Why sell yourself at the right time?

The ancients said, "There is Bole in the world, and then there is a swift horse." It means that if Bole doesn't find you and appreciate you, it's hard for you to make a difference even if you are a swift horse. But in today's society, if you just wait for Bole to come to you, you are wrong. Because "swift horses are common, bole is not common." Be sure to be your own bole and sell yourself properly, so as to find your own bole.

Napoleon Hill said: "We have a choice in life. We can choose to change the mediocre life." At the moment when you feel sad, you can send out your own greeting cards, be your own bole, and sell yourself in time.

Life is a series of sales promotion. We sell goods, plans and ourselves. Admittedly, not everyone knows how to sell themselves, but we can get it through learning. As long as we can seize the opportunity and improve ourselves in time, anything of value can be improved, and we can lift our weight lightly and remain invincible in the future society.

In fact, each of us is a swift horse, but many people are self-contemptuous. For the sake of that ugly appearance, for the sake of that poor family, for the sake of that poor performance, they are deeply inferior, treat themselves as useless, and live a hard, heavy and even humble life every day. In real life, as long as you unload the psychological burden, you will find that the sky is so blue, the water is so clear, the grass is so green, the flowers are so bright, life is so beautiful and you are so excellent.

Lin Xue is high flyers from a school of economics and management, but because of her poor looks, she couldn't pass the interview when looking for a job.

Failure after failure did not discourage Lin Xue. She no longer believed in job advertisements, so she decided to take the initiative to choose a big company to promote herself. She walked into a cosmetics company, and the manager listened to her quietly. She talked about the success of foreign cosmetics companies such as Yong Fang and Violet, and told the marketing secrets of Avon and Fei Xia in China. Kan Kan said it was logical. The manager was very excited and said kindly, "Miss, with all due respect, cosmetics advertisements are largely beautiful advertisements, and appearance is very important." Lin Xue is not ashamed. She boldly said to the manager's eyes, "a beautiful woman can say that this face is the result of using your cream, and an ugly woman can say that this face is caused by not using your cream." All roads lead to the same goal. Don't you think the latter is better? " The manager wrote a note and handed it to her: "You should report to the personnel department, first engage in sales promotion, and the probation period is two months."

Lin Xue cherishes this hard-won job very much and devotes himself enthusiastically to it. A month later, his performance was remarkable and his status gradually improved. A few years later, she achieved the position of deputy general manager of the company. When introducing her successful experience, she said: "Now it is a market economy. If a person can't even sell himself, how can others hire you to sell? " A person with excellent comprehensive quality should have the ability to sell himself. "

How much a person can achieve depends on what life path he chooses. At the moment of planning your life, you should first put the "pebbles" in the jar. Carnegie, the American steel magnate, said: "If you know the skills and methods of sales promotion, you can succeed and gain both fame and fortune." At the moment of selling yourself, work harder than others. In fact, a person's potential is like a piece of gold buried deep underground. Before it was discovered, although it did not change its true colors, it lost its value if it was not given a chance to shine. Fortunately, people are alive and spiritual. People are superior to gold, and they can actively look for opportunities instead of waiting for them passively. As long as you are good at discovering and grasping opportunities and selling yourself in time, it will be more conducive to your own value being discovered in time.

Without a beautiful appearance, you can choose a pure heart; Without a wealthy family, you can choose warm affection; Without impressive achievements, you can choose unremitting pursuit; You can't be a towering tree, you can be a tenacious grass; It can't be a gorgeous rose, but a roadside wildflower. ...

There are many people in this world who deserve your appreciation, but what you should appreciate most is yourself. As long as there is an opportunity, we should seize it at once and sell ourselves so as not to die like a swift horse.

People really need some chances to succeed. If a person can meet a talented Bole at the right time to help you and lead you to the stage where you can display your talents, your life will be different and the road to development will be suddenly enlightened. However, as the saying goes, "the wise create opportunities, the strong seize opportunities, and the weak wait for opportunities." Why can't you be smart and create opportunities for yourself?

As one of the richest businessmen in Kuwait, Kuteyiba has unparalleled wealth and lives in the upper class. However, looking at his successful history, we can easily find that this is a history of pursuing opportunities, creating opportunities and improving ourselves in a timely manner. Because of this, he has achieved success in his career.

Kuteyiba's family is not rich. His grandfather is only the owner of a sloop in the Gulf and makes a living by doing small business along the coast. As an adult, Kuteyiba inherited his ancestral business and continued to run the business left by his parents. However, when a small sailboat unfortunately sank at sea, Kuteyiba had no choice but to become an agent for kerosene sales. However, Kuteyiba is not satisfied with this. In order to develop himself, he never gave up looking for new opportunities to sell himself.

After unremitting efforts, he found a job to arrange transportation and accommodation for geologists and investigators who came to Kuwait. Because of this work, Kuteyiba participated in the mining business. At that time, in order to build Persian oil fields, oil companies needed a lot of gravel to make concrete, but the local gravel was too salty to meet the standard. The company hired some Iraqi builders to try to supply gravel from Kuwait, but it failed because of inconvenient transportation. When Kuteyiba learned about this, he realized that the opportunity had come. He didn't have enough money at that time, but Kuteyiba was not defeated by reality. He doesn't want to give up this opportunity because of this. After thinking hard, he felt that although he had no money, he could borrow it So he went to Basra and met three wealthy Jewish businessmen. Although he had good reasons, he was not a big shot and had no family background. Of course, the Jews refused to lend him money. In the face of difficulties, Kuteyiba still didn't give up. After a long effort, the Jews were persuaded by his selling his spirit and ability, and finally agreed to lend him money from the bank.

With this fund, Kuteyiba bid for the project from the oil company, and the result was very encouraging. He beat other competitors in the bid. After that, he used the money to buy barges and tugboats left by the British army after World War I and rented 200 dhows. With these equipments, he started the gravel transportation business between Kuwait and Abadan. In the early 1930s, 20,000 or 25,000 tons of gravel could be transported every month. At that time, before there was a mechanical excavation system, he hired 6000 workers to carry out manual excavation. People carried the gravel on their shoulders and carried it to the boat. He has been working hard for his dream, no matter how difficult it is, he insists on it.

By 1940, that is, on the eve of the outbreak of World War II, he had 15 barges and three tugboats. This initiative to create opportunities for Kuteyiba has a certain strength. Therefore, when gravel transportation came to an end, he began to enter another kind of business, and he became the agent of British Airways and Hudson Automobile Company. At this time, Kuteyiba already had some funds. He was good at selling himself and seizing opportunities, which enabled him to complete his original accumulation.

During World War II, the automobile business was in trouble. He immediately seized the opportunity, used his financial resources and efforts to promote himself, and rented his own dhow to engage in food import business. After World War II, Kuteyiba became an agent of General Motors. He is familiar with all aspects of the automobile industry. He goes abroad to visit major auto shows every year. After traveling around the world, he found that people are not concerned about the appearance style of the car, but the internal equipment of the car. He once again seized the opportunity to open up a new world in this industry. At that time, many businessmen in Kuwait used their money to buy stocks or smuggle gold to India and other places. They advised Kuteyiba to collect money in this way, but Kuteyiba was unmoved. He believes that he will succeed. Facts have also proved that it is this amazing self-confidence that has created new opportunities and success for him again and again.

Kuteyiba has a famous saying: "For a person who has everything, the most important thing is to think about what is the gift of his next fate." From gravel transportation from scratch to automobile sales, the two most important glories in his successful history were achieved by actively looking for opportunities, creating opportunities, selling himself and using opportunities.

It takes confidence and courage to sell yourself. Because self-confidence and talent are our greatest wealth. Psychologist Penny Rosine said: "The more you practice, as if you are confident, the more you can create an excellent atmosphere. You must feel: yes, you have the right to breathe, occupy a space and feel comfortable. " Your self-confidence and self-love are reflected in your gestures. Look at those successful people in life who don't really like themselves. A person who feels comfortable and confident will sit in a chair instead of just sitting on the edge.

Selling yourself is a gift, just like painting, both of which need to cultivate personal style. No style, just one of the sentient beings, and style is the comprehensive product of everything we have seen and felt before and now. It has its own style and charm. In the process of sales promotion, it will be unconventional, giving people a brand-new feeling and being more acceptable.

Selling yourself is an art, sometimes it needs to be simple, and sometimes it may be complicated. Su Shi is also a day: compared with the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate. Although simplicity can't replace the whole and all, it can help us get rid of complicated interference and unnecessary red tape, take ourselves seriously and treat every day of life with a quiet and peaceful attitude. The ancients said, "Only when you are extravagant can you see the truth." This is also the original intention. Although complexity sometimes loses its true self and gives people the feeling that "the mountain is on one side of the mountain, and the distance is different", it is a perfect match with today's colorful society. Simple and complicated clever use can make people sell themselves more easily.

American comedian Hope can hold the audience firmly in every performance. In fact, he is a person who is good at selling himself. He has a habit that he will never go on stage until he thoroughly studies and understands the audience he will face.

From 65438 to 0978, Hope and his party rushed to Perth, Australia, and were invited to give a two-hour opening performance for a newly-built entertainment center with 8300 seats. For these two hours, Hope and others have prepared for two or three weeks, and made a detailed study of all aspects of Australian life from the local history, climate, wildlife, industry, flavor food, leisure resorts, ethnic composition and even dialect slang.

When Hope came to power, people who didn't know thought he was a local who had lived in Perth all his life. In fact, from the moment he said the first line, the audience under the stage was controlled by him.

Yan Fu, a thinker in Qing Dynasty, said that natural selection is the way to survive. Yes, in today's knowledge economy era, the competition is very fierce. The more realistic problem is that there are not so many Bole to discover you. If you don't sell yourself, you may never be found out.

The road of life is tortuous and the competition is fierce. In ancient times, Mao Sui and Feng Xuan were both unknown people at first, which shows that he was also a "swift horse" at first, waiting for Bole's appreciation, but Bole was sometimes negligent.

As the saying goes, "Good wind depends on strength." Everything needs motivation. Didn't Mao Sui and Feng Xuan both seize the opportunity and sell themselves in time to achieve success? Therefore, today, we need to seize the opportunity to improve ourselves in time, because today's society is a talent society, and all competition is talent competition. If you don't stand up, there are still thousands of achievements of Qian Qian waiting for you to stand up. If someone holds the old idea that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", I am afraid that no one will appreciate you if the wine is sour.

Now is an era of "self-recommendation". As long as you think you are a dark horse, you should stand up early, seize the opportunity, sell yourself, and let yourself overcome obstacles and succeed.
