They say you should never forget your original intention. Have you found that "original intention"?

“Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.”

This sentence is magical and gives people the illusion:

Everyone should be born to know their original intention. , and then what you have to do is to eliminate interference, strive towards your original intention wholeheartedly, and eventually achieve great things.

In fact, I have not seen many people know what their original intention is from the beginning, or what they thought was their original intention was later rejected by themselves.

Read a story.

There is a little boy whose parents are engineers. He has wanted to be a "great scientist" since he was a child. He likes to read Einstein's biography and even organized a class meeting to explain the theory of relativity to the whole class. He has good grades in physics, has participated in the Olympic Physics Competition, and likes his physics teacher the most.

Zongzong showed that his original intention was to study physics, or at least to be a university physics professor. But when he was about to go to college and a spot was offered to him as a physics major, he gave up. Because he got to know the daily life of physics students and met some people who specialized in physics, he found that he didn't particularly like them.

Later, he became an English vocabulary teacher at New Oriental. Later, he founded a career education company, wrote several best-selling books, and trained a group of career planners.

He is my career mentor, Classics.

Looking back, he found that his desire to be a scientist may have been influenced by his parents’ profession; he was good at physics because the teacher liked him particularly; he liked to share interesting knowledge with others, and the theory of relativity was a A good choice; he prefers wild fantasies to rigorous research, and has even written several science fiction novels.

After studying psychology, career planning, and coaching techniques, he understood better that he is a "person who pays attention to concepts and relationships" and "shares the interesting ideas he has discovered with everyone, and is of great benefit to others." He is happiest when he is “helping”, which is exactly what he does now: teacher, writer, planner, coach, etc.

Therefore, he thought that his original intention was to be a "physicist", but in fact he just liked "sharing interesting ideas with others." Physics is one channel, and he can have many other channels.

Ford said, if you asked customers before the invention of the automobile, what would they want?

They will say "I want a fast horse", but if you ask them again, what do they want a fast horse for?

They say "I want to get to my destination faster."

If you are still confused about what your original intention is and what kind of person you want to be, you might as well learn from this story and see "What are you happiest and most energetic when you are doing it?"

When you redefine the problem and convert your original intention from "noun" to "verb", you will be able to find what you really care about.

However, during consultation, new problems will arise.

An enquirer who sells medical devices said, I can’t think of any happy or energetic times at work, but I can’t think of any other good jobs either, so I have to spend my time doing this.

What do you like to do after work?

I like playing games, hiking, and taking my nephew out to play.

Have you ever thought about combining these favorite things?

After brainstorming and character interviews, he found that being a "youth orienteering coach" was the perfect job for him. Later he did really well.

To summarize:

1. Your original intention is not necessarily the person you have determined to be since you were a child. Don’t be wrongly attached to it.

2. Don’t forget your original intention and do more things that make you happy and energetic.

3. To realize your original intention, you may not necessarily have a ready-made job in front of you. You must open up your imagination and dare to design your life.
