Chapter 29 Success, starting from careful consideration 5
Fools lament, wise men change

A fool should not be reckless, but a gentleman should not be cowardly.If self-confidence can add power to a foolish and simple person, then it is like adding wings to a tiger with courage and strategy.

Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Appropriately displaying one's talents and advantages is a way for people to promote themselves, and it is also the beginning of success in life.

Stupid people must not act impulsively, because they will often expose their flaws, while brave and resourceful people should know how to highlight their talents without showing them too much, so that their abilities can become the wings of their career development Climb yourself into the clouds of achievement.

The ancients often said: "Fools lament, wise men change." The reason why many people claim to be underappreciated is not caused by others, but because they did not give themselves a chance to stand out.It is indeed difficult for a thousand-mile horse to meet Bole, but it does not mean that there is no such thing. Maybe we have met Bole several times in our lives, but firstly, we did not know ourselves at that time, so we turned a blind eye to Bole who can discover ourselves; So high that people squeezed out and missed the opportunity to interact with Bole; thirdly, maybe some of us are not Maxima at all, but they are always self-righteous and feel good about themselves.

If the misfortune is the third kind of person, the only thing that can save him is his own sobriety.If it is the first two types of people, what we lack is the courage to promote ourselves.There are many opportunities in life that you have to fight for by yourself. If you have the ability, you should volunteer to fight for jobs that many people are not qualified for. Self-recommendation just shows your existence, and the chances of success will be greatly increased.

There is a large company recruiting talents, and applicants gather.After three rounds of elimination, there are still 11 applicants, and the company will eventually retain 6 people.Therefore, during the fourth round of interviews, the president of the company decided to do it himself.However, there were 12 candidates at the interview site at this time.

The president asked: "Who is not an applicant?"

The man sitting in the last row stood up suddenly: "Sir, I was eliminated in the first round, but I want to participate in the interview."

Everyone present laughed, including the old man standing at the door and watching.The president asked with interest: "You can't even pass the first test, so what's the point of coming here?"

The man said: "I have mastered a lot of wealth, and I myself am the wealth." Everyone laughed happily again, thinking that this man was either too arrogant or mentally ill.The man continued: "I only have a bachelor's degree and an intermediate title, but I have 11 years of work experience and have worked in 18 companies..."

The president interrupted him: "You don't have a high degree of education or professional title. It's good to have worked for 11 years, but it's surprising that you have changed jobs to 18 companies. I don't appreciate it."

The man said: "Sir, I didn't change jobs, but those 18 companies closed down one after another." The people present laughed for the third time.One candidate said: "You are really unlucky!" The man also laughed: "On the contrary, I think it is my wealth! I am not unlucky, I am only 31 years old."

At this time, the old man standing at the door came in and poured tea for the president.The man continued: "I know those 18 companies very well. I worked hard with everyone to save those companies. Although I was unsuccessful, I learned a lot from the mistakes and failures of those companies. Many people just pursue successful experiences, and I , have more experience in avoiding mistakes and failures!"

The man left his seat, turned around and said: "I know very well that the experiences of success are mostly similar, but the reasons for failure are different. Instead of spending 11 years learning the experience of success, it is better to spend the same time studying mistakes and failures; others succeed It is difficult for our experience to become our wealth, but the failure process of others is!"

The man was about to go out, and suddenly turned around and said: "The 11 companies I have experienced in the past 18 years have cultivated and tempered my insight into people, things, and the future. For example, the real examiner is not you, It's this old man pouring tea."

The 11 candidates in the audience were in an uproar, staring at the old man pouring tea in astonishment.The old man smiled: "Very good! You were the first to be admitted."

The man's job interview was full of twists and turns, and he had no chance of getting a job, but he got the job through self-recommendation.If the man had turned away in the first place, he would never have gotten the job.

Although self-recommendation is not everyone's favorite, if you have real strength and want others to accept and reuse you, you must show confidence and try your best to sell yourself.Self-recommendation is a kind of talent, just like the ability of painting. You are only one of the crowd, but you have the confidence and courage that others do not have. This talent has already made your heart invincible at this moment. up.The next thing you have to do is to make your own abilities invincible.
