1. A successful life is a perfect life

A successful life is a life of hard work, a life without any regrets, a life with clear goals and striving for them. A life that seizes opportunities. Harvard University has conducted scientific and systematic investigations and verifications on success in life, and believes that success in life must have three major factors: first, macro management ability, second, practical operation ability, and third, ability to deal with interpersonal relationships. Among them, the former two only account for 15-20, and the latter account for 80-85. This is surprisingly similar to the formula of a survey test conducted by Tsinghua University in my country: success = 15 knowledge and skills 85 interpersonal relationships. The interpersonal relationship here does not refer to the usual vulgar human relationships, but to the ability to control life, adjust life, and resolve conflicts.

Everyone wants to succeed, but they often regard success as unattainable. In fact, a successful life starts from every bit and every drop, and success is very close to us. If you want to move towards success step by step, you must start from now, start from achieving the "five skills", that is, being able to laugh, listen, speak, do, and think. As long as you want to succeed, as long as you work hard, as long as you succeed a little bit every day, a successful life will be closer and closer to you!

2. The fable of the iron ring

An iron ring accidentally lost part of itself. So I desperately searched for the lost part. But because it is not round, it rolls very slowly. But because of this, it saw flowers and plants that it rarely paid attention to and made friends with them.

Hard work pays off, and one day, it found the missing part. With it, although it is perfect, it will run very fast and will no longer be able to talk to flowers and plants...

3. Churchill's weakness

Churchill's speech skills impressed the world. There was extraordinary courage and strength in the wording, tone and gestures of his speech. During the most difficult period of World War II, the spiritual support of the British military and civilians was almost Churchill's daily radio speeches. But who knows that Churchill was very shy when he was young, and would blush whenever he spoke. After he determined his lofty goals and ambitions, he determined to overcome this shortcoming. A few years later, he startled everyone with his graceful demeanor and his words.

4. Washington’s Teeth

In 1784, five years before Washington became President of the United States, he was just 52 years old and almost lost all his teeth. He asked a dentist to implant nine teeth into his mouth, and these nine teeth were actually extracted from the mouths of his black slaves alive. This was just discovered by historians through archeology. The hero Washington who once liberated the black slaves suddenly slipped in our hearts, and we seemed to see a stain on the holy robe. But if you think about it carefully and consider the social background of the time, it is not surprising. Yes, seeing someone as a saint is because we don’t know enough about him and can only look at him from a distance, thus painting him with various colors in our hearts, and then lowering our heads to increase his height. In this sense, we have Washington to thank for being imperfect.

5. Incorrigible

King Li of the Western Zhou Dynasty lived a luxurious life and cruelly oppressed the people. At that time, there was a loyal minister named Fan Bo, who often risked his life to persuade him, hoping that King Li would correct his evil ways. However, not only did he not receive the attention of King Li, but he was ridiculed by the treacherous ministers.

Looking at the gradually weakening power of the country, Fan Bo felt particularly anxious, so he wrote a poem to warn these villains. The main idea of ??the poem is: It's not that I said these things that I shouldn't say because I'm old, but that you treat worries as child's play. When troubles have not yet come, they can be prevented; but once troubles become more and more numerous, they are like a blazing fire, and there is no way to remedy them.

Sure enough, the people soon drove King Zhou Li to a far away place and never let him come back again.

6. Haier’s inspiration

In the eyes of many Chinese people, Haier, a successful company, is already very powerful and great. However, a reporter who has followed Haier for many years said that among the many companies he has come into contact with, Haier has the strongest "sense of concern."

Haier Group CEO Zhang Ruimin often says: "Be cautious and walk on thin ice." Over the past 16 years, the average annual growth rate has reached 81.6, and the annual sales revenue has exceeded 40 billion yuan. It has achieved great success not only at home but also abroad. It is worthy of our deep thought that a high-profile enterprise can have such awareness. According to Zhang Ruimin, their strategy for entering China is very simple: winner takes all. Their goal is not to leave any market or territory for you. Needless to say, many of our companies, not to mention weak companies, even leaders like Haier, are still far behind compared with the Fortune 500 companies, and they dare not relax or slack off at all. It is more beneficial than harmful to face the seriousness of challenges realistically, fully estimate the strength and difficulties of competitors, think about the worst and work hard for the best.

The lady took out a bottle with five small balls in it, each with a string. The lady said to the five children: "Each of you grabs a small ball. You must pull them all out of the bottle within 7 seconds, otherwise you will be drowned by the water in the bottle. Remember, you can only hold a small ball if you are jealous. If you get a small ball, whoever gets it out slowly will be in danger of drowning." The oldest of the five children thought for a while, then whispered a few words to the other four children, and then signaled. Madam, you can order. The lady said: "Start!" The youngest child pulled out the ball first, then the second, third, and fourth balls came out, and the oldest child was the last one to pull out. All 5 balls were pulled out within 7 seconds. The lady was stunned by the actions of the Chinese children in front of her, and then she shed tears of emotion. She said: "I have done this experiment several times in other countries. The children were all fighting to pull them out. As a result, they were squeezed into the bottle and no one could get out. They all drowned in it. Chinese children are amazing!"

With more than 200 majestic high-rise buildings spread across cities around the world, the Hilton Group can compete in the fierce competition.

Marshal Chen Yi, who made great achievements in the liberation of the Chinese people, served as the Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs shortly after liberation, and had a very busy job. In 1962, when he returned from a visit abroad, he passed by his hometown and took time to visit his old mother who was seriously ill. Chen Yi's mother is paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of herself. When Chen Yi entered the house, the mother was very happy. Just as she was about to say hello to her son, she suddenly remembered that the diaper she had changed was still beside the bed, so she motioned to the people around her to hide it under the bed. When Chen Yi saw it, he hurriedly said: "Mom, you have been bedridden for a long time, and I can't be by your side. I feel very sad. I should wash these pants, why hide them?" The mother was very embarrassed after hearing this, and the people next to her hurriedly Take out the diapers and rush to wash them.

13. Caring is respected

Those who know how to care for others are respected by the world. In the past, a Canadian scientist accidentally moved two pieces of uranium and rushed towards each other while doing an experiment. If these two pieces of uranium come into contact, they are as powerful as the explosion of a small atomic bomb. At this critical moment, the scientist used his own hands to break apart the two pieces of uranium. The crisis was overcome, but the scientist also received too much radiation and unfortunately died in the line of duty. In recognition of his great philanthropic spirit, the government awarded him the title of "the man who separated the atomic bomb with his hands." He used his great love to selflessly care for others and all mankind. He won people's eternal admiration and admiration for him.

14. Enlightenment from ants

Ants have given us many inspirations - unity is strength, never be discouraged, etc. Here I will also tell a story about ants: Two ants wanted to look for food on the other side of the wall. One ant climbed up along the wall and fell off halfway. This was repeated several times. When the other ant saw this happening, he went around the wall to the other side. By the time the first ant climbed over the wall, that ant had finished eating the food. The first ant let himself lose food with the "virtue" of never being discouraged and never giving up. This kind of thing not only happens in the simple-minded ant country, but is also common in our developed human society: some writers blindly summarize their successful experiences, and as a result, their future works have the same style as their previous works, with no innovation and no Nothing new. Isn't this a kind of sadness that doesn't give up? It can be said that giving up is a new breakthrough and a prerequisite for transcending oneself. A person who gives up easily is a weak person, a person who does not give up is a fool, and a person who knows how to give up is a wise person.

15. Nokia’s success

A company in the business world is like a person in society. In the journey of its life, there are many temptations, and it is easy to go astray. It is valuable. What is unique is that once a world-famous brand company identifies its own point, it not only resists temptation, but also dares to abandon everything else in order to focus all its efforts on this point. The most typical example is Nokia. In 1990, Nokia was on the verge of bankruptcy due to an overly broad range of industries. Later, the boss decided to focus on just one thing - mobile phones and abandon all other industries (including selling a pharmaceutical factory with an annual profit of US$8 million). Five years later, it became A comeback.

16. Mei Lanfang’s artistic virtue and beauty

In 1952, Mei Lanfang performed "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" on the Wuhan stage. Mr. Wang Qinsheng was watching Master Mei's performance upstairs at the front desk. Originally, the original sentence "Not to mention that Zhu Qiansui is very immoral" has always been full of praise, but this day there was no praise. Mr. Wang was very strange. After careful consideration, it turned out that every time Master Mei sang this line, he always faced outwards and pointed outwards with his gestures; but on this day, while singing, his face turned towards the old lady sitting in the middle of the stage. After it passed, the colorful sound disappeared. While having a late-night snack, Mr. Wang made his opinion bluntly. The next day, Master Mei changed his mind and won the house again. Mr. Mei treats people with sincerity and encourages each other. During the performance, if an actor on the same stage accidentally made something wrong, he would never lose his temper and discipline them. Instead, he would put out a fire and try his best to smooth things over. After he got off the stage, he would give a few words of care and comfort. When performing "Dragon and Phoenix" in Qingdao in 1952, the actor playing the role of a young eunuch shared the stage with Master Mei for the first time. He was very nervous and blurted out that he called the unmarried Sun Shangxiang "Empress", which caused a lot of trouble. Master Mei comforted him gently: "Don't be sad! Next time, you will play the role of the little eunuch, so you won't mispronounce it!"

17. Rose on the Ruins

Not long after the end of World War II, someone saw roses blooming on the window sill in the ruins of a German city. From the roses, he saw the extremely high humanistic quality of this nation, and predicted that this nation will surely be reborn from the ashes.

18. A survey data

The International Assessment of Educational Progress conducted a survey on basic education in 21 countries around the world.

At the same time, Chinese students still spend 4 hours a week on math after returning home, while children in other countries spend less than 1 hour a week studying math at home.

19. Moral pressure from the public

I went to Australia a few years ago. When visiting the natural landscape of "Pocket Penguins Returning Home", the administrator repeatedly emphasized in advance that in order not to affect the night habits of the little penguins, no flash should be used when taking photos. But there happened to be someone who leaned forward and flashed the light to grab the shot.

The crowd was suddenly furious. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I saw a tourist walking over, his eyes wide-eyed and his face flushed. He gestured and asked the unconscious person to take away the flashlight. Suddenly, the person holding the "flash" became frustrated and quickly put away the camera. A healthy and good environment requires everyone to come forward to maintain it, and this kind of strong moral pressure from the people is what we lack.
