Try to get out of the desert

There is a story about a small village in the Western Sahara Desert. It was still a poor land before it was discovered, and none of the people there had gone out of the desert. It is said that they did not want to leave there, but they tried not to go out many times. When a modern Westerner got there, after hearing about it, he was determined to do an experiment. He walked north from the race village and ended up in three and a half days.

After this incident, he finally understood that the reason why the contestants could not get out of the desert was because they did not know the Big Dipper at all. Therefore, he told a local youth to get out of the desert. As long as you take a break during the day and walk towards the star in the north at night, you can walk out of the desert. The young man did what he said, and the consequences of the three days came to the edge of the desert.

Young people have thus become the pioneers of the game. His bronze statue is erected in the center of the small town. The base of the bronze statue is engraved with a line: the new life begins with the selected goal.

I don't know what the story can bring to you. What did you think of reading this story?

In any field, people who have achieved greater success, almost all of their behaviors point to their own goals. With the goal, the inner strength will find the direction, and the untargeted drift will eventually get lost.

First, there are goals to be successful

If we want to be a top student of learning, the first step is to establish a goal of becoming a top student.

Because there is no motivation without a goal, how high a person can go depends first on whether or not to find their own goal. Only by choosing the right direction can we continue to go steady and steady, and we can hope to reach the "peak". A person has no goal, just like a ship without a rudder, can only follow the tide, can not master, and finally stranded on the beach of despair, failure, depression.

The world's accepted definition of success is that success is the gradual realization of a meaningful set goal. The goal is the essence of the soul of success, and the achievement of the goal can almost be equated with success. Napoleon Hill, the master of success, once said: "Setting a clear goal is the starting point for all achievements." Only 3% of the world's people can set their goals in life, which is the root cause of success. The reason why most people fail is because they have not set clear goals, and they have never taken their first steps.

According to one study, 5% of Americans write their personal goals on paper and inform others, while the remaining 95% do not set goals. The reason is, on the one hand, mentality, on the other hand, the method, that is, setting goals. After that, I was afraid that the target would come to an end and be laughed at by others, in exchange for frustration. Others don't know the importance of the goal, or they don't know how to set the goal. In fact, when setting a goal, the most important thing is not how to achieve the goal, but "why" to set the goal.

Taiwan University has a follow-up survey on the impact of goals on life. The target is a group of young people with similar intelligence, education and environmental conditions. The survey found that 26% have no goals; 61% have blurred goals; 9% There are clearer short-term goals; 4% have very clear long-term goals.

A 25-year follow-up survey found that their living conditions are very different. 4% of those with long-term goals have hardly changed their life goals for 25 years. They have always worked hard in the same direction; after a few years, they almost all Becoming a top-ranking success in all walks of life, among them are white entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and social elites.

9% of those with short-term goals, mostly living in the upper middle class of society, their common feature is that some short-term goals are continuously achieved, and the quality of life is rising steadily. They become indispensable professionals in all walks of life, such as doctors. Lawyers, engineers, senior executives, etc.

61% of the target-oriented people, almost living in the middle and lower classes of society, they live and work in peace, but there is no special achievement.

26% of people who have no goals, they are almost at the bottom of society, life is very unsatisfactory, often unemployed, need social assistance, and often complain about others and complain about society.

The investigators therefore concluded that the goal has a huge guiding effect on life. Success is just a choice at the beginning, what goals you choose, what kind of achievements you have, and what kind of life you will have.

Third, how to set goals

The goal is the situation or standard that you want to achieve. In the process of learning, once a goal is set, it will generate a force from the bottom of the heart and strive to move toward the goal. The goal is a kind of hope. Under the stimulation of hope, people will continue to pursue progress and progress. Therefore, in order to improve academic performance and efficiency, it is necessary to set very clear goals in the process of learning.

How to establish a learning goal that suits you?

In general, determining your own learning goals should be consistent with the following principles:

Follow your own wishes

If you believe in yourself fully, in a sense, you have the confidence and ability to engage in any activity and reach any goal. Once you dare to determine your own learning goals and invest almost all of your energy for this goal, you will be able to achieve good grades in the exam, and you will be admitted to the ideal university in the college entrance examination.

Determined by your own interests and strengths

The goal is not necessarily static. It can change with the change of one's own strength. It doesn't have to be too high or too low. There is a college entrance examination champion said: "When I was in high school, I could only guarantee myself to Wuhan University; when I was in high school, I changed to Renmin University. When I was in high school, I targeted the Peking University and struggled for it. I like this kind of catching up. In pursuit of the ideal of being ahead, in the pursuit, I learned that I am the master of free life."

Let the goal attract you forward

The goal is to enable you to overcome all kinds of setbacks and difficulties, and to fight for it, to play a good role in restraining and urging yourself.

What kind of goal should be established?

Learning objectives can be divided into two parts:

The first is the goal of learning, or the overall goal of the learning phase. If you want to know what it is for learning? For yourself, for your parents, or for others who need gratitude and gratitude? For future development, to go to college, to prove your worth? This is a very good reason. As long as you think that it can give you the power to bring the source, and urge you to develop in the direction you want, to work hard, you can be determined as your own goal. It can be produced, this is a phased goal in life.

The second part of the learning goal is to achieve the first step goal. This step goal will ultimately achieve the overall goal of learning. For example, what kind of knowledge must I master in this class, what should I include in my review this day, what effect will be achieved in this month's study, as small as one hour, as large as one month, one semester, one year, To have a goal, only in this way can we not slacken, not relax, and move toward our ultimate goal step by step.

How to set goals

Determine your long-term goals

The long-term goal of life is the result of a decade, two decades or even decades of struggle. It should be set to be more ambitious, which is conducive to the development of its potential. However, due to the existence of certain uncertain factors, life goals are not necessarily very specific, as long as there is a clear direction.

Develop medium-term goals

The long-term goal is relatively far away. Therefore, it should be decomposed into some medium-term goals. The general medium-term goal can be three to five years, and high school students can be “high school entrance examination”. Such as "what kind of university to enter after three years" and so on.

Set short-term goals

High school students can be drawn according to the academic year and the semester. Short-term goals cannot be in conflict with the school's prescribed learning tasks, and the possibility of achieving each subject's learning objectives should be considered. From the time point of view, short-term goals can be divided into school year goals, semester goals, half-semester goals, etc. From the content point of view, short-term goals can be divided into mathematics, language, foreign language and other subjects of learning objectives.

Analyze your current situation

Setting goals for the future outlines a blueprint that describes the time and requirements for reaching the final destination, but how to get started starts with its own status quo. Therefore, it is necessary to fully analyze your current situation. If you have any strengths and weaknesses, how to give full play to your strengths, overcome your deficiencies, and how your potentials in various subjects have been fully realized, how are your own subjects, how to deal with them, how to remedy them; your own perseverance and diligence How; how to learn and how to learn, how to improve, etc.

Develop an action plan

According to the actual situation of self-learning potential, academic achievement, and efforts of learning methods, the development of his own action plan is mainly to determine what measures he will take. For example, in foreign language learning, it is necessary to increase the investment in extracurricular time, choose a better English reference book, improve reading ability, and increase the amount of vocabulary; in terms of language learning, increase the amount of extracurricular reading, gradually enrich the composition and improve composition. ability.

4. Act now and start from the goal

Once our goals are established, we must act now to implement it. Sitting still does not always improve your grades. If you want to achieve good results and want to be a genius student, you can't sit still. From now on, you must "stand up! Be action! Be quick!" Because the soul that succeeds is exercise!

The most imperfect actions are also a hundred times better than the best plans that are on the shelf.

One of the most expensive costs of life is to wait for tomorrow. Don't pin your hopes on tomorrow, hope forever today, hope is now.

Act now! Only immediate action will make our dreams come true. Only immediate action will allow us to surpass ourselves and surpass ourselves.

I should also remind everyone that most people always swear before they do this, but once they get this thing done, they usually only have three minutes of heat, or "three days of fishing, two days of drying network". Therefore, we must continue to move toward the goal.

Luck excuses

At present, there is an epidemic in the society. People open their mouths and say something, "I wish you good luck!" "Your luck is good!" These languages ​​are unquestionable as auspicious words, but such words are widely spread, especially Spread to the students, use this thought to summarize the reasons for their success or frustration, it will have a negative effect, every time the test is always said: "My luck is too bad, reviewing the memory of one thing is not tested , I will test the questions that I can't do." Some students were late or smoked after being criticized by the teacher, and said with frustration: "I am unlucky, and I was touched by the teacher." There are a few people who know their luck and go to the fortune teller to draw the lottery, and believe it is true, making luck excuses more serious.

People with luck excuses often attribute the cause of setbacks or failures to personal bad luck. He does not learn from the failure of setbacks, turns defeat into victory, but waits for good luck. In addition, it seriously hindered the progress of learning and reached the point where it was impossible to cure. There are two prevention methods:

First, accept the scientific concept of causality. We all know how to grow melons and grow beans. We also often say: "One point of work, one point of harvest", you can compare successful people with those who have poor learning, to see what causes success and failure, and how much luck is played. Therefore, it is clear that the academic performance is based on hard work and good methods, and it is definitely not luck.

Second, you can't think of it for nothing. By luck will not succeed, fortune teller can not presuppose your future. Only by ourselves, by practice, by scientific methods, by our own hard work and struggle, is the right way to the road to success.

Interest excuses

Some students are not good at science, and their grades are very poor. If they ask them what they are, he will justifiably say: "I am not interested!" Some students said: "I have no interest in learning. I can't learn well, I don't. Learned!" If you don't want to learn, you don't have any interest. If you don't want to do something, you don't have any interest in something. These people often use interest as an excuse to do things that are lazy and unwilling to do things. We call it interest excuses. .

The main symptom of interest excuses is that they are unwilling to learn or are unwilling to do things. The essence is laziness: First, they are lazy, they are not willing to work hard on the content of learning, they are not willing to remember, and they are less willing to think, so they will not learn; Second, the action is lazy, unwilling to do it, not to study hard, and even the basic tasks are not completed.

It can be seen that the main reason for not being willing to learn or do things is laziness, not lack of interest.

How to prevent it?

The first thing is diligence and seriousness. If you work hard and study hard, you will gain something. If you are interested, you will no longer use excuses as no excuses. Secondly, correct understanding of interest is not innate, it is the result of hard work, interest. It is cultivated in the day after tomorrow. It is formed in practice and is constantly changing.

Diligent excuses

Diligence is an important factor in learning success, but diligence is not the only condition for success. In addition to diligence, it requires methods, internal motivation and other factors. Some students unilaterally emphasize the importance of diligence without regard to other important factors. Once the test fails, they still hold the diligence, time-consuming, dead learning, and bitter comfort. As an excuse to say, "I have tried my best. There is no way to learn well." Some students study sleepless nights, and they can hardly be called "Desperately Saburo", but the effect is not to be scrupulous, but only to comfort, "I tried my best! I am desperate! I am innocent!" We said that they are suffering Diligent excuses.

How to prevent diligent excuses?

First, diligently add methods, pay attention to learning methods on the basis of diligence, improve learning efficiency; learn to remember and think, improve the quality of learning; firmly grasp and use knowledge flexibly; strengthen self-regulation ability, play the main spirit. In short, paying attention to learning methods and independent thinking is a good medicine to prevent distress.

The second is to cultivate a strong interest in learning. Under the conditions of diligence and improvement of learning efficiency, the joy of experiential learning can enhance the interest of learning, and the interest is more effective.

The third is to stimulate deep learning motivation, which further stimulates students' high-level knowledge, creation and aesthetic needs. Taking learning as your own high-level satisfaction is an indispensable part of your life. At this time, your potential can be stimulated to the highest level. Only a hard-working excuses that blindly study and ignore the effects can be completely cured.

Being good at thinking and diligent with interest is the basic guarantee for success.

Environmental excuses

Some students do not work hard, and their learning results are not good. They do not look for reasons from their own subjective aspects. Instead, they blame the environmental conditions and push all the reasons for their failure to the objective environment. This kind of thinking is deeper and deeper and cannot be extricated. Environmental excuses, they often complain that school conditions are poor, life is poor, can not study with peace of mind; also complained that the classroom is not peaceful, the teacher can not understand the lecture; there are also students who are inferior to family conditions, not better than others to eat and wear Have money to use, etc., to treat this disease are as follows:

First, treat the environment correctly. It is difficult for people to ask the environment to adapt to themselves and only to adapt themselves to the environment. Taking a positive attitude from the external environmental conditions with a positive attitude, for my use, can not only see the poor side of the environment. The correct attitude is like the special teacher Wei Shusheng said: "Change yourself, the sky is wide and wide; blame the environment, the sky is dark, and there is no compensation." Remember to ask for help.

Second, the environment is one of the important factors in recognizing the factors that determine the success or failure of learning, but the subjective factors play a decisive role. The external environment is an external cause, and the subjective factor of human beings is an internal cause. The treatment environment excuses must first learn to find reasons from themselves, and then play their own subjective initiative to improve their learning efficiency.

Third, seek a good learning method to improve learning ability and learning efficiency. For example, learn to remember and think, cultivate positive self-concepts, enhance self-confidence and self-esteem, develop individual potential and stimulate inner motivation.
