Whether success or failure is not eternal, it is possible to change each other because of some changes. A loser may succeed because of an opportunity, and a successful person may face failure because of some accidents. If you succeed, you naturally don't want to experience failure again. The way to avoid failure as much as possible is to keep a modest attitude and always pay attention to learning from others instead of staying in the joy of success. In the last century, a poor boy suddenly became the richest man in Shanghai. He was carried away by his arrogance. He even threatened to surpass Li Ka-shing, but he was jailed twice and became a joke.
His name is Zhou Zhengyi, a poor boy born in Shanghai. Because of his poor family, Zhou Zhengyi didn't go to school for a few days since he was a child, and has been living at home since he dropped out of primary school. Until he 17 years old, his parents didn't like Zhou Zhengyi to stay at home and study hard, so they kicked him out and let him work and live outside.
Zhou Zhengyi, who ran away from home, partnered with his friends to open a disorderly shop and became a self-employed boss. After the opening of Chaos Store failed, he opened his own department store. In short, he keeps opening stores and selling goods. Although each store can't open for a long time, it still makes money on the whole.
If this trend continues, Zhou Zhengyi will probably have some money in the end, but he is not rich. But opportunities sometimes come too suddenly. In the early 1990s, just in time for the listing and circulation of state-owned employee stocks, Zhou Zhengyi invested all his savings and made a lot of money. A few years later, the Asian financial turmoil appeared, and most of Hong Kong's stock markets were depressed. Zhou Zhengyi took this opportunity to buy a lot of stocks. After only a few months of losses, the stock market rebounded rapidly, and Zhou Zhengyi instantly became the richest man in Shanghai, making a name for himself.
By investing in stocks and buying real estate, the poor boy became the richest man in Shanghai. If he can develop steadily, then the title of the richest man in Shanghai should not be taken away for decades. But he spoke wildly and threatened to surpass Li Ka-shing. He neglected a very important point, that is, Li Ka-shing made his fortune by doing practical things diligently and with a solid foundation. But he was able to make a fortune in a short time, relying on venture capital, and the foundation has not been firmly established. It means that he has failed.
The Shanghai rich man began to fantasize about the name of Asia's richest man and repeatedly touched the legal red line in the securities market. He thought he had done a perfect job, but in fact he had attracted the attention of the police. He has his own ambitions, but he has become a laughing stock in prison twice, and he has become a prisoner from a rich man, which makes people feel very emotional. It was because of his arrogance that he finally fell to the bottom of the abyss. We should keep a modest attitude in our daily life, so that we can grow.
