Features: Successology is like a universal key in life, helping you unlock the locks on your life's path. To master this key, you first need to open the window of your heart. This book not only analyzes the principles of success but also incorporates many of the author's personal experiences and insights into life. It can help young Chinese people establish a correct attitude toward life and thinking methods, enhance their psychological resilience in facing various life challenges, find their right direction forward, and avoid some "stubborn" thoughts and behaviors.
This book is written by a domestic professor who teaches "Successology Research" to doctoral and master's students, drawing on his rich overseas experiences from studying in the United States, Australia, and the Netherlands, as well as his cross-regional life and work experiences in Beijing, Shanxi, Guangdong, and Shanghai. He addresses the psychological words of wisdom about life and success to university students who are the same age as his own son.
Professor Lan Yisheng's teachings include:
- "Heavenly talent will surely find its use, unless one dares not to use it."
- "Do not bear malice toward others, but always be willing to help."
- "Self-awareness is valuable, but self-confidence is even more so."
- "There are always more solutions than problems, and courage should be greater than difficulties."
- "Happy learning leads to better results, and happy work brings greater achievements."
- "Develop strengths before addressing weaknesses, and prioritize leveraging strengths over mitigating weaknesses."
- "Combine criticism with self-criticism less, and praise with self-praise more."
