There is a famous Hilton steel plate value theory in economics. An ordinary steel plate is worth $5, and if it is made into horseshoe palm, it is worth $65438+00.5; If it is made into a steel needle, it is worth $3,550.8; If it is made into the pointer of a watch, its value can climb to $250,000.
Most people are born in ordinary families, perhaps with average education and looks, just like an ordinary "steel plate", only worth $5. And those "steel plates" that have been brutally polished and tempered again and again and become the hands of clocks and watches can increase their life value by a thousand times and realize the multiplication of life value, thus becoming a person with high added value.
(3) What makes us have such a big gap and an insurmountable gap in front of fair time? The answer is actually very simple-yourself. It's entirely up to you to make a steel plate, a horseshoe, a steel needle or a pointer for a watch.
(4) The higher the value, the more painful it is, and the more you need to pay. Many people envy those stars and idols for becoming famous overnight, but how many people have thought about the unknown hardships behind their glamour? No one can succeed casually, and those stars and idols are no exception. "One minute on stage, ten years off stage." Their success is also the result of hard work. There are also many people who say that their success is the joint efforts of all parties, and it is external conditions that make them successful. If you think like this, you ignore the most basic philosophical common sense-internal cause is fundamental, external cause is condition, external cause works through internal cause, and their success is also the result of subjective efforts.
⑤ Success is a process, and this process is hard work. Others can only help you for a ride, but can't help you for a lifetime. After this journey, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Zheng Banqiao, a master of painting and calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty, famously said, "Sweating makes food count for the sky. It is not a hero to do your own thing, eat by the sky and eat by your ancestors. "
6. Small saplings growing under towering trees can only become shrubs or even die because they depend on the shade. People are the same. Some people can't stand on their own feet in thought, take care of themselves in life, and are unwilling to strive for self-improvement in study, all because they are too dependent on others. It should be noted that dependence can only breed inertia, bind hands and feet, and finally annihilate the courage and perseverance of self-reliance and self-improvement.
Although this is an era of collusion between officials and businessmen, it is still up to you to succeed. Therefore, don't pin your future and hope on others, don't let your destiny be in others' hands, you should be in your own hands. Only by being your own master can you finally reach the peak of success.
