Necessary conditions for success

A scholar went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam and stayed in a shop where he often lived. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams: the first dream was that he planted cabbage on the wall, the second dream was that it was raining, and he wore a hat and an umbrella. The third dream was that he and his beloved cousin were lying naked together, but their backs were to their backs. I had this dream just before the exam, as if it had any profound meaning. The scholar went to the fortune teller to interpret his dreams the next day. Hearing this, the fortune teller patted his thigh continuously and said, "You'd better go home. Think about it, isn't it futile to grow vegetables on high walls? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella? Isn't it impossible to lie naked in a bed with my cousin, but back to back? " Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the store to pack the package and prepare to go home.

The shopkeeper was surprised and asked, "Isn't there an exam tomorrow?" Why did you go home today? "When the scholar said this, the shopkeeper was happy:" Alas, I can also interpret dreams. I think you are sure to pass the exam this time. Think about it, isn't it high to grow vegetables on the wall? Isn't it double insurance to wear a hat and an umbrella? Lying naked in bed with your cousin doesn't mean it's time for you to turn over? "Hearing this, the scholar made more sense, so he happily took the exam and got a flower-exploring.

It can be seen that things themselves do not affect people, but people are only influenced by their own views on things. People must change passive thinking habits and develop positive thinking habits.

How to form the habit of positive thinking? When you are facing specific tasks and tasks in the process of achieving your goals, when you remove the word "impossible" from your mind and replace it with "how can I do it", you can say that you have developed the habit of positive thinking.

(2) Good habit of working efficiently

No matter how strong a person's desire for success is, he will be torn by habits that are not conducive to success and dissolved into mediocre daily life. Therefore, thought determines behavior, behavior forms habit, habit determines character, and character determines fate. If you want to succeed, you must form efficient work habits.

To determine whether your work habits are efficient and conducive to success, I think this standard can be used to test whether you are worried about unfinished work, that is, anxiety. If you don't do what you should do, or you don't finish what you should do, and you often worry about it, it proves that you need to change your work habits and find and develop an efficient work habit.

Efficient work starts from the office;

1) Know your energetic period every day. Usually people are most efficient at work around 9 am, so they can finish the most difficult work at this time.

2) concentrate on dealing with the urgent work at hand for one or two hours every day, without answering the phone, meeting or being disturbed. This can get twice the result with half the effort

3) Respond to important emails immediately and discard unimportant emails. If we let them pile up, it will take more time.

4) Make a task list and record all projects and agreements in the efficiency manual. Be sure to carry an efficiency manual with you to help you stick to your plan. About 5% of a person's behavior in a day is non-habitual, and the remaining 95% is habitual.

5) Learn to read something or conceive a document in your spare time efficiently, and don't stare blankly or daydream.

6) Reduce the time for returning calls. If all you need to send is a message, you might as well send a mobile phone message.

7) Be aware of possible calls, so that you can quickly find all kinds of information you need after receiving the expected call, without having to rummage around at that time.

8) Learn the skills of online search efficiently and save the time of online search. Collect the websites you visit frequently so that you can find them at any time.

9) Use the Internet to simplify business travel arrangements. Most hotels and airlines can check and book online.

10) As long as the situation permits, you can entrust others to share the work. Hands-on work will make you exhausted and never finish. Ask your colleagues for help, or ask your assistant to work harder.

1 1) Make a flexible schedule so that you can take time off when necessary. For example, work overtime at noon, then leave the office one hour in advance to exercise, or work 10 hours a day, and then make an appointment to see a doctor on Friday.

12) Make a list of the next day's work before you leave the office, so that you can go all out the next morning.

Having the habit of planning everything is equal to planning success.

Make a Plan for Everything There is an American named john goddard. When 15 years old, he made a list of things to do in life, called "life list". In this orderly list, he gave himself 127 specific goals to overcome. For example, explore the Nile, climb the Himalayas, read Shakespeare and write a book. 44 years later, with superhuman perseverance and extraordinary courage, he finally achieved the goal of 106 step by step as planned and became an accomplished film producer, screenwriter and speaker.

There is an old saying in China: "There is food and drink, and there is no poverty." Try to do things in a planned way according to your own goals, which can improve work efficiency and achieve your goals quickly.

(3) Develop a good habit of exercising.

Strengthening the habit of health care awareness plan is equal to the success of the plan. If you want to achieve something, you must have a healthy body; If you want to be healthy, you must first have a sense of health care.

I know a university teacher who has always been in good health. Earlier, we often played together. When talking about everyone's physical condition, he said that the kidneys occasionally feel slightly uncomfortable. We advised him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he thought he was in good health and didn't care. It was not until later that he felt more pain that his lover forced him to check. The diagnosis is advanced renal cancer. Despite the treatment measures such as surgery and chemotherapy, he still failed to save his life and died at the age of 39. Previously, he had been depressed because of the unsatisfactory school distribution and job title evaluation. His illness is related to his mood. But if he has a strong sense of health care, it is entirely possible to prevent the disease from sprouting as soon as possible. Poor awareness of health care cost him his life.

How to implement health care awareness? First, you should have the consciousness of life first and health first. With this awareness, you will be kind to your body and your mind, and you will not trample on your body at will. Second, we should pay attention to mastering some relevant knowledge. Third, let yourself have a mechanism to cope with the body: go to the hospital for physical examination regularly; If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible; If possible, you can ask a health care doctor to give advice on your health.

▲ Planned exercise.

The importance of physical exercise has been more and more accepted by people, but I feel that many people just stay in the stage of conscious attention and lack corresponding actions. In my opinion, exercise should not only aim at the corresponding diseases caused by specific working posture, so as to prevent and treat the corresponding diseases, but also take exercise as a pleasure and form the habit of exercise.

Because of the need of work, I often deal with customers and rush around to deal with unexpected things, which has played a role in exercising to a certain extent. At the same time, I insist on swimming once or twice a week to ensure that I have enough energy to do my work and enjoy my life.

Physical exercise, like striving for success, needs persistence.

In addition to the above two points, paying attention to diet structure, reasonable diet and developing good hygiene habits are all components of developing healthy habits.

In a word, health is the capital of "revolution" and the guarantee of success.

Health makes you.

(4) Good habit of continuous learning

The era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" has passed, but the good habit of reading will never go out of date.

Harry Truman is a famous president in American history. He didn't go to college, once ran a farm, and later ran a cloth shop. He experienced many failures. When he finally took up a government post, he was over 50 years old. But he has a good habit of reading frequently. Years of reading have made Truman very knowledgeable. He read the Encyclopedia Britannica and all the novels by Charles Dickens and victor hugo. Besides, he has read all william shakespeare's plays and sonnets.

Truman's extensive reading and rich knowledge enabled him to lead the United States through the end of World War II and make the country quickly enter post-war prosperity. He knows that reading is the foundation of becoming a first-class leader. Reading also enables him to make correct decisions quickly in the face of various controversial and thorny issues. For example, in the 1950s, he resisted pressure and fired the beloved war hero General douglas macarthur.

His creed is: "Not all scholars are leaders, but every leader must be a scholar."

Former US President Bill Clinton said: A small piece of land acquired in the19th century is the capital for starting a business; In the 2 1 century, the most anticipated gift is no longer land, but a scholarship from the federal government. Because they know that mastering knowledge means mastering a key to the future. "

Every successful person has good reading habits. Ceos of Fortune 500 companies should read at least 30 magazines or books every week, more than one per month 100 and more than one per year 1000.

Ceos of Fortune 500 companies should read at least 30 magazines or books every week, more than one per month 100 and more than one per year 1000. If you read 15 minutes every day, you may finish reading a book in a month. You read at least 12 books a year. After 10 years, you read a total of *** 120 books! Think about it, you can easily read 120 books in only 15 minutes every day, which can help you to become richer in all aspects of your life. If you spend twice as much time every day, that is, half an hour, you can read 25 books a year-10 250 books a year!

I think everyone who wants to succeed before the age of 35 should read at least one book and two magazines every month.

(5) Good habit of modesty

There is no reason for a person not to be modest. Compared with human knowledge, any scholar can only fail.

Faraday, a famous scientist, was prepared to be awarded the title by the state in his later years in recognition of his outstanding contributions in physics and chemistry, but he refused. After Faraday retired, he still often went to the laboratory to do some chores. One day, a young man came to the laboratory to do an experiment. He said to Faraday, who was sweeping the floor, "They must have given you a lot of money to do this work, right?" The old man smiled and said, "I need a little more." "What's your name? Old man? " "michael faraday" the old man replied lightly. The young man exclaimed, "Oh, dear! You are the great Mr Faraday! " "No," Faraday corrected, "I am an ordinary Faraday."

Modesty is not only a virtue, but also a kind of wisdom in life, and a strategy to protect yourself by belittling yourself.

(6) Good self-control habits

Any successful person has extraordinary self-control.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang personally led the Shu army to the northern expedition of Cao Wei, and Sima Yi, the general of Wei State, took a truce to close the city and ignored Zhuge Liang. He believes that the Shu army will be short of backup supplies when it comes from afar. As long as we delay time and consume the strength of the Shu army, we will certainly seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy.

Zhuge Liang knew the advantages of Sima Yi's silent tactics, and sent troops to the gate to scold the array several times in an attempt to provoke Wei Bing and lure Sima Yi out of the city for a decisive battle, but Sima Yi remained on hold. Zhuge Liang sent a woman's dress to Sima Yi and wrote a letter saying, "Zhong Da is no different from a woman. He dare not go to war. If you are a shameful person, come out and fight the Shu army. If not, put on this woman's clothes. "

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Although this letter full of insults and contempt angered Sima Yi, it did not make the wily Sima Yi change his mind. He suppressed his anger, stabilized his morale and waited patiently.

After several months of stalemate, Zhuge Liang died in the army. The Shu army, leaderless, quietly withdrew. Sima Yi won without fighting.

People who can't control their emotions often hurt others and themselves. If Sima Yi can't resist his anger and goes out to fight, then maybe history will be rewritten.

In modern society, people are facing more and more temptations. If people lack self-control, they will be tempted to lead by the nose and deviate from the track of success.

(7) A good habit of humor

Some people say that men need humor, just as women need beautiful faces.

Men need humor, just as women need beautiful faces. 16 American President Lincoln was ugly, but he never avoided it. On the contrary, he often jokes about his appearance humorously. When running for president, his opponent attacked him with duplicity and intrigue. Lincoln pointed to his face and said, "Let the public judge. If I had another face, would I use this face now? " Another time, a congressman who opposed Lincoln came up to Lincoln and asked sarcastically, "I heard that the president is a successful self-designer?" "Yes, sir." Lincoln nodded and said, "But I don't understand, how can a successful designer design himself like this?" Lincoln is such a humorous method, which has successfully solved the possible embarrassment and embarrassing scenes many times.

Men without humor are not necessarily bad, men who know humor must be excellent people, and women who know humor are rare animals.

(8) A good habit of smiling

Smiling is a sign of generosity and calmness, and it is also a passport to communication.

Hilton, the founder of the world-famous Hilton Hotel, finally found a simple and cost-free management secret-Xiaoxiao after years of exploration at the beginning of his business. From then on, he asked all employees: No matter what difficulties the hotel itself encounters, the smile on the waiter's face of Hilton Hotel will always be the sunshine of customers. This "sunshine" finally won the unanimous praise of Hilton hotels all over the world.

In developed countries in Europe and America, people always nod and smile when they meet, which makes people feel warm to each other. In China, if you smile at a lady in the street, you may be called "sick". Learn from westerners. Let's smile at each other.

Throughout the ages, dedication is one of the most important qualities of all successful people.

(9) A good habit of giving.

Dedication is the basic requirement for people who are eager for success to treat their work. It is difficult for a person who is not dedicated to his work to achieve anything in his work.

American Standard Oil Company has a small employee named Akibot, who didn't attract people's special attention at first. He is very enterprising and pays attention to maintaining and enhancing the reputation of the enterprise everywhere. Never forget to write "four dollars a barrel of standard oil" at the bottom of your signature when staying in a hotel. Writing letters to relatives and friends is no exception, even if it is a receipt. Don't forget to write those words after signing. Therefore, colleagues call him "four dollars a barrel". Rockefeller, the chairman of the company, knows about it. He invited Akibot to dinner and called on the employees to learn from him. Later, Akibot became the second chairman of Standard Oil Company.
