Once the best-selling T-shirt in Japan was printed with: We are the first! The best-selling T-shirt in America says: Not up to standard, enough to be proud.
Unfortunately, some people still find it funny. We think this is very sad, and it undoubtedly shows a negative mentality. Why? Because people wearing those American T-shirts may have just lost their jobs. Moreover, if the applicant holds this attitude, even if he doesn't wear that T-shirt, the employer is unlikely to hire him.
"Not only job hunting, but also life". A piece of information provided by writer and speaker Hailey shows this point. Harry once pointed out that legal immigrants are four times more likely to become millionaires than native Americans. And whether it is black, white or people of any race, whether it is male or female, there is no exception. The following story illustrates this truth:1992 July 10, Friday, 2: 48 pm. There are four strange guests on American Airlines Flight 874. They are a mother and three little girls. This may be their first time to fly. The mother walked ahead, holding the child in one hand and the baby in the other. They walked quickly in the direction of the tail.
Another child about four years old walked behind, a few steps behind. As soon as she boarded the plane, she noticed a waiter preparing lunch in front of her. She stopped in the aisle, bent her legs, put her hands on her knees, and looked intently at the two waiters who moved the lunch box quickly for a long time. Then slowly turned his head and looked at the left engine room. As you can see, she is very interested in what she sees-three people in uniform with a few bars on their shoulders. In front of her are two control levers, two wheels, countless lights and many electronic instruments that she has never seen before.
She stared at it for a long time, then slowly turned her head, her blue eyes wide and round. A long mountain peak appeared in front of her, and all the seats were empty at the same time. She can see the tail from her nose at a glance. When she looked through the long aisle, two words popped out of her mouth: "My God!" " "This is exactly what legal immigrants said when they came to the United States. Everything in front of them really makes them unbelievable. In most cases, what they see is unimaginable beauty, and luxury and opportunities are everywhere.
They said, "Oh, my God!" Face everything with a positive attitude. They looked at countless advertisements in the newspaper in surprise, and then applied for jobs non-stop. They know they earn the minimum wage, but the minimum wage in the United States is already the highest compared with other countries. Typical immigrants try to live simply and cheaply, and find two jobs if necessary. They work very hard, spend very frugally and save all their money.
In front of them are opportunities to live, work, grow and seek success in the most powerful country in the world. Without exception, almost everyone sincerely thanks the United States and the opportunities it provides.
Solomon put it well, that is, "diligent people will get rich." The biggest difference between millionaires and ordinary people is whether they have an attitude of hard work. With this mentality, you will work hard.
Immigrants are four times more likely to become millionaires than non-immigrants, because they all come to the United States with a kind of hope, excitement and gratitude.
Unfortunately, many Americans get up in the morning and look around. He didn't say, "Oh, my God!" Instead, he disdained to spit out: "What's the big deal! "I want to have a free lunch or get rich overnight. All right! My friend, I want to tell you here that such an attitude towards life really can't be a big deal in this country.
Anthony Robbins, the top potential master, wants us to keep the mentality of a four-year-old girl or thousands of immigrants at once and say, "Oh, my God!" Not only that, he also pointed out that applying this mentality to our lives will surely enrich our lives infinitely.
A positive attitude is an effective psychological tool. If you think you can develop your potential, it can make you hallucinate, so you can get what you want. Sports stars are like this.
A world shooting champion raised his bow and locked his eyes on the bull's eye 30 yards away. At this moment, there is no distraction, and nothing can attract his attention except the red heart. He tightened the string, stared at the target, calmly and quickly scanned his physical and psychological state, and if he felt something was wrong, he put down his bow, relaxed and pulled again. If everything is checked correctly, he only needs to aim at the bull's-eye, let the arrow fly safely, and he is confident to hit the red heart.
Whether this calm self-confidence and full state are only available to sports superstars is not entirely true. Only in this best competitive mentality can sports stars win. When he is in a bad mood, he will sweep away his usual prestige and lose to a little-known junior. Similarly, even ordinary athletes, at their best, may achieve amazing results and beat those stars who are in poor condition. In fact, everyone has this mentality, and you may have some experiences that you don't know.
In a way, we are all shooters and want to hit the goal in life. Suppose we exercise the muscular nervous system and hit the bull's eye. Why can't it be like this every time? What the hell is going on here? We haven't changed. It should be the same as before. How can I be happy and sad for a while? Why even the first-class athletes failed to score a goal and hit it for several days after mastering it? The difference is that we have different mentality. When you are in a positive state (that is, a positive attitude), you are confident, self-loving, strong, happy and excited, so that your ability can flow out. When you are paralyzed (that is, in a negative mental state), you will feel suspicious, depressed, afraid, anxious, sad and depressed, which makes you feel powerless. That's it. Every one of us goes in and out between good and bad. Have you ever been into a restaurant? The waitress said impatiently, "What do you want?" Experience? Do you think she has always been like this? It is possible that her life is difficult to produce this attitude; But it is more likely that she was busy greeting guests all day, plus several guests didn't tip. In fact, she is not a bad person, just depressed. If you can change her mentality, you can change her attitude.
Anthony robbins told us that our mental and physical state can be said to be the result of millions of nerve activities in the nervous system. These activities are the process in which various sensory organs process the measured external data in the brain. We don't know how most physical and mental states occur, because when we receive all kinds of things, we will immediately produce a relative state, which may be passive or positive, but most people don't know how to control the occurrence of these states.
Have you ever had such an experience? Suddenly can't remember the name of a familiar friend? Or did you forget the strokes of a word for a moment? Why is this happening? You know the name of that friend and how to write that word, but you can't remember it at that time. Are you stupid? Of course not, that's just that you were in a stupid state.
The difference between good and bad things lies not in ability, but in the state of mind (that is, mentality) at that time. You can have the courage and perseverance of MCA Collins, the elegance of Fred Astaire, the physical strength and endurance of Nolan Raine, and the intelligence and wisdom of Einstein. However, if your body and mind are always in a "low" state, you will never be able to reach your potential. If you know the mystery of how to get into a positive state, you will certainly achieve unexpected results.
At any moment, your cognition is subject to the state at that time, and then your cognition will affect your subsequent thoughts and practices. In other words, what kind of behavior you will have has nothing to do with your ability, but with your mental and physical state at that time. Therefore, if you want to change your ability to do things, then change your state of mind and body at that time, so that you can exert your unlimited potential and make amazing achievements.
Second, mentality determines the success or failure of life.
In fact, our mentality largely determines the success or failure of our life:
1. Life treats us as we treat life.
As we treat others, others will treat us.
Our mentality at the beginning of a task determines how successful we will eventually be, which is more important than any other factor.
The higher a person's position in any important organization, the more he can find the best mentality.
No wonder some people say that our environment-psychological, emotional and spiritual-is entirely created by our own mentality.
There are two mentalities. A positive attitude can exert its potential and attract wealth, success, happiness and health, while a negative attitude can repel these things and take away everything in life. It makes people trapped in the bottom of the valley all their lives, and even if they climb to the top of the mountain, they will be dragged down by it.
Positive mentality is characterized by self-confidence, hope, honesty, love and sureness, while negative mentality is characterized by pessimism, disappointment, inferiority and deception.
A positive person was trapped by the flood and had to climb to the roof. Someone came up nearby and said, "John, this flood is terrible, isn't it?" John replied, "No, it's not that bad." The neighbor was a little surprised and retorted, "why didn't you say it wasn't that bad?" Your henhouse was washed away. " John replied, "Yes, I know, but all the ducks I raised six months ago are swimming nearby." "But, John, this water has damaged your crops." Neighbors insist. John still said indomitable, "No! My crops were damaged because of lack of water. Just last week, my agent told me that my land needed more water, so it was all settled. " The pessimistic neighbor said to his smiling friend, "But look, John, the flood is still rising and will soon reach your window." The optimistic friend smiled more brightly and said, I hope so. These windows are really dirty and need cleaning. "It's a joke, but it also has a sense of humor. Obviously, John has decided to deal with all kinds of situations with a positive attitude. According to the encyclopedia, mental state is a mental state or attitude taken to achieve a certain goal.
After a period of time, even if you encounter a negative situation, it can make your mind automatically respond positively. To achieve this state, you must enrich your mind with a lot of good, clean and powerful information, and even keep this state at any time.
It can be seen that the key to success lies in mentality.
A positive attitude helps to develop a person's potential.
Molari, the world champion, did just that. As early as his youth, when he watched the Olympic Games on TV, his heart was full of dreams, dreaming of upcoming interesting things. 1984 An opportunity has emerged. He became the best swimmer in the world in the event he was good at, but only won the runner-up in the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and his imagination and dream did not come true.
He returned to his dream, to the swimming pool, and began to train in imagery and practice. The goal this time is 1988 Olympic gold medal in Seoul, South Korea. His dream was shattered in the Olympic qualifiers, and he was eliminated.
Like most people, he became depressed. Bury this dream in your heart and go to Cornell for law school. For three years, he seldom swam. But there is always a flame in his heart, and he can't restrain this desire.
Less than a year before the summer competition of 1992, he decided to put all his eggs in one basket again. In this young man's swimming competition, he is an old man, just like modern Don Quixote poking a windmill with a spear. The idea of winning the 100-foot butterfly is simply stupid.
It was also a sad and difficult time for him, because his mother died of cancer.
She will not be able to share the fruits of victory with him, but the spirit of mourning for her mother has strengthened his determination and will.
Surprisingly, he not only became a member of the American team, but also won the preliminaries.
His record is more than one second behind the world record, and he is bound to create miracles in the competition.
Strengthen imagination, increase image training and persist in training. He carefully planned the schedule in his mind. In less than a minute, he could watch the game carefully from beginning to end as clear as crystal. His speed will be ahead, and he hopes that he can surpass his competitors and lead all the way.
Conceiving the itinerary in advance, he began to swim. On that day, he really stood on the podium, watching the Stars and Stripes rising, the Stars and Stripes ringing and a proud gold medal hanging around his neck. With a positive attitude, Morari turned his dream into a victory and his dream came true.
Shirley Beavey is also a typical example of exerting her potential with a positive attitude.
When Shirley Beaver was ten years old, she was told that she could never walk again. At the age of 22, she walked on the runway as 1980 Miss America.
Shirley, Miss America in 1980, was involved in a car accident at the age of 1 1. Her left leg was crushed and she had 100 stitches. The doctor told her that she could never walk again. After recovery, her injured left leg was much shorter than her healthy right leg.
However, a few years later, at an exciting Christian spiritual meeting, she saw that her left leg "immediately grew two inches"! She said that she had walked through "the miracle of God". But another similar miracle is her positive attitude.
Shirley can sit down and give up-many people do. Then where did she get such a beautiful attitude? An accident before the car accident directly affected her view of life. At the age of five, a milkman looked at her in a small grocery store and told her that she would become Miss America in the future. Shirley believed in him, and it was from such a positive and powerful idea that a positive attitude was born, and Miss America of 1980 was also born.
In this regard, Anthony Robbins warned us that words are the most magical power in the world. Positive words full of love, hope and encouragement can often lift a person to a higher level. In short, negative words with disappointment and resentment can also destroy a person. So be careful of your mentality.
Third, negative mentality limits people's potential.
There are the following types of negative mentality:
(1) cynical, think that human nature is ugly, often associate with people, so lack of harmony;
Without goals and motivation, life is like drifting in the sea;
Lack of perseverance, lack of self-discipline, laziness, always making excuses for yourself to avoid responsibility;
I am lucky, dreaming of getting rich, unwilling to pay, just seeking something for nothing;
⑤ Stubbornness, intolerance, lack of credibility and poor social relations;
6 inferiority and cowardice, self-withdrawal, dare not believe in their own potential, refused to believe in their own wisdom;
⑦ Or profligate, or stingy and greedy, and have no pertinent views on money;
8 arrogant and vain, arrogant, like to manipulate others, like power games, can not share with others;
Pet-name ruby hypocrisy, bad faith, cheat others, cheat others is good.
Don't underestimate these nine negative attitudes, which will limit your potential and make a mess of your life and career.
Not only that, a negative attitude will make people lose sight of the hope of the future, and then lose motivation, and even destroy people's confidence and make hope disappear. A negative attitude is like a chronic poison. People who take this medicine will gradually become depressed, lose any motivation, and succeed farther and farther away from people who use negative mentality.
The story of a horse race proves this point.
John Greer is a famous thoroughbred racehorse. It has achieved good results in many horse races. In July 1902, she was considered as the seed player. In fact, there is a good chance of winning. It is carefully cared for, trained and advertised as the only person who can get a chance to beat the horse racing "fighter" who dominates at any time.
1902 Two horses finally met in the DeVille Prize Championship held by Aquatech in July.
It was a very solemn day and everyone was paying attention to the starting point. When the horses ran side by side along the track, it was obvious that Greer was fighting to the death with the "fighter". After running 1/4 distance, they are regardless of height, running half distance and running 3/4 distance, but still regardless of height. Only 1/8 is left, and they still seem to go hand in hand. However, at this moment, "Greer" rushed forward and ran to the front.
At this time, it is a critical moment for the "fighter" rider. For the first time in his horse racing career, he kept beating his mount with a whip. The fighter responded that the rider seemed to be setting fire to its tail. It rushed to the front, pulling away from Greer, who seemed to stand there quietly. At the end of the game, the boxer was seven lengths ahead of Greer.
"Greer" was originally a horse with high spirits and great potential. But this experience beat it. Turn its invisible symbol from PMA (positive mentality) to NMA (negative mentality), and then it is negative, pessimistic and destructive. Later, it just dealt with it in all competitions and didn't win again in the end.
Although people are not racehorses, there are many people with Greer spirit. Like Greer, they had brilliant moments under the guidance of PMA, but when they encountered setbacks, their amulet turned from PMA to NMA. They were pessimistic and disappointed, and could not see the dawn of hope, and they were defeated from then on.
People who hold NMA are always disappointed in the future. In their eyes, the cup is never half full, but half empty, so the potential can never be exerted.
People with negative mentality will not only think of the worst side of the outside world, but also think of their own worst side. They dare not ask for it, so they often get less. When they come across a new idea, their reaction is often: "This is not feasible. This is unprecedented.
Don't you live well without this idea? We can't risk it. The conditions are not ripe now, which is not our responsibility. It is said that King Solomon is the most wise ruler in history. In Proverbs 23: 7, Solomon said, "He is what he thinks." In other words, people believe that there will be any result, and there may be any result. It is impossible for a person to achieve what he does not pursue. If a person doesn't believe in what he can achieve, he won't strive for it. When a person with a negative attitude doesn't expect much of himself, he will lose his ability to succeed with a bang. He became the biggest enemy of his potential.
In a word, NMA is the root of failure, decadence and negativity. Try to curb this undercurrent and don't let your wrong mentality make you a loser.
Anthony Robbins said it well The key to success in developing potential lies in our mentality. If we have a positive attitude, we can enter a vigorous state at will, be optimistic, confident, energetic and sharp-minded, and you will get everything you want. Of course, if you are decadent and negative, you will never see the potential master of life, so you will miss success.
