Greatness is made, you have to achieve yourself.
Even if you don't want to pursue everyone's admiration for you, you should strive to achieve yourself and be your own great man. Buddhism speaks faith, wishes and deeds, and believing in yourself is half the battle. Will is the goal, you must act. No vest, you need your own perseverance and hard work. The great spirit of "Going out laughing, are our generation masters?"
We will inspire ourselves with the deeds of great men, but greatness is not given by heaven. It takes a lot of failures and efforts to get it. The hardships and hardships are unimaginable, and not everyone can stand the hardships and tempering. Therefore, great talents are admirable and desirable.
It is believed that only people with extraordinary talents can achieve greatness. Indeed, having extraordinary talents is a shortcut to greatness, such as Newton and Einstein, who are all talented scientists. But talent is only one of the conditions they have, and more importantly, their love for science and persistent spirit. Madame Curie, a great female scientist, engaged in research under extremely difficult conditions and made great contributions to the cause of science, for which she won the Nobel Prize. Madame Curie is the only female scientist who has won the Nobel Prize twice so far. The famous Madame Curie didn't notice the halo on her head. She was indifferent to fame and fortune, gave medals as toys to her daughter, and devoted herself to science. Such a person is great, not only because of her contribution, but also because she has a great soul, great spirit and great faith.
Father Dharma said: "Sludge can produce lotus flowers, which is also good soil. Cold doors can cultivate filial sons, ovens can exercise steel, difficulties can make great men, hardships can brew sweetness, and troubles can be turned into bodhi. "
If enemies and difficulties are demons that hinder our progress, then faith is a weapon to subdue and get rid of demons. Any fence is afraid of the digger's knife and shovel. As long as your strength is not exhausted, you can completely tear it down, and then you will see the whole clear sky.
Don't be afraid of difficulties and obstacles, be brave in struggle and try your best to strive for greatness and success. Without sacrifice and hard work, it is difficult to achieve anything. When the results obtained through hard work are in front of us, we will feel excited and excited from the heart.
Master Jian Zhen was a native of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in the Tang Dynasty. He widely read classics and preached Buddhism, which was highly respected by the local people. Rong Rui and Pu Zhao, two Japanese monks, have long admired the reputation of Master Jian Zhen. They specially crossed the sea to ask the master to go to Japan to preach Dharma, and the master readily agreed. None of the disciples agreed to go for fear of any accident. He said, "Why cherish life for great things!" Master Jian Zhen failed to cross the East several times. He was stranded on an island in the sea for two years, and he was blind. At this time, the more he felt that the cause of promoting Buddhism overseas was "Who is it?" , so more frustrated, make persistent efforts.
After 12 years' efforts, Master Jian Zhen finally completed the eastward voyage on his sixth voyage, spreading China's profound Buddhist thoughts to Japan, greatly promoting the development of Japanese Buddhism, and the name of Master Jian Zhen was also circulated in Japan for generations.
The road to success is usually difficult, and success will not be easily obtained. The bitterness in life is disappointing and tears; Years of hard work make people old. It is good to practice Buddhism and Zen and achieve life. Without indomitable will, it is difficult to cope with all kinds of hardships. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in Lu Yu, we must get rid of the difficulties and overcome the obstacles with our will. It is precisely because success is hard-won that it will be more precious. Everyone should remember that "success after sacrifice and commitment is exciting." Maybe you don't have extraordinary intelligence, maybe you have some defects, but these can't be obstacles to your success. As long as you persist and be patient, you will be able to tide over the difficulties and achieve success.
People have a pair of feet that can wade through mountains and rivers, and a pair of hands that can grasp branches and stones. Although it is difficult to walk, as long as we have perseverance, determination and courage to shoulder our responsibilities, do our best for our cause, struggle for life and go all out to protect everything we love, we will not feel lonely and miserable.
On the road of life, I try to play a role, don't waste this life, and look back at what I want, want and like in the future. Although I didn't do it, I don't regret it, because I tried my best. This is to achieve your greatness. Sometimes greatness is not only to make great achievements to make the world admire and admire, but also to make yourself a great man. Maybe we can't stand on the top of the world, but we can stand on our own life path with a great attitude.

Success is born of difficulties and pressures.
People will encounter great and small hardships and misfortunes all their lives, and no matter who they are, they can't escape the trick of fate. However, it is these hardships and misfortunes that forge our character, increase our wisdom, make us realize the true meaning of life and help us succeed in our career. This is just as Sakyamuni Buddha said: "All Buddhas regard suffering as a good teacher for three generations."
A life without pain is a boring life. Happiness without pain is boring and cheap. The symphony of life can only be a complete cadence with a painful bass. If a person's life is too smooth, it is unfortunate. Frustration is our great teacher. It is also the most precious wealth. It will make people think of a ladder rope instead of a desperate situation when they meet a cliff.
As the saying goes, "success has suffered many hardships since ancient times." In the process of our struggle for our career, we will inevitably be hurt by setbacks and jealousy. Jealousy is a corrosive agent, which can ruin a career or a person's life's future, but it is also a catalyst, which can also provide us with opportunities for success. Monk Jian Zhen in the Tang Dynasty suffered a lot, and was framed for spreading Buddhism to Japan, but he finally succeeded in crossing the east for the sixth time. Master Xuanzang went through a lot of hardships not far from Wan Li, and finally got back the scriptures from Tianzhu.
Frustration is like adversity, and adversity is sometimes the gateway to success. The Buddha said, "Adversity is an advantage." British scholar beveridge once said: "People's best work is often done in adversity, and ideological pressure and even physical pain may become spiritual motivation." Frustration is a big test of life, and being kind to setbacks is the ladder of our success. This is just as Balzac said: "Adversity is a stepping stone to genius, the baptism water for believers, the priceless treasure of capable people and the bottomless abyss for the weak."
Grignard, the famous inventor of Grignard reagent, idled around when he was young. At a banquet, a countess rudely accused him of saying, "Please go away. I hate a playboy like you blocking people's sight. " This sentence made grignard lose face and deeply hurt his heart, but grignard did not sink, but said goodbye to his parents and went to Lyon to study hard. During his study, grignard became interested in chemistry. After thousands of arduous experiments, he finally invented an important chemical reagent. In view of his great contribution to science, the Science Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on 192 1. Shortly after the news came out, grignard received a congratulatory letter from the countess, which read "I love you forever".
"When you hit a stone with water, you will have a sound. When people are excited, they will be grand." I remember the French writer Montland once said, "It is a great thing to succeed in the contempt of others, because it proves that you not only beat yourself, but also beat others. "Turning pressure into motivation and challenges into opportunities is the character of a willing person. The real strong can see the rainbow from the lightning storm. The great philosopher Bacon said: "Miracles are often born of bad luck. "
Success is the result of the pursuit of struggle, but success is not necessarily under the brilliant aura, but more under the dim light. One autumn night, Thales, an ancient Greek philosopher, was walking home, looking up at the clear starry sky and thinking. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the air and fell into a deep pit on the side of the road. Because the pit was too deep, he couldn't climb out, so he had to wait and call for help. When passers-by pulled him out of the pit, Thales endured the pain and said the first thing was "It will rain tomorrow". Passers-by laughed and sarcastically said, "You can't even do the underground road well. When are you still studying? "
At that time, Thales was already a great astrometeorologist, but many of his views were not accepted by any era. But the next day, it really rained cats and dogs. Two thousand years later, German scientist Hegel famously said, "Only those who lie in the pit forever and don't look up at the sky will not fall into the pit."
The song of scientific struggle is not poetic, and many amazing discoveries and great ideas are flowers that are difficult to bloom in thorns. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The first monkey to stand up will be killed by his companions. Creative things are often rejected, suppressed or even temporarily killed because they are different from the old things people are used to. But in the end, more monkeys stand up, and those monkeys who bite their companions will crawl underground forever. "
The golden grain of success is filtered out from the failed sand master, and the flash of truth will appear brighter under the background of fallacy. At the entrance of science, like the entrance of hell, the road to success is always bumpy and difficult. Almost all human inventions have been realized after countless pains and failures. Many successful people have the experience of crawling in the dark, and sometimes they are lonely and helpless. Like a tenacious snail crawling on a narrow path, they finally saw the light, and from a hopeless darkness, they gave birth to success and a brand-new era. Newton, a great scientist, told us: "Successful people often persist until the last five minutes."
Every struggler is eager for success, but not everyone can succeed. Struggle may fail, but no struggle will never succeed. Failure and success are mixed, and pain and joy exist. This is a universal truth. Former US President Lincoln once said, "I thought about success and failure, but I never thought about giving up." The key to success is to believe in yourself and try. In a sense, hitting the rocks is not necessarily a warrior, and failure is not necessarily a hero.
In our life struggle, failure will often happen. The ancients said, "Failure is the mother of success." Astronomer Kaeppler said, "Failure is the first step on the road to brilliant fantasy." Smile to meet the failure, and take the success in the competition lightly. The winner will always belong to those who have experienced countless failures. I remember a successful person said, "If you don't have the patience to wait for success on the road of life, then you should spend your whole life patiently facing failure."
Every failure is a footprint to success, and every wrong discovery will lead us to the right path. There are no insurmountable mountains in the world, only temporary setbacks and failures. But as long as we dare to persist and sum up experience and lessons, successful paving stones will guide us how to move forward. If you can regard strength as a seed, then continuing to struggle is a vast fertile ground for its growth. Edison said: "The most obvious sign of great people is that they all have strong will."
Helen, an American educator, once said, "When a person feels that there is a force that pushes you to soar, you should never crawl." Dickens, a famous British writer, once said a famous saying: "Perseverance can conquer any mountain in the world."
Inspirational Journal Chapter 3:
The key to personal time management
A person's achievement depends on what he has done in 24 hours. The focus of time management lies in how to allocate time, in doing the most effective thing every minute, and in achieving more goals in a shorter time.
Now, let's learn ten keys to personal time management:
1, the first key: have a clear goal.
First of all, make clear everyone's goals! Now, please take out your paper and pen and write down your specific goals on this paper.
Without a clear goal, time can't be managed.
The purpose of time management is to enable you to achieve more goals you want to achieve in a shorter time. We all know that success equals goals, so the more clearly you set goals, the better your personal time management will be.
2. the second key: you must have a "personal list"
You must make a list of what you want to do this year. Now make a list of every goal you want to achieve, not only the main goal, but also some small goals to achieve, so make a list of them.
When you have a "personal list", the next thing you have to do is to cut your goals. For example, what must I accomplish in the first half of this year in order to achieve every goal this year? The next step is to cut it into quarterly goals. List all the things I need to do this season, so that I can introduce what I need to do every month.
Suppose you can't have a "personal list" for the whole year, then at least from now on, you must have a "monthly list" every month. Of course, we all know that the plan for the day is not in the morning, but last night, so we should make a list of things to do the next day the night before. Remember, you never have time to do everything, but you always have time to do the most important things for you.
When you make a list, put your priorities in order and set a deadline for completion, and then you are on the road to success.
3. The third key: that is, the familiar law of 28, or the law of 80-20.
If you want to manage your personal time well, you must know what is most important to you, and you give it the highest productivity. If you don't know these things, your personal time management will never be very good. So you must spend the most time doing that every day.
Personally, I will make a list of things to do the next day, divide these things into small time periods, and let myself master the time 100%.
Another point is to use the power of vision. Procrastination is usually the cause of poor personal time management. When "act now" is put in front of you and you can see it clearly, it will stimulate your subconscious mind, enter your mind and force you to act immediately. So you should put a big word "act now" in front of your desk.
To manage your personal time well, you must have a clear and detailed plan. The more detailed the plan and the easier it is to manage, the easier it will be for you to succeed.
4. The fourth key: there should be at least half an hour to 1 hour of "uninterrupted time" every day.
If you can have 1 hour without any interference, shut yourself in your room, start thinking about something, or do something that you think is most important, this 1 hour can be equal to your 1 day work efficiency, and sometimes this 1 hour is even better than your three-day work efficiency. So remember, the uninterrupted time should be at least 30 minutes, preferably almost 60 minutes, which is 1 hour.
It's best to set an undisturbed time when you get up, from 5 to 6 o'clock. At this time, your mind is very clear and will exert very, very great power. If you can't do it at this time, there is still time to try, that is, noon. Or between 3 pm and 4 pm. I set up my own personal time management when I came home at night.
5. The fifth key: Your goals and your values should be consistent and not contradictory.
You must establish your personal values. If your values are not clear, it is difficult for you to know what is most important to you. When values are not clear, your time allocation must be bad. So you must find a time to define your values. What's the most important thing for you? Health, career, family and friends should be well distributed.
Remember, the focus of time management is not on managing time, but on how to allocate time.
6. The sixth key: sit still for an hour every day.
You can find a chair to sit there. Remember, you must be completely undisturbed, without any music or noise, just sitting alone in the chair. Of course, at first, you must want to move very much. At this time, you should urge yourself not to move until the end of an hour. If you can sit still for an hour every day, your work efficiency will definitely improve.
7. Seventh key: Do everything well from the beginning.
Make it perfect and best from the beginning, so that you don't have to do the same thing repeatedly.
8. Eighth key: You must control your telephone time.
A person who is good at managing time is usually asked by his secretary to find out who is calling or leave a message. When you leave a message, you must remember when is the best time to call back, otherwise you will call and he is not in, in vain. Generally speaking, the mobile phone is accumulated to a certain time and finished at one time.
9. ninth key: it is best to finish the same thing at once.
When you do the same thing repeatedly, you will be perfect, so your efficiency will definitely improve.
10, the tenth key: making a "time log"
How much time did you spend doing those things? Keep a detailed record of what you did every day. You will find, alas! Waste so much time. Only by finding the source of wasting time can we change it.

Rich man: We didn't tell you.
Text/Michelle? Kauchi
Many rich people don't get rich overnight and spend money like water, just as we think. They will make money and know how to save money. Let's see what the rich say.
1, I look at it this way: saving equals making money. For example, if I give up spending 2000 dollars to fly first class, it is equivalent to earning 2000 dollars from others. You earned 2000 dollars by sitting in an uncomfortable chair for three hours. You won't disagree, will you?
A famous plastic surgeon in Boston.
When you open the newspaper and see those preferential activities, it seems that all the bills are looking at you. That's how I learned to save money. Why not take this opportunity to save money?
Hillary? American film and television star swank.
We have billionaires around us, but we can't tell from the outside. The truly rich are usually not those who wear the most expensive clothes, carry the latest handbags or drive luxury cars. In the Martha's Vineyard where I live, you can see that many people live in houses worth tens of millions, but they buy Toyota cars of 10.
A famous plastic surgeon in Boston.
When shopping, you'd better ask "Where did you get the goods in your shop?" Once, I wanted to buy some organic food, and the price was staggering. So I thought, where did the goods in this store come from? I did some research and called the wholesaler. The minimum wholesale order for this batch of food is $250, so I called my friends again to seek orders from them and then wholesale some as needed. After I came back, I sold my things to my friends at a relatively cheap price.
Jefford. Cesler, CEO of housekeeping company.
If you want to succeed, you must dare to accept risks. In the 1990s, I worked in AOL, and the company laid off 300 people. I am one of them. At that time, the movie Titanic had just been released, and I had a whim. I bought 500 T-shirts with the rent and printed a sentence on them: "Give up the shipwreck and start over." If I can't sell these 500 clothes, I'll have to wander the streets. But it only took six hours, and these clothes were sold out. I made 5000 dollars. Later, I bought 65,438+00,000 T-shirts and sold them all in two months, earning $654,380+million. That online shop is the first company I started.
Peter. Sakerman
6. In investing, pay attention to the inspiration brought by people around you. One day, my wife said happily that Hans Company was going to sell pantyhose in the department store. As soon as I heard it, I thought that a housewife was so obsessed with this, and this company might have a bright future, so I bought the stock of Hans Company, and later I saw that this stock rose six times.
Company manager.
7. I earned a little more after I became a programmer. I want to give some money to help my relatives and friends who are short of money because of the economic downturn, but I'm afraid they don't want it. So I had an idea and asked them to give me advice on designing the program. Their advice was of little use, and I hardly earned an extra dollar for it, but I gave them thousands of dollars in cooperation fees.
Allen? Vaughn, the programmer.
8. When you have money, the hardest thing is to give gifts to others. If the gift you give is very cheap, the other person will think: He is so rich that he gave me this? If your gift is expensive, the other person will think that he is showing off.
Inspirational journal article 5:
Break the retreat, there is a way out.
Wen/yage
No one can deny that people are essentially attached to comfort and stability, and like laziness and leisure. But if you want to make a breakthrough and succeed in life, you must put more pressure on yourself and force yourself to do your best. At this time, choosing a self-destructive retreat is indeed an excellent way.
Jin Yong, a famous martial arts novelist, once said in an interview that many of his works were "forced". The reporter asked in detail what happened, and Jin Yong said that he was "forced" to break his retreat. It turned out that when he was writing "Liancheng Tactics", he was also bored and slack, and sometimes he couldn't write 1000 words a day. He didn't think this would work, so he took the initiative to sign a serial contract with the newspaper. The contract stipulates how many words he has to complete every day, and he will be compensated for breach of contract. This "compulsion" forced him to control his psychology, calm himself down and devote himself to writing, scrambling to write at a speed of 5000 words every day, and finally finished the novel ahead of schedule. Later, when I wrote other novels, I also signed a contract with the newspaper before writing, constantly tasting the fruitful results after giving myself a way out.
Hugo, another world-class French writer, also committed suicide by this. 1830, Hugo signed a contract with a publishing house to write a novel and publish it within six months. Hugo, who was born in a famous family, has a wide circle of friends and often goes to various banquets and parties. Later, he thought it would affect his writing too much, so he thought of a trick: lock all the luxurious clothes in the cupboard except underwear and sweaters, and then throw the keys into the depths of the lake! In this way, because he couldn't get clothes to wear when he went out, he was forced to completely break the idea of going out to see friends, bury himself in writing, and never leave his desk except eating and sleeping. As a result, his work was finished two weeks ahead of schedule. This work, completed in only five months, is the masterpiece Notre Dame de Paris, which later became a world literary classic.
In fact, it is not uncommon to break back in ancient times. The most typical example is the decisive battle between Chu overlord Xiang Yu and Qin general Zhang Han. He let the soldiers sink the boat crossing the river and smashed the cauldron for eating, which showed his determination not to go back until he defeated the enemy. In the end, he defeated Zhang Han with fewer and more. Soon, Han Xin, who was at war with Zhao, used a similar method and made a "last fight", which made the soldiers cut off the idea of going back. The Jedi fought back and won a great victory. From this, it can be seen that the ancient saying that "if you are trapped in death, you will be born later, and if you stay in death, you will survive" is indeed a wise saying.
When Dai Mosini, a famous orator in ancient Greece, was young, he often hid in a basement to practice his pronunciation and speaking skills. When he was in his twenties, he liked to play. Because I can't stand loneliness, I want to go out for a walk after practicing for a while, but I can't calm down, so the effect of practicing is not good. In order to control himself, he cut off half of his hair, thus becoming a strange "yin and yang head". Because of his strange hairstyle, he was ashamed to see people, so he had to give up the idea of going out to play completely and concentrate on practicing. In this way, for several months in a row, he stayed at home, practiced hard every day, made great progress in his speech, and finally became a famous speaker.
Self-destructive retreat, of course, showed great determination and confidence. Sometimes, people's push and pressure on you, although not what you want, often interrupt your retreat objectively, which also plays a great incentive role.
In the thirties and forties of last century, there was a composer George? Gershwin never wrote a symphony when he was a minor celebrity. Once, the famous conductor of the most famous Skand Jazz Orchestra in the United States appreciated his talent very much and kindly invited him to write a symphony for the symphony orchestra. Although Gershwin was deeply moved, he refused because he knew nothing about symphonies and was afraid of losing face if he couldn't write well. The conductor repeatedly advised him to write, but he still refused. Seeing that he is so stubborn, the conductor has become so stubborn that he even advertised in the newspaper without Gershwin's permission, saying that Gershwin's latest symphony "rhapsody in blue" will be staged in the concert hall in 20 days! This newspaper has a large circulation, and the whole world knows the news at once. I don't know what to do. Gershwin was surprised to see the advertisement in the newspaper and quickly asked the conductor why he embarrassed him.
The conductor smiled and said to him, "Anyway, the whole city knows about it, so you can do whatever you want."
Gershwin saw that it was no use crying over spilt milk, so he had to crustily skin of head and shut himself in his room and began to write his first symphony. Never mind, he finished Rhapsody in Blue Symphony in two weeks. Unexpectedly, his first performance was a great success. Gershwin's fame soon spread all over the United States, and later he became the most famous composer in Hollywood.
Coincidentally, the success of American pianist Gershwin, a black baritone singer who was later called "the king of lyric jazz songs", was also forced by others. At that time, he was still a young and unknown piano player, playing in bars for a living. Many guests come here because of his good piano skills. One night when he was playing the piano, suddenly a guest was ingenious and told him not to play the piano, just to listen to him sing a song. He kept saying, "I can't sing." However, this guest's "unreasonable" request has been supported by other guests! He repeatedly explained shyly and fearfully, "I learned piano since I was a child, but I never learned to sing." I'm afraid I can't sing well. " But no one listened to his explanation. After the bar owner knew about it, he only said a word to Najinggao: "If you don't want to lose your job, just sing a song."
In desperation, Najing blushed and timidly sang Mona Lisa. I didn't expect to win a full house applause with the song! From then on, he began to play and sing. Later, his singing reputation far surpassed that of piano playing, and he became the "king of jazz songs" that swept the world.
I think about it, then Jinggao really has to thank the guests and the boss. Without their efforts, would he have made such brilliant achievements today?
If a person wants to achieve something, he must concentrate on pursuing his goal. And human nature has inherent weaknesses. When it is difficult for us to control our inertia and desire and concentrate on moving forward, we might as well cut off our retreat and force ourselves to go all out to find a way out. Facts have proved that no matter whether he breaks his retreat or he breaks his retreat, as long as he breaks his retreat and does not leave, it will be easier to find a way out and succeed.
