The so-called Dugan's Law means that a person believes that he can and has the ability to complete various tasks, cope with various events, and then achieve predetermined goals. This is a sign of a person's self-confidence and a prerequisite for success.
This law originated from a view of D. Dugan, the former chairman of the American Football Conference. He once put forward this saying: "The strong may not be the winner, and victory will belong to those who are confident sooner or later." In other words, if you only accept the best, what you get in the end is often the best, provided that you Gotta have confidence.
This psychological law reminds us: the value of life will have different meanings in different environments. Only when you value yourself can life burst out with unique meaning and value. And if a person despises himself, others will undoubtedly despise you even more.
Cole, known as the "ugly lawyer", used his own experience to interpret this law.
Cole is a female lawyer who has won lawsuits for countless clients with her profound knowledge, sharp eloquence and aggressive momentum. When people lament her excellent reputation in the industry, they admire her even more. It's her superhuman courage and self-confidence. Yes, Cole's success is based on his strong confidence.
One day after Cole entered middle school, he accidentally discovered several tiny round white spots on his chin. Since she didn't feel any discomfort, she didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, a week later, the white spots formed into patches. The anxious parents immediately took her to the hospital for examination. The doctor told them that this was just a minor problem and could be cured by applying some symptomatic ointments.
However, to everyone's expectation, her condition became more serious within a month, and Cole also underwent terrible changes: first his long golden hair turned into It turned gray and white, and kept falling off in large quantities. Then the right eye tilted downward, the nose twisted to the right, and the right corner of the mouth turned up. Cole's beautiful face was completely distorted and distorted.
The result of seeking medical treatment again was that she suffered from a rare progressive hemifacial atrophy. The condition will become increasingly severe as the patient ages, and her facial features will gradually shrink until they disappear completely. , or even the entire face will become a hole due to shrinkage. The most frightening thing is that this disease currently has no cure and is considered a terminal illness.
Cole felt renewed hope when he heard that the disease, although terrifying, was not life-threatening. She thought that since she had the same right to life as others, she must prove the value and significance of her existence through hard work and struggle. From then on, Cole began his own struggle despite many strange looks and many kinds of ridicule.
At that time, Cole was often insulted and ridiculed by some classmates because of his appearance. Some boys would deliberately imitate her distorted face; some classmates even called her insulting nicknames such as "Crooked Nose" and "Pulsatilla". The most terrifying thing is not these, but that no one is willing to sit at the same table with her - she is ruthlessly isolated from the crowd like a virus. However, in the face of all this, Cole faced it calmly with amazing self-confidence and endurance. In the end, she passed the university with excellent results.
However, after entering the university campus, she was still a "monster" in the eyes of her classmates. No one was willing to approach her. Some students even publicly protested and asked the school to expel her because the school admitted her. . Faced with all this, Cole chose to endure it silently and move forward alone.
In a social psychology class, the teacher asked the students to discuss their ideals. When it was Cole's turn to speak, a boy laughed and said that Cole's dream must be plastic surgery. Unexpectedly, Cole told him quite seriously: "You are wrong. Plastic surgery cannot change the disabilities and defects on my face. My ideal is to become a lawyer."
Her words attracted more attention. Many classmates laughed at him, but Cole still said seriously and firmly: "I want to be a lawyer to help those poor victims and the unfortunate people with disabilities who have been discriminated against by others." As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned. The classmates were silent. Cole is a person who keeps her word. After graduating from college, through unremitting efforts, she obtained the professional lawyer qualification certificate.
Today, Cole, who stands calmly in court to defend her client, has become accustomed to people's looks of surprise or fear, because she knows that what matters is not the appearance, but the inside of a person.
As she said: "One day my face may disappear, but as long as my life is still there, I will continue to prove that the beauty of your appearance is not important, what is important is the confidence and strength in your life."
Cole used his own personal experience to prove the importance of self-confidence in success. Just as the British scholar Herbert said: "As long as your heart is full of confidence, there is nothing you can't do. Skill and confidence are an invincible army."
The reason why self-confidence is important is because It contains elements of psychological suggestion. A person who keeps telling himself "I can do it" will form a good psychological suggestion deep in his heart, be confident when doing things, and then easily achieve success.
On the contrary, if a person always doubts himself and always asks himself: "Can I do it well? Do I have this ability?" As a result, such negative psychological hints will quietly subliminally It reminds you that you are not qualified for the job, causing you to lack confidence, and ultimately causing you to encounter great resistance at work or in life.
If a person wants to succeed, he must first improve his psychological quality and first believe from his heart that he can do it, so that he can be fearless. Of course, as the saying goes, "There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains." In real life, we cannot always be the strongest one. However, if you lose confidence because of this, then you will also lose the motivation to work hard. . On the contrary, once a person believes in himself, his or her heart will become stronger. He or she will inevitably take destiny into their own hands, and then rely on this self-confidence to promote life and create miracles.
Believe that as long as you want to do many things in the world, believe that you can succeed, and work hard for it, you can basically do it. And for those contemptuous or malicious, mocking gossip, you might as well ignore it. Tell yourself bravely: "You can definitely do it, you can persevere to the end, you are no worse than others." Such people, sooner or later, will always create their own brilliance due to their strong self-confidence.
