这个故事告诉我们,你如果要学做一件事情,就要完全掌握做那件事情的要领,才能把事情做好。对于这个启发,我也有一个。
有一天上劳动课,老师让我们学习做沙包。同学们都各自准备好了布、剪刀、针线,还有大米或沙粒等。制作之前,老师告诉我们做沙包的要领,但是,还没等老师说完,我们就不耐烦地说:“知道了,知道了。”我们急不可耐地把线穿进针孔,一针一线地缝了起来。可我们不是缝得太松,就是缝得乱七八糟,装进米或沙粒后都会漏出来。再看看老师,她密密地缝着,缝到最后,留出一个小口,将口袋翻过来,再装进米或沙粒,最后缝上小口,沙包就做好了,米或沙粒都不会漏出来。
这时候,我觉得我们就像《群鸟学艺》中的`群鸟一样,只听了几句就自以为是了。其实,我们并没有把缝沙包的要领掌握好。看来,我们还是要向小燕子学习,不管是缝沙包、搭鸟窝,还是学习其它的技术,都要首先掌握方法和要领,否则的话,就难免欲速而不达了。
It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
初一的我是个内向的女孩,羡慕他人好多朋友,羡慕他人学习好,却从没羡慕过自己。直到那一天,我随手翻开一本书的某一页,上面写道“羡慕其他人的之前,先看看自己有什么"这句话给了我很深的触动,对啊!我有什么?我有很多。我有好的文学水平,作文被老师夸奖;我有一个认真负责的师傅,我的师傅很伟大,是个作家。对啊,我有好多,为什么我从前只是一味的.羡慕他人呢。
从此之后,我开始写许多小说许多作文,开始参加校报,并且第一次就取得了成功,在14位有力的竞争对手中脱颖而出。当然这背后少不了努力。在我的一些朋友看来,我已经有了非凡的进步,但是我觉得自己可以做的更好,因为我有很多,不比别人差,为什么就不努力试试看呢?之后我开始试着交朋友,我的朋友逐渐开始多了起来,不再是屈指可数的几人了。
羡慕他人的时候,先看看自己有什么。也许下一个被人羡慕的便是你。千万不要骄傲自大。不忘初心,不改本色,努力造就一个非凡的自己。
数学大师仅用唯一的数学成就自己一生辉煌;著名画家仅用一纸画卷成就自己一世英名;与其说他们幸运倒不如说他们善于抓住自身的优势成就自己。
一位刚刚毕业的'大学生,生活贫困,由于找不到工作而去饭店做服务员,没有有利的社会背景,没有丰富的人生阅历,也没有优秀的名校文凭,只能踏踏实实努力工作,将工作做到极致完美,于是仅一个月时间就凭借自己由内散发出来了精神魅力吸引了饭店的总经理而升为助手,他用什么成就了自己,普普通通的大学生一无所有,但他用自己的内在素质和人格魅力成就了自己。
平凡的人不应气馁,不论你是多么无用,哪怕你仅仅有一项特长或者是值得学习的地方,细心一点你将会发现并因它而成就自己。
一位运动员在短跑方面非常擅长,由于一次足球比赛,一名足球运动员受伤,而让他去顶替人数,在这个重要的比赛中,由于他自最后一个漂亮的偶然的射门引起轰动,所有人都记住了他,成为足球界的骄傲。之后教练找到了他,说他短跑非常有潜力希望他回来继续训练,然而他毅然放弃了,于是在以后的几十年足球生涯里他没有再射进一个,为什么他没有能够成就自己,不明白自己的优势,不懂的发发利用自己的优势,一时成名毁了一个人,要明白自己的优势,成功才不会遥遥无期,“知己知彼,百战不殆。”知彼很重要,但不要忽视自己,一个人只有看清楚自己才能够找到自己的目标,以及实现目标的优势,方能成就自己。
成功的人擅于抓住自己的优势发挥自己,不要将成功看的理所当然。
如果冬天执着于夏天的炎热……
如果大海执着于小溪的溪路……
如果泰山执着子假山的美丽……
如果你执着于不可能的成功,那么所谓的理所当然的成就将会被你所毁灭,不复存在,为什么不擅于利用自己优势——哪怕是唯一的,为什么要舍易求难呢?
记得要用优势来成就自己!
