Chapter 72 Find the gap more from yourself

If you make a mistake, remember that only by finding the reason from yourself can you correct the mistake, avoid repeating the same mistake, and avoid greater harm in the future. Let me tell you a story that happened in the US Marine Corps. One day, an officer went down to visit the soldiers.In the barracks, the officer saw a soldier wearing a hat that was so big that it almost covered his eyes. He walked over to the soldier and asked, "Why is your hat so big?" "Report sir, it's not that my hat is too big." Big, but my head is too small." The soldier stood at attention and said.The officer laughed when he heard this, "Isn't the head too small because the hat is too big?" The soldier said, "If a soldier encounters something, he should first find the cause from himself, not from other sources. "

The officer nodded, as if realizing something. 10 years later, the soldier became a great major general. If everyone could, like this soldier, first find out the reasons from themselves, where would there be any bad work?Where is the time to complain about this and that?We will only find the gap from ourselves, and through continuous learning, we will strive to improve ourselves and narrow the gap between ourselves and others. If you fail, you must dare to admit it.Even if there are unfair reasons, don't blame blindly.You know, what you know is very one-sided and subjective.Once you slip up and say something that is not standard, it will be a failure to the end.Failure this time does not mean failure forever.It can also be understood that this so-called opportunity may not be an opportunity for you.Because you see, and realize, that there are people on better terms than you.

On the road of life, sometimes one step is faster and sometimes one step slower, this is normal.Success, not complacent.If you fail, don't be negative and discouraged. This is the correct attitude. Johnson, who has been struggling at the bottom of the company for a long time, is always facing the danger of unemployment and has entered the middle age, came to the office of the company's boss. When he spoke, he looked passionate and complained that the company was unwilling to give him a chance. "Then why don't you go for it yourself?" the boss asked him. "I have also fought for it, but I don't think it is an opportunity." Johnson is still aggrieved.

"Can you tell me what that is?" "A few days ago, the company sent me to work in an overseas branch, but at my age, how can I endure such a toss?" "Why do you think this is a toss instead of an opportunity?" "Can't you see? There are so many positions in the company's headquarters, but I have to go to such a remote place. I have a heart disease, and everyone in the company knows that." The boss can't confirm whether everyone in the company knows that Johnson has a heart attack. If so, I really hope he is not so angry.The boss is more inclined to think that he has committed one of the most serious occupational diseases: always thinking that what he is doing is right.

"If you fail, first find the reason from yourself", it sounds simple, but it is not easy to do.This requires courage and a strong psychological quality.Cowardly people are unwilling to face setbacks, unwilling to admit that they caused the situation in front of them.But the more this is the case, the harder it will be to learn the lesson next time, and mistakes and failures will become habitual. There must be big goals in life, but also small goals.Goals can generate motivation and motivate us to keep making progress.Don't blindly think that you can't do it, or that you have no chance, and you have lost your chance.It is human effort, as long as there is effort, there will be gains.We need to be sober, open-minded, and deep, but if we go too far, we will lose motivation, opportunities, and goals.What is the goal, where is it, and is it feasible.You can't just rely on your own judgment, you must determine the standard from the perspective of everyone.It’s not good to aim too high, once you can’t realize it, it will reduce your vigor.It’s not okay to be too realistic. It violates common sense and loses its meaning.

A comfortable environment can stifle human creativity.If you are at ease, you will develop the bad habit of greedy for enjoyment.Forget, or simply don't know the joy of creation.Enduring hardships and difficulties can hone one's will and ability.Enduring hardships and hardships are profound and let people experience the real life. When something happens, find the reason from yourself.Being able to understand this way and find out the reasons will allow us to quickly get out of the shadow of failure and overcome difficulties with a peaceful mind.The road ahead is still very long, I believe there must be beautiful scenery worth looking forward to.
