A philosophical inspirational story: Don't believe in "replicable success"
I don't know if this is a blessing, because I grew up watching inspirational stories.
One of the stories goes like this:
Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher, dyed water black in the book Snow in Linchi in Lanting, Shaoxing, and became a master of ancient and modern times. Once, his son Wang Xianzhi asked him the secret of writing. He pointed to the 18 water tanks at home and said, "The secret of learning Chinese characters lies in these 18 water tanks. You will know when you have written all the water in these eighteen tanks. " I wonder if it never rains in Shaoxing. Anyway, according to this story, Wang Xianzhi really finished writing eighteen jars of water, so he became a great calligrapher.
At that time, I just went to primary school and studied calligraphy in Nanjing Zhenghe Park Children's Palace. There are no vats, but there happens to be a big pond in the park. So, I go to the park every time after class and lie on the edge of the pond to wash my children. A few days later, I used up a bottle of ink, hoping to dye the pond black. Until one day, he was stopped by a park ranger. He grabbed my collar from behind: "Little friend, don't die! Wash at the faucet in the future! " When I think that I can no longer wash my brush in the pool, I feel extremely sad, and my long-term efforts will give up. Needless to say, my calligraphy is naturally not practiced.
Later, when I was a little older, I often had physical conflicts with the children in the yard when I reached the age of "hating dogs". I suffer from being an only child, and I am often beaten by other children. Ask my eldest brother to help me fight. I vowed to practice a magical skill. Shaolin Temple doesn't need travelling expenses to learn arts, but also needs to practice iron sand palms. I didn't find a suitable large iron pot to hold sand at home.
However, there is a picture book that gives me great inspiration. The hero of the book, the boy, was an orphan since he was a child, and he swallowed his anger and let go of his landlord who abused him. Every day a calf is carried up the mountain to eat grass. When cows eat grass, they exercise their feet with small trees on the top of the mountain. When cows eat grass, they carry them down the mountain. Later, the cow grew to 800 Jin, and its strength also grew to 800 Jin; Small trees gradually grow into big trees, with strong feet and skills.
What bothered me at that time was that the only domestic mammal in the family hospital of the university was a cat. I hold it every day, and it is estimated that it will not grow to 800 pounds. But I found a few small trees, so I chose a small tree with a thick teacup and kicked a few feet every day. It's a pity that in less than a year, I found that this small tree is sparse and yellow compared with other trees. In the end, this magical plan had to be abandoned halfway.
There is also a German uncle who used to be my idol. When I was a child, I heard at least ten different people tell me that he was able to write such immortal works as Das Kapital, mainly because he sat in a fixed seat in the British Library for years, so that two obvious footprints were ground on the concrete floor.
Later, I went to Xi 'an to attend college. In those years when I was full of lofty sentiments and believed in heroes and teenagers since ancient times, I followed the example of my sages and went to the reading room of the library to study by the window almost every day.
I have been in this school for eight years. At my age, Marx has been the editor-in-chief of the New Rheinische Zeitung. Poor me, I am nothing. Several papers have been sent, but no decent papers have been written yet. Fortunately, in the end, I came to two helpless conclusions in hindsight: first, I can tell the architectural engineering community that the concrete floor quality of Xi Jiaotong University Library is really good; Second, I dare to announce my major research findings to historians-Comrade Marx must have the habit of stamping his feet when reading.
These experiences make me wary: first, there must be a secret to success; Second, these secrets are often personal privacy and don't show people; Beware of those who make money by selling life experience. Most people tell you that life experiences are like magic tricks performed by magicians. They always like to use the most inconspicuous tricks to attract your attention. His real actions are hidden where you can't see them.
Medium and long philosophical inspirational story: success lies in the last step.
When water is burned to 99℃, it will not boil. Finally, it can break through the critical line of physical form and change from liquid to gas as long as it is heated to 1℃.
After 99 steps, people say that the last step is the hardest and the hardest. In fact, this last step is no different from every step in step 99, except that people who take this step scare themselves, give up easily and can't persist. No matter what you do, as long as you dare to persist and never give up, the impossible will become possible.
10 years ago, I saw a very touching true story in Global Magazine. The hero of the story is a beautiful young woman. One day, she followed her husband to the top of the mountain to take pictures. Suddenly, the husband stepped on the air, then slipped into the abyss, surrounded by steep cliffs, and there was no hand to catch. At this critical moment, the wife hugged the trunk of the cliff with both hands and bit her husband's coat with her mouth. At this time, the husband was hanging in the air, and the wife couldn't put it down, so she had to bear a tall body and two rows of white teeth. The wife kept saying to herself, "grit your teeth, persist, persist!" " "Her beautiful teeth and lips were dyed red with blood. Half an hour later, they were found by tourists and rescued. This wife is weak, why did she have such great endurance and endurance at a critical moment? A physiologist thinks: "When the body functions respond to an emergency, the adrenal gland can secrete a lot of hormones, which can spread throughout the body and generate extra strength. "If analyzed psychologically, this physiological phenomenon is caused by the strength of human mind and spirit. A wife can grit her teeth and insist again and again because she has only one thought in her heart: never let go, or her husband will fall into the abyss. People are dominated by spirit and spiritual power, and even dare not bite the bullet when they die!
When asked what is the secret of success, Churchill answered very well in his speech at Cambridge University: "There are three secrets of my success: first, never give up; Second, never, never give up; The third is never, never, never give up. "
Never giving up is persistence, and persistence comes from human perseverance. Perseverance is the most precious wealth of mankind, and nothing can replace perseverance on the road to success. Enthusiasm is not good, and it is not uncommon for people who have a moment of enthusiasm to retreat at the last step; Wisdom can't replace perseverance, because there are too many smart people who fail in the world.
Perseverance is easy to succeed, and perseverance is easy to give up. Think about what we have done and you will find that no matter what we do, we have to go through a process. The more important it is, the longer it takes. From the beginning of things to the end of things, and then one begins and one ends.
In this process, there will be expectation and joy at first, then there will be many difficulties and setbacks, and then more often, you may try again and again, but you can't see the dawn of success.
This is the time for the "goddess of victory" to test you, depending on your perseverance. After being rejected 1000 times, Sylvester Stallone dared to knock on the door 100 1 time. It is because of perseverance that he succeeded. Before he became famous, he only had $65,438+000 and a play "Rocky" adapted from his miserable childhood. So he went door to door to visit all the film studios in Hollywood, looking for opportunities to perform.
At that time, Hollywood had 500 studios. After Stallone visited them one by one, no one wanted to hire him. Faced with 500 cold rejections, Stallone did not lose heart. Looking back, he began to recommend himself door to door from the first one. The second time I visited 500 companies in Hollywood, no one was willing to hire him.
Stallone didn't give up hope. He firmly believes that "there is no such thing as failure, only temporary failure". He regards 1000 rejection as an excellent experience. Then he encouraged himself to start with 100 1 time. Later, after many door-to-door job applications, he experienced 1855 harsh rejections. His persistence finally touched the "goddess of victory"-"I can't bear to see your hard work, and I will give you as much joy as you have exhausted your sweat!" Finally, a film production company agreed to adopt his script and hired him as the leading actor in his own script.
Stallone's hope "came true", and the movie Loki became a hit. He became a superstar and a new generation of American hero idols.
The philosopher said, "90% of the losers have not been defeated, but have given up the hope of success." We often find that many people in life can maintain strong fighting spirit from the beginning. At this stage, there is not much difference between ordinary people and excellent people. However, at the last moment, tenacious and lazy people will show it.
The former can't put out the fire of hope, but can bite the bullet until victory; At this time, the latter was blinded by fog on the way forward. They didn't understand or forgot to be patient, and then they took a step forward and suddenly became enlightened. As a result, the slackers gave up hope, stopped and lost the success they deserved before winning.
As we all know, water will not boil when it is heated to 99℃. Finally, as long as you add 1℃, you can break through the critical line of physical form, change from liquid to gas, and boiled water will become boiled water. Success is the same as boiling water.
The novelette philosophical inspirational short story "Talk about Success"
Failure is usually regarded as misfortune.
Imagine that the winner in one step suddenly fails, and he will feel that he has wasted his time and invested his energy, but he thinks that he has gained nothing; In the face of failure, cowards are painfully confused and hesitate to retreat; And the strong pursue it persistently.
Success is a long-term accumulation process. Being famous overnight and getting rich instantly may exist in reality, but the probability is very small. If you want to truly touch success, you must seize the opportunity at any time, starting from small things and starting from bit by bit. Fate is the accumulation of daily life, and small things decide big things.
If a person doesn't want to do small things, it's hard to do big things. Laozi warned people that "everything is difficult, everything is easy, everything is important, and everything must be done carefully". If you want to succeed and be better than others, you must work hard on small things. Success depends on a little accumulation.
Franklin. Feld said that "the watershed between success and failure can be described in five words: I don't have time". However, no matter how busy people are, they can spare time, even five minutes or even one minute, and use their spare time to accumulate learning knowledge.
In reality, many people dare not think big things and are too lazy to do small things. It's not that they can't afford the time, but that they have too much time, and there is no place to put it and trample on it. They also think that snails are slow, and then they say that they are bored or lonely, and then they spend a lot of time being abandoned by innocents. Facing your own life direction, you should either go with the flow or repeat the mistakes of others. On the road of life, they hesitate, hesitate, look forward to the pie, and are afraid of falling into the trap; Fortunately, when I met success, my pride was out of control, and then failure followed. Faced with failure, I don't even have the courage to meet it. Alas.
Many great men in history were not born knowing everything. Long-term persistence and accumulation and years of hard work have made them successful.
As we all know, Edison had thousands of inventions in his life. He failed thousands of times for an experiment, and he was not discouraged. He said, "Once I fail, I am one step closer to success." This insistence is convincing.
I used to hear people say that if you work in one place for a long time, you are an expert. If you work hard, you will win.
Success means repeating simple things, ordinary things and easy things.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Starting from small things, perseverance is the foundation of success.
I just saw a story half an hour ago: Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, once gave his students a test question: "Today, we learn the simplest and easiest thing, that is, throw your arm forward as far as possible, and then throw it backwards as far as possible. From now on, shake your arm 300 times a day. " Students say that such a simple thing can be done.
After a month, Socrates asked, "Who can swing his arm 300 times a day?" 90% of the students raised their hands.
Two months later, when he asked this question again, only 80% of the students were there. A year later, when Socrates stood on the podium and asked this question again, only one classmate raised his hand. He is Plato, another great philosopher in ancient Greece.
Plato did it. He left a famous saying to future generations: patience is the foundation of all wisdom. A great man is great because he persists when others give up.
There are many such examples in China. The secret of success of Li Yang, the founder of Crazy English, is only two words "repetition".
"Flying Man" Jordan once admitted that he practiced more than 3,000 shooting moves every day, and only in an emergency did he exceed the standard.
When encountering setbacks, we should have the belief of going forward, act immediately, stick to the end and never give up. Winners never give up, and quitters never succeed.
Take time out to study, start from childhood, not afraid of monotony and repetition, and persist in long-term accumulation. It is also difficult to succeed.
Some people may think that "pie" is not nonsense, but in fact it does exist. However, the so-called "pie" was not successful. Although you can get what you want for a while, you will soon lose it. When you have nothing, you want to make a comeback. It takes courage and perseverance to go on step by step.
On the way to success, there will definitely be failures; For failure, we should treat it correctly, and we will succeed if we are not afraid of failure; If you are afraid of failure, you are useless and will fail more.
