There's a line in the movie Cashback: "Knowing what you want is half the battle." The translation is to the effect that knowing what you want is half the battle. Seeing this sentence, I was deeply touched and encouraged with the reader.
I would like to ask you, is it difficult to succeed? Most people will think it's hard because they have a high definition of success. The rich side, Forbes has been on the list for many years, the power is tilted, and the people in the government and the public admire it, which is successful, but this is a minority after all, and the pyramid structure of society will always make some people unable to sit in a relatively high position. And the people at the top need something other than their own hard power, such as family, luck. Ordinary people can learn from them, but to be exactly like them, I am afraid it is a small probability event. Therefore, the people targeted in the movie are all of us ordinary people, healthy, self-sufficient, and skilled.
First identify the person, and then we return to the question just now, what exactly is success. It should be: all of us ordinary people, although not the rich side, but also a slight surplus, hard work can also buy a house, buy a car, change the house and change the car. Although it is not in the hands of great power, it is also a civil servant with little power in the system, and it is also a supervisor, manager, technical backbone and other identities in the enterprise. This definition of success, it should be said, as long as it is a person with a little intelligence and emotional intelligence, and then work hard and suffer a little, it can be achieved. Although you can't settle down in a first-tier city, you can also settle in a good city. Even if the family is in the countryside, it will also make a home in the county town. In short, if you work hard, you will definitely live a better life.
Identifying people, defining success, and then looking back at the phrase: knowing what you want is half the battle. It is really a word that breaks the true meaning of success. As a post-80s, the author is not old, far from the time to sell life experience to everyone (to be honest, even if he is older, the author does not think that he has this qualification and qualification), but in recent years, the workplace has been up and down, contact with too many people and things, and gradually found that there are too many people who do not know what they really want when they are old.
Let's say that I am around, there is a Shanghainese, after 60, this year's forty years old (the author has no regional discrimination, just cite the real examples around, in general, Shanghainese are very good, Yang Jiechi, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, are all Shanghainese), it is reasonable to say that this age, even if it is not rich and expensive, but also small rich and small, but this Jun really makes people surprised. Seven years after coming to a company, at the beginning the boss saw that he could speak well, bragged that he could do everything, so he let him do the procurement, and the result was that the price was wrong many times, and the boss asked him many times about the price of raw materials. The boss thinks that it may not be suitable for procurement, but after all, people are more active, so they let him be responsible for the service of large customers, and his subordinates still arrange people for him. But this jun did not know how to communicate with the customer, and even let the customer say: "You don't do it tomorrow." Such words. Every time a customer asks for delivery, it is an emphasis on difficulties. No way, finally was arranged to be responsible for production, but also many times the delivery is not timely, see the complex product does not want to do, said too troublesome; see the simple product does not want to do, said that the product is not valuable. Batch of things say that the profit is low, and the amount of things that are small is too little to be done. I don't even know where his value lies in the business. At present, he has nothing to do at work, his salary is pitifully small, there is no salary increase every time, and he still remembers in his heart that he hates the juniors whose wages are higher than his, and the boss is also very dissatisfied with him. In addition to the fat body, I did not find any improvement in other places.
A few times I came into contact with him, I found out that there were five sisters in the family, and he was the only son in the family, so the family was very accustomed to it and spoiled. Since childhood, it has been under the arrangement of parents and sisters to work, live, and pamper, resulting in a lack of inner strength, thus escaping difficulties and not daring to face difficulties. It is reasonable to say that after the 60s, the post-70s are a group with better luck in China. Because China is full of golden years, that is, from the 9th to the 2000s, this era is the post-60s, post-70s strong time, in fact, if you look carefully, you will find that many of the first people who got up after the reform were post-60s or post-70s.
I don't know how many other people in their 40s like him are. But I think the main reason is that he never knows what he really wants, he doesn't have a clear goal, sometimes it seems to be a mouthful, but it's all superficial remarks, and it's easy to be rhythmic by others. When you see that others are better than yourself, you become jealous and never reflect on yourself.
For each of us, knowing what we want is tantamount to giving ourselves a direction and working toward it. During the revolutionary war, many Communists were determined not to be seduced by beautiful women and money in exchange for today's happy life. And those who left the party halfway and betrayed the party eventually disappeared into the dust of history and became people's jokes.
The ice sculptures in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are even more typical representatives of firm will.
The past has passed, the present world, brilliant and colorful, people have too many choices, face too many temptations. Today to see the restaurant to make money, I am excited to do catering, tomorrow to see the Internet café to make money, and began to buy hundreds of computers. In the end, it was all a shallow taste, a void. Now, we need to listen to our own inner thoughts and know exactly what we really want. Once settled, don't change it easily. And so, you're halfway there.
Then some people may ask, what about the other half of the success, I think, the other half, is that you go to action, to execute. Having a clear idea, coupled with strong execution, success, is not far from you.
What do you think?
