1. the fable of growth: Be an apple tree that will grow forever
An apple tree finally came to an end.
In the first year, it had 10 apples, 9 were taken away, and 1 was obtained by itself. In this regard, the apple tree was indignant, so it was disconnected and refused to grow. In the next year, it had five apples, four were taken away, and one was obtained by itself. "Haha, I got 10% RMB last year and 20% RMB this year! Doubled. "This apple tree is psychologically balanced.
However, it can continue to grow. For example, in the next year, it had 100 fruits, 90 of them were taken, and 10 of them were obtained.
It is very likely that 99 are taken and one is obtained by yourself. But it doesn't matter. It can continue to grow. In the third year, there will be 1000 fruits ......
In fact, it is not the most important thing to get fruit. The most important thing is that apple trees are growing! When the apple tree grows into a towering tree, the forces that once hindered its growth will be weak and negligible. Really, Do not care too much about fruit. Growth is the most important thing.
Remember: if you are a migrant worker and encounter a boss or company culture who does not understand management, brutal management, or incorrect management, remind yourself, do not break the meridians with anger or complaints. No matter what you encounter, you have to make an apple tree that grows forever, because your growth is always less important than taking money every month.

A refrigerator? First floor? Or is a skyscraper so high? No, there is too much difference. The Thickness exceeds the distance between the earth and the sun.
Remember: visible power is more useful than invisible power. Nowadays, it is popular to look for answers from invisible places, such as potential development, such as success, and think that our life will be saved by some miracles. However, in my opinion, the consultant is more accurate. "It is far more important to make good use of existing capabilities through planning than to tap into the so-called potential. "

However, Tom and Toby finally found their respective solutions. Tom's approach is to always close his eyes. Toby's approach is to stay in the shadows of other things forever.
Remember: shadows, like the light, are the wealth of life. One of the most important psychological patterns is that no matter how painful things are, you cannot escape. You can only face it, resolve it, surpass it, and finally reach a settlement with it. If you lack the power for the moment, you can seek help, seek help from friends and friends, or seek professional help, so that people you trust can face these painful things with you.

Remember: others' knowledge cannot automatically save you. If some wonderful words touch you, if some text or new lines inspire you. The texts and experiences of others are just the beginning. More importantly, you apply the knowledge you think is good to your own life. The words of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber have always been considered the most important: You must start on your own. For you, survival will remain meaningless.
