Jack, a middle-aged man in his 40s. He originally worked as a salesman in a foreign company, and his life was very nourishing. However, the good times did not last long, the company suddenly broke out in a financial crisis, Jack did not receive his salary this month, and worse, the company went bankrupt and collapsed.
Jack was unemployed at home, and he had diligently submitted his resume to so many companies, but none of them gave him a chance.
Jack was in a state of hopelessness and helplessness like never before. He tossed and turned at home all day, constantly overshadowed by worry and anxiety. In the dead of night, he would look at the ceiling and wonder how much life was left.
His wife, Mary, has begun to complain about the family's financial situation, and the children's school fees are falling on his head. The pressure took him breathless, like a sleepy beast.
On this day, Jack spent another day at home, and he was bored scrolling on his phone**. Suddenly, the face of a strange man broke into his sight. "What is reverse thinking, and why can it change fate?The title of this ** caught Jack's attention. He seemed to see a glimmer of light in the night.
Jack watched the ** shared by the man named "Dark" with great engrossion. It turns out that reverse thinking is about turning the thinking patterns that are ingrained in our brains upside down.
For example, we often ask ourselves "how can I make money", which is positive thinking. Reverse thinking, on the other hand, is "how can I not make money". The latter, Duck explains, is often easier to figure out.
Jack realizes that he has been stuck in the limitations of positive thinking, which makes him have no clue about finding a job. He immediately followed Duck's method and thought backwards about the reasons for his unpopularity. Sure enough, Jack quickly found the crux of the problem. So he adjusted his resume, learned job search skills, and finally found a new job a month later.
This experience taught Jack the power of reverse thinking. It breaks the shackles of our thinking and allows us to see things from a broader perspective. Jack is determined to use reverse thinking in more aspects of his life, and he believes it can make a profound difference in his life.
Inspired by Dark, Jack began to actively deny his past beliefs. He realized that if a person's mind is too rigid, it will be difficult for him to adapt when the environment changes.
Jack saw that some people around him were still stuck in the old ideas, such as thinking that women should stay at home with husbands and children. And this is clearly outdated in today's society.
Jack convinces these friends to keep up with the times and change those old ideas. At first, Jack was criticized, but he was not discouraged. Through patient explanation, the friends gradually accepted Jack's opinion. Now their lives are more open and inclusive, and their family relationships are more harmonious.
This reaffirms the importance of Jack's initiative to deny his own thoughts. Our brains are prone to laziness, and fresh ideas are what keep us moving forward in life. Jack made up his mind to revisit his ideas every once in a while to prevent them from becoming ossified.
On this day, it suddenly occurred to Jack that there is often a secret exchange and return between people. For example, if he invites a guest to dinner, the other party will invite him in the futureHe sends a birthday present, and the recipient remembers his birthday. Jack excitedly told Duck about this realization.
Duck agrees that this is the tendency to give back. It stems from human nature and is an important law for building and maintaining relationships. It dawned on Jack that he was beginning to use the giving propensity in his life. For example, he took the initiative to help a single mother next to him, and later when he encountered difficulties, this mother also enthusiastically supported him.
Through these experiences, Jack saw the power of giving back to tendencies. It acts like a lubricant that makes it easier for us to get help and kindness from others. Jack is determined to use the giving back tendency, which he believes will make his life path smoother.
After Jack began to use the giving tendencies heavily in his life, he reaped many unexpected fruits. Once, Jack volunteered to help an old lady on the bus, and later the old man's granddaughter happened to work for Jack's company and helped him get a promotion and a raise.
However, Jack's actions have also caused controversy. Some say he's trying to curry favor with others just to get something in return. Some of Jack's friends even thought he was taking advantage of others. Jack was puzzled by this, he was clearly sincere.
This plunged him into self-doubt and gave him a cold shoulder in his relationships. But Jack wasn't discouraged. He believes that as long as his original intention is pure, someone will eventually understand. So Jack continued with his approach, and gradually, his friends realized his sincerity.
Just as Jack was gaining recognition, an accident changed the course of his life. It turned out that the old lady's relatives approached Jack and claimed to recover the "human debt" between them. Jack was horrified, he would think of his kindness and eventually the pheasant would come to naught, harming himself.
That night, Jack's whole body fell into a meltdown. He curled up in bed, his mind full of thoseHe pursues relatives who are in debt for favors. Jack felt like he was walking on a thorny road, and if he wasn't careful, he would be pierced to the ground.
That's when Jack suddenly remembered Dark. In desperation, he dialed Duck's **. When Duck learns of what happened to Jack, he immediately drives to Jack's house.
Jack, you've come so far, now is not the time to give up. Duck encouraged. He reminds Jack that bumps are the only way to success, and as long as you have hope, you can't give up.
Dark's words poured into Jack's heart like a warm current. He pulled himself together and revisited the matter. Sure enough, Jack discovers that the root of the problem is not with the old lady, but with the relatives who are interested in it. So Jack fought hard and finally got out of this catastrophe. This made him even more convinced that giving back would not invite disaster, and that as long as he was righteous in his heart, the conspiracy of the outside world would eventually fail.
However, just as Jack finally saw the light of day, tragedy struck. Dark, who learns of Jack**, is also involved in a lawsuit, and the career he has built with great difficulty is also forced to be interrupted. Darker was devastated, both mentally and physically.
What made Jack's heart even more heartbroken was that at this moment, the doctor diagnosed Duck with a terminal illness and only a few months left. Jack couldn't believe that this benefactor who changed his fate, this confidant who had always supported him, could leave him like this.
Dark's death was devastating to Jack. Once again, he fell into a slump and even wanted to give up the life he had regained. However, Jack didn't do it after all. Because the spirit of Duck lives forever in his heart. It was Duck who taught him to think backwards, to give back to others. These precious rules of life will always guide Jack forward.
Whenever Jack wants to give up, the figure of Duck comes to mind. This rekindled his fighting spirit. Now Jack has started a family and set up a charity club to help more people in need. Dak, your spirit lives on!
