Most people's life will not be smooth, more or less always encountering some difficulties.

When you encounter difficulties, you can always show your true strength.

When you're at the end of your rope, try these four ways out first. It doesn't have to be just a miracle or a story.

1. Forward thinking

What is forward thinking?

Forward-thinking is a long-term vision, both to see things in front of you, but also to summarize the laws and development logic to predict the future, and to prepare for the future.

So, how do you get yourself to have forward-thinking? You can try the "10-10-10" method.

Simply put, when you choose to do something, you should first think about it. 10 minutes later, what will be the impact, 10 months later, what will be the impact, 10 years later, what will be?

The "10-10-10" method can help you learn to predict the future in advance and work toward future goals, greatly reducing the occurrence of irrational behavior.

Be sure to give yourself a long-term vision and make long-term plans, never just look at the immediate future, nor take one step at a time.

People without deep planning, there will be immediate worries, to have forward-thinking, so as not to be in a desperate situation at a loss.

2. Pros and cons of thinking

There is a very classic saying: "Children can only distinguish right from wrong, adults can only see the pros and cons."

Many people always like to use either black or white or either/or absolute thinking to do things. But successful people must have a kind of thinking, is the thinking of pros and cons.

A mature person knows how to avoid harm and benefit. They will consider all aspects of a thing, and then weigh the pros and cons of a thing.

For example, a successful businessman, when doing a business, will not only consider the financial benefits that the business will bring to him, but also consider the risks that the business may bring to them and whether they can prevent such risks.

After weighing the pros and cons, they will decide whether the business is worth doing. If it is not worth doing, they will choose to stop in time.

3. The mentality of the grandson

The so-called "grandson mentality" is to know how to properly lower their posture, give others respect and face, and maintain their own humble and modest attitude.

Some people think that the grandson mentality is a kind of cowardly and demeaning behavior, and the word "grandson" is not good. For example, "acting like a grandson" is a derogatory term, but in fact, the grandson mentality is an important relationship between people.

People do not want to be a grandson. This is a matter of vanity and face, but also a kind of human nature. But the "grandson mentality" is against human nature. Put down the so-called vanity, you will be able to have more contacts and more wealth.

The essence of making money is an exchange. If you always put up a high profile, who will be willing to work with you?

So, let yourself maintain a "grandson mentality", or a good principle of doing things.

4. Long-term thinking

Long-term thinking tests patience. In the pursuit of wealth or success in the process, many people want to get to the top or become a big fat, but the rush things are often counterproductive.

We've all heard the parable of "adding insult to injury". You want to succeed, you want to get a quick return. In the end, if the desire for speed is not achieved, things will get worse. You can only catch a big fish by putting in a long line.

Most things in this world are a long, steady, cumulative process. Only with enough stamina and calmness can you get to the destination you want.

Tall buildings need to rise from the ground; all mirages are just mirages. Only by thinking long term can you accumulate wealth and success.
