The English poet William. Blake once said:

"People who just want to don't do it can only produce thought garbage." Success is a ladder, and a person with his hands in his pockets cannot climb up. ”

Everyone wants to change their lives and succeed, but people who want to do more and less will not only fail to succeed, but will breed anxiety.

The achievements of life, more thinking is far better than more, choose a thing, focus on the time, build a business, focus is the most responsible way for growth.

There are too many ideas to focus on

The writer Classical wrote in "The Leap":

"Heaven has given you unlimited opportunities, but only limited time, energy and talent, so the better you are, the more focused you are."

In this era of convenient information, the more focused you are, the freer your life will be.

When Bill Gates and Buffett first met, their father gave them a card and asked them to describe their achievements in one word. They invariably wrote the word "concentration."

We understand the importance of concentration, but we cannot control the greedy mind, and everything is just a matter of time, but the results are often very different.

I've seen a story like this:

A go master took in two students, and the two of them took classes together and practiced together, but the results were far apart.

Two hours of class, a person only listens to half an hour, the rest of the time is not to break the finger or to see the flowers and plants, the heart is ape, left and right, can not concentrate at all.

The other, on the other hand, observes every move played by the teacher, uses notes to make each move, consolidates after class practice, and improves his chess skills rapidly.

The two obviously learned from the same person, but because of the difference in concentration, the harvest was like cloud mud.

The delivery of attention determines the growth of people. Complicated thoughts, multi-purpose, unskilled skills, it is difficult to achieve anything.

As Zeng Guofan said:

"When a mortal does a thing, he must concentrate on it with all his heart, and he must not stop at the end; he will not see any change of thoughts, and he will do this and that. Man is impermanent and achieves nothing in his life. ”

Dedicated people, firm in heart, determined in purpose, single-minded in action, all the way to the ideal.

People with ape hearts and horses, who have dual intentions, separate actions and consciousness, can neither devote themselves to the present, nor can they fully plan for the future, and the results will only be less than satisfactory.

Excellent people, not can do a lot of things at the same time, but everything they do, can maintain 100% focus.

Grasp the moment, devote yourself to it, and the desired result will come as promised.

Pretend to work hard and deceive yourself

Bi Shumin said: "The world is disturbed one after another, and some roads are walked with their feet. Some roads should be walked with heart. ”

There is a buzzword on the Internet called "active waste".

This kind of person loves to make a flag for himself, but he does not take action to achieve. They are positive in their mentality and negative in their actions; they enjoy themselves intermittently, but they often blame themselves for indulgence.

Friend Xiaomi is a serious victim of weight loss, insisting on losing weight for several years, but the results have little effect.

In order to lose weight, she jumped rope, made slimming meals to control fat; bagged foods, as long as the fat content exceeded 30%, did not touch; company dinners, high-carb foods are never ingested.

Her plan seemed strict, but in reality, the half-hour exercise goal a day was only adhered to for a few days; the homemade diet meal, under her reasonable explanation, died hastily.

In the circle of friends, I basked in weight loss and punched the card, showing self-discipline, but deviating from the original intention in action and choosing to lie flat.

The goal of each time is not to achieve, but to show off.

Pretend to work hard, and the end result will bring the most real feedback. The struggle to wander between action and indulgence, to deceive oneself, is nothing more than the internal friction of standing still.

Through self-deception, to gain inner comfort, to paralyze yourself with disguised efforts, but to forget that the action of not walking is like a castle in the air, mistakenly thinking that the future is bright, but the reality is an illusion.

As Xiao Zhuo said in "You Just Pretend to Be Trying Hard":

"It's easy to deceive others, it's easier to deceive yourself, but it's really hard to deceive the world, because what you owe will one day have to be returned with profit." 」

When our efforts are only self-moved by saturated actions, the results must not be much better.

Compared with self-moving efforts, firm in the heart of the goal, not disturbed by the outside world, striding forward, is the most valuable form of struggle.

Practice with a deep heart, and the future can be expected

I have heard the saying: "Those who are impetuous will achieve nothing." Those who are peaceful in heart and qi, Hundred Blessings are self-collecting. ”

Compared with people who are impetuous and half-hearted, those who are calm and unsettled by the outside world are the real strong.

In modern society, the temptations are endless. The impact of entertainment and information created by short videos is harvesting and competing for our attention. It is not easy to study calmly and take steps.

However, the more you insist on doing something difficult, the more promising the future is.

Lu Yao gained a high reputation after the publication of the novel "Life" and was also sought after by the world. But he had a farther goal: he wanted to write a huge book before the age of 40.

To this end, he hid himself in the depths of Tongchuan, which was far away from the hustle and bustle and modern materials.

In a room with only one set of tables and chairs, like an empty "single room" for prisoners, a new creation began.

He always stayed up late into the morning, and he only took a nap when the sun rose. Sleeping only four or five hours a day, waking up and immediately immersing himself in writing, such a state became his daily routine.

Seven years of "ascetic" life, "Ordinary World" came out with a shock. The tome of more than 1 million words is Lu Yao's "self-abuse" of more than 2,000 days and nights.

This determination and ability to sink down and practice gives him the courage to let go of prosperity and reap the fruits of his dreams with his own efforts.

Learn to abandon the disturbances of the outside world, sink your heart to work hard, and act steadily, and life will glow with more possibilities.

Not impetuous, calm and calm, only then can the heart go, will be successful.

The Buddha has a saying: "Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, if the heart is not moving, people do not move, and if they do not move, they are not hurt; if the heart moves, people are careless, they hurt their bodies and their bones, so they experience all kinds of suffering in the world." ”

People who think too much are prone to apes, it is difficult to maintain concentration, rely on one-sided efforts, but delusionally have the ability to change their lives.

Life is like everything, learn to invest in the body and mind, focus on doing one thing, the heart is firm and unshakable, and the growth will be able to do as desired.

For the rest of your life, I wish you, with the ability to calm down, and follow the same steps, out of your own piece of the sky.
