I recently watched a TED speech video called "How to Achieve the Goals You Set?" 》
After reading it, I was in awe of the speaker Steve.
Because his unlimited life is so cool! ! !
From kindergarten to his junior year, he always got C grades.
By breaking down his goals to help him focus, he fought back and became a straight-A student. students and become outstanding students on the school's honor list.
He taught himself German, obtained a racing driver's license, learned to fly a helicopter, rock climbing, skydiving, unicycle riding, parkour, soft rope walking, stilt walking, and drumming...
He went from not knowing how to knit to winning the Guinness Book of World Records for knitting his own creations.
……
Listing every achieved goal is enough to kill everyone instantly!
During a meeting a few days ago, my leader said that modern society is relatively impetuous, so everyone, whether rich or not, lacks a sense of happiness.
It is true that when you are in a state of exhaustion from work, what you need most at the moment is to temporarily slow down, take a rest, and move on.
But when I opened my circle of friends, I suddenly came across an article telling you that "The times have abandoned you without even saying goodbye" and "Your peers are abandoning you"... Suddenly, one after another Anxiety sets in.
You are afraid of becoming the person who lags behind the times in the eyes of everyone. You are afraid of being left behind by your friends of the same age.
Have you begun to wonder if you are really incapable? Is it really not as good as others? Is there really no chance for promotion? Is there really no possibility of change? ...
Looking around me, I seem to be the only one who is the most depressed, so I give up on myself and say: This world is not worth it.
But is the reality really as unbearable as you imagined? Perhaps, this is just me making excuses for my inaction and setting artificial limits without thinking.
Apart from work, do you really have no time or opportunity to pursue your dreams, learn new things, and try a new life?
Absolutely not! ! It can be said that in the Internet age, there is no skill that cannot be learned! As long as you want!
Do you want to pursue your music dream? Can! There are a large number of musical instrument instruction videos on the Internet. As long as you keep practicing, it is completely feasible to master at least one instrument.
I want to learn to compose songs, is that possible? Can! There are many music editing and arranging software on the Internet. As long as you want, you can compose and create your own music.
I want to learn English, is that okay? Can! Looking through the courses on the market now, English courses are the most popular ones! A large number of online courses have emerged, lowering the learning threshold for ordinary people in terms of cost and increasing learning opportunities!
It can be said that there is no lack of resources and opportunities at all. The key is to see if you have the mentality to learn, as well as continuous self-discipline and determination to complete.
What you want to learn is never something you say verbally. I am also a lazy person. I used to sleep in class, and when I wasn’t at work, I would go out to hang out with friends, or just watch TV shows and variety shows when I had nothing to do.
But when I realized one day that this lifestyle left me with no fun and no motivation, I suddenly realized that I had wasted so much time.
I am simply an escaper from life, rather than an active explorer. This kind of completely unconscious self-exile life seems very comfortable and arbitrary on the surface, but in fact it will be very empty when you think about it.
The reason why I was attracted to the speaker in the TED video was because of his positive attitude towards life.
People like him who constantly explore the possibilities of life are so cool. People like him don’t have time to mourn. Don’t live your life too wonderfully!
There is a synonym for no limit, that is, no boundaries.
Last year, when a reporter from Caijing magazine interviewed Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan, he said: Too many people focus on the boundaries and not on the core.
The three words "borderless" he mentioned made many Internet and traditional industry practitioners feel fear and recognition.
Because the emergence of a sense of "borderless" awareness means that the business scope of an enterprise can be infinitely expanded and innovated. For Meituan, this is the confidence that it can conquer the market all the way.
The same is true when we return to everyone’s life. Why should you worry about what kind of person you are? Why do you think you are the only one who can do one thing? Why not explore, learn, and create? You know, even things like eating, drinking and having fun can only be fun if you have to explore and experience them endlessly. If director Chen Xiaoqing hadn't been discovering new recipes and new stories when it comes to food, how could we have been drooling while watching "A Bite of China"!
If you are only allowed to play one kind of game and eat one kind of food, you will be bored to death sooner or later!
I imagined that if a person mastered 2 new skills every year, such as learning guitar and learning to ski.
Calculated over 50 years, it can open up 100 possibilities for life, right? When I think about it this way, I feel that life is very interesting. It would be such a waste not to give it a try! ! !
