There are many reasons for anxiety. One of the most important reasons is “anxious” – eager to reach the goal.

However, the more eager to achieve goals, the more difficult it is to achieve goals; the more anxious, the more disappointing, the more disappointing, the more anxious.

There is an habit of anxiety – there is always one or two days a week spent in anxiety.

What should I do?

The answer is: Be a “long-term”.

Speaking, this antidote is not complicated. However, it is difficult to do it even if you tell you, you still can’t do it.

For example, although I have a deep understanding of this, at some point, I still can’t change the thoughts and desires of “quick success”, and it is difficult to stop all kinds of temptations.

This is one of the reasons why most of us have very limited achievements in our lives.

If you are like me, want to achieve something and create value, then this article is not a non-reading.

Before you talk about what a “long-term” is, let’s take a look at the thinking patterns and behaviors of the “short-term thinkers”.

Three typical “short-line thinkers”

There are three very typical “short-term thinkers”: opportunists, fast-acting people, and hesitant people.

1, Opportunist

What kind of person is an “opportunist”?

It’s about those who want to make a fortune and see if they see a chance to make a fortune in the market. What they want is to skip the process of “seeding, fertilizing, and watering” and directly harvest the life of flowers and fruits; or, they want fast, free “wealth free” that can be achieved without spending effort. .

There are such “opportunists” around me. No matter what “wind” comes, he must blend in. When the house price rises, he buys a house, when bitcoin rises, he buys bitcoin, when P2P is hot, he buys P2P. But no matter which kind of investment method, he never really understood it.

So, until now, none of them has achieved the wealth they want.

2, Fastman

Frankly speaking, many years ago, I was a typical fast-actingist. I always wanted to achieve the goal of promotion and salary increase faster, and let my family live the life I expected. At that time, I was always in a hurry, but I forgot what I really should pay attention to.

I want to succeed too much because I didn’t think that my life is long enough, so the road should go step by step, and the girl should eat it bit by bit. If you want to finish the marathon in a few steps, or eat a fat man, you will inevitably bring unexpected problems, even extremely serious setbacks.

After going back and forth, I naturally understand the reason. –There is no long-term belief, but I want to succeed, so I will be eager for quick success and always be in anxiety.

So what does anxiety bring?

Anxiety can make a person feel dissatisfied with himself, the surrounding environment, and the boss, so it is difficult to sink and learn and grow, so it is very difficult to do very much work, and even produce a lot of complain. The lack of investment in the work, complaints about the boss and the environment will bring greater resistance to the short-term success that you want to achieve. In the end, the short-term success will become more and more distant, and this feeling of distant future will only be Further aggravating our anxiety.

This is a very typical enhancement loop towards “quick crash.”

Continuous evolution, and in the end you are likely to become a “serious complainer.”

It was impossible to achieve the desired goal within the time that he had envisioned, and at the same time he could not give up the goal, so he turned his attention to the complaint. In this way, day after day, I developed a bad habit of serious complaints, and eventually became a person who was labeled “love complains” by bosses and colleagues.

3. Hesitant

What is a “hesitant person”?

This type of person is actually a bit like: I want to go on a boat somewhere, but I am worried that the boat may not be able to get where I want to go, so I step on the boat and step on the ground of the dock. People who have been “joining”, “waiting”, and “unsure to live”.

This type of person can’t completely give up the place he wants to reach, and he can’t make up his mind to go on board, so he has been hesitating.

What they don’t know is: At any time, no one’s future is 100% certain. All the future is only happening when it happens, that is,At the time of “now”, there is 100% certainty.

Since it doesn’t exist, there is only one way to achieve it – that is creation. It is no easy task to create the future that you want. Many people just think that it is too simple, do not hold the belief of “long-termism”, think that it should appear immediately, so in “want to achieve the future The “hesitation” between the “and the inability to achieve immediately” has finally come to the end.

Looking around, you will find that some people are “hesitant people” at work, so they are hard to really invest when they work. They are always “waiting” for something, maybe a promise of a raise, Maybe it’s the possibility of promotion, but before they get these promises and powerful possibilities, they can’t really invest.

Some people are “hesitant people” in love, because they are afraid of not getting the love and intimacy they want, so they are afraid of fear, do not dare to love, or even if they love it, it is difficult to completely Investing, love is very “hesitating.”

Some people are simply “hesitants” in life. They can’t live in the present. They always live in the expectation of 100% certainty in the future, living in the panic and anxiety about future uncertainty.

What are the consequences of these?

Consequence 1: Can’t fully invest in the present, feel the present, enjoy the moment.

Condition 2: Can’t really create the future effectively.

The above three are the most common “short-term thinkers” of thinking and behavior, and whichever one will bring us obstacles to life’s achievements, as well as a variety of emotional distress.

Three typical long-termists

Before saying how to become a “long-term”, let us first look at what are the typical long-termists and what does long-termism bring to them?

1, long-term investment in money investment

It is said that Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky and Amazon CEO Bezos sat down to chat, and the two talked about their common idol, Buffett.

So, ChaseBasic question Bezos: “What do you think Buffett has given you the best advice?”

Bezos said: “I once asked Buffett that your investment philosophy is very simple. Why don’t you copy your approach directly?”

Buffett said: “Because no one wants to get rich slowly.”

When I first saw this sentence, there was a feeling that my head was hit.

It is true that when we set a deadline for our investment, who does not want to see a specific value of the day’s earnings every day, and who is not hoping to earn enough at the age of 30 or 40? Money?

But in fact, even if it is Warren Buffett, 99.8% of the assets are earned after he is 50 years old.

The real masters are

Similarly, even though we all know that Amazon is a great company, its stock has risen 1,000 times since its launch. But if we have the opportunity to buy this stock at the beginning of its listing, that is, in 1997, it is difficult for us to keep it until now and not sell it.

Why?

The reason is simple, because its price does not rise linearly, but it rises to today’s price after stumbling and rising and falling, and there have been more than 99% decline. From the listing to the present, a total of 22 years, and the rapid rise in stock prices is actually the last five or six years. I would like to ask, even if you bought its stock in 1997, would you really hold it and never sell it?

The real masters are

I believe that 99.99% of the answers are “can’t be done” and I am the same. Therefore, 99.99% of people, even if they know the secret of “Buffett”, can not become “Buffett.”

This is the significance of “long-termism” for investment and financial management.

2, self-growth of long-termism

In the long-term self-growth,
