Damn diligence
Rutherford, the founder of modern atomic physics, highly praised thinking. Late one night, he happened to find a student still immersed in an experiment, so he asked curiously, "What were you doing this morning?" The student replied, "I'm doing an experiment." Rutherford frowned and continued to ask, "What about that night?" "I am also doing experiments." Diligent students thought they could get some praise from their tutors, but Rutherford was furious and scolded sharply: "You do experiments all day. When do you take the time to think? "
Diligent students are reprimanded, seemingly wronged, but in fact the master is spreading the true scriptures. Many times, people would rather let the years drown in the seemingly valuable busyness, but they are extremely unwilling to take the time to think, so that their thinking lingers at a low level and eventually gets nothing. If wisdom is the source of creation, then thinking is the starting point of wisdom.
Always be a diligent person.
In America, there is a man who does almost the same thing every day of the year: at dawn, he leans over his typewriter and starts writing for the day. This man's name is Stephen? Jin is an internationally famous novel master.
Stephen? Kim's experience is very difficult. He was too poor to pay the telephone bill, so the telephone company cut off his telephone line. Later, he became a world-famous master of horror novels. He keeps writing appointments all day, and often a novel is still stored in his mind, so the publishing house pays him a high deposit. Today, he is a world millionaire, but he still works hard.
Stephen? The secret of gold is very simple, with only two words: diligence. There are only three days in a year. He is an exception and doesn't write. These three days are: birthday, Christmas, American independence day (National Day). Diligence brings him endless inspiration. Ji Xianlin, an academic master, once said, "Diligence inspires people."
One plus one can be greater than two.
A Jew taught his son, "Our only wealth is wisdom. When others say 1 plus 1 equals 2, you should think of it as greater than 2. "
In document 1974, the US government publicly invited tenders to clean up a large amount of waste generated by the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. But after a few months, no one should bid, because in New York State, there are strict regulations on garbage disposal, and it may be sued by environmental organizations.
The son of the Jew was traveling in France. When he heard the news, he immediately terminated his vacation and flew to new york. After seeing the mountains of copper blocks, screws and wood under the Statue of Liberty, he immediately signed an agreement with the government department without saying anything.
After the news spread, many transportation companies in new york were snickering, and many of his colleagues also thought that waste recycling was thankless, and the value of the resources that could be recycled was really limited, which was really stupid.
While these people are watching jokes, he has begun to organize workers to sort garbage. He melted the scrap copper and cast it into the little Statue of Liberty, while the old wood was processed into the base, and the scrap copper and aluminum were made into the key to new york Square. He even packed all the dust cleaned from the Statue of Liberty and sold it to a flower shop. These scrap copper, scrap iron, scraps and dust are sold at a price several times or even dozens of times higher than the original value, which is in short supply. In less than three months, he turned this pile of waste into $3.5 million, and the price of copper per pound increased by 654.38+00000 times.
There will never be an equation in a commercialized society. When you complain that business is difficult to do, maybe someone is panting while counting money. The secret is that you think 1 plus 1 is equal to 2, but he insists that 1 plus 1 can be greater than 2.
Excerpts from argumentative materials
Wal-Mart: No diploma.
Wal-Mart, the American retail empire, ranks first among the top 500 companies in the world and is recognized by the management as one of the companies with the most cultural characteristics. Fortune magazine commented that it "won the loyalty and enthusiasm of employees by spending a lot of money on training and upgrading internal employees." 60% of managers start from small jobs. "At Wal-Mart, many employees don't have college degrees. Having an MBA degree may not win the appreciation of executives unless you prove your strength through your own efforts and excellent work performance. But this does not mean that the company does not attach importance to the quality of employees. On the contrary, the company encourages employees to be proactive in all aspects and provides training and promotion opportunities for everyone who wants to improve themselves. In general retail companies, people without more than 10 years of work experience will not be considered for promotion to manager at all. At Wal-Mart, after six months' training, if they perform well and have the potential to manage employees and merchandise sales, the company will give them a chance to try their hand. Be an assistant manager first, or help open a new store. If you do well, you will have the opportunity to manage a branch. So today, the vast majority of Wal-Mart managers are born in the company's management training program, and they are all promoted from within the company.
Sony: Not superstitious about experts.
In recent years, Sony Corporation of Japan has adopted the "three noes" policy of "don't ask, don't tell, don't write" when recruiting college students. The company believes that in the fierce competition and changing times, enterprises need all kinds of talents. Only by bringing all kinds of people together can we give full play to our creativity and develop new products. Recruiting talents only in a few prestigious schools will make enterprises lose their vitality. Masaru Ibuka, one of Sony's founders, said: "I never trust experts. Experts tend to argue why you don't do or can't do something, while we tend to emphasize doing things from scratch. " So Sony likes people who are sharp-minded, unconventional and brave in exploring and innovating. They encourage scientific and technological talents to "jump ship", find new jobs in any department of the company, and "volunteer" to participate in project development and research. The company believes that such people are open-minded, active in thinking, with wide interests, creative consciousness and innovative spirit. He is a doer, not an empty talker. He has a promising future and should be reused.
Success is just 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, very 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. Both the king of a country and the people at the grass-roots level are doing what they should do. Therefore, she carefully cleans up the dust and garbage in the red wall every day, and at the same time cleans up the depression and confusion scattered in her heart.
