Determine your ceiling, not ability, but pattern

Your future is like a cake, the size of the cake can be spread, not to see how good your technology is, but depends on the size of your pot.

The pot is your pattern.

A person's own positioning can often determine the direction of the person's life.

When I was in high school, the head teacher Lao Feng often taught us with a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War

"Seek above and get within; Seek among them, get its lower; If you follow them, you will be defeated."

Lao Feng said, what happened to Tsinghua and Peking universities? Although we are a township middle school, the condition is relatively poor, but the dream is still to have. Aim high first, and the result will not be too bad.

Feng didn't lie to us.

After the results of the college entrance examination were released, none of those who rushed to Tsinghua and Peking universities were admitted to Tsinghua and Peking universities, but they all went to good universities;

Those who started out hoping to get a high school diploma ended up moving bricks.

However, even moving bricks, can also see a person's pattern.

Some say they are moving bricks, some say they are building a building, some say they are building a city.

Many years later, the first man is still moving bricks, the second is an engineer, and the third is a developer.

What determines how high you can stand and how far you can go is the height and depth of your thoughts.

There is a joke that only two kinds of people wear suits on the streets of China's big cities: foreigners and Chinese sales.

Mr. Zhang is one such salesman from the countryside to the big city.

To describe Mr. Zhang's work in one sentence --

Usually wear a suit, like a lawyer; Nodding and hunching at work, like a grandson.

Many people can't stand the grievance and leave after only two or three days.

Instead of complaining, Mr. Zhang made a careful summary after work every day, never stopped reading, and enrolled in a professional sales course at his own expense.

Iron work, water sales, and Mr. Zhang is a job for five years.

Five years later, Mr. Zhang was transferred from a first-tier city to the mainland and became a key account regional manager, with overall responsibility for sales in Central China.

There is no job in the world without grievance.

Small pattern of people, will infinitely magnify grievance, self-pity;

Pattern of large people, will be wronged as a required course of life, bearing heavy burdens.

People live to experience the necessary pain, can not survive, will die in the pain, survive, then nirvana rebirth.

He Quanfeng's words in the book "Pattern" well explain what is the "grand pattern" --

Whether it is insult, criticism, attack, or gain or loss, success or failure, for a "broad-minded", a "big" person, his heart is like a lake, you throw into a torch, it will soon be extinguished; You throw in a packet of salt and it gets diluted very quickly.

On the other hand, if you put a handful of salt into a glass of water, is that glass still edible? Why do some people encounter a little problem, small difficulties, so easily angry, frustrated, hard to swallow? Yeah, because it's too small.

The so-called grand pattern is not happy with gains, not worried about losses, not surprised by humiliations, and no intention to stay or go.

Not everyone is born big, but everyone has the potential to be big.

How to become a big picture person?

1. Pursue a higher level.

Women, great beauty for the heart, China and the United States to repair loneliness, small beauty for the body.

Men, wisdom for belief, wisdom for self-denial, small wisdom for wealth slave.

Small pattern of people seek comfort, large pattern of people looking for breakthrough.

How big is the pattern of a person, the key to see what he is pursuing.

2. Invest for the longer term.

In the same sales work, some people can only practice their words, while others can calm down to learn more professional and systematic knowledge.

Some people say that fitness is useless, some people say that study is useless, this is shortsighted performance.

Pattern of small people only see the present petty profits, pattern of large people are secretly prepared for the future.

3. Have a more optimistic attitude.

People alive, must look at the long term, must be separated from the current life, to look down on the larger pattern of life.

So, what we are suffering now, whether it is pain or poverty, is not a big deal.

Better to take a chance than to die in pain.

"The stage is as big as the heart."

We've heard this cliche a million times, but very few of us actually do it.
