Renee is a fat girl who is disliked by shopping guides in shopping malls, ignored by bartenders in bars, and even children will cry when they see her.
These annoyances damaged her self-esteem, and she moaned in front of the mirror every night. After making up her mind to lose weight, she went to the gym full of confidence. Unexpectedly, the first time she stepped on a bicycle, something went wrong, not only crushing the fitness equipment, but also breaking her pants.
In this era of thinness as beauty, even work has been affected. The company arranged for her to sit in a basement with a fat buddy every day. Every time he takes the initiative to find a topic and wants to break the dull work atmosphere, the fat buddies can talk to death in one sentence.
Renee imagined that one day she could become thinner and more beautiful, and her life could be turned around. On this day, she came to the gym full of confidence, and the coach gave an order, and she stepped on the bicycle frantically. After exerting too much force, the whole person fell off the bicycle and fell into a coma.
After waking up, Renee found that her dream had come true. In her eyes, she was a peerless beauty with a standard appearance and figure. Although the staff around her looked at her with strange eyes, she did not have the slightest doubt about the scene in front of her.
The hallucination filled her with confidence. The kind of man who thinks that all the men in the world want to talk to him, and all the women are envious of their beauty and confidence in their figure.
With this confidence, she not only applied for the front desk job at the head office, but also took the initiative to date the handsome bearded guy who was "accosted" in the laundry room. Since then, every day of her life has been full of miracles, she has gained career and love, and completed the path of the ugly duckling's counterattack.
Just as she was immersed in joy, the story took a turn. After an accidental slip and another head injury, she regained normal consciousness. The self in the mirror changed back to the original fat girl. Without the support of her beauty and figure, she no longer had her original arrogance and confidence, and returned to her original guilty conscience and cowardice. She was afraid to meet her boyfriend and go to work.
It was not until the end that she realized that everything was her own imagination, and she had never become thinner or more beautiful. After accepting this fact, Renee understands that it is not her appearance and figure that have restrained her, but the lack of self-confidence caused by excessive attention to her own shortcomings.
The above is the plot of the movie "Super Size Beauty", and we will also encounter such a situation in reality.
We often hear self-assessments like this, "I have a good-looking face, but my body is too bad. It would be better if I were thinner." "My voice is very nice, but it's a pity that I'm too timid, so I won't have anything in front of everyone. good performance."
In fact, the people who say these words are not bad, but their happiness is not very high. The reason is that they always like to stare at their own shortcomings.
They want to correct their shortcomings one by one, trying to be recognized and valued to leave a positive impression in front of others. So that those outstanding advantages are ignored.
In fact, too much focus on the shortcomings is very detrimental to our own development. We don’t see opportunity, we don’t believe we have strengths and we can use those strengths to take control of our lives.
As the saying goes, "gold is not pure, no man is perfect", nothing is perfect in the world, and there is no perfect man.
A person who knows how to accept himself must first learn to accept all his shortcomings. Instead of focusing on our weaknesses, we should look for our strengths and think about how to use these strengths to find self-worth.
Just like the heroine mentioned in the plot just now, is her success just because of blind self-confidence? This is not the case. She also has her own advantages, but she ignores these advantages because of her excessive self-esteem.
Instead, the hallucinations she had after wrestling in the back allowed her to use all those advantages. Let's take a look at how Renee unknowingly uses her strengths to achieve self-worth.
01 Pay attention to accumulation and discover your own advantages
Although Renee in the play is very fat, she likes to dress up very much. Every time I go out, it is a tight top and a miniskirt, and the colors are bright and avant-garde.
She pays close attention to the trends in the fashion industry. News pictures from magazines are posted everywhere at home. In her spare time, she likes to study various live broadcasts and learn makeup.
These daily accumulations made her maintain a high sensitivity to fashion, and also laid a theoretical foundation for her to talk freely in front of her head office boss in the future.
So, wherever you want to be successful, indulge in something you love. Keep fighting until what you love becomes what you are good at.
02 Pay attention to details and present your own advantages
There is a small refrigerator at the front desk of the company, which stores some drinks for visitors to use. Renee can always choose exactly which one is his favorite for each visitor.
Is it just luck? of course not. This is due to her usual observation and memorization.
A person who pays attention to small details will get more attention from others, and these people are very likely to become noble people in your future career.
People often say that the harder you work, the luckier you get, and paying attention to the details can help you get lucky and let others see your unique strengths.
03 Sense of humor, polish your strengths
When the boss' handsome brother came to the company, Renee smiled and chose his favorite drink. The handsome guy was very surprised. He didn't expect a front desk to be so extreme.
Immediately afterwards, the hostess began to use her sense of humor, "I wanted to help you prepare some hot girls, but unfortunately I can't fit in the refrigerator." In this way, she left a good impression on the handsome guy, who fell in love with her at first sight.
A sense of humor is always one of the most sought-after qualities in interpersonal relationships, bringing you closer to others and adding to your strengths.
Of course, accepting one's own shortcomings does not mean being blindly confident and defiant. In the play, Renee gained love and career because of her confidence, but in the end she was too self-inflated and lost her precious friendship.
Accepting yourself is a belief. Believe that there is a positive meaning behind every shortcoming, and believe that you are unique.
When you accept your own shortcomings, you can get along with others confidently.
When you accept your shortcomings, you will have the determination to work hard in your career.
When you accept your own shortcomings, you have the courage to love those around you.
