A successful life is a life of hard work, a life without regrets, a life with clear goals and fighting for them, and a life that will seize opportunities. Harvard University has made a scientific and systematic investigation and verification of success in life, and holds that success in life must have three elements: one is macro-management ability, the other is practical operation ability, and the third is interpersonal communication ability. The first two only account for 15-20%, and the latter accounts for 80-85%. This is strikingly similar to the formula of an investigation experiment conducted by China and Tsinghua University: success = 15% knowledge and skills +85% interpersonal relationship. The interpersonal relationship here does not mean the usual vulgar worldly wisdom, but the ability to control life, adjust life and solve contradictions.

Everyone wants to succeed, but they often think that success is out of reach. In fact, a successful life starts from bit by bit, and success is very close to us. If you want to succeed step by step, you must start from now and achieve the "five skills", that is, you can laugh, listen, speak, do and think. As long as you want to succeed, as long as you work hard, as long as you succeed a little every day, a successful life will be closer and closer to you!

1784, five years before Washington became president of the United States, he was just 52 years old and almost lost his tooth. He asked the dentist to implant nine teeth in his mouth, and all nine teeth were actually pulled out from the mouths of his slaves. This is what historians have just discovered in archaeology. Washington, the hero who once liberated slaves, suddenly slipped into our hearts, and we seemed to see the stain on the holy robe. But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising to put yourself in the social background at that time. Yes, we regard a person as a saint because we don't know him well enough, so we can only look at him from a distance, paint him with various colors in our hearts, and then lower our heads to increase his height. In this sense, we should thank Washington for its imperfection.

An enterprise with an average annual growth rate of 8 1.6% in 16 and an annual sales income of more than 40 billion yuan is well-known not only at home but also abroad, and it is worth our deep thinking. According to Zhang Ruimin, their strategy of marching into China is simple: winner takes all. Their goal is not to leave you any market or territory. Needless to say, many of our enterprises, not to mention small and weak enterprises, are outstanding people like Haier. Compared with the world's top 500 companies, there is still a gap, and we dare not relax and slack off. Realistically face up to the seriousness of the challenge, fully estimate the strength and difficulties of competitors, think about the worst and work hard for the best, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The lady was stunned by the behavior of China's children, and then shed tears of excitement. She said: "I have done this experiment several times in other countries. Those children all want to pull it out. As a result, no one could come out of the bottle, and they all drowned in the bottle. China's children are amazing! "

People who know how to care about others are respected by the world. Once upon a time, a Canadian scientist accidentally moved two pieces of uranium while doing an experiment, and the two pieces of uranium collided. If these two pieces of uranium touch, their power is equivalent to the explosion of a small atomic bomb. At this critical moment, scientists personally broke two pieces of uranium. A crisis passed, but the scientist also suffered too much radiation and died unfortunately. In recognition of his great spirit of fraternity, the government awarded him the title of "the man who separated the atomic bomb by himself". With his great love, he selflessly cares for others and all mankind, and he has won people's eternal admiration and admiration for him.

14, the enlightenment of ants

Ants give us a lot of inspiration-unity is strength, never lose heart and so on. Here I will also tell a story about ants: two ants want to look for food on the other side of the wall, and an ant climbs up the wall, just halfway up and falls down, and so on several times. Seeing this, another ant bypassed the wall and walked to the other side. When the first ant climbed over the wall, the ant had finished eating. The first ant lost his food with the virtue of never being discouraged and never giving up. This kind of thing happens not only in the simple ant country, but also in our developed human society: some writers blindly sum up their successful experiences, and as a result, their future works are the same as their previous works, with no innovation or novelty. Isn't this a kind of sad? It can be said that giving up is a new breakthrough and a prerequisite for surpassing oneself. Giving up lightly is a weak person, not giving up is a fool, and knowing how to give up is a wise person.

15, Nokia's success

Enterprises in the business world are like people in society. In its life journey, there are many temptations and it is easy to go astray. What is commendable is that once the world famous brand enterprises find their own point, they can not only resist the temptation, but also dare to give up everything else in order to concentrate all their efforts on this point. The most typical example is Nokia. 1990, Nokia was on the verge of bankruptcy because of its extensive industrial fields. Later, the boss decided to focus on only one thing-mobile phones and give up all other industries (including selling a pharmaceutical factory with an annual profit of 8 million US dollars). Five years later, it made a comeback.

Mr. Wang is very strange Think carefully, it turns out that every time Master Mei sings this sentence, his face is outward and his gesture is outward. On this day, as he sang, he turned his face to Lao Dan, who was sitting in the center of the stage. There was no color. At dinner, Mr. Wang spoke frankly. The next day, Master Mei changed her mind and won a full house. Teacher Mei treats people sincerely and encourages each other. During the performance, if a fellow actor accidentally makes some mistakes, he never loses his temper or admonishes others. It's about saving the scene like putting out a fire, trying to make a comeback and taking care of him after stepping down. 1952 During the performance of Longfeng Chengxiang in Qingdao, the actor dressed as a little eunuch shared the stage with Master Mei for the first time. He was so nervous that he blurted out that he called unmarried Sun Shangxiang the "queen", which caused harmony. Master Mei gently comforted him: "Don't be sad! Next time you play the little eunuch, you won't pronounce it wrong! "

I went to Australia a few years ago. When visiting the natural landscape of "Pocket Penguins Going Home", the administrator has repeatedly stressed in advance that in order not to affect the living habits of the little penguins at night, don't use flash when taking pictures. It happened that someone poked his head out and the flash flashed to grab the camera.

Suddenly, the crowd became angry. I can't understand what they are saying. I saw a tourist coming, his eyes wide open and his face red, gesturing and saying, please take the flashlight away from the unconscious person. Suddenly, the man with the "flash" was disheartened and quickly put away the camera. A healthy and good environment needs people to come out and maintain, and this kind of strong moral pressure from the people is exactly what we lack.
