Examples of persistence of successful people

1. Try again-what is harder than a stone or softer than water? However, the soft water has penetrated the hard rock and persisted.

A young man went to Microsoft to apply for a job, but the company didn't advertise for a job. Seeing the general manager puzzled, the young man explained in poor English that he happened to pass by here and rushed in. The general manager feels very fresh, so make an exception and let him have a try. The result of the interview was unexpected, and the young people performed badly. His explanation to the general manager was that he was not prepared in advance. The general manager thought he was just looking for an excuse to go down the stairs, so he casually replied, "Try again when you are ready."

a week later, the young man walked into the door of Microsoft again, and this time he still failed. But compared with the first time, his performance is much better. The general manager gave him the same answer as last time: "Try again when you are ready." In this way, the young man stepped into the door of Microsoft five times, and was finally hired by the company, becoming the key training object of the company.

Tips: Perhaps, our life journey is full of swamps and thorns; Perhaps the scenery we are pursuing is always full of mountains and rivers. Perhaps, our steps forward are always heavy and stumbling; Perhaps, we need to grope for a long time in the dark to find the light; Perhaps, our pious faith will be entangled in secular dust and fog, but we can't fly freely; Perhaps, our noble soul can't find the pure land in reality for the time being ... Then, why can't we say "try again" to ourselves firmly and confidently with the courage of the brave!

Try again, and you may reach the other side of success!

2. success is not as difficult as you think-it's not because we dare not do things, but because we dare not do things.

In p>1965, a Korean student went to Cambridge University to major in psychology. During afternoon tea, he often goes to the school cafe or teahouse to listen to some successful people chatting. These successful people include Nobel Prize winners, academic authorities in some fields and some people who have created economic myths. These people are humorous and easy to lift their weight, and they all see their success as natural and logical. After a long time, he found that he was cheated by some successful people when he was in China. Those people generally exaggerate the hardships of starting a business in order to let those who are starting a business retreat, that is to say, they are scaring those who have not yet succeeded with their successful experiences.

As a student of psychology department, he thinks it is necessary to study the mentality of Korean successful people. In 197, he took "Success is not as difficult as you think" as his graduation thesis and submitted it to Will, the founder of modern economic psychology. Professor Braden. After reading it, Professor Braden was greatly surprised. He thought it was a new discovery. Although this phenomenon is common in the East and even all over the world, no one has boldly proposed it and studied it before. Surprised, he wrote to his Cambridge alumnus, park chung-hee, who was sitting at the top of Korean politics at that time. In his letter, he said, "I can't say how much this book has helped you, but I'm sure it can shake you more than any of your decrees."

Later, this book really took off with the Korean economy. This book has inspired many people, because they tell people from a new angle that success is not necessarily related to "straining their bones and starving their bodies and skins", "lighting the midnight oil at night" and "hanging the beam on their heads and stabbing their legs". As long as you are interested in a certain cause, you will succeed if you stick to it for a long time, because God has given you time and wisdom to finish a thing successfully. Later, the young man also achieved success, and he became the president of Korea Panye Automobile Company.

warm reminder: you can do many things in the world if you want to, and you can also overcome the difficulties you should overcome. You don't need any iron will, let alone any skills or strategies. As long as a person is still living a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the creator's arrangement of the world is natural.

3. Always take the ticket-life is really interesting: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best.

There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy the right ticket. But no matter how long or short the journey, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat.

In fact, his method is very simple, that is, he patiently looks for it car by car. This method doesn't sound brilliant, but it works. Every time, he is ready to walk from the first car to the last car, but every time he doesn't have to walk to the end, he will find a vacancy. He said that this is because there are not many passengers who are so persistent in finding seats. Often, there are some seats left in the carriage where he sits, but in the aisles and car joints of other carriages, it is actually crowded.

He said that most passengers are easily confused by the superficial phenomenon of one or two cars being crowded, and they don't think much about the opportunities to provide seats in the dozens of stops and the flow from more than a dozen doors of the train. Even if they thought about it, they didn't have the patience to find it. It is easy for most people to be satisfied with a small foothold in front of them, and some people feel that it is not worthwhile to carry their bags and squeeze for one or two seats. They are also worried that if they can't find a seat, they won't even have a place to stand back. Just like some people who are content with the status quo and are afraid of failure, they can only stay at the starting point where they have no success. Most of these passengers who are unwilling to take the initiative to find seats can only stand at the initial place when they get on the bus until they get off.

Tips: Self-confidence, persistence, foresight and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever.

4. Hard stones in our hearts-the only obstacles that hinder us from discovering and creating are our psychological obstacles and hard stones in our minds.

once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's vegetable garden, with a width of about 4 cm and a height of 1 cm. People who go to the vegetable garden will accidentally kick that big stone, either falling or scratching.

The son asked, "Dad, why didn't you dig up that nasty stone?"

Dad replied, "You mean that stone? Since your grandfather's time, it has been put into the present. Its volume is so large that I don't know when it will be dug. It is better to walk carefully and train your reaction ability. "

after a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation, when the son married his daughter-in-law and became a father.

One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the more I look at that big stone in the vegetable garden, the more I dislike it. I'd better ask someone to move it another day."

Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is very heavy. If it can be moved, it will be moved when I was a child. How can it be left until now? "

My daughter-in-law has a bad feeling in her heart. I don't know how many times that big stone has made her fall.

One morning, my daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.

ten minutes later, the daughter-in-law used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone.

Daughter-in-law has been psychologically prepared, and may have to dig for a day. No one expected to dig up the stone in a few minutes, and look at its size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by that huge appearance.

Tips: You can't climb the mountain with the idea of going downhill. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your own mentality.

5. Pursue selflessness-don't think of yourself as a mouse, or you will be eaten by a cat.

in p>1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter. Soon, however, the child contracted an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.

once, a girl traveled by boat with her family. The captain's wife told the child that the captain had a bird of paradise. She was fascinated by the bird's description and wanted to see it for herself. So the nanny left the child on the deck and went to the captain herself. The child couldn't bear to wait, so she asked the waiter on board to take her to see the bird of paradise at once. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, but just took her to see the beautiful bird. Miracle happened, and the child, because of excessive desire, forgot to hold the waiter's hand and walked slowly. Since then, the child's illness has recovered. When girls grow up, they devote themselves to literary creation and finally become the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, that is, Thelma; Lagrove.

Tips: Forgetting yourself is a shortcut to success. Only in this environment can people transcend their own constraints and release the greatest energy.
