Excerpts from Philosophical Prose: Meet a Better Self 1 "Only when people find a reason to survive can they bear any situation". For various reasons, I often talk with friends and colleagues about "success, achievement" and "how to understand? How to face "and other topics, whenever I talk about similar topics, I can't help but feel dissatisfied with my former self, and I can sigh or blame others for the future, but there is a book that enriches many of my views and benefits me a lot.
The title of this book is actually very common. But how to be the really best self deserves our deep thought. In the process of reading this book, I often integrate myself into the book and can't help but compare myself with it. Inadvertently, I realized a spiritual baptism and a good introspection. Looking back, I further know that belittling myself and blaming others is the most confident moth. After reading this book, I have a relatively clear understanding of my own shortcomings, and some things I once ignored seem to flash before my eyes, reminding myself at all times.
The core of "successful concentric circles" is correct values. If the values are incorrect, no matter how hard a person works, he will be farther and farther away from success like a driver in the opposite direction. The second layer of core is attitude. For those who are eager for success, the most important attitude towards life includes positivity, self-confidence, introspection, courage and mind. Finally, the correct values and attitude towards life should be applied to the six basic behaviors of pursuing ideals, finding interests, effectively implementing, studying hard, interpersonal communication and cooperation, which constitute the outermost layer of concentric circles. Only with a broad mind can you succeed-as long as you have a broad mind, you will experience the ease and pleasure of "taking a step back and broadening the horizon".
Broad-minded people have extraordinary abilities and qualities in five aspects: pragmatism, forgiveness, self-discipline, respect and self-restraint.
There are many definitions of success, depending on how you look at yourself. Everyone can succeed. I can choose my success, be down-to-earth, do everything well now and be my best.
Be your best self, no matter who you are, if you take this sentence as your life goal, he will be very fulfilling, happy and successful. It's simple to be the best of yourself, but it's not easy to do it. I understand that you should do the following: First, be yourself. Second, believe in yourself. Third, we should pay attention to ourselves. Fourth, we should constantly improve ourselves. Fifth, kindness and love.
Finally, I quote a sentence from the book: "Have the courage to change what can be changed, have the mind to accept what cannot be changed, and have the wisdom to distinguish the difference."
"Being the best self" means being the happiest self!
"Be your best self", your opponent is yourself!
"Be your best self", I believe you will succeed!
Excerpt from Philosophical Prose: Meet Better Yourself 2 This is a society full of impetuousness and an era full of anxiety, and everyone's small emotions can't help stirring with the drifting air. "Calm and naturally cool" sometimes has to be verified again.
Society is becoming more and more advanced, life is getting better and better, and materials are getting richer, but people have not become happier. Why? We can say that this is an era of great material wealth, and we can also say that this is an era of material desires, because we have desires and we are not satisfied; I'm unhappy because I'm busy comparing myself with my neighbors.
Isn't it? From small to large, whether tangible or intangible, aren't we all comparing with others? See how obedient a child is. See how good a classmate's academic performance is. See what college someone went to and what job they found. Look how fast he's promoted. See how much money her husband can earn ... and so on, don't they all guide you to compare? So is the social environment, and so is the individual? Why can't I compare with a person? Why does so-and-so have a car, a house and a deposit and I don't? The starting point is not that you need a car and a house. I can't live without a car and a house, just because others have me and I don't. Is it ridiculous to think about it? Why do I have to have what others have? Why should we judge whether we want to have it by whether others have it or not, instead of judging whether it is necessary by whether we need it or not?
I'd rather believe that society is developing too fast, and we are a little behind the pace and lost our way. I don't want this to be in our nature. Why should we strive for it through comparison and give ourselves endless pressure? Are we so miserable that we need the success of others to inspire our fighting spirit?
I have to admit that every individual in society is unique. I am who I am, and I can't find the second me anywhere in the world. A person has a different living state, world outlook, outlook on life and values, a unique way of thinking and life style, and of course, a spiritual pursuit and goal that suits him. You just need to find what suits you, not try to overwhelm others.
It's time to jump out of the inertia thinking of "who to look at". Why should we look to whom instead of pursuing a better self? Others may be good and upward, but they may not be suitable for you.
In this era of rapid social development, buildings are getting higher and higher, people are getting bigger and bigger, factories are getting more and more, work is getting heavier and heavier, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and personal space is getting narrower and narrower. When the space occupied by individuals is more and more incompatible with the level of economic development, only our thoughts can be inviolable and can comfort our tense life. Don't we, who have been impetuous, have to let our emotions and moods be subject to people and desires that could not have existed at the same time as our physical quality has been developed? Why do you have to compete with others? Why not interpret your life independently?
We are advanced human beings with hands, feet, thoughts and brains. We are the only individuals with spirit, ability, ideas and pursuits in this world. Why can't we actively advocate our own life, our own future and our own happiness, instead of being bewitched and manipulated by others' success and so-called happiness? Society has been impetuous, and people are so restless. Why do you want to add this unnecessary pressure and burden to yourself? Being others can only lose yourself, and being yourself can grasp the direction of life. No matter how impetuous the society is, how heavy the work is, how complicated the human nature is and how fierce the competition is, as long as we have a strong heart and are strong enough, the beauty of life will continue indefinitely.
Don't try to be the best person, be optimistic and strive to be a better person!
