Why doesn't success give up halfway?

Moving towards success is like going to a distant holy land. The road is rugged and long, but we must never give up halfway. Maybe we have all had this experience: you were waiting for someone and left impatiently. You go first, he comes second. Afterwards, you regret not waiting a little longer. Similarly, the pursuit of success, but give up halfway, maybe success is just a few steps away.

Since ancient times, those successful leaders have not been successful at the beginning. Most of them have come out of the shadow of failure, and finally gained rich and sweet fruits by their persistent and "good at have it both ways" efforts. Zhang Liren, known as the "giant of ocean engineering", is a model in this respect.

Zhang Liren was born in South Africa on 1944 and immigrated to Singapore with his retired teacher father on 1949. After finishing high school in Singapore, he went to England to study mechanical and electrical engineering. 1965 and returned to Singapore to join a company as a salesman. In order to familiarize himself with all aspects of the situation and accumulate experience in the "extremely attractive and ever-changing" industrial and commercial circles, he has worked in five companies, including shipping and petroleum, and changed companies almost every year on average.

Having a good start and seeing the right path does not mean that you can enjoy success without hard work. At the beginning of the company, he undertook a large-scale salvage project.

But just then, a competitor poached the managers and employees he hired. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhang Liren. However, Zhang Liren has an indomitable spirit. He said, "I never thought about washing my hands." "I just hold my horses, and I can finish my work without them." After this blow, he learned a severe lesson about employee loyalty in business.

Relying on this tenacious spirit, Zhang Liren's career gradually took shape. In addition to Pumit's original business, he also opened a shipyard in the port area of Long Ge Industrial City. However, the good times did not last long, and Zhang Liren was once again hit by a new blow: 1974, a worldwide oil crisis broke out, the oil transportation and processing industries plummeted, and the production of Pumit Company was also depressed. He anxiously went to the Middle East to solicit business, but with little success. In a year, he only sold two small tugboats and one barge, and the profit was meager. In the face of difficulties, Zhang Liren still told himself to "just hold your horses" and never thought about washing up.

Finally, God has eyes! Fate always favors those who are indomitable.

Two years later, the Middle East oil market flourished again, and the ports in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain Islands were overwhelmed. It took three months for the cargo ship to dock for loading and unloading, and the loss was huge. In the bid to build a new wharf, Zhang Liren easily beat all its competitors with its new technology, high efficiency and low cost. Other companies generally need $30 million a year to build a wharf, while Zhang Liren adopts the way of building a steel wharf in Singapore in advance and then dragging it to the Middle East, which not only shortens the construction period, but also saves the project expenditure, and the cost is less than $6,543,800+0.5 million. As a result, both projects were completed ahead of schedule and passed the acceptance. Therefore, Pumit Company in Zhang Liren gained a great reputation, and commercial contracts poured in, successively completing dredging and construction projects in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai.

1977, the turnover of Pumit Company reached S $70 million. 1979, Pumit built the Alora Beach Hotel with 108 rooms for Sarawak, Malaysia in just five months. In this regard, the Malaysian government appreciates it very much, and requests Zhang Liren to expand the Sabah Airport in the capital Kuala Lumpur. This time, Zhang Liren completed the project with high quality nearly half the time ahead of schedule. Once again, I strengthened my reputation for my company.

Of course, Zhang Liren's success depends not only on an indomitable spirit, but also on have it both ways's determination to develop his own strategy. 1973, in order to raise development funds, Zhang Liren resolutely sold 40% of the shares of Pumeite Company to Jardine Matheson Group, which had dominated Hong Kong for many years and had certain influence on the international market distribution, and later increased it to 80%. 1979, seeing the development of oil exploration industry in Southeast Asia, he decisively recovered the shares sold to Jardine Matheson, and sold 26% of the shares to Starr Company in Sidro, a world-renowned construction machinery industry, which enabled Pumit Company to acquire advanced industrial technology. The following year, he repurchased his equity and turned to cooperate with Baker Ocean Engineering Company of the United States, which has advanced technology for building oil well rigs. In the early 1980s alone, they jointly built nine offshore oil rigs.

Zhang Liren's successful experience tells people that if they are brave enough to face failure and are good at solving contradictions, they will be invincible.

It's sad to fall in the same place.

Xiao Peng failed in the college entrance examination in Sun Shan again. But he still said disapprovingly, "Nothing, failure is the mother of success!" " ! Success comes from failure! "Yes, people's life is bumpy and full of thorns, and it is inevitable to fall when they walk past. Some people say, "Fall a thousand times and get up a thousand times. "Courage is precious and commendable. But not every failure means the next success. When summing up his teaching experience, a scholar wrote a passage like this: "Failure is the mother of success, which is true, but the second and third failures from the same model cannot be said to be not a kind of sorrow. "

Like Xiao Peng, every failure is due to the same reason, but I can't overcome it. Can I succeed next time?

Let's see what great men have done in this regard. The revolutionary road led by President Mao Zedong was tortuous and experienced severe tests, but it finally won. The reason is that President Mao Zedong and the revolutionary team he led never bowed their heads in the face of failure, carefully analyzed the reasons, summed up the lessons, and never fell in the same place.

Imagine, if you don't carefully analyze the reasons and sum up the lessons after the failure, how can you not make similar mistakes? How can we succeed?

The road of life is bumpy and full of thorns. We are not afraid of falling, but for the same reason. We are not afraid of falling or any difficulties. Only by earnestly learning lessons and going forward bravely can we reach the other side of success.

Moving towards success is like going to a distant holy land. The road is rugged and long, but we must never give up halfway. Maybe we have all had this experience: you were waiting for someone and left impatiently. You go first, he comes second. Afterwards, you regret not waiting a little longer. Similarly, the pursuit of success, but give up halfway, maybe success is just a few steps away.

To succeed, opportunities are also important, although they are largely random. But no one is destined to be "full of sky", and no one is destined to be "unlucky forever". As long as you are down-to-earth and persistent in pursuit, you can still change this random probability. You know, perseverance can carve a stone.

If a person wants to succeed, besides relying on his own knowledge, ability and opportunity, he must also have an excellent character, that is perseverance.

We have been educated and infected by celebrities since childhood. Beethoven, who insisted on music creation after hearing loss in both ears and achieved great success; Edison was poor when he was young, but he could persist in scientific research; At the critical moment when the China Revolution was madly suppressed by the old forces, he bravely shouldered the heavy burden, led the people of China to persist in the revolution, and finally created Mao Zedong, the people's leader of the new China-these great men left a deep impression on me. They let me know that success is hard-won, and success requires a tough character. Since then, tenacity has become my pursuit of character.

In life, failure is inevitable. The key is to see if you can grasp yourself and let your psychological endurance gradually increase. In the face of all kinds of failures in study and disappointments in life, we can suffer, but we can't lose confidence.
