Inspirational stories of successful people 1 1973 A young man named Colette from Liverpool, England, was admitted to Harvard University in the United States. He often sits with him in class. He is an American boy of 18 years old. In the second year of college, the young man and Colette discussed dropping out of school to develop 32-bit financial software together, because the problem of path conversion of carry system has been solved in the newly compiled textbook.

Colette was very surprised at that time, because he came here to study, not to play. Besides, Professor Morse only taught a little about the Bit system. It is impossible to develop Bit financial software without completing all the courses in the university. He politely refused the invitation of the young man.

10 years later, Colette became a Bit doctoral student in the computer department of Harvard University, and the young dropout also entered the list of billionaires in Forbes magazine. 1992, Colette continued to engage in postdoctoral research; That American guy's personal assets, second only to Wall Street tycoon Buffett, reached $6.5 billion this year, making him the second richest man in the United States. 1995, colette thought he had enough knowledge to develop 32-Bit financial software, but the young man bypassed the Bit system and developed Eip financial software, which was 1500 times faster than bit, and occupied the global market within two weeks. This year, he became the richest man in the world. A name representing success and wealth-Bill Gates has also spread to every corner of the world.

In this world, many people think that only with fine professional knowledge can they start a business. However, the history of world innovation shows that many successful people aim at their goals directly when they have little knowledge, and then supplement their knowledge as needed in the process of creation. Bill Gates started his business before he graduated from Harvard University. If he waits until he learns all the knowledge before running Microsoft, will he still be the richest man in the world?

On the one hand, if you wait until all the conditions are ripe, then he may have to wait forever.

Inspirational stories of successful people II. It was a quiet afternoon. The campus of a small town elementary school in Texas, USA, is filled with the smell of apple blossoms. Eight students in a class were taken to a big empty room next to the principal by the teacher. The glass windows are bright and dazzling, and the traces of birds flying over are clearly visible. Just as the students were holding back their inner curiosity and waiting for what would happen, the teacher led a strange middle-aged man into the room.

He came to the children with a kind face and gave everyone a beautifully packaged candy, telling them that this candy belongs to you and can be eaten at any time, but if anyone can insist on eating it after I come back, he will get two identical candy as a reward. Say that finish, he turned and left here with the teacher.

The wait is long, the promise is far away, but candy is really in front of every child.

Time is ticking away. This kind of candy is more and more attractive to children. The smell of apple blossoms outside the window is almost irresistible.

A child peeled off the delicate candy paper, put the candy in his mouth and made a "tut-tut" sound. Influenced by him, several children couldn't help it and peeled off the delicate candy paper one after another. But more than half of the children are still trying to control themselves until the stranger comes back. 40 minutes more than summer vacation. But the stranger finally realized his promise, and those waiting children got their due rewards.

Actually, this is a psychological experiment called "delayed gratification". Later, the stranger followed the children for 20 years. He found that students who can "delay satisfaction" scored an average of 20 points higher in math and Chinese than those who can't stand it. After taking part in the work, they never bow in the face of difficulties, and they can always get out of the predicament and move towards success.

It is not easy to resist the temptation at your fingertips and expect the promise you can get through hard work. Compared with real life, if you encounter the same problem again, it may not be difficult to make the right choice.

Inspirational Story of Successful People 3 Mike is an ordinary reporter in a tabloid in new york. One weekend, in a small hotel, he saw several outstanding entrepreneurs coming out of a room, one of which was Ford. Ford came to the waiter with a menu in his hand and said with a smile, "Young man, see if there is any mistake."

The waiter confidently replied, "No."

"You calculate it carefully again." Several entrepreneurs hosted by Ford have walked to the door, but he stood patiently in front of the counter.

Looking at Ford's serious appearance, the waiter said disapprovingly, "Yes, I overcharged you by 50 cents because there was very little change, but I don't think a rich man like you would care."

"On the contrary, I care." Ford resolutely corrected it.

The waiter had to lower his head, took a lot of effort to collect fifty cents and handed it to Ford with a calm face.

Looking at Ford's quick departure, the young waiter whispered, "It's so stingy, even fifty cents is so important."

"No, young man, you are wrong. He is definitely a generous person. " Mike, who witnessed the scene just now, could not help but stand up. "He has just donated $50 million to charity." Mike took out a newspaper two weeks ago and showed the waiter a report on it.

The waiter didn't understand why such a generous Ford cared about only 50 cents in front of so many friends.

"He knows how to take every penny that belongs to him seriously, knows how to get back his 50 cents, and generously donated 50 million dollars, which is also worthy of attention." In the seemingly casual incident of Ford, Mike suddenly realized his long-awaited successful experience, that is, there is no reason not to take everything in front of him seriously, no matter how big or small.

Later, after years of hard work, Mike became a famous newspaper in America, and the waiter became the owner of a five-star hotel in Chicago.

Inspirational stories of successful people 4 I heard a popular story in Japan. It's about two people named A Dai and Artu. They are honest fishermen, but they all dream of becoming rich. One day, A Dai had a dream. In his dream, he was told that there was a temple on the other side of the island. There are 49 Zhu Jin trees in the temple, and a Jintan is buried under a tree with red flowers. A Dai sailed happily to the other side of the island. There are temples and 49 Zhu Jin trees on the island. When autumn comes, A Dai settles down and waits for the flowers to bloom in spring. After the cold winter, the flowers in Zhu Jin are in full bloom, but they are all pale yellow. A Dai didn't find the one with the red flowers. The monk in the temple also told him that he had never seen a Zhu Jin with red flowers. A Dai drove back to the village in frustration.

Later, Artu learned about it, and he bought the dream from A Dai with a few pence. Artu also went to the island and found the temple. It's autumn again, and Artu stays and waits for the flowers to bloom. The following spring, Zhu Jin was in full bloom and the temple was brightly lit. The miracle happened at this time: Sure enough, a beautiful red flower bloomed on Zhu Jin. Artu excitedly dug up an altar of gold under the tree. Later, Artu became the richest man in the village.

It is said that this story has been circulated in Japan for nearly a thousand years. Today, we feel sorry for A Dai: he is only one winter away from the dream of the rich. He forgot to bring his dream into the second brilliant spring, and the red flowers that excited him all his life bloomed in the second spring! Artu is undoubtedly a wise man: he believes in dreams and waits for another spring!

Our life has never been full of dreams: that gorgeous Zhu Jin flower has swayed several times in our hearts, and we will take all the infinite scenery away. However, we are always used to waiting for the first spring. Faced with the emptiness of the first season, we often rashly abandon the second spring and turn our dreams into dreams.

The flower of dreams always favors those who have patience and persistent pursuit.

Today, if I give you a dream Zhu Jin flower, you should have the courage to buy a second spring from your dream!

Inspirational stories of successful people 5 Hamway is a pastry vendor in Damascus, Spain. Among the fanatical immigrants in North America, he also came to the United States with the mentality of a gold digger.

But the United States is not as arachis duranensis as he imagined, and the cakes he sold in Spain are not much different from those sold in the United States.

1In the summer of 904, Hamway knew that the World Expo was about to be held in the United States, and he moved his pastry tools to Louisiana, the exhibition site. Fortunately, the government allowed him to sell pancakes outside the venue.

His pancake business is really bad, but the ice cream business next door is very good. He sold a lot of ice cream in a short time, and soon all the small plates he took to buy ice cream were used up. China Lizhi.com

When Hamway saw this scene, he rolled the pancake into a cone and let it hold ice cream.

Seeing that this method was feasible, ice cream vendors ordered Hamway's pancakes, and a large number of cone-shaped ice cream entered the hands of merchants.

But to Hamway's surprise, this cone-shaped ice cream was favored by merchants and was rated as "the real star of the World Expo".

Since then, this cone-shaped ice cream has become popular, which is now the ice cream cone. Its invention is called "the act of genius". Some people assume that if the two stores don't depend on each other, it's hard to say whether we can eat ice cream cones today.

Among the well-known foods, the invention of French fries is also such a "stroke of genius". American Indian krum is a chef in a restaurant. One day, some French guests came. They think his fried food is too thick and hard. Krum knew that he was very angry. He grabbed a potato, sliced it and threw it into the frying pan. After the pot is served, it is sent to the table of French guests. Who knows that when a guest eats it, he shouts delicious food. From then on, this kind of potato chips became popular and finally became the first staple food of KFC and McDonald's.

Don't ignore the accident in life, maybe it is the beginning of your success.

Inspirational stories of successful people 6 What if the vase is broken? What most people do is throw away the debris!

And once you throw something away, you simply do it cleanly and don't think about the laws related to it at all.

So, are there any rules here?

Yes That is, after weighing the fragments in order of size, it can be found that 10 ~ 100g is the least, 1 ~ 10g is slightly more, and 0. 1 ~ 1g and below are the most! It is particularly interesting that there is a strict multiple relationship between the weights of these fragments, that is, the weight ratio of the largest fragment to the second largest fragment 16: 1, the weight ratio of the second largest fragment to the medium fragment 16: 1, and the weight ratio of the medium fragment to the smaller fragment16:/. Therefore, people who find this proportional relationship will use this law in archaeology or celestial research, thus inferring its original state from the fragments of known cultural relics and meteorites and quickly restoring its original appearance!

This thoughtful and wise man is Danish scientist Jacob Bohr!

However, have we done it? number

We must have had the experience of breaking bottles, but did we hug the relevant laws when they slipped away from us playfully?

Don't! Because of dullness!

From this point of view, the broken vase is not terrible. The terrible thing is: don't accidentally break our cleverness!

An Austrian doctor named Oss brug, whose father is a wine merchant. In order to find out whether there is wine in the tall barrel, his father often knocks on the outside of the barrel with his hand, and then judges how much wine is left in the barrel by sound, whether it is full or empty. His father's practice inspired him, from which he deduced that a man's chest and abdomen are just like a bucket. The doctor beat the patient's chest and abdomen and listened carefully. Can't he tell his illness by his voice? So after careful study and summary, I finally invented the famous diagnostic method-percussion.

Some people are clever and put forward the famous "barrel theory" from the barrel, that is, how much water is filled in a barrel does not depend on the tallest board on the barrel wall, but on the shortest board on the barrel wall. Only when the boards on the wall of the bucket are high enough can the bucket be filled with water. On the contrary, only one piece is not high enough, and the water in the bucket is not enough! No wonder people often shout loudly to make up the shortcomings and grasp the following links. This is the original intention.

From this point of view, philosophy is everywhere in the world, in bottles and barrels.

Inspirational stories of successful people 7. My friend Bill is a successful speaker and writer. He likes to watch birds in his spare time. A few years ago, Bill bought a new house with lush vegetation nearby. On the first weekend after he checked in, he installed a bird feeder in the backyard. That evening, a group of squirrels knocked down the bird feeder and ate the food inside, scaring the birds away. In the next two weeks, Bill racked his brains to find ways to keep squirrels away from the bird feeder, except by violence. But it didn't work at all.

In desperation, he came to a local hardware store. There, he found a unique bird feeder with barbed wire and an attractive name called "squirrel-proof bird feeder". This time it's foolproof. He bought it and installed it in the backyard. But before dark, the squirrel swaggered into the "squirrel-proof bird feeder" and scared the birds away. China Lizhi.com

This time, Bill removed the bird feeder and went back to the hardware store, demanding a refund in a rage. The manager of the hardware store replied, "Don't worry, I'll give you a refund, but you have to understand: there is no real squirrel-proof bird feeder in this world." Bill asked in surprise, "You want to tell me that we can send people to a space base and send information to any place in the world in a few seconds, but our most advanced scientists and engineers can't design and manufacture a really effective bird feeder, which can shut out rodents with brains as big as peas? Is that what you want to tell me? "

"Yes," said the manager, "Sir, in order to explain clearly, I have to ask you two questions. First of all, how long do you spend on average every day keeping squirrels away from your bird feeder? " Bill thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know, about a day 10 to 15 minutes."

"I think so," said the manager. "Now, please answer my second question:" How long do you think those squirrels spend trying to break into your bird feeder every day? "

Bill immediately understood: whenever the squirrel is awake.

It turns out that squirrels spend 98% of their time looking for food when they are not sleeping. In the face of single-mindedness, smart brains and superior physique are losing ground!

To do better, you don't necessarily need to update more powerful computers. What it needs is to focus on the goal, devote all the time and give full play to all its talents. If you are more focused than your opponents, you can leave them behind.

Inspirational stories of successful people (8) Legend has it that two people happened to meet a fairy. The fairy taught them how to make wine, and told them to choose rice that was ripe and full on the day of Duanyang, blended it with water drops from alpine waterfalls and flowing springs when the ice and snow first melted, poured it into a clay pot made of Millennium purple sand, and then wrapped it tightly with the first lotus flower bathed in the morning light, and sealed it for 749 days until the cock crowed three times in the early morning.

They, like every legendary hero, remember the secret recipe of the immortals, go through all kinds of hardships, trudge through Qian Shan, live in the wind and sleep, find all the necessary materials, reconcile and seal their dreams and expectations together, and then concentrate on waiting for that exciting and doomed moment.

Time goes by day, what a long guardian. On the forty-ninth day, the wine that was about to open the urn kept them awake all night. They pricked up their ears all night to hear chickens crow. Finally, the first long and tall crow came in the distance. After a long time, there was a second sound, slow and deep. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He gave up his patience and couldn't wait to open the pottery urn. As a result, he was shocked-

There is a pool of water in it, which is turbid, yellow, sour as vinegar, bitter as gall, and has an unpleasant smell ... how did this happen? He regrets, but everything is irreversible, even if he stomps, regrets and sighs. Finally, he just spilled water on the ground in disappointment.

And another person, although the desire in his heart burned like wildfire, barbecue made him want to reach out to lift the lid of the urn several times, but he just wanted to reach out, but he gritted his teeth and held on tight until the third cock crow resounded through the sky and a red sun Ran Ran rose in the east-ah, what a clear, sweet and refreshing dew!

Yes, the only difference between many winners and losers is often not more labor and tireless blood and sweat, nor how smart and resourceful they are, but only their resilience and patience, and their persistence in that moment-sometimes a year, sometimes a day, sometimes it's just a crow.

Inspirational stories of successful people 9 There is a long-distance running coach in Canada who is famous for training several long-distance running champions in a short time. However, no one thought that the secret of his success was that he had a magical sparring partner, and this sparring partner was not a man, but a fierce wolf!

He said that's how he decided to use wolves as sparring partners. Because his training program is long-distance running, he has been asking the team members to come from home, without any means of transportation, and he must run all the way by himself. One of his players comes last every day, and his home is not the farthest. He even told him to change his career and do something else, and not to waste time here. However, suddenly one day, his team arrived 20 minutes earlier than others. He knows when he left home. He calculated and was surprised to find that the speed of this player can almost exceed today's world record. When he met this player, he was panting to describe his experience today to his teammates. It turned out that shortly after he left home, he met a wild wolf when he passed through a five-kilometer field. The wolf chased after him desperately. He ran desperately in front and left the wolf behind. China Lizhi.com

The coach understands that this player's extraordinary achievement today is because he has a terrible enemy, and this enemy has enabled him to play all his potential. From then on, he hired an animal trainer, found some wolves, and let them go during training. Before long, his players' performance improved greatly.

Japan's swimming has always been in the leading position. Some people say that their training methods also have magical secrets. A person who has been to a swimming training hall in Japan was surprised to find that the Japanese kept many crocodiles in the swimming pool. Later, he found out the secret. During training, the coach will put some crocodiles in the swimming pool after the players jump into the water. Crocodiles that haven't eaten for days, when they see people alive, get angry immediately and try their best to catch up with the athletes. Although the athlete knew that the crocodile's big mouth had been tightly entangled, he saw the crocodile's face and swam forward like a conditioned reflex.

No matter Canadian or Japanese, there is no doubt that they have mastered the truth: the strength of the enemy will enable a person to exert his great potential and create amazing achievements, especially when the enemy is big enough to threaten your life. The enemy is behind you. If you don't work hard for a while, your life will be in danger for a while.

In our daily life, many of us make such a fatal mistake: we are always cursing our enemies, or we are always glad that we have not met a terrible enemy, or we have been driven out of our minds because we have met an enemy. This is not right. We should be glad that we have an enemy or a powerful enemy and have encountered a difficult situation, because this is your chance to stand out!

Thank your enemies and opponents, because they make you great and outstanding.

Inspirational stories of successful people 10 If you ask racers how they spent those critical moments without hitting anything, you will get the answer, "It depends on where you want to go, not where you don't want to go". If you look at the wall, you are likely to bump into it.

Focus on what you want in life, not what you don't want. People tend to spend most of their time and energy thinking about things they want to get rid of-I want to lose ten pounds, or things I don't want-and I wish I didn't have these bills. Try to focus on what you want to do.

I recently talked to a friend about this and learned that skydivers can "connect" by looking directly into the eyes of the objects they want to connect in mid-air. Their bodies automatically draw closer to each other.

I was thinking about it when my cat came into my office. He likes to sit on the windowsill behind my desk, imagining that he can catch a bird there. I noticed that it began to climb on the windowsill-first, it sat down and looked at my desktop intently, as if all its attention was there; Then it suddenly jumped on the desk 20 times taller than itself, which was simple and effortless. I understand that the same is true of the principle of action, and we should move towards the goal with confidence.

Joseph murray said, "Wherever we see, we go."

Whether your goal is to get where you want in life or just jump on the table, this exercise is very useful. Another factor that cannot be ignored is self-confidence. My cat is confident that he won't fall black and blue, so we should.
