The reason for Xiang Yu's failure, according to Mr. Li Zongwu, is that "a woman's heart is unbearable, and its root lies in her black heart;" The courage of a man is that he can't stand anger, and the root of his illness is that he has no skin. " In other words, Xiang Yu himself has a sense of inferiority in failure. Among them, Mr. Li Zongwu got to the point, that is, "If you cross the Wujiang River and make a comeback, who will die?"? "However, Xiang Yu gave up, and he decided that everything was over. He trapped himself in the loser formula: one failure means never success. So, he held back, drew his sword and committed suicide, and became a complete loser.
Become a Top Scholar: Establish a Correct Career Concept
In the pursuit of career and study, there are still some setbacks due to the incorrect career concept. The division of 369 makes some professional employees feel the attack of failure everywhere. In fact, there is no distinction between high and low occupations. No matter what your income is, as long as you can feel that your work is valuable and work hard with a passion, your work will be excellent. The whole society is supported by such people. They enrich mankind. For these people, work seems to have a magic power, which always attracts them. The Great Wall building was built in an era without any modern mechanical tools. How many people have worked hard to create such a long dragon with charm in the mountains! So do modern construction workers. In some fields, no matter how advanced mechanical tools are, they can't replace human labor. Architects have designed great drawings, but without the hard work of construction workers, even the best blueprints will not be realized.
Abraham lincoln, who is famous for the Emancipation Proclamation, once said: "There are no humble jobs in the world, only humble people." Humble people will only make huge profits through illegal acts such as fraud and corruption, but they will never understand the true meaning of work. No matter what work you do, as long as you can get spiritual comfort from it and be proud of it, you will dedicate your strength to it and be proud of it; On the contrary, those forced jobs will make people lose their enthusiasm and interest in work. Occupation is the pillar of life. People who don't know the meaning of work will never be really rich. Labor can turn the world into a paradise, and people who don't work will never enter this paradise.
In English, labor is the word labor. Some people think that it evolved from the word slave. Working like a slave is certainly painful. The word "work" means work in English. As an employee, when you feel that you are creating a work, your sense of responsibility will arise. So they will regard labor as a pleasure and go to work with a happy mood.
Because everyone has different ideas, there will be great differences in their understanding of labor. How a person knows each other depends on himself. If you can work happily, you can get rid of the pain of labor, thus achieving the sublimation of due diligence from your work. Gorky, a famous Russian writer, said: "If work is painful, life is hell." After all, only work can keep people away from boredom, evil and poverty. Therefore, young friends, no matter how your career progresses, whether it is failure or success, don't give up easily, but try to stick to it. Remember, only in your work and career can you find your true belonging and value! And as long as you agree, any job will bring you achievements and enrichment.
John is a beautiful and healthy Italian with unfathomable black eyes. Received a doctorate in organic chemistry and worked as a researcher at Ivy League Medical College for 10 years. He comes from the working class, his father is a carpenter, and he is extremely proud of having a son who teaches in a university.
When he got the job in medical school, John seemed to understand what he would do for the rest of his life. He doesn't love this job-there are many sleepless nights, and he is deeply depressed about his monotonous job. However, it is this job that gives him prestige, the fulcrum of his life and a lot of income. His monthly salary may be more than his father's annual salary. Unexpectedly, at the age of 34, he left with his research tutor. Although he submitted his application as usual, his application was rejected and he was fired because there was no tutor to back him up.
"I feel very close to death. I don't have enough savings and working capital, and my wife's job is really low-paid. I feel horrible. I am a researcher. Although I don't like this job, I can only do this. I'm afraid to go home and tell my wife the news. I walked three miles to the unemployment office and stood outside the door, afraid to go in. " John said.
But he finally pushed the door and went in. In order to find a job in the university, he sent nearly 50 letters, but there was no reply. He became more and more depressed. He never thought that he would have such a day. Years of studying hard at a cold window earned him a doctorate, but why can't he live a happy life? If you don't work hard, you will be punished by God, but he has been diligent! His thesis is among the best in the evaluation of the school; In the usual research, the tutor often marvels at his genius ideas; In class, the students were surprised by his erudition and quick response. Naughty children often make other teachers blush, but they can't embarrass him. He is always so confident, calm and calm ... I don't know why, he can't get the favor of the school management. He's confused.
Faced with the despair of survival crisis, by chance, he learned that his neighbor was looking for someone to paint the house, so he put on his work clothes and picked up a brush. Later, he was asked to panel the bedroom. When he was a child, his father often said, "When you grow up, you should use your brain to make a living, not your hands." Whenever I think of this sentence, he gives it a sad smile. "I have studied chemistry for so many years, and finally got my doctorate through layers of defense. I never dreamed that I would end up doing manual labor. " John finally returned to the working class and ended his monotonous life. "You know, it's not bad. I earn almost as much money as I did in college. If there is a rainstorm, I earn more. I am going to open a house decoration company myself in the future. " From the university to the construction site, there may not be many people like John, but he is still a representative.
Sometimes, in the process of pursuing your career, you may accidentally fall into the north. When you think you have done your best, failure will still strike you suddenly, which will undoubtedly give you a fatal blow. At this time, in fact, as far as you are concerned, there should not be too much self-blame and sadness. God has done something wrong, and mortals can never correct it! If God is so unreasonable, give it another chance. If the result is still the same, you can stop being cruel. You can jump out of the framework of the old life and try a new way of life. Like John, you can throw away your doctor's smelly hat and go back to the blue-collar team. Maybe that's where you belong. There is no distinction between high and low occupations in society. It's people who ask for trouble, who divide people into three classes according to their occupations. As long as it can bring you rich living materials and a good mood, you should be satisfied!
Correctly treat "no remorse", where there is a will, there is a way.
There are always failures in life, and not all failures can find their own reasons. But no matter why, the key is to see how we view our career and all kinds of failures in our career. Different minds, different mentalities, different natural realms, and different results of failure. The following Lin's experience may bring us some enlightenment.
Lin, who is in his early thirties this year, was originally the first vice president of a film company. Five years ago, together with the president, she founded this film company which is now famous in Beijing from scratch. Lin is an open-minded, cheerful, energetic and dedicated person. Over the years, she has made a lot of efforts for the company and achieved considerable results. For this company, she racked her brains and exhausted her wisdom. She never asks personal questions, but for the sake of the company's business development, she crustily skin of head visited all her relatives and friends in Beijing. She sees everything she wants to see and doesn't want to see, and for the development of her career, and sometimes she looks so humble. Although sometimes she feels a little wronged, some comrades who don't work hard can still be equal to her and get the same income, but more often, her heart is still very down-to-earth, because she feels that she is pursuing real personal ideals. She advised herself to look at her gains and losses in her work from the perspective of life ideal. When she thinks so, she is willing to pay all her wisdom and strength for it.
Everything comes to him who waits. Her impressive achievements prove her ability and realize her ideal step by step. In the envious and even jealous eyes of her colleagues, she saw her career and her success. To this end, she has always believed in her ability until she was recently fired by the president himself.
"It's like a happy marriage broke down. My energetic, eloquent and indomitable spirit was once favored by my boss, but now it has become unbearable for him. The fact is that business is in trouble, which puts him in trouble. He decided to change everything, so he thought of firing me. " "But, why don't I take the initiative to resign, I still don't understand. All the signs indicate what will happen, I can see it in my eyes, but I still firmly believe in my bones that he will not dismiss me. After all, we went through the most difficult period of starting a business together, and now it's starting a business, and it's no harder than everything we endured at the beginning. I left my youth and youth in this company. Once separated, the wisdom I rely on will not be able to resist this pain. I think my boss knows my situation. But to my surprise, I, the lucky one who always ranks among the best and never falls, was fired. " She smoked a cigarette and said slowly.
"In the beginning, I wanted to get back at him. I wanted to destroy the whole purchase and sale network that I had created for the company for so many years. However, I can't stand the thought of the destruction of the company. If I bring down the company, I'm sorry that I have worked hard for so many years and I can't explain to my five years of youth. As long as it exists, it can prove my past existence and achievements. It has become an indispensable part of my life. Every night before I go to bed, I want to think about its condition. I used to go to the accounting office every day. The uninformed people think that I am taking every opportunity to seek benefits for myself, but the informed people are moved by my spirit. The boss can't read the financial statements. I want to know about cash flow, debt repayment and creditor's rights redemption ... After all, in today's market economy, finance is the foundation of an enterprise. Once the financial chaos or paralysis, enterprises are bound to close down. On one occasion, in order to help enterprises tide over the financial crisis, I took away all my only personal savings of 654.38 million yuan without asking the company for a penny of interest. " "In our line, most people are rich, but I'm not. I have very little money. You may not even believe it. I didn't set up this company with him for money. I am idealistic and too romantic. I regard it as my ideal to pursue and manage. So in my daily business, I firmly oppose some behaviors that are not in line with public morality. I don't want to make adulterated, fake and shoddy things. If the boss wants to do it, I will try my best to stop him. Maybe my temper offended him, so when he was looking for the future development of the company, he first thought of operating on me ... "
In her memory, shame, loneliness and fear are still torturing her mercilessly. Her dismissal completely changed her life. She doesn't know what to do in the future! What can you do! A career failure destroyed the mansion of her life and career, and she had to ponder how to go on in the future. But she said, no matter what, she will resolutely go on. ...
Lin's story is over. I can't help but admire and admire her idealization. If there are more people like Lin in our society, can our life be peaceful and progressive? Many people feel that their career has achieved nothing at the end of their lives, but they are confused. I have paid so much, why didn't my career succeed? Through Lin's story, it seems that we can find a cure for them: do more practical things and less utilitarian ideas. As the saying goes, no desire is just. In the pursuit of career and ideals, don't be too dominated by secular ideas, and don't care too much about your own gains and losses, so as to realize your lofty ideals. I think it is difficult for a man with great literary talent to succeed if he is unwilling to endure the poverty and loneliness of literature on the road of pursuing literature and instead pursue the stimulation of reality and fame and fortune and engage in economic research and creation. Although he may have done well in the economic field, I'm afraid it is insignificant compared with his achievements in the literary field as always. Because the value of ideal cannot be measured by money, personal ideal is essentially the decomposition of social ideal at the personal level. God endows people with different personalities and specialties, that is, according to the principle of effective allocation of resources in the market, people can pursue their personal ideals and realize their social ideals to the maximum extent. Isn't it a crime to give up one's due contribution to social ideals for one's own benefit in the process of pursuing one's career? Although Lin is now in trouble and has been treated inappropriately on the way to realize her personal values and ideals, we believe that as long as she persists, she will eventually succeed.
There will never be setbacks in your career. There can be no Ma Pingchuan. How can there be a winning general who never fails? The problem is, we must have the spirit of never giving up, turn the lessons of failure into wealth, the green hills will never fall, and the green waters will never flow, and start all over again. There is no mountain that cannot be crossed, and there is no river that cannot be crossed. As long as the enterprising spirit is still there, as long as we make unremitting efforts, the god of fate will eventually come to this youthful life.
Pat Riley was the head coach of the American NBA super team new york Knicks, and he was a successful coach. He led the Los Angeles Lakers to win four championships in nine seasons, and he also had failures in his career.
1976, he was kicked out of the NBA as a player, forcing him to leave his long-term career, as well as things that kept him belonging, such as interpersonal relationships, friendship, a regular job and a stable income. At that time, he was in pain and filled with anger, but he finally left the stadium with regret. He used to feel sorry for himself, and many facts made him unacceptable at the moment. He lamented his fate. Why can't he achieve the glory of his career on the basketball court?
Undaunted, he decided not to leave basketball. He began to engage in some humble occupations, first as a secretary of the tour, and then as a radio commentator for the Lakers game. However, a year and a half later, he signed up as an assistant coach of the Lakers, and two years later, he became the head coach of the Lakers. Looking back on what happened in the past, Pat Riley felt a lot. The only thing we can continue to rely on in life is change, but many people resist it. They don't take the initiative to take correct and quick action. Don't say "thank you, goodbye", and then move on with a calm heart. They just wait for the inevitable to happen. "Fortunately, I didn't do that at that time." Pat Riley said.
Sometimes you are forced to change because some things are beyond your control; Sometimes you have to accumulate some experience before you realize that you have to make changes to move forward. Whatever the reason, I think we all know that the wind of change will blow at any time, and it is important to listen to these inner voices. We must regard these moments in life as opportunities to take a step towards a better world. This is life, there is nothing wrong. If we make good use of it, some changes are beautiful. Embrace change, great happiness is waiting for you there. In the process of people's career pursuit, being defeated and not surrendering is victory. The value of easy success is not high, but the significance of hard work is greater. As Shakespeare said, once you start a career, don't give up until you win the victory you deserve, that is, where there is a will, there is a way.
Zhong-Li Yongbo of China Badminton Team is a heavyweight player in the world badminton. In the course of 38 years' life, he created many glories ... it was he who made the five-star red flag fly on the field many times; It was he who made the magnificent national anthem reverberate in the stadium. The little badminton spins in the air, drawing a beautiful arc, drawing the most beautiful stroke of Li Yongbo and his China badminton team's life ... from local team and national team to becoming a world champion; From ordinary players and coaches to the head coach of the national team, Li Yongbo's life course is clear and continuous, and he climbed to the top of the pyramid of life step by step. But it is such a lucky guy who looks unusually smooth, and he has experienced many twists and turns in the process of his growth.
When Li Yongbo just stayed as the coach, the China badminton team was in a difficult period, and Li Yongbo, Tian and others stayed at the crucial moment. The uneven team structure made the new coach at a loss from the beginning, and his performance in several competitions was not satisfactory. For a time, anguish and hesitation formed a complex that Li Yongbo could not get rid of. The beginning of coaching career is not smooth, which makes people feel chilling. However, Li Yongbo, who has been on the battlefield for many years, has not been discouraged, and his actions have not kept up with the pace of innovation. He and other coaches plan new training plans, strengthen contact with local teams, and attract as many outstanding talents as possible for the national team ... for this, he has paid a lot. However, in this process, Li Yongbo also felt setbacks and failures from time to time. After all, it takes time to cultivate people's ability and form a healthy system, and it is always rare to do it overnight. The strong desire for success made him doubt himself many times ... finally, his firm belief helped him: those who achieve great things must first suffer their will. Isn't this feeling of failure and depression the best exercise for their hearts?
Many people don't want others to know their failure. After one or two failures, he may feel ashamed and refuse to try anything that seems difficult for him in the future. In fact, successful people often fail, and they often leave the mark of "they should have succeeded but failed" on their successful journey. Challenge IBM, the dominant computer company at that time, and compete with IBM for the market with its own high-quality photo typesetting machine, various word machines and word processing equipment. 197 1 year, due to the advent of emerging large-scale integrated circuits, the price of calculators plummeted, and there are signs of further decline. At this time, the sales of calculators accounted for 70% of Wang An Company. There is no doubt that this is no small challenge. No matter what you do, you can only win, but you can't fail, because once you miss, it means disaster. What shall we do? Eliminate old products and find new markets, or remain the same? At this critical moment, Wang recognized the situation clearly, made decisive decisions and adopted a series of effective measures to tide over the crisis. At the same time, old rival IBM refused to update and stuck to its traditional dominant territory. The result is tragic: in this market shock, IBM lost 7 billion yuan and another big company went bankrupt. The impressive record is inspiring, but Wang An is not complacent. After breaking through the million mark, Wang took two major measures: establishing a sales network all over the United States; Change private ownership into public offering of shares. These two decisions made the Wangs quickly become billionaires with $50 million. Then, he set up business sales departments all over the world, increased foreign investment, established new factories, and moved his Asian business headquarters to Hong Kong to explore the Asian market. In this way, his company has become a veritable computer kingdom with world influence. The boldness and decisiveness in Wang An's character have been fully applied and proved in the commercial competition. 1984, Wang An became the first Asian scientist to enter the American Hall of Fame. As an Asian, he didn't expect that he would be as famous as Bell who invented the telephone in the United States and Edison who invented the electric light.
However, on the way forward, Wang An failed to get rid of the fate of "prosperity and decline". With the development of his career, his sense of exploration and innovation gradually became dull, and he began to become complacent and slow in judgment. In the middle and late 1980s, when IBM and other companies grasped the trend of the times and began to develop cheaper and more powerful personal computers, Wang still insisted on the idea of focusing on medium-sized computers and industrial development, which hindered the financial resources of enterprises. Under the new situation, in order to meet the requirements of customers, many computer companies have introduced personal computers compatible with IBM products, thus greatly facilitating the vast number of customers. Facing this brand-new field, Wang An has long insisted on producing computers that are incompatible with IBM products. The competition between companies has evolved into an emotional antipathy in interpersonal communication, which has aroused customers' antipathy only in the image of the company, leading to a great decrease in the number of company customers. At this time, Wang also violated the management mode created by himself, ignored the advice of others, and appointed Wang Feide, a son with low management quality and headstrong, as the president of the company, which led to the rapid expansion of a series of affiliated family businesses ... The introduction of such unpopular measures and endless failures alienated him from others. For a time, there were many contradictions within the company, and a large number of talents were lost. The enthusiasm for innovation of those who barely stayed gradually cooled down and they could not escape the fate of bankruptcy.
The process of the emergence, development, growth, decline and closure of Wang An Computer Company fully shows that for some people, failure means the end. For persistent people, failure is the starting point of success. Babe Ruth, a softball player, failed to hit the ball more times than running home plate, but he was remembered for running home plate. The British suffered heavy losses in Dunkirk, but they continued to fight until they won. Abraham lincoln failed in business, failed to run for Congress more than once, was abandoned by his beloved, suffered from schizophrenia, tried to enter the Senate twice but failed, and was defeated in the vice presidential election. But it was this abraham lincoln who was finally elected president of the United States on 1860, and became one of the best presidents of the United States because of his outstanding performance during his tenure.
The crisis of entrepreneurship and the crisis of entrepreneurship.
On the way forward, crises are always accompanied. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If there is not enough sense of urgency, a temporary success may only lead to greater failure. As the saying goes: "It is difficult to start a business, and it is even harder to keep it." People are always complacent in the face of their own success and lose their due vigilance. When you think you have made great achievements, you may not be far from a fiasco. It is for this reason that joy begets sorrow and happiness interacts with misfortune. Temporary success is often like a dazzling flower, but you can't see failure. The sword of Damocles is hanging over your head. Life is like this, and the most prosperous places are often the most desolate.
There used to be a world-famous computer company. In the mid-1980s, it had branches in 65,438+003 countries, with 30,000 employees and a total turnover of $2.35 billion. However, on August 1990, the company named Wang An applied to the court for bankruptcy protection and declared bankruptcy. The success or failure of Wang An Company is meaningful and thought-provoking.
Wang An 1945 graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University and went to the United States for further study in the same year. 1948 received a doctorate in physics. 195 1 year, he sold the patent right of "magnetic memory circle" invented by himself and got a large sum of money. This is the financial basis of his business. Since then, he gradually used his labor income to open a laboratory in the southern suburbs of Boston and began to manufacture computer equipment for office use. This idea just responded to the market demand at that time. In less than a year, this small startup company made a profit of $65,438+05,000, which laid a solid foundation for future development. /kloc-founded Wang An Computer Co., Ltd. in 0/955. In the daily operation, he resisted the fierce market competition with a leisurely attitude and the principle of moderate development, which pointed out the correct direction for the company's development. By the mid-1960s, the annual sales of Wang An Computer Co., Ltd. had exceeded one million yuan. In the computer industry, Wang An Computer Co., Ltd. gradually ascended to elegance from a poor man in Shan Ye. Wang An is slow and steady, slow and steady. At the same time, his thoughts are by no means conservative. He dares to constantly introduce new products. The frequent appearance of the first computer typesetting machine, the first electronic scoring device, the first equation writing calculator and the radio typing computer gave him an advantage in the fierce market competition. He dares to have a dialectical relationship with his career. In the process of starting a business, people maintain high morale and extremely cautious work style. It is under the influence of the spirit of business leaders that they can often plan ahead for the storms in business operations. However, after the initial success, many people obviously relaxed their vigilance and began to pursue luxury and personal enjoyment. They no longer regard enterprising as their career pursuit as before, but take it as a witness of their glorious past. At this rate, there is no reason why the career should not go downhill! As a lofty ideal, the pursuit of career should be as always, never satisfied.
Moreover, at some extreme times, because some pursuits and goals in life have reached a certain level, some people have no higher ideals, do not pay attention to exercising themselves and transforming themselves, and have the idea of arriving at the station by boat, which gradually breeds the tendency of hedonism. The failure of the immune system of self-thought will often make people covet enjoyment and extravagance, indulge in debauchery and debauchery, thus leading to serious career setbacks. The scene that appears at this time will be the biggest failure in life.
