Kazuo Inamori: My strength comes from deeply rooted beliefs

Pour your energy into a field, drill deeply, and you can understand the truth of life, understand the world, and everything.

A monk, through repeated monasticism, has honed his noble personality. Such a monk, even if he is involved in areas unrelated to the teachings of self-cultivation, can speak profound truths; others, such as painting, writing books, etc., anyone who is proficient in one art will have the same cultivation and reach the same state.

They despise the specific work they do, lack patience, doubt whether the work at hand is really meaningful, and often ask their superiors to assign more important work. In fact, no matter what such a person asks him to do, he will not be satisfied and will always refuse to do his best. Knowledge is broad and shallow, it seems to understand everything, but only understand a little bit of everything, which is equivalent to knowing nothing and having no strength.

Once you are negative and discouraged, you will be immediately knocked down. In actual combat, you don't have time to think about swordplay routines such as "now aim your sword at the other person's eyes" and "now hold your sword flat and move your feet forward with your feet on the ground." This fear makes me dare not be "negative and discouraged".

If a person is "negatively discouraged", it proves that he still has "room for himself" and has spare time to feel "negative discouragement". And I don't have this kind of idle work at all, this is my experience.

If, among those of you, there are people who don't spend their days "extremely seriously" as I say. Then I suggest that you must try to be "tough" on yourself and "push yourself to the end of the road".

My strength comes from beliefs that are deeply rooted in my heart. There should be many people who are strong because of their beliefs. Firmly implementing the right path requires a lot of courage. Conversely, the slightest uneasiness or hesitation in one's own behavior will immediately shake one's self-confidence, and then one will lose one's courage and one cannot be strong.

I heard that 99% of doctors, when their family members suffer from serious illnesses, especially when they need to undergo major surgery, often refuse to come to the diagnosis and treatment themselves and refuse to operate in person.

There are many reasons for this, but most of them are: when performing difficult surgeries on relatives, doctors are afraid that their hands will not listen to them; or they are afraid of mood swings that will cause the operation to fail; they are afraid of being affected by feelings, thinking that it is more reliable to let colleagues do it than themselves, and so on.

However, this is not true. If you are really strong enough, have real courage, and have confidence in your own skills, then you should not entrust your loved ones to others, but should do it yourself and do a high level of surgery.

One of the secrets of "really powerful" is having the courage to be completely objective and realistic. Another secret is to have a firm belief that goes beyond personal feelings and to believe in your own abilities.

There was an ancient adage among sailors: "Under a board is hell.". Not satisfied with the status quo, cultivate the mental strength and willpower to constantly challenge your own limits.

Only those who can overcome themselves will not be afraid of any hardships and devote all their energy to the success of their careers. In this era of prosperity, to open up a new way of life, it is necessary to have the courage to push yourself to the limit and a strong spiritual strength.

As ordinary people, we often face failure. Sometimes after introspection and then encounter failure again, you will be angry and anxious about it. Don't be sullen by this sensual annoyance. In life, anxiety, failure and other annoying things often occur.

However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to cover the water, and it is meaningless to continue to worry about regret because of failure. Long-term depression can cause heart disease, and even endanger the health of the body, so that life falls into misfortune.

Don't dwell on what has already happened, it's important to re-reflect on the failure and then put fresh ideas directly into the next step. When you encounter failure, introspection is essential. We should reflect on why we failed, and then vow in our hearts that we must avoid the same failure.

However, for life, it is not a good thing to regret failure all the time. We often worry about failure at work, but no matter how worried we are, the failed work is irreparable. Although we know that there is no point in being upset and remorseful, we still can't help but regret: "If only it could be completed smoothly." ”

The so-called "abandonment of the troubles caused by sensibility" means not to let yourself be bothered by such meaningless things anymore. This vicious circle must be cut off by stopping the self-inflicted wounds of the past. Depressed mood, worry and trouble, all do not help. The obstacles and problems encountered in life or career cannot be solved by feelings and emotions alone.

The more difficult it is, the more reason should be used. It is most important to think deeply with reason, to seek reasonable and fundamental solutions, and to devote energy to solving problems. If you have thought it through and done your best, and you have already "done your best", that is enough. As for whether the future will go smoothly, we don't have to think too much about it.

It is enough to "wait for the destiny" with the confidence of success. No matter what the outcome, don't regret your troubles, take a new step, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, embrace dreams and hopes, and respond with sincerity. That's what matters.

Hardship is the opportunity – and we should have that realization. Suffering can educate and promote human growth. On the contrary, people are often prone to make mistakes when things are going well.

Although prosperity and decline are the norm in the world, poignant tragedies are still staged repeatedly, and abnormalities seem to become normal.

Both suffering and success are tests for us. Suffering does not go on endlessly, and of course luck does not last forever. Don't forget your form when you are proud, don't be depressed when you are frustrated, and work hard every day, which is more important than anything else. In the test of victory and setback, every day is a desperate effort, which in itself is breeding the seeds of success.

In the long journey of life, you will experience a variety of failures, difficulties and setbacks, but all of this is also a rare opportunity to temper your mind, prompting you to work hard and realize your dreams through honest efforts.
