: the most important life decision
What's the decision? In fact, it is very simple, that is, what kind of way do you want to make a living? Do you want to be a farmer or a small business owner, a forest farm manager, a civil servant or a veterinarian, or do you decide to start your own fruit stand?
At this moment, it is difficult for most people to settle down and choose a career that suits them. People often look for jobs on an empty stomach and then devote themselves wholeheartedly. As a result, many people live in pain all their lives. I don't like this job. I have to deal with it in order to support my family. As a result, it is difficult to achieve success.
The core of the problem is that you must calm yourself down and find a job that you are interested in and like. Because only the work you like, you will devote yourself wholeheartedly. Do it well with all your enthusiasm, even if the work is hard and tired, you have no regrets.
Edison, the great inventor, is a typical example. The newsboy who didn't go to school for a few days later became the greatest inventor in the world and promoted the process of world industrialization. He works meticulously in the laboratory almost every day 18 hours, and even eats and sleeps in the laboratory. However, Edison never found his work boring and hard. He said, "I love my job very much. My greatest happiness is in the laboratory. I am most interested in novel experiments. I'm glad I didn't waste a minute. "
So is Phil, president of Boeing Aircraft Company. At first, Phil's father opened a laundry. After years of operation, this laundry has gained some prestige in the local area. His father hopes that Phil will inherit his own business and run the laundry better. However, Phil hates laundry work very much. He is lazy all day and has no energy. He just managed to cope with what his father told him. This made my father very upset. My father often complained that he had raised a disappointing son.
Later, when Phil was 26, he was tired of his present job. He said to his father, "I have decided to work as a mechanic in a machinery factory, and I have already had an interview." The machinery factory has agreed to accept me. "
This surprised the father very much: the son gave up the business of being a boss in his own home and went to the factory as an ordinary worker, starting from scratch. He never agrees. But his son has decided to go. After telling his father his decision, he briefly explained the work at hand, put on his work clothes and went to work in the machinery factory.
Above all, Phil is very interested in machinery. He doesn't think the work in the factory is hard at all. While working, he pondered the principles of various machines. After work, he took courses in engineering and machinery with great interest, learning engines and installing machinery. With great enthusiasm and hobbies, Phil's knowledge and technology in mechanical research have advanced by leaps and bounds. A few years later, Phil was already an engineer in the machinery factory.
1944, when Phil died, he was already the president of Boeing. He developed the "flying fortress" bomber, which made great contributions to the victory of the Allied forces in World War II and was commended by President Roosevelt.
We can imagine that if Phil listened to his father's arrangement and continued to take care of the business in the laundry, then he would only have two endings: either the laundry closed or the owner of that lifeless little laundry. Nothing else. He doesn't like that job. He can't do it well without interest and enthusiasm.
For each of us, the most important thing is not to force ourselves to engage in jobs that we are not interested in, not to rashly step into industries that we do not like, and everything should be based on our own interests and love. Only in this way can you have a happy and successful life.
: Sun Honglei "grabs the play"
From 65438 to 0997, after graduating from Beijing Theatre Academy, Sun often ran around major theaters in Beijing and applied for roles in some TV dramas. Because he is plain, in that era when handsome men and beautiful women prevailed. He hit a wall many times.
1998 One day in early 1998, the famous director Zhao Baogang chose an actor to play the thug of a drug Lord on the set of Never Satisfied. Although it is a small role. However, due to his great fame, many people came to sign up, and Sun also signed up. To Sun's surprise, he just glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Young man, you are so simple and honest. This role is not for you! " In this way, Sun left the set despondently.
On the way, Sun recalled that he felt very wronged, because although he had failed many times before, he had at least a chance to try the play, and this application was brushed off without even trying. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels wronged. Suddenly there is a strong feeling that I don't believe in evil. If I don't play this role, then I will rob it! Then, Sun hurried to the set, ran to the front of casting and said firmly, "Let me put on a play!"! If you are not satisfied, I will leave at once! It's unfair to me to drive me away without letting me audition! " Zhao Baogang got a fright, re-examined his peers, was moved by his self-confidence and persistence, and reluctantly agreed to his "requirements". After auditioning for a play, Sun found that his acting skills were superb, and the state presented in the play was completely different from that in reality, so he gave him the role.
Later, the TV series Never Satisfied became an instant hit. In this TV series, Sun's outstanding performance left a deep impression on the audience, although he played a small role of Jianjun with few scenes. Since then, Sun has made one movie after another, and he finally became a hot actor in China.
Zhao Baogang once said in an interview: "Sun won the role of the TV series Never Satisfied, not so much because I gave it to him, but because he" robbed "it.
People say that "opportunities favor people who are prepared", but this is not necessarily the case, because many times, even if we make a lot of preparations, we don't necessarily wait for opportunities. This requires us to strive for opportunities for ourselves and open the door to success for ourselves.
Become a defeated winner
As the eldest of the family, Cai, who was born in Chenghai, Guangdong Province, worked in the fields from dawn to dusk with his two younger brothers. Try your best to help parents live a hard life. In order to make a living, Cai began to work after graduating from junior high school.
Cai wears rain boots and does electroplating in a hardware factory. She will do it for 12 hours, from 8 pm to 8 am the next day. Unfortunately, after working very hard for several months, she can only get very little income. Cai thought silently, if you can't do your career, you have no hope. So, Cai, 0/7 years old, tried to persuade her mother to borrow 800 yuan money from others to start her own business.
Cai bought a manual press with the money borrowed by her mother, and set up a studio to make small plastic speakers at home. When she first made a trumpet, Cai cherished this hard-won opportunity. But there is not enough money, so there is not much money left after buying the machine. The opening of the trumpet became a headache for him.
Cai's cousin is a mold maker. He had to ask his cousin for help, and someone else prescribed one set and two sets for him by the way. With the help of my cousin, it took them more than 30 days to develop the product, but Cai was very disappointed. Because the product has no characteristics and the quality is not high, the samples are taken to the market and basically nobody cares.
After analysis, Cai believes that only by making products better than others will there be a market. In order to ensure the product quality, Cai found a number of speaker manufacturers. After buying it back, blow it one by one. Use the sound if it is good, and discard it if it is bad. Therefore, his products are of good quality and will soon be favored by people.
At the beginning of the business, energetic Cai took out his savings and borrowed from many parties, making a total of 7000 yuan. He is ambitiously cooperating with his cousin, whose business is booming, hoping to make his career bigger as soon as possible. However, these two people have different business ideas and the products are not suitable. It didn't take long for the investment to be completely lost and ended in failure.
The lack of cooperation with my cousin gave Cai a heavy blow and cruel torture. Cai knows that it is useless to lament. Instead of sighing in pain, it is better to struggle in joy and compete in loss and hope.
Cai has been looking for opportunities to start a business. When he saw Japanese-made toy four-wheel drive in Hong Kong, he thought that the traditional toy industry would be gradually eliminated, and the development of teenagers' intellectual toys would be highly valued by families and society, so he established Guangdong Audi Toy Industry Co., Ltd. to introduce, develop and produce mini four-wheel drive series products of teenagers' intellectual toys.
After Cai's four-wheel drive was put on the market, due to the high scientific and technological connotation of the product. Playing with the conductor is good for teenagers to learn and enlighten their wisdom, so it is deeply loved by teenagers.
Most people like to look at brands when they buy things, and so do toys. Cai, who is aware of the importance of the brand, will hold activities with the media to make her products stand out.
Cai contacted Guangdong TV Station to discuss the joint four-wheel drive competition, and Guangdong TV Station was really willing to cooperate. By holding a four-wheel drive competition, Cai's four-wheel drive immediately sold well all over the country, with annual sales exceeding 100 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the market of similar products. Wealth is like a snowball in winter, rolling towards him.
Unfortunately, the situation in the shopping mall is unpredictable. Just when Cai was here, his enterprise suddenly fell into a trough, and product counterfeiting was serious, which led to a decline in sales performance and low confidence of the sales team. Although Cai, who was only happy for a few days, suddenly fell to the brink of collapse, he would not easily bow to difficulties, but should actively face them, sum up problems in time and turn difficulties into opportunities.
Bandai is the largest toy manufacturer in Japan. By carefully studying the successful experience of Bandai, Cai found that Japan has only 1. 2.8 billion people, can achieve more than 20 billion a year, China has 13. 600 million people, but only a few hundred million, obviously not a small market, but it is not doing well enough. Therefore, Cai decided to make a strategic transformation, strengthen the animation+toy model, and build the most valuable animation industry chain.
Cai, who is full of vigor and vitality, racked his brains and spent a lot of money to buy the animated film "Four-wheel Drive Escape Brothers", which is being broadcasted in Japan. By playing this film, the sales of products were really boosted, and the performance of Audi Toy Company exploded.
In the process of career development, Cai repeatedly considered that if you want to make your career bigger, you can't just stay in your hometown, go out and find a broader development platform. Therefore, Cai discussed with his parents and brothers to move the company's creative and marketing departments to Guangzhou. Despite their enthusiastic support, parents and brothers are also worried. They all think that Chenghai's culture advocates living and working in peace and contentment, and it is difficult for enterprises here to go out.
However, Cai decided to March into Guangzhou and founded Guangdong Animation Culture Co., Ltd., so that his business went beyond the toy industry and began to set foot in the animation and comic related film and television culture industry, and transformed into the animation culture industry. Cai's long-term goal is to let children all over the world watch animated cartoons and spread China's excellent culture to all parts of the world.
For Cai, animation is a strange industry. In order to avoid risks, Orpheus Animation Co., Ltd. first cooperated with Bandai in Japan to develop animation toy products such as characters and equipment in Diga Altman. After accumulating a lot of experience, Cai decided to invest 50 million yuan to make animation with extraordinary courage and wisdom. His idea caused resistance from the management of the company, and many people strongly opposed it.
It has been a long and difficult two years from the decision to shoot anime to the final production of the first film "The Young King with Long Firepower". During this period, almost no one dared to draw a conclusion as to whether it would be successful to invest a lot of money in animation.
It was not until "The Young King of Firepower" was well received by the audience that the management of the animation company admired Cai. Facts have proved that his decision is correct, and his enterprising spirit is the result of in-depth and detailed understanding of the industry. The launch of "Young King with Long Firepower" laid a solid foundation for Orpheus Animation Company to develop into a comprehensive animation toy company.
With the aura of the first animation in China, Orpheus Animation Company has made rapid progress. By 20 12, Cai had assets of 4.3 billion yuan. From 800 yuan, to the transformation of 4.3 billion yuan, from an authentic peasant doll to becoming rich, Cai's experience is legendary, and it is a typical struggle history of China coastal entrepreneurs.
