以下是平日覺得有啟發(fā)而收集的文字，期望對你也有幫助。
1.Whatever your approach, the goal should be clarity and focus. What do you want to be about today? What few things matter most during the next 24 hours?
2.And amazing things will happen if we can instill this ability of renewing ourselves without waiting for a full year. Every month? Every week? There is no limit. The successful people, I believe see every day, as a new beginning, leaving the failure of yesterday behind and focusing on the day ahead.
3.The solution at each stage is then backwards.
To move beyond Stage One, you must accept that you will never be enough for everybody all the time, and therefore you must make decisions for yourself.
To move beyond Stage Two, you must accept that you will never be capable of accomplishing everything you can dream and desire, and therefore you must zero in on what matters most and commit to it.
To move beyond Stage Three, you must realize that time and energy are limited, and therefore you must refocus your attention to helping others take over the meaningful projects you began.
Stage Three is all about maximizing your own potential in this life. It’s all about building your legacy. What will you leave behind when you’re gone? What will people remember you by? Whether that’s a breakthrough study or an amazing new product or an adoring family, Stage Three is about leaving the world a little bit different than the way you found it.
To move beyond Stage Four, you must realize that change is inevitable, and that the influence of one person, no matter how great, no matter how powerful, no matter how meaningful, will eventually dissipate too.
4.What Gets Us Stuck The same thing gets us stuck at every stage: a sense of personal inadequacy.
5.At some point we all must admit the inevitable: life is short, not all of our dreams can come true, so we should carefully pick and choose what we have the best shot at and commit to it.
6.Your limitations are important because you must eventually come to the realization that your time on this planet is limited and you should therefore spend it on things that matter most. That means realizing that just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it. That means realizing that just because you like certain people doesn’t mean you should be with them. That means realizing that there are opportunity costs to everything and that you can’t have it all.
7.Time is absolutely marvelous. We get to anticipate the experiences we want to have?—?which is often more enjoyable than the experiences themselves. We get to have the experiences we long for. And then we get to remember and carry those experiences with us forever. The past, present, and future are uniquely important and enjoyable.
8.Things Don’t Have To Take As Long As Other People Say They Do
9.Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. What we do today will either enhance or diminish our future-present moments. But most people put things off until tomorrow.
10.Yesterday Is More Important Than Today “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”?—?Chinese Proverb
11.Retirement Should Never Be The Goal
12.Five Minutes Is A Lot Of Time When you have five minutes of down-time, how do you spend that time? Most people use it as an excuse to rest or laze. By lazing for 5 five minute breaks each day, we waste 25 minutes daily. That’s 9,125 minutes per year (25 X 365).
Sadly, my guess is we’re wasting far more time than that. I was once told by my 9th grade English teacher that if I read every time I had a break?—?even if the break was just for a minute or two?—?that I’d get a lot more reading done than expected. She was right. Every time I finished my work early, or had a spare moment, I’d pick up a book and read. How we spend our periodic five minute breaks is a determining factor to what we achieve in our lives.
13.One Dollar Is A Lot Of Money
14.Thus, there is no right or wrong way. Rather, it’s about doing things your way. Until you experience this “moment,” you’ll continue attempting the correct or best way to do things. You’ll continue copying other people’s work. But if you persist, you’ll become disillusioned to those who were once your idols. They are people just like you and me. They’ve just made a decision to create in their own way.
15.You Get To Decide How It Works Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way, explains what he calls “the moment,” which every skilled creative has experienced. “The moment,” is when your eyes are opened to the mechanics and behind-the-scenes of your craft.
16.Success is based on choice. Success is based on having and maintaining a motivation worth fighting for. It’s based on believing what others might call a fantasy. It’s based on leveraging your position and maintaining the momentum of every step you take.
17.Your Work Should Be A Performance
18.Leverage Your Position No matter how small your wins along the way are, leverage your position!
19.I fail more than you do, I win.
Failure is something to be prized and praised. Failure is feedback. Failure is moving forward. It’s conscious and exerted effort toward something you’ve never done before. It’s incredible. “
The person who doesn’t make mistakes is unlikely to make anything.” Paul Arden
20.How You Set Up The Game Is More Important Than The Game Itself.
“People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.”?—?Thomas Merton
21.If You Can’t Solve A Problem, It’s Because You’re Playing By The Rules
“There is nothing that is a more certain sign of insanity than to do the same thing over and over and expect the results to be different.”?—?Albert Einstein
22.“You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.”
