A sign that a person is beginning to get lucky
Everyone is envious of the lucky ones, and longs for good luck to happen to them one day. The TED talk "How does luck get better step by step" said: "Luck rarely comes in isolation and drama like lightning. It is more like the wind, blowing constantly, sometimes standing still, sometimes coming in bursts, and sometimes it will blow from directions you never expected. It is easy to capture more luck, but not everyone knows how to do it. " Others often only admire the lucky one's momentary good fortune, but ignore the painful accumulation of quantitative changes before the other party arrives at the "qualitative change". When a person starts to get lucky, there are often four signs.
This summer, Yang Qian, who won the first gold in the Tokyo Olympics, received countless admirations. But among the many applause and flowers, there was also some "sour" ridicule, thinking that the young girl was able to succeed because of "good luck." In fact, anyone who has understood Yang Qian's growth experience will understand the self-discipline and hard work behind the gold medal. At the age of 11, Yang Qian entered the sports school for training. Practice shooting is not much different from other sports, and even more boring. At the beginning, the athletes had to repeat the basic posture day after day, standing, kneeling, and prone, and the time was extended little by little, just to give them the most stable state. As for shooting practice, it is a process of diligence in repetition, which is protracted and there is no slack at all. Yang Qian, who was still young, did not envy the happy childhood of her peers, but plunged into the vast ocean of shooting practice.
Even if the coach and teacher are not around, she always completes all training tasks with quality and quantity. Later, Yang Qian was admitted to Tsinghua Affiliated High School. Although as a sports student, her academic requirements were not as high as those of others, it also meant that Yang Qian had more learning tasks in addition to the training tasks of athletes.
Someone once disclosed the approximate training program: 1. Morning training, morning cultural class, afternoon training, evening training; 2. Return to the dormitory after 9 o'clock and continue to do homework; 3. Training is required 7 days a week, and there is basically no free time; 4. There is only one family leave per year, and only once every four years during the Spring Festival. Over the years, Yang Qian has used a high degree of self-discipline to balance sports and learning. This is the only way to become an Olympic champion while still not leaving basic schoolwork, and she is worthy of her status as a "Tsinghua student". One's success certainly requires a little bit of good luck, but self-discipline is the more critical decisive factor. Behind all excellence is a long journey of self-discipline.
Zeng Guofan has a standard for making friends: not to make "people who complain about others". No matter how good the situation is, it can't stand sighing all day long; no matter how bad the environment is, it can bloom in the eyes of optimists. The so-called "laughing people are not too bad luck", those who can always see the positive side of life, can often become the darling of good luck. There is a young girl named Selma in the United States. Because of work, she and her husband are stationed in a base in the desert all the year round. There, the environment is harsh, deserted, and even the weather is too hot. When Selma first arrived at the base, she was always depressed, writing to her family and complaining, always thinking about escaping from reality. A sentence in her father's letter woke her up: "Two people looked out from the bars in the prison, one saw the dirt, the other saw the stars." Selma decided to regain her mood, do her best to treat life with a positive and optimistic attitude, and discover the unique pleasures of poor conditions. Being in desert vegetation is rare, she studies the principles of drought-tolerant plant survival; Without entertainment, she observes the sunset and the rising sun and appreciates the unique scenery of the desert; Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, she learned to communicate with local people and learn how to make unique fabrics and pottery.
Selma recorded what she thought and saw and named it "The Happy Castle." What she never expected was that this spare work was caught by the publisher, and it became a bestseller after it went on the market, and it also brought her huge royalty income. What remains the same is the desert and life. Selma just changed her mind to deal with it, from the underdog who complained to others, to the lucky one who embraced everything and enjoyed everything. French writer Thackeray once said: "Life is a mirror. When you smile at it, it smiles at you; when you cry at it, it also cries at you." Your mentality determines the world you see and the life you have.
"The Tao Te Ching" says: "The way of heaven is good but not harmful; the way of man is good but not contending." Facts have proved that those who did not compete for the length of a while and did not show up in the limelight, on the contrary, reaped the unexpected joy and had the last laugh. The position of the richest man in China has many tycoons before, but there is only one person whose name is hardly known. He is the founder of Nongfu Spring, Zhong Suisui. When the founder of a company of his generation frequently made public voices or endorsed his own company, he almost never appeared in the public eye. When the Wenchuan earthquake, he donated a huge amount of drinking water and supplies, but it was hidden behind everyone: "Don't choose photos of Nongfu Spring products in the pictures about the disaster area, don't make a show. Pay more attention to the disaster area, our meager power is not important." When many entrepreneurs held high-profile meetings from time to time and posted photos, he seemed low-key as if "there is no such person". What's interesting is how low-key Zhong Suisui is, and how decisive he is in marketing. He is humble and does not fight for fame or profit, but he always has countless good ideas for companies and products. Back then, the phrase "Nongfu Spring is a bit sweet" directly created the domestic natural mineral water market;
Later, the phrase "we are just nature's porters" made the product even more popular. The so-called low-key life and high-key work are nothing more than this. Because of low-key, I focus on myself; because of humility, I never boast about the past.
It seems that every step of Zhong Suansui's career is going very smoothly, and he has the capital to make the world worship. But his experience just proved that when a person keeps a low-key and calm, and puts limited energy on his own diligence, he will have real good luck. There is rain in the sky, and people are madly miserable. The ability to brag is not true, but to keep a low profile and humble is great wisdom.
People often attribute all kinds of troubles in their lives to "bad luck": If it were not for bad luck, I would have been admitted to a prestigious university; If it wasn't for bad luck, I would definitely be the one who went to the interview and was hired; If it wasn't for bad luck, how could I be unlucky for so many years... As everyone knows, many times, the so-called "bad luck" is just an excuse for self-comfort. A professor at Stanford University once said: If you want to have good luck, you must get out of your comfort zone. The luck that a person has does not fall from the sky, but accumulates in bit by bit changes. The writer Ant Huakai once said: "There is no good luck for no reason, and no bad luck for no reason. Every time good luck comes is the interest you have saved. Every time bad luck comes, it is to compensate for the past."
There is no vain suffering and sweating in this world. Every bit of effort you put in, every drop of goodwill you release, and every change you persist is quietly paving the way for a "good luck" future for you. Everyone knows the suffering in the world, but they don't know how much hardship they can endure, how good luck they can bear. Everyone who has good intentions and works towards a better direction will not be wronged by the world after all, and this is the most down-to-earth answer to "good luck".
