Yesterday, I read a paper from Benjamin P. Hardy on "Medium" named "One Behavior Seprates The Successful From The Average".
He told us a story: A farmer is old and has two sons. One day, he called sons to see him, and told them, he wanted to pass his farm to the younger son. The older son confused and ask his Dad why? So the old farm say:"Okay, I need you to do something for me, we need more stocks, could you go to Cibi's farm and see if he has any cows for sale?"
Just a while, the older son come back, he told him father happily:"Yes, my father, Cibi has 6 cows for sale." The father thanked his son's great job.
Then, he asked his younger son to do the same thing.
A short while later, the younger son came back, he told his father:"Dad, Cibi has 6 cows for sale, and one cow will cost 2,000 rupees.If we want to buy more, Cibi will reduce 100 rupees.And Cibi said he will get some special jersay cow next week if we have not in hurry, we could wait for that. If we are urgent, he can delivery the cow tomorrow".
The father thanked the younger son too. Then turned to his older son and said,"That is why your younger son get the farm."
Do more than the requirement
Most of us, we just do the thing as someone asked, we never wanted to do more. When we are at work, our boss let us to do task,we just finish them on time. Maybe we just think," I just delivery what I am paid".
However, most successful guy are anxiously engaged in some good cause, they do not just do the job, they do the thing for right and for their growth.
So maybe next time, we you get some mission, just try to think more, delivery more, do not just finish them, you should always go beyond their request.
Do more for your future
In some competitions, they are just only one winner. This case also can use in our self growth. Most of time, you just has few options, so either you win or you are out.
Some guy just said, how to manager your leisure time decide your future where to go.
So from today, just ignore the gossip news and TV show or some internet game. Pay more attention to read a book, do more meditation.
Let us update our brain system all the time, it will be good view nearby, We will meet at the midway.
