What is a positive attitude?

A scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam lived in an inn. A few days before the exam, he had three dreams. One is that it rained one day, and he brought a hat and an umbrella. The other is that he grows vegetables on the wall. The third is that he is naked. He thought about it and felt that all three dreams seemed to have some meaning. So, the scholar went to the fortune teller to interpret dreams.

After listening to the scholar's words, the fortune teller quickly showed his surprise and said, "You'd better go home. Look, isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella when it rains? Can you grow vegetables on the high wall? It's no use planting it. Doesn't your nakedness mean that you have nothing? " Hearing this, the scholar lost confidence in everything and had to go back to the store to pack up and go home.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he felt very strange and asked, "There will be an exam tomorrow. How can I go home today? " Yu Xiucai told the boss what happened, and the boss smiled: "I thought something happened! I can also interpret dreams! "

"I think you can't go back. Think about it, doesn't growing vegetables on a high wall mean that you can go to "high school"? Didn't you say you were going to wear a hat and an umbrella? You are naked, which means you have a chance to turn over! " After listening to this, the scholar felt that what the boss said was more reasonable, so he took part in the exam happily and even won the first prize.

In fact, life depends on ideas, and what kind of ideas will there be in the future. No matter which company you are in, you have never been promoted or rewarded for your bad temper and negative attitude. If you carefully observe those successful people, you will find that they are often very active, helpful and often praise and encourage others.

One day, a teenager went to consult an old pianist. The old pianist said, "Son, please play a song for me first." The teenager played the third of Paganini's 24 etudes, which was full of flaws and could not bear to listen to it. At the end of the piece, the old pianist asked the boy, "Why do you like playing the violin so much?" The boy said, "I want to succeed. I want to be a great violinist like Paganini." The old pianist asked again, "Are you happy?" The boy replied, "I am very happy." The old violinist took the boy to his garden and said to him, "son, you are very happy, which shows that you have succeeded." Why do you have to be a great violinist like Paganini? " In my opinion, happiness itself is success. "

After listening to the pianist, the boy was deeply moved. He finally understood that happiness is the lowest cost and lowest risk success in the world, but it can really benefit people. If you don't ask for anything else, you are likely to fall into the swamp of disappointment, depression and depression. The fire of fanaticism in the hearts of teenagers has since subsided. He still often plays the violin, but he is no longer trapped in Paganini's dream. Who is this teenager? Albert Einstein still loved the violin all his life, but he played badly, but he enjoyed it.

Happiness is success, which is a philosophy of life full of sunshine. In real life, it is not difficult for us to meet such people. They are rosy, healthy, smiling and happy. They have lived out all the benefits of being a man, but they have not achieved much in their careers and are not very close to fame and fortune. Are such people really losers? Actually, not necessarily.

Once, Napoleon Hill had a misunderstanding with the administrator in the office building, and it was this misunderstanding that led to the hostile situation between them. When Napoleon was working alone in the office, the administrator turned off the electricity in the whole building in order to express his dissatisfaction with Napoleon.

This has happened several times. One day, Napoleon was preparing his speech for the next day in his study. While he was tidying up, the power went out again. Napoleon Hill got up in a rage and ran to the basement of the building, where he knew he could find the administrator. He came to the administrator and saw that the administrator was slowly adding coal to the boiler, whistling as if nothing had happened.

Napoleon Hill didn't think much, but scolded him. A few minutes passed, and he said a lot of ugly things to scold him. After a while, Napoleon Hill scolded until he couldn't think of anything else to scold, so he stopped cursing. At this time, the administrator stood up and smiled and said to him, "You are a little excited today, aren't you?" The magistrate's words pierced Napoleon Hill's heart like a sword.

You can imagine how Napoleon Hill felt at that time. In his eyes, the administrator can be regarded as illiterate, unable to read or write. But he easily defeated himself in this war of words. Napoleon Hill knew very well that he was not only defeated, but also took the initiative to attack, which was wrong. At this thought, his conscience was condemned and his shame increased.

Napoleon Hill knew that he had to say "I'm sorry" to the administrator to get peace. Finally, he struggled in his heart whether to apologize to him. It was a long time before he made up his mind to go to the basement and had to face humiliation. When Napoleon Hill came to the basement, he went to the librarian. After the administrator saw it, he asked in a very gentle tone, "What do you want?"

Napoleon Hill said gravely, "I have come to apologize to you. I hope you can accept it. "

The administrator smiled at him again and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. No one can hear what you just said except you and me. I won't say it, and neither will you, so let's forget it! "

These words are more lethal to Napoleon Hill than what he said last time, because the other party not only forgave him, but also helped him hide it for him, reducing unnecessary harm.

Napoleon Hill went over and shook his hand hard. At this point, he not only shook hands with his hands but also shook hands from the heart, and then went back to the office. He felt very happy because he had the courage to solve the wrong thing he had done.

After this incident, Napoleon Hill decided that he must manage himself in the future and not lose self-control. Because once a person loses self-control, it is easy to be defeated. After this decision, Mount Napoleon changed obviously. Every word he said carries more weight, and his writing plays a greater role. Therefore, it is easy for him to gain recognition from others in his contacts.

This incident was a very important turning point in Napoleon Hill's life. He said: "This incident also taught me a truth: a person can only control others if he controls himself first.
