We can't change our birth, we can't change our age, we can't change the environment, we can't change the weather, we can't change others, but we can change ourselves and make ourselves positive. Yesterday, a fellow of mine who had not been in touch for many years called me, saying that her niece at Yancheng Normal College wanted to consult about the examination of Northwest University, and I remembered that it was about to be the time of the examination around Christmas, and the national examination for recruiting civil servants was also in the second half of this month, just when we were living a life of not hurrying and slowing down, thousands of students were already working hard to review and practice and prepare for the exam, hard! In fact, while we were still lying on the bed playing with our mobile phones, there were many people who had finished running, practicing words, dancing, finishing books, and writing small articles. A painter friend I know, every day I open my phone, the first glance can see he does not know how much time and energy spent to paint the exquisite landscape paintings, one of my friends in Shanghai, every day before 7 o'clock in the circle of friends to share at least 3 beautiful articles she has read. Maybe we think we're trying hard, but good people work harder than we do, and they work harder than we think. Excellent people are hard to grow and work hard, the harder you work, the luckier you are, the better, everything is not hard, do not fight, do not exert force, do not act to think of success that is impossible!
01 You always have to understand the meaning of hard work
Don't think so sublime, in fact, the effort is for their own good. Hard work to study, hard work to earn money, hard work to move up are all for themselves, for change, for the pursuit of a better life. We have many people who often sigh and lament that life is not easy and unsatisfactory, but they do not ask themselves, have you tried to work hard, have you tried to change?
Some time ago, Huang Guoping, who worked for the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was known as "Dr. Hanmen", caused a heated discussion on the Internet in the acknowledgment part of his doctoral dissertation. The author Huang Guoping recalled how he went all the way out of the mountains, worked hard to learn and the story of the struggle of fate, touched many netizens, including myself. I remember that the reporter interviewed Huang Guoping's uncle in the report and had such a paragraph: "My mother ran away from home, my father died in a car accident, and the people he can rely on for him are me and his brother." Huang Guojun recalled the years more than 20 years ago, full of heartache for Huang Guoping to experience family changes at such a young age, when he saw that the bed board where he slept was full of mud, and the roof was leaking rain, Huang Guojun directly took him to his home.
Huang Guojun was most impressed by the filial piety and diligence of his nephew. "He was reluctant to play, and every time he came home from school he would help the family herd cattle, and when he herded the cattle, he would hold a book and read it." Usually, when the farm work is done, I go back to the house to write my homework. Huang Guojun said. At that time, in order to raise more than 200 yuan of tuition and miscellaneous fees, Huang Guoping caught yellow eels, raised piglets, and completed junior high school with the help of neighbors around him. Huang Jun, secretary of the party branch of Juguang Rural Community, recalled that when the two families lived close together, Huang Guoping would often come to his house to visit. "He always had good grades, when everyone else had electric lights, he could only light kerosene from the town, and after 12 o'clock at night he could still see him studying, and a little glimmer leaked out of the house." Huang Guoping's story once again confirms that the "cold door" cannot extinguish the will, and "the effort will eventually be successful".
From the 36-year-old housewife "Miao Ya Ya" who came out of the Lyceum College Writing Training Camp, using less than a year's efforts, starting from zero, now creating in the field of public accounts, 1.5W+ per month, she encouraged xueyou to say, you see I am also starting from zero foundation, I was also very skeptical of myself, but as long as you love, pick up the pen, immerse yourself, and insist on trying to write, you have confidence and courage, don't be discouraged, never have a chance without writing. One of my good friends, the eldest sister of "Good Dreams", is 72 years old, and despite the sudden changes in the family, despite the physical and mental exhaustion, resolutely picked up the pen, which made me deeply moved.
In life, there are often friends who complain that the interpersonal environment in the unit is not good, the leader is not waiting to see, the colleague is not strong, want to jump ship, want to escape, in fact, I don't know if these friends have you tried to work hard, try to change yourself. I see the most heartfelt sentence, that is, "Don't doubt the meaning of hard work, hard work will never fail you", hard work is never to get what you want to do, but to make yourself want to do nothing without doing anything, do not want to get this can also firmly believe that there will be better opportunities waiting for you. The meaning of hard work is to look around in the days to come, all of which are people and things you like.
02 Strive you only have to change your mindset
Bad mentality, can't work hard! Without a good mindset, you don't have the determination to work hard and refuse to grow. So, to work hard, start with a change of mindset. The fable of a growing apple tree I've seen has influenced me for years, and in the early years, I was resentful, mentally unbalanced, and hesitant about my efforts to get no results. The story goes something like this: an apple tree, finally bearing fruit. In the first year, it made 10 apples, 9 of which were taken away and 1 of which itself was obtained. In this regard, the apple tree was indignant, so it cut off its meridians and refused to grow. The following year, it made 5 apples, 4 were taken away, and 1 was obtained by itself. "Haha, I got 10% last year and 20% this year! Doubled. "This apple tree is psychologically balanced. However, it can still go like this: continue to grow. For example, the following year, it bore 100 fruits, took 90 of them, and got 10 of themselves. Most likely, it was taken away with 99 and 1 by itself. But it doesn't matter, it can continue to grow, and in the third year it will bear 1,000 fruits... In fact, how much fruit you get is not the most important thing. On top of that, apple trees are growing! When the apple tree grows into a towering tree, the forces that have hindered its growth will be too weak to be ignored. Really, don't care too much about the fruit, effort and growth are the most important.
03 You have to find the right direction
The direction is not right, and the efforts are in vain. Examples of this abound in life. That's what it means. There is a small story: the little rabbit is the sprint champion of the previous small animal games, but one thing is that he can't swim. For the sake of the comprehensive development of small animals, the Animal Administration sent the little rabbits to swim training classes, which would have been a good thing. But it brought distress to the little rabbit, spent a lot of time or did not learn to swim, began to wonder if he was still not the little rabbit who always won the sprint championship at the Games? I can't even learn to swim, am I so bad? Seeing that the puppies and tortoises in the same class have quickly learned to swim and have a new skill, they are very happy, but the little rabbits are very distressed and do not know what to do? In life, how many of us are like little rabbits, forced to accept learning what we are not good at, even if we try hard, we still have no gain. Just as pan Changjiang was allowed to play basketball, Yuan Longping was allowed to study the atomic bomb, and Yao Ming was allowed to hurdle, all efforts in the wrong direction were in vain, and the direction was correct, and talent and sweat could be more icing on the cake.
I want to work hard to engage in new media creation friends are the same, want to take the road of creation, first of all, to take stock of themselves, plan themselves, find their own direction, can not follow the clouds, blindly chase the wind. According to your experience, skills, hobbies, identity four dimensions to think, one of my classmates "Yimi" is a medical worker, a third-level psychological counselor, in life and work experienced a lot of stories. Master some medical related knowledge, usually read emotional, communication and psychological books. Interested in emotional and communication, especially in intimate relationships. Based on the above four aspects, she set a clear positioning for herself in the three aspects of communication, psychology, family, growth, and women's growth.
04 You have to master certain methods and skills to try
Take writing as an example, Teacher Shaocong taught our classmates the rewriting method, simulation method, golden sentence + case + point of view, channel method, etc. After many of our students who listened to the class together learned, they immediately tried to apply these methods, and the quality of the article improved rapidly. My netizen "A love in May" used these methods to write a "If Dreams Have Colors" that became a blockbuster article.
05 You have to persevere
Run two steps, feel tired, don't want to run, encounter a little difficulty, just retreat, that's not OK. Remember there is a saying that said, hard things to do and worth doing are often the same thing, we must jump out of our comfort zone, just like the day is cold, we also have to go out, run a lap, run and run is not cold. I didn't like to run before, but under the influence of my friends, I tried to run with him, starting with one lap or two laps, and now I insist on running every day, and the more I run, the easier it is. I have been writing for at least one or two days a day after registering for headlines, and now I have tasted the sweetness, and the more I write, the more slippery I write.
I left this statement in the comment area of a post-90s netizen: "The way you try is beautiful, whether you run up or walk, as long as you work hard to move forward." Persistence is a beauty. Persistence is a kind of self-encouragement. Persistence requires goals, as much as you can stick to, grit your teeth and persevere. Your current situation is the result of your efforts three years ago, and your current situation will determine the results of the next three to five years. If you don't believe me, let's walk and try it, and then look back. ”
A person is not afraid of regretting what he has done, but is afraid of regretting what he did not do. On the road of life, we will always encounter problems of one kind or another, some people choose to escape, and some people choose to face difficulties. But I firmly believe that only by continuing to work hard and become a better self can we be worthy of a better you; sticking to your dreams and practicing it down-to-earth can you walk into a brilliant tomorrow. Believe in yourself, look forward to tomorrow, and run hard. Because this world has never owed a debt to anyone who is actively working hard every day.
