when the external pressure increases, the internal motivation should be enhanced. Life just needs some such inspirational words and articles to accompany us along the way. Let's take a look at the three inspirational American articles I have carefully recommended for you, hoping to help you.
Life didn't start too late.
There was a brother who was always lazy. After graduation, he changed jobs and had no skills, so he had to run a business.
Yesterday, he called me and told me that he didn't want to go on like this. Now he has resigned and is ready to learn a skill in a down-to-earth way. Turn over a new leaf .
I'm frightened. What's wrong with you bitch?
He said that he felt that he was 31 years old and was still doing so badly, so he wanted to call his former brothers one by one and tell everyone that he wanted to change.
when he contacted a high school classmate, he asked him what his current phone number was on qq, and the other person replied: What do you want to sell or borrow money?
after seeing this sentence, he stopped talking, wanted to cry for a long time, and then remembered me, thinking that I was a person who would not give up my brother.
This brother told me that he had been afraid of change all these years, and he thought what to do if he failed after the change, so he mixed up to 31 years old.
After listening to this sentence, I immediately swore, which are you fucking afraid of change and failure? You are simply lazy! You are a diaosi. If you fail, what can you lose if you become a diaosi again?
He was silent for a while and began to laugh wildly. When the laughter stopped, come with me. You'd better tell me the truth every time and hit the nail on the head. It seems that I dialed the right number.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm telling the truth. He has been lazy for so many years, frequently changing places and jobs, and has no core competitiveness, let alone any savings. If this continues, it will be a problem to find a wife.
At the end of the call, I asked him, do you know Grandma Moses? It is the American who started painting in his seventies and then became particularly awesome. It is said that the famous Junichi Watanabe was encouraged by her to give up medicine and become a writer.
he said, I know, this man is very powerful.
I said to him in a slightly low voice, yes, I want to send you a sentence, which is the title of her book-life doesn't start too late.
After hanging up the phone, I thought of myself. People often ask me, why do you teach English as a law student? With poor writing skills, people are almost thirty, so why start writing again?
In fact, everything in life must be like what it is, or it must be bad. Except for the fact that everyone will die, no one knows what he will become in the future.
We can only make what we think is right at that stage and then take action.
when I want to teach English, I will study hard and teach hard, and I will definitely get a lot of exercise.
When I want to practice my speech, I will keep practicing and consult with experts, and my speaking ability will definitely be improved.
although the writing is not good, the article has no literary talent, but what? I'm trying my best to express what I want to express. As long as I keep writing, sooner or later, I will break through, even if I can't be brilliant, it's better than now.
if you do, you can change a little. If you don't do it, you will never be able to do anything.
I received some messages recently, all of which have similar meanings, that is, what I want to be this year and what I want to be, but I can't do all kinds of things now. What should I do?
To tell the truth, I have to say sorry to these readers. It pains me to see your messages like this.
what can you do? What you can do is to solve the immediate survival problem first, and then use the time when you are staring blankly at your mobile phone and playing games to improve yourself!
I'm not saying that your idea is unrealistic. Everyone who strives to realize his ideal deserves to be understood and respected.
but did you do it?
Maybe you've thought about it for half a year before you told me, and you've told many people what you think.
but did you do it?
everyone has ideas and can talk big, but how many people can stick to their actions?
Don't ask what to do. No one can give you the right answer. In fact, you know what you should do, but you just delay doing it.
Conclusion
Life doesn't start too late, but you have to start!
A more inspiring essay: What is natural luck?
These days, many friends came to exchange their experiences in writing articles with me. I started writing articles on the Internet two months ago, and the second article was lucky enough to get a hot search in Weibo, and it was forwarded over 111,111. Later, I wrote some articles with a wide range of forwarding one after another. A few days ago, an article was clicked over one million only in a WeChat official account. I'm lucky. So many people came to ask me, do you have any experience?
I really can't say anything. Talk about it, that is? Content is king? And? Lucky? These two sentences.
actually, there's something I haven't said. For example, when others saw that I had written for just two months, they got 21 thousand attention. Only I knew that I had written for more than two months. I received the first sample magazine in 2116. Up to now, it's been almost ten years since I was at the very most. Over the years, the sample magazines I have received have piled up all over the shelves. When I came home for the Spring Festival this year, I tried to put the new sample magazine in, but I found it couldn't fit in.
However, just like I would seal the sample magazine on the bookshelf in the corner, I have always been afraid to talk about being a writer. If relatives and friends ask, I just say that I wrote it for fun. In fact, I write very seriously, but I don't want to mention this seriousness. Because I was afraid of being asked about my pen name, the other party shook his head blankly and said that he had never heard of it. In the past ten years, I have changed several pen names one after another, hiding in an unknown corner and writing words that nobody cares about.
when friends know that I am writing, they often ask:? Have you ever published a book? Sorry, no. I want to write a long story, and editor A said to me: You are not famous, so if you want to write, we can only let you ghostwrite for a famous author. ? I refused.
Later, I published a series of articles in a magazine, and editor B made a long appointment with me. Every day, I think about the early hours of the morning, and after several drafts, I finally gave her a detailed character design and outline, but she never mentioned it to me again. The matter was put on hold.
I came up with a collection of my own short stories and sent more than a dozen articles to editor C. C. said to me:? You don't have enough fans, so we should consider it carefully. ? On second thought, there was no news for half a year. After a long time, I asked her again, and I learned that she had been hanging my manuscript and had not sent it for trial.
A friend I met because of writing became popular. One day, it suddenly occurred to me that he used to take selfies in his circle of friends every day and seemed to have disappeared. I entered his head curiously, and found that there was no news in it, only a light gray horizontal line, just like a rest. Only then did I know that he had blocked me or deleted my friends.
I can't describe the cold shoulder experience in a few words. But to be honest, even if I hit a wall from time to time, I never thought about stopping writing.
Actually, I am a pragmatic person, even a little utilitarian. But for words, I have extraordinary patience. I dare not say? Ten years is like one day? However, in the past few years, even if I knew how to write again, I couldn't get rid of the fate of small transparency. Even if I knew that I could spend my writing time doing something more cost-effective, I never thought about giving up.
In the most impressive high school days, I rented a house near the school, and my academic pressure was heavy. Naturally, no one supported me to write, so I wrote secretly. At that time, I didn't have a laptop, so I borrowed a computer from my best friend and rode to the study room of a nearby university in the bitter winter wind. One person wrote for a whole day. Listening to the faint sound when the keyboard is knocked, I will have a sense of satisfaction.
I record the stories in my life anytime, anywhere. Even if most of them don't turn out to be material in the end, what kind of life records will there be now? Oh! I've been through something like this before? Wonderful feelings.
in the long years of obscurity, I have persisted until now with a dull love. If I am lucky to get 21 thousand attention in two months, maybe not many people will envy me if I stretch the front to ten years.
I met a disabled person in Taiwan Province last year. He opened a restaurant in a sparsely populated mountain. From the beginning, no one cared about it, and now it is popular, and many scholars admire him for visiting. The reporter's long gun and short gun rack stood in front of him and asked him how he made this legendary brand. He said this: just do it, and do it for a long time.
Everyone envies his luck, and he has only opened a restaurant for a few years and has attracted much attention. Who knew that in the initial stage, everything had to be done by him, a disabled person with limited mobility, and even the toilet had to be cleaned by himself. He specially photographed the toilet that he had cleaned as clean as new with his mobile phone and projected it on the screen. When sharing the meeting, he said cheerfully: Hard, but not hard! ? I can't believe my nose is sore.
I also met a director who is about to retire. I was deeply impressed by two words he said. He said:? If you like something, just play it for a lifetime, and that's right. ? He also said:? Be patient and persistent. ? Whenever I think of this, I always feel a surge of emotion. His words are comfort and encouragement to everyone who pursues dreams.
in my cloud disk, there is a folder called? Heroic dream? . It contains all the words I have written, including those who have been hired and those who have been rejected.
Duras has a saying? Love to me is not a close relative of the skin, not a vegetable and a meal. It is an immortal desire and a heroic dream in a tired life.
I regard writing as a heroic dream in my tired life. It used to be a little dream hidden in the bookcase, but now it is a little dream subscribed by a small group of people. Even if it is only such a small achievement, I feel very lucky. Because there must be many people who work harder than me in this world, but they get little attention.
I have a good friend who published his first book at the age of 19, which can be said to be a lucky dog. But few people know that she finished writing a book on the subway to and from work as an intern.
I have a favorite author. A few years ago, she was an auditor in an accounting firm. She was busy with her work, but she kept on writing. Sometimes there was no seat on the subway, so she stood and typed with her computer.
such a person, favored by fate, is also expected.
I saw an interview with a friend. At that time, his team won a gold medal in a national competition. The interviewer asked them why they achieved such good results. What did they attribute to? Lucky? . So, the interviewer wrote this passage? Luck has always been a courtesy of the strong. Behind every lucky person, there are stories that have nothing to do with luck.
I admire those people who have made achievements through hard work, but are willing to attribute them to luck. They rarely send some self-pity and comfort content in their circle of friends, and they have no resentment. They often do things silently, but they never take credit for themselves. None of them will conquer the arrogance of heaven, and they will always hold a grateful and humble mood towards life. Even if there is natural luck, only such people can afford such luck.
there is a saying that you can only look effortless if you work hard enough. And I want to say that you only have a chance to have good luck if you work hard enough.
A more inspiring essay: You are just trying to cover up your laziness with diligence.
Probably because you graduated from a good school and started a business that is actually hard but looks tall to outsiders, people often learn from me on the Internet and in reality.
Xiao A is my neighbor. He just graduated for two years and worked in an Internet company. Recently, something made him angry: a colleague who joined the company at the same time just got a promotion, but in Xiao A's view, it should be him in any way.
? I'm the first to arrive at the company every day, and almost always the last to leave, and he leaves with a pinch every day. In terms of diligence, I dumped him a few blocks. As far as personal ability is concerned, I am definitely not worse than him. Why didn't the boss see this and promoted him instead?
Xiao A is a very good young man, who can make him feel so angry. Obviously, in his mind, he feels that his colleague is quite different from himself.
Coincidentally, a relative and aunt have been particularly upset recently. Her children are about to enter the third year of high school and face the college entrance examination. Children study very hard, almost every day until eleven or twelve o'clock, but their grades just can't keep up. Even some students who were not as good as him and were far less diligent have surpassed him.
There are many such examples in our life: obviously, we have made more efforts than others, but others just don't seem to see it, even God doesn't see it, and we don't give it back.
the help of people around me made me start thinking about this strange phenomenon, and finally I really found the reason. I don't want to discuss it here? Diligence? With? The result? The philosophical relationship between them, but let me think, what is it? Diligence? Is the real diligence.
what I have found is that most people's diligence tends to become a mere formality, and they are easy to be narcissistic? I'm making progress? The illusion, but neglected to do those things that really help self-improvement.
to put it mildly, these people are actually using diligence to cover up their laziness.
You are an overtime dog. You arrive at the company at 7: 31 every day and work until 6: 11 in the afternoon. Go out for a box lunch, go back to the company and then go home at eleven o'clock in the evening.
it's hard work, but it's not hard work.
You get up early every morning to run, read and meditate. You live a full life every day, looking down at all the people around you, feeling that you are the only one who is outstanding and dazzling.
You are an ambitious child, but this is not diligence.
most people's understanding of diligence only superficially stays on this superficial sense of ceremony, ignoring the essential meaning of diligence. What's even more frightening is that once you get used to this process, it's easy to get satisfaction from it. Finally, when you find that you haven't got the reward you deserve, you start to complain and feel that heaven is unfair.
what is a superficial understanding of diligence?
Do one thing repeatedly, but lack thinking.
doing one thing for a long time, but lacking in thinking.
the above two kinds are the most common misunderstandings of diligence, and they are also the essential reasons why most diligent but mediocre people fall into the development dilemma.
It is not difficult to do things repeatedly and for a long time. Most people can do it as long as the conditions are met. The hard part is actually thinking.
After working for about 3 years, I gained a lot of weight because of too much social work. When I graduated from college, it was almost more than 111 kilograms, but it was almost 151 kilograms at the peak.
