But in today's society, if you wait for Bole to come to you, you are wrong. Because "Thousands of brilliant horses are always there, but Bole is not always there." You must be your own talent and promote yourself appropriately, only then can you possibly find your talent.

She walked into a cosmetics company, and the manager listened quietly to her "sell". She talked about the success of foreign cosmetics companies such as "Yongfang" and "Violet" to the sales skills of domestic "Avon" and "Xiafei" , the talk is logical and logical. The manager was very excited and said kindly: "Miss, with all due respect, cosmetics advertisements are to a large extent advertisements for beauty, and appearance is very important." Lin Xue was not ashamed. She faced the manager's gaze and spoke boldly: " A beautiful woman can say that her face is the result of using your facial cream, while an ugly girl can say that her face is the result of not using your facial cream. They reach the same goal in different ways. Don’t you think the latter is smarter?" the manager wrote a note. He handed it to her: "You go to the Human Resources Department to register and do sales first. The probation period is two months."

Lin Xue cherishes this hard-won job very much and devotes herself to the work with enthusiasm. After a month, the performance was remarkable and the position was gradually promoted.

There are many people worthy of your appreciation in this world, but the one you should appreciate most is yourself. As long as there is an opportunity, you must seize it immediately and promote yourself so that you will not die in a stable like a thousand-mile horse.

It is true that human success requires some opportunities.

If a person can meet a discerning Bole who can help you at the right time and lead you to a stage where you can display your talents, your life will be different from now on, and the road to development will suddenly become clear. However, as the saying goes: "The wise create opportunities, the strong seize opportunities, and the weak wait for opportunities." Why can't you be a wise man and create opportunities for yourself?

As one of the richest businessmen in Kuwait, Kuteyba has unparalleled wealth and lives in the upper class. But looking at his successful history, it is not difficult to find that it is a history of pursuing opportunities, creating opportunities, and promoting himself at the right time. Because of this, he achieved career success.

Kuteiba's family is not rich. His grandfather is just a dhow owner in the Gulf, making a living by doing small business along the coast. After becoming an adult, Kuteyba inherited his ancestral business and continued to run the business left by his father. However, his sailboat sank during a voyage. In desperation, Kuteyba changed his career to a kerosene sales agent, but Kuteyba Ba was not satisfied with this. Being a strong-willed man, he never gave up looking for new opportunities to promote himself in order to develop and strengthen himself.

After unremitting efforts, he got a job arranging transportation and accommodation for geologists and investigators who came to work in Kuwait. Because of this work, Kuteyba became involved in the mining business. At that time, the oil company needed a large amount of gravel to make concrete to build the Persian oil field, but the local gravel contained too much salt and did not meet the standards. The company hired some Iraqi builders in an attempt to supply gravel from Kuwait, but this failed due to difficulties in transporting it. When Kuteyba learned about this, he realized that an opportunity had come. He did not have enough money at that time, but Kuteyba was not defeated by reality. He was unwilling to give up this opportunity. After thinking hard, he felt that although he had no money, he could borrow it. So he ran to Basra and met with three wealthy Jewish businessmen. Although his reasons were good, he was not a big shot at the time and had no family background. Of course, the Jews refused to lend him money. Faced with the difficulties, Kuteyba still did not give up. After a long period of hard work, the Jews were convinced by his spirit and ability to sell themselves and finally agreed to lend him money from the bank.

With this funding, Kuteyba submitted a bid to the oil company for the project, and the results were exciting: he defeated other competitors in the bid. Afterwards, he used the money to buy barges and tugboats, some of which were left over from the British army after World War I, and also rented 200 dhows. With this equipment, he began to work in Operations transporting gravel between Kuwait and Abadan. In the early 1930s, 20,000 or 25,000 tons of gravel could be transported per month. At that time, there was no mechanical excavation system, so he hired 6,000 workers to dig manually, carrying the gravel on their shoulders and loading it onto the ship. He has been working hard for his dream, no matter how difficult it is, he persists.

By 1940, just before the outbreak of World War II, he already owned 15 barges and three tugs. This opportunity that he proactively created gave Kuteyba a certain degree of strength, so when the gravel transportation was coming to an end, he began to move into another type of business. He became British Airways and Hudson Car agent. At this time, Kuteyba already had some funds, and he was good at promoting himself and seizing opportunities, which enabled him to complete his original accumulation.

During World War II, when the car business was in trouble, he immediately seized the opportunity, used his financial resources and his marketing skills to rent out his sloop and engage in the food import business. After World War II, Kuteyba became an agent for General Motors. He knows every aspect of the automotive business. Every year, he would go abroad to visit major automobile exhibitions. After he traveled around the world, he found that what people cared about was not the appearance of the car, but the internal equipment of the car. He once again seized the opportunity to start a business in this area. Work hard to open up a new world of your own. At that time, many businessmen in Kuwait used their money to buy stocks or smuggled gold to India and other places. They persuaded Quteyba to use this method to accumulate money, but Quteyba was unmoved. He was very confident. I think it will definitely succeed. Facts have also proved that it is this amazing self-confidence that has created new opportunities and success for him time and time again.

Kutyba has a famous saying: “For a man who has everything, the most important thing is to think about what the next gift of fate will be.

"From starting from scratch in gravel transportation to engaging in car sales, the two most important glories in his history of success were achieved by him actively looking for opportunities, creating opportunities, promoting himself, and taking advantage of opportunities.

Promote yourself , requires confidence and courage. Because confidence and talent are our greatest assets, psychiatrist Penny Rosinav said: "The more you practice, the more confident you will be, the more you can create an atmosphere where you are good. , you have to feel: yes, you have the right to breathe, to occupy a space, to feel that you are at home. "Your self-confidence and self-love are reflected in every gesture. Look at the successful people in life and see which one doesn't really like themselves. A person who feels comfortable and confident will sit on the chair instead of Just sitting on the edge.

Promoting yourself is a talent, just like painting. Both require cultivating a personal style. Without style, it is just one of many, but style is. All the comprehensive products we have seen and felt now have their own style and will have their own charm in the promotion process, giving people a new feeling and being more acceptable.

Promoting oneself is an art. Sometimes it needs to be simple, and sometimes it may be complicated. Su Shi also said: If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to use light makeup and heavy makeup. Although simplicity cannot replace the whole, it can make us more beautiful. Abandon complicated distractions, eliminate unnecessary red tape, treat yourself seriously with a peaceful and peaceful attitude, and treat every day of your life. The ancients said, "Trueness is seen when luxury is gone", which also means this. Although sometimes the true self is lost, giving people the feeling of "looking like a ridge on the side and a peak on the side, with different heights from far and near", but it is a perfect match for today's colorful society, and the clever use of simplicity and complexity can make people feel better. It is easier to promote oneself.

American comedian Hope can firmly capture the audience every time he performs. In fact, he is a person who is good at promoting himself. He has a habit of talking to the audience he will face. No one will go on stage without thorough research and understanding.

In 1978, Hope and his party rushed to Perth, Australia, and were invited to conduct a live performance for a newly built local entertainment center with 8,300 seats. For these two hours, Hope and others prepared for two or three weeks and conducted meticulous research on all aspects of Australian life, including local history, climate, wildlife, and industry. , delicious food, leisure resorts, ethnic composition and even dialects and slang were all learned one by one.

When Hope came on stage, people who didn’t know thought he was a local who had lived in Pest all his life. In fact, from the moment he spoke his first line, the audience was under his complete control.

The Qing Dynasty thinker Yan Fu said: natural selection, survival of the fittest. Yes, in today's era of knowledge economy, competition is very fierce. The more realistic problem is that there are not so many "jobbers" to discover you. If you don't promote yourself, you may never be discovered.

< p>The road of life is tortuous and the competition is fierce. In ancient times, Mao Sui and Feng Chen were both unknown people at the beginning. This shows that he also believed in himself as a "horse with a thousand li horse" at the beginning, and waited for Bole. However, there are times when Bole is negligent.

As the saying goes: "Good wind depends on force." "Everything needs to take advantage of the situation. Didn't Mao Sui and Feng Chen both seize the situation and promote themselves at the right time to achieve success? Therefore, today we need to seize the opportunity and promote ourselves at the right time, because today's society is full of talents. In today's society, all competitions are competitions for talents. If you don't stand up, there will be thousands of losers waiting to stand up. If some people still hold on to the old concept of "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", they will only be afraid of wine. No one will appreciate you even if you are sour.

Today is an era where "self-recommendation" is required. As long as you think you are a dark horse, you should stand up early, seize the opportunity, and promote yourself. , let yourself overcome every obstacle and move towards success.
