Gold has no feet, no one is perfect.
No one is a sage, and no one can be blameless.
In the face of life's great right and wrong, you should not dwell too much on your own shortcomings in life - shortcomings, mistakes, or incompetence, but should face up to and focus on your own strengths, you will eventually find your personality charm, your own value, you are better than imagined.
Speaking to the University of Chicago, Rockefeller said:
Success is not measured by a person's height, weight, education, or family background, but by the "size" of his mind. The size of our thoughts determines the size of our achievements. The most important of these is that we should value ourselves and overcome the greatest weakness of human beings - inferiority. Don't sell yourself cheaply, you're greater than you think, so expand your mind to the extent that you're real and never look down on yourself. ”
This speech can be said to be a true portrayal of Rockefeller's life and a life of struggle.
A person's life, if summed up in two words, life and death, then each of us is repeating a circular trajectory. Maybe we can't choose where the center of the circle is, but we can stretch our own life radius, so that the area obtained will be larger. Therefore, how far the mind goes, how far can people go.
Liu Bei, a tyrant of the Three Kingdoms, was born from a straw mat, but he could not stop his ideal of restoring the Han Dynasty, and finally he laid the "three points of the world".
Rockefeller, a small bookkeeper with only $5, lived a hard and difficult life, did not crush his grand ideas, and tried to overcome the controversy of the People and establish a huge "oil kingdom" in the United States.
A positive and optimistic person will not be swayed by life, and a thoughtful person will not be intimidated by difficulties.
Rockefeller reminds the world:
Thought determines destiny.
We must use lofty ideals and great ideas to open up a bright road of life.
In front of the door of the ancient Greek temple, there is a sentence engraved: Know yourself. For thousands of years, people of all kinds have thought that to know themselves is to discover their own shortcomings and then improve. Of course, this kind of thinking is not without reason.
But Rockefeller had a monopolistic explanation for this, saying:
"For thousands of years, many philosophers have advised us in their wise words: Know yourself. However, most people interpret it as just recognizing the negative side of themselves. Most self-assessments include too many shortcomings, misses, and incompetence. It is a good thing to recognize our own shortcomings, and we can seek improvements in this way. However, if we only recognize the negative side of ourselves, we will fall into confusion and make ourselves worthless. ”
Treating our mistakes and shortcomings objectively is an aspect of what we need to learn, but actively discovering our strengths and strengths is also an important part of our lives. Only by knowing the good and knowing the bad can we be targeted and make the value get the greatest embodiment.
Knowing the positive side of ourselves can not only make us feel our own value, but also cultivate our positive attitude towards life happily, and this mentality is an important sign of successful people and an important support to help us go through life.
Rockefeller noted:
We can't steer the wind, but we can adjust the sails – choose our attitude. Once you have chosen to value your own attitude, the Confucian ideas of "I am a useless person", "I am a nameless little man", "I am old", "I am worthless" and other Confucian ideas that belittle yourself, consume will, weaken confidence, and self-abandonment will disappear and be replaced by the resurrection of the soul, the positive change of thinking and behavior, the enhancement of faith, with "I can!" And I'll be "in the face of everything."
Attitude determines the behavior of doing things.
Behavior determines the habit of doing things.
Habits, which determine the details of doing things.
Details determine the success or failure of things.
Yes, attitude determines our future, decides to see our choices and actions, and it is precisely because of Rockefeller's firm attitude to life that he has such brilliant achievements.
Therefore, we must have a firm belief and attitude, believe in our own ability, and establish the concept that I can be able to do it. Only in this way can we succeed.
Rockefeller once said:
"We have to value ourselves and overcome the greatest weakness of human beings - inferiority. Don't sell yourself cheaply, you are greater than you think, so expand your thoughts to the extent that you are real, and never look down on yourself. ”
No matter how many failures we experience, we must believe that we are the best one. Only in this way can we have the courage to reinvigorate ourselves and the courage to continue to move forward. ”
To complete a career, you don't believe that you can succeed, let alone expect others to believe that you are successful.
If you want to become an important person, you must first establish the belief that "I am important", but also firmly affirm yourself and believe in your own ability.
We need to always tell ourselves that we are better than we think we are. As long as we are not afraid of failure and self-inferiority, then success belongs to us.
At the same time, we must firmly believe that the premise of whether a cause can succeed is that we are the core people who lead this cause, and we can lead this cause to success.
There are many factors that affect career success, but Rockefeller mainly summarizes the following for us:
1. The size of the thought determines the size of the achievement.
2. Recognize the positive side of yourself in order to discover your own value.
3. Attitude determines our choices and actions.
4. You are even better than you think.
Everyone wants to be successful in their lives, and may Rockefeller's creed of success allow you to plug in a pair of successful wings and help you thrive in your career.
