追求卓越是永不放棄的旅程

 

  我在學校七樓有一間小而美的辦公室，我樂在工作，我無時不在工作，即使假日也是一樣。最後好像上天給我靈感，我知道該怎麼自處。

  追求卓越的人，不只是關心短時間的放鬆，還關注長久的滿足，生活中會有起起伏伏，但是能夠享受旅途中的美一天，問題是我們想要甚麼樣的生活？要記住其中最重要的，一個追求卓越的人，不會放棄自己的雄心；但是一個追求卓越的人也不會放棄自己的旅程。追求卓越的人，不僅僅不會放棄整個旅程，或者整個成果，他們常常獲得更高的成就。

  但是沒有完美的人，對每個人來說失敗是不可避免的。追求完美的人只專注於失敗；追求卓越的人，則發現路途上每一步都有成功的機會。

  持續的自我提升，不是直線向上，而是旋轉向上。長久來看追求卓越的人往往取得更好的成就，追求卓越的人比完美主義者來得快樂。首先，追求卓越的人享受持續成長，有所偏離，有所中斷，也有所修整。當我們被失敗所困擾的時候，我們就不會付諸行動。如果我相信自己，如果我相信我會成功，如果我有過去跌倒之後又爬起來的經歷，那我就更可能成功。成功沒有別的方式，「運氣的因素」，比別人有更多運氣的原因，似乎是一件很神祕的事情，其實是可以用科學方法解釋的。其中一個有更好運氣的方法，就是嘗試新事情，小事情，即使是課後去餐廳的路，找一條和你每天所走的那條路，有些不一樣的路線，這些小事就可以改變我們的生活，這些稍微脫離實際的方式，能帶來更多的幸運，因為我們開始看見以前沒見過的東西。

committed the excellence not give up on the journey

  I work up in the seventh floor for room in Taipei Fuhsing have just cozy little office  that is what used to be the addict. I was working on with me everywhere I went including on vocation which actually turned out to be a Godsend because I had the idea about how to begin the work by starting.

  A person committed excellence, is not just about temporary relief, but about lasting satisfaction. Yes, live has the ups and downs like we all do. However, also able to enjoy the journey day to day. And the question is,” what kind of life do I want for myself”? And remember the most important thing, a person committed the excellence does not give up on being ambitions. However, a person committed to excellence does not also give up on the journey, a person who is committed to excellence, not only does not give on the journey or rather on the outcome, they actually reach higher levels of performance.

  But haven’t the perfect person, for every person, there’s inevitable failure. And a perfectionist who is obsessed with failure just focuses on that, whereas the person committed to excellence, there is possibility of success every step of the way, even in failure.

   Going, continuous improvement, not a straight line, but a spiral that goes up and up . That actually the person committed to excellence is more successful in the long run. People committed to excellence as opposed to perfectionists are happier. First of all, person committed to excellence enjoys much more sustainable approach to growth. There are deviations, there are breaks, there are recovers. When we are so obsessed with failure, we are much less likely to act. If I believe in myself, if I think I can succeed, if I have the track record to show that I get up after falling down, I’m much more likely to succeed over time. There is no other way to succeed, the “Luck Factor” one of the cause of having more luck in our live seems like a mystical thing, but actually can be shown scientifically. One of the ways of having more luck in our lives is to try new things, little things even when you walk back to your dining hall after class. Take a slightly different path, as opposed to the path that has already been taken by you every single day, these little changes in our lives, these slight deviation from a straight narrow actually lead to higher levels of luck, because we begin to see things that we haven’t seen before.
