Now, young people will see more about how good their former classmates are and how high their salaries are. But I often say that life is a general ledger. From the first cent of your school graduation day to the last cent you receive after retirement, the total amount of money you can earn is what you earn. The first decade is over. If you practice your basic skills in a down-to-earth Manner, you may have the opportunity to become a department supervisor in the Second Decade. The first decade is the time when your salary is the lowest in your life. At this time, you may be single, and your income will support your needs. In the second ten years, you may also get married. You may have a child. If you have done well, you can reach a department manager. your income is strong enough to support a family. So you are not enough. When you order food in a restaurant, you cannot cover the price. If you want something, you can buy things in a supermarket without looking at the price. In the second ten years, you will learn the second thing: skill, skill in doing things, skill in dealing with others, and skill in dealing with complicated things. If you have been solid in the past two years, you may have been in the Third Decade.
What is the Third Decade, to be the true boss of a company. The Third Decade is the beginning of your wealth accumulation. At that time, your income will be much larger than what you need in your life. The wealth of your life will be counted from the Third Decade. However, unfortunately, the vast majority of people are less than the Third Decade. Although we all graduated from the same Department of Science from the same school, the students sitting next to you during the class may be very different in the development of these two students after ten or fifteen years."
He Jinghua concluded: "I think the first 5% of the population are smart talents, and the last 5% are smart people called idiots. Most of them are in 90%. I did an iqtest today. I may not take the first place because most people have the same IQ. What is the difference? Some people can know what they want, and then systematically accumulate what they want, run your dream, and strive for your goals. Some people do not have a dream and have no goals. One day, one day, one month, one month, and one year or more ."
Maybe, you will think that "Thirty years of life planning" takes the third decade to truly accumulate wealth, which is too far away, too long, and too painful. Yes, it is indeed too far away, too long, and too painful. Therefore, the vast majority of people did not go to the Third Decade, and many even gave up in the first decade. They did not have the perseverance, their ideals won't last for so long.
However, if you have expectations for yourself and desire for the future, you must follow this rule carefully. More than 90% of people must follow this rule, unless you are a genius, you do not want to copy the result of the near-track, it will only make you lose as time passes.

[How to Find goals in life]
If you find the goals you should focus on in your life and there are many ways, Jim & #8226; Collins concluded that if you are very enthusiastic about something, you are very talented to do this, and what you do can bring valuable contributions to others, then this should be your focused life goal.
It is worth noting that "enthusiasm", "talent", and "valuable contribution" are the true goals. If you only find two, your life may be unbalanced. For example, if you only do what you can do the best, but you are not enthusiastic, you will be more and more depressed. If you are enthusiastic and competent, but what you do is useless to others, the results can be imagined. If you are enthusiastic and find someone else to pay for you, but you are not born with this material, it is not a good combination. So the biggest challenge is to find these three factors.
The first "enthusiasm" refers to the feeling that you can enjoy and do it with enthusiasm. This should be the most important factor we should pay attention to when looking for our own goals. Just a few years ago, I had a lot of economic pressure and it was easy to choose a job without enthusiasm for hundreds of Yuan of salary difference. In the short term, you get a relatively high salary, however, in the long run, even from the financial point of view, you will be outputted, not to mention the pleasure of your job, the learning progress that comes with enthusiasm, and other things.
Many people who have been working for ten years have achieved a certain degree of achievement in their work and earned a good income, but are not happy. The root cause is that they are doing jobs they don't like, but it is difficult to make up your mind to change the line. Once a person is in this situation, his or her life prospects are gloomy. Everyone has their own interest model. If career development is not based on interest, work enthusiasm will be hard to sustain and great achievements will be hard to achieve.
In the middle of 1980s, I was still in elementary school. A teacher showed us something like a big keyboard. It was the first time that my classmates and I knew that there was something called a computer in the world, the teacher described the great role of computers in the war and said that the future world will be the world of computers. The teacher spoke very well. All the students, except one, listened to the story with relish. But the only exception, my good friend, took me to the teacher after school and asked for more computer knowledge. The teacher agreed, so I also followed my good friend to learn the basic language after school every day. I am studying with Prince Edward. I am not very interested in myself, and I have low level of talent. I forgot everything I did when I graduated from elementary school. The friend, however, never lost his interest. He taught himself all the way. Later, he was admitted to the electronic information major and received numerous computer competitions from elementary school to university. When I was a student, he did not do well, but when I got into a job, his achievements far surpassed me. The root cause is that he found his enthusiasm early and was lucky enough to cooperate with this enthusiasm.
You are enthusiastic about what you want, not just imagining or dreaming about. You must find some evidence in your past life experience to see what you are passionate about. Many people are enthusiastic about what they see. For example, when we all went to apply for a major in finance and finance, we were the most popular professional with the word "international, it seems very enthusiastic, but not from the heart.
Finding your true passion is not as easy as you think. Therefore, you must observe yourself in your work and life. What do you do most have a sense of accomplishment? What is the most exciting? What are you most interested in? Who do they envy most? If you are already rich, don't worry about money. What are you most willing to do? At the same time, please familiarize yourself with the results they observed.
Of course, enthusiasm is important, but do not expect a job to satisfy all your enthusiasm. A good job always has your favorite side and dislike side. There is no job in this world, and you will like it all. For example, for management, I like people and do not like processes. Some actors like acting, but do not like business catwalk. One. A professor may like lectures but does not like academic research. And so on. But as long as this job can satisfy your most interesting part, it will be good. If you want to accept a reality, something interesting will always lose some interest when it becomes a job. XI Yanyun: "Love her, love her cat ." Sincerely speaking.
The second "have talent" refers to whether you are doing something that you are born to excel at. When you are doing something that you have talent, you will feel like a fish. It is worth noting that what you do better than others does not necessarily mean that you have talent. For example, when I went to school, I scored better in science than in liberal arts. Even when I took the college entrance examination, I got nearly full marks while I passed the Chinese examination. But I still choose to read liberal arts, because I always feel that my science is a sea of questions and tactics, and I have no talent. Although I am not good at Chinese, at least I feel a pleasure. Facts have proved that this intuition is correct. I have forgotten the mathematical formula of high school, but I still have a lot of Chinese back.
So, if you are talented in something, it does not mean that you are definitely better than others in this matter. Talent is mainly a comparison between your own talents. Talent has the following characteristics: fast learning, high understanding, and easy to make mistakes. In some aspects, it seems that you have a natural advantage and have no teacher To Do It Yourself; it usually makes you feel a lot of satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, and a sense of accomplishment.
To find your talent, you should also look back at your past history. In your past life experience, which of the following lines can effectively point out that you have talent for certain things. My talent lies in my continuous testing after work, and my colleagues and superiors keep providing feedback to me. They all think that my greatest strength is my strong learning ability and strong summarization ability. Therefore, I used this kind of talent more consciously later. For example, before writing this article, I read at least 0.2 million words of relevant information and then summarized it here.
Scientific research has proved that the model of interest and talent are determined by the brain's nervous system, and the development of the brain is relatively fixed between the ages of 3 and 6, chinese people say that "three years old, six years old" makes sense. By the age of seventeen or eight, the brain has been finalized. Therefore, you can find your interests and talents as long as you want.
The third is "contributing to society", and the contribution that society deems valuable, because only in this way will society be willing to pay for this value. You have to ask yourself, what can you do and what can be of value to others? Can someone else pay? This also needs to be sought from your own life experience, and you can continue to explore and discover in your future life.
Each person can look for these three factors based on experience. In fact, each person finds a very different way. Some people almost accidentally discover these three factors, and some people have spent some time verifying them repeatedly, there are also good teachers and friends who help to analyze them.
Many inspirational books tell you that money will come along as you do what you like. These books are full of stories about ELE. Me artists who are no longer hungry and hard-working. But these books do not tell you that more talented artists are still starving, and more outstanding actors are still waiting for their stage. However, if you can do something, these three factors-enthusiasm, talent, and contributions to society-can be combined, it will make people willing to take out the money for you.

The higher the level, the harder it is to work. It is a common phenomenon in the workplace. Some senior managers may behave leisurely and do nothing all day, but the managers are "hard-working". His mind must be constantly spinning. However, many people who are stuck in their careers are stuck in their minds, no longer thinking, and no longer growing. Do not say that when you go home, it is the same as when you go to work. Then the work was mediocre, And no one appreciated it. After a long time, my mind also stagnated. I died in a position and could not move.

[Excellence is practiced]
Some people say: I have a smart head and do not need to be as diligent as I am. Work is just as good, and it takes less time. My answer is: smart, hard-working, and comfortable, but there will be no major achievements.
IQ or talent is not as important as most people think. British researcher Michael & #8226; Hao, Jane & #8226; Davidson and John & #8226; through extensive research, ruboda came to the conclusion: "The evidence we found ...... It does not support the idea that excellence is a result of talent ."
According to fortune, their research shows that no one is a natural company president or a natural chess master. Only after years of hard work can we achieve great success. It is not only hard work, but also very difficult and hard work. For example, Buffett is famous for studying the financial statements of potential investment targets in an orderly and long-term manner. Lack of talent does not matter-there is little or no relationship between a genius and a great career.
In almost every field, most people begin to learn quickly, and then they are slower. Finally, they are completely stuck. However, a few have been improving over the past few years or even decades and have achieved remarkable achievements. Andre & #8226; erysson, a professor at Florida State University, said the unavoidable question is, why? How can someone continuously improve? The answer begins with a continuous observation of the talents in many fields. Since Eriksson and two colleagues published an important paper in 1993, scientists around the world have conducted dozens of studies, many of which focus on sports, music, and chess, the performance of such projects can be easily measured and presented in charts over a period of time. However, a lot of research has been conducted in other fields, including business.
The first important conclusion is that no one will achieve remarkable achievements without making any effort. Imagine that you have discovered that you are talented in a certain field and are superior in the first place. This is a good thing, but it will not become a reality. There is no evidence to prove that lack of practical experience or training can lead to outstanding performance. There is a lot of evidence that even the most talented people need to work hard for about 10 years to become world-class figures. Researchers call it the 10-year law. How does Fisher explain how to become a chess master at the age of 16? The 10-year law applies: He has been conducting intensive learning for nine years. "The 10-year law is a rough estimate, and most researchers believe it is the minimum time needed, instead of the average time required." In many fields (music and literature), elites need 20 or 30 years of experience to reach their peak.
So not anyone can achieve remarkable achievements, it requires a lot of hard work. However, this is not enough. Many people have worked hard for ten years and have not yet achieved outstanding achievements or even significant progress. What is missing? They lack conscious exercises. The best in any field is those who spend most of their time "consciously practicing. This activity has a clear purpose to improve the level, a goal to surpass itself, a response to the results, and a high level of repeated exercises. For example, simply hitting a bucket is not a conscious exercise, which is why most golfers cannot improve. Waving the 8-day iron (Golf Club model) for 300 times, with the goal of reaching 20 feet times less than 80% of the number of flags on the ball, constantly observing the results and making appropriate adjustments, practice for several hours every day-this is a conscious exercise.
This evidence can be found in many fields. Eriksson and his colleagues studied the 20-Year-Old violator. The best group of conscious exercises averaged 10000 hours, and the following group averaged 7500 hours, the group below is 5000 hours. This is also true for surgery, insurance sales, and almost all sports. The more conscious you practice, the better you do. A large number of conscious exercises will lead to superior performance.
Many top athletes are famous for the world for their extremely strict daily training. In terms of basketball, Michael & #8226; Jordan's enhanced training surpassed the already tough team training. For rugby, the recording player Jerry & #8226; rice was rejected by 15 teams and they thought he was too slow. He worked hard and eventually made it difficult for other players to catch up with him. Tiger & #8226; Woods is a typical example. His father taught him golf when he was one and a half years old and encouraged him to practice more. When he became the youngest champion of the American Amateur Championship at the age of 18, he had practiced for at least 15 years. He never keeps his feet closed and spends a lot of time training every day. Since the age of 11, Phelps has been training extremely hard for the Olympic Games, and there is basically no entertainment for normal children. It takes 100 kilometers to swim in the water every week. On the seventh day, Phelps was trained in the swimming pool every day, even for Christmas.
Science and anecdotes seem to fully support the idea that "conscious practice" is the source of outstanding performance. There is only one question: how to practice business? In fact, many business things can be practiced directly. You can practice presenting, negotiating, evaluating, and interpreting financial statements. However, they are not the most fundamental factors for creating outstanding business performance. To achieve outstanding performance, you must negotiate with others, seek information, and make judgments and decisions in an unpredictable environment. Can these exercises be performed? Yes.
It involves how to do what you are already doing-practice at work, which requires significant changes. First, set a new goal for the task: not only to complete the task, but to do better. Anything done by anyone at work, from the most basic task to the most exciting task, can be improved.
Armed with this kind of mind, people will put themselves into work in a new way. Research shows that they process the information more deeply and save it for a longer time. They ask for more information about their work and seek other perspectives. They have a long-term point of view, not just doing a job, but obviously trying to do better in a greater sense. Research once again shows that such different mental states are very important. For example, when amateur singers take music lessons, they are interesting and relaxed. But for professional singers, they are more focused in class and focus on improving their levels. The same activity, different mentality.
For most people, work is hard, but no greater effort is made. The extra steps are too difficult and hard to do. Perhaps we cannot expect most people to achieve outstanding achievements because it is too demanding, but outstanding achievements are not reserved for a few people in advance, and everyone has a chance.

In the preface to "My Life", former US President Clinton wrote: "When I graduated from law school, I was a young man and was very eager to begin my life right away. At this moment, I had a whimsy. I put the novels and history books I wanted to read on a shelf and went out to buy a book 'how to do it': how to control my time and life. the main point of this book is that we must list our short-term, mid-term, and long-term life goals and classify them by their importance. For example, group A is the most important and group B is the most important, group C, group 3, and so on. Then, specific actions to achieve these goals are listed under each target. I keep this simple book for nearly 30 years. I'm sure this list is still buried in a pile of paper, even though it cannot be found at the moment. However, I did not forget the list of group. I want to be a good man, marry a good wife, raise a few good children, make a few good friends, be a successful politician, and write a great book ." Thirty years later, Clinton apparently thought that he had achieved the goal set in that year. He was just a bit embarrassed and said, "of course, I am not a good guy, but it should be determined by God ."
Strictly speaking, Clinton's long-term goals listed in the preface are only one vision of life. Most of us, when we were young, probably had these or similar self-deception or desire for life, but there were very few dream come true. The difference between Clinton is that, from his autobiography, we can see that since he was a 16-year-old politician, he has not put his vision of life in fantasies, instead, we constantly develop clear stage goals to implement our vision, so as to move closer to our dreams step by step. In 1973, he graduated from Yale Law School at the age of 27 and went home to the hometown of Arkansas State University to serve as a professor, because his family had a deep network of resources and influence, which helped him to enter politics. Three years later, he served as the Attorney General of Arkansas and succeeded in election for the governor two years later. He was re-elected until 1992. During his tenure as the Governor, in order to expand the national influence and lay the foundation for future election for the President, he has served as Chairman of the Southern Economic Development Policy Committee and Chairman of the Joint Meeting of National Governors, and assisted the President in presiding over the work of the National highest education authority. In 1990, he was also elected chairman of the Democratic Party's supreme committee. In 1992, he was elected President of the United States.
There are too many uncontrollable factors in the development of life. It is impossible to develop a complete and accurate life plan for social changes. If you have to set a very dead target, for example, if you want to become an asset 1 billion entrepreneur within 20 years, and then push yourself to what you have become in a few years or what you have become in a few years, this is a very stiff practice, this is also an unrealistic practice. No one can guarantee that the goal can be achieved on schedule.
What we need to do is to establish a life-long vision for ourselves, and then, based on our vision and the actual situation, develop and achieve short-term goals for one to three years, is a more desirable method. For example, your wish is to climb the Tianji. Therefore, you must go back to reality and create a stone to build a tongtian tower. If you can create a tongtian Tower, the desire to climb the Tianji will naturally be realized. From Clinton's resume, we can find that his career vision is "to be a successful politician", and then take a step every two or three years until he becomes president. This is a good example.
According to his own life experiences, Tang Jun put forward his "three-year goal Update" opinion. He said: "Everyone must have a good career plan and cannot work hard blindly. Some people only know how to work hard, but have no plans. In fact, it is useless to work hard without goal. Five or ten years later, you will find that you are still standing. Some people have plans, but they are not practical. I have always made plans for myself, and I have made a plan for about three years. This is a reasonable planning interval. If it takes me too long, I will not see my future. I will certainly be able to see it in three years. As long as I work hard, I believe that my goal will become closer and closer ."
Under the guidance of the goal of Three-Year Update, Tang Jun took the three-year phase and spent six or three years, from an ordinary college student to a doctor in the United States, to start your own company, to join Microsoft. From the general programmers at the Microsoft headquarters to the Honorary President of Microsoft China Ltd. for life, then to the president of Shanda and xinhuadu, so as to complete the expert-type professional managers, to the "working Emperor" who received more than 1 billion "contract bonuses ".

Therefore, when you set a goal, do not forget to ask yourself: Why should I achieve this goal? What does it mean to my life? If you can associate your goals with the meaning of your life, you will have a sense of mission, and a kind of motivation, no matter how you do it, to never give up without reaching your purpose, if your sense of mission is strong enough, you will be full of strength and fighting spirit every day. Then, to visualize both the goal and the progress, it is better to let yourself see the progress every day, it will double the incentive.
Finally, I would like to remind you again not to take money as a target, so that there is no continuous incentive significance. Ask yourself what the money is for to find out your value needs and real goals. In addition, when making a plan around the target, you must pay attention to the combination of your own conditions and environment, and cannot copy others, or send things that you cannot control. Different people, even the same goal, may be different implementation paths.

The second characteristic of successful users is to make good use of resources.
The continuous action and the diligence of Superman are all necessary conditions for success. Without such conditions, it is certainly impossible to succeed, but it may not be possible to succeed only by such means. A day is only 24 hours. It is the same for everyone. Due to time constraints and diligence, there will be a limit.
Therefore, in order to go beyond the limits of time, the winners also know how to use resources on the basis of diligence. In the old saying that "masters are good", some very proud people are not satisfied with this: I do not have a "famous teacher", and I have to create a world by myself. This kind of ambition is good, but the objective fact is that a famous teacher is a kind of resource. He has accumulated a wealth of professional knowledge, experience, and profound connections with countless times and energy, as long as the disciples learn, master, and use the resources, these resources can be transformed into disciples, and the "elders" are more likely to be born.
In Ancient and Modern Chinese and foreign countries, students, fellow villagers, fellow students (fellow students) and colleagues in the same year are the original resources naturally formed by life experiences. Successful people always pay attention to and continue to maintain these resources. If a person does not pay attention to these resources and does not like continuous maintenance of these resources, he or she may strive to become an expert, but it is difficult to become a successful manager or entrepreneur. As a matter of fact, taking the expert path, if someone leads the way at the beginning, the results will be much faster.
Different people have different origins and experiences. Naturally, accumulated resources are naturally different. Your success is actually limited by these resources. How much resources can you mobilize, your success is huge. Therefore, to succeed, you must break through the limitations of the original accumulation of this natural state and make those who have the resources you do not have willing to help you, let his resources serve you.
Many people think that they cannot do things as they work so hard, and it will take a lot of effort for others to do so. Asking for help is to make others troublesome. In fact, this is a wrong idea. You must know that in the world, the difficulty is relative. Some are very difficult for you, for others, it may be just a sentence, or even a sentence is not needed.
Some people live with the idea of "Everything is not for good". They don't have difficulties, but they don't have to hide their faces. When they talk, they just don't speak out. The old saying goes, "It's easy to fight tigers in the mountains, it's hard to ask for help. "In the end, I just bit my teeth and held my own hand. Such a person is destined to have no success.
