First: Persistence is a virtue.
After graduating from junior college, Millin went to a city in the south to apply for a job. After some efforts, she and two other girls were initially hired by a company. The probation period is one month. If they pass the probation, they will be hired.
During this month, Millin and two girls worked hard. On the 29th day, the company graded them one by one according to their business ability. As a result, although Millin is also excellent, she is still one or two points lower than the other two girls. Manager Wang of the company asked his subordinates to inform Millin: "Tomorrow is your last day of work, and you can check out the bill the day after tomorrow."
On the last day of work, two girls who were retained were concerned and advised Millin, "Anyway, tomorrow the company will give you a month's probation salary, so you don't have to go to work today." Millin smiled and said, "Yesterday's work is still a little unfinished. It's not too late for me to leave after I finish that work. " By three o'clock in the afternoon, Millin had finished the last job. Others advised her to get off work early, but she smiled, unhurriedly wiped the tables and chairs she had worked on, and got off work with her "colleagues". She felt full and stood in the last class. Other employees were moved to see her do this.
The next day, Millin went to the company's finance department to settle the bill. She was about to leave when she met manager Wang. Manager Wang said to her, "Don't go. From today, you will go to work in the quality inspection department. " Hearing this, Millin was shocked. She doesn't believe such a good thing will happen. Manager Wang said with a smile, "I secretly observed you for a long time yesterday afternoon. You have a persistent concept in the face of work." It's just that the quality inspection department of our company is short of a quality inspector, and I believe you will do well there. "
Second: "Open your head a millimeter."
There is a company that produces toothpaste in America. Excellent products, exquisite packaging, deeply loved by consumers, annual turnover is booming. Records show that the annual business growth rate in the first ten years is 10-20%, which makes the board of directors extremely happy. However, when the performance entered the eleventh, twelfth and twelfth years, it stagnated and maintained the same number every month.
Dissatisfied with the performance of these three years, the board of directors held a national meeting of senior managers to discuss countermeasures. During the meeting, a young manager stood up and said to the board of directors, "I have a piece of paper with a suggestion in it." If you want to use my advice, you must pay me another 50 thousand yuan! " "The president was very angry and said," I will pay you a salary every month, plus dividends and rewards. "Now call you a meeting to discuss, you want 50000 yuan. Is it too much? " "Mr. President, please don't get me wrong. If my suggestion doesn't work. You can throw it away without spending a penny. " The young manager explained. "good!" After receiving the paper, the president read it and immediately signed a check for 50 thousand yuan to the young manager.
There is only one sentence written on that piece of paper: enlarge the opening of the existing toothpaste1mm.
The president immediately ordered the replacement of new packaging. Imagine how many times more toothpaste each consumer consumes every morning when using 1mm toothpaste? This decision increased the company's turnover by 32% in the first 14 year.
A small change will often bring unexpected results. When we are faced with new knowledge, new things or new ideas, we must never seal our heads and leave them behind. We should open our hearts 1mm to accept new knowledge and new things. Maybe a new idea can give us a lot of inspiration, so as to improve our performance and life.
Third: "Whether you succeed or not depends on your spare time"
More than a hundred years ago, there was a mathematical problem that puzzled mathematicians all over the world: "Is the 67th power of 2 minus 1 a prime number or a composite number?"
This is a topic of number theory. Although it is far less well-known than Goldbach's conjecture, it is no less difficult to crack. Mathematicians have made various attempts, but all failed.
Surprisingly, a German mathematician named Kohl successfully solved this mathematical problem at the annual meeting of world mathematics held in new york, USA from June 5438 to June 0903.
His demonstration method is simple: multiply the two groups of numbers 193, 707, 72 1 and 767, 838, 257 and 287 vertically, and the results are the same, which proves that the 67th power minus 1 of 2 is a composite number, not a prime number that people suspect.
What's even more surprising is that Cole is not a mathematician who specializes in number theory, it's just his hobby.
During the interview, the reporter asked, "How long did it take you to demonstrate this topic?"
He said, "All Sundays in three years."
Coincidentally, more than one hundred years later, a famous writer was interviewed by a young man in Beijing. He has published more than 5,000 influential works in many well-known journals in China.
The young man asked, "How long did it take you to write so many works?"
He said, "All Sundays for more than twenty years."
The achievements of mathematicians and the works of writers are additional gains.
If you want what others can't get, you have to pay what others can't get. Where you spend your time, your achievements are there. For most people, the most important difference between the two is the difference in spare time, that is, how to use your spare time determines your future.
Fourth: "either' amazing' or experience"
I received many emails, all about the pain of my education. For example, Miss A, because she didn't graduate from a famous university, faces great difficulties in finding a job. Because Mr. B didn't go to college, he had to do heavy manual work, and he didn't know when it would end. Every time I encounter such an email, I don't know how to answer it, because no matter how I answer it, I can't solve the fact that they don't have academic qualifications, don't have the help of nobles, and are outside the standard line.
I can't tell them that there was a security guard who studied hard after work and was admitted to a graduate school in a famous university. There is no way to tell them that there is a nanny aunt who learns recipes while cooking for her master and is admitted to a senior chef. The boss was moved by her seriousness and invested her to open a restaurant. In the end, she became a chain store owner with excellent skills. There is no way to tell them that even Bill Gates doesn't have a college degree. ...
These are all stories from inspirational books. My blood boiled when I listened, thinking I was next. The next day, my enthusiasm cooled down and I continued to fall into the sorrow of life.
No matter what I say to them, I can't solve their practical problems at once. No education is a fait accompli, and it won't change for a while.
I have a friend who dropped out of college for various reasons after only one year. Since then, he has wandered around fourth-tier cities, worked as a salesman and opened a video store. He made up his mind to advertise because he came across an article written by an advertiser in the newspaper. But there are no advertisers in his life circle. What shall we do? Fortunately, he can surf the Internet. He spent a long time collecting the personal data and email addresses of famous advertisers in first-and second-tier cities; It took a long time to collect the information and works of many well-known advertising companies, and also pondered the advertisements that have already gone out of the street; Finally, he downloaded the resumes of countless advertisers for research ... Finally, he spent a long time making a very good resume and submitted it to several well-known advertising companies in Beijing.
So many "long hours" add up to only four months before he decides to be an advertiser. Because of his good resume, he was invited to interview by several advertising companies at the same time, and finally he chose one of his favorite companies as a copywriter.
In four months, he successfully changed careers and joined a well-known advertising company in the industry, and all he could get was a high school diploma. This shows that, in fact, many times, the company employs people and education is not the first reference factor. If you are "good enough", the company will make an exception.
"Amazing" needs to be careful. Except for advertising, which needs creativity, most industries don't need employees to be too "amazing", as long as they have enough experience. Compared with ordinary jobs, experience is far more important than education.
Experience can't be acquired overnight, and it takes a lot of time to accumulate. And how long is this "mass"? A friend once launched an activity called "10,000 hours". It means that you can't be an expert if you do anything for 10 thousand hours, but you can be a master.
We are all ordinary people, and we just want to have a job that can guarantee food and clothing. Then, we don't need amazing talents, but small talents are enough, and small talents can be cultivated the day after tomorrow. Without him, only hands are familiar with ears.
Many times, our difficulty lies not in our lack of education, but in whether we can start a business. Although everything is difficult at the beginning, it is even harder to force yourself to sink down and learn to do things. Life is long, and lamenting that you have nothing will only waste time. The correct attitude is to face up to your personal conditions and see if your ability matches what you want to do: if you have enough ability, your education is just icing on the cake; If the ability is not good, then try to accumulate experience and constantly improve. Only in this way can you do what you want.
Fifth: "It is difficult to turn over when complaining."
I recently went to a chef's friend's restaurant for dinner. There were not many people in the restaurant that night. After cooking, my chef friend came out to chat with me.
"Well, I really don't know how to do business. Recently, we have opened many restaurants in this street, and there are more and more competitors, which makes it more and more difficult to do business here. " He said.
He complained about many things. For example, the office workers in Taipei are getting poorer and poorer, many of them are moonlight people, and a person simply has no money to go out for dinner several times. In recent months, the weather is unstable, and it often rains heavily. Everyone doesn't want to go out for dinner. He also believes that the boss decided not to apply for a credit card to pay for the restaurant, and the guests must use cash, which should be the reason why the guests are reluctant to come to the door.
Listening to his complaints, I suddenly remembered that when I came here six months ago, this restaurant had just opened for a few months, and my friend felt that the guests had complained for a long time: "Well, I really don't know how to do business. There are no restaurants in this street, only our home. Guests will not come specially, and business is difficult. "
God must think that humans are really hard to please. It is difficult for his family to "market" alone. Many people came to the market and complained about stealing business.
I asked him, maybe I can help him solve the problem, if he has a financial report. He brought it. I watched it for a while and soon found a problem: "Your business is good at noon, but not so good at night. This is the work area, and I'm afraid it's not good at night. " It's better to cut expenses in the evening. You see, there are five workers in your shop at night, but on average less than 10 people come every day. If fewer people are invited to the night shift, the labor cost will be much less. "According to the empirical value, if the ingredients and manpower of a restaurant exceed 60% of the total turnover, there is no way to make money at all. His restaurant is more than 50%, so it's strange not to pay.
Hearing this suggestion, he immediately bounced back: "The boss also thinks that I have invited too many people. But I am a chef in a five-star hotel. I didn't invite many people and lost face. What's more, sometimes people order birthday parties or something at night. In case there are suddenly more guests, it is difficult for me to find someone to support immediately. "
He doesn't want to change. I gave a wry smile and knew I didn't have to say anything more. The data of business society can speak. If the data is not ideal, there must be problems that must be solved. If all you know is complaining, then you can only wait for the problem to solve you.
There are many restaurants in Taiwan Province Province, which are located in remote alleys, so weddings. If you do it well enough, someone will go far. Once I went to a restaurant in the suburbs in stormy weather, and risked landslides and falling rocks, people were still "crowded".
I want to tell you that if a person keeps blaming others, at first, he will have a very easy life because the fault lies with others. But he will eventually live heavier and heavier. Worst of all, he will blame himself. It's easiest to blame fate, because destiny takes a hand, it's none of your business. It is difficult to turn over when you meet a strange fate.
A person's attitude determines whether he will find the light. If he can accept the facts frankly and make efforts to improve, then he will always be a person worth looking forward to.
