Chapter 16 True success begins with action

Success starts with action.Responsibility to do things begins with the heart, and success requires many conditions, but it is not denied that action is a good start, because action is the prerequisite for achieving grand goals and lofty ideals.The faster and more methodically you act, the better your chances of success. There is a saying that goes well: "Fortune favors everyone in the world, but if she finds that the person is not ready to meet her, she will come in through the door and fly out through the window." In life, many people have their own ideals. Among them, some people talk about their ideals all day long, while others are struggling for their ideals in obscurity.

Mediocre people tend to put the easy things first, while excellent people put the most important and most valuable things first.So we often see that two people may be equally busy, but because they arrange things in different orders, the achievements they achieve are quite different. This is the difference in things. Not long after the famous Italian navigator Columbus discovered the New World, at a welcoming party in Spain, a nobleman suddenly uttered wild words: "Discovering the New World is nothing special, it is just a small thing that anyone can do, and it is not worth it at all. Zhang Yang." The nobleman continued: "Columbus just went west on a ship, went west again, and then encountered a continent in the ocean. I believe that any one of us just needs to go west on a ship , would also have this trivial discovery."

Columbus did not express the slightest embarrassment after listening to the nobleman's "high theory". He casually picked up a hard-boiled egg from the table beside him and said with a smile, "Everyone, please try it and see!" Who can make the small end of the egg face down and stand upright on the table." We tried all kinds of methods, but no one succeeded.Columbus picked up the egg in his hand and tapped it lightly on the table with his small head, and the egg stood firmly on the table. The noble said unconvinced: "If you break the egg, of course it can be erected. I can do it with this method."

Columbus got up and looked around everyone in the room with grace and said: "Yes, there are many things in the world that are very easy to do, but the biggest difference is that I have already done it and you have not." The best people set a vision for the future before launching, and then work backwards to take the first step.Most people have ideas about life, but never take the first step. To be successful, you have to act boldly and give it your all!Some people really want to achieve something, but they feel very difficult before doing it. They don't know what they want to do, and because they don't have a clear goal in their minds, they find it difficult to decide what to do next.

In a famine year, people have nothing to eat.There was a rich man who wanted to help people, but he didn't give alms in vain, but asked those who wanted to eat to do something for him, plowing a small vacant land for his family.People flocked.However, there was one person who stood still. Although his eyes were dimmed from hunger, and his mouth was drooling when he watched others eat deliciously, he still stood.The rich man came over and said, "Come and eat, but you can't do this tomorrow, unless you are like others!" After the man finished eating, he said, "Thank you, when I am rich, I will pay you back double!" The rich man smiled Let it go.But who knows, a few days later, people found the body of the man, starved to death!Think about it, if you want to be rich, why not work?If you want to gain and achieve, why not take action?

This story tells us: success begins with action.Don't be a giant of language, but a dwarf of action.Any great plan and goal must be realized by action, otherwise all ideals and plans are just fantasy and fantasy. The famous American writer Pearl Buck said: "I never wait for good luck to knock on the door. If you keep waiting, you can't accomplish anything. You must remember that only action can gain anything." Nature is like a magician. It sets up a curtain in front of you. Every time you take a step, the curtain will automatically retreat a step.So if you can't make it this far, you can't see the future clearly.Don't have too detailed plans for the future, the key is to take that step.
