Don't underestimate your value.

Story: Psychologists selected some athletes to do experiments in a famous university. They want this group of athletes to do some sports that others can't do, and tell them that they can do it, because they are the best athletes in China.

Athletes are divided into two groups. When the first group arrived at the gym, they tried their best to do it, but they still couldn't.

When the second group arrived at the gym, the researchers told them that the first group had failed.

"But your group is different." The researcher said: "Take this pill, it is a new medicine, which will make you reach the superhuman level."

As a result, the second group of athletes easily completed those difficult exercises.

"What kind of pill is that?" The participant asked.

"It is powder."

Truth: The second group did the impossible exercise because they believed they could. If you believe you can, you can accomplish everything you have to do. Most people fail because they misjudge their abilities and underestimate their value.

Turn fate into mission

Story: In ancient Greek mythology, there is a story about Schiff. Xiqifu was punished by the gods for breaking the laws of heaven and fell to suffer on earth. The punishment of the gods is: let Xiqifu push a stone up the mountain.

Every day, Sitcheever makes great efforts to push the stone to the top of the mountain, and then goes home to rest. However, when he rests, the stone will automatically roll down again. Therefore, Sitcheever will continue to push the stone up the hill. In this way, what Schiffer faced was: endless failure. God wants to punish Schiff, that is, to torture his mind and make him suffer in the fate of "endless failure".

However, Schiffer refused to give up. Every time he pushes a stone up the hill, he thinks: It is my responsibility to push a stone up the hill. As long as I push the stone to the top of the mountain, my responsibility will be completed. Whether the stone will roll down or not is none of my business.

Furthermore, when Schiffer tried to push the stone up the hill, his heart seemed calm, because he comforted himself: there are still stones to push tomorrow, there will be no unemployment tomorrow, and there is hope tomorrow. The gods could no longer punish Siqifu, so they sent him back to heaven.

Truth: Schiffer's fate can explain many things we encounter in the pursuit of success in life. If we can turn our destiny into a mission, then, to a great extent, we can control our own destiny. We can control our own destiny, so what can't we do?

Take some empty cups with you on the road.

Story: In a training class, the lecturer put two cups on the table in front of him. One cup is empty and the other is full. When the students were either whispering or listless as usual, the lecturer cleared his throat and said to everyone, "You don't have to listen to today's training class, but the game I will share next will affect your life!" At this time, there is some silence in the training room.

The speaker picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it into a glass full of water. The students in the audience looked at this scene inexplicably. Some people think that the lecturer's eyesight is not good, so they quickly remind the teacher that the cup is full.

Unexpectedly, because the lecturer turned a deaf ear, the water in the cup overflowed the table. The audience finally unbearable, with one voice to protest:

"Won't fall? The cup is no longer suitable. "

The lecturer just stopped and said slowly:

"Yes, I can't help it. So are you. If you want to learn more knowledge, you must make room for your brain and get rid of all the original things. "

Then, the lecturer picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it into the remaining empty cups. The lecturer quickly filled the empty cup.

Truth: In the journey of life, always take some empty cups with you. The emptier your cup is, the fuller your future cup will be. On the contrary, the fuller your cup is now, the more empty your cup will be in the future.

Stars and tents

Story: Two people go camping in the mountains together. When sleeping at night, one person asks another person, "What do you see?"

Another person replied: "I saw the stars all over the sky and deeply felt the vastness of the universe, the greatness of the creator, and how small and short our life is." . . . . . So what do you see? "

The first speaker said coldly, "I saw someone steal our tent."

Truth: A pure romantic who only looks at the stars regardless of his eyes may freeze to death, while a realist who is completely immersed in affairs and has no imagination is too boring. What life needs is to effectively combine the imagination of ideal life with the calm treatment in reality.

Someone who knocks on the door of success

Story: Dumas, a French writer, has a friend who is often refused to contribute to the publishing house.

This friend came to Dumas for advice.

Dumas' suggestion is simple: please ask the professional copywriter to write the manuscript clean, and then make some changes to the topic.

This friend followed Dumas' advice, and as a result, his article was taken by a publisher who had rejected him before. Who will have the patience to read if the writing is too sloppy?

Truth: On the road to success, people who strive for it occasionally knock on the door of success, but the owner of that door will also think: this person is so careless and everything is so negative and pessimistic. Forget it, let him wait outside for a while.

A scholar interprets dreams.

Story: A scholar went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams. The first dream is that I grow cabbage on the wall. The second dream is rain. He is wearing a hat and an umbrella. The third dream is to lie naked with my beloved cousin, but back to back.

These three dreams seem to have some profound meanings, so the scholar hurried to find fortune-telling 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? Lying naked in a bed with my cousin, but isn't back-to-back an opportunity? "

Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the inn to pack his bags and prepare to go home. The shopkeeper was surprised and asked, "Isn't there an exam tomorrow? How did you come back today? " The scholar said this and that.

The shopkeeper was very happy: "Hey, I can interpret dreams, too. I think you must stay this time. Think about it. Isn't it high school to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time? Lying naked in bed with your cousin doesn't mean you should turn over? " Hearing this, the scholar made more sense, so he took the exam happily and got a flower exploration.

Truth: The same dream, but the analysis is quite different. Positive people, like the sun, shine wherever they shine; Negative people are like the moon, but the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is different. Attitude determines our life, and what kind of attitude will lead to what kind of future.

As long as there is eternal hope in your heart

Story: A man has been working as a middle manager in a small company. He lost his job when the company was merged by a big company. He thinks he will really be kicked out of the house. When he came to the career counselor, his mood was extremely low. He has been running around for a long time, but he still can't find a job.

The consultant asked him, "What do you see in the future?" He replied feebly, "Frankly speaking, I can't see anything except a huge hole."

It is this idea that the future is illusory that makes this person lose the motivation needed for success and life becomes a burden. Losing all hope, he was immersed in extreme depression, and it was this loss of hope that seriously hindered his progress. Later, the man went to a restaurant as a supervisor and never got better.

Truth: Psychologist Victor Frank is a survivor of Nazi concentration camps in Germany. He found that in the unspeakable horror of concentration camps, those who showed the strongest were those who had eternal hope in their hearts. As the saying goes, the weak rise and fall with tears, and the strong strive to turn pain into happiness.

The tragedy of owl moving.

Story: Owls are always moving. On this day, he lives in the west of the forest and will move to the east. The reason is that people around him hate his ugly voice and refuse to associate with it. He felt that he couldn't live any longer and had to move, but he never settled down.

Seeing that he was tired of running around, the outspoken pigeon said to him, "If you can change your voice, of course you can move to the east, but if you don't change it, your new neighbors will still hate your voice."

Truth: Owls don't think about the reasons for their unpopularity. They just keep moving and waste time. As we all know, if we don't face up to the reality, find out our own problems and their causes realistically, and don't look for the final solution to the problems: simply changing the working environment will inevitably repeat the tragedy of "owl moving".

Put down your cup.

Story: A disappointed young man came all the way to Famen Temple and said to Shi Yuan, the host: 9 I have devoted myself to learning from Dan Qing, but so far I have not found a teacher who can satisfy me.

Shi Yuan asked with a smile, "You have been wandering for more than ten years, but you really haven't found a teacher of your own?" The young man sighed deeply and said, "Many people are in name only. I have seen their paintings, and some of them are even worse than mine. " Shi Yuan smiled and said, "Although I don't know painters, I love to collect some famous works. Since the donor's painting skills are not inferior to those of famous artists, please leave a treasure for the old monk. " With that, he ordered a young monk to get a pen and ink inkstone and a pile of rice paper.

Shi Yuan said, "The old monk's greatest hobby is drinking tea, especially those simple tea sets with smooth shapes. Can the donor draw me a teacup and teapot? " The young man listened and said, "Isn't it easy?" So I mixed a inkstone with thick ink, spread out the rice paper, and drew an oblique kettle and an elegant teacup with a few strokes. The spout of the kettle is slowly spitting out a cup of tea and pouring it into the teacup. The young man asked Ishihara, "Are you satisfied with this painting? Shi Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Shi Yuan said, "Your painting is really good, but the teapot and teacup are misplaced. It should be the teacup on the top and the teapot on the bottom. " Hearing this, the young man smiled and said, "Why is Master so confused? The teacup is on the top and the teapot is on the bottom. How can the teapot fill the teacup? " Shi Yuan smiled and said: 6 So you know this truth? You long for your cup to be filled with the artist's fragrant tea, but you always put your cup higher than those teapots. How to pour fragrant tea into your cup? Jian Gu lowers himself and absorbs the wisdom and experience of others.

Truth: All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance. Jianghai can be the king of all valleys because he is underground. If you want to have a career and glory, you must first have the mind and tolerance to accommodate all rivers.
