Li Ka-shing, the famous Hong Kong industrialist, once said: "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy the hard work of childhood." After being tempered by the harsh environment, they were able to overcome the double spiritual and material poverty. We have a real understanding of the meanings of ancient sayings such as "Being poor but not having any complaints", "Being poor cannot be bullied", "Being poor is not enough to be ashamed".
Hard environment plays a great role in honing a person's character, motivating one's fighting spirit, and enhancing one's ability. Only by accepting the temper of a difficult environment can you achieve success. Building a career depends on ambition, which is the backbone of a career. Therefore, everyone who wants to contribute to the country must have a firm ambition.
By accepting the test of a difficult environment, you can temper your will, which is the psychological process of consciously determining your goals and controlling your actions to achieve your predetermined goals. This psychological process is manifested in human actions. It has two meanings: First, human will is purposeful and conscious. If a person does not have a clear and ambitious goal in life, his actions will lose direction and motivation, and he will be discouraged and unable to recover after a slight setback. On the contrary, if a person has a clear and ambitious goal, he will be able to consciously act according to the goal. If you don’t achieve this goal, you won’t give up easily.
It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to know how to accept the test of life and strengthen one's will in the test. Successful people in the business world make up a beautiful landscape, and when these people tell their stories of their early struggles and later successful relationships, their stories are quite convincing.
Li Ka-shing is one of them. He succeeded after experiencing thousands of pains, but why can't other people be like Li Ka-shing? It is because they do not have a strong will that they succumb to the harsh environment.
In Li Ka-shing’s life, the process of winning wealth can also be said to be a typical inspirational story of young people’s struggle and success: a young man, with bare hands and a lot of energy, was diligent, studious, and worked hard. Create a world of your own. A few years ago, Li Ka-shing became the first "hundred billionaire" in Hong Kong history. Today, his wealth is still growing exponentially, and every move he makes in the business field attracts great attention from the world. For thousands of young people who are struggling for their career future, Li Ka-shing’s story is also a signpost on their road to life.
When Li Ka-shing first came to the plastics company as a salesman, there were seven salesmen in the plastics company. At that time, Li Ka-shing was the youngest and most junior salesman. It was obvious that he was not on the same starting line. Li Ka-shing is obviously at a disadvantage in this competition.
As for Li Ka-shing, he is arrogant and arrogant. He does not want to lose to others. He sets a goal for himself: in 3 months, he will do as well as other salesmen. After half a year, surpass them. Li Ka-shing puts pressure on himself, and with pressure, he has the motivation to work hard. There is Kennedy Town in the northwest corner of Hong Kong Island, and most of its customers are in the Central District of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula across the sea. Li Ka-shing has to set out every day with a big bag containing samples, take a bus or ferry, and then walk non-stop through the streets. If others work 8 hours, he will work half as long as others. In the process of starting a business, no matter how difficult Li Ka-shing encountered, he would always be grateful for the training he had received in his past life. He is not the kind of person who is physically strong, but more like a weak scholar, running around with a big bag on his back, which is really hard to do. Fortunately, he worked as a teahouse waiter for a year, carrying a big teapot and running back and forth for more than ten hours a day, which developed a lot of perseverance. He developed a hobby of observing people in the teahouse, which came in handy now when he was doing sales. When interacting with customers, he never forgets to observe their appearance and judge how likely the deal is to be concluded and what else he needs to do. Li Ka-shing succeeded precisely because he endured hard and difficult training.
In a person's life, it cannot always be smooth sailing, and the environment in which life depends on survival cannot be all greenhouse gardens, but sometimes it is full of thorns, difficulties and dangers. Some lives, in the midst of difficulties and dangers, cannot withstand the obstacles and torture of difficulties, and degenerate or die in the process of life; some lives lose the confidence to fight against difficulties and setbacks in superior environments. and ability; but some lives have walked through the bumpy mud along the way, endured humiliation and heavy burdens, and used strong faith, perseverance, and a high attitude to break through the traps of misfortune and the cage of difficulties. In the difficult environment, their vitality is stronger and more powerful. tenacious.
People who live in superior conditions may lose a lot of precious things. As the saying goes, the ears of blind people are particularly good. This does not mean that the ears of us normal people are not good, but that we have given up. For another example, although some people have lost their upper arms, they are able to use their feet to complete their daily lives, and can even use their feet to perform artistic activities such as writing, painting, and seal carving. However, many people with sound limbs cannot do these. Many people learn to cherish their health after a serious illness, realize how difficult life is when they encounter difficulties, and realize how important it is to them when they lose something precious... There are many such examples. Adversity makes life stronger, more mature and more brilliant.
Those people in the world who have rich life experience and achieved success often have had ups and downs in life, have suffered setbacks, and been tempered in difficult environments. Of course, there are also people who have succeeded in good times, but in the face of difficulties and setbacks , a difficult environment can breed tenacious vitality, even if difficulties have knocked down some people.
The more difficult the environment, the more difficulties and setbacks there are, the more tenacious and magical vitality can be created. The difficult environment and setbacks are not terrible. What is terrible is that we are eliminated by the difficult environment and knocked down by setbacks. , lost ideals and beliefs, and at the same time lost the ability to fight against difficulties and setbacks.
