You can be a successful go-getter working in a mail room just as easily as you can be a loser CEO. By cultivating a winner’s mindset, you’ll set yourself up for greatest success. Check out the list of phrases below and note any that pop up in your daily lexicon. Eliminating them from your speech will go a long way to eliminating the negative thoughts that go along with them and help you believe that you can succeed. That won’t work. How do you know it won’t work? Even if it’s something that’s been tried before that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work this time. Shutting down ideas without trying them is definitely not the mark of a winner. I can’t do it. OK, negative Nancy, but guess what? If you can’t do it, chances are they’ll find someone else who can. Instead, approach this from the perspective of what you’ll need to accomplish the task. Do you need more training, more support, more supplies, more time? Impossible Things are rarely impossible, so be very careful throwing this word around. In my experience, it often indicates someone closed-minded who can’t see another person’s vision. Rather than declaring it impossible, open your mind to how it might be possible. Brainstorm. Look at the problem from different angles. Nothing amazing was ever created by declaring it impossible. That’s not fair. What are we, four-year-olds? Real life isn’t set up to always be fair, and if you find these words coming out of your mouth, you are almost certainly feeling mistreated. Instead of playing the fair card, however, try looking for opportunities to improve the situation. And, understand that sometimes you’re never going to change a situation to make it fair — you might have to go out and create your own, more fair, situation yourself. It’s not my fault. It may very well not be your fault, but this phrase assumes that you’re laying the blame somewhere else. And nobody wins the blame game. Instead of focusing on blame, focus on solving the problem. How can you step in and make things right — even if you weren’t the one in the wrong? I might be able to… Might is another one of those words like try that set you up to fail. When people use words like this, it’s because they’re expecting not to be able to do whatever is being asked of them. Or, sometimes it’s used grudgingly. A client asks you to go above and beyond your original agreement, and to placate them, you say you “might” be able to add something. In either case, don’t hedge. Stand your ground and say what you mean. That’s not my job. One of the things managers loathe to hear. Sometimes, in order to help the team or move up the ladder, you need to step up and do things that might not ordinarily be in your job description. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of, but try to look at working outside your comfort zone as an opportunity for experience and growth. Need Need is a funny word. You need food, water, and shelter. You don’t need that report on time, your team to come in for the weekend, or really anything else at work. You want it. Perhaps you even require it for things to function and flow properly. But do you need it? I think… Which sounds more powerful: I think, I believe, or I know? I think can be wishy-washy. Leaders and other successful people are decisive. Go with what you know. I’ll try. Take a page from Yoda’s book of wisdom: Do, or do not. There is no try. People tend to use the word try when they want to leave themselves an out, because they consciously or subconsciously don’t believe they can or will accomplish the task. Obviously, it is not black or white with any of these phrases and there are of course times when you would use them. The point I am trying to make here is more about the mindset and the words we use (as well as the way we say them) are a reflection of that. These are my top 10, but what are yours? Leave your favorite “loser mindset” phrases in the comments below so that we can add to the list.
首先,请原谅我,因为我在思考的时候,或者称之为“头脑风暴”的时候是用英语来反问我自己的(肤浅的以为这样很解气),所以,我就那个英语记录了: What kind of life is meaningful? Is that very important?To whom? To save people?To fight for us?To be a hero?To love? To save the planet? 其实很多很多时候是为了自己的利益,你承认吗? 或许有N 种理由让我们告诉我们自己:我们必须奋斗,必须努力,我们要过上好日子,好---日---子??? 没有得到的就是最好的,这种狭隘的世俗观点充斥在我们生活的环境。 看看如今的“成功人士的判定标准”,看看各种媒体的宣传和标榜的对象,可悲! 很喜欢一句话:不能妄谈成功,成功,是将死之人的才念叨的事! 在哪里不重要,做什么才重要! 别再寻求“速成法”之路了!
AK's Inspiration, Vol.8, 2011. Some observations among Jobs, Joe Wong TED talks ak650 * * Shangrao, 334000, China I. TED talks TED上top 1观看是Ken Robinson (2006) 关于教育的演讲:《Schools kill creativity》. Ken (2010) 还告诉我们一个事实,有些人找到了自己所爱的事情,有些人一直没有找到自己所爱的事情。 II. Jobs’s Commencement address Joe Wong’s address at Qinghua University 成功人士在成就之后往回看,做讲座的时候,说的很多道理总是非常好,但我觉得那是总结而不是一种启发,而且depend on个人家庭教育文化境遇,兴奋一下就好。 但这一次,他们如此不约而同的一再说,你应该倾听内心深处的声音(Joe Wong, 2011)或者you should find what you love. (Jobs, 2005) 假设这是rule of success,那么承接part I中的事实,如何找?如何判断找到? Jobs在谈到自己被所创公司 (Apple) 解雇的时候说:I was rejected, but I am still in love. So I start again. 于是世界有了NeXT,以及Pixar。 无独有偶,Joe Wong也说:失败是一种答案,可以告诉我们很多东西。如果有一件事情,你在失败了之后还是想去做,就有可能是你应该做的事情。 Joe Wong还给出了他自己的methodology: “把长远的目标放高一点,把近期目标放低一点,这样在比较有成就感的同时,朝长远目标迈进一步,而不会挫折感太强。” 这就是我之前解释 为何要“眼高手低”! 同样,Jobs说:Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. 我自己的理解就是,要有野心兼修炼耐心。 Reference 1.
