Better life with positive mental attitude

in #life6 years ago (edited)

I don't whether you've heard of this story about the "three drywall workers":

Three workers were drying wall, and they were asked what they were doing.

The first man said angrily: "Drying wall, can't you see?"

The second man smiled and said: "We are building a tall building."

The third man beamed: "We are building a new city."

16 years later, The first man was still doing the same job, The second man became an engineer, and the third man became the boss of the two people.

From this story, we can interpret, having a positive mental attitude, can play a great role on this process of success. So what exactly is a positive mental attitude? Why should you have a positive mental attitude?

Why do we have to be diligent on the basis of a positive mental attitude?

On Wikipedia, positive mental attitude is defined as:

The philosophy that having an optimistic disposition in every situation in one's life attracts positive changes and increases achievement.
But with only positive mental attitude, you can’t completely be successful: We have to have both positive mental attitude and actions in order to have the opportunity to achieve our success.

Why? Let's go back to the first example of the drywall worker.

The first worker answered angrily, and the second worker answer with a smile, and then the third worker answered with a beaming smile, and we could see the difference in their mentality. It was a progressive degree of mental positivity.

But a different positive mental attitude does not completely shape their final, disparate outcome: the worker, the engineer, and the boss of the first two. And this story doesn't tell us directly whether the three of them are diligent and different in their diligence.

Imagine if the second worker is merely keeping a positive mental attitude, however, it is difficult to acquire the engineer's title in a few years, but to become a happy drywall worker, without learning engineering-related knowledge on this basis, or to accumulate relevant experience in the project, or to prepare the relevant qualification test.

This is especially true for the third worker, if he just be a worker whole day, and not to understand the essence of building technology, not to socialize, not to do a good job in financial planning, not to seize the opportunity to become the boss, then he will only be a happy worker.

Positive mental attitude is to help us change the way we think, and explore the point of view, because the maintenance of a positive mental attitude, our vision will not be narrow, our mentality will not be limited. On this basis, we can have more choices for our next step or even next action, so that our efforts can be more effective. The continuous refinement action, in one or several directions of deep plowing, is to deepen the success of the catalyst and propeller. This is like Edison's famous saying:

None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
