Lincoln was a sailor in his early years. One day in June, he and several sailors came to the slave auction market in the southern American city of New Orleans. They saw rows of slaves standing there in shackles and handcuffs, all of them tied together by thick ropes. Slave owners look at their slaves like mules and horses. Sometimes they will go up and touch their arms and pat their thighs to see if they are strong enough to work in the future. Slave owners whipped slaves and branded them with red-hot iron bars. At this time, young Lincoln said angrily, "What a shame! When I have a chance, I must completely crush this slavery. "

1860, at the age of 5/kloc-0, Lincoln won the US presidential election and became the President of the United States. He really abolished slavery and realized this great ambition. At the same time, he is respected by the American people.

Second, there is a rule in Japanese catering industry: dishes should be washed with water for seven times, and dishes should be paid by piece. There is a part-time student who washes every dish five times in order to gain profits and improve work efficiency. He thinks that washing five times is clean enough, so he washes twice less. After checking, the boss said, "You are dishonest, please leave." The boss also told other restaurants that he could not take in this part-time student. In the future, the student went to other catering industries to apply, and repeatedly hit a wall. In despair, he had to leave the city. This example is exactly what Confucius said-people don't believe and don't know what they can do. A person who is dishonest may cheat others for a while, but he won't and can't cheat others for a lifetime. Once discovered, it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in society, and the result is to harm others and himself.

Arthur Pu Letore, owner of New Jersey-Manhattan Shipping Company and president of P-T Freight Company;

When I was 65,438+00 years old, it was the Great Depression. I work on a big truck and deliver special food to 65,438+000 stores every day. After working 12 hours, I can only earn sandwiches, drinks and 50 cents. While working in a candy store on the corner of my street, I found 65,438+05 cents under the table and gave it to my boss. The boss held my shoulder and admitted that the money was put on purpose.

In my later years, I worked as a waiter, a parking attendant and a house cleaner. Later, when my truck transportation business struggled for four years in a row, I will remember that my candy store learned a lesson about trust, which is the key for me to cooperate with others, create a career and finally make my business successful.

Fourth, Zhengzhou Yong. The Gaolingqiao project from April 1953 to May 1955 was a great difficulty he faced. Gaolingqiao project is sponsored by the government. Because it is located in the main traffic road, the construction is difficult, but the profit is also considerable. After many twists and turns, Zheng Zhouyong applied for this project, but it is much more difficult to do!

At that time, although the modernization was well funded, the equipment was extremely backward. At the beginning of the project, many disasters were encountered. Gaoling Bridge is a flash flood-prone area, and its piers are easily washed away by floods. And so on and on. One year has passed, and the pier 13 has not been repaired, but the price has risen rapidly, and the expenditure before the end of the project has already exceeded the budget. Modern architecture is facing a serious financial crisis!

But Zheng Zhouyong is a man of his word. Even without money, he is determined to finish the project and pay the workers' wages. In desperation, the whole family sold the house and raised 99.7 million cash, which saved the modern construction. Although the project lost more than 65 million yuan and paid a heavy price, Zheng Zhouyong also gained something that money can't buy-credibility! To this end, the Korean government spoke highly of this project and played a great role in undertaking government projects in the future.
