At the beginning of the 20th century, James, a famous American scholar, pointed out that an ordinary person only used 65,438+00% of his ability, and 90% of his potential remained unused. Later, psychologist margaret mead found that everyone only used 6% of his ability, and 94% of his potential was not used. Current research shows that the memory capacity of a normal person's brain is about 600 million books, which is equivalent to 654.38+0.2 times that of a large computer. If human beings give full play to their half potential, they can easily learn 40 languages, memorize a whole set of encyclopedias and get 12 doctoral degrees. When people's potential is not fully exerted, it is often considered as a shortcoming. Only by fully demonstrating one's potential can one show one's talents.
An extremely accidental factor, eagle eggs and eggs are mixed together and hatched by a hen, so there is an eagle in the hatched chicken. The baby eagle grew up with a chicken, so he didn't know what he would become except a chicken. At first it was satisfied and lived like a chicken. But when it grows up, it has a strange and uneasy feeling inside.
Until one day, an eagle flew over the chicken farm. The baby eagle felt a strange new force on its wings and its heart was beating violently. When he looked up at the eagle, an idea came to his mind: "A chicken farm is not where I stay. I want to fly to the blue sky and perch on the rocks. " It has never flown, but it has strength and nature in its heart. It spread its wings and flew to a low mountain top. Extremely excited, it flew to the top of a higher mountain and finally rushed into the blue sky. At the top of the mountain, it found its great self.
Although this is only a fable, it gives us great enlightenment: don't think that you can't be a soaring eagle, don't think that you are just an ordinary person, and don't think that you can't be a great event. As long as you can find your own talent, so can you.
There is such a person who changed his life by exerting his talents. He is Phil Qiang Sen from America. Phil Qiang Sen's father opened a laundry, and he asked his son to work in it, hoping that he could take over the laundry in the future. But Phil hates laundry work, so he is always lazy and listless, only doing what he should do and ignoring other jobs. Sometimes, he is simply "absent". His father was very sad and thought that he had raised a heartless son and didn't want to talk about it. He felt humiliated in front of the employees.
One day, Phil told his father that he wanted to do a job in machinery-work in a machinery factory. What? Everything has to start from scratch again? The old man was very surprised. However, Phil insisted on his opinion. He wears greasy coarse overalls, works harder than the laundry and works longer hours, but he enjoys it and whistles at work. He studied engineering courses, studied engines and installed machines. 1944 When he died, he was the president of Boeing Aircraft Company. He built the "Battlestar" bomber and helped the Allies win the world war. If he stays in the laundry, what will happen to him and the laundry, especially after his father dies? Perhaps, the whole laundry will be in a mess and eventually go bankrupt.
