Jobs once said:
"Focus and simplicity have always been the secret of my success."
Everyone wants to succeed, but there are no shortcuts or a guiding light on the road to success.
If you have to find a way to succeed, it's to stay focused in the moment and keep a simple lifestyle.
1: The power of concentration
If a person likes to do things with one mind and one mind, or even multi-purpose, he will fall into great confusion little by little.
As the old saying goes, "Less is gained, and more is confused." ”
This is like a person who covets more and refuses less, just like a person who wants to eat a bite to become a big fat man, which is obviously a stupid act.
When a person enjoys good food, he often only pays attention to quality, not the quantity in it.
If you blindly covet quantity, then the dishes that fill a large table can only swallow dates and eat without knowing the taste.
Doing things is not about more, but about focusing, about being refined.
The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once said:
"A life without concentration is like having big eyes and not seeing anything."
There is an interesting little story from ancient times:
It is said that it was a farmer, and it coincided with the flood disaster in that year, so that the grain harvest was not as good as before, and the mood was very anxious.
One day, he heard that someone had discovered a place where he knew where it was, saying that there were a lot of wild yellow eels there.
This farmer thought to himself that life is difficult now, and if he can get more yellow eels to raise and fill his stomach when necessary, it is also a very good choice.
The farmer went, found the right location, and really found a lot of yellow eels, but it took a long time and did not catch a single one.
This is because the peasants, far from having much patience, often get angry and whisper insults because they have caught a few and slipped away.
The people next to them heard it and laughed.
Because this farmer has always wanted to hold five yellow eels in one hand, in the end he can't hold any of them.
The Book of Shang says:
"You can't see clearly with both eyes, and you can't hear with your ears."
Only when a person precipitates his mind, settles his mind, single-mindedly, thinks one mind, and improves his attention, can he do things well one by one, and even to the extreme.
That's the power of concentration.
2: Stay focused
Many people live, just like the wind, blowing here and there.
Just like choosing a job, many people's starting point is that if they feel that the job is easy and profitable, then choose this job.
If the market is not good one day, thankless, it will become more and more irritable, and I really want to quit my job immediately to change to a new job.
In fact, three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the line, if a person is at the beginning with the goal of quick success to treat a job, then they can not do it for a long time.
First of all, once the industry has fluctuations and the market price is turbulent, the whole heart cannot be held back, and I always feel that the next few days will be very sad.
This kind of person has been calculating the monthly salary and annual salary all the time, but they have not thought about how to improve themselves, but in a variety of impetuous and anxious mentalities, they have gradually become impatient, let alone have any concentration.
Archimedes once said this:
"Give me a fulcrum and I'll pry the whole planet."
Many times, the power of concentration is like a soaking spirit, just as The Hakka like to brew a health wine, goji berries, dates and other accessories, and then place it in a bottle filled with rice wine.
Then, soak for three or five years, open the bottle, spoon out a bowl of wine, sweet and refreshing, lingering.
In fact, if a person with an anxious personality cannot wait for three or five years to drink, it means that they cannot enjoy more mellow wine.
A person, if he is paranoid about immersing himself in a certain field for a long time, maintaining the power of concentration, even if he feels very simple, very ordinary, or even very boring, still insists on it.
Then, over time, such people can become great people.
Because as long as a person is willing to concentrate his mind and energy on a point, and insist on doing a good job with his heart and effort, after a period of time, he will often bring unexpected and huge gains to himself.
Ten years of grinding a sword, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, patient people, dedicated people, always able to take time and action to prove their strength.
3: Let focus lead to success
There is a famous "twenty thousand hour theory" of success studies:
That is, if a person is willing to devote 20,000 hours of time to exercise, then anyone can go from ordinary to excellent from any field.
It's not so much the power of time as it is the power of concentration.
Because there is no doubt that twenty thousand hours of exercise time, the process is undoubtedly long, boring, tedious, painful, helpless, and difficult.
But it is precisely because of this that we have more reason to believe that the more a person dares to challenge difficult things, the greater his achievements can be.
Only by finding the goal of the moment, completing it with concentration, and completing it through concentration and persistence can you achieve success and achieve your extraordinary future faster.
