"Day after day, I will do better and better in all aspects." This is the famous saying of Emile Cué, a French psychotherapist. In Britain and America in the 192s, this sentence was repeated by thousands of people. At that time, it was an indispensable thing for people every day. People repeat this sentence within the specified time every day, and they repeat it every time the idea flashes in their minds. They believe that doing so can enhance their self-confidence and prepare for the success of their career and life.
Self-confidence can generate a great power, which can really push us to success. One afternoon, the drizzle kept falling. Charles, an American scholar, was only 12 years old at that time. At this time, he was scribbling on paper and drawing a Philip cat, which is a character in a comic strip that everyone likes. He took the book to his father. At that time, it was a bit reckless, because every Sunday afternoon, my father took a lot of reading materials and a bag of figs and hid himself in their so-called living room and closed the door to do his business. He doesn't like being disturbed.
But this Sunday afternoon, he put the newspaper aside and looked at the picture carefully. "Great, Charles. Did you draw this picture yourself?" "yes." Father looked at the painting carefully and nodded his head in appreciation, while Charles was shaking with excitement. My father almost never said a word of praise and rarely encouraged them five brothers and sisters. He returned the painting to Charles and picked up his newspaper again. "You are very talented in painting, stick to it!" From that day on, Charles painted everything he saw, filled up his exercise books and didn't care about what the teacher taught him.
After his father left home, Charles had to find a way to live by himself. He often sent him sketches that attracted him and waited eagerly for his reply. Father seldom writes letters, but when he writes back, any praise in them excites Charles for several weeks, and he believes that he will achieve something in the future.
when Charles' father died, it was the recession of American economy. Charles had no other income except welfare, so he had to leave school at the age of 17. Encouraged by his father's words, he drew three paintings, all of which were famous "junior players" Joan Primu, Harvey, "second-rate players" Jackson and Chuck Connacher in Toronto Maple Hockey Team, and handed them over to Mike Lohden, the sports editor of Toronto Globe and Mail at that time, without agreement. The next day, Mike Lohden hired Charles. For the next four years, Charles painted a sports print for the Globe and Mail every day. That was Charles' first job.
Charles, an American writer, had not written a novel when he was 55 years old, and he didn't intend to do so. The idea came to him when he applied for a cable TV network license from an international consortium. At that time, a friend in the management department called and said that his application might be rejected. Charles suddenly faced such a question: "What shall I do in the future?" After consulting some files, Charles occasionally wrote a memo for himself, including more than a dozen sentences with scrawled fonts, and wrote down the basic plot of a movie. He sat silently in the office for a while, wondering whether to continue the work, and finally picked up the receiver and hung up his friend and novelist arthur haley.
"Arthur," Charles said, "I have an idea that I think is unusual, and I'm going to write it into a movie. How can I hand it over to some agent or producer or anyone who can make it into a movie? " "Charles, the chance of success in that way is almost zero. Even if you find someone to adopt your idea and turn it into reality, I guess you won't get much reward for this story. Are you sure that's really an unusual idea? " "yes." "Well, if you're sure, oh, mind you, you must be sure to bet on it for a year. Write it into a novel. If you can do this, you will get income from the novel. If it is successful, you can sell it to the producer and get more money, which is far from the story outline. " Charles put down the receiver and walked a long way: "Do I have the talent and patience to write novels?" When he meditated in this way, his confidence suddenly increased. At the same time, the conceptual framework of the novel also formed an outline in his mind. He saw himself investigating, arranging the plot, describing the characters, starting to write, and then polishing it ... He would gamble on it for a year.
One year and three months later, the novel was completed, and it was published by mcclelland and Stewart Company, Simon Company, Schuster and Emma Pocket Book Company in the United States, and in Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan and Argentina. As a result, it was made into a movie-Kidnapping the President, starring William Schattner, hal holbrook, Ava Gardner and Van Johnson. After that, Charles wrote five novels.
it was self-confidence and action that made him get what he wanted.
in p>1926, omura wennian, who graduated from the law department of the university of Tokyo, joined Mitsubishi mining as a clerk.
When the company held a welcome party for the newcomers, he said to his colleagues who entered the company at the same time, "I must become the general manager of this company in the future."
after his brave words, he made his long-term plan. With his strong fighting spirit and amazing physical strength, he worked tirelessly for decades. Later, of course, he far surpassed many senior cadres and colleagues. Under the background of no faction, he broke through the danger completely by his own strength and finally became the general manager of Mitsubishi Mining thirty-five years later.
in terms of the history of Mitsubishi chaebol, it is unprecedented to become the general manager of a direct company before the age of 6. His inauguration shocked Japanese business people, who were all surprised and deeply admired.
Coincidentally, in 1949, a 24-year-old young man confidently entered the General Motors Company of the United States and applied for an accounting job, just for the sake of what his father once said, "General Motors Company is a well-run company" and suggested that he take a look.
When taking the exam, his self-confidence impressed the assistant accountant prosecutor very much. At that time, there was only one vacancy, and the examinee told him that the position was very difficult, and it might be difficult for a novice to cope with it, but he only had one thought at that time, that is, to enter General Motors and show his competent ability and superhuman planning ability.
When the candidate hired the young man, he said to his secretary, "I just hired a man who wants to be the chairman of General Motors!"
This young man is roger smith, who became the chairman of General Motors in 1981.
Art West, Roger's first friend who just entered the company, recalled: "During the month of cooperation, Roger solemnly told me that he would become the president of GM in the future." A high degree of self-confidence urges him to move towards success forever, and it is also a magic weapon to guide him to the chairman through the financial ladder.
