Her day is a hunt for strong emotions. When she achieved a small success, she quickly switched to the next goal, without taking time to enjoy the fruits of her recent achievements. When she fails, her joy is completely extinguished, she becomes disappointed and depressed.
Her life therefore kept fluctuating like a stock market chart: full of strong emotions but lacking sustainable satisfaction.
In the office, there was another colleague, a senior investment consultant. He works in a diligent, patient and extremely consistent manner. He is not distracted by the success or failure of others. He focused on the implementation process itself, instead of just focusing on the results.
Once she asked: "Why don't you ever feel depressed or too excited but always feel at peace like that?"
He smiled: I dont race to get to the finish line as fast as possible, I walk, run and always enjoy the finish line. I am not looking for a single leap in a day, but for steady growth, even at just 1% per day. That small, steady progress creates a joy every day for me.
She listened, but still didn't want to apply that, because maybe she was used to high speed. Until one day, she wanted to but could not run. Her back was painful and painful, even her torso was in pain... She had to be hospitalized for two weeks.
At first, she went crazy because she was hospitalized for two weeks, breaking her working habits. But then she was forced to adapt. During a week, she could only do slow, regular physical therapy exercises to recover.
In the afternoon, he visited and brought a basket of fruit. He smiled: "How, now you understand the feeling of growing 1% per day?".
She sighed: "Don't joking anymore. Now I just wish I could run out of here. I am losing all the big win deals.
He shook his head: No, you are participating in the most important health transaction of your life. The yield she is looking for is not doubling her account in one day, but not having back pain tomorrow. This 1% physical growth would be more beneficial than any of the breakthrough profits she could earn in the market. You keep thinking about what I said.
Before she could answer, the doctor came in and said loudly: "You're still lying down, don't you want to wear the belt for the rest of your life!".
