"Nothing is more unbearable than wandering aimlessly." This is a famous saying in Homer's epic Odyssey. Golf coaches always say "the direction is the most important". Actually, life is not like this. However, in real life, many people are doing things without direction and living a life without goals. This life without direction is doomed to failure.
For golfers, the direction is the position of the door, that is, the next ball to be played; For life, direction is the goal, and it is a small goal that is gradually realized and completed in the direction of long-term goals.
Yale University has conducted such a survey for more than 20 years: at first, the researchers asked the students who participated in the survey such a question: "Do you have a goal?" For this question, only 10% of the students confirmed that they had a goal. Then the researcher asked the students the second question: "If you have a goal, have you written down your goal?" This time, 4% of the students answered yes. Twenty years later, researchers from Yale University conducted a follow-up survey of students who participated in the survey all over the world, and found that those who wrote down their life goals in black and white far surpassed other peers in terms of career development and living standards. If nothing else, the wealth of these 4% people actually exceeds the sum of the remaining 96% people.
God is fair, it gives us the same sky, the same sunshine, the same rain and dew, the same 24 hours a day. The key for successful people to realize their dreams in life is that they have found the goal of progress at that moment in life. Although they will encounter all kinds of unpredictable setbacks and hardships on their way forward, with the direction, no matter how big the wind and rain, they can't stop their courage to move forward. At all times and in all countries, countless celebrities and people with lofty ideals have set aside the clouds and achieved their goals under the guidance of the direction of life. When the famous physicist Einstein was five years old, his father gave him a compass. When he found that the compass always pointed in a fixed direction, he was very surprised and felt that there must be something hidden behind this phenomenon. He stubbornly wants to know why the compass can guide the direction. Since then, he has taken the study of electromagnetism and other physical phenomena as his life direction, and has been persistently pursuing this goal, eventually becoming the standard bearer of the world physical science.
The direction of life varies from person to person. Finding the right direction is to set reasonable goals according to our actual situation, not unrealistic dreams; Only by finding the right direction can we move steadily along the track in the journey of life; Only by finding the right direction can we realize our greatest dream with the strength of our whole life.
The direction of life needs to be found by heart. I hope everyone can find their own direction.
