basic training part 2 writing down for success part2

Writing down is not only a basic training for an individual person, but also for an organization. For a person, if you feel your life is worthwhile and you want to see how you are improving yourself little by little, you can write everything you have thought of. This is very important, just suppose such a scene: you are 80 years old and very successful, sitting in the chair and reading your diary or your record of every little of past with smile. What a happy feeling! Now before we introduce "writing down" in detail, we should first make a decision on living a better life, please answer me such a question: will you please live a different life which is full of interest, happiness, progress, calm and success? If your answer is yes, let’s go on.

A saying has said: The palest ink is better than the best memory. To write down is not only for remembering things clearly, but also a procedure of self promise. Every day, every time, we have numberless ideas coming to our mind. If you don’t pay special attention to the important ideas of them, you will ignore them for a short while or a relatively longer time. Perhaps it is such a perfect plan, a great idea or a colorful dream. What you will ignore will perhaps ignore you first!

Then, what is the meaning of "writing down":

1)Using clearest words, describing in number is better;

2)Visualization what you have written down. Using Picture or graph will have a better effect;

3)Put the words or picture or graph through in places where you can see at any time. Do you remember in the first part of basic training that we have said to repeat these success action many many times, you will have shorter space towards success.

For any organization, there are two important rules: one is to write down the future dreams, mission, and announcement of this organization. The writing will be attractive, simple and in keeping with the 3 steps above. Through writing, future dreams will be changed to detail slogans; everyone will find them, watch them and read them. At last, an individual culture will be formed; the other is to write down the institution and plan, including the measures of rewards and punishment, rules of game etc. put these out and make everyone know how can one person do and how cannot.

Now we return to "writing down" for individual. I have written 12 goals for the next 10 years, and I have made 4 copies which were pasted on the walls of study room, bedroom, toilet and kitchen. Every day, I spend most of the time in the study room, whenever I am tired, I look at the list of 12 goals, read it and image I have achieved these goals. But other time is also important for me to repeat this list. First, when I wake up, I can see one list on the wall toward the bed; when I am in toilet, I can repeat again and it is the same when I am washing-up. All the time in one day is limited, we must hold up every minute to complete our goals. What will give us most motion or power? The beautiful scene or situations we will get when some goal completed.

I have several successful experiences with doing this. One of them is how I successfully pass the entrance examination or Ph.D. In our school, we have a small ratio to be accepted. All the time left for me to preparation is only 20 days. I have to go over English, abstract algebra, advanced software engineering. That summer I have also met with some miserable things because I would part with a girl because some reasons and choose another girl. I am feeling I have hurt the first girl deeply and I could not help thinking of the thing. But I decided that I must pluck up and pass the examination. I wrote the words " I passed the entrance examination successfully" on my desk, wall, kitchen, bed, pillow, toilet etc. I locked myself alone in the room, read aloud this goal before I started reviewing. Whenever I found I was napping, I would stand up to read the goal loudly. Finally I achieved this goal with a high grade. Useing less time while achieving higher mark also made me more confident. It was writing down what I wanted that made me successfully get it.

Writing down clearly will make us clearly know what are the important and standing for our values. During all the time arrangement, time spent on important things will make us live peacefully and actively and at the same time, it will bring us a great sense of achievement. All of these are beginning from writing down something needed
