The wisdom of wolves

 

Halo guys, today I am going to share some point that I have learn from a book with you all. And I hope it may be useful for you in your real life. First of all, let me make a simple introduction of this book then only we proceed to the content part. The picture above show the book was in chinese edition but actually this book was wrote by an American who call Jim Dutcher. Jim Dutcher was a American naturalist, cinematographer, director and author and he has written 8 books such as : A Friend for Lakota, Running with Wolves, The Hidden Life of Wolves and so on. The book that I wanna share today is call The Wisdom of Wolves as you can see it's chinese name (狼道) , the content of the book is about how we can implement the attitude, spirit, strategy of wolves in order to archive our goals. 

The Spirit of Wolves:

• Face difficulties with positive attitude

Basically, there are some small and weak wolves inside the group. Sometimes, they may have not enough food or their foods be grabbed by others due to the weaker strength they have. Although theirs foods be grabbed, but they didn't give up whereas they face it with positive attitude and start training everyday. With each passing day, they become more and more stronger until no one can grab their foods. So we are encouraged to learn from the wolves when we face difficulties in our real life. Exactly, we can't change any problem we face, but we can choose which attitude to use when we face the problem whether positive or negative. Positive attitude such as: optimism, resilience, consciousness, acceptance will energize our body and mind to solve the difficulties.

•  Be initiative

We as an employee in an organization can't be too passive. Passive meaning that we just done the job or duty that given by our employer. Instead, we have to be proactive in doing our job and after we done our job we can ask for more duty from our director. Do you think sheep will automatically go in front of wolves and be caught by it? For sure the answer is no, right? And this is the reason why wolves are initiative in finding their foods because they know sheep won't come automatically moreover lion and leopard will come and grab with them. In workplace, there are some people always get promotion but the others they don't. Maybe we would wonder why and we want to know what are the differences between them. The answer is the difference between being initiative or being passive.

• Keep fighting

Please don't misunderstanding, the fighting that I mention in here is not the action of  violence. It is a kind of spirit and also a form of life philosophy. In workplace, fighting spirit also can turn into a motivation to inspire us to perform well and achieve our targets. Because of the battle, we have to always improve ourselves regardless of whenever and wherever you are. We can improve ourselves by many ways such as: attending a course, read a book, find mentor and so on. Life is becoming more and more wonderful when we keep upgrade ourselves and overcome every obstacles. Time is precious, we do not have much time to waste instead we should spend our time in doing something meaningful, change all the unnecessary habits and adopt all the positive habits in order to make ourselves better. Thus, we should have the fighting spirit of wolves, use every time we have to strengthen ourselves.

•  Being mentally strong 

Being mentally strong is a kind of perseverance when you face with difficulties which means when you face failure, you won't give up or disappointed unless you have achieved your goal. In reality, we tend to be mentally weak and always hope someone could help us but one thing we should know there is no one will always help us, the only person who can help us is our own. So we have to be mentally strong like persistent, always believe in what you do will make you success no matter how others judge you. Second is solve the problem by your own instead of complain. Someone with strong mentality will always find the solution to solve the problem because they know complain won't help. Third is learn form someone who is better than them, they always find the opportunity to learn from those who are successful cause they wanna upgrade themselves. On the contrary, if we learn from those who are worse than us will slow down our progress.

• Underestimate the difficulties and obstacles

Difficulties and obstacles are unavoidable in our life and it is in everywhere, we are force to realize it and try to solve it. The seriousness of a problem is not depend on the problem itself instead it is depend on how we regard it. It could be extremely serious and also it could be extremely trivial. Difficulties itself won't affect the consequence, the consequence is affected by our reaction. Sometime, we have to learn from wolves, calm to accept the difficulties and try to find the solution. Every difficulties we face it also accompany with the opportunities and we are encourage to figure out the opportunities. So we have to think positively when we face the problem and try not to view the problem from one angle instead from various angle in order to figure out the opportunity. Hence, always underestimate the problem and believe in ourselves that we can overcome it all.
