One day four years later, Rockefeller overheard it and appreciated it very much, so he invited archibald to dinner and asked him why he did it. Archibald said, "Isn't this the company's slogan?" Rockefeller said, "Do you feel obligated to promote the company after work?" Akibot asked, "Why not? Am I not a member of this company after work? Don't I write one more time and one more person will know? "
This is something anyone can do, but only archibald has done it, and he is determined to win and enjoys it. Among those who laugh at him, there must be many people whose talents and abilities are above him.
Rockefeller was impressed by Akibot's behavior and began to cultivate him. Five years later, Rockefeller stepped down. He did not hand over the position of the second chairman to his son, but to Akibot. The appointment surprised everyone, including archibald himself. In fact, people should not be surprised. A person who always takes the fate of the company to heart will naturally gain the trust of the boss. The boss naturally dares to entrust him with the important business of the company. Afterwards, it was proved that Rockefeller's appointment was a wise decision. Under Akibot's leadership, American Standard Oil Company became more prosperous.
A person's victory is sometimes purely accidental. However, who can say that it is not inevitable?
The wisdom of archibald:
What Archibott does is a small thing that everyone can do. Maybe others didn't do it or were too lazy to do it, or didn't think of doing it at all. Only Akibote was very careful and shrewd, found that this was a way to do "free advertising" and insisted on doing it seriously. He got what he deserved.
The bane of failure is to form the habit of perfunctory things from childhood; The way to success is to start from the small things around you, do everything perfectly, and label everything you handle as "excellent". Excellence means not relaxing your demands on yourself, that is, sticking to yourself as always when others are inadvertently.
Revelation:
As long as you have enough care and ability, you can be the chairman! Sometimes success is really that easy! But ordinary people can't do it, so it's not the average person's turn to succeed!
What kind of mind, boldness of vision, wisdom and vision are needed to let outsiders take over and hand over the responsibility of the chairman to a young man with ordinary qualifications and skills who can only be promoted for the company anytime and anywhere! Ordinary business tycoons and even political leaders can't do it! But the great "world oil king" Rockefeller did it! His extraordinary vision and great feats have influenced and inspired many people!
"Why not? Am I not a member of this company after work? - "
What do you think of this simple statement from the heart, which was only a small employee of the company at that time?
As a child, leaving home and parents, do you still regard yourself as the child of this family and parents? Can you think of this family and parents anytime and anywhere?
As a student, after leaving the classroom and school, will you still think about your studies and studies anytime and anywhere? Still think of yourself as a student?
As cadres and public servants in party member, do you still regard yourself as cadres and government officials in party member after working and leaving? Can we consider the reputation of the party and the government anytime and anywhere? Can you always think of people everywhere?
The difference between people, the difference between losers and winners, and the difference between small people and big people depends largely on what kind of people you think of yourself after class, outside work and outside the office. What are you thinking and doing?
