How to find opportunities from details?

Many people try their best to pursue opportunities, but they can't get the favor of the goddess of luck after all. For such people, the best way is to let them find opportunities from the details in another way.

Although opportunities abound, there are many people who pursue opportunities. In the industries that people are familiar with, the ratio between opportunities and people who pursue opportunities is seriously out of balance. Unfortunately, although many people are aware of this, they are still desperate to get into it. As a result, they not only fail to get the favor of fate, but waste their great youth.

In fact, there are opportunities in every place. Those who are good at seizing opportunities know how to go to places with few people. If you are alone in a certain place, doesn't that mean that all opportunities here belong to you alone?

learn to find a new way and manage from the details of life, which will make your life bright and bright.

Chazhu from America used to be a station attendant in a small railway station in the countryside. Because the station is remote, shopping is difficult, and the price is high, people nearby often write to ask their relatives and friends in other places to buy things on their behalf, which is very troublesome. Cha Zhu noticed this detail: if you can open a shop nearby, it will definitely be an opportunity to make a fortune. However, he has neither capital nor a house. What should he do? He decided to try a brand-new mail order method that no one had ever tried, that is, first send the catalogue to the customer, and then send the goods according to the customer's requirements. He hired two employees and set up "Chazhu Communication Sales Company". Since then, people have followed suit and swept the world from the United States. Chazhu also became the founder of "no shop selling". Of course, the reward for being a founder is that after five years, ChaZhu Cheng became a millionaire.

If you think this example is too far away from you, after all, we are not Chazhu, and we can't notice people buying things on their behalf at the train station, but the following example is so close to our lives that it can more fully prove the truth of the opportunities in the details.

In p>1973, Greenwood, who was only 15 years old, received a pair of skates as a Christmas present from others. He was very happy because he had been longing for the opportunity to skate. This wish has finally come true.

After getting this gift, Greenwood immediately ran out of the house and went skating on the frozen river near home. It may be that when he first came out skating, he felt that the weather was too cold. When skating, his ears hurt like a knife. He put on a fur hat and covered his head and cheeks tightly, resulting in a long time, stuffy and hot, and sweating.

Greenwood thought that something should be made to cover your ears. He finally figured out a rough idea and asked his mother to do what he wanted when he got home. Mother fiddled with it for a long time and sewed him a pair of cotton earmuffs.

When Greenwood put on cotton earmuffs and went skating, it really kept him warm. Some friends saw it and asked him for it. After consulting with his mother, Greenwood invited his grandmother to make earmuffs together. After several modifications, the earmuffs are more applicable and beautiful. Greenwood called it an "outlaw earmuff" and applied for a patent in the US Patent Office.

you may ask, how much is a pair of earmuffs worth? What is the use of applying for a patent? If you think so, it's a pity that you can't catch and see similar opportunities all your life.

To tell you, Greenwood later became the president of the world earmuffs factory. Because of this patent, he became a multimillionaire.

you will understand something! This common thing in life, if you look at it from another angle, you will often find many opportunities hidden in it.

Opportunity exists so widely, and it is so fair and objective. When you lose the opportunity, you can't blame anyone but yourself. It was always there, and you didn't notice it. Others found out, that's because the brain turns fast. Opportunities don't throw themselves at each other.

many years ago, there was a boom in oil exploitation in the United States. An ambitious young man also came to the oil production area. But at the beginning, he only found a simple and boring job, and he felt very unbalanced: I am so creative, how can I only be proud of such a job? So I went to the supervisor to ask for a change of job.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, the supervisor only replied coldly: "You should either be good at it or find another way out."

at that moment, his face turned red, and he really wanted to quit immediately, but considering that he couldn't find a better job for a while, he had to submit to humiliation and return to his original job.

after he came back, he suddenly had a feeling: am I not creative? So why not start from this ordinary post?

So, he made a detailed study of his job, and found that one of the procedures required 39 drops of oil each time, but actually only 38 drops were enough.

after repeated experiments, he invented a machine that can be used with only 38 drops of oil, and recommended this invention to the company. Don't underestimate this L drop of oil, it has saved the company thousands of costs.

do you know who this young man is? He is Rockefeller, the most famous oil king in America. The above story illustrates a truth: in any unit or organization, people who can actively use their wisdom to work and are good at finding problems from details are the easiest to stand out.

One year, Matsushita wanted to recruit a senior female employee, and there were a lot of applicants. After some fierce competition, three people, Yamagata Jizi, Hara Yajiko and Miyazaki Keiko, stood out and became candidates in the final stage. Three people are high flyers from famous universities, and they are beautiful women with their own strong points. The conditions are similar and the competition has become fierce. They are all preparing carefully, striving to make themselves the winners who have the last laugh.

at 8 o'clock this morning, three people came to the personnel department of the company on time. The personnel minister gave each of them a white uniform and an exquisite black briefcase, saying, "Ladies, please put on your company uniforms and bring your briefcases to the general manager's office for an interview. This is your last round of exams, and the results of the exams will directly determine whether you will stay or not. " Three beautiful women took off their well-matched coats and put on their white uniforms. The personnel minister added: "I want to remind you that, first, the general manager is a gentleman who pays great attention to appearance, and there is a small black stain on the uniforms you wear." There is no doubt that when you appear in front of the general manager, you must be a well-dressed person. How to deal with that little stain is your exam question. Secondly, the time for the general manager to meet you is 8: 15, that is to say, after 1 minutes, you must arrive at the general manager's office on time, and the general manager will not hire an unpunctual employee. Ok, the exam has begun. "

three people took action at once.

Hideki Yamanaka repeatedly wiped the stain with her hand, which made it bigger and bigger, and the white uniform was finally made terrible. Hidoko Yamagata became nervous and blushed and begged the HR Minister if she could change another uniform. Unexpectedly, the HR Minister said apologetically, "Absolutely not, and I don't think it is necessary for you to go to the general manager's office for an interview." Yamagata Hidoko suddenly froze. When she knew that she had been disqualified from the competition, she left the personnel department in tears.

At the same time, Masako Hara has rushed to the bathroom. She turned on the tap, lifted the tap water and began to clean the stain. Soon, the stain disappeared, but the trouble came. The front of the uniform was soaked and stuck to the body. So, the original sub-kiko quickly moved to the front of the dryer, opened the dryer, and baked at the soaked place. After baking for a while, she suddenly remembered the appointed time, raised her wrist and looked at her watch: it's broken, and it's almost the appointed time. Therefore, the original sub-kiko did not completely dry the clothes and ran to the general manager's office.

when I arrived at the door of the general manager's office, the former son looked at his watch. It was 8: 15, and he was not late. What makes her feel more fortunate is that the wet place on the white uniform is no longer so obvious. If it is not carefully distinguished, it is impossible to see that it has been washed. Besides, how can the general manager of a big company stare at a girl's clothes? Unless he is a goat.

Maehara Akiko was about to knock on the door to enter the room, but the door opened and Keiko Miyazaki strode out. The original yukiko saw that the stain was still lying there on Keiko Miyazaki's white uniform. Yuan Yazi's heart was at ease. She confidently walked into the office and said, "Hello, general manager." The general manager sat behind the big desk, smiling at the wet part of the original Asian uniform, as if to "distinguish" something. Yukiko Hara is a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, the general manager said, "Miss Akiko, if I am not mistaken, there is a place on your white uniform that is wet by water." The original son nodded, "Is it caused by cleaning that stain?" The general manager asked. The original kiko looked at the general manager doubtfully and nodded his head. The general manager saw the doubts of the original son, and smiled and said, "I put the stain on it, and it's also my exam question." In this round of exams, Keiko Miyazaki is the winner, that is to say, the company finally decided to hire Keiko Miyazaki. "

The original son was startled: "Mr. General Manager, this is unfair. As far as I know, you are a gentleman who cannot be tainted. But I saw that the stain was still clearly visible on Keiko Miyazaki's white uniform. "

"The crux of the matter is that Miss Keiko Miyazaki didn't let me find the stain on her uniform. Since she walked into my office, the black briefcase has been gracefully across her front, and she didn't let me see the stain. " The general manager said.

hara said, "Mr. general manager, I still don't understand why you chose Keiko Miyazaki and eliminated me. I arrived at your office on time and cleared the stain on my uniform, but Keiko Miyazaki was just clever enough to cover the stain with her purse. It should be said that I tied with Keiko Miyazaki. "

"No." The general manager said decisively, "The winner is determined to be Keiko Miyazaki, because she is clear in thinking, good at prioritizing and making good use of the existing conditions, and she solves the problem calmly and beautifully. And you, although you solved the problem, you did it in a hurry, and you didn't make full use of your existing conditions. In fact, that briefcase is our lever to solve the problem, but you throw it aside. If I didn't guess wrong, did you leave your' lever' in the bathroom? "

the original son finally convinced and nodded. The general manager smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, Miss Keiko Miyazaki will be in the bathroom now, cleaning the stain on her front."

in this way, Keiko Miyazaki succeeded because of a tiny detail. But in this small detail, her superhuman wisdom and care are condensed. Some people say that success = talent and opportunity. Talent is the internal cause and opportunity is the external cause. However, there are many talents in life, and what is lacking is only the eyes that look for opportunities in the details.
