I always say I want to start losing weight, but after a few months there is no progress, losing weight has become a mantra;
I vowed to go to bed and get up early to study hard, but it was already two o'clock in the morning after swiping the phone accidentally;
Determined to save money to realize my tiny dream, but the monthly repayment of Huabei still;
Always talk about my ideals with others, but never have the motivation to realize them.
I think such people are a minority, but I didn't expect most of them to be such people. You and me and most people around you set goals every day and stay at the level of talking every day.
In the final analysis, this is due to the weak execution. After a long time, the distance is naturally widened.
Mark Twain said something very interesting. He said:
"If you earn a comfortable sleep, you will sleep well; if you earn a good appetite, you will eat very well when you eat. No matter what, you have to earn one thing well and honestly before you can enjoy it. . You must not enjoy first and then earn it."
This sentence actually explains the importance of execution very well. In this world, we want too much, but there is very little that we really do. At any time, we can find out the reasons for being high-sounding, and This reason is nothing more than finding a new excuse for my laziness.
What is real execution?
Real execution is not impulsive decisions, but strong actions and long-term persistence.
If you want to get something, you will work hard, and you will not shrink back in the face of setbacks. If you keep working hard, you will eventually achieve the desired success.
✪ People who do not have the ability to execute are destined to accomplish nothing. What qualifications do those who dare not even start to be favored by fate?

The movie "Shawshank's Redemption" should be familiar to everyone. In fact, it explains the problem of execution. The young banker Andy was wrongly killed his wife and lover, and then arrested and imprisoned.
Except for himself, perhaps no one believes that he was wronged. Then the question is, whether to wait for death in prison or regain freedom, Andy faces a difficult choice.
If you accept the arrangements of fate, then just stay honestly, wasting all the beautiful youth of your life in a dark cell, if you want to regain freedom, then you must try to fight for it.
After thinking about it, he decided to regain his freedom, but in a heavily guarded prison, it is hard to get freedom, but he is not deterred.
Finally, he thought of digging a tunnel to escape. This may be the only way out. To dig a tunnel, you need tools. So he gained the trust of the other party by helping the warden to do the dark accounting, and then obtained these tools, and then started. Own long escape plan.
He quickly put it into action, but this is only half of the execution power. It is actually very simple to put into action, but it is very difficult to persist for a long time. If it is not for a strong belief in the heart, many people may give up halfway.
Andy knew that the plan to escape this time was too risky. If discovered, he might immediately lose his life, but because of his deep desire for freedom, he chose to persevere hard.
Finally, with this super execution ability, he finally regained his freedom.
✪ Many times, people and people are the same, with two shoulders carrying the same head, but why are they different in the end? This should be the reason for execution.
Some people think about it, but don't do it;
Some people did it, but couldn't persist;
Some people think about it, do it, and stick to it. Success will come naturally.

There is a person who is very interested in painting, but he has not dared to start. This drag has lasted for more than ten years, and he is now in his 40s. Once he told a friend:
"I like drawing very much, but I haven't started, do you think it's too late for me to learn?"
The friend did not answer him directly, but said:
"No matter what, 50 years old will eventually come."
The words of my friend awakened him instantly. In fact, it is true. No matter whether you want it or not, time will still pass.
Isn't it true that we always feel that the start is late, but is it really late in nature? It's not that I don't want to take action, and I'm afraid I won't be able to persist. In the final analysis, this is a question of execution.
✪ If you have a strong execution ability, then there is nothing you can't do in this world.
If you want to take a postgraduate entrance examination, then work hard to start studying and persevere. Even if you lose in the first year, there is still next year and time, just for fear that you will not act.
If you want to lose weight, just stop your mouth and open your legs and stick to it. Don't just talk about it, because after a long time, you will slacken off. Even if you start to lose a little bit, there is always a time to lose weight.
San Mao once said:
"Waiting and hesitation are the most ruthless killers in this world."
You may have been waiting for the right time to start, but I think this is a cowardly performance. We are still young, why not let ourselves go crazy?
Barnivik, the former chairman of ABB, once said:
"5% of a company's success lies in strategy and 95% in execution."
Acting at the first time, solving problems, grasping the details, and implementing the strategy to the fullest is the way for a company to survive.
This is the case for enterprises, why not people?
The key to a person's success depends on his execution ability, which determines his life height.

The difference in execution power will naturally widen the gap between people. From the beginning to the end, the difference is far, which will make you regret the original.
Therefore, improving execution is your only bargaining chip against others, so how do you improve?
I think there are three main aspects:
1. Plan and act first, think more about what should be done, and less about what can be done.
Many people may think that execution is to do it right away. This is actually wrong. Before doing something, you must plan well and consider the way to do it instead of doing it blindly.
Don't take the time to think about what you should do and try to improve yourself.
2. Do a good job of time management and be your own master.
We don't have to compare ourselves with others, as long as we can do our own thing well, time management is very important, which has a great impact on execution.
If you want to lose weight by running, then you have to set a time, how many meters in how long, instead of running without consideration, otherwise it will only waste your time and greatly reduce your mobility.
3. If you want to be successful, you must do the small things thoroughly.
Many people in life are dismissive of small things. They don’t know that sometimes a small thing may affect the overall situation. All big things are composed of countless small things. When you do the small things thoroughly, then the big things will naturally be done well. .
No matter what, if you plan to do something, then you will persevere hard after you put it into action. I believe that God will not let you down. There is no way to go in vain in life, and every step counts.

There is such a sentence in "Reject mediocrity":
Why are we jealous of others' success so often? It is precisely because I know that it is not easy to do something and I am unwilling to do it, and then I become angry with my laziness and incompetence, which can only be balanced by jealousy and slander.
In this world, everyone is constantly growing. Many times we think that great ideas are the most valuable things in the world. We talk to everyone around us, but we never have the determination to implement them. With the slightest plan, the dream will become a dream after a long time.
I saw a sentence on the Internet and thought it all: "idea is the least valuable thing in the world, and execution is always the most important."
What determines the height of life is never your high talk, but the execution ability that you just do. Without execution, everything is zero.
✪ The first key to success is to execute hard.
When you work hard to implement, you will definitely shorten the gap with others, and you will definitely discover the beauty of this world.
