Life never takes anyone lightly

Chapter 11 Don't give up, don't give up, the world is yours (2)
Furthermore, a person's whole life is a time for education, and the world we live in is a big school.The people we meet, the things we come into contact with, and the experiences we gain are the best learning materials in this big school.As long as we open our eyes and ears, we can absorb good knowledge every day, every minute, anywhere.Then, in your spare time, by thinking and chewing over and over the acquired knowledge, you can integrate those fragmented knowledge into more refined and meaningful knowledge.

5. Dare to challenge yourself, self-confidence allows you to win everything

It is said that when Napoleon leads an army in battle, the combat effectiveness of the same army will be doubled.It turns out that the combat effectiveness of the army depends to a large extent on the soldiers' admiration and confidence in the commander.If the commander holds a suspicious and hesitant attitude, the whole army will be in chaos.It was Napoleon's self-confidence and strength that made every soldier he commanded more effective.

Strong self-confidence often enables ordinary people to do amazing things.Cowardly and weak-willed people, even if they have outstanding talents, excellent talents, and noble characters, can't achieve great things in the end.

A man can never achieve more than his self-confidence can achieve.If Napoleon, leading his army across the Alps, had just sat and said, "This is too difficult," his army would never have crossed that mountain, without a doubt.

Therefore, no matter what you do, unwavering self-confidence is the most necessary and most important factor to achieve success.

Strong self-confidence is the source of great success.Regardless of talent or talent, success depends on unwavering self-confidence.If a person believes that he can succeed, he will succeed.Conversely, if you don't believe in what can be done, you will never succeed.

Once, a soldier was riding a horse to deliver a letter to Napoleon. Because the horse was running too fast, he fell suddenly before reaching the destination, and the poor horse died.After receiving the letter, Napoleon immediately wrote a reply letter, handed it to the soldier, and ordered the soldier to ride his own horse and send the reply letter back as soon as possible.

The soldier saw Napoleon's strong horse, which was extremely ornately decorated, and said to Napoleon: "No, general, I am a mediocre soldier, and I really don't deserve to ride this gorgeous and strong horse."

Napoleon replied: "There is nothing in the world that a French soldier does not deserve."

There are people like this French soldier all over the world!
They think that their status is too low, that the happiness of others does not belong to them, that they do not deserve to enjoy it, and that they cannot be compared with those great people.This concept of inferiority and inferiority often becomes the main reason for not seeking to make progress and being willing to degenerate.

Many people think this way: the best things in the world are not what they deserve in this life.They believe that all the joys of life are reserved for the enjoyment of some favorite of fate.With this kind of humble mentality, of course there will be no concept of getting ahead.Many young people who could do great things and establish great careers actually do small things and live a mediocre life. The reason is that they give up on themselves, do not have great hopes, and do not have firm self-confidence.

Compared with money, power, background, relatives and friends, self-confidence is a more powerful thing, and it is the most reliable capital for people to engage in any career.Self-confidence can eliminate all kinds of obstacles, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and make the career a complete success.

There are also people who have a proper estimate of themselves at first, and they are confident that they can benefit everywhere, but they give up halfway after setbacks. This is because their self-confidence is not firm.

Therefore, it is not enough to have self-confidence, but also to strengthen self-confidence. In this way, even if they encounter setbacks, they will be unyielding, hardworking and enterprising, and will never shrink back because of temporary difficulties.

If we analyze and study the personality traits of those outstanding people who have achieved great careers, we can see a characteristic: before starting to do things, these outstanding people always have a strong self-confidence that fully believes in their own abilities, and firmly believes that the career they are engaged in will be successful. success.In this way, when doing things, they can devote all their energy to overcome all difficulties and obstacles until they win.

Marie Corelli said: "If I were a piece of clay, then my piece of clay should also be prepared to be trampled on by the brave."

If you always show humbleness in expression, words and deeds, and don't trust yourself or respect yourself in everything, this kind of person will naturally not be respected by others.

The Creator originally gave us great power and encouraged us to do great things.This kind of power is lurking in our minds, so that everyone has a grand strategy, and can make his spirit immortal and immortal.If you don't fulfill your responsibilities to your own life, and don't use your abilities to the fullest when you are most powerful and most likely to succeed, it will be a loss to human beings.

New things are emerging in the world one after another, and everything is waiting for people of insight to create.If you always show humbleness in expression, words and deeds, and don't trust yourself or respect yourself in everything, this kind of person will naturally not be respected by others.

6. Start with the subtleties and be an organized person
In many commercial firms where work is not planned and organized, there are quite a few well-paid employees doing extremely simple tasks, such as opening letters, sorting letters, and sending out leaflets.In fact, this kind of work, even those employees with meager pay can also be competent.

Enterprises like this without careful planning will never have great development.

Only a few firm leaders have done considerable research on time savings and staff capacity in the firm management process.But most leaders are not good at directing, and they can't make the work organized and systematic, so that they can't increase the efficiency of employees.In fact, not paying attention to the organization and efficiency of work is the biggest mistake in business.

People who work without order and lack of organization are always easy to suffer great losses due to improper handling methods.They don't know how to arrange business effectively; they don't know how to arrange the work of employees well; The necessary inventory, and the goods were not sorted out in time, and everything was messed up as a result.Such a business is bound to fail.

A well-known broker in the business world listed "doing things without organization" as a major reason for the failure of many companies.

People who work in an unorganized manner and want to build a large-scale enterprise will always feel that there are not enough people under them.They believe that as long as more people are hired, things will be done well.In fact, what they lack is not more people, but a way to make work more organized and efficient.However, they often do not do things properly, work without planning, and lack of organization, so even if a lot of energy and physical strength of the staff are wasted, it is still difficult to achieve great things in the end.

People who are not organized and do things without order will never be efficient no matter what kind of business they do.Organized and orderly people often have considerable achievements in their careers, even if their talents are mediocre.

I know a man who is in a hurry, no matter when you meet him, he is in a hurry.If you want to talk to him, he can only take a few seconds. If the time is longer, he will take out his watch and look again and again to imply that he is short on time.Although his company's business is large, it costs more.The main reason is that he has no order in his work and is confused.When he does things, he is often hindered by messy things.

As a result, his affairs were a mess, and his desk was nothing more than a garbage dump.He is often very busy and never has time to organize his things. Even if he has time, he doesn't know how to organize and arrange them.

This person has no organization in his work, let alone how to properly manage people. He only knows how to urge employees, but he just urges them to work faster, but he doesn't talk about how to be organized at all.

Therefore, the work of the company's employees is also chaotic and out of order.The employees are also very casual in doing things. If someone is urging them, they seem to be doing it seriously, and if no one is urging them, they will be perfunctory.

I also know a competitor in his industry who is the exact opposite.He never seemed busy, and was very composed, always calm and peaceful.No matter what difficulties others have to discuss with him, he is always polite.In his company, all the employees are silently working hard, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and all kinds of affairs are arranged just right.He organizes his desk every night, responds to important letters immediately, and keeps them organized.

Therefore, although the scale of his business is a hundred times larger than that of the previous businessman, others can't see his panic from the outside.He did everything with clarity, and his methodical, orderly style affected the entire company.As a result, every employee under him is also very orderly in doing things, and there is no sign of chaos.

Because the work is orderly and the handling of affairs is organized, he will never waste time in the office or disturb his mind, and his work efficiency is also extremely high.From this point of view, a person who has a method and an orderly way of doing things must have plenty of time, and his career must be carried out according to the predetermined plan.

Today's society is a world of thinkers and planners, and only those who are orderly and organized will succeed.And the kind of people who are confused and do things without order and organization have absolutely no chance of success in this world.

7. Meet yourself in the dark, die and live

The Civil War brought out all the talents of General Grant, like a torpedo with the explosive power to destroy ships.The same torpedo will never explode if it is only thrown by ordinary people. Children can also play with it as a toy, roll and hit it, and play with it casually without any danger.Only when it is put into the launcher, will it burst out with great power.

Likewise, man is not fully aware of his own potential.Only when disaster strikes or when there is an important responsibility to take on him can his greatest potential be brought into full play.

All the ordinary work of farming, tanning, lumbering, clerkship, and town labor was not enough to awaken the sleeping lion in General Grant, not even West Point and the Mexican War.

If the Civil War had not broken out in the United States, General Grant might not have been known to this day, and he would not have survived forever.The great power hidden in General Grant's body did not inspire his full talents until the outbreak of the Civil War.

And Lincoln, the great power in him was not inspired by the work of farming, logging, surveyor, storekeeper, or practicing lawyer, not even in the position of Congressman of the United States. His potential was not stimulated until the country faced life and death and he took on a great historical mission, which made him one of the most famous heroes in American history.

Throughout the history of mankind, such examples emerge in endlessly. Some outstanding figures only use great courage to find a way out of life when they have nothing, or encounter great misfortunes and disasters, and even try their best when they are at the end of their lives. A bloody path came.

Heroes are created by the times. After they struggled against the unbearable difficulties of ordinary people, they exerted their potential and became great men who are famous in the annals of history.They did not indulge in darkness, but died and survived.

In the history of the United States, many business elites did not show any special talents at the beginning of their careers. It was not until disasters struck, their industries dispersed, and they lost the crutches that supported their survival that their inner strength was stimulated.

All living beings, only when they lose their external support, lose the most precious things in life, and come to the point of having nothing, will they realize their inner strength.

The true strength of man lies latent in himself, and it can only be stimulated when he encounters great pressure.

Only when a person has no escape route before and is pursued by soldiers behind him, will he arouse all his inner strength.And when a person still has foreign aid, he absolutely does not know his true strength.

Many youth owe their success to adversity, such as the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or disaster.Only then will they continue to strive for self-improvement and fight for themselves!Therefore, young people who have lost support in their lives and are forced to struggle have forged a firm and brave independent personality, which will never be cultivated when people rely on external support.

Responsibility is enough to inspire our inner strength.True strength never comes from those who do not take responsibility.There are many able-bodied young men of humble origins and domination, chiefly because they have never had great responsibilities which have kept them from realizing their potentialities.As a result, they had no choice but to obey others, and it was difficult for them to have the opportunity to show their talents.

The ability to cope with difficulties and the talent to start a business can only be stimulated under the weight of great responsibility.

The life philosophy of "express what you have" has delayed too many young people.The great potential in the body may or may not be erupted, it all depends on whether your environment can stimulate your potential.Without the right environment, no matter how ambitious and confident you are, you cannot give full play to your talents.

The situation which entrusts a man with great responsibilities and drives him into a corner must inspire him to rouse his spirits to accomplish whatever is impossible by his own abilities.At the same time, other good qualities such as self-confidence and perseverance will also be developed.

So, dear reader, when a great responsibility comes your way, accept it with joy, for it is your great opportunity to succeed.

8. As long as you refuse to admit defeat, you have a chance to win
When Napoleon talked about his general Massena, he said that his true colors would not be shown in normal times, but when he saw wounded soldiers and corpses everywhere on the battlefield, his inner "lion" would suddenly come out. Outburst, he would fight like a demon with bravery.

There are several natures in human beings that will never be revealed, never exploded, unless they are greatly shocked and stimulated.This mysterious power is hidden in the deepest part of the human body, which cannot be stimulated by ordinary stimuli.However, when people are subjected to extraordinary ridicule, insult, and bullying, they will produce a new kind of power and do all kinds of things that they could not do before.

Tough circumstances, disappointments, and poverty have produced great men throughout history.

If Napoleon had not encountered any embarrassment and despair in his youth, he would never have been so resourceful, so calm, and so courageous.

Huge crises and events are often the gunpowder that inspires many great men.

A successful businessman once told me that every success he had in his life was the result of hard work.Therefore, he now feels a little unreliable about those effortless successes.He felt that only by overcoming obstacles and various defects and achieving success in struggle can people be happy.

Therefore, this businessman likes to do difficult things, which can test his strength and test his talents; on the contrary, he does not like easy things, because things that are not strenuous can not give him a chance to refresh his spirit and develop his talents.

I know a young man whose family background is very poor. Therefore, during his four years in college, he was often teased by his classmates who were rich.Being ridiculed by his classmates, he didn't give in to the ridicule, and determined to be a great man in the world from then on.

Later, the young man really had amazing success.He said that all the ridicule he received when he was a student turned out to be the best motivation for his ambition.
