Being the best version of yourself is the key to everything

Gu Ailing

18-year-old Olympic champion Gu Ailing continued to brush the screen, and even after she finished the freestyle ski slope obstacle course qualification competition, holding a leek box and eating well was also rushed to the hot search.

Gu Ailing's real genius lies in the fact that some people are still chasing stars in their 20s and still staying up late to play games, but her mind has long exceeded that of 18 years old, and her words and deeds reveal philosophical wisdom everywhere.

Sunny, handsome, kind, intelligent, confident... Sparkling all over, who doesn't like it! It doesn't feel like living in the same world.

Olympic champions, international superstars, high looks, high emotional intelligence, this is not how much money can be cultivated.

It is difficult for ordinary people to cultivate Gu Ailing, and even if they work hard all their lives, they cannot reach the height of Gu Ailing's parents, but this does not prevent them from cultivating themselves to the extreme within their own ability and being the best of themselves.

After all, making yourself better is the key to everything.

How to make yourself better, I have nine suggestions.

First, cherish time. Money is not a luxury, but time is, and the gap between people and people is different in the control and use of time. Do not waste every minute and second, use one day as two days, be the master of time rather than a slave, and these times will give you blessings sooner or later. Where time is poured determines the future position of you and me, and the more time we squander, the more difficult it is to stand up.

Second, do things in a planned way. Make a list of work tasks that need to be solved, clearly know what to do and what to do every moment of the day, what problems to solve, further refine and quantify the work tasks, insist on outputting meaningful things for a long time, and believe that every day is on the way uphill.

Third, keep taking good notes. Life is made up of diaries, and not writing notes never knows that your time is wasted. Only record what has been done, rather than simply keeping a running account, so that doing more and doing less is clear at a glance, you can't deceive yourself, and you won't go to the mixed life. Without taking notes, it is difficult for you to summarize and sort out what you have done, don't look at the busyness of the whole day, once the leader suddenly asks about the work, you will not be able to answer. Just like blitzkrieg, before the reaction has come, the battle is over. The work is not less, it is not summed up and cannot be said, and what is the use of regret. By taking notes, you know whether every day is full or wasteful, and only by keeping your heart in a state of fullness can you enjoy the joy and sense of accomplishment brought by work.

Fourth, don't forget to read and study. No matter how busy and tired you are every day, you must read and study, strengthen your heart, and learn to get along with your own smallness and vulnerability. You know, all anxiety, impetuousness, shallowness, lack of confidence, are caused by insufficient reading. What knowledge gives you is the ability to understand the world, to understand yourself, and then to gain a glue force that will heal you even if you are crushed to pieces.

Fifth, continue to improve yourself. The more certificates you have, the more core competitive you have. Taking down all the academic qualifications that can be improved and the certificates that can be tested are all bargaining weights in the future. After all, academic qualifications are depreciating, skill renewal is accelerating, in this general trend environment, first make yourself valuable.

Sixth, continuous exercise. Not necessarily to the gym to be able to fitness, choose some suitable for their own push-ups, sit-ups, jump rope, jogging, brisk walking and other simple and easy random exercises, these random exercises do not need to deliberately arrange time, do not need to use any equipment, do not need to spend money, can be carried out anytime and anywhere, can easily solve the lack of exercise time, it is difficult to stick to the problem. You see, walking to and from work, skipping rope without rope between work, practicing lifting when taking the elevator, doing push-ups and sit-ups when sleeping, while doing other things, solving exercise by the way, it is really two without delay, how simple. You can't manage others, but you must manage yourself well, your body is not well managed, and the rest needs to be said more?

Seventh, work to the extreme. Zhou Runfa has a line in "Peerless": In this world, there is only one protagonist among 1 million people, and this protagonist must be the person who has done things to the extreme. Often use the thinking of leadership to ask yourself, if you are a leader, who will you promote? If it's not you, you're not good enough. Don't believe that it doesn't matter, no matter how well you do it, it's useless, these words are all imaginary. You know, really excellent people, even if they don't get involved, the leader also wants to promote you, if the leaders promote are all mediocre talents who sneak around, sorry, his career has come to an end.

Eighth, get a part-time job. The advantages of doing part-time work are that you can increase your income, second, you can understand society, and third, you can constantly change circles. Do part-time work, you will find that many people who are better than you work harder than you, and with them, you are embarrassed to hang on to them. Otherwise, even if it is a beautiful jade, soaked in the dung pit every day, it will become a stinky stone.

Ninth, meditate regularly. Gu Ailing said: "I am a very introverted person by nature, I like to write a diary and do a lot of self-reflection. I also play the piano. I also had a small keyboard (musical keyboard) here, which was very small, but I had one with me in the room and I could play the piano. I write something at night, and then I take a long shower, I do some meditation, I do something that allows me to focus my attention on myself, to keep one of my thoughts, not to be disturbed by outside sounds. "Meditation can penetrate everything in the world, and some people think about problems, or need to make important decisions, habitually go to the bath, and all kinds of whimsical ideas burst out to get more benefits." If it doesn't work, you can give it a try.

The above nine points, don't ask whether you can make yourself better, the key lies in whether you can implement it, and whether you can insist on repeating effective behavior. If it cannot be implemented, no matter how good the scriptures are, they will not play much role.

Being the best version of yourself is not only the need for your own progress, but also the need to accompany your child's growth. Even if a person has strong assets and drinks and plays cards every day and does nothing, the child will look down on him. When people ask, what kind of work does your father do, he can't say that my father plays cards every day.

Got it? No matter what, you must find a suitable job, it is not important to earn more and earn less, what is important is to give your child confidence and accompany your child to be positive with the power of example. We should put all our hopes on ourselves, if we pin ourselves on others, we may still be disappointed in the end, and we can't rely on what others think about.

Don't think that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this is irresponsible ear-covering. A person who has no money can pretend to be rich, and no power can pretend to be powerful, but there are two things that cannot be pretended, that is, he has not seen the world, he cannot pretend to have seen the world, and he cannot pretend to be learned without learning. The height of the parents is the starting line of the child, and only by being well-informed can we cultivate the infinite possibilities of the child. For the sake of the children, you have to push yourself.

You see, the same encounter in the three forks of life, high-level and high-quality parents click a few words, than ordinary people's children to take a lot of detours, this is to win the starting line of life, but also to cultivate themselves more important than to cultivate their children. I don't know, I haven't seen or experienced it, and I have to give guidance to my children with a hard scalp, which is a bit unrealistic, and it is still utopian in essence.

As an ordinary person, I consciously stay away from all kinds of right and wrong, care more about my own affairs, and care less about chickens and dogs. Think more about how to do a good job, and think less about Zhang's parents Li Jia short. As long as you do more today than yesterday, and tomorrow you do better than today, all your efforts will not be in vain.

Believe that the seeds sown in the past will take root and sprout in places where you inadvertently come from.

That's it!
