"People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has clouds and sunshine."
Everything in the world is not perfect, and there are always some shortcomings left for people to make up the diversity of our lives.
But many people always want to do everything perfectly, and everything requires themselves to be perfect. Once you find that something is wrong, it will affect the mood.
They don't allow themselves to make mistakes, and once they do, they constantly blame themselves; When the requirements for perfection are not met, they feel disappointed and frustrated with themselves. Do you demand perfection in everything? And ask for children, ask for lovers to do the same?
Today we will talk about the topic of "accepting the small shortcomings in life".
Excessive pursuit of the ultimate is a kind of torture for oneself
Lisa is an employee of a property company, she works conscientiously and responsibly, pursues perfection everywhere, and does her best to solve the requirements of each owner, even if it is a small thing, hoping that she can leave a perfect impression in the mind of the owner. But what she didn't expect was that no matter how hard she tried, there were still some people who criticized her. Sometimes the owners complain that their feedback has not been resolved in time, sometimes they will complain about her because of a small problem, and sometimes they will take her out of anger because they are not satisfied with the company's policies. This made her very distressed, even to the point of not being able to sleep at night. The superior leader said that she should learn to stand in the company's position to refuse some unreasonable demands, because it is impossible for everyone to get the approval of 100% of the owners. The pursuit of perfection is a good thing, but it is unprincipled
The pursuit of perfection only hurts you.
Whether in life or at work, the pursuit of perfection is a positive attitude, but we also have to accept imperfect results. Accepting some small shortcomings will make life easier.
Accept the shortcomings in life and experience the happiness you already have
Ah Xia has a son, who has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. He always walked on tiptoes, particularly protruding from his chest. It looks a little weird.
Ah Xia was afraid that the child had a bone problem, so she took her son through various examinations, but she could not find out what the cause was. He also went to Beijing and Shanghai to seek medical treatment, and in the end he could not find out the problem.
Later, this matter could only be set aside. Children grow up like this just like most children. From elementary school to junior high school to high school, the development is the same as other children, there is nothing abnormal. But he still walked on tiptoeing with his chest up. At the beginning, Ah Xia's worries about not growing tall and mentally developing insufficiency did not appear. She breathed a sigh of relief. Although overall taller than most children. But Ah Xia said that she was already satisfied, as long as the child was healthy and happy.
Children do not go to college after graduating from high school, and can only go to junior college. Ah Xia said that if he didn't want to study and wanted to go to college, let him go. Ah Xia said that she herself was really thinking very openly now. Because he saw too many cases in the process of seeking medical treatment, compared to other children, he was mentally sound, able to walk and jump, and was already the most perfect child. This little problem of his did not affect his self-care ability and normal thinking ability in life. Ah Xia now cherishes the current situation very much, and only hopes that the child can learn a skill and be able to support himself.
The Arabic proverb once said: The moon also has freckles on its face. There are always many imperfections in life, and only by crossing him can you experience the happiness of life.
It is never a regret that determines life, but a dream
At this Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Zheng Shuang, a mainland "armless" swimmer, broke the world record and won the championship. He shouted at his two-year-old daughter in front of the camera: "Daughter, take a good look at me, I can swim so fast without my hands!" This picture makes people cry when they look at it. Zheng Shuang was snatched away by an electric shock accident when he was a child. When the Yunnan Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation went to select seedlings, his parents were not willing to let Zheng Shuang become an athlete. But at a young age, he wanted to try it, and he said he didn't want to be a waste. In the swimming team, he trained harder than anyone else and gave more than anyone. Others practiced for five hours, and he practiced for eight or nine hours. Talent combined with hard work allowed him to win gold medals at both the London and Rio Paralympic Games. This time, he participated in the Tokyo Paralympic Games as a veteran. During the pre-conference training, although he had injuries on his body, he trained as hard as when he was a child, swimming no less than 10,000 meters a day. He won another gold medal in this competition. Although his arms were mutilated, he used his indomitable soul to deduce a different kind of brilliant life.
There are always shortcomings in life, so we don't have to grasp our powerlessness and accept the lack, just like accepting different colors.
