firm goal. Only by going forward bravely can he get closer to his dream and become a better self.

03

Malicious: Do your best and shoot an arrow without regret.

As the saying goes, "there is no turning back when you open your bow."

The documentary Life of Cards tells the story of Richard Turner, one of the greatest card magicians in the world.

Can you imagine that an old man with this title is almost seventy years old?

Can you imagine that this magician is blind?

Richard Turner began to lose his sight because of a serious illness at the age of 9, and then he was expelled from high school for resisting Braille learning. However, this did not stop him from becoming one of the best players in the world.

From the age of 19, Richard Turner will practice 14 hours of poker every day, analyzing and thinking about every movement until it becomes a habit of the subconscious.

This stubborn old man has been practicing cards for more than forty years. Because of this, Richard Turner has reached the realm of integration with playing cards.

As long as kung fu is ground into needles, these ancient teachings have been fully proved by Richard Turner.

There is a saying in "Letters from Fu Lei": "Try to put success or failure aside, do your best, and have a clear conscience."

There is no royal road to life, but since you are determined to do something, you must do it as well as possible. Maybe the final result will not be satisfactory, but you can also have no regrets and be innocent.

Life is like archery: never give up, you will hit it eventually.

Confucius said, "The shooter is like a gentleman, not a son of heaven. Instead, we look for them. "

A gentleman's life is like archery. He can't shoot an arrow. He can't blame his poor archery.

When we miss our goals again and again, we should find ourselves, reflect on ourselves, and then constantly improve ourselves. When we persevere and never give up, one day, we will achieve our goal.

May you and I both have a correct attitude, aim at the goal, try our best to hit the bull's-eye of our own goal and become the real winners in life!
