But what are the characteristics of people who have these two characteristics mentioned by Grandpa?
The first characteristic: be brave in innovation and take an unusual road.
Grandpa said that successful people often have the spirit of innovation. Many of us like to step by step and dig deep in our own fields. However, with the development of things and technology, we should also recognize the shortcomings and drawbacks of our own fields, dare to look for new opportunities in new industries and explore bravely on new roads. Such people can often achieve different careers.
At this time, grandpa told the story of his youth:
Grandpa said that our family was engaged in catering business when we were young, and many branches were opened in the same family. At that time, eating noodles was a very hot thing, and the natural income was also high. However, with the changes of the times and people's food culture, coupled with the continuous rise of various new catering industries, our family's pasta catering industry is gradually declining. In order to cope with the crisis, several elders thought twice, some decided to reduce the scale, and some decided to reduce expenses. In short, it is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. At that time, because I came back from studying abroad, I also saw many new catering industries. After the local market research and summary, I made an important decision on behalf of my family, that is, to go to a new industrial project in Si Kang. Everyone is not optimistic about this new project and is unwilling to do so, but I believe my judgment will not be learned everywhere. I have slept in the street and was rejected. However, after more than a year's study and summary, this scone project began to enter our family catering industry, and was highly praised by diners during the trial operation. In this way, this new scone project has stabilized the position of the family business. In just three years, it has opened 65,438+000 branches and finally became a veritable scone family.
Grandpa's revelation: life is not static. When you encounter a bottleneck in one thing or something you are good at, you should dare to try new things and choose different fields and industries to explore and innovate. Of course, once you choose, you must turn your back. Once you have made up your mind, you should do your best. When you devote enough energy to new fields, you may be close to success.
The second thing: persevere and never give up.
The 99-year-old grandfather said that the biggest gap between people is often not IQ or strength, but perseverance. A person can only stick to his initial intention in doing anything, and can't give up in the face of any difficulties and challenges. If he chooses, he must insist. If he makes a decision, he will be tempered with perseverance. When a person's perseverance surpasses others, then success will be close to you.
