There is no shortcut to real success.

Many people are too eager to succeed, so that they are willing to choose any shortcut that they can think of. But in fact, shortcuts often lead to failure rather than immediate success. The key to long-term success is to walk through every step of success step by step, rather than trying to be opportunistic. Whether your goal is to have rich assets, healthy physique or good interpersonal relationships, this is an unquestionable truth.

I can often see that many people who are easy to believe in are attracted by propaganda such as “get rich quickly” or “fast weight loss”. They spend a lot of money to buy their products. In the end, they find that they are nothing but fraudulently.

For this kind of propaganda, one of my friends bought a “home weight loss device”. After power-on, it can automatically stimulate the abdominal muscle contraction. He thought that with this tool, you can watch TV while losing weight without difficulty. It is. However, this friend who is unwilling to lose weight in the gym through hard work is still overweight.

Shortcuts can lead to failure

As a professional ski instructor, I have seen too many beginners who are not trying to challenge their obviously uncontrollable ramps. They can't skillfully stop and change directions on the primary piste. Somehow, these people are always eager to sit on the cable car to the top of the mountain to challenge those very steep and difficult ramps, but the result is always standing on the top of the mountain, scared to be stunned.

I had to go up the mountain myself to rescue the beginners who had been so scared that they had been motionless, and they had to take them back to the mountain one by one. Imagine how ridiculous this situation is for an adult, as this is usually the case for a child of three or four years on a junior piste.

If those beginners try to slide down from the top of the mountain by their own strength, most of them will fall into panic and be unable to concentrate. The more they slide along the slope, the more they can stop, and they usually lose their armor and lose their dog’s mud. end.

We always tell them that they can take the cable car to the heights to challenge the harder ramps only after they have skillfully stopped and changed direction on the primary ski trails. To become proficient, you can only practice by using your spare time. But some people can't stand the temper and want to challenge the difficult ski slopes before they fully adapt to the primary slide.

They always thought they could take shortcuts and skip the steps they should have. When they took the cable car to the top of the mountain, looking down, and found that compared with the primary snowy road, even the simple ramp is far more than they can, you can imagine how surprised they were at that time!

Regrettably, some of these beginners will never wear skis again because of the horror experience they used to have. This is a pity, because they really wanted to enjoy the winter by going skiing outdoors. If they come back to study again, it will usually be in the next winter. At that time, because they don’t remember the basic skills at all, they have already lost the enthusiasm of the beginners.

The idea of ​​taking shortcuts has led to their failure. These poor guys have to learn from the junior ski trails again. Compared with those who are step by step, they have to spend twice as much effort to overcome their fears.

Follow the footsteps of the winners

On the road to success, being a mentor and taking a course is a wise choice. It is not a shortcut, but a more effective way to learn the skills you need to succeed. However, the time you spend with coaches and mentors cannot replace the necessary effort to succeed.

Whether it's sweating in the gym or building your fortune from scratch; whether you start a new relationship with your heart or practice a turn on the junior ski trail, you have to work hard to get what you should. There are no shortcuts to real success.

Many of the goals we want to achieve have already been completed by countless predecessors. It is necessary to use it as a teacher and make equal efforts. Every step forward is a cumulative accumulation of successes. Steady and steady step-by-step will lead you into the hall of success, and opportunistically taking the road to the left will bring you into the abyss of failure.
