The poor are poor, the rich are rich

Chapter 36 3 Making excuses is blocking the way out
Chapter 73 Making excuses is blocking the way out
Finding excuses is the easiest thing in the world. Make excuses when you encounter difficulties, find excuses when you do something wrong, one excuse, two excuses... When all the excuses pile up, wealth may come to you and tell you : "I don't need too many excuses, just one, and you have no reason to succeed."

Excuses are addictive things that over time can destroy a person's spirit and will.A person can find many excuses to justify his failure, but these excuses also form a step, allowing the poor to follow the steps and naturally walk into the bottomless abyss where they cannot develop, and eventually they will be poor for a lifetime.

A rich man does not make excuses for himself under any circumstances. He knows that even the perfect excuse will not work for him at all. What he wants is a solution to the problem and a summary of the lessons learned from failure.These are also steps, but these steps will take them to the top of their careers.

Chen Xi, Chief Technology Officer of Changwang Technology, started his own business three times, and won the champion of Dragon TV's "Shark Tank" in 2005.Chen Xi started his own business for the first time after graduating from university at the age of 18. One year later, he exited with the company being acquired for $400 million.But his second venture failed.At that time, Chen Xi injected 2000 million yuan into a private company in Xinjiang, seeking to list his own company through this company.However, Chen Xi encountered great trouble when carrying out the reorganization of the two companies.

The original management of the Xinjiang company did not trust Chen Xi very much. Their structure was extremely complicated, the shares they held were almost the same, and the resolutions made by the shareholders' meeting were extremely chaotic.Moreover, the company has a large number of personnel, and the monthly salary is only 70 million.No one listened to Chen Xi, and in the end the company was forced to go bankrupt, and Chen Xi was in debt of several million.

If it were someone else, giving up would definitely be the best relief, and making excuses has become a matter of course.Few people can handle that much pressure, especially for a young man in his early 20s.

After the failure of the second venture, although Chen Xi was frustrated, she was not discouraged, nor did she make excuses, but summed up her experience in time.He felt: "The failure does not lie in product strategy and operation, but in unclear capital operation and strategy, and unclear long-term planning." After that, he entered university to study, recuperate, and regroup.

In 2004, Chen Xi started his third venture, founding Shanghai Changwang Technology Information Technology Co., Ltd. to operate mobile games.Before starting this business, Chen Xi learned the lessons from the last failure and made adequate preparations.From why it aims at the mobile phone market to what kind of mobile games it develops, it has carried out careful research and planning.Facts have proved that Chen Xi's judgment this time is correct, he did not repeat the mistakes of last time, the company's business is booming, and now his net worth is tens of millions.

The reason why many people can succeed is that, in addition to their own abilities, they never make excuses.People who make excuses will only get a moment of peace and comfort, but they will bring greater hidden dangers and lead to more serious failures.Smart people only look for solutions and not excuses, just like Chen Xi, learning from failures and regrouping is the most important thing, looking for excuses will only block the way out.

We all know that "money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible".But many billionaires start out with little capital, which means money isn't the only basic ingredient they need to succeed.Lack of funds is not the reason or excuse for their failure to succeed. An excellent business idea or concept, as well as a positive and broad vision, are the must-haves.Among all the living beings in the world, everyone has more or less talents, passions or hobbies that can bring economic benefits.The question facing would-be billionaires is how to put those talents, passions, or hobbies to good use.

Wealth is not far away, it is in every corner of life.Abandon the thoughts that hinder your progress, think diligently in the face of difficulties, truly apply wisdom to getting rich, and let past experience pave your way to success.
