How important is mentality to a person?

Once upon a time, there was a mother. She has two sons. The eldest son sells salt and the second son sells umbrellas. When it rains, her mother is worried that the salt will get wet and can't be sold. On a sunny day, her mother is worried that it won't rain and she can't sell an umbrella. So whether it is sunny or rainy, she is always sad and unhappy. One day, she met a fortune teller and complained to him. The husband asked her: Why not look at it from another angle? If it rains, the second son can sell more umbrellas; If it clears up, the eldest son will sell his salt. If you think so, can't you have fun all day? Another painter wants to draw a picture that everyone likes after seeing it. After painting, he took it to the market, put a pen beside it and attached a note: Please mark the bad pen in the painting. In the evening, the painter took back the painting and found that the whole canvas was full of traces, and there was no place that was not blamed. The painter was very unhappy and decided to change the way. He copied the same painting and put it on the market. This time, he asked every audience to mark their favorite wonderful pen. When the painter retrieved the painting, he found that it had been re-marked-the accused strokes were marked with praise. The painter finally realized that what is ugly to some people is beautiful to others. The reason why the same objective things have different voices is entirely determined by a person's mentality. It can be seen how important mentality is in life. In fact, we not only live in the real society, but also live in our own mentality. Buddha said: "Everything changes with the heart, the environment is created by the heart, and the troubles are born by the heart. The philosopher said, "Your mentality is your real master. Goethe said, "Man's happiness lies in his inner happiness." . "So Napoleon Hill, the originator of success, said: Your success depends on your mentality! ! This is why, then, what is mentality? Mentality is the sum of all psychological activities and states of people, and it is the reflection and experience of people on the surrounding environment and social life. It has a decisive influence on a person's thoughts, emotions, needs and desires, and it determines a person's attitude towards work, life and life. Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, said: sow a state of mind, reap an idea, sow an idea and reap an action; Sow an action, harvest a habit, sow a habit, and harvest a character; Sow a character and reap a destiny. It can be seen that mentality determines fate. So everything a person does can be summarized as four steps, that is, mind-thinking-action-result (mentality-thinking-behavior-result). The mentality is stable, but it can be adjusted, controlled and cultivated. The key is what attitude you choose. There is such a family, the child's mother died, and the father drank all day and went back to beat his two sons. Later, my father died, too. What about my two sons? The young are in prison, and the old are bankers. When the reporter interviewed them, he asked, "What caused your present situation?" The answer is actually the same: "I was born in such a family. What can I do if I don't? " The reporter wondered why the answer was the same in different situations. Later, he finally figured it out, and the mentality determines everything! You can do things badly, but as long as you have a good attitude, you can "have a clear conscience", but you can't have a bad attitude. You can't do anything well if you have a bad attitude. Since mentality is so important, what kind of mentality should we have? 1. Learning psychology is input, learning is processing, and learning is sales. Input is required before output. The premise of starting a business is to learn first, and the process of accumulating wealth is learning. Learning is the only way to store knowledge. Facing the new environment and new things, I don't understand, I don't study, I pretend to understand, I'm not modest, I can only joke and make everyone laugh. Success is a learning process. Especially in the era of knowledge economy, the cycle of knowledge updating is getting shorter and shorter, and outdated knowledge is equal to waste. Only by continuous learning can we continuously absorb energy, adapt to the development of society and survive. 2 1 century is a century of "learning, changing and starting a business". 2 1 century, if you want to conquer others, you must use knowledge. Confucius said, "People will lose something when they walk; Two people will get something; There must be a teacher in a threesome. "Learning can absorb new knowledge, and only professionals can make money in any industry. To become an expert, you must study. Whoever is better than himself will be better than himself. Better to rely on yourself than to go to others for help. 2. What is the zeroing mentality? Zero is a new beginning. To enter a new industry, you must have a zero mentality. There is a man from Hunan who came to Hong Kong all the way to survive. He can't understand or speak Cantonese. He finally found a job as a handyman with a low salary. Every day, he sweeps the floor and cleans the toilet repeatedly. When other handyman has a rest on Saturday and Sunday and goes shopping, he is also eager to go out and relax. But considering that some people in the company often work overtime and no one cleans, he stays to clean alone. The boss of the company discovered his behavior and learned that he was so meticulous that he moved for half a year. The next day, he was transferred to the office, and a few years later he became the general manager. Later, he started his own company and became a billionaire today. He donated 500 million yuan to set up Yu Pengnian, "Peng Nianguang Ming Action". His mentality was zero, so he succeeded Many people are relatively easy to succeed the first time, but not the second time, because they can't get back to zero. The president of Changan Group said in an interview with CCTV's Oriental Son column that the failure of an enterprise is often due to its success. The objective law of the development of anything is wave-like progress, spiral rise and periodic change. There's a saying in TV series: Life is all over again. If you want to drink a cup of coffee, you must pour out the tea in the cup first. Otherwise, it will not be tea or coffee after adding coffee. Turned into a four-elephant. Before that, you may have a high position, a lot of wealth and profound knowledge, but when you come to a new industry, you must have a zero mentality, because this is a brand-new field. Only when the mentality returns to zero can we grow rapidly and learn the skills and methods of this industry. Like the sea, put yourself at the lowest point to absorb all the rivers. 3. positive attitude bill gates said that it is necessary to admit the reality that people are born unequal. In fact, where there is sun, there is moon, where there is winter, there is summer, and where there is sunny, there is rainy day. Sometimes the reality cannot be changed, but a positive attitude can make us face life with a smile. There is a little girl who walks from home to school every day. One morning, the weather was not very good and the clouds gradually thickened. In the afternoon, the wind blew harder, and soon there was thunder and lightning and heavy rain. The little girl's mother is worried. She is worried that the little girl will be scared by thunder, or even hit by it. Thunderstorm is getting bigger and bigger, and lightning pierces the sky like a sword. The little girl's mother drove quickly and looked for her along the route to school. Seeing her little daughter walking alone in the street, she found that every time there was lightning, she would stop, look up and smile. After watching it for a long time, the mother finally stopped the child and asked her, "What are you doing? "She said," Mom, you see God is taking pictures of me, so I want to laugh! " "There is also a short story: once upon a time, a scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam, stayed in a hotel on the way and had three dreams. First, I dreamed of planting cabbage on the wall; Second, I dreamed that I was wearing a hat and holding an umbrella; The third is to undress and sleep with my cousin, back to back. So the scholar asked the fortune teller to interpret the dream. The fortune teller said: it is useless to plant cabbage on the wall; Wear a hat and an umbrella-no need; Sleep back to back with my cousin.-no way. The scholar was very disappointed, ready to go home, give up going to Beijing to catch the exam, pack up and go back to the store. It happens that the shopkeeper will interpret dreams and say: what is planted on the wall is Chinese cabbage-it is a high kind (middle); I dreamed that I was wearing a hat and carrying an umbrella-I came prepared; Sleep back-to-back with your cousin-that means it's time to turn over. After listening to the store owner's explanation, the spirit doubled, and the scholar gave up going home and continued to go to Beijing to catch the exam. Later, he won the third place. This story tells us: 1, different mentality produces different results. 2. A positive attitude is the foundation of success! Mentality determines a person's happiness. Things will always coexist with yin and yang. A positive attitude will always see the good side of things, and a negative attitude will only see the bad side. A positive attitude can make a bad thing better, and a negative attitude can make a good thing worse. A positive attitude is like the sun, where it shines, a negative attitude is like the moon, which is different from the fifteenth day of the first month. The human brain is amazing, with a positive attitude, which allows you to continuously input positive information into the brain, open your mind and come up with solutions.
