"Yaohan" was once the largest retail group in Japan.President Kazuo Wada has developed a small vegetable store into an international retail group with 400 department stores and supermarkets around the world, a total of 2.8 employees, and an annual sales volume exceeding 5000 billion yen after half a century of hard work. . In 1997, when he was trying to open up the Chinese market, his younger brother who stayed in the Japanese headquarters suffered a major setback due to his careless management, and finally had to declare bankruptcy.

From the president of a large international group to a penniless pauper, from a mansion with a lot of land and a lot of money to a one-bedroom apartment, from taking a Rolls-Royce special car to buying a ticket and taking a bus by himself... this is a matter for the 68-year-old Kazuo Wada As far as it is concerned, it is tantamount to going from heaven to hell.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in public opinion and different opinions.Some people say that he will definitely not be able to get up, and can only quietly die in poverty; some even speculate that he should commit suicide, just like many people who go bankrupt overnight.However, the facts were beyond everyone's expectations. Kazuo Wada did not fall into a slump, let alone choose to commit suicide cowardly, but "resurrected" with vigor.He took the first step from running a consulting company, and later cooperated with several young people to start an online consulting company.Although he entered an unfamiliar field, with his hard work and past experience and lessons, his business has been booming step by step.

In the face of such ups and downs in life, he can still turn defeat into victory and make a comeback. Many people admire him and are also very curious, thinking that he must have some "secret weapon".To this, his answer is that if there is a secret, it is self-motivation.He also explained that it was his constant self-motivation that kept him from losing hope even in the face of huge failures, and that he still believed in a bright future even at the bottom of his career and life.Under the support of this belief, he is determined to go back on the road.

Kazuo Wada has a unique set of self-motivation methods, that is, he has been insisting on "mind training" for many years.He once said: "If you want to truly achieve happiness in life, you need to have the open-minded idea of ​​'it's okay, everything will be fine'." This kind of spiritual training is very necessary.Since he set foot in the mall, he has been insisting on writing "Bright Diary", recording the things that make him feel happy every day.Kazuo Wada said: "If you want to improve your destiny, you must constantly encourage yourself with positive words and keep yourself in a cheerful mood. This is very important."

In addition to "Bright Diary", Kazuo Wada also created "Happy Regular Meeting".In the monthly work meeting, Kazuo Wada stipulated that everyone should spend 3 minutes before the meeting to find out three happy things from what happened this month and tell everyone. "At the beginning, it was difficult for everyone to find three happy things. Later, after developing a habit, everyone wanted to publish ten happy things, not to mention three. If this continues every month, everyone gradually Show a smiling face." Kazuo Wada is very proud of his achievements, and this unique way has indeed effectively mobilized the optimism of the employees.

Many unsuccessful people are not without the ability and potential to succeed, but they give up mentally.When they suffer setbacks, they will only feel sad secretly, lamenting that their fate is not good, but never cheer themselves up. They are used to "disadvantages", and as time goes by, only failure is with them.

There are also some people who do not give themselves incentives, nor are they not optimistic, but they leave their promises to themselves behind and did not earnestly achieve the goals at that time.They are so optimistic that they never think about their future, and optimism becomes their defect.

The variables in life are too frequent. Maintain a good attitude of "quality and quantity" and an optimistic mental state. It will become the driving force that dominates people's actions and help people calmly deal with various things and difficulties while talking and laughing freely, even if a certain failure Well, people won't be left in a slump.Optimism helps people learn from their failures and reach the pinnacle of success again.
