No matter you are the darling of God or the lucky one in the world, you can't have everything in life. What should you do when one day unfortunately knocks on the door of your life, for example, you suddenly lose your loved ones, suddenly get sick, and suddenly your business is broken? Complain about others, cry or even abandon your life, then you are a weak person. You should be "not afraid in times of crisis, not surprised in times of change", be calm, not discouraged, not discouraged, face difficulties with detached perseverance and tenacious will, accept difficulties and overcome them!
Perseverance, also called will or persistence, is one of the important qualities that a successful person must possess. There is a proverb in the west: "A man with perseverance can squeeze water out of a stone." Angel believes that "all persistence will be rewarded sooner or later." All these show the importance of perseverance.
Simon Fogg, editor-in-chief of The Times, is often invited to give lectures on how to find a job for recent graduates of British universities, because he has created a myth about job hunting.
It was the day after Simon Fogg had just graduated from Birmingham University. He came to London to look for a job and decided to try his luck in The Times first. After making full preparations, he came to the office of the general manager of the newspaper. Simon Fogg asked the general manager, "Do you need an editor?" "No need." "Where's the reporter?" "No need!" "What about the compositor and the proofreader?" "No, not at all. We don't have any vacancies now. " At this point in the conversation, almost all job seekers will be disappointed. Because the general manager's attitude shows that the newspaper is "impossible" to hire anyone at present. Simon Fogg doesn't think so, but he will continue to work hard! This is why he can work miracles. ) "Then you must need this." He took out an exquisite sign from his bag, which read: full, no employment for the time being.
It can be seen that he had a premonition that he would be rejected. "Do what you know you can't do" is the premise of creating "miracle". Of course, "exquisite brand" is Fogg's outstanding place and his creation. Can we also learn something from it?
As a result, Simon Fogg was retained by the general manager and engaged in newspaper propaganda. Twenty-five years later, he rose to the position of editor-in-chief
Fogg found a job under the condition of "no vacancy" and became the editor-in-chief after years of hard work, which just shows that "the door to success is always open" Is it because of the lack of Fogg's perseverance that we flinch in the face of those seemingly impossible difficulties?
Dickens thought: "Perseverance can conquer any peak in the world." Franklin thought: "Only a ninja can realize his ambition." Mark Twain thought: "The human mind is amazing. As long as they focus on a certain cause, they will surely achieve amazing achievements. " From these proverbs of great men and celebrities, we can realize how important perseverance is to the success of our cause.
One day, a middle-aged man with unkempt face, sad face and greasy hands trudged into the fortune-telling hall of a famous fortune teller in Mong Kok. Obviously, he has suffered great setbacks. I hope the fortune teller can point out the maze and avoid evil spirits. Who knows, fortuneteller criticized the subway station like this:
"Your fate, and wealth. I think you should find a job with peace of mind and be a wage earner-you are not suitable for starting your own business. "
Suffering from such setbacks, most people will be depressed and unhappy. But this 50-year-old down-and-out buyer is an out-and-out "life-maker"-the fortune teller's words inspired his fighting spirit. With extraordinary confidence and perseverance, he faced adversity, went upstream, became more frustrated and brave, and finally became a rich man.
199 1 On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the world's second largest fireworks display was held in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, when smoke filled the Middle East. Zhenxiong Group, the sponsor of this colorful performance, is an industry organization, breaking the tradition that similar performances have been monopolized by commercial organizations for many years.
The founder of "Zhenxiong" is Jiang Zhen, a poor middle-aged man, who asked the fortune teller about his future. The secret of "mildew" to "prosperity" in Jiangzhen is self-confidence and perseverance.
Jiangzhen once worked as a coolie, a miner, and even drifted to Japan as an overseas staff member of the US military for several years. In this way, after living a precarious life with his family for several years, by chance, Jiangzhen was finally introduced by his neighbors to work in Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company.
This job became a turning point in Jiangzhen's life. He first came into contact with the knowledge of mechanical repair, which laid the foundation for his future industrial career. Learning by doing, he bought many books on machinery and operation to enrich himself and pave the way for future development and success. After leaving the "port machine", Jiang Zhen was transferred to an American-run aircraft parts factory "Shillolo" as the general manager. During this time, he not only further increased his machine knowledge, but also learned valuable management lessons. "Shiluoluo" was finally acquired by He Jie Group, because it didn't get the permission of the Hong Kong government, and Jiangzhen had to resign.
From 65438 to 0958, Jiang Zhen and his friend Tan Xiong used a little savings to open a small machine parts processing factory in Dakan Village, and Zhenxiong was named after them.
After a year, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Tan began to produce some bottle blowing machines to make medical plastic medicine bottles. After that, they tried to make a bottle blowing machine and introduced a series of film extruders.
Unfortunately, due to their limited funds and backward production technology, the machines they produced were quickly eliminated by the market. Tan Xiong, a partner, saw that the business was not good and was disheartened, and offered to withdraw his shares. Since then, Jiangzhen has been fighting alone and acting alone.
Jiangzhen has a strong will and is not depressed by failure, but he still studies the production and improvement of bottle blowing machines. As a one-man gang, he can't "hook up" with the Shanghai gang, Chaozhou gang, Fujian gang and Guangdong gang and run alone. He stays in the factory for nearly 20 hours every day and often doesn't even go home.
1965, "Zhenxiong" introduced the advanced screw direct injection injection molding machine, and won the "Latest Product Honor Award" at the 24th Industrial Exhibition of China Manufacturers Association.
Since then, Zhenxiong has continuously innovated and improved its products, and its business has developed from Hong Kong to overseas. 197 1 developed the first four-ounce screw full oil pressure supercharged direct injection molding machine in Hong Kong, which was highly praised by the factory and established the industrial position of "Zhenxiong".
But it didn't last long. From 65438 to 0973, a global catastrophic oil crisis broke out in the Middle East. The plastics industry in Hong Kong bears the brunt. During the August 8- 10/October period of 1973 alone, 77 plastic factories closed down.
"Zhenxiong" owed more than 2 million yuan to the bank and was forced to repay by the bank. Jiangzhen negotiated with the bank and was allowed to sell the inventory and machinery, and repay the arrears on a monthly basis.
During this period, Jiangzhen worked 20 hours a day to try his best to overcome this crisis. As a result, three months later, he repaid more than 654.38+00,000 debts. The bank saw that Zhenxiong had a good reputation and did not pursue further debts. Zhenxiong survived. After the economic recovery, Zhenxiong Group's commodities are in short supply, developing like fireworks, soaring and shining.
Now, Zhenxiong Group's machinery is exported to more than 40 countries in the world. Its annual turnover is as high as 1 100 million yuan, and its employees exceed 1400.
Jiang Zhen's first half life can be described as vicissitudes of life, but he believes that this is precisely the basis of his success: "A person who truly knows life must personally experience inner pain and physical training." It is this kind of "inner pain and the tempering of skin and flesh" that makes Jiangzhen constantly strive for self-improvement, overcome and surpass the suffocating hard environment and become an industrial giant.
Li quoted Jiang's way of success in "Celebrity Developed Archives": "The road is made by yourself. As long as you stick to it all the time, people with perseverance will succeed." This sentence is reminiscent of Dr. Hill's famous saying: "All great leaders ... base their success on' clear goals'."
Jiangzhen also deeply felt the importance of confidence and perseverance in creating wealth: "Entrepreneurship is now and now ... As long as you have confidence, are willing to work hard and study hard, opportunities will naturally come."
Jiangzhen did not hesitate to encourage "confident people" to start businesses: "There are many business activities in today's society, the social economy is prosperous, and the demand for talents in society is relatively increasing. Therefore, in today's society, as long as you are talented, skilled, diligent and confident, the chances of starting from scratch are much greater than before. "
