Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way.Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger.
Having confidence(信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships.We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us.These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes,“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn't important.
The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybc it feels like we're taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won't always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
