Believe in yourself and you will succeed in the end.

Hua is a famous mathematician in China. However, when he was in primary school, his academic performance was not good. Therefore, the primary school did not get the diploma, but only got the study certificate. In the first grade of junior high school, he passed a make-up exam in math class, so his classmates laughed at him and called him a "loser". Hua was not discouraged by the ridicule of his classmates. He secretly made up his mind that he must learn math well. Moreover, he always believed that he could learn math well. When confidence is established, it will produce infinite power. Knowing that he is not smarter than others, he uses the method of "diligence can make up for the shortcomings": when others study for an hour, he studies for two hours. Finally, he became a famous mathematician in China.

Modern society is a society of fair competition. On the one hand, it provides everyone with equal opportunities for success, and at the same time, it unceremoniously asks everyone to pay the price for its success.

How can a person who lacks self-confidence and is not sure about himself be successful? On the contrary, a confident person, because he is sure of his existence, believes that he will succeed and dares to challenge failure, naturally has more hopes and possibilities for success than a person who lacks confidence.

Iacocca turned defeat into victory.

Success can only be achieved by overcoming setbacks.

Iacocca got his master's degree from Princeton University and entered the Ford Motor Company, where he served as the general manager of the affairs department from 65438 to 0960. 1964, he launched the popular "Mustang", creating an unprecedented sales record. 1970, he ascended the throne of President of Ford Motor Company. Just as his career was booming, he was suspected by Ford II, the chairman of the company, and was killed overnight and fell into the abyss. However, Iacocca did not collapse. He accepted another challenge. From 65438 to 0978, he was invited to be the president of Chrysler Automobile Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and heavily in debt, and soon became the chairman.

At the critical moment of the company's life and death, Iacocca made great efforts to innovate and took the initiative to reduce his annual salary of nearly one million dollars in Ford to a symbolic dollar. This amazing move greatly boosted Chrysler's morale. Iacocca once again attacked the automobile market, launched convertible and mini-van, and Chrysler finally came back to life and turned defeat into victory. By 1984, the company's surplus record exceeded the total surplus from its establishment to the end of 1983, becoming the third largest automobile company in the United States, and Iacocca became a hero of American enterprises.

Pasteur was not satisfied.

Don't stop at a successful career.

He invented highly toxic bacteria liquid and saved a large number of sheep, horses, cows, pigs and chickens. This is called "amazing success". The French government decided to award Pasteur the highest medal of honor. Dissatisfied, Pasteur began to conquer rabies again, and finally he achieved "amazing success". "Don't miss your successful career" is a vivid portrayal of Pasteur.

The courage of Carlo Downes.

Courage paves the way for success

Carlo Downes used to work in a bank, but he thought that staying in the bank could not give full play to his talents, so he came to the world-famous Durant Company.

After working in the new working environment for six months, Downes wanted to know Durant's evaluation of his work, so he wrote a letter to Durant, in which he asked an important question: "Can I do more important work in a more important position?" Durant gave instructions: "You are now appointed to be responsible for the machine installation of the new factory, but there is no guarantee of promotion and salary increase." Downes accepted. But he only has a construction drawing given by Durant, and he has not received any training in this field. In the face of so many completely unfamiliar difficulties, and to complete the task in a short time, Downes knew in his heart that the golden opportunity was just around the corner. If he gives in, he may never have a chance to support him again. He adjusted his mentality, carefully studied the drawings, and found relevant personnel to analyze and negotiate, and finally completed the task given to him by the company one week in advance.

When Downes reported to Durant, he was surprised to find that the door next to Durant's office read: "General Manager Carlo Downes". Durant told him that he is now the general manager of the company, and his annual salary is to add a "0" to the original annual salary. Durant said, "When I gave you those drawings, I knew you couldn't read them, but I wanted to see how you handled them. As a result, I found that you are a leader. It's not easy for you to ask me directly for a higher salary and position. I especially appreciate this, because opportunities always favor those who can summon up the courage to take the initiative. "

Some things, many people don't want to do, just because they take it for granted that it is difficult. In fact, more difficulties are just entrenched in people's imagination. As long as you have the courage to take the initiative to try, you may soon be able to remove the obstacles you imagined and pave the way to success.

Ceng Gong is not surprised by success or failure.

(Success requires hard work)

When Ceng Gong was young, he took part in the imperial examinations many times, but none of them got in. One day, while Ceng Gong and his brothers were reading, suddenly someone handed a note outside. Said it was removed from the outer wall. Ceng Gong smiled and gave it to big brother Zeng Ye.

" It turned out that Ceng Gong and Zeng Ye failed the exam many times. Ceng Gong paced back and forth on the ground, full of thoughts. He told his brother calmly, "This note is a whip to spur us." Since then, the two brothers have got up every day to study at the crow. They stayed at home for two years and studied tirelessly. Many things happen. Three years later, both brothers passed the exam. It is a rare story in the history of imperial examination to take the provincial capital examination and pass all the examinations quickly.

Andersen's motives

Frustration is the prelude to success.

Andersen is a world-famous Danish fairy tale writer. He was born in a shoemaker's family, lost his father at an early age, lived in poverty, worked as an apprentice and did theater chores. However, he loves literature. He experienced and observed life in ordinary labor and wrote a series of popular fairy tales.

However, Andersen's career and love journey were not smooth sailing. As soon as his first novel came out, some people knew that he was the shoemaker's son and attacked his works for being incoherent, ignorant of grammar and rhetoric. In love, Andersen also experienced many twists and turns. He has been in love several times in his life, but in the end it didn't work out for various reasons. He has always been alone. Andersen suffered many setbacks in his career and love, and life was cruel to him. However, he was not discouraged. He rose from setbacks, fought for fairy tales, devoted himself to writing and never stopped writing. Among more than 160 fairy tales written in his life, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Match Girl and The Ugly Duckling are enduring.

Darwin's ideal

Doing what you like is half the battle.

Darwin's father is a famous doctor. He hoped that his son would succeed in his career and become a doctor, but Darwin had no intention of studying medicine. After entering the medical university, he collected animal and plant specimens all day. His father was helpless and sent him to a seminary, hoping that he would become a priest in the future. However, Darwin's interest was not in priests. Darwin had his own ideals. At the age of 9, he said to his father, "I think there must be many mysteries in the world that have not been discovered by people." In the future, I will travel around the world and make field trips. " To this end, Darwin has been actively preparing.

In order to help him observe and collect animal and plant specimens, Darwin gave up his leisurely and well-paid job as a priest, bid farewell to his rich family life, and resolutely set foot on the battleship Beagle to travel around the world at his own expense. Darwin made a lot of observations and collections on animals, plants and geology, and did experiments for nearly twenty years after returning to China. Finally, in 1859, he published The Origin of Species, which shocked the academic circles at that time. In the book, he put forward the theory of evolution based on natural selection, which not only explained that species are changeable, but also correctly explained their adaptability to organisms, thus destroying creationism, teleology and species invariance. This theory is one of the three major discoveries of natural science in the19th century.

Darwin once said: "As far as I can recall my personality at school, what has a good influence on me later is that I have all kinds of strong interests and love what I am very interested in." From Darwin's example, we can find that if you have a strong interest in something, it is easier to succeed.

Hines' revelation

The door to success is unlocked.

1968, on the 100-meter runway of the Mexican Olympic Games, American Ji Haines turned to look at the scoreboard on the sports field after hitting the line. When the indicator light showed 9.95, Hynes spread out his hands and talked to himself. At least hundreds of millions of people saw it on TV, but no one knew what he said because he didn't have a microphone with him at that time.

1984, on the eve of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, a reporter named David Parr played back Olympic materials in his office and suddenly became interested in this place. He thought that this was the first time in human history to break through the 10 second mark on the 100-meter runway. When Hynes saw the record, he must have conveyed the extraordinary words of God to mankind. It's a pity that this news point was missed by so many reporters.

He found Hynes, who was confused and even denied speaking at that time. David said, you did speak, as evidenced by the video. After watching the video tape brought by David, Hynes said with a smile, didn't you hear it? I said, Oh, my God! The door is unlocked.

Hynes went on to explain that because Owens created the achievement of 10.3 second (1936 Berlin Olympic Games), the medical profession represented by Dr. James Gladson asserted that the movement limit carried by human muscle fibers would not exceed 10 meter per second. This statement has been popular in track and field for 30 years, and I thought it was true, but I think I should run 10.438+0 seconds. So I run 50 kilometers at the fastest speed every day. Because I know that the 100-meter champion didn't practice on the 100-meter track. I was shocked when I saw my own record of 9.95 seconds at the Mexico Olympic Games. It turns out that the door of 10 second is unlocked, but it is left unlocked, just like the horizontal rope at the end.

The first black governor of new york

(firm belief promotes success)

Roger rawls is the first black governor in the history of new york. He was born in the notorious Dashatou slum in new york. Children born here rarely have decent jobs when they grow up. Roger rawls is an exception. At his inaugural press conference, he didn't mention his struggle history at all, but only mentioned one name-Pierre Paul. Later, people knew that Pierre Paul was a principal of his primary school.

196 1 year, Pierre Paul served as the director and principal of Daxiong Primary School. At that time, hippies were in vogue in America. When he entered Daxiong Primary School in Dashatou, he found that the poor children here were more idle than the "lost generation". They skipped classes, fought, and even smashed the blackboard in the classroom. When Rawls jumped down from the windowsill and reached for the podium, Pierre Paul said, I can see from your slender little finger that you will be the governor of New York in the future. Rawls was surprised at that time, because he was so big, only his grandmother encouraged him once, saying that he could be the captain of a 5-ton ship. This time, Mr. Pierre Paul said that he could become the governor of New York. To his surprise, he wrote this sentence and believed it. From that day on, the governor of New York was like a flag. His clothes are no longer covered with mud and his speech is no longer mixed with foul language. He began to become upright and became the monitor. In the next 40 years, there was not a day when he didn't ask himself to be governor. At the age of 5 1, he really became governor.

In his inaugural speech, he said: "In this world, faith is something that anyone can get for free. All successful people start with a small faith."

Jim Carrey's success

(Success requires unremitting efforts)

When Jim Carrey was a teenager, she made up her mind to become a comedy star. So he looks in the mirror every day and makes those strange expressions.

If you have seen Jim Carrey's movies, you will be curious to say, how can his mouth open so wide? How could his face be crooked like that? In fact, it is the result of his 15 years of continuous practice. I remember that Stephen Chow, our Asian comedy superstar, also worships Jim Carrey very much and often imitates Jim Carrey. Every successful person has a successful example.

Cleaners in the Kremlin

(Success is a state of mind)

There used to be a conscientious old cleaner in the Kremlin. She said: "My job is similar to Yeltsin's. Yeltsin is cleaning up Russia and I am cleaning up the Kremlin. Everyone is doing their own thing. " How relaxed and happy she spoke, touching and thought-provoking.

The old cleaner in the Kremlin is a common people with low status in front of dignitaries, but she does not feel inferior. She also humorously compares her work with that of the president, which shows that she is open-minded. From her, we can realize that success is just a state of mind. Mentality determines life. As one treats success, success will treat you. And it's still you who control your own destiny. As long as you think you have achieved success, then success will accompany you.
