Learn to tap your potential

Learn to tap your potential

An American named Steven, who had been unable to walk because of an accident, had lived on a wheelchair for 20 years. He felt that his life had no meaning, and drinking became the best way for him to forget to suffocate and pass the time. One day, he came out of the pub and went home in a wheelchair as usual, but he encountered three robbers to grab his wallet.
He screamed and desperately resisted, and the looted robbers set fire to his wheelchair. The wheelchair burned quickly, and the desire to survive made Steven forget that his legs could not walk. He immediately stood up from the wheelchair and ran a street in one breath. Afterwards, Steven said: "If I didn't escape, I would be burned and even burned. I forgot everything, jumped up and tried to escape. When I finally stopped, I found myself going. Now, Steven has found a job, he is in good health, walks like a normal person, and travels everywhere. A pair of legs that could not be moved for 20 years stood up at a critical juncture. This can't help but ask us: What factors have caused Steven to produce this "extraordinary power"? Obviously, this is not just the instinctive reaction of the body. It also involves the tremendous power that the inner spirit of man erupts at a critical moment. The famous writer Colin Wilson wrote in a passionate style: "In our subconscious, there is a 'excess energy storage box' near the surface of daily life consciousness, which stores the energy to be used. It's like the money stored in a personal account in the bank, and it can come in handy when we need to use it."
The objective data provided by modern psychology has made us horrified to discover that the vast majority of normal people use only 10% of their potential. It can be said that everyone has a "potential gold mine" waiting to be excavated. Some students may ask, how can we successfully tap their potential?
Learning to correctly attribute potential requires motivation, and this kind of stimulation is a process. In the process, many factors will affect whether we can successfully stimulate the potential. Whether it is properly attributed is one of the key factors.
Many students know that they are not stupid than other students, but when they fail to learn, they will blame their ability, even if they have achieved good results, they only think that they are lucky. This will make the students feel inferior or have a good fortune, but they lack the enthusiasm for learning and are not willing to invest time and energy in their studies. This negative attribution of learning has caused students to ignore their enormous intellectual potential.
Positive attribution is what we all need to learn. When learning progress, it can be attributed to “your effort”, which will stimulate your desire to succeed further and the motivation to continue your efforts; you can also make these advances as a manifestation of your own ability, thus making yourself A certain level of satisfaction and confidence in success. If there are occasional failures, we can also attribute the failure to a task that is too heavy or bad luck in a light smile, so that you can “excuse yourself”, gain a psychological balance, and encourage yourself to work harder. Overcome difficulties. However, it is forbidden to have a chance to rely on luck for future study.
Developing good habits is like an energy regulator. Good habits spontaneously make our potential guide thinking and behavior in the direction of success. Bad habits are the opposite. Good habits motivate the potential necessary for success, and bad habits corrode the potential treasures that help us succeed.
There is an experiment that is well known: the frog is suddenly thrown into the hot boiling water, and it will jump out quickly, but if the frog is heated slowly in cold water, it will swim comfortably in the iron pot. Until the end was burned to death. In fact, people often indulge in the gradually hot water like frogs, and are bound by bad habits and eaten. Even more frightening is that even we don't even know that we have a lot of bad habits. Nowadays, many middle school students have the habit of watching TV when they go home. They unwittingly breed inertia in sensory pleasure and lose the motivation to learn. Some students rely on their parents to lose their independent desires in their love. The person loses the ability to analyze and think independently in the superficial satisfaction of the high scores of the exam... All of these are "chronic poisons" that prevent us from releasing our potential on the road to success.
Try it out, choose a quiet night, take out a piece of paper, write your usual way of thinking and behavior on paper, and then classify these ways of thinking and behavior according to good habits and bad habits. Perhaps, you will be surprised to find that you have so many bad habits and don't know. To develop good habits, we need to start by breaking these bad habits. With good habits, we will be inspired by the frogs that are suddenly put into the boiling water, and will always be able to maintain the vitality of life, and will not tend to be mediocre and decadent in doing nothing.
