Chapter 11 Beware of the Invasion of Wealth Killers
Chapter 111 Arm Yourself Against Unemployment

Unemployment is undoubtedly a disaster for modern people.Although many people complain at work that they really want to fire the boss, take a good rest.But I am really unemployed, but I miss the fulfillment of going to work.When you are unemployed, you can sleep late at home, but it is very uncomfortable to sleep late; when you are unemployed, you can go shopping, but you can only enjoy the eye addiction, and cannot afford the vanity you desire; unemployment is synonymous with failure in the eyes of most people ; Unemployment proves that you have done very unsuccessfully in the past.So how to prevent unemployment?

To guard against unemployment, you must arm yourself to be the most valuable and irreplaceable person you can be.And the best magic weapon to arm yourself is to learn.

We all know that Li Ka-shing owns a huge industrial and commercial kingdom and is the richest man in Asia.When asked how to get rich, Li Ka-shing replied: "Rely on knowledge." A foreign businessman once asked Li Ka-shing: "Mr. Li, what do you rely on for success?" Li Ka-shing replied without hesitation: "Rely on knowledge." Learn, keep learning." The secret of Li Ka-shing's success is to keep learning knowledge.

Li Ka-shing is diligent in self-study and never forgets to read under any circumstances.He persisted in studying when he was part-time job when he was young, persisted in studying during his entrepreneurial period, and continued to study tirelessly during the period of running his own "business kingdom".Li Ka-shing reads books before going to bed at night. He likes to read biographies. No matter in medical care, politics, education, or welfare, he admires and admires all those who are helpful to all mankind.Li Ka-shing works more than ten hours a day and still insists on learning English.In the early years, I specially hired a private teacher to attend classes at 7:30 every morning, and then go to work after class, every day.As early as when I was running a plastics factory, I subscribed to English plastics magazines, not only learning English, but also understanding the latest trends in the world's plastics industry.Studying English hard makes Li Ka-shing different from other entrepreneurs who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to develop in the early days.Back then, Chinese who knew English were "rare animals" in Hong Kong society.Knowing English allows Li Ka-shing to fly directly to Britain and the United States, participate in various trade fairs, and directly deal with foreign investment consultants and bank executives when negotiating business.Today, Li Ka-shing is more than seventy years old, but he still loves books as much as his life, and insists on reading and studying continuously.

Li Ka-shing is willing to pay the price of being a leader: in order to continuously improve his level, broaden his horizons, increase his skills, and realize his potential, he has made various necessary sacrifices.Through his own hard work, he finally became a person admired by others.The best leaders are those who are constantly growing, developing, and learning.

Learning does not happen overnight, and many people often make excuses for themselves: the future is long, there is plenty of time, and I will learn tomorrow.In this way, tomorrow and tomorrow, I will give myself some excuses every day, let go of time and give up my studies day by day, and in the end there will be no progress.Some people think that their situation is different. They work in the company every day and fail to study hard because they are too busy and tired.In fact, this reason is not sufficient. Chen Feng, the chairman of Hainan Airlines, is a self-taught person who uses his spare time to learn.

"I encountered the Cultural Revolution when I was studying. I was only in the sixth grade of elementary school. I joined the army at the age of 15. I didn't have much formal education, and I felt the importance of knowledge reserves." In half an hour, I finished reading "General History of China", "History of Chinese Philosophy", "History of World Philosophy" and other tomes.Chen Feng also pays attention to improving his quality in many aspects.When the army assembled, he saw the leader reading a speech on the stage, and he secretly made up his mind that he must speak out in the future.So I often practice speeches in front of the river, and I can speak eloquently without a piece of paper in my hands.He never took a single day of English class. When he was working at the Civil Aviation Administration of China in his early years, he got up half an hour early every morning to study on his own, and he was admitted by the government to study abroad in one fell swoop. The others who were admitted were all college students majoring in English.

Up to now, Chen Feng still maintains the military way of life, getting up at 5:30 every morning, reading, practicing calligraphy, and remembering his experience.No matter how busy I am, I keep writing "Quiet Night Essays" in teeny lowercase letters all day long.

If everyone has such a spirit of seeking to learn, their talents and learning will inevitably increase over time.
