Features: The essence of action is to give. To succeed, you must understand the principle of giving, and only through action can you achieve what you want. In the workplace, action is your entire performance. There is a fable that is very profound: Two men, A and B, came to the underworld after death. The King of Hell reviewed their record of merits and said, "You two have not committed great sins in your past lives, so you are allowed to be reborn as humans. However, now there are only two types of people you can choose from: those who give and those who take. In other words, one must live a life of giving and receiving, while the other must live a life of taking and receiving." After telling them to make a careful choice, A thought that taking and receiving meant enjoying the fruits of others' labor, which was too comfortable. So he said first, "I want to live a life of taking and receiving." At this point, B had no choice but to express his willingness to live a life of giving and receiving. The King of Hell heard this and made his judgment: "A will live a life of taking and receiving and be reborn as a beggar, constantly asking for and accepting alms from others; B will live a life of giving and receiving and be reborn as a rich man, practicing charity and helping others." As you can see, giving represents wealth, while taking represents poverty. Take action quickly and demonstrate your "wealth" through your actions. In the workplace, action is the action of building your life's dock. The source of action power is usually why people cannot take action—it is still the old problem—they don't know exactly what they want. Suppose you are determined to buy a blue Dunhm suit today, worth 35,000 yuan. If you go to the store and see it, you will buy it immediately. But if you are not sure, you will hesitate and cannot take action immediately. A person cannot break through or take action because they do not understand the source of action power. In fact, every person's action can usually be summarized into two points: First, to pursue happiness; second, to escape pain. A speaker once asked the audience at a speech, "Those who want to succeed, please raise your hands?" They all raised their hands. The speaker said, "Those who want to increase their income, please raise your hands?" They also raised their hands. The speaker asked, "Those who want to be happier and have a more fulfilling family, please raise your hands?" They still raised their hands. The speaker then asked, "Those who have already achieved all of that, please raise your hands?" Most people did not raise their hands. The speaker asked, "Since you want it so much, why haven't you achieved it?"
A worked as a white-collar employee in a joint venture company, feeling that his ambitions were not recognized by his superiors. He often thought, "If only I could meet the CEO one day and have a chance to show off my talents!" A's colleague B also had the same idea, but he went further—he found out the CEO's work hours and calculated when he would likely enter the elevator. He then took the elevator at that time, hoping to meet the CEO and get a chance to say hello. Their colleague C went even further. He thoroughly studied the CEO's career path, learned about the CEO's alma mater, personality, and the issues he cared about, and carefully designed a few simple but impactful opening lines. At the calculated time, he took the elevator and after a few greetings with the CEO, he finally had a long conversation with him. Soon after, he secured a better position.
