✨The Gap and The Gain Book Review 🌟
Stop measuring the rest of the distance and look at the distance.
.
This new year, many people are going to show the New Year Resolution of 2025 and sigh a long sigh, because there are so many "unsuccessful" that they start to feel what we have done in the past year? Why do others go beyond us?
This book tells us that suffering is not caused by what we can do, but by the ruler we choose.
.
📌 At the heart of this book is a comparison of two concepts.
The Gap and The Gain Let me summarize this simple point of view. Read it and think about yourself. Maybe this is the night across the year that turns your life around.
.
1. Don't compare yourself to "the ideal" (The Gap).
The Gap is when we compare ourselves today to the "ideal picture" or the perfect set, such as "I'm 10 million rich this year," but only 1 million, and we're distressed.
But the truth is, ideals are like the horizon, we see, they run, they never reach, they are for "direction," but not for "measurement." If you use them to measure, you feel allergic all the time.
.
2. Measure success from the "beginning" (The Gain)
The Gain is a 180-degree backward rotation and looks back at the beginning of last year.
Longlist came out, where are you in January and where are you today? Although the goal of 10 million is not yet reached, the 1 million you achieve is a huge growth from the day of nothing.
The human brain is addicted to progress. When you focus on "The Gain," the brain secretes happiness and gives impetus to walk farther.
.
3. "The 3 Wins" of every day.
Before going to bed tonight or every night, write down the "three victories" that happen on that day or that year. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Just maintaining a good relationship with your peers or making a difficult decision is Win.
To do this is to train the brain to get used to being someone looking for progress in all situations (Gain-Oriented).
And stop comparing yourself to ideals.
.
📋 Epilogue to all working men.
If you feel a failure in this year's work, try this technique:
- Performance Review on yourself:
Instead of not being promoted, let's see what "skills" are you doing better than you did last year? Can you solve the problems you did before? That's what you're going to build on next year.
- Team Appreciation:
If you're the boss, don't keep ticking that the Gap isn't up yet, but admire the team for what they've been through until the end of the year. It's the most powerful morale and encouragement.

❣️ an epilogue to friends who are cutting themselves...
I want to tell everyone
"You're so good at bringing yourself this December 31st."
The world has not always been kind to us in recent years, it has been both controllable and uncontrollable, and you still stand here, you want to improve yourself, you want to set a new goal, and that is the greatest victory.
Stop looking at how far there is left to reach your goal, but be proud of every step you've taken throughout these 365 days.
Rest and enjoy what we have accomplished, and next year we will continue to encourage everyone to travel to the new year with a new perspective that is more 😉
