In the next few weeks, I packed all the things that I couldn't carry and found a place to store them. Because I knew there wouldn't be any opportunities in this small university town, I would drive to Southern California to find a job. I thought I would get a reply within a week of finding a job, but after I filled out the job application, it was delayed for two weeks. Until the fourth week, I found myself in an endless wait as usual. At this time, the date when I need to repay the student loan is approaching day by day.
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morning and feel overwhelmed by fear? Fear of things you can't grasp-you are full of hope for one thing, but you are afraid that all you get is the fear that lingers in your heart when you have nightmares. During that time, this feeling occupied my life.
Days feel like weeks, weeks feel like months, and those months give me the feeling of endless abyss. What impressed me the most was that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to change my life.
How can I keep my brain from being driven crazy? I decided to write with a pen. Write down some of your thoughts on a page, which will make everything look clearer and brighter. This writing seems to give me hope. When you reach the end of the road, all you need is a little hope in your heart!
Later, I simply wrote a book about my frustrated experience. This book is called Upstream. The protagonist in the book is a small fish who will never give up his dream no matter what difficulties he meets.
One day, I received a publishing contract for my first book! Since then, my situation has gradually improved. Soon after, I received a publishing contract for the second book. A few months later, I was invited to the Disney Company for an interview, and the company quickly hired me.
Never give up, maybe adversity is a good opportunity for you to achieve yourself. Don't give up even if things seem dark. Two years ago today, I curled up in the car, opened a can and drank the cold soup inside. It's all in the past now.
Inspirational stories about youth 2 In March 2065438+04, a new Internet vertical recruitment website was launched. In just a few months, this recruitment website has nearly 500 corporate users, with a total of 40,000 individual users. By a famous venture capital institution, it won millions of angel investments and became a strong competitor of some old recruitment websites such as Lagou.com and Neitui.com ... The name of this website is Neipin.com, and the founder is Xiao Heng.
Like many young people, as early as when he was studying in university, Xiao Heng had a dream in his heart, and that was to start his own business and company. At that time, the internet business was booming, creating one entrepreneurial legend after another. Xiao Heng University majored in computer, and when he was a graduate student, he specialized in software and microelectronics. He is full of ambition, hoping to learn something useful and carve out his own world in the internet field.
However, when he stepped into the society, Xiao Heng found that apart from his professional knowledge, he was empty-handed and wanted to start a business. How easy it is! At that time, he learned that a Japanese company was in urgent need of talents in computer research and development. Xiao Hengxin thought: "This company is a Fortune 500 company. If you can accumulate some work experience there, it will definitely help you to start a business in the future. " To go to Japan, you must first understand Japanese, but Xiao Heng can't even speak a complete sentence of Japanese except a simple greeting. Fortunately, this company took a fancy to his professional level and hired him as an exception.
When I first arrived in Japan, everything was difficult, especially the language barrier, which made Xiao Heng miserable. In order to learn Japanese as soon as possible, Xiao Heng, like an ant gnawing at a bone, began to learn the simplest pronunciation of words. The walls of his dormitory are covered with Japanese words and phrases. Due to long-term intensive listening practice, he left the root of tinnitus a year later. Of course, at the same time, his Japanese level has improved rapidly, and communication with people is no longer a problem. During that time, no matter how difficult it was, Xiao Heng always had a goal, that is, to accumulate experience and lay a good foundation for future entrepreneurship.
Four years later, Xiao Heng was finally able to start his own company. In July 2007, he registered and established a talent dispatch company. However, it was quickly affected by the Japanese economic crisis in 2008, and the company closed down after two years of persistence.
This time, when the business failed, Xiao Heng's hard-earned savings in Japan went to Shui Piao, and he owed a lot of money. After that, Xiao Heng chose to return to China and applied to Huawei to take charge of the project development in Huawei Europe.
Working in Huawei is well paid, and the days of traveling in Beijing and Europe have also brought him completely different life feelings. However, this comfortable and rich life can't make him forget his dreams. On April 20 12, Xiao Heng started his second venture. This time, he made a professional social networking site called "Job-hopping Interest", but after a year and a half, he still failed because of the wrong choice.
Two failed ventures have dealt a heavy blow to Xiao Heng. At this time, he just became a father, and his career was not smooth, so he put all his thoughts on his children.
One day, he accompanied his children to watch an animated film called Speed Snail. He was fascinated by this cartoon and was deeply moved by this little garden snail named Tubo. Teber has always longed to be the greatest racing driver in the world, but this absurd dream has made him spurned by the snail world. However, in a bizarre accident, Teber gained extraordinary ability and gradually approached his once unreachable dream: to compete with world-famous racing drivers. A little snail is still so persistent in chasing dreams. What reason does he have to give up? For the dream, stick to it like that little snail! Only by persistence can those seemingly impossible things become possible!
Xiao Heng, cheer up. He first spent a lot of energy on market research and summed up the failure of his last venture. In his view, it is difficult to form a mutually beneficial relationship simply by relying on an online social networking site, and it is precisely because of this that "work-to-work interest" failed. For professionals, job hunting is just needed. How to make recruiters and job seekers enjoy better service from what they just need is their own opportunity. Based on this idea, Xiao Heng established an internal recruitment network, that is, through the analysis of the needs and conditions of both parties, the relatively suitable people were recommended to the corresponding suitable positions, thus completing the recruitment process.
Although there are many similar Internet vertical recruitment websites, most companies are more like information platforms: attracting recruiters and applicants to settle in and forming huge supply and demand information. In contrast, the internal employment network is based on the matching degree of demand and information, which contains more humanized experiences and idealized things. Therefore, within two months of online recruitment, more than 1000 candidates have been successfully recommended to enterprises, and the interview rate has reached over 50%.
Of course, for Xiao Heng, entrepreneurship has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. However, the success of this venture made Xiao Heng understand that the dream is not far away. Facing the reporter, Xiao Heng was full of confidence: "There are only people who have given up their dreams. As long as you set your goals and make unremitting efforts towards them, one day you will reach the other side of your dreams. "

Inspirational story about youth 4 There is a young man in England who is different from others. He can taste sounds. Different sounds are as delicious as ice cream, mellow wine or truffle chocolate.
Perhaps this is incredible, but it is true. It comes from James Wanaton's unique synaesthesia.
After learning to speak, James always tells his mother coquetry that he likes her very much because she tastes like ice cream.
When my father heard this, he also asked himself curiously what it was. James would pout and say that his father smelled like expired peas.
Parents don't think there is anything unusual about James, but this situation is increasing. /kloc-One day at the age of 0/0, James was doing his homework and his mother was sharpening a pencil. Carelessly, the pencil fell off the table. James immediately stopped writing, looked at the rolling pencil and said to himself, "I taste whole wheat bread." Zheng's mother felt that these smells seriously distracted James and took him to see a doctor. The doctor's diagnosis showed nothing unusual, thinking it was just the rich imagination of the child growing up.
Parents are relieved, but James's illness is getting worse. In history class, when he heard the name of anne boleyn, the headless queen, he couldn't help saying, "I tasted a pear full of juice." The teacher and classmates were stunned and didn't know what James was saying. The teacher warned him to listen carefully in class. But in every history class, James can associate most English monarchs with taste, which makes it easy for him to remember historical events that other students can't recite for a long time, so his historical achievements are always among the best, but students think it is impossible after knowing his special memory method. He's just trying to attract attention.
As he grows older, James will feel different tastes every time he hears someone else's name. When choosing friends, he will also decide others' names according to his own taste, just as the classmate who sleeps in his upper bunk became his good friend because he tasted crispy potato chips. His deskmate gave him a taste of mellow wine and became his girlfriend.
Not only that, James, who just entered the workplace, also remembered the way of working by taste. He feels that his route to work is like a recipe, starting with a jam sandwich and arriving at the company while tasting truffle chocolate. The passing Oxford Square tastes like a cake. This "recipe" not only makes James easily remember the route he wants to take, but also reminds him in time when he accidentally goes in the wrong direction, because in his memory, he will go north and the taste in that direction will turn into bacon. If not, it proves him wrong.
James can perceive the world with his sense of taste, which makes him have a unique and delicious life, but it also adds a lot of troubles to his life. Once, he and his girlfriend watched a movie with a disaster theme, and the ups and downs of the picture superimposed deafening sound effects. This complicated voice has been bothering him. Every time he hears a word, he will unconsciously associate it with the corresponding taste. If he can't find that smell, he will keep thinking about it. There will be countless words in a movie, and James will always want to taste it. Not only did he not realize the shock of the plot, but he was also exhausted.
In a very painful situation, James went to the hospital for an MRI examination, and the result was extremely unexpected. There is a special connection between the parts of his brain that deal with hearing and taste, that is, the synaesthesia ability of mixing two senses. About 4% people in Britain will be affected by this vague feeling, but this kind of taste synaesthesia is rare.
This synaesthesia troubled James, but it was as natural and indispensable as breathing. Knowing his own situation, he joined the British Synaesthesia Association, gave various synaesthesia speeches, and finally became the chairman of the British Synaesthesia Association.
James's unique ability gave him a delicious life, but it also troubled his normal life. However, he turned disadvantages into advantages and broke out his own unique world.
In fact, the opportunity of life is fair to everyone, and there is no success without hard work.
