卓越是一種習慣
楊旭平
米開朗基羅是十六世紀義大利文藝復興時期最偉大的畫家與雕刻家。1509年他受邀在西斯汀教堂屋頂上畫下聖經故事──《創世記第一章》。
當時他必須平躺於懸吊的木架,手向上高舉才能作畫,十分困難,因此進度非常緩慢,不僅高舉的手酸痛不已,更因長期彎著背才能在木架上移動,連背都駝了。
有人曾經問他:「參觀的人都只是遠遠的從地上仰著頭看,你畫得到底好不好,又有多少人會注意呢?」
米開朗基羅卻回答:「可是,我自己知道畫得好不好啊!」
歷經十餘年的努力後,如今這個作品不但成為米開朗基羅舉世聞名的代表作,更成為世人心目中永垂不朽的藝術,觀賞者無不駐足驚嘆和感動。
相同的道理,當我們在執行一件事情,如果您在乎事情做的好不好,甚至可不可以因著努力變得更好,你就不會因循苟且、馬虎隨性、敷衍交差。
當你決定要追求卓越時,你會從內在產生更多的熱情,更多克服困難的耐心與毅力,進而造就不凡的生命。
在此,特別一提,「追求卓越」的精義不是凡事一步到位要求做到最完美,而是要一次比一次做的更好的生命態度。
所以,古希臘哲學家亞里斯多德說:「卓越是一種習慣」。
人的天性雖略有所不同,但主要的性格基本上大都是後天形成的,且是家庭教養和學校教育的結果。
所以,我們的一言一行都是日積月累養成的習慣。
我們有的人形成了很好的習慣,有的人形成了很壞的習慣。
到20歲左右的時候,我們已經有了自覺意識,已經開始明白什麼樣的習慣會使我們終身受益。
為了追求卓越,我們從現在起就要把卓越變成一種習慣,讓我們的卓越行為習以為常,變成我們的第二天性。
讓我們習慣性地去創造性思考,習慣性地去認真做事情,習慣性地去對別人友好,習慣性地去欣賞大自然。當你養成了卓越的習慣,在人們眼中你就會顯得卓越。
比如,讓我們今天就學會微笑,把悲傷留給自己,把快樂帶給別人。不管你是真心的還是職業性的微笑,只要你笑了,就會很美麗、很好看,就會給人留下美好的印象。
「路是人走出來的」…….
◆山不轉,路轉; 路不轉,人轉!
你可以改變自己, 用好的習慣重新塑造自己。
◆百鍊成鋼
生命有如鐵砧,愈被敲打,愈能散發生命的火花。

「給鳥兒兩隻鑲金的翅膀,它就再也不能翱翔天際了。」
