Life, the last card

Life is like a card game. God shuffles the cards and plays by himself. You can never predict whether you will win or lose until the last card. Only by holding the last card can you win by surprise.

What will be the last card in your life?

I came across such a story before.

1923 a motor of Ford company in the United States broke down, and all the engineers and technicians of the company failed to repair it. When he was very anxious, Stan Inman was recommended and Ford sent someone to invite him. After he came, he didn't do anything, but asked for a mat next to the motor, listened attentively for three days, then asked for a ladder, climbed up and down for half a day, and finally he drew a line on a part of the motor with chalk, and wrote the words "There are many windings here 16 turns". Ford technicians dismantled the motor according to Stan Inman's suggestion, and the motor worked normally.

Mr. Ford, the president of Ford Company, appreciates this German technician very much. He first paid him 1 ten thousand dollars, and then personally invited Stan Inman to join Ford. But Stan Inman told Mr. Ford that he couldn't leave the small DJ dance factory because the owner helped him in his most difficult time.

Mr. Ford first felt extremely sorry, and then he was deeply moved. Ford is a very powerful company in the United States. People are proud to join Ford, but he gave up such a good opportunity to repay debts.

Soon, Mr Ford decided to buy the small factory where Stan Inman lived. The board members felt incredible: "How did such a small factory enter Mr. Ford's field of vision?"

Mr. Ford said, "Character is rare because of Stan Inman."

After reading this story, I found that ability is very important, but on the basis of equal ability, character has become your turning point. If Ford's first invitation is because of ability, then the second acquisition is because of personality, as Ford said.

Poor health is waste, and bad thoughts are drugs. Character is the real highest education.

Being a man in advance is an unchanging truth since ancient times. How to be a man not only reflects a person's wisdom, but also reflects a person's accomplishment. No matter how smart and capable a person is, no matter how good his background is, if he doesn't know how to be a man, his personality will be poor, and his career will be greatly affected. Only by being a man first can we do great things. This is an old saying. Our ancestors have long emphasized the importance of "being a man first".

People are ultimately judged by their character.

In life, we have to associate with people at any time, and it is inevitable to know people by looking at them. In the process of communication, we often pay attention to a person's ability, attitude and personality, while a person's ability and attitude towards others will change, but his personality will not change.

Therefore, people often say that liking a person begins with face value, ends with talent and ends with character.

Face is very important, otherwise you may not have a chance to be seen. Personal charm is more important, it depends on whether I am tired of looking at your face and will continue to be attracted to you; Personality is the most important thing, and no matter how excellent a person is, he can't compare with pots and pans, rice, oil and salt. People only live once. Who doesn't want to find a person who is most trustworthy and willing?

If people want to get along with each other for a long time, in the final analysis, it depends on personality.

Our ancestor-Confucius, whose thoughts can be said to be the precipitation of China's 5,000-year cultural heritage, told us that "if a son wants to achieve something, he should be a saint first", "have both ability and political integrity, and take morality as the head", and "if virtue is the source of water, it is the wave of water". This shows that the Chinese nation has always paid attention to the truth of being a man.

I thought of a colleague I used to work with. As a team leader, I felt a lot of pressure at that time, because I found that this colleague was not only arrogant, but also did not pay attention to commitment. The promised deadline can never be completed within the specified time, which leads to the indignation of other colleagues in the team and the helplessness of completing the project with him. But later, no one wanted to cooperate with him on this project. Although he is in charge of the core technology that the team can't match, the team members are still unwilling to cooperate with him. Later, the department manager also realized this problem. No matter how good a person's ability is, if his character is not good, he can't be an excellent team member. The department manager tried to recruit new people to share this colleague's work, and finally drove away the colleague with bad character.

No one wants to be in a team with people with bad character.

As the old saying goes, lucky people have their own nature. When his ability is not strong, try to be a good person and improve himself. After all, your luck won't be bad.
