Guide: Work hard now, just for the dream to come true one day. The following is a complete collection of celebrity stories about dreams coming true. Welcome to read!
Dreams come true celebrity story 1: Joule Joule, a famous British scientist, loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself.
One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing.
He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals reacted after being stimulated by the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother.
Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He and giggle rowed to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They filled the musket with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake.
At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened?
Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch.
After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher.
The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. "
Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist.
Celebrity Story 2: Ms. Andrea Jung 1958, a China girl named Ms. Andrea Jung was born in the eastern Canadian city of Toronto. In the fourth grade of primary school, girls are very eager to have a box of brushes containing 120 colors. Her parents could see her desire for brushes, so they reached an agreement with her: if you can get all A's in the exam, we will buy you a set! In order to get that set of brushes, Xiao Binxian locked herself in her room to review her lessons, and she ignored all birthday parties and tennis matches. By the end of the year, Xiao Binxian finally handed in a report card filled with "A" to her parents and got her dream 120 color brush.
At the age of 20, Ms. Andrea Jung graduated from Princeton University, majoring in English literature. Soon, she went to work in Blooming Department Store and became a salesgirl at the grass-roots level. With her own efforts and enthusiasm for work, after 12, Ms. Andrea Jung began to take charge of all the women's wear business of the company.
At the age of 34, Ms. Andrea Jung married Mike Gould, CEO of Blooming Department Store, who was 15 years older than her. In order to avoid suspicion, in the second year after marriage, Ms. Andrea Jung resigned from this company and started looking for a new job.
In the process of re-employment, Avon, as a century-old cosmetics manufacturer, won the favor of Ms. Andrea Jung, who has been engaged in women's clothing business. She soon joined Avon.
Shortly after Ms. Andrea Jung joined Avon, she met with CEO Jim. That time, when Ms. Andrea Jung went to his office to report his work, he saw four footprints printed on a decorative board: an ape, a man's barefoot, a man's leather shoes and a high-heeled shoe. There is also an inscription on it: this is the evolution of leadership! Inadvertently, Jim said this to Ms. Andrea Jung: "I have been inspiring all my life. I believe that in the next 10 year, a woman will lead Avon!" After listening to the CEO's words, Ms. Andrea Jung's heart surged, and she buried a dream deeply in her heart.
In just one year, Ms. Andrea Jung became one of the leading cores of Avon Company with rich management experience and excellent ability. In the following days, her career life has been smooth sailing.
1997, CEO Jim planned to retire, and Ms. Andrea Jung and two others became candidates for CEO of Avon. At this time, Ms. Andrea Jung has been the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Avon, who is responsible for many Avon affairs and is well known by the industry. It can be said that she radiates quite amazing light in American business circles.
However, the outstanding performance and external affirmation are still not as good as those of women in the workplace. Ms. Andrea Jung, who always thought he was the most suitable candidate for CEO, finally passed the position: another person named Charles Palin took over the position of the new CEO! The reason why the board of directors chose Charles Palin is that there has never been a female CEO in Avon 100 years of history!
The decision of the board of directors had a great influence on Ms. Andrea Jung. When she was desperate, many other business representatives came to her door with DJ dance music and wanted to hire her as their CEO. In the face of such a kind invitation after setbacks, Ms. Andrea Jung smiled and refused one by one after a painful struggle: "The name and title are not as good as my enthusiasm for Avon!"
It is this kind of enthusiasm that Ms. Andrea Jung has been insisting silently.
1999, Avon is in crisis: the stock plummeted! By June 1 1, the company's sales and profits in the fourth quarter fell sharply, and the stock plummeted by 50%! Shortly thereafter, CEO Charles Palin resigned, Avon fell into do or die, and the board of directors had to find another CEO. They thought of Ms. Andrea Jung.
When Ms. Andrea Jung learned that the board of directors wanted her to be appointed to drive Avon, she didn't complain at all and began this heavy burden. White Lies Because of Ms. Andrea Jung's good reputation in the business world and her various reforms to Avon, Avon's crisis was quickly solved and gradually matured. When the crisis ended, Ms. Andrea Jung couldn't help coming to Jim's office. Looking at the four footprints on the wall, she felt that Jim's words were like ears. Of course he didn't know. After hearing these words, he made such a dream: to be the first female CEO in Avon's century-old history!
Ms. Andrea Jung was only 40 when he took over as CEO of Avon. When talking about her success in leading Avon through many difficulties, she said: "I will never forget the incident in the fourth grade of primary school. My parents instilled in me the belief of persisting in dreams and pursuing perfection early! " It is this persistent insistence that Ms. Andrea Jung finally realized his dream buried for many years!
Celebrity Story 3: It took Yu Liang ten years to transform Yu Liang from a professional manager to a real estate tycoon.
After 20 1 1 year, Yu Liang became thinner obviously. It is completely different from the chubby and tepid general manager Yu before. With the change of its image, it is Yu Liang's style. In the dialogue and communication with media reporters, Yu Liang often grasps reporters' questions and throws them back in a humorous, relaxed and depressing way. While resolving the sharpness of the problem, it also won him room for manoeuvre. A brand-new Yu Liang style was born, witty, strong and humorous.
Yu Liang even dared to say it. In different public occasions, he even took the initiative to ridicule his differences with Wang Shi. Rumors, rumors about the resignation of Liu Aiming and other senior executives, have not been avoided, and have been clarified voluntarily. He didn't seem to mention it on purpose, but he did. He was the general manager of finance in his early years, and his caution and composure can't be concealed.
It took Yu Liang ten years to transform from a professional manager to a real estate tycoon.
What you gain is confidence.
1965 12, Yu Liang was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu. His mother is an ordinary worker and his father is an engineer. Perhaps because of his talent, Yu Liang got good grades in science. When he was admitted to the Department of International Economics of Peking University, he got full marks in mathematics. When he was in college, his favorite books were romain rolland's john cleese Dover and William Manchester's Glory and Dreams, which seemed to constitute the ideal background of this young man: john cleese Dover's struggling life fascinated him; The American dynastic history depicted in Glory and Dreams gives him a sense of self-confidence-an era rising in chaos is the best stage to achieve a mortal.
At this time, a small fishing village in the south of China echoed with a slogan: "Time is money, efficiency is life." A group of dreamers and gold diggers tried to build this place called "Shenzhen" into an "ideal country" on the blueprint. Yu Liang read the story about Shenzhen in the newspaper again and again, and also saw the fierce debate about whether Shenzhen should be called a child or a shed. The more heated the argument, the more Pandora's box-like charm. 1988 After graduating from university, Yu Liang chose to go to Shenzhen.
Yu Liang said: "I have been pursuing change in my heart, so I keep thinking and changing. At that time, I felt that change was ideal. "
Two years later, due to the shrinking business of foreign trade companies in Yu Liang, he submitted a thick proposal to the leaders, suggesting that the company develop chain retail business in the Mainland, but the proposal fell into the sea after being handed in. He wants to leave.
1990, Yu Liang met Wang Shi under the introduction of Vanke. In his autobiography Road and Dream, Wang Shi gave a brief description of the meeting: in the early 1990s, Vanke's personnel policy towards students from Peking University and Tsinghua was unprofessional, attracting a young man. On this day, the chairman's office at No.50 Heping Road received a bookish young man. There is a resume and a "business chain model" plan on the table. The applicant's name is Yu Liang, and he graduated from Peking University majoring in international economics. I used to work in Shenzhen Foreign Trade Group and saw Vanke recruiting talents for chain business.
At this time, Wang Zheng is ambitious to build his company into a diversified and collectivized army. At that time, the net assets of 5,654,380,000, the aura of "listed companies" and more than a dozen business categories decorated this small company. "I think they are ideal," Yu Liang said, "so I decided to join." In addition, another reason for Yu Liang's choice is that Wang Shi not only read his thick proposal, but also made detailed annotations.
After joining Vanke, Yu Liang's main job is securities and investment. On may 28th 1993, Vanke listed 45 million b shares and raised 45 1.35 million hong kong dollars, so Yu Liang made a splash.
This B-share issuance, Vanke not only obtained capital, but also was questioned by international investment banks. They didn't realize the diversity of Vanke. At that time, their octopus-like tentacles have extended to real estate, retail, securities, industry, culture, and even distilled water and movies have their minions. The investment bank said, what exactly do you do? I can't measure your value.
Also 1993, Shanghai Vanke City Garden was put on sale. This remote project near the airport was unexpectedly sought after by returnees. You know, just a year ago, when Wang Shi and Yu Liang came here, it was still a large area of farmland, with only sparse oxen and tractors. At many retreats, I got a judgment: China's future city-building movement will give the mass housing market unlimited imagination.
1994 one day, Yu Liang came to Wang Shi's office and asked him directly, why am I not the deputy general manager? Wang Shi replied, yes, why don't you? Two years later, Yu Liang, who finished subtraction, got the position of deputy general manager. This version of the dialogue appeared in 1992, when Yu Liang "wanted" the position of department head.
100 billion course
In 2000, after Yu Liang took full charge of the company, he was faced with a huge opportunity. At the moment when he took over power, his "mentor" Wang Shi did not give any special explanation, or even made a long speech. In an interview, Wang Shi's evaluation of Yu Liang was only two words: "practical" and "exquisite". In his view, this should be an essential virtue of an excellent manager. But if you think these two words are not lethal at all, you are wrong. As a soldier, he also gave Yu Liang an evaluation-the epee has no front.
After taking office, Yu Liang started the "Piracy Plan" and began to dig people from China Shipping Real Estate; In addition, he also presided over the issuance of convertible bonds to raise funds. This is also the reserve strength of this person who is only one meter tall. At that time, Vanke's real estate income reached 2.4 billion, but at that time he was already trying to achieve 654.38+0 billion in five years.
In 2003, at a high-level retreat held in Haiyun Mountain Villa, Shenzhen, a group made a 10 development plan with sales exceeding 100 billion. At this time, Wang Shi jumped up and said, "You young people don't exaggerate!" At that time, Vanke was being strongly challenged by Sunco. Wang Shi believes that the goal of 1000 billion yuan is the irrationality of young people under pressure. He said that Shun Chi was not that important. Yu Liang thinks this has nothing to do with Shunchi, but the market has given us this opportunity.
Wang Shi finally believed in this young man and his seemingly unreachable vision. But there is no doubt that Yu Liang must refine Vanke into a world-class company in management and operation. In 2004, at the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Vanke's founding held at China World Hotel in Beijing, Yu Liang formally proposed to use 10 to realize 1000 billion, while the sales of Vanke in that year were only 9,654.38+0 billion.
20 10 achieve the goal of 100 billion four years ahead of schedule. On that day, Yu Liang sent a notice email to every employee, with a calm tone and no special excitement. He just made a little celebration in his heart at the moment when the email was sent. If there is anything special, I'm afraid it will be a commemorative coin distributed to every employee in a few days. Its front is engraved with the number of 65.438+000 billion, and the back is Mount Everest, because that year, Wang Shi climbed there again.
Yu Liang loved Drucker's words: "A well-managed factory is always boring, and there is no exciting story." In Yu Liang's resume, this person who likes peace in his heart is unwilling to use "great joy and great sorrow" to mark a certain moment in his life. As a manager, he regards it as a duty to be step-by-step and logical. "Everything is running on the track we imagined. The result is here, how can you have a special feeling? This is not a lucky draw. If there are any unexpected joys and sorrows, it can only show that we still have loopholes in management. "
It seems a little mechanized to demand your own life on an industrial scale, but this is not Yu Liang's face. In fact, he has always resisted any label given to him by the outside world. He doesn't like to sum up his life and achievements in a simple way (he hasn't summed them up himself). If there was a time when he gave himself an expensive watch every year to "reward" himself, then three years ago, he suddenly had an epiphany and it was a bit shallow to prove himself in this way. He found a more interesting way to test his body and will-losing weight.
In 2008, when Yu Liang joined Vanke, he suddenly had an inexplicable idea to reduce his weight from 75 kg to 64 kg in two years, and regarded it as a gift for his 20 years of joining Vanke.
An idealistic dissolute life
14 years ago, 46-year-old Wang Shi began to climb the snow mountain for the first time in his life. For Wang Shi, every mountaineering is a spiritual journey that can never be obtained in the world of mortals. 13 years later, 45-year-old Yu Liang set foot on the top of the snowy mountain for the first time. For Yu Liang, the snow-capped mountains to be set foot on in the future are also a journey of challenging myself again and again.
At that time, Wang Shi put on pink clothes and appeared on the cover of fashion magazines with Angel. 20 1 1, Yu Liang wore a pink shirt, which attracted many amazing eyes.
Vanke is really a strange enterprise, or the president of Vanke always leads a willful life.
If you want to show off Yu Liang's itinerary, you will envy those business executives who are busy with ups and downs.
On May 6th, I stood at the top of 6206 meters of Chess Peak.
In May, I participated in the cycling race in Zhuhai Station.
In June, participate in the cycling race of Shunyi Station;
In July, visit Mustagaatta;
On September 3rd, I climbed Siguniang Peak at an altitude of 5276 meters. ...
However, Vanke did not flinch because of President Yu Liang's rush to bicycle, marathon and mountaineering. On the contrary, in the past three quarters, Vanke has made great achievements, occupying the top spot in the industry with total sales of 97.08 billion yuan and total sales area of 84 1.2 million square meters.
10 years ago, when Wang Shi handed over the helm of Vanke to Yu Liang, it took the 35-year-old man three years to adapt to the new role of general manager.
10 years later, there are more and more similarities between Yu Liang and Wang Shi. 20 1 1, Yu Liang lost 7 Jin, his chubby face became angular and his posture became more capable and solid. In addition to riding a bike to exercise, Yu Liang began to climb snow-capped mountains. More importantly, in Vanke's development strategy, Yu Liang is also consistent with Wang Shi. "I agree with many points made by Chairman (Wang Shi)," Yu Liang often stressed.
Personally, Yu Liang and Wang Shi are very different. Yu Liang is younger than Wang Shi 14 years old. Different times, different educational backgrounds, different life experiences, and even Wang Shi's fiery and tenacious personality are in sharp contrast with Yu Liang's delicacy and steadfastness. But when Wang Shi promoted Yu Liang to the position of general manager, he undoubtedly believed that Yu Liang could continue his dream.
Some people regard Wang Shi as the "spiritual leader" of Vanke, and Yu Liang also said that "we should understand the words of Chairman Wang Shi from the spiritual level". But from a certain point of view, Wang Shi and Yu Liang are more like a pair of partners. What keeps them together is trust. Wang Shi once said: I am happiest when one of my views is finally proved wrong and they (Yu Liang and the management) are right. I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why Wang Shi studied abroad safely.
20 10, the completion of the target of 100 billion marks the breakthrough development of Vanke, a huge ship driven by Yu Liang. However, in the more than two months after Vanke broke through 100 billion sales, Yu Liang said the most to the outside world: "Forget the scale and figures!"
Sometimes, Yu Liang has to walk back to reality from the ideal. The most realistic problem now is: after100 billion, Vanke's "first half" has ended perfectly. As the president of the world's largest housing enterprise, where will Yu Liang, 45, take Vanke? Where is Vanke's "second half" and "climax"?
Obviously, finding the balance between ideal and reality is the biggest test that Yu Liang will face.
