Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, once said, "Don't say you can't do it before you try." This sentence hit my pain point - defeat before fighting. . Whenever I make up my mind to do something, there will always be "invisible barriers" in my heart, such as "This thing is difficult," "It's better not to do it," "It shouldn't be possible." "Such thoughts. Have you ever had such an experience?

Howard Schultz told the story of his "Joining Starbucks": He was attracted by a small coffee shop called Starbucks. For this reason, he traveled all the way from New York to Seattle for a field trip. this store. In this regard, he said a very classic saying: "This (Starbucks) is my Micah. I have arrived." So he decided to give up a job with an annual salary of 75,000 US dollars, and took the initiative to cut his salary to look for the possibility of joining Starbucks. . Once, at an interview dinner with a founding partner of Starbucks, although he performed extremely well and was sincere, he did not get hired as expected in this round. However, he still had confidence in Starbucks' future, and he couldn't accept "no" as a final answer. The next day, he calmly made a call to Jerry, the founder of Starbucks, and expressed his enthusiasm for Starbucks, his enthusiasm for coffee, and his enthusiasm for opportunities. He mustered up the confidence from the bottom of his heart to express his desire to Jerry. Attitude to join. Eventually, he was hired by Starbucks. From then on, a new world opened in front of him, just like a scene from "The Wizard of Oz", where black and white all turned into color. The almost impossible became a reality. Since then, both Howard Schultz and Starbucks have changed. They have made each other successful.

Howard Schultz said that in the 15 years since then, that is, when he was writing the book "Pour Your Heart Into It," he had been thinking, "What if I had just resigned myself to my fate?" , accept their decision (not to hire him), and what happens?” Because most people turn away from a job when they are turned down. The same situation happens one after another in our lives - it's just that the problems are different and the manifestations are different. Many times, we have been told that it is impossible, but there are still a small number of people who will try their best to fight and argue, and finally turn things around. Howard Schultz is such a person.

Martin Luther King once said a famous saying, "The ultimate measure of a man is not how he stays when things go smoothly, but how he responds to criticism and controversy." "In your daily life, you will encounter pressure from friends, family, colleagues, and even a lot of pressure from yourself, asking you to take the easy way out and follow a common and wise approach. . If you don't want to simply accept the status quo and do what everyone expects you to do, it will become difficult, but in any case, don't let the cold water of life extinguish the enthusiasm in your heart! What you need to do is to be brave and try. Please don't say "I can't do it" before trying.

Yes, life is often composed of a series of mistakes. What we attribute to "bad luck" here is not entirely due to luck in the final analysis. In fact, what you should do is seize the moment and be responsible for your future. You must have this spirit, that is, the spirit of "Don't say you can't do it before you try it." Dare to try, dare to stick to the path you have determined.

At the end of writing, I remembered Goethe's famous saying: "Whatever you can do or dream of...just start doing it. Bravery contains talent, energy and magic."

"Indeed, don't say you can't do it before you try it!
