How to be a brave man who will always go forward?

Don't go to extremes, but learn to challenge the limits. In the face of difficulties, we can't choose to escape, but if we want to surpass ourselves and get ahead, we must dare to challenge ourselves, dare to be the first person to eat crabs, and seize every opportunity to change our destiny, because only by challenging the limits can we achieve extraordinary achievements.

Usually everyone will set an ideal and goal in life, just like a bright red flag flying high in the wind. It points out the way forward for people. As long as this flag is erected, many impossibilities will become possible and even become reality.

Roger rawls is the first black governor in the history of new york. He was born in Dashatou slum, a notorious slum in new york. The environment here is extremely bad: dirty and violent, stowaways and tramps always gather here. Children born here have been exposed to everything here since childhood. Many of them learned to play truant, fight, steal and even take drugs at an early age. When they grow up, few people can engage in decent jobs. However, roger rawls, who was also born and raised in Sri Lanka, is an exception. He was not only admitted to the university with excellent results, but also became the first black governor in the history of new york. At the inaugural press conference, a reporter asked him, "Sir, what put you on the throne of the governor?" In front of more than 300 reporters present, Rawls didn't mention his struggle history at all, only told everyone about Pierre Paul, the headmaster of his primary school.

196 1 year, Pierre Paul was hired as the director and principal of Daxiong Primary School. At that time, hippies were in vogue in America. As soon as he entered Daxiong Primary School in Dashatou, he found that the poor children here were more idle than the "lost generation". They never cooperate with the teacher, skipping classes, fighting and even smashing the blackboard in the classroom are common. In order to change this situation, Pierre Paul has done his best. He tried many ways to guide them, but none of them worked. Later, by chance, he found that the children here were very superstitious, so he added a content to his course-reading the palms of these children before the lecture. He wants to encourage these children in this way, hoping that they can get out of doing nothing.

One day, it was Rawls' turn to read palms. When little Rawls jumped down from the windowsill and reached out to the podium, Pierre Paul smiled and said, "I can see from your slender little finger that you must be the governor of New York in the future." This really surprised little Rawls, because only his grandmother encouraged him once when he was growing up. Grandma said he could be the captain of a five-ton ship when he grew up. But this time, Mr Pierre Paul said that he would definitely become the governor of new york, which really surprised him. So, little Rawls kept this sentence in mind. And believed it.

From that day on, "Governor new york" was deeply rooted in little Rawls' heart. It was like a bright red flag, guiding little Rawls' life. The obvious change is taking place in little Rawls. His clothes are no longer covered with mud, and the foul language when he speaks is disappearing. The former idle punk is gone, replaced by a polite and hard-working boy. For more than 40 years, he walked with a straight back every day, and not a day passed without asking himself to be the governor of new york. At the age of 5l, he finally became the governor of New York.

Everyone should set up a banner in his heart to guide his way forward. With this banner, he can inspire his fighting spirit and make unremitting efforts to achieve this goal.

"Action is better than heart" is an advertising word, which means that everything can only be turned into action. You are likely to succeed. As a higher animal, man has only two abilities, one is thinking ability, and the other is action ability. It is unimaginable to want to achieve something. At this time, you can only achieve it by exerting your own action ability. Let's not short-circuit idealists in the face of facts.

There is a story that in a remote area of Sichuan, there were two monks, one of whom was poor and the other was rich.

One day, the poor monk said to the rich monk, "I want to go sightseeing in the South China Sea. What do you think of my plan? " The rich monk narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you going to the South China Sea? Why do you go? "

"Nothing else, just a water bottle and a rice bowl." The poor monk replied categorically.

Hearing this, the rich monk retorted, "I have always dreamed of going to the South China Sea. For many years, I have always wanted to buy a boat and sail down the Yangtze River. So far, my dream has not come true. Can you reach the South China Sea with such simple two things? " The poor monk didn't speak, walked away silently and started his action.

The next year, the poor monk came back from the South China Sea. When he came back, he found the rich monk and told him about going to the South China Sea. The rich monk was very surprised and felt very ashamed of it.

In fact, the content of this story is very simple, but it contains profound truth: no matter how good your dream is, no matter how good your plan is, you will never achieve your goal without practical actions. For example, if you want to travel somewhere by car during the holiday and fill up your car with gas, you will never realize your wish unless you start the car. This truth is actually very simple. So please remember that no matter what your ambitions, plans and goals are, you must take action, and only action can guarantee your success. For those who are afraid of danger, danger is everywhere. But if you want to surpass yourself, you must seize every opportunity to change your destiny.

One day, a lobster and a hermit crab met by chance in the deep sea. Hermit crabs see lobsters shedding their hard shells, revealing their delicate bodies. The hermit crab turned pale with fear and said to the lobster very nervously, "Lobster, how can you give up the only weapon that can protect your body?" Aren't you afraid the big fish will swallow you up in one bite? In your present situation, even a torrent will wash you to the rocks, and I'm afraid your life will be in danger then. "

The lobster calmly replied, "Brother Crab, thank you for your concern, but you don't understand that every time we grow up, we must first take off our old shells. Without shelling, our growth will be bound and we will never grow up. Only when you are not bound by a hard shell can you grow a stronger shell. The danger we are facing now is only to create opportunities for safer future. "

Hermit crabs are ashamed to hear this. He thought he only knew how to find a quiet and comfortable shelter all day, but he didn't think about how to grow up better. He just lives under the protection of others all day so that he will never get ahead.

In fact, each of us has our own certain safety zone, and we can't wait to rush to it whenever we are in danger. But if you want to surpass your present achievements, don't tie yourself down. You should avoid those comfort zones. You should be brave enough to accept challenges and enrich yourself, so as to get better development. Sometimes, in the face of all kinds of temptations, we should dare to break through the obstacles and get out of the restricted area, so that we can have unexpected gains.

In a company with excellent benefits, the general manager repeatedly told employees: "No one is allowed to enter the house on the top floor." The manager didn't say a word, and the employees also firmly remembered his words. None of the employees questioned the manager's words because they thought that the manager's words would be unconditionally observed. Since it is not allowed to go in, it is a restricted area. After you go in, maybe your fate will be terrible.

In this way, nearly a month has passed. The company has recruited a number of new employees. According to previous practice, the general manager said the same thing to these employees.

At this time, a new employee muttered doubtfully, "Why not let it in?"

"Why not? If you don't let me in, you won't let me in Are you going to disobey my orders? " The general manager seems to answer angrily.

After the employee returned to his post, he was still puzzled by the general manager's advice. Other employees advised him to do his job well and not to worry. But driven by curiosity, he still wants to have a look.

One day, in his spare time, he quietly came to the top floor and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. So he gently pushed open the door, but there was only a desk inside, and he was even more confused. At this moment, he suddenly found a card on the desk, which read: Please give this card to the general manager. As the saying goes, there is no windtight wall. At this time, many employees knew his move and advised him not to go. You'd better put the card back. But he ignored them and took the card and went straight to the general manager's office.

When he handed this card to the general manager, the general manager smiled and announced an unexpected decision to him: "From today on, you will be the sales manager of our company."

This decision inspired him, and at the same time he was thinking, "Is it because I brought a card?"

"Yes, you know? I have been waiting for someone to send me a card. I didn't expect to wait so long and finally come. I believe you are qualified for this job because you are the first person to eat crabs. " The general manager said confidently.

Therefore, sometimes when you walk into the restricted area, there will be unexpected gains. The sales manager can be said to be "the first person to eat crabs", and he seized the opportunity. Therefore, success only belongs to yourself.
