How to exercise your ability to devote yourself wholeheartedly to one thing? Seriously concentrate on doing one thing.

We are all saying "do our best". One day, I stood at Tianjin airport and saw a huge propaganda slogan: "Don't be the best, but be the best!" . I began to think and practice the meaning of "going all out" with myself and people around me.

First, inject the heart.

Howard schultz, the founder of Starbucks, once wrote a book called "Injecting into the Heart", which caught my heart and made me deeply understand that the key to a person's career success lies in whether he injected into the heart or not.

Many times, we are doing a job, but our hearts are always outside it. I only thought about it in eight hours. Eight hours later, that's my spare time. Why should I consider working? Even in eight hours, we still have many other things to deal with, such as browsing the news, exercising, chatting and resting, but the time to really concentrate on work is often only a few hours. Because there is little energy devoted to the work, the performance of the work is not much better. And often successful people, his greatest feature is his persistence in work. Within eight hours, concentrate on one thing after another. Even after eight hours, they still want to work and talk about work. It is difficult for them to tell the difference between inside and outside for eight hours. It basically doesn't matter in career to clearly distinguish between people who spend eight hours inside and outside.

When driving, the window is open, even at a speed of 60 yards, we feel that the car is driving very fast; Besides, we closed the window and drove to 120 yards. We didn't think it was fast. Work is like driving a car. When our ears are always listening to the outside world and paying attention to everything, our hearts are impetuous. Even though we think we are working hard and making rapid progress, in fact, our work is far less than that of others, because others are quiet and focused. In a certain period of time, he can eliminate all kinds of interference and concentrate on the goal ahead, so the speed is naturally fast and the performance is naturally good. Whether we can concentrate on our work is actually a person's habit and ability, which will directly affect our achievements in life.

To fill a bucket, the first level is to put a few stones in it and the bucket will be full; The second level is to fill a little stone, which is also full; The third level, put a little more fine sand in it, it will be fuller; The fourth level is that you can also put a little water in it. Our work is often like these four levels. Fill in a few stones casually, and even if I finish the work, I feel that I have gone all out. This is a state of coping with and completing the work entrusted to me by others. At the second level, I began to have the spirit of exploration and wanted to do better, but the standards were low and the requirements were not high; On the third level, we are in a state of intention and strive to do our work better; The fourth level is the state of going all out, not to complete other people's work, but to pursue inner perfection and do any work to the maximum. What is the level of our work?

Where does the power to go all out come from? From the inner desire, a persistence in ideals, a pursuit of beauty. With the call of distant targets, we can endure many things that others can't bear, eliminate all interference and concentrate on moving forward. The larval stage of the "queen moth" is spent in a very narrow cocoon. When it is going to become a moth, the delicate body must do its best to break out of the cocoon. If it is a little lazy at this time and let others help it, then it can only crawl for a lifetime. Because that narrow hole is the key to help the queen moth's wings grow: at the moment of crossing, blood can be smoothly sent to the moth's wings by squeezing hard, and only when the wings are congested can the body flap their wings to fly. Many times, we are at the critical moment when the queen moth emerges from the cocoon. Only by going all out and persevering can we seize the opportunity and achieve our goals. At the beginning of flying to the distant place of Wan Li, Dapeng Bird is not in a hurry to fly forward, but hovering at a low altitude, concentrating on rising and enduring loneliness and ridicule. Once it reaches a certain height, it begins to fly to the distant place with its wings flapping, and then it is unstoppable. No bird that once laughed at it can fly as far as it does. It has a dream in its heart, and it can concentrate on its own dream, thus overcoming smallness, eliminating interference and soaring in the sky. The key to whether we can go all out is: Do we have an unstoppable dream?

Second, take responsibility.

There is a saying that "responsibility is better than ability". Each of us has to bear certain responsibilities in social life, just as Buddhism says, "everyone has a law in his heart." Only those who dare to take responsibility will be a successful person and a happy person.

You don't need a reason to take responsibility, let alone an excuse. If we are teachers, instead of thinking about how to be a good teacher all day, we are always thinking, "Why do I have to work so hard every day? Why should I be so mean to my children? How much can I only get a year? Why should I be so serious in class? " Then, we will be very upset and our work will be messy. Since you have chosen this profession, since you are still doing this profession, you must have this responsibility, no matter what happens to the external environment. There is a story that an international student applied for a temporary cleaner in Dienis Paradise, but the manager agreed to his request. But he was required to receive a week's training. He was surprised and thought, what else do cleaners need to train? The librarian told him, "As an employee of Denis Paradise, you must know the basic situation of Denis Paradise. When a guest asks for directions, you should be able to answer immediately. You must learn to take pictures, and you can take pictures for the guests when they need help. You must learn to look after children. You can look after them when they get lost. You must learn knowledge and ability of first aid. If something happens, you can ... Yes, we often represent not only ourselves, but also the image of the whole team. Only when we pay special attention to our team and our profession will others pay attention to us.

To take responsibility, we must solve the problem. In other words, work is to solve problems. Don't run away from this question. Many times, we are bent on avoiding problems and end up in another kind of problem. Problems are inevitable, everyone has problems, and life without problems is just a mirage, which will only make us lose our way. Our responsibility is to control problems and solve one problem after another. Many people fail not because they lack wisdom, ability or opportunity, but because they refuse to try their best to solve problems. If a person is willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the problem, then even if life seems dull, he will certainly succeed.

To take responsibility, you must take the initiative to work. We can't always wait for the arrangement of the leader. Each of us is actually the "boss" of a project and a job. If we accept this task, we will take full responsibility. Many times, we should not only learn to lead subordinates, but more importantly, learn to lead "leaders". Don't wait for the leader's instructions, but think of ideas and measures for the leader first, and then try to convince the leader; Don't always wait for the leader to come to you, take the initiative to find the leader. "Knocking on someone's door" is basically useful to yourself, while "sitting in the office waiting for someone to knock on your door" is usually useless to yourself. We should actively strive for all kinds of resources to serve our "problem-solving", especially the resources of leaders.

If you take responsibility, you should stay away from excuses. Excuses always sound touching, but excuses always cost you a lot. There is a book called Don't let the monkey jump on your back. This "monkey" is an excuse, a prevarication and a "life with problems". The boss asked Xiao Zhang to get a Xinhua Dictionary. Xiao Zhang will immediately ask: Where is Xinhua Dictionary? What kind of Xinhua dictionary? The boss told him that Xiao Zhang would be back soon and replied, "I didn't see that Xinhua dictionary." The boss said, "Ask Xiao Li where the dictionary is." . Later, Xiao Zhang came back: "Xiao Li is not here. What should I do? " "Then give him a call." "What's his phone number?" "Consult the telephone directory." "Where is the telephone directory?" ..... Let's reflect, in the face of a task, do we also have a general like Xiao Zhang who "comes back with problems"?

If you take responsibility, don't give up easily. Participated in the study of Shanghai Municipal Party School the year before last. In class, the teacher assigned us a task: give you a soft straw and a potato, let's try to penetrate the potato with a straw. At first, none of us believed that we could finish the task. But we persisted in exploring and trying hard, and finally succeeded. The activity tells us two things: first, it is not easy to say; Second, it is not easy to give up. In fact, if many things that ordinary people think are impossible come true, then some people will say that this matter should have been completed long ago and can be completed. However, the key is not to be intimidated by difficulties in this process, but to go forward bravely. "Although the mountain is difficult to climb, it will not become more difficult, but I will become stronger. When I let these positive thoughts occupy my brain, it becomes much easier to run up the mountain. " A famous person's words may enlighten us. Many times, we can rest, but don't give up.

Third, it exceeded expectations.

If you want to do anything well, you should do it better than expected.

Do a little more every day. There is a saying in "The Greatest Salesman", that is, "I'm going to knock on another door". If I knock on another door every day, many opportunities will be in this last door. A truly outstanding person always takes one step more than ordinary people; People who develop rapidly will always do something beyond their responsibilities without regret. In fact, people's intelligence level is similar, the key depends on their own efforts and diligence. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to surpass others a little, you have to pay a little more than others. Academician Qi Bacon of Ukrainian National Academy of Arts said in an interview in our school: "The only secret of my success in painting is: less sleep and more painting."

Do it a little better than stipulated every day. Many times, we have lower requirements for ourselves. Once the standard is low, it will be sloppy. And we in China have a big shortcoming, which is sloppy. How to make our work more distinctive requires us to strive for perfection every day. The key here is that we should have a humble attitude towards everything, not be complacent, strengthen our study and strive for perfection. Only when we are determined to do our best can our energy flow out.

Do it earlier than the prescribed time every day. A writer once said, "If I had to be inspired to start writing, I would never start writing. Even if you are not ready, you should start like this, because inspiration will appear one after another. " To do a lot of things, we need to act at once. If we miss this time, we will often lose the motivation to do things. Do what you can at any time, and often you never have time to do it. What we need is to do it at once, without delay, earlier than the stipulated time.

A little more skilled than the daily rules. Only innovation and creation are the source of social progress. We should persist in innovation and creation in our study and work, improve a little every day, and if we persist, our work will go up a big step. Whether we can be "smart" depends on our "intentions". If you devote yourself wholeheartedly, there will be more and more "smart" things.

I want to seize today, because there is no other today; I will go all out, because there is no other me.
