Outlook refers to a person’s cognitive range.
The broader your cognitive range, the greater things you can accomplish, and it also determines how successful your future will be.
The greater a person’s ability, the greater the responsibility.
The greater the responsibility of a person, the greater the outlook.
The larger a person’s outlook, the greater their psychological resilience.
People with greater psychological resilience often handle situations calmly, can control their emotions well, and can objectively analyze things.
When encountering difficulties in life, some people complain about the unfairness of the world, while others easily get overwhelmed by the difficulties and lose their motivation to move forward.
These all belong to people with relatively small outlooks, who can’t get past minor difficulties, and thus will have a hard time achieving great success in the future. Even if the world is unfair, it’s still a result of their own choices.
On the other hand, people with a larger outlook understand how to change their mindset and not be confined by negative emotions.
“If things can’t be changed, then change yourself; if you can’t convince others, then convince yourself; if the mountain won’t move, then you move!”
When a company’s performance suddenly declines and the boss feels immense pressure, he decides to lay off employees.
Originally, the job was good and the income was decent. Suddenly hearing about the layoffs, the employees below felt anxious, fearing that they might be the ones to be dismissed.
Due to fear, some people lost focus at work, spent their days trying to gather information, and checking if their names were on the list.
All of these actions by the employees were actually noticed by the boss.
In the end, those who were laid off were the ones who lost focus at work and kept trying to gather information. Those who remained were the ones who didn’t care if they would be dismissed and just wanted to work diligently.
One of the employees remained calm. The boss curiously asked him, “Have you ever worried about being laid off?”
The employee calmly replied, “Layoffs are your concern, boss. My task is to work diligently.”
After hearing his response, the boss was very satisfied. Only he not only avoided being laid off but also got promoted.
When facing the same situation, those who show anger have no time to think and analyze.
Only those who remain calm have the time and energy to properly analyze the situation and come up with ways to deal with it.
The more successful a person is, the more they will maintain their composure and face things calmly.
We can’t see too much emotional fluctuation in these people. Instead, they exude an indescribable charm. When we interact with them, we feel comfortable and calm.
On the other hand, those who have lofty ambitions but achieve little find it difficult to control their temper.
A small matter can reveal their true colors, and they may even lose their temper. In that case, how large can their outlook really be? How successful can they be in the future?
A person with a broad outlook is not necessarily someone who is wealthy, holds a high position, or has great power.
A truly broad-minded person is admired for their character, we are willing to listen to them, follow them in doing something, and admire their calm attitude in handling things.
It’s these kinds of people who have a limitless future.
Tom and Jone are colleagues in a sales company. Some people think that salespeople need good eloquence and an understanding of the customer’s psychology.
Tom is like that, he has good eloquence and understands the customer’s psychology. In this regard, he is indeed better than Xiao Chen.
However, in the end, Xiao He’s sales performance is worse than Xiao Chen’s.
Because of this, Tom always complains behind Xiao Chen’s back and speaks ill of him. Although Jone is aware of Xiao He’s behavior, he doesn’t bother about it and simply focuses on doing his own work.
Such a situation can only be blamed on Tom himself.
Although he has good eloquence and understands the customer’s thoughts, he speaks ill of others behind their backs, and his reputation has always been poor.
Every time a customer doesn’t make a purchase, Xiao He’s expression turns sour. Many times, he talks badly about the customers in front of his colleagues and even argued with customers a few times.
Jone is different. Whether the customer buys or not, his attitude is always good.
When rejected by a customer, he remains calm and happily sees the customer off, considering it an opportunity to have made a new acquaintance.
Because of his attitude and outlook, these customers are willing to introduce new clients to him and take care of his business.
For this, he always says, “Actually, everyone is a potential customer of mine. Perhaps this time I was rejected, but maybe the person has someone else in mind? Maybe they will change their mind later?”
In the end, Tom is still a small-scale salesperson who can’t control his words, while Jone has already been promoted and received a raise.
A person with a broad outlook can see long-term benefits and has a little more patience and restraint.
No matter what industry you are in or how difficult your current life is, as long as you clearly know what you want and patiently work towards it, maintaining a calm state, you will definitely make yourself better and better.
A person with a broad outlook always has hope in their heart and a determined attitude in their eyes. Conceal your impulsiveness, stay calm when facing things, and the future is always worth looking forward to.
