Invest and and train yourself
Hot 2 |
Knowledge is precious and powerful. Skill is the technique we have to master for living. The fast pace of social development generates lots of opportunities while they are not just right there waiting for us. Since opportunities are those prepared well guys, not a single chance comes alongside freely without any attached condition. The condition is being called the cost of time. That means how much time we have prepared and donated on the thing we like and want. Sometimes, we even do not know what the future would be exactly like, while it does not hamper us pondering and chasing for the beautiful and wonderful days.
The dreadful life messed up around, it is more likely to be lost if there is no specific goal of future. We are easily going to be involved in impulsive decision. The enthusiasm does not last too long, probably several days later, it fades to be nothing else left but an illusion impressed on the mind.
A strong initial desire rooted deeply in heart which is boiling in each vessel could make it possible by navigating to the ideal shore against the wind and waves.
If decision is made, how to start it? It demonstrates the simple philosophic wisdom: perseverance. Two of basic elements are extreme vital for personal improving, they are investment and training.
Whatever we want to learn and master, we should have strong body to keep sustainable working and studying.
As aging, the somatic function declines. How to keep energetic and vigorous life status? The answer is physical exercise. When we are off work and back home, we are reluctant to move any further just by lying on the bed or staying on the sofa. We complain about the fatty belly meanwhile swallow up yummy food. Though it contradicts, finally pursuit of happy sensation is easily occupied by food. Why? Because eating food does not cost much burden, while losing weight is such a tough issue of fat burning through strict diet and hardship of physical training. If there is a real goal to keep good lifestyle, we just have to abandon bad habits. Say goodbye to junk food and welcome to fresh fruit and vegetables, appropriate meat, plus enough physical exercises.
After the spring festival, the consumption price index (CPI) is keeping increasing. Many of vegetables are sold at a much higher price than it was months ago. But we still have to buy food, since nothing else is important compared to health.
Luxuries are not needful while the food and some other basic life necessities are quite indispensable. Never feel it is not a big deal, actually we should be serious on what we consume and what are truly to have. An occasional simple diet does not matter, yet it does to be influential to health if we do that in a long time and even suffer malnutrition. Of course, it does not mean that we just have sufficient palatable food, if so, we might have problem of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
Physical exercises could be beneficial and helpful for health, and body building. Now more and more people are joining the army of sport exercising, which is a good sign that most ones have realized the importance of well kept fitness.
Anything comes at the price. It is no doubt that the substance and materials would be things what we want. While we just feel so urgent and lack of mind of waiting and searching. We usually want to make a big fortune while have not realized the big fortune is the well being and happiness by living freely.
No matter how good the trend of a stock performs, if there is no patience and the cost of time consuming, it hardly makes profits. So it is with personal self cultivation and improvement. We just have to calm down and think before leap. The best investment is the payment on ourselves. Not just the smart suit and nice shoes, but also the life qualify we are surely to have. It could be not that rich, yet it definitely rewards fruitful harvest.
Equip and recharge through exercising and rehearsing on the premise that we can be tolerant to loneliness and temptation.
Before stepping out, we are to be sure if the potato chips and sweet candies are put away.

- That is why I like to read biographies of successful people. They patiently equip themselves with skills and resources to exploit and opportunities that may arise in future. Once that opportunity appears, they are ready to use their own power to climb the ladder of success.
We have to decide what are the essentials needed for our future. Once we have decided what are essential, we should work on that vigorously. The essentials needed for a young person to succeed would include good language skills, working experience, a sound mind, good organizational capability, reliability and trustworthiness.
Good health is also essential. While most of our work are indoors, we must arrange to have some outdoor physical exercise. Reasonable time must also be allocated to leisure and enjoyment as all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Confidence is built on self enhancement and upgrading. Be ready when opportunity knocks.
P.S. Your blogs are a bit lengthy, it would be much more enjoyable if you could shorten it a bit. Everything else is fine.

- Hey, friend. Thanks for your patience to read my blah-like blog. After a few days' business trip, I am back to write something. And then I find it I have a lot to recount, so you know, that I just cannot stop it by saying something. I knew it is a little bit verbose.

- HI, Teadrinking:
You are absolutely right: Success= Goal + Action+ persistence+determination
The below is the favourite quote I like:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
-President Calvin Coolidge
Physical exercise is never an easy thing, it also needs persistence, as hard as study actually, so if a person can’t take care of his or her own body, how can they handle other things successfully? Eg, president Obama, spend time do GYM everyday…in my opinion, image is as important as your talent, so start doing exercise , no matter how busy or how old you are.
