Inspirational Story 1: Arithmetic at the Top of the Pyramid There is a college student in Taiwan Province Province who wants to start a business after graduation, but he has been hesitant. In a blink of an eye, he is married and has children, his career is stable and his family is harmonious, but his dream of starting a business still haunts his mind.
He confided his thoughts to his father-in-law, who disagreed and settled accounts with him. "According to my decades of experience, 90% of you young people want to start a business; 90% of people who have thought about starting a business just think about it; Among the entrepreneurs who put it into practice, 90% failed. The reason for the failure is not that they didn't work hard enough, but that they didn't meet a good project. 90% of those who encounter good projects are only small achievements. Therefore, to become a big entrepreneur is like climbing to the top of the pyramid, which is even more difficult. "
These words really make people dizzy and dumbfounded. My father-in-law wanted him to retire, but he said excitedly, "Thank you for your advice. I know what to do. "
Soon, he quit his job, took out all his savings, borrowed some money from his parents, and resolutely embarked on the journey of starting a business. He started from the production of TV parts, earned his first bucket of gold, and then invested in building a mold factory. That year, the real estate market in Taiwan Province Province was on fire, and businessmen moved to the real estate field one after another, but he insisted on not buying a house or land and running his own mold factory. A year later, the land price doubled, and many people advised him to sell the mold factory and enter the real estate, but he stubbornly refused. A few years later, the real estate market gradually shrank, and his mold factory made rapid progress in both technical level and efficiency, becoming a leader in the same industry. In the early 1990s, with the rapid development of computer industry, he entered the field of personal computer connectors with mature mold technology, and began to establish his connector kingdom. 1999, he swallowed up many small and medium-sized enterprises in one breath, which transformed his company from a regional enterprise into a world-class group, and the number of employees in the enterprise also expanded from the initial 10 to more than 50,000 people all over the world. He is the chairman of Hon Hai Group, Guo Taiming, the richest man in Taiwan Province's scientific and technological circles.
A reporter asked him: "How did you succeed step by step when you were unknown at the age of 30?"
He said humorously, "My elders once told me that the final winner is like climbing to the top of the pyramid, and my success is calculated step by step."
The reporter is puzzled. He just laughed and didn't answer, which seemed rather mysterious.
A few years later, he gave a speech at a entrepreneur forum, describing his development track like this: "Some people say that 90% of people who want to start a business have not put it into practice, and I want to be 65,438+00%, so I will start a business decisively at the age of 30; Some people say that 90% of entrepreneurs fail, mainly because of the wrong project selection. I think 10%, so when the real estate is hot, I calmly observe and rationally analyze, and insist on choosing a more familiar and interested mold industry; Some people say that 90% of the people who choose the right project have only made small achievements, and I want to be that 10%. Therefore, looking at the world, we have made some scientific plans, effectively integrated resources and boldly innovated, which has made today's Hon Hai Group. "
After reading this passage, I suddenly understand that the difference between a loser and a winner is that the former always sees a series of 90% failures and dares not move forward, while the latter is ecstatic when he sees a series of 10% successes. The top of the pyramid always belongs to those who see and are willing to pursue 10%.
Inspirational story 2: When waiting for the bus to pick him up when he was young, he was as crazy about movie stars as many of his peers, and his dream of being a star began to sprout in his heart. In order to realize his dream, he went to the art school for evening self-study. After entering the art school, no director took a fancy to him, so he had to "go on". In the old version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he had 65,438+0 minutes and no lines-he played a nobody and a prisoner. Nevertheless, he never gave up his pursuit. He ran for nearly 10 years with a "walk-on". In the end, he was discovered by director Li Xiuxian, and he was cast in Pioneer of Thunderbolt. From then on, he was very popular, and the films he starred in were all the rage because of his humor. He is Stephen Chow, who was later called "the comedy emperor".
At first, he was just an unknown student in martial arts, but he had his own dream: to become a movie star. In order to realize his dream, he chose to start with "walk-on". He said: When making a movie, the director will only arrange him to be a living target, and he will only be beaten every day, and he will often be scolded by the director. Sometimes the day is very hard, and his "performance fee" is only 5 yuan. Even so, he doesn't have to work every day. Sometimes he can only be body double of other people's bodies. When I was filming a Bruce Lee movie, I was honored to be "beaten" by Bruce Lee. After the camera was reshaped three times, it was severely beaten by Bruce Lee three times! Later, he survived and really became an international superstar. He is Jackie Chan, who was later called "Big Brother".
At that time, Wu Zhenyu was also a walk-on for Stephen Chow in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Wu Zhenyu joked that his past "walk-on" was "waiting for the bus". He said: "I want to tell many people that the bus I have been waiting for for for a long time has finally arrived." You are also waiting for the bus, but I don't know if there will be a car to pick it up. My experience tells me that as long as I work hard, I will definitely wait for the bus. "
As singers, many people were unknown before they became famous. They are all singers living in hotels, always waiting for the bus to pick them up. These people are: Dao Lang, Li Yugang, A Xin and Chen Chusheng. ...
When Chen Chusheng first arrived in the metropolis, he had no skills, so he had to work in a fast food restaurant and deliver food. People call him "little brother". But he always had a dream, singing. So he began to practice guitar hard, auditioned in a hotel and became a resident singer. He said, "I tried to sing many bars, but most of them failed." Because you are inexperienced at first, people will know whether you are a singer or not as soon as you sit on the stage. "But he didn't lose heart, ran round and round, and finally a hotel was willing to accept him. In this way, Chen Chusheng has been singing in a hotel in Shenzhen for seven years. It was not until 2007 that he participated in Happy Boys, which became an instant hit and became famous. He finally got his "car" ...
Yes, maybe you don't see hope yet. But what does it matter? Before the arrival of a successful "car", run a "walk-on" at this stage of your life, and there will always be a car to take you on the road to success. Wait for the bus to pick it up!
