任何时候,主宰自己命运的永远都是自己,而不是别人,所以执著首先需要一种好心境。正如汽车大王亨利·福特曾经说过一句话:“你相信你能,或是你不能,你都是对的。”
如果有人说你是一位打工仔,据此你就一直怀有一种打工者的心态去工作、生活,甚至去审视周围的人与事,那么你的思考格局与承担的责任,常常会局限于打工范围内,从而你也只能做打工仔的事,得到打工仔的薪水。一个优秀的人,重要的不是他有做大事的魄力,而在于他的内心对自己执著的事物的坦然心境,不会让自己变得浮躁,更不会把自己局限于某种狭隘的思维框架中。
许多年前,有一位年轻人离开故乡,开始到外面开创自己的事业。他起身拜访的第一个人就是本族的族长,请求他给自己事业上一些指点。老族长是个传统而保守的人,他习惯于过平静、安逸的生活,听说年轻人要独自到外面闯事业,一时有些不理解:“好好的日子不过,乱折腾什么呀?”
年轻人把自己的想法说给老族长听,老族长还是无奈地摇了摇头,然后就送给他一句话:“不行,就趁早回来吧。”
过了20年,年轻人事业小有成就,但是也品尝了许多人生苦果。其中,他始终没有放弃开创自己的事业。虽然老族长德高望重,但是,这位年轻人却始终能以一种平和的心境去面对这位“权威”,去执著于自己的事业。
在一些浮躁的职场,只有这种心境才能创造优秀与卓越。在一个人的职业生涯中,通向成功的路绝不只是一条,不同的人可以选择不同的路,成功与否,往往不在于对道路的选择,而在于一旦选定了自己的路,便不再彷徨。
所以,任何一位成功者在追求自己的事业时,首先都会让自己的心态进入一种宁静祥和的境界。一次,一位著名的推销大师即将告别他的推销生涯,为此,他要举行一次特别的告别职业生涯的演说。
那天会场正中央的铁架上吊着一个巨大的铁球。推销大师在人们热烈的掌声中走到了铁架的一边。人们惊奇地望着他,不知道他要做出什么举动。
这时两位工作人员抬着一个大铁锤走上台,并邀请两位身体强壮的人走到台上。这时,推销大师开口和他们讲规则——请他们用这个大铁锤去敲打那个吊着的铁球,直到让它摇荡起来。
一个年轻人拉开架势,抡起大锤,全力向那吊着的铁球砸去,一声震耳的响声过后,那吊球一动也没动。他就用大铁锤接二连三地砸向吊球,很快他就气喘吁吁;另一个人也不甘示弱,接过大铁锤把吊球打得叮当响,可是铁球仍旧一动不动。
会场恢复了平静,推销大师从上衣口袋里掏出一个小锤,然后认真地面对着那个巨大的铁球。他用小锤对着铁球“咚”敲了一下,然后停顿一下,再一次用小锤“咚”敲了一下。人们奇怪地看着,推销师就那样“咚”敲一下,然后停顿一下,就这样持续地做。
10分钟过去了,20分钟过去了,会场早已开始骚动,有的人干脆叫骂起来,人们用各种声音和动作发泄着他们的不满。推销大师仍用小锤不停地工作着,好像根本没有听见人们在喊叫什么。人们开始愤然离去,留下来的人也都喊累了,会场上的人越来越少。
大概在推销大师进行到40分钟的时候,坐在前面的一个人突然尖叫一声:“球动了!”会场立即鸦雀无声,人们聚精会神地看着那个铁球。那球以很小的摆幅动了起来,不仔细看很难察觉。推销大师仍旧一次一次地敲着,人们好像都听到了那小锤敲打吊球的声响。
推销大师开口讲话了,他只说了一句话:在成功的道路上,你没有耐心去等待成功的到来,那么,你只好用一生的耐心去面对失败。也许这位推销大师更想说的是,失败并不可怕,可怕的是浮躁的心理,这是造就一切恶果的根源。
Allow when to be awaited, him dictate of the destiny it is oneself forever, is not others, so clinging need place of a kind of good intention above all. Ford of · of Henry of king of car of no less than once had said a word: "You believe you can, or it is you cannot, you are right. You are right..
If someone says you are a young worker, accordingly you go with respect to the state of mind that has a kind of person that work all the time the job, life, go examining the person all round and issue even, so your reflection pattern and assumed responsibility, be confined to of bureau of constant regular meeting works inside limits, thereby the thing that you also can do a young worker only, get the young worker's pay. An outstanding person, important is not he has the daring and resolution that becomes a major issue, and the calm mood of the thing with the clinging to oneself heart that depends on him, won't let oneself become blundering, won't plant him confine at some more in narrow thinking frame.
A lot of before New Year, a youth leaves home, begin to start oneself career to the outside. He rises the first person that visit is this a group of things with common features patriarchal, request him to give him the career on a few give directions. Old patriarchal it is a tradition and stick-in-the-mud, he has been used to quiet, easy and comfortable life, hear the youth wants to enter a career to the outside alone, temporarily some do not understand: "Well the time does not pass, random do sth over and over again what? Random do sth over and over again what??
The youth says his think of a way old patriarchal listen, old patriarchal shake his head helplessly still, send him a word next: "Be no good, come back before it is too late. Come back before it is too late..
Passed 20 years, youth enterprise is small successful, but also sampled a lot of life a bitter pill to swallow. Among them, he did not abandon starting his career from beginning to end. Although old patriarchal sainted, but, this youth can face this however from beginning to end with a kind of gentle mood " authoritative " , go clinging the career at oneself.
In a few blundering duty, creation of ability of this kind of mood is only outstanding with outstanding. In the professional career of a person, leading to successful path is not merely absolutely, different person can choose different way, successful, often do not depend on choosing to viatic, and once,depend on make choice of oneself road, hesitate no longer.
So, when an any person that succeed are pursueing his career, the state of mind that can let oneself above all enters a kind of halcyon and auspicious state. , promote a Great Master famously to be about to leave his promote career, for this, he should be held leave particularly the speech of professional career.
The hob hang oneself of assembly room midpoint was worn that day a tremendous iron ball. Promoted a Great Master to walk along hob in the applause with enthusiastic people at the same time. People is looking him amazedly, do not know he wants to make what move.
At this moment two staff members are carrying an about-sledge is on a stage, invite two people with strong body to go to the stage. At this moment, promote Great Master mouth and them to say regulation -- the iron ball that asks them to beat that condole to wear with this about-sledge, until let its rock rise.
A youth pulls open manner, brandish removes sledge, the iron ball that aing string of 1 to that with all one's strength is bungled, after the noise of ear of one sonic boom passes, that punching ball also was not moved easily. He strikes at punching ball with ground of about-sledge in quick succession, very fast he is breathless; Another person is unwilling also give the impression of weakness, had received about-sledge to hit punching ball clangorously, but iron ball remains the same motionless.
The assembly room restored calm, promote a Great Master to draw out a little weight from jacket pocket, facing that tremendous iron ball seriously next. He uses little weight to iron ball " Dong " knocked, next halt, use little weight again " Dong " knocked. People is looked at strangely, promote division in that way " Dong " knock, next halt, do continuously so.
10 minutes went, 20 minutes went, the assembly room begins disturbance already, some people are flat shout curses rises, people is abreacting with all sorts of sound and movement their dissatisfaction. Promote a Great Master to still keep working with little weight, seem to did not hear people is in at all vociferant what. People begins to leave in anger, the person that stay also cries tired, the person on the assembly room is less and less.
Be in probably when promoting a Great Master to undertake, a person that takes in front screams suddenly: "The ball was moved! " the assembly room nots even a crow or sparrow can be heard instantly, people looks at that iron ball sedulously. That ball was moved with very small amplitude rise, look not carefully to be aware of very hard. Promote a Great Master to remain the same the ground is being knocked, people seemed to hear Na Xiaochui to knock the sound of punching ball.
Promoted Great Master mouth to speak, he said a word only: On successful path, you await successful arrival without patience, so, you are forced to face failure with the patience of lifetime. Perhaps this promotes a Great Master to think those who say is more, failure is not terrible, terrible is blundering psychology, this is the germ that brings up all evil consequence.
