An example of success due to change 1 Wharton received the admission notice from the famous Yale University. However, he is in danger of dropping out of school because his family is poor and can't afford the tuition. He decided to use his vacation to work and become a painter like his father.
Walton got a job painting a big house. Although the owner of the house, Michael, is very picky, he is well paid. Walton jumped at the deal. At work, Walton was naturally meticulous, and his serious and responsible attitude satisfied Michael who came to check several times. The day is coming to an end. Walton painted a door panel, which was removed for the last time, just to dry it. After all this, Walton breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go out and have a rest. He didn't want to trip over the bricks under his feet. Now it's broken. Walton pushed down the erected door panel. The door panel fell on the newly painted wall, and there was an obvious trace of red paint on the wall. Walton immediately cut off the paint marks with a knife and added some paint. But after all this, he felt that the color of the paint was different from the original one, and the new one was out of harmony with the surrounding area. What shall we do? Walton decided to repaint the wall.
It took Walton about half a day to finish painting the wall. However, the next day, Walton was dismayed to find that the newly painted wall was not in harmony with the color of the wall next to it, and the more he looked, the more obvious it became. Walton sighed and decided to buy more materials and repaint all the walls. Although he knew it would cost nearly twice as much as before, and he couldn't make much money, Walton decided to repaint them. What he wants in mind is to be responsible for his work.
No sooner had he bought the materials he needed than Michael came to check the work. Walton apologized to him and truthfully told the story and his inner thoughts. Instead of getting angry, Michael gave Wharton a thumbs-up sign. As a reward for his responsible attitude towards Walton's work, Michael is willing to help him finish his college studies. In the end, Walton accepted the help. Later, he not only successfully finished college, but also married Michael's daughter after graduation and entered Michael's company. Ten years later, he became the chairman of this company. Now everyone knows the world's largest Wal-Mart retail company, but not many people know that the chairman of the company was the poor boy who painted the walls. A wall changed Walton's fate, or his responsible attitude towards his work changed his own fate.

She has been engaged in charity for six years and raised more than ten million dollars. Today, she is not only among celebrities, but also regarded as the future presidential candidate of the United States. But Talia said? Even if I am not the president, I can change the world. ?

Decades ago, there lived a girl named Emily in new york. She felt sorry for herself and decided that her ideal would never come true. Her ideal is the ideal of every young girl: being with the right person? A handsome prince charming gets married and grows old together. Emily dreamed all day, but all the girls around her got married one after another, and she became an older woman. She thinks her dream will never come true.
On a rainy afternoon, Emily was persuaded by her family to go to a famous psychologist. . When shaking hands, her cold fingers made people tremble, her sad eyes, like voices floating from the grave, and her pale and haggard face all told the psychiatrist: I'm hopeless. What can you do?
The psychiatrist pondered for a long time and then said, Emily, I want to ask you a favor. I really need your help, okay?
Emily nodded incredulously.
? Here's the thing. My family will have a party on Tuesday, but my wife is too busy alone. Please give my regards to the guests. Tomorrow morning, you should buy a new suit first, but don't choose it yourself. Just ask the shop assistant and buy it according to her idea. Then get a haircut and follow the barber's advice. It is beneficial to listen to the opinions of good people. ?
Then the psychiatrist said:? Many guests come to my house, but they don't know each other very well. You should take the initiative to help me greet the guests and say that you welcome them on my behalf and pay attention to helping them, especially those who look lonely. I need your help to take care of every guest. You got it?
Emily looked uneasy, and the psychiatrist encouraged her to say, It's all right. It's actually very simple, such as seeing who doesn't have coffee and bringing a cup. If it's too stuffy, just open the window or something. ? Emily finally agreed to try. .
On Tuesday, Emily came to the party in proper hair and clothes. At the request of the psychiatrist, she tried her best to help others. Her eyes are bright and her face is smiling. She completely forgot her troubles and became a popular person at the party. After the party, three young people offered to send her home.
Week after week, three young people enthusiastically pursued Emily, and she finally agreed to one of them. Psychologists attended their wedding as invited guests. Looking at the happy bride, people say that psychologists have created a miracle.
What the outside world says: Always think about yourself, look at yourself and appreciate yourself. As a result, you can't walk into other people's hearts, and others can't walk into your world. Just try to forget yourself and help others, and everything will change.
