Action & Getting Things Done · Success & Failure

《Achievement》 After failure and pressure, how can I keep taking responsibility and finding my own path?
One road to success, two to failure.
Who achieves more: someone who takes the successful road from the start, or someone who walks both roads of failure before taking the successful one?
Choosing entrepreneurship means choosing hardship, maturing, then finding a channel to soar in your career.
Find the one path, enter the present, and strive to experience the mortal world!
To succeed, you need friends;
To achieve tremendous success, you need enemies!
Everyone has potential, born in comfort and dying in adversity,
So when facing pressure, do not become agitated.
Perhaps this is merely a small test from life.
Believe in yourself; everything can be handled. Pressed hard enough, a hero can take to Mount Liang.
Circumstances alone create true great heroes.
Thus the poor seek change, and pressure gives people motivation!
What does pressure mean?
It means shouldering greater responsibility and continuing to shoulder it after failure,
Living with value.
《Failure》 What mindsets and actions do failure and smooth progress each test in me?
When encountering failure and suffering, do not fill yourself with complaints or blame heaven and others. Endure the test, persist in effort, and accumulate small but definite successes little by little, ultimately turning adversity into favorable circumstances.
In success and good fortune, remain neither arrogant nor impatient. With sincere gratitude, continue working so success can last. Both suffering and success test us.
“I cannot take it anymore” comes not from weak endurance, but from not having prepared for the worst beforehand.
Moving forward needs only one reason; retreating offers a hundred reasons.
Too many people would rather find a hundred reasons to prove they are not cowards than use one reason to prove they are brave. Letting go needs only a moment’s thought; clinging offers a hundred excuses.
Too many would rather find a hundred excuses to deceive their own feelings than break through pain’s cage in a moment. Many things are not impossible; what is lacking is the determination to do them.
《Bearing and Enduring》 Is continually starting over resilience, or impatience for success?
Someone doing business for a year or two falls and rises repeatedly, despairs and starts again repeatedly, fails and chooses anew repeatedly. Many say this person is indomitable and will surely accomplish great things.
I do not necessarily think so. These are appearances; the underlying core is “wanting overnight wealth, impatient for success.”
For great achievers, success or failure cannot be judged quickly. Within two years there is no collapse, despair, or failure. Autumn’s fallen leaves cannot be swept clean—why not wait until winter? The poor seek shortcuts; the rich sow seeds!
The poor use cliffs to kill themselves; the rich use cliffs for bungee jumping!
《Distinction in Public, Suffering in Private》 To achieve results, am I willing to invest the necessary time and energy?
Everyone hopes to rise above others and find a shortcut. Sadly, we ultimately discover there are no shortcuts: without investing time and energy, we cannot gain anything. Comfortingly, once we understand this, we know the path toward success. A path without detours can already count as a shortcut.
《Find Opportunities to Revise in Success and Failure》 After success or failure, what information can help revise the next step?
Treat success as a stage’s result and failure as information and an opportunity to revise.
《Review More Than Results》 When reviewing something, what should I examine besides the result?
Beyond results, review methods, resources, pacing, and boundaries.
