Small experience, big wealth

Chapter 1 Preface
Not a spectator of life It was a sunny June day, and I was busy working on the bookstore I was about to open.A bricklayer named Xin Jingmin was building the steps of a storefront for me. He was chatting with me while he was working.

Xin Jingmin asked me: "Boss, people in our hometown are all bricklayers. Some people's ancestors have been bricklayers for three generations, and their children are small bricklayers. I'm sweating all over, and my child's education can't keep up, I really want to change my career, what do you think I should do?" I smiled: "Let me tell you a story:

"A reporter went to the yellow land of Shaanxi to report. On the way, he saw a teenage boy herding sheep on the hillside. The reporter went up and asked him, why do you herd sheep here? The child replied: Marry an aunt.

"The reporter asked again: Why marry a mother-in-law?
"The child said again: Give birth to a baby.

"What are you doing having a baby?
"The child said: Herd the sheep..."

The bricklayer said: "So I don't want to continue this cycle anymore, I don't want my child to be a little bricklayer in the future, I want to change the fate of our family, but I don't know what to do." I said: "Actually, I don't know either. We two met for the first time, how could I know what you are suitable for? Now you dare to go out from your hometown, and you can earn 5 to [-] yuan a year with your bricklayer skills. This is already the first step of your success. It is also the first step to rewrite your destiny. You don’t want to stand still, this is your progress. A person should have a long-term life plan, and at the same time have a short-term life plan every three to five years. Do brickwork You can support your family, but if you want to live a well-off life, you have to go to a new level.

Look at my friends, they haven’t been out for a long time. When they first came to Dalian, they only had [-] yuan in their hands. After coming down, within a few years, they will be worth several million yuan!What do you think [-] can do now?That's enough to cover a family's living expenses for a year.But if you put it into your planned career and stick to it to the end, maybe the [-] yuan may change your life's destiny. On that sunny afternoon, I was chatting with him while he was working. The young man did his work neatly. Before leaving, I gave him an extra [-] yuan. Xin Jingmin said: "Is it okay to work for you?" All your money has been collected. After so many years, no one has ever said such words to me. This is the first time I heard such pleasant words, and every word touched my heart. "Perhaps what I said really reached this young man's heart. After the work was done, he actually cleaned the place where he was working. In the end, he threw his tools and the construction waste into the in the trash.

I was surprised and asked: "Why did you throw away all the people who make a living?" Xin Jingmin said: "I think one sentence you said is very correct." "Which sentence?" I used to be like this. I lay on the bed at night and my stomach was full of flower bones. When I got up in the morning, I still habitually carried the set of bricklayer’s tools on my back. The flower bones in my stomach just couldn’t bloom. Now I am I have made up my mind, and I must gamble with [-] yuan. If I lose the bet, I will work as a bricklayer for nothing. If I win the bet, in your words, won’t I win the rest of my life? Don’t throw these belongings away I'm afraid I will habitually carry it on my back tomorrow morning..." I really don't know whether my words saved this young man or hurt him.In fact, everyone who is unwilling to be lonely and has a little thought does not want to slide down the inertia of life, and everyone is eager to succeed.

When success comes suddenly, cheers, applause, garlands, medals, ribbons, honors... come overwhelming.However, behind every successful person there are actually a lot of unspeakable helplessness and a lot of emotional stories.

It's just that the light of success is like a fig leaf, covering up the helplessness and emotion.

Zeng Xianzi started as a street vendor, right?Jackie Chan started by acting as a double, right?Didn't Galanz, which is well-known in the field of microwave ovens, also start as an OEM for others?
As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand will die.A general's fame has been achieved, but behind him are thousands of dead bones buried in the ground.Just like the moon in the sky, what you see is its bright and bright side, but you can never see its dark side; like the landscape painting on the wall, what you see is its beautiful and beautiful side forever, but you It is rare to see the dust that has accumulated over the years on the back of it.

Back then, Edison, the great American inventor, actually conducted tens of thousands of experiments in order to find a filament that could be put into normal use, and it was tens of thousands of different experiments, that is to say, he made [-] assumptions, and then Overturn your own assumptions one by one.

Napoleon Hill once asked Edison: "What would you do if the [-]th experiment failed?" Edison replied: "I won't be here to talk to you. At this moment, I will shut myself in the laboratory. Do the [-]th trial." This is attachment.Constantly find mistakes, constantly adjust the direction, constantly correct mistakes, and finally succeed.

Edison's lights turn darkness into light, making the world more dazzling and colorful.And all this is because there is always an immortal lamp burning in Edison's heart.

In fact, life is a process of constant experimentation. Because of countless failures, we find the right way out, and we have the opportunity to succeed; because of success, we have the courage to continue to try and fail.

So what is the most important thing in life?It's an experiment!Be brave enough to try.

We can't just stand in the distance and admire other people's scenery, envy others' success, and we can't just be spectators in life.The important thing is how to throw away the old habits and household items, and bravely experiment and try.Don't just stand by the river and stare at the fish in the river, but go home and weave a net.Just like the bricklayer I was chatting with believed in respecting the people. If he wanted to achieve something and rewrite the history of the rest of his life, he had to go all out without hesitation.

I dare not say that I am a successful person. I am just a traveler on the road. The things written in this book are just some "scenery" I saw on the road. I will record them and wait for everyone evaluation.I don't dare to say lightly whether the things I have recorded are considered experience, maybe they are just some trivial skills, and they are far, far away from the realm of bending a bow and shooting a big eagle.But you have to start doing things little by little, you can’t become fat if you eat at one bite.A big business starts with a small business, and the kung fu of shooting a big eagle starts with the skill of carving a small bug.

As long as you have a good start, that is half the battle.Go on without looking back, there will always be milk and bread in the future.

Friends, let’s get on the road as soon as possible. I hope that when you enjoy the scenery on the road, you will also become a beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.
