Musk, the world's richest man, once mentioned in a speech that the key to his success is "internal drive", and the most terrible thing in the world is that there is no internal drive.

Because the richest man did not mention how to use internal drive, so from a practical point of view, his words just threw us a concept: if everyone wants to succeed, there must be an internal drive.

The so-called internal drive, to the effect that people take the initiative to do a certain thing enthusiasm and motivation.

But it's easy to say, but it's complicated.

Because of the internal drive that most people have, the key is the problem of more and less. The human body is like an energy bottle, some people are full of energy bottles, some people are a small half, some people are easy to be consumed, and some people are always full of energy.

In addition, treating things that are hobby and not hobbies also present different energy reactions. Therefore, whether you can find something you love is also a measure.

People are different. This difference ultimately comes down to the genetic level. But we explain in a universal sense that a young man, ordinary, with ideals and ambitions, wants to make some careers, how can he use his internal drive?

First, the internal driving force does not exist in isolation

If there is an internal drive, there must be an external drive. People are like cars, many cars are front-drive or rear-drive, only when the first two wheels rotate, drive the last two wheels to run, the car will start.

But in general, four-wheel drive cars will show more advantages when climbing over obstacles.

Therefore, people can not only rely on internal drive, the most important thing is to use both internal and external drive.

In fact, no one always relies on internal drive to do things, and all things that generate electricity for love will eventually come to an end, unless the person is almost crazy paranoid.

Everyone goes to a certain thing to get a result, just like eating to fill their stomachs and writing public names to win attention. If the results are delayed, the internal drive is like fuel, and one day it will burn out.

Let's take an analogy. A young man loves singing and practices his singing skills hard, so he is driven to participate in various singing competitions, constantly improve his level, and finally slowly gain popularity. At this time, he had initially established an external drive system, because people began to take the initiative to find him to sing and star in the show.

So what is the process of success? Take the internal driving force as the starting point, constantly get positive and negative feedback from the outside world, continue to cultivate yourself, and finally create your own brand, forming a brand attraction, and the external drive system formed by this brand attraction will continue to force you to continue to improve and progress.

But how does it work?

Second, how to drive inside and outside in parallel

You know, what's the basis of everything we're talking about now? That is, a young man, he relies on internal drive (goals, ideals) to start a certain career, how can he survive that arduous journey and reach the other side of success?

We have found that entrepreneurship is a very fast-growing thing. The reason for this is that he took the initiative to establish an external drive system and quickly forced himself to run wild on the road ahead.

You open a company, recruit a few employees, you will continue to be pushed by product, cost, marketing, employee wages, etc., and you yourself are full of energy, full of enthusiasm and hope for the industry, then this growth rate is very fast. But whether it is successful or not, it should be looked at separately.

There is also a way to wait for their own strength to mature and automatically form an external drive system.

You write articles, write well and be discovered, someone will urge you to change, this is the external drive; you make snacks, one day out of business, someone calls you to let you open soon, this is also the drive.

But the premise is that to achieve such a realm, ordinary people can't do it. It takes effort and time.

So the question is, in the long time of cultivation kung fu, the internal driving force fuel is constantly exhausted, how to support yourself to the end? You know, most people end up giving up because they can't afford not to see the expected outcome of the future.

There is only one way: build your external drive incentive system. How to build? Cut into countless small goals.

Man is a spiritual animal, and without sufficient spiritual satisfaction, he will not persist to the end. In fact, this is the same as people's happiness, we do not have to be too big surprises, but to increase the frequency of happiness, so that people's sense of happiness will be stronger.

In the same way, if people get high-frequency positive incentives on a certain thing, then the internal driving force for this thing will continue to increase, just like injecting energy into an energy bottle.

And this small, higher-frequency external drive, at the beginning of things, also needs to be established by themselves. If you do anything and want to eat a fat man in one bite, rather than chewing and swallowing slowly, then failure is inevitable.

In fact, when we say this, we find that the so-called parallel principle of internal and external driving is nothing more than the concepts of purpose and achievement. Nothing seems to be new.

But in fact, there is a language of one era and one era, and the prototype of the world's truth is the same. The point is, here and now, how do we understand a concept, a thing.

As with the concepts of internal and external drive, will retrying a new concept interpretation become more operational and contagious?

Hope the above is useful to you.
