The ability to face survival challenges: Knowing how to find answers in reality 1. Adopt the right mindset and dare to confront reality For those who constantly complain about the harshness of reality, an unsatisfying reality acts like a prison in life – it restrains both one’s actions and mind, leading them to often give in to the pressures of reality and become weaklings； Those who truly achieve great things dare to challenge reality and hone their survival skills within it – such are the strong! Here, we can derive an experience for achieving great things: adapt to changes in reality by swiftly changing one’s own perspectives. Most importantly, it requires us to have a sharp mind and keen eyes, and to be attentive to what goes on in life. Under real-world pressures, if you can change your mindset and adapt in a timely manner, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort. Our bottom-up approach is inseparable from reality; as reality changes, we must adjust our concepts, ideas, actions, and goals accordingly. It is essential for survival. It would be most valuable if we had a way to change reality to suit the needs of the development of our abilities and desires. 2. It helps you develop strong self-control. Self-control means overcoming desires, avoiding becoming impatient when faced with pressure, and not losing your temper at the slightest thing that doesn’t go as planned. One cannot control others unless one first controls oneself. As long as a person has the goal of achieving something great, knows what they want, takes action, tells themselves not to give up, then success is only a matter of time. If you encounter troubles or obstacles along the way, face them, resolve them, and then move forward – that way, problems won’t keep piling up. As you climb step by step, never say \"no\" to yourself, because saying \"no\" might cause your determination to waver, leading you to give up on your goals and thus wasting all your efforts. The hardest opponent for a person is oneself; this means that the biggest obstacle to one’s success does not come from the outside world, but from within. Only by controlling yourself can you control stress and make it yield to you. 3. Put emotions in the box of reason. Resistance often arises gradually, but its impact on a person’s life is significant; this impact is evident in many small things. We should strive to eliminate our negative emotions, as they not only cause physical and mental harm to us, but can also become obstacles on our path to success. For your success, you must put your emotions in a box of reason; you must adapt to others and to the circumstances. Otherwise, you are doomed to fail and to be eliminated. 4. Solitude can unleash the power of thinking. If you know how to be alone, those who achieve great things are those who are good at being alone—and using that time to unleash the power of thinking. Insecurity can weigh down a person like a huge mountain, silencing them forever, or it can act as a propeller, providing strong momentum. Taking the lead over others can create a mindset of success. When alone, you should think deeply, rather than being preoccupied with trivial matters. 5. Pressure is the best motivator. Those who aspire to achieve great things often face greater pressure due to their lofty goals. But to achieve great things, one must be able to withstand such pressure and use it as a driving force for moving forward in life. People’s best work is often done in the face of adversity. To do something, one must also know what not to do. What needs to be done must be done well, and what shouldn’t be done must not be done at all. What is gained is not necessarily something to be rejoiced about, and what is lost is not entirely a bad thing.
Reply to 1# ybjqbgs: 6. One must adapt to changes in order to find a way forward. By keeping up with the times, being flexible, and adjusting one’s plans accordingly, those who achieve great things learn to adapt to reality. Without excellent skills in interacting with others, a mind that can consider all possible situations, and the ability to adapt flexibly, it is simply impossible to manage complex situations, and it will be very difficult to achieve great things. When a person can see their current situation clearly, their mindset becomes much more balanced; they are able to view the world objectively, understand it, and adjust their behavior accordingly. 7. Confidence is a strong pillar in life. Those with high confidence have greater adaptability, whereas those with low confidence have less adaptability. People with relatively severe lack of confidence often exhibit various physical and mental symptoms, such as withdrawal, fear of interacting with others, extreme speech patterns, and pessimism and disappointment. The more experience one has in achieving success, the stronger one’s confidence becomes. The fewer opportunities one has to practice self-success, the weaker their confidence becomes, leading to severe feelings of inferiority. The 19th-century thinker Emerson said, “Believe that you ‘can’, and you will be invincible.” ”Napoleon said, “There is no such thing as impossible in my dictionary.” ” 8. Focus your energy on your strengths. Most people’s lives remain at the level of eating just to eat, taking transportation just to get around, working just to work, and returning home just to get there. Those who achieve great things and those who don’t differ in just small actions: spending 5 minutes reading every day, making one more phone call, putting in a little more effort, showing appreciation at the right moment, paying more attention to presentation, doing more research, or conducting one additional experiment in the laboratory. Before taking action, you already know whether you are competent enough for this task. There is no excuse for why you still can’t handle a job after such a long time. No matter what you want to achieve, you must force yourself to improve your abilities in order to reach that goal. Practice hard*, practice hard*, and in the end, it’s still practice hard*! Never give up learning*, and be sure to apply what you have learned in daily life. 9. Concentrate on doing one thing well. If most people focus their efforts on a single task, they can accomplish it well. The most successful businessmen are those who can make decisions quickly and decisively; they always set a clear goal first and then focus their efforts wholeheartedly on achieving that goal. Focus on just one thing at a time, devote yourself wholeheartedly to it and earnestly hope for its success, so that your mind won’t feel exhausted. Imagine the task you need to do as a small drawer within a long row of drawers. Don’t keep thinking about all the drawers; focus your attention on the one you have already opened. Everyone has different ways of behaving and handling things; it can be said that each person has their own approach, their own way of achieving success through their own methods. Numerous facts show that some people are simply too confident, believing that the methods they know will solve any problem, without realizing that these methods often fail to work at all. Therefore, they always feel that they are not getting closer to their goal of success, but in fact are moving further away from it.
