Successful cases of changing direction

In life, sometimes it is inevitable to lose your direction. When you can't find a breakthrough in one direction, you might as well change the direction and maybe you will succeed. I have carefully collected and sorted out successful cases of changing direction for everyone. Let's have a look.

Success stories in the other direction 1

On the evening of summer, a beautiful young woman jumped into the river and was rescued by a white-bearded ferryman rowing in the river.

The ferryman asked, "You are so young, why did you commit suicide?"

"I have only been married for two years, and my husband abandoned me. Then the child died of illness. Tell me, what's the fun of living? "

The ferryman listened, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How did you live two years ago?"

"I was free and carefree at that time!"

"Did you have a husband and children at that time?"

"No."

"So, you were just sent back to two years ago by the ship of fate. You are free again. Please go ashore. "

If the young woman thinks about the ferryman, she will understand something. Since then, she has never committed suicide.

Philosophy of life: many times, people's pain is not because of the problem itself, but because of their views on the problem. If we can always look at the problem from another angle, we will not be depressed because of setbacks in shopping malls and love; I will not be carried away by fame and praise. Looking at the world from another angle, the world is infinitely broad; It's not safe to treat people from another standpoint.

Change the direction of success story 2: run in a different direction

She is black, her father is a church pastor and her mother is a music teacher. Her father often takes her to church to listen to all kinds of music and poems, and she has shown great musical talent since she was a child. Her mother has taught her to play the piano since she was two years old, and she held her own solo concert when she was four years old.

At that time, her home in Alabama was the most racist place in the United States. Black people are regarded as inferior races. Black people can only sit in the back seat of the bus. Blacks and whites are not allowed to study in the same school, swim in the same swimming pool or even use the same toilet. She vowed to get ahead in the future and become a world-class pianist. She gave a concert at Carnegie Hall in new york, and told the world with her own achievements that blacks were never inferior!

Mother told her a cruel rule: only when you do twice as much as white children can you be equal to them; Three times as tall, you can surpass each other. She kept in mind her mother's teachings, studied hard, skipped two grades in a row, finished junior high school ahead of schedule, and never left her beloved piano for a moment.

At the age of 26, she got her wish and entered the prestigious Music School of the University of Denver, where she studied piano performance and made steady progress towards the established goal. But no one expected that something happened later, which completely changed her life track.

In the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she was lucky enough to attend the famous Aspen Music Festival. There, she was shocked to see several musicians. In her eyes, several songs are difficult, and several teenagers can play them freely, but she has studied hard for several years and can't reach their level.

She suddenly realized that there was a world behind her, and her musical talent was far inferior to these children. If she sticks to the direction of music, she will never succeed. Since music is not suitable for you and can't be world-class, it's better to give up early and find another way. This is an extremely risky idea. When she asked her parents for advice, they thought she was hot-headed and resolutely opposed it. But she did not hesitate to give up the musical dream that she had been fighting for for for nearly 20 years. She calmed down, began to adjust her direction, felt that she was more suitable for studying politics, and then transferred to the School of International Relations of the University of Denver. This timely change turned a new page for her life.

At the age of 26, she received a doctorate in political science with honors and became the only black assistant professor at Stanford University. Because of her unique and outstanding political opinions, she gradually became famous in American politics, and was later invited to the White House, from which she began a brilliant political career. At the end of 2000, she became the first black female secretary of state in the United States. The most powerful woman in Washington.

Her name is condoleezza rice. It is not difficult to imagine that if you don't change your running direction in time, there will be no Rice who plays an important role in politics, but just a second-rate pianist who is dispensable. Running in the other direction, in a sense, is to achieve success faster in another way.

Success stories in different directions 3

A Jew walked into a bank in new york, came to the loan department and sat down grandly.

"What can I do for you, sir?" The manager of the loan department looked at people's clothes and asked: luxury suits, high-grade leather shoes, expensive watches, and tie clips inlaid with gems.

"I want to borrow some money."

"Ok, how much do you want to borrow?"

"1 USD."

"Only $65438 +0?"

"Yes, only borrow 1 dollar. Is that okay? "

"Of course, as long as there is security, it doesn't hurt to have more."

"Well, are these guarantees ok?"

Jews said, take out a bunch of stocks, national debt, etc. Take it out of the luxurious leather bag and put it on the manager's desk.

"A total of * * * 500,000 yuan, is it enough?"

"Of course, of course! However, do you really only need to borrow $65,438 +0? "

"yes." As he spoke, the Jews received 1 dollar.

"The annual interest rate is 6%. As long as you pay 6% interest and return it one year later, we can return these shares to you. "

"Thank you."

When the Jews had finished speaking, they were ready to leave the bank.

The branch manager who has been watching coldly can't figure out how a person with $500,000 can borrow from the bank to 1 dollar. Jesus ran after him in a panic and said to the Jews, "Ah, this gentleman &; hellip& amphellip”

What can I do for you? "I really don't know, you have $500,000, why only borrow 1 dollar? If you want to borrow $300,000 or $400,000, we will be happy to do so&; hellip& amphellip”

"Please don't worry about me. It's just that I asked several banks before I came to your bank, and their safe deposit boxes were expensive. So, I want to deposit these stocks in your bank. The rent is as cheap as 6 cents a year. "

Philosophy of life:

According to common sense, valuables should be kept in the safe of the vault. For many people, this is the only choice. However, Jewish businessmen were not trapped by common sense, but found a new way to lock securities in the bank safe. From the perspective of reliability and insurance, there is really not much difference between the two, except for the different fees. Being able to use this "loophole" to change the way of thinking is the "shrewdness" of the Jewish way of thinking. Being good at changing ideas and thinking about problems will often bring more opportunities for success.
