You always let yourself go too easily

Most of those lost, you could have had

You say your dreams are out of reach, but you never get up early. You think success belongs to others, just because you never try. It's easy to let yourself go, it's hard to let life let you go

Last year, a new colleague came to the company.

He is very talkative and good at socializing, a few contacts down, think this is a very smart boy, but into the company a few months later, he made little progress in the way of the program, thinking pattern is not in line with his age of old-fashioned, set template is too obvious, the lack of creativity and fresh elements.

I think, should not be, his enthusiasm and hard work, coupled with a smart brain, should be a short time to get started quickly, but he made several times out of the program, which is not satisfactory.

I have a lot of handovers and interchange with him at work, and seeing his cleverness not reflected in the planning case, can not help but be a little anxious

Looking up at the sky

One time we went to meet with a client to make a presentation, I told him a day in advance that I had made some changes to the proposal to be presented, and then probably told him about the changes and the intention, so that he could reorganize his thoughts to avoid errors in the presentation, and he even said that it was no problem.

As a result, when we were listening to his speech in the conference room, he got stuck because he couldn't remember what I had told him before and stood there at a loss for words. The representative of Party A took the opportunity to ask questions, and colleagues scratching their heads and stammering, the scene once fell into silence and embarrassment.

I rushed to save the scene, explaining the creative segment of the program recommendations clearly and expressing the various advantages of this kind of planning.

Of course, in the end, the cooperation was successful.

But looking back from the beginning, there is still some fear.

This is a big event, fully funded, rapid return, if because of some details lead to unpleasant, must be a sad thing, or even responsibility and accident.

The new colleague apologized repeatedly after the meeting and promised not to do it again, but he did not do what he said "not to do it again".

When he was asked for a proposal, he was able to delay it, and when asked how he had not completed it for several days, his colleague said that the deadline had not yet arrived, so there was no hurry.

His program often used the previous template. This is not wrong after the good things are also called classic, but if each time the program, over and over again are so many patterns, it is a little confusing.

I asked him: how can this work? He said: redrawing the idea is too much trouble, the same program is fine, anyway, not the same customer.

At the beginning of this year, this colleague jumped ship to another company, I have fewer and fewer interactions with him, and I thought no contact, but a few days ago I received a phone call from him, asking me: if the company is still recruiting people.

It turns out that his new workplace is still maintaining the same look as before, and finally lost an order, the party to find another cooperation, his boss was furious, and the colleague also left.

I think he used to let himself go so easily, let laziness and procrastination grow, and finally for their hang-ups and get by with the bill.

A moment of ease, far from enough to support the ease of life, those talkative are well versed in the workplace smoothly and worldly thought to see people talk to ghosts talk to ghosts, interpersonal relationships are handled properly to get the gold medal of immunity, but the fact is that the ability to work on the inaction, and then sophisticated and useless.

The reason we let go of our growth so easily is that there is a word called "fluke" in our hearts.

Not hard life, maybe it has its benefits? Maybe the leader can't see me slacking off? Maybe my program was chosen by mistake? So it does not matter ah, you see, I am not serious, and did not cause any serious consequences, do things well, just get by, do not have to be too hard.

So, we self-referred over and over again, the first time to find excuses when there is a little vain, but after the second third N times, we are used to these excuses, we stand at the crossroads of life, and choose the simplest and easiest way.

We have forgotten our original intention, thinking that the immediate let-up and slacking off is timely and enjoyable life, but God is so fair that the laziness of the young is bound to become the confusion of the old.

My best friend, three months ago, told me she wanted to lose weight, she said that whenever shops fancy clothes can not be worn, this feeling is frustrating, however, more than three months have passed, and her weight is still dominating the original number.

I asked her how she hadn't lost weight.

My best friend said, running is too tiring, and the summer is very hot, after running is not sweaty, and too hard, why not run again in winter?

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.

The best friend said, after work cooking TV series, or shopping, no time to go to the gym.

The best thing about this is that it's only 24 years old, and she'll be thin enough before she gets married, and thin enough before she takes a wedding photo.

However, time and opportunity, never wait for people.

The best friend fell in love with a man, and the man said, sorry ah, I want to find a thin girlfriend.

The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

The girlfriend is sad, but can not do anything about it, she let her once find countless reasons and excuses and let the weight listen to her.

Most people are used to being in their comfort zone feel that they can do things as simple as they want, and don't care about quality.

But, the work and anything perfunctory is perfunctory to their own.

Your work report is full of holes, you say it does not matter, anyway, the leadership is not read one by one.

You are shouting to lose weight while using "eat before you have the strength to lose weight" to relieve yourself.

If you are dissatisfied with the boss why use less intelligence than their people while doing an only sweep their door snow regardless of others in the front of the office greasy bar?

You say "every day to wake me up is not the alarm clock, is the dream", while turning off the alarm clock to sleep.

You are dissatisfied with the gap between the rich and the poor in this society while lounging on the couch playing games and watching long TV shows, rather than allowing yourself to appreciate.

It is too easy to let yourself go, so much so that you take everything for granted, even to the point of developing the habit of perfunctory, day after day, year after year, and give yourself countless excuses, what procrastination, what life at the moment, what to do with yourself ...... various slogans abound.

But you just don't notice, so let go, and will not accomplish you, on the contrary, it will pull you down, so that you repeatedly decline, and eventually fall miserable.

No one's life is easy, we always have to go through months and months of hard work to get closer to the life we want. And if in these young days, we easily let ourselves go, avoiding the difficulties and persistence of the moment, then we will eventually get further and further away from the life we want.

I always hear people say, if only we could turn back the clock, if only we could start over, we could learn and work hard again, and we wouldn't meet today's problems.

The time can't be turned back, no one can go back, today's bad is precisely the result of the previous easy to let yourself go. If you let yourself go now and live perfunctorily, you will lose more years later.

And those lost, most of them are you could have had.

Why don't you seize every opportunity given by fate at the very beginning, step by step, and create your blue sea and blue sky with your efforts?
