In fact,I think it might even be stronger and more accurate to say that most people are downright 完全fearful of what they see going on around them.Technological change and innovation are completely altering many aspects of our lives and it doesn’t stop.Economic changes,social changes,scientific changes,political changes,the least is endless.However,the big question we all face is how are we going to respond to these changes.Well,the specific answer is about what to do,take time(从容进行) and thought to uncover.The best way to approach the future and all of the changes it will bring can be summed up in one word:confidence.
Personal confidence is one of the greatest assets we all possess.Certainly,some people seem to have much more of it than others.But I believe that confidence is a skill that we can all develop.In some ways,it is undoubtedly the most important skill we can develop.With confidence,all things are within the realm of possibility.Without confidence,even the smallest challenges seem insurmountable.What I find fancinating is that people with confidence always seem to end up on top（成功，在上面）.They seem to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way.It's as if problems and challenges run from the person who has confidence.I think what’s so difficult for most people is the belief that confidence has to be based on having a specific solution at hand.But that's just not true.What we all respect and admire is the person who can stand up against overwhelming difficulities and persevere without an answer.
Here’s the secret that most people never get.Life’s challenges are no match for 不是对手the person with unstoppable confidence.Well,the problems or challenges might seem too big to be overcome.The person with confidence always finds a way to win regardless of the circumstances.Ultimately,life’s challenges run and hide from the person that maintains confidence.This is a hard lesson to learn.The problems of life seem so big and scary and we often think of ourselves so small and fragile.But that’s not the way it is.That’s the illusion that most people buy into but it’s not the trurh.The truth is that we are bigger than anything that can ever happen to us in life.We have the power and ability to overcome any obstacle in our path.
And the most important tool we possess is personal confidence.Believing our ability to overcome the current challenge just like we have done so many times in the past.Whatever challenge is currently in your life,know that it’s there to help you grow and expand.Use the problems you encounter to help you build your personal confidence.Remember you won’t have the problem if you didn’t have the power to overcome it.Expanding your personal confidence will allow you to take on whatever you need to in order to fulfill your personal mission任务. |
2009年07月20日 星期一 下午 2:26 Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not!
You don't have to suffer needlessly不必要的. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it.
Guess what her lifestyle is?
She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle ensues.
Huh?!? Is this what she calls "doing her best?"
She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for打算送给 her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.
Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting尽力 the effort to live the life of our dreams.
You reap what you sow.
You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone and get your mind and body to work!
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Our time will come." or "Things will get better some day."
Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback挫折; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to resolve the problem.
It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You got to do anything you can to save the person.
So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best.
Don't just stand there, just move on. |
2009年07月20日 星期一 上午 10:16 It's good to make mistake, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't".Look around you.With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected使完美 the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded, Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn't mean that you should forge ahead向前迈进 with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary正好相反，when you try something new you have to be willing to乐于 set some reasonable limits so that in the event that在……情况下 it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resources in the form of 以什么的形势 time and money so don't blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn,modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old axiom that goes, "If you're not making mistakes,you're not trying hard enough."
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper. |
