No creature on earth has a worse living environment and living conditions than wolves, and no one can survive stronger than wolves. Perseverance is a nature of wolves, but isn’t it an innate nature of successful people? In today's society, lucky people are really rare. Survival is no longer easy, and success is even more difficult. And with the perseverance and strength of a wolf, like a wolf who never gives in to any difficulties or challenges, how could such a person fail?
A wolf and its prey fell into a trap set by a hunter. After howling miserably for a while, it realized that calling again would not only bring no help, but might even help. Invite the hunters and hounds, and you'll have to rely on yourself.
After the wolf rested for a while, he began to dig out from the wall of the well. It was a big project: to dig out a slightly inclined slope from the wall of the well, and then he could jump out. Fortunately, it was a wolf that was trapped. If it had been any other beast, it would have caused death by howling in despair right now.
The wolf was clawing, digging, using its head, and using every life-saving movement of its body to save itself. Compared with the huge trap, the wolf seems so small. However, the only difference is that the wolf has an indomitable fighting spirit. It understands: digging a little means digging a little, and the claws are broken, the head is broken, and the fur is scratched. Even though it was bleeding, the wolf continued to dig. Although the trap could trap the wolf's body, it could not trap the wolf's fighting spirit.
After a day and night of desperate struggle, a bloody and scarred wolf walked out of the trap. It exchanged strength for freedom, and regained life through unyielding. The stumbling wolf looked up to the sky and roared at the moment when the sun pierced the forest sea, as if to demonstrate to the sky. The wolf regained his freedom and returned to the family. Not only that, he didn't even leave his prey behind.
History cannot prove who is older in the evolutionary process between wolves and humans, but what is certain is that after thousands of years of vicissitudes, both wolves and humans have survived and thrive to this day. The difference is that the wolves have a much harder time surviving than humans. Faced with the harsh natural environment, scarcity of food, competition among species, and crazy hunting by humans, if it weren’t for the wolf nature of perseverance, perseverance, and courageous struggle, the wolf clan might have disappeared from the earth long ago.
Having a tenacious and courageous spirit is the most precious. Only with this spirit can we overcome all difficulties and achieve success. When someone recommended a friend to a company's personnel director, he cited many of his advantages. The personnel director asked: "Can he maintain these advantages?" This is really the most critical question. The first is, are there any advantages? Then, with the advantages, can they be maintained? Can you persevere in the face of failure?
Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan once told such a personal experience:
Whenever Reagan was frustrated, his mother said this: "The best always comes. Come, if you persevere, one day you will have good luck and you will realize that it would not have happened without the previous disappointment."
His mother said it well. Correct, when Reagan graduated from college in 1932, he also understood this truth. Reagan planned to get a job in radio and then try to become a sports announcer.
So Reagan hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every radio station, but every time he got no results. In a broadcast studio, a very nice woman told him that a big radio station would not take the risk of hiring an inexperienced newbie. He also advised Reagan to try to find a small radio station where there might be an opportunity.
Reagan hitchhiked back to Dixon, Illinois. Although there was no radio station in Dixon, Reagan's father said Montgomery Ward opened a store and needed a local athlete to run its sports section.
Since Reagan played football at Dixon High School, he applied. The job sounded like the right fit, but it didn't work out. Reagan's disappointment was palpable.
His mother reminded him: "The best will always come." His father lent him a car, so Reagan drove 70 miles to Terai City.
Reagan tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director was a very nice Scot named Peter MacArthur. He told Reagan he had hired an announcer. As Reagan left his office, his frustration set in. Reagan asked loudly: "If you can't work in a radio station, how can you become a sports announcer?" Reagan was waiting for the elevator when he suddenly heard MacArthur's voice: "What were you talking about sports just now? You Do you know football?" Then he stood Reagan in front of a microphone and asked him to broadcast a game from his imagination. As a result, Reagan was hired.
In this regard, Carnegie's famous saying is: "Don't give up until you achieve your goal."
McDonald's President Ray Kroc once said to employees: "Only persistence and determination are the best." Almighty. Only persistence and determination are the most important qualities for success. What is talent? Is it common for people who are talented but not successful to succeed? Rewarded talent can only become a laughingstock. Can education lead to success? The world is full of educated people who are abandoned by society.
"Japanese Toyota Motor Company is one of the three giants in the world's automobile industry (General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota). An important reason for achieving such results is persistence.
In the 1920s, Kiichiro Toyoda still chose Automobile manufacturing industry. After studying in the United States, he returned to Nagoya, Japan, for trial production, but he decided to persist.
He analyzed the reasons for the failure of the backward industry. Overcoming this difficulty, he began to design and manufacture his own engines. From 1933 to 1936, he built the first trucks and buses. , due to high fuel consumption, loud noise, and slow speed, the market response was poor.
Faced with this another failure, Toyoda Kiichiro decided to persevere.
Japan's foreign war of aggression began. After the war, the army needed a large number of military trucks, which provided an opportunity for Kiichiro Toyoda. In 1938, the United States produced 3.5 million vehicles per year, but Japan could only produce a few thousand. In 1945, Japan unconditionally surrendered and the war ended. , Kiichiro Toyoda had to stop producing military trucks. At that time, Japan's economic downturn made it difficult to sell civilian cars, and Toyota was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Facing another setback, Kiichiro Toyoda decided to stick to it. /p>
It was not until the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 that the United States purchased trucks from Japan. In the 1960s, Toyota began to try to enter the U.S. market, but it was hit hard as soon as it entered. It failed miserably. The Crown sedan didn't have enough horsepower to drive on U.S. highways. Was that the end? Did Toyota decide to stick with it, even if it was just registered in the U.S.? 50 or 100 cars, just build a bridgehead.
It took Toyota 7 years to launch the first car that was successfully sold in the United States. Now, Toyota has passed. 80 years of history. During these long years, if we give up at any time, one of the three giants in the world's automobile industry will miss Toyota.
Toyota. Success comes from persistence.
