Without a goal in life, there is no hope and motivation.
The film classmates of the great director Spielberg all like to watch Jurassic Park and so on. At the age of 36, he became the most successful producer in the world. Of the top ten blockbuster movies in film history, he personally accounted for four. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, he once visited a film studio. After that, he secretly set a goal to make the best movie. The next day, he came to the studio again, wearing a suit and carrying his father's briefcase, which contained a sandwich. He pretended to be an adult, fooled the guards and came to the factory. Then I found an abandoned trolley and spelled the words "Steven Allan Spielberg" and "Director" on the door with a piece of plastic letters. Then he spent the whole summer vacation getting to know directors, screenwriters and so on, and was busy demanding himself with the director's life every day. Learning, observing and thinking from talking with people, he finally became a formal film director at the age of 20 and began his great career as a director. Here, we can see how he set his own goals and fought for them.
Goals and ideals are not adults' business. If you make up your mind at an early age and work hard to realize them, you will have superhuman strength.
The better your car is, the faster your horse is, and the farther away you are from your real goal.
Goal setting is a science, and it also needs to be learned, otherwise it will lead to the wrong goal.
A passenger sitting in the car saw an empty car crashing illegally next to him and complained, "An empty car doesn't carry passengers. It's like running so fast."
The driver who was driving gave him a look and said, "In fact, our drivers all say that it is because the car is empty that it is easy to have an accident!" " "Empty drivers are always looking around because they are eager to find guests, so they can't drive safely. Moreover, we have guests, although the speed is relatively fast, but the heart is practical, just go to the destination. "
With a goal, there is a direction.
One hot summer, a group of people were working on the railway. A train came slowly from a distance and stopped at the front pavilion. An old man got off the train and shouted to a worker at work, "David, is that you?" . The worker named David looked up, gave him a look and said, "Oh, President, it's you. It's me, David. They chatted for a while and the train left. David's colleagues immediately praised David. " You know our president. ".David smiled. Yes, we are. We waved picks together on this railway. ""Oh, how did he become president with so much power? " A young man asked. David pondered for a while and replied, "Twenty-three years ago, my salary was 1 hour. He worked for this railway. "
The difference between ideals becomes the difference between reality. The level of goals determines the difference in life.
A 63-year-old man walked from new york to Miami, Florida. After a long journey and overcoming many difficulties, she finally reached her destination. A reporter interviewed her. The reporter wants to know what made the 60-year-old man walk the whole journey. The old man replied, "It doesn't take courage to take a step." That's what I did. I'll go first, then one step, then one step, and that's it. I'm coming.
Similarly, our Athens Olympic design champion said, "Of course I want to win the championship, but when I get to the stadium, I only know how to hit every bullet with one shot." In this way, I won the championship. "
It takes courage and perseverance to achieve the goal.
A flea can jump out of a glass bottle, jump high and put it in a short glass bottle. After a period of time, it has become accustomed to the height of the glass bottle, so it will not jump out easily. This is because it changes the target height.
Custom is a second nature. Don't be blinded by the status quo.
A magnifying glass is under the sun, focusing the sunlight on a newspaper, and a newspaper can be lit in a short time. This is the power of concentration. If you are half-hearted, you will never order a newspaper again after moving around for a while.
Vague and vague goals are equal to no goals.
American writer O Henry told a story in his novel The Last Leaf: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window from his room and fell down one by one in the autumn wind. The patient looked at the rustling leaves in front of him and his health went from bad to worse. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die." When an old painter learned about it, he drew a leaf with green veins with a colored pen and hung it on a branch. The last leaf never fell. Because of the green color in life, the patient miraculously survived.
The saddest thing about people living in this world is that there is no hope. Without hope, there is no goal. Leave a leaf for your life.
A young man went to Microsoft to apply for a job, but the company didn't advertise for a job. Seeing the general manager puzzled, the young man explained in broken English that he was passing by and rushed in. The general manager thought it was very new, so he made an exception and let him try it. The interview result was unexpected, and the young people performed poorly. His explanation to the general manager was that he had not prepared in advance. The general manager thought he was just looking for an excuse to go down the stairs, so he casually replied, "Try again when you are ready." A week later, the young man walked into the door of Microsoft again, and this time he failed. But compared with the first time, his performance is much better. The general manager gave him the same answer as last time: "Try again when you are ready." In this way, the young man stepped into the door of Microsoft five times and was finally hired by the company, becoming the key training object of the company.
The process of achieving the goal is difficult. Many people are unsuccessful not because they have no goals, but because they lack the perseverance and courage to "try again".
There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy the right ticket. But no matter the distance, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat. His method is actually very simple, that is, patiently looking for one car after another. This method doesn't sound brilliant, but it does work. Every time he is going to walk from the first car to the last car, but he doesn't have to walk to the end every time. He will find an empty seat. He said that this is because not many passengers are so persistent in finding seats. Often there are some seats left in the carriage where he sits, but at the junction of the aisles and carriages of other carriages, it is actually very crowded. He said that most passengers are easily confused by the superficial phenomenon of one or two cars being crowded and will not think about it. In dozens of stations, there are many opportunities to provide seats in the flow of people from more than a dozen doors of the train. Even if I thought about it, I didn't have the patience to find it
Most people are easily satisfied with a small foothold in front of them, and some people think it is not cost-effective to squeeze one or two seats with their bags on their backs. They are also worried that if they can't find a seat, they won't even have a place to stand back. Just like some people who are content with the status quo and afraid of failure, they can only stay at the starting point without success. Most of these passengers who are unwilling to take the initiative to find seats can only stand in the initial position when they get on the bus until they get off.
Different goals will bring different results. Is your goal to stand forever?
Once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's garden, about 40 cm wide and 10 cm high. People who go to the vegetable garden will accidentally kick the big stone, either falling or scratching. The son asked, "Dad, why don't you dig up that disgusting stone?"
Dad replied, "You mean that stone? It has been put into the present since your grandfather's time. It is so big that I don't know when it will be dug. It is better to walk carefully and exercise your reaction ability. "
After a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation. At that time, my son married a daughter-in-law and became a father.
One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the big stones in the vegetable garden are making me uncomfortable more and more. Please ask someone to move another day. "
Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is heavy. If I could move, I moved when I was a child. How can I stay until now? "
Daughter-in-law's heart is very bad I don't know how many times that big stone made her fall.
One morning, the daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.
10 minutes later, the daughter-in-law used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone. Daughter-in-law has been psychologically prepared and may have to dig for a day. No one expected that the stone would be dug up in a few minutes. Look at the size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by its huge appearance.
The success of many things is not impossible, but unexpected. Remove the stone from your heart first, and then set a goal.
The famous national marketing guru is about to bid farewell to its marketing career. At the invitation of trade associations and all walks of life, he will deliver a farewell speech at the largest gymnasium in the city. On that day, the venue was packed, and people were anxiously waiting for the greatest salesman of our time to give a wonderful speech. When the curtain slowly opened, a huge iron ball hung in the center of the stage. For this iron ball, a high iron frame was set up on the stage. An old man came out and stood on the side of the iron shelf in the warm applause of people. He is wearing a red tracksuit and white rubber shoes under his feet. People looked at him in surprise, wondering what he was going to do. At this time, two workers, carrying a big hammer, put it in front of the old man. The host then said to the audience: Please invite two strongmen to take the stage. Many young people stood up, and in a blink of an eye, two of them quickly ran to the stage.
The old man then told them the rules and asked them to beat the hanging iron ball with this big hammer until it swung. A young man grabbed the hammer, tore himself apart, swung the sledgehammer and threw it at the hanging iron ball with all his strength. There was a deafening noise and the ball hung still. He hit the ball with a sledgehammer one after another, and soon he was out of breath. The other man, not showing weakness, picked up a sledgehammer and jingled the hanging iron ball, but the iron ball remained motionless. The shouting gradually disappeared from the audience, and the audience seemed to feel useless, just waiting for the old man to explain. Quietly returned to the venue, the old man took out a small hammer from his coat pocket, and then seriously faced the huge iron ball. He struck the iron ball with a small hammer, then paused and struck it again with a small hammer. People looked at it strangely. The old man just "knocked", then paused and continued to do it. Ten minutes have passed, and twenty minutes have passed, and the venue has already begun to stir. Some people simply shout and curse, and people vent their dissatisfaction with various voices and actions. The old man is still working with a hammer. He doesn't seem to hear what people are shouting at all. People began to leave angrily, and there were a lot of vacancies at the meeting. The people who stayed seemed tired of shouting, and the meeting gradually quieted down. After the old man continued talking for about forty minutes, a lady sitting in front suddenly screamed, "The ball has moved!" " "When it was time to brake, the venue was immediately silent, and people looked at the iron ball with rapt attention. The ball swings slightly, so it's hard to detect it without looking carefully. The old man is still hammering, and people seem to hear the sound of a hammer hitting the ball. Hanging the ball in the old man's hammering, swinging higher and higher. It pulls the iron shelf "moo, moo", and its great power strongly shocks everyone present. Finally, a burst of warm applause broke out on the field. With applause, the old man turned around and slowly put the small hammer into his pocket. The old man spoke. He only said one sentence: on the way to success, you have no patience to wait for success, so you should spend your whole life patiently facing failure.
Many children are envious of the glory of winning the Olympic diving championship, but who can see them repeat the boring movements thousands of times without applause?
In Aesop's Fables, there is a story in which mice have a meeting to discuss how to avoid being caught by cats. One of the mice suggested hanging a bell around the cat's neck. All the mice cheered and shouted-"What a great idea!" But when a mouse asked how to hang a bell around the cat's neck, all the mice were silent for a while.
Just because you think about it doesn't mean you can do it Just thinking about not doing it is tantamount to daydreaming.

However, when he leaned over to hit the ball, the fly flew back to the cue ball, and he got up again to drive away the fly in the laughter of the audience. This annoying fly began to ruin his mood. To make matters worse, it seemed that the fly was deliberately targeting him. As soon as he returned to the table, it flew back to the main ball, which made the surrounding audience laugh. Louis fox was in such a bad mood that he finally lost his mind and hit the fly angrily with a club. The cue hit the cue ball and the referee ordered him to hit the ball, so he missed a chance.

You have to beat yourself, not flies. Never exaggerate your objective factors.
One day, a little caterpillar met a locust while crawling towards the sun. The caterpillar told him to go to the top of the mountain to see the whole valley, because he had such a dream last night. The locust was surprised and said, "Are you crazy? For you, the stone is the mountain and the puddle is the sea! " The caterpillar ignored it and walked away slowly. The caterpillar met dung beetles again on the road. After hearing the reason, dung beetles smiled and said, "I have strong legs and feet, and I have never been so arrogant." Despite being laughed at, the caterpillar went on. Later, spiders, moles, frogs and flowers advised the caterpillar to give up the idea in a similar way. But the caterpillar keeps climbing. Finally, it felt exhausted and dying. It stopped and used up its last strength.
Built a resting place-pupa. All the animals came to admire the caterpillar's remains. Its pupa has become a monument to the courage to realize dreams. One day, the caterpillar's shell-like pupa suddenly cracked and a beautiful butterfly appeared in front of everyone. Finally, the beautiful butterfly flew to the top of the mountain, and the reborn caterpillar finally realized its dream!
Goals are your motivation. No goal is the most tiring time.
Spring has arrived, the gentle wind is blowing this sleeping land, and everything begins to recover. At this time, two seeds woke up, and they were lying in fertile soil looking forward to their future.
The first seed said, "I must work hard to grow!" " I want to take root and let life thrive in the soil! I want to' get ahead' and let the stems and leaves sway with the wind to celebrate the arrival of spring! I also want to bloom beautiful flowers and bear rich fruits, add a refreshing fragrance to this land and provide intoxicating fruits for people. In this way, I can feel the warmth of spring shining on my face, and I can also feel the joy of falling petals in the morning dew and the joy of mature life! "
The second seed frowned and said trembling, "I'm not as brave as you!" " If I take root down, I may encounter hard stones; If I drill hard, I may hurt my fragile stem; If I grow buds, I won't be eaten by snails; If I bloom beautiful flowers, I am afraid that the children will uproot me when they see them; If I bear fruit, I'm afraid I'll be secretly picked by people who get it for nothing. I'd better wait until the situation is safer before making plans! "So it continued to curl up in the soil that it thought was very safe. A few days later, a hen was foraging in the yard, and it quietly entered the hen's stomach. The first seed has been growing hard, during which it was injured, frozen, cried, laughed, trampled and bitten by snails. But it has never forgotten its lofty dream. Whenever the cold night strikes and everything is silent, it will feel an irresistible loneliness and desolation from time to time, but it always says to itself over and over again: "I can't give up, and I won't give up!" "Because I have a dream!" Finally, one day, it grew up, with delicate flowers and countless fruits. It smiled and was very happy!
Success lies not in birth, but in goal.
In the fields, the fresh wind is blowing slowly. In front of your eyes is a cornfield full of fruits, and at the same time, there is a cornfield with countless traps, large and small.
Today, you will cross it.
You and your opponent are going to have an interesting game: see who crosses the cornfield first to reach the mysterious destination, and at the same time, he has the most corn in his hand.
In other words, you have to cross the cornfield faster than others, have more corn in your hand, and keep yourself safe at all times-these are the three survival factors of the cornfield game: speed, efficiency and safety.
You can make more than 10000 choices, and even a clever mathematician can't work out the best ratio-maybe there is no such formula in the world. Different states will produce different results, and each best way will change due to changes in objective environment and conditions. The process of crossing the cornfield is the process of entrepreneurial decision-making, and N choices will produce N operating states and results.
The charm of crossing is here. Why did you cross the cornfield?
When you start a new competition in life and turn over a new page in your career, have you ever seriously faced this problem? Is this question really that important?
One year, a group of high-spirited children graduated from Harvard University in the United States, and they were about to start crossing their cornfields. Their intelligence, education and environmental conditions are similar. Before leaving school, Harvard investigated their life goals. The result is this:
27% people have no goals;
60% people have vague goals;
10% people have clear but relatively short-term goals;
3% people have clear long-term goals.
For the next 25 years, they crossed the corn fields.
Twenty-five years later, Harvard conducted a follow-up survey on this group of students again. The result is this:
3% of the people, in the past 25 years, they have made unremitting efforts in one direction, and almost all of them have become successful people in all walks of life, including industry leaders and social elites.
65,438+00% people have achieved their short-term goals and become professionals in various fields, most of whom live in the upper and middle classes of society.
60% people live and work in peace and contentment, with no special achievements, and almost all of them live in the middle and lower classes of society.
The remaining 27% people have no goals in life, and their lives are very unsatisfactory. They often complain that others, society and the world "refuse to give them opportunities".
In fact, the only difference between them is that 25 years ago, some of them knew why they crossed the cornfield, some didn't know or were not very clear.
The importance of goals to success and a person's life has been clearly stated in the above story.
Two days ago, a friend asked me if I had heard of "0- 1 equation triangle", and I said no.
So he found a piece of paper and wrote down the equations of these two triangles:
1
0+0=0
1+ 1=2
0+0+0=0
1+ 1+ 1=3
0+0+0+0=0
1+ 1+ 1+ 1=4
0+0+0+0+0=0
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1=5
0+0+0+0+0+0+ 1= 1
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1=6
0+0+0+0+0+0+ 1+0= 1
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+0=6
0+0+0+0+0+0+ 1+0+0= 1
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+0+ 1=7
0+0+0+0+0+0+ 1+0+0+0= 1
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+0+ 1+ 1=8
0+0+0+0+0+0+ 1+0+0+0+0= 1
1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+ 1+0+ 1+ 1+ 1=9
He handed me the newspaper. I only took one look and said grumpily, "You are so boring. Of course, 0+0 equals 0. Adding it to the dark is still equal to 0, 1+ 1 = 2, which even a 3-year-old child knows! " I glanced at him. "Boring people do these shameless things. You don't want me to be Chen Jingrun, Hua, engage in mathematics and then engage in Goldbach conjecture, do you? " I casually threw him the note. He just smiled, then handed me the note and said, "Look carefully, don't treat it as a simple mathematical equation."
I looked at it and still couldn't figure out the mystery, so I shook my head and said, "I still don't understand, just say it!" " "
He smiled again. "In fact, this is very simple. I remind you that the number 0 on the left of the equal sign represents fantasy, 1 represents hard work, and the number on the right of the equal sign represents your possible future achievements or status. I haven't seen you for several days. Why are you so pedantic? "
Nine dreams are not worth one action. When the goal is set, go and achieve it!
