Success is the accumulation of countless small goals!
In the late 19th century, there were two young men in the United States, White and Jack, who followed the dream of getting rich overnight and came to the Western Gold Rush.
White hoped to quickly find a big gold mine to live the life of a rich man. To this end, he bought a lot of gold mining tools, recruited hundreds of workers, and prepared to do a big job.
However, Jack only bought some simple tools and recruited two companions to prepare to wash the gold ore left by others.
The two people had very different ideas, so they had to go their separate ways.
Two years later, when they met again, White still couldn't find a big gold mine. The funds were almost spent, but he was not discouraged, and believe that the longer the waiting time, the bigger the harvest will be.
In addition to “ picking up the waste” every day, Jack also set a small target, mining a certain amount of gold ore every month. At this time, Jack had accumulated a large amount of money. He lent some money to White, and White was very grateful.
After a few more years, when the two men met again, Jack was already a big gold mine boss, and White could only rely on working life. In the face of old friends, White was full of shame.
If the goal is too big and it will not reach for a long time, it will make people feel lost and lose the motivation to move forward. According to the big goal, setting a series of small goals can be realized one by one. The joy of success will inspire people to work harder and achieve big goals.
In psychology, there is a famous apple-picking theory: a person who is eager to succeed should always try to pick the "apple" that needs to be able to jump to get it.
However, if apple seems to be out of reach, then you must redefine it and give yourself an apple that you can pick. Only by accumulating their own strength can they continue to pick up those apples that are getting higher and higher.
Small goals, making big goals more visible and easier to achieve .
To go to the big goal, we must start with a small goal. Success is the accumulation of countless small goals.
