Amazon founder Bezos once said in an interview: "People tend to have very high expectations for work, and I would say that if you can enjoy half of it, it's already very rare, and very few people get such a good job." There are bound to be parts of any job that you don't like, but instead of resentment, you should try to accept the imperfections in life。Although this sentence is simple, it deeply reflects his understanding of life and success.
Bezos believes that the pursuit of perfection is human nature, butObsessing too much about perfection often leads to not being able to move forward。The imperfections in life, like the intricate lines, make up our colorful world. They are opportunities to grow and learn, and a starting point for challenging oneself and pushing boundaries. Accepting imperfections means accepting your limitations and shortcomings, so that you can be open to life's challenges.
In Bezos's opinion, this kindAccepting imperfection is one of the keys to innovation and success。Throughout Amazon's evolution, he and his team have tried new ideas, even if many of them have not been successful. But it is these "imperfect" attempts that accumulate valuable experience that ultimately lead to the company's breakthrough and success. Bezos encourages people to embrace failure and learn from it, because in the process, we often find a path to success.
In addition, Bezos's view is also a kind of guide for personal life. There are elements of imperfection in our relationships, in our professional development, and even in our personal growth. Learning to accept and embrace these imperfections not only makes our lives more authentic and fulfillingIt can also help us build a healthier and more positive attitude towards life.
Schopenhauer, in his popular work The Wisdom of Life, also said, "We should reduce and moderate our expectations and demands."Learn to accept and adapt to things and situations that don't go your wayAlways be careful to prevent or bear the unfortunate calamity, this is becauseUnfortunate events, big and small, are an integral part of our livesWe should keep this in mind at all times. ”
While pursuing excellence, not forgetting to accept the imperfections of life is Bezos's valuable advice to everyone. This art of balance can not only help us achieve greater success in our careers, but also allow us to enjoy every moment and cherish every experience in the journey of life, whether it is perfect or full of flaws. As Bezos saidLearning to accept the imperfections in life may be the way we achieve our most perfect life.
