Work and success (?)
But this is not possible! - laughed Alice -
I can not do what is impossible!
It is a pity, - the queen sincerely became sad
when i was your age i
could do the impossible
several times before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll "Alice in Wonderland"
On Habré has accumulated enough topics that can be briefly baptized: "work a lot, there will be happiness," "do not work and you will have happiness." Moreover, supporters of both one and the other position give reasonable arguments. I will not take the responsibility to judge who is right, but I propose to think a little differently.
David Schwartz is a famous author. In his book, Art of Thinking Large-Scale, he gives such an example. At one of the trainings, having gathered a group of people, he asked them a question: “What should be done, that in a few years it was possible to completely abandon prisons”. In response, statements like: “this is impossible”, “it will be a mess”, “gangsters - prisons”, “anarchy” and so on. Schwartz calmly replied: “I did not ask you if this is possible. I asked: WHAT IS NECESSARY TO DO to get rid of prisons. ” After half an hour of useless controversy, the group finally heard the question and when they began to look for an answer to it, according to Schwartz, very sensible sentences began to appear that could well be used in practice.
What does this example tell us? He answers several questions at once. We will deal with some of them.

You can often hear: "I'm so unhappy, I'm not at all successful at work ...". Question: “What do you mean by the word success?” As a rule, the answer is: “I do not have a car (apartment, decent salary ...)”.
See the difference? A person answers not the question that was asked of him, but his own. In fact, he answered the question what was missing.
And what is your understanding of success? A lot of money? Cool car? Cottage overlooking the sea? A strong family? Controlling shares of mega-holding?
Question: what exactly? Which is exactly the heap?))) Which is exactly the machine? Audi, BMW, Mercedes, which model? If we ourselves do not know what we want, how can we achieve this? !!!
From my experience I can safely say: if you want to achieve something, the first step is to really understand WHAT you want. And when you want. Why? Why so stress the brain with silly dreams? Answer: because, like in the case with that group, at the training, when we clearly imagine what we need, our brain begins to generate patterns for achieving this goal.
I hope that I can write a continuation of this post. Just one so much information does not fit.
