Once upon a time, there was a man named Zhang. He has a frog named Tolstoy. Zhang works in a multinational company. Although he leads a carefree life, he always dreams of becoming rich one day.
One day, Zhang Ling had a brainwave and said to Tolstoy, "We will be rich soon. I will teach you to fly!" " "
"Wait a minute, I can't fly! I am a frog, not a sparrow! "
Zhang was disappointed: "Your negative attitude is really a big problem. I want to give you a training class. "
So Tolstoy took a three-day training course. He studied strategy, time management and effective communication, but he knew nothing about flying.
On the first day of flight training, Meng Zhang King was very excited, but Tolstoy was very scared. Zhang explained that the apartment they live in has 15 floors. Tolstoy jumped out of the window from the first floor, adding one floor every day, and finally reaching 15 floor. After each parachute jump, Tolstoy should sum up his experience, find out the most effective flying techniques, and then apply these techniques to the next training. When he reached the top floor, Tolstoy learned to fly.
Poor Tolstoy asked Zhang to think about his life, but Zhang didn't listen at all: "This frog doesn't understand the meaning of frog flying at all. It can't see my grand plan." Therefore, Meng Zhang King did not hesitate to open the window on the first floor and threw Tolstoy out.
The next day, when preparing for the second flight training, Tolstoy once again begged Zhang not to throw himself out. Zhang took out a pocket-sized High Performance Management, and then explained to Tolstoy how serious the resistance would be when people faced a brand-new and creative project. Next, only heard 1 of "pa", Tolstoy was thrown out again.
On the third day, Tolstoy adjusted his strategy, namely procrastination. It requires that flight training be postponed until there are the most suitable climatic conditions for flight. But Zhang was prepared for this. He took out a timetable and pointed out, "You certainly don't want to ruin the training progress, do you?" So Tolstoy knew that not jumping today only means jumping twice tomorrow.
Can't say Tolstoy didn't try his best. For example, on the fifth day, it added an aileron to its leg, trying to become a bird; On the sixth day, he wore a red cloak around his neck and tried to turn himself into a "superman", but all this was in vain. On the seventh day, Tolstoy had to resign himself to fate and no longer begged Zhang's kindness. It just looked straight at Meng Zhang King and said, "You know you're killing me, right?"
Zhang pointed out that up to now, Tolstoy's performance was not imitative, so he didn't achieve the goal he set for himself at all. In this regard, Tolstoy said calmly: "Shut up and open the window." Then it jumped to a stone corner downstairs.
Tolstoy was smashed like a leaf. Zhang was extremely disappointed with Tolstoy. The flight plan was a complete failure. Tolstoy didn't learn to fly. It landed like a bag of sand falling from upstairs, completely ignoring Zhang's advice: "fly smartly, don't fall violently."
Now, the only thing Zhang can do is to analyze the whole process and find out the problem. After careful consideration, I smiled: "Next time, I will find a clever frog!" "
Success lies not in how grand your blueprint is, but in whether you choose the right direction. Wrong direction, no matter how rigorous your plan is, no matter how hard you try, no matter how beautiful your vision is, it is all in vain. !
When I was a child, I once went to catch the pheasant in the Woods with my grandfather. Grandpa taught me to use a hunting machine, which is like a box, supported by a stick, and the rope tied to the stick has been connected to my hidden bush. As long as the pheasant is tempted by scattered corn kernels and pecks all the way, it will explode. All I have to do is pull the rope, and then I'm done.
Soon after the box was set up and hidden, a pheasant flew in, with nine pheasants. Probably hungry for a long time, and soon six pheasants walked into the box. I was just about to pull the rope, and I thought, let those three go in, too. Let's wait. After waiting for a while, three people came out instead of jumping out. I regretted it and said to myself, even if another one walks in, I will pull the rope. Then, two more came out. If I pull the rope at this time, I can still trap 1, but I don't want to lose my good luck, thinking that some of it should go back. Finally, even the last one came out.
That time, I didn't even catch a pheasant, but I caught a truth that benefited me all my life: human desires are insatiable and opportunities are fleeting; Greed not only makes it difficult for me to get more, but also loses what I could have got.
Comments: People who have speculated on stocks have the deepest understanding of this story: when the stocks in their hands start to make money, they think they will rise, and so on. When I fell in the past, I thought that I didn't sell it at the high point a few days ago. Now you can only earn so much money by selling it, until it rises back. As a result, they became a locked group. Cooked ducks can fly, that's why.
Adan met a painter who was good at drawing tigers by chance, and the painter warmly invited him to his home.
Pushing open the door, a roaring tiger came at me, and the evil wind burst, which made my hair stand on end. It was a long time before Adan came to his senses and realized that what he saw was just Chinese painting with ink. But it is really vivid and lifelike, and its majestic momentum is approaching the floor from the ceiling.
"You draw a tiger very well. Why not open up some roads, draw some cats and dogs, and draw some landscapes and plants? " After a long sigh, Adan asked the painter devoutly, hoping he would say a word. Who knows the painter shook his head, thought for a moment, and dug out a big wooden box from under the bed. "Look at the paintings here and you will understand." He whispered.
Pop open the lid of the box. Ah, they are all landscapes, flowers and birds. But Dan picked it up and pondered it carefully, but he couldn't help but shut his compliment mouth. At this moment, I heard the painter say, "Now you see my weak side. Do you know why I draw tigers? "
Exploring makes people have no regrets; Failure is thought-provoking; The rest is calm and focused, neither looking forward nor looking back, but also attacking aimlessly in all directions.
There are only two conditions for success: first, all aspects have been tried; Second, choose the right target and go all out.
Liao Rongdian, president of American international investment consulting company, has a famous percentage law. He thinks, if you meet the customer of 10 and only get the 200 yuan order of 10, what do you think of the first 9 failures and rejections? He said, "Remember, you earned 200 yuan because you met a customer of 10, not a customer of 10 earned you 200 yuan. Instead, it should be regarded as that each customer used 20 yuan of 200 ÷ 10 to let you do business. So the income that is rejected every time is 20 yuan. When you are rejected, thinking that this customer rejected me is equivalent to making me earn 20 yuan. You should treat the income as 20 yuan and smile. "
Wang Aocheng Liangzhi, promoted by Nissan Motor Company of Japan, has a similar statement. He saw from a car magazine that according to statistics, the turnover rate of Japanese car salesmen visiting customers is1/30; In other words, one in 30 people will buy a car. This information inspired him. He believes that as long as he has visited 29 people in a row, the 30th one is the customer. Most importantly, he felt that he would like to thank not only the 30th buyer, but also the 29th buyer who didn't buy before, because without the previous 29 setbacks, how could he have succeeded for the 30th time!
Success has a certain probability distribution, and the key depends on whether you can persist until success begins to appear.

After a few days, the island is really sinking, and I want to find someone to help.
At this time, Fuyu passed by in a big boat.
Love said, "Wealth, can you take me away?"
Richness replied, "No, there is a lot of gold and silver in my boat, and there is no place for you."
Love saw vanity on a gorgeous boat and said, "vanity, help me!" " "
I can't help you. You are soaked to the skin, and you will ruin my beautiful boat. "
Sadness came, and love wanted her to ask for help: "Sadness, let me go with you!" " "
"Oh ... love, I'm so sad, I want to be alone for a while!" Sadness replied.
Happiness passed by love, but she was too happy to hear love calling her!
Suddenly, a voice came: "Come here! Love, I will take you away. "
This is an elder. Love was overjoyed and forgot to ask his name. After landing, the elder walked away alone.
Love was very grateful to the elder. She asked another elder knowledge, "Who is that person who helped me?" ? "
"He is time." The knowledge old man replied.
"Time?" Love asked, "Why did he help me?" "

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man in Chu who was good at archery, and his name was Yang Shu. He can shoot leaves on poplar branches from a hundred paces away, and every shot can hit. The king of Chu envied his uncle's archery and asked him to teach him archery. Uncle Yang teaches archery. The king of Chu practiced cheerfully for quite a while, and gradually became comfortable, so he invited Uncle Yang to go hunting in the wild with him.
The hunting began, and the king of Chu ordered people to drive away the wild ducks hiding in the reeds. The wild duck flapped its wings in panic. King Chu was about to shoot an arrow when a goat jumped out from his left. The king of Chu thinks it is much more cost-effective to shoot a goat with an arrow than to shoot a wild duck! So the king of Chu pointed the arrow at the goat again and prepared to shoot it. But at this moment, a sika deer suddenly jumped out on the right. The king of Chu thought that if he shot a rare sika deer, the value would be much higher than that of a goat, so he aimed his arrow at the sika deer again. Suddenly, everyone exclaimed for a while. It turned out that a precious goshawk flew out from the treetops and fluttered into the air. The king of Chu thought it best to shoot the goshawk.
But when he was about to aim at the goshawk, the goshawk flew away quickly. The king of Chu had to come back and shoot the sika deer, but the sika deer also escaped. I had to go back to find the goat, but the goat had run away and even the duck disappeared without a trace.
The king of Chu painted a picture with a bow and arrow for a long time, and nothing came out.
Do you want to do this and that and get nothing? "Single-mindedness" is a difficult lesson, but it is a necessary life topic. Opportunities are fleeting, and you must have a firm belief in order to seize the opportunities you have been pursuing and achieve your goals.
Many brewers find it difficult to open the beer market in Brussels, Belgium. So someone learned from Belgium's best-selling "Hello" brand brewery. Hello Brewery is located in the eastern suburb of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. There is nothing special about the factory or production equipment. But Linda, the sales director of the factory, is a sensational planner in Europe. The beer culture festival he planned was once popular in many European countries.
Linda was less than 25 years old when she first came to this brewery. At that time, he took a fancy to a very good girl in the brewery, but the girl said to him, "I won't take a fancy to an ordinary man like you." So Linda decided to do something unusual.
At that time, the market share of Harrow Brewery was decreasing year by year, because beer sales were sluggish and there was no money to advertise on TV or newspapers. Linda, a salesperson, repeatedly suggested that the director make a speech or advertisement on TV, but she was rejected by the director. Linda decided to risk doing what she wanted to do. He contracted the sales of the factory with a loan. Just as he was worried about how to make the most economical advertisement, he strolled to Julian Square in the center of Brussels. The bronze statue in the center of the square inspired him. The bronze statue of the boy who peed in the center of the square doused the fuse of the invaders bombing the city with his own urine, thus saving Julian, the little hero of the city. Linda suddenly decided that he would do something that surprised everyone.
The next day, people passing by the square found that Lian's urine turned into golden yellow, sparkling "hello" beer, and the slogan "Hello beer is free to taste" was written on the big billboard next to it. Word of mouth spread, and soon the whole city took out bottles and cups from home and lined up to get beer. Television stations, newspapers and radio stations rushed to report. At the end of the year, this year's beer sales volume was 18 times that of the previous year.
Linda became a famous sales expert in Brussels. His experience tells us that if we want to succeed faster, we must do what others have not done.
Two developers, one developing the Dream Garden in the east of the city, and the other developing the Phoenix Villa in the west of the city. East of the city hired the best designers and used the first-class construction team, and so did west of the city.
A year later, the dream garden with a total investment of one billion yuan was completed. 60 buildings are arranged by the lake, with sparkling reflections, fresh and quiet, winding cloisters and flowers everywhere. It's really like being in a garden. Soon, Phoenix Villa was also completed. It really looks like a mountain villa, with 60 buildings built on the mountain, green bricks and tiles, shady trees, breezy breezes and birds singing. This is indeed an ideal place to live.
Enchanted gardens first advertised on TV, followed by newspapers and radio stations. They plan to invest10 million yuan for publicity, making the dream garden a real dream place for buyers. After the completion of Phoenix Villa, it also provided10 million, but it was not given to the advertising company, but to the bus company, asking them to increase the number of buses running on the western line from every half hour to every five minutes. A month later, the house sold by Phoenix Villa was 10 times that of Yuan Meng Garden. A year later, Phoenix Villa began to liquidate, and Yuan Meng Garden began to reduce its price.
Now there is a bus to Phoenix Villa every 2 minutes. By taking the bus on this line, people can get a colorful ticket the size of a park ticket. There are advertisements for Phoenix Villa on the front and quatrains on the back. This ticket is changed every week. It is said that a child in Fenghuang Mountain Villa recited more than 400 Tang poems in the car, at least 50 poems.
Not long ago, Yuan Meng Garden filed for bankruptcy, and Phoenix Villa bought it. Since then, there has been another line printed with Song Ci in the urban area.
A 6-year-old boy, while playing outside one day, found a bird's nest blown off a tree by the wind and a hungry sparrow rolled out of it. The little boy decided to take it home to feed.
When he walked to the door with bird's nest, he suddenly remembered that his mother didn't allow him to keep small animals at home. So he gently put the sparrow at the door and hurried into the house to ask his mother. At his entreaties, mother finally made an exception and agreed.
The little boy ran to the door excitedly, only to find that the sparrow was gone. He saw a black cat licking its mouth. The little boy was sad for a long time. But from then on, he also remembered a lesson: as long as it is what he believes, he must never be indecisive. The little boy achieved something when he grew up. He is a computer celebrity in China-Dr. Wang An.
Speaking a foreign language: in life, indecision can avoid the possibility of doing something wrong, but it may lose more chances of success.
The secret of IBM's success in becoming the largest computer manufacturing company in the world today is to create good after-sales service conditions for customers.
