Let inferiority become your motivation

The "Broadway" streamlined train stopped at the parking lot of the Long Island Railway and the body was bright. The flash suddenly turned on, and the camera slammed and everyone rushed forward. A man in shorts went to the railroad track, buckled the chain on the car and pulled it hard. The 72-ton steel car squirmed.

The man named Anguro Sicilino, 47 years old.

Sicilino grew up in the slums of Brocklin, New York City, and his parents were immigrants from Italy. When he was 16 years old, he was a 97-pound little dwarf, pale and timid, often bullied.

One day, on Saturday, Sicilino and other children went to the Brocklin Museum. The statues of Apollo and Hephalis looked at him and sat there without moving. The team leader told him that these statues were all modeled after the young Greek athletes.

In the evening, Sicilino cut a set of gymnastics diagrams from the newspaper and began to exercise, so that he would be as fit as a Greek athlete.

He persisted and never missed. Others laughed at him and he was not self-sufficient. He didn't stop. He once stunned to challenge a big bully: "Do you want to compare it?" The urchin only extended one hand and pushed him down. However, Xixi Lenno is not discouraged, but still hard to practice. He himself began to invent a set of exercises to make one muscle on his body and another muscle. Sure enough, his muscles began to develop and he bulged everywhere. He became "the most muscular body in the world", "there is a truly classical body that Hecles and Apollo merged."

He later changed his name to Charles Hercules, which is the name he won in several important competitions. No one in the world is closer to the male beauty of the ancient Greeks than he is. You must have seen his sculptures, the "sad" statue on the French river Mann, and many other statues, all of which are modeled by him.

Successful people often have a feeling of inferiority. Fortunately everyone has had an inferiority.

When Afried Adler was a child, he woke up in the morning and suddenly found his brother dead on the bed, right beside him. This shock made him determined to be lifelong and determined: be a doctor and fight with death.

At the beginning of Adler's practice, he accidentally discovered a series of phenomena, which made him have a great discovery of the human mind. When he dissected the body, he noticed various situations that were not particularly noticeable before. He found that the heart of a dead body was unusually large, and found that a heart valve was blocked and blood could not flow enough into the lungs. Is the heart bigger to cope with this defect?

A kidney that was sick in a dead body had been cut, and he found that the remaining kidney was much larger than usual. He also found that one leaf lung weakened because of illness, and the other leaf lung might become more powerful. Are these healthy organs not just trying to make up for the lost function of the unsound organs? When the bones are broken, will they grow thick bones, in order to make the bones stronger than before? These phenomena appear again and again, as if the human body has its own laws: In order to protect themselves. Instinctively strong to weaken.

Adler further studied and began to test the students' eyesight at various art schools. The results showed that more than seven of the students had poor eyesight, but the degree was different. Since vision is not good, why do these students prefer to engage in a career that must be used? He found that these students feel poor eyesight from an early age, so they work hard to make themselves more clear and sensitive than others. They train their own observation skills, cultivate the pleasure of watching with the eyes, and the result is more interested in the visual world than ordinary people.

Adler went on to study the life of the great painter and found that many of them had defects in their eyes. Why are there so many people who are bad at the eyes and who are going to be painters? Is it also driven by the law of the compensation defects that he discovered when he dissected the body?

He went to study blind people and confirmed that the hearing, touch and smell of the blind are particularly sensitive. Musicians such as Bruckner, Franco, Smetana and Beethoven are particularly enthusiastic about the beauty of sound, at least in part because they have hearing defects.

Beethoven is a surprising example. His hearing has been flawed in organicity since he was a child. He was already very good at the age of 28. After 4 years, if the earphones were not used, even the entire band could not hear clearly. That year, he wrote a wonderful second symphony. After the ear is full, he will write a more beautiful heroic symphony, moonlight sonata and fifth symphony. After a total of 25 years, I finally wrote the ninth symphony of immortality.

Adler's research, unconsciously transferred from biology to neurology, and from neurology to psychology, is the study of psychological compensation from the physiological compensation of functional defects. But by that time, the various compensations he noticed were only unconscious. The will of man does not work.

He then began to study less obvious examples. Pasteur is a good example. Because of the stroke, the part of the brain that controlled the speech was damaged. With great perseverance, painfully and slowly struggled, and finally developed a new speech nerve center in the mind. Adler discovered hundreds of identical examples: when he was a child, he grew up to become a famous Hercules; he used to be a bad star, and later became a ballet star. He became a big singer and so on. These people struggled hard to overcome their weaknesses and, as a result, cultivated superior abilities. This is not a blind compensation, but a human will.

He gradually discovered that this seems to be the law, as if people often get the achievements they are striving for because of the early weaknesses. It also seems that people must have a bar to jump over; the higher the bar, the higher the jump.

Among all things, only people realize their shortcomings. Only people have a feeling of inferiority. Only people must try to compensate for their own defects.

The reason why people are human is here. Adler is the reason for this.

Of course, you may have a faint feeling of inferiority in your life, not knowing how it was planted. But if you just try it, you can find out why and overcome it. You only need to thoroughly analyze yourself, admit your biggest shortcomings, and try to remedy them. This is of course difficult, but if you find clues, you can solve all the problems.

There are indeed clues, and you have to ask yourself: "What is my life goal?"

Once upon a time there was a person who looked extremely ugly and the pedestrians on the street had to turn around and take a look at him. He never modified, and he didn't care about clothing. Narrow black trousers, umbrella-like tops, and a top hat with a high top and narrow side, as if to deliberately set off his thin strips, ugly walking, hands swaying.

He is a small place, until the end of his life, even as a high-ranking person, his manners are still like a coward, still do not wear a coat to open the door, do not wear gloves to the opera, always say inappropriate jokes, often Suddenly depressed in public, no words. No matter where it is - in the courts, in the pulpit, in the parliament, in the farm, or even in his own home - he seems to be incompetent everywhere.

Not only was he born poor, but he was ashamed of his life. His mother was an illegitimate child. He was very sensitive to these shortcomings throughout his life.

No one is born lower than him; no one is higher than him.

He later served as the president of the United States.

If a person has such a big weakness without compensation, can he still get the achievements of Lincoln?

It turned out that Lincoln did not use every strength to compromise every shortcoming, but with great wisdom and sentiment, he was above all shortcomings and placed in a higher realm. Only in one aspect, that is, education, directly compensates for its own shortcomings. He tried hard to overcome the early obstacles. He was very ignorant and heard the pastor preaching before the age of 20, and they all said that the earth was flat. He read in front of the candlelight, the lights and the fire, and he read the eyeballs deeper and deeper in the eyelids; seeing the knowledge is boundless, and his own knowledge is limited, always feeling depressed. He fills in the resume of the MP, and fills in under the education: "There are shortcomings."

His life is a comprehensive compensation for everything he lacks. He does not seek fame and fortune, does not seek love and marriage, concentrates on all efforts to achieve higher goals. He is eager to dedicate his unique ideas and all the advantages of his noble personality to the benefit of mankind.

However, ordinary people must choose what they can achieve, and they must not be too high-spirited and pursue goals that they cannot achieve.

Now let's discuss the final question: Suppose you have a sense of inferiority and use it. Turn weak to strong, can you get it?

Yes, it is not easy. But can't you do it? It's not like people's past experience. The life of several great men is a history of struggle, showing how likely it is to achieve success through compensation. Reading the biography of Darwin, Keats, Kant, Byron, Bacon, Aristotle, you will not understand that their character and life are all formed by personal defects: like Alexander, Napoleon, Nelson, because of life. To be short, so determined to achieve brilliant achievements in the military; like Socrates, Voltaire, because of their own ugliness, so in the mind pains and shine.

In the middle of the 19th century, British capitalist industry developed rapidly, and the cotton spinning industry was one of them. At that time, the production of the Blaze company was booming, and textiles flocked to all parts of the world. This caught the attention of Japanese counterparts.

The Blaze company is located on a busy street in the UK. Every noon, the company's staff and workers went to a restaurant opposite to have lunch. Because this is the only restaurant on the street, despite the high price, it is still a good day for customers.

Soon, a new restaurant was opened in the vicinity of this restaurant, where the managers and the churches were all Japanese. Once opened, this restaurant is very eye-catching. Not only is it cheaper than the British pavilion, it is also delicious and has an excellent service. For a long time, those British people who used to be old-fashioned could not withstand the temptation of these characteristics, so they couldn't help but gradually shifted their dining focus to the restaurant opened by the Japanese. Finally, even some senior engineers have come here. Sometimes, some staff or workers do not bring money, where they can be credited first and are equally warmly entertained. Over time, the popularity of the people is excellent and the business is booming.

One day a few years later, the restaurant suddenly closed down on the grounds that the sale of food was cheap and the cost was high and caused losses. It made the staff and workers of the British company feel deeply sorry. At the same time, the restaurant's manager and cousin threatened to "go back to China without money" and through various channels, especially the frequent patrons - some engineers and senior staff, asked them to talk and help seek careers in order to raise Tolls, return home.

Because these senior staff members are usually "special care" by the Japanese church, they are also particularly sympathetic to them, so they are strongly recommended to the company. At first, the company was also very cautious, but in the end it could not withstand the repeated guarantees of the senior staff, and finally, had to let go. However, the company stipulates that all Japanese who work in the factory are not allowed to enter the workshop. They are only allowed to do rough work outside the workshop, such as pushing the tube, transporting the bag, loading the yarn, etc. As soon as they arrive at the door of the workshop, they are from the UK. People take over.

After a period of intense observation, the company's management found that these Japanese people were faithful and reliable, and they did not have any suspicious things. In addition to the "community" of the past, the warnings were slowly eliminated. After a while, these Japanese were not only free to enter the workshops, but some Japanese were also assigned to work in the technical department.

However, the company’s dreams of going up and down did not come to mind. The whole class of this Japanese restaurant is a top textile expert in Japan. They work quietly while keeping the advanced equipment components, structure and functions of the British textile machine in mind.

A few years later, the Japanese claimed that they had saved a sum of money and were ready to go home. They successfully completed their passports abroad and set off for Japan. After returning to China, after a few years of hard work, they designed a set of textile machinery that was quite advanced at the time. Since then, the Japanese textile industry has made a leap.

In fact, the only obstacle to success is not that we cannot change ourselves, nor the difficulties of change, but that we should not change. As long as others or other things change, you will see how well we adjust ourselves.

Now is the time to start. With your own tips, you can live a great new life. You will no longer feel embarrassed by feeling inferiority, and you will decide to play the original role of inferiority like a person who is successful and happy. Although you are not sure at first, you will find that you are no longer driven by it, but you are using it, and you will be better off in the future.
