There was a housewife who one day bought a piece of clothing and habitually flaunted it to her neighbors. However, she found that her neighbors had spent 20 yuan less on the same clothes than her, so she held a grudge for several days. This person's pattern is worth 20 yuan.

There is a beggar who begs on the street all day long and has no feelings for people wearing shiny clothes on the road. However, he is jealous of beggars who beg more than himself. This person must have been a beggar all along.

Three workers are building a wall on the construction site. Someone asked them what they are doing? The first person said unkindly, 'Build a wall, didn't you see it?'? The second person smiled and said, 'We are building a tall building.'. The third person smiled and said, 'We are building a new city.'. Ten years later, the first person is still building the wall, the second person has become an engineer, and the third person is the boss of the first two people.

There is a saying that goes: No matter how big the pancake is, it is not as big as the pot used to make it. The philosophy of this sentence is: You can make a big cake, but no matter how big the cake you make, it must be limited by the pot that makes it. The future we hope for is like this big cake, whether we can create a satisfactory "cake" depends entirely on the "pot" that cooks it - this is the so-called "pattern".

What is pattern? Pattern refers to the internal layout of a person's vision, breadth of mind, courage, and other psychological elements!

A person's development is often limited, and in fact, 'limitation' means that the pattern is too small and restricted by it. Those who strive for great things must plan the overall situation. For the game of life, the first thing we need to learn is not skills, but layout. Big picture, that is, to approach life from a big perspective, striving to stand higher, see farther, and do bigger. The overall situation determines the direction of development, and controlling the overall situation also means controlling the situation.

Only when one's perspective is broad can the road ahead be wide!

If life is viewed as a game of chess, then the outcome of life is determined by the pattern of this game. To win the game of life, the key is to grasp the game. In the game of chess between people, sacrificing soldiers to protect cars, flying elephants to jump horses... all kinds of chess games are like every game in life. The winners of the game are often those chess players who have the strategy and momentum of giving before taking, the height of overall planning, and the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles.
In today's world of constantly updating knowledge, we are constantly refreshing our knowledge structure, and the most important thing is to cultivate a broad mind as much as possible.

Only with a great realm can one have a broad mind, and only with a broad perspective can one make great achievements.

Behind the luck of successful people lies a grand pattern, and they will have their own destiny! Those with a broad perspective: have an open mind, do not underestimate themselves due to unfavorable environments, and do not give up on themselves due to insufficient abilities. People with a small pattern: they often complain about their life because they are not happy. They can't do anything because of a small setback. When they look at problems, they often lose sight of Mount Taishan and become mediocre people. The scope is not large enough, and even the highest achievements in life are limited! The three possible outcomes of a pomegranate seed: planting it in a flowerpot can only grow to a height of over half a meter at most! Planting in a tank can grow to over a meter high! Planting in the open space of the courtyard can grow up to four to five meters high! 'Limitation' means that a person sets too small a 'game' for themselves! The heights that one can reach in life are often the heights that people have psychologically chosen for themselves. If a person has never thought of reaching the pinnacle in their heart, then they will never achieve success!

The way to achieve a big picture

Pattern is not innate and has no necessary connection with your current life environment. Pattern is a person's positioning of their life coordinates. As long as we can adjust our mentality, we can definitely establish a big pattern for ourselves. Knowledge and skills are internal strength, and a suitable platform and a rich network are wings. If you can make full use of all these resources and put yourself on an upward ladder every day, then the future big picture and development will not just be a dream.

To enlarge your perspective, you need to stand in different positions and feel it. To test whether a person's intelligence is superior, it only depends on whether their mind can accommodate two opposing thoughts at the same time, without affecting their social behavior. In fact, this is like the "Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram" in Chinese Taoist culture, where there is yang in yin and yin in yang, making the problem more comprehensive. This is a comprehensive pattern.
