Five examples of persistence and success

Persistence does not necessarily lead to success; But if you don't persist, you are doomed to failure. If you want to succeed, persistence is essential! The following is an example of persistence and success that I share with you. I hope you can feel something after reading it!

Examples of lasting success 1:

In 2007, the most popular series "Apprentice" in the United States was called "the textbook of survival skills for office workers". I have stolen things from it many times, but I am often puzzled, puzzled, surprised and even shocked by its many professional codes.

The first hero of the story is an extremely successful business tycoon, and almost all American business elites want to be his apprentice. So he set a series of propositions for the prospective disciples, divided them into two groups to compete, and eliminated the losers one by one in the process of competition, thus selecting the final successor.

After each round, the leader of the losing side will choose two people who should bear the fault to enter the big classroom with him, and the think tank headed by the tycoon will decide who will be eliminated in this round.

The fifth round of competition, the topic is "buying and selling"? Both competitors use the seed money in their hands to purchase goods and then sell them. The balance of payments on this day is the only criterion for winning or losing.

Beautiful Christine is the leader of this round of losers. She made a series of mistakes during the competition: trusting the opinions of the team members too much, letting them shop separately, and lacking the courage that leaders should have; Choosing an unfavorable sales venue, team members are still hesitant after proposing it, and can't make a decision to move in time; After that, I didn't check with the financial personnel face to face. As a result, 80 yuan disappeared, but we can't explain when and where it was lost.

At the negligence review meeting, almost all the players pointed the finger at Christine and thought that she was the one who should be eliminated most. Christine seems to think so, too But according to the rules of the game, she still has to choose two people who have common faults with herself and face the final question of the think tank at the same time. She chose the shopkeeper who lost 80 yuan. With another woman who keeps complaining.

They sat at the big table together. In other words, they are also threatened with dismissal. This is the final judgment. The accountant refused to admit that she was responsible for losing the money. She said it was all the team leader's fault because she didn't ask for an audit at that time. The talkative woman spared no effort to attack her captain, saying that she made every wrong decision and completely ignored her own opinions; Christine, on the other hand, has been silent, bearing the fierce and sharp accusations from her teammates with silence.

The tycoon said to his colleagues in the think tank with regret: "It's a pity that Christine has always been a well-deserved star in previous competitions. She is very outstanding. She is a good soldier. But not a good leader. But she has great potential, good potential. "

Discussions are still going on.

While watching TV, I made my own comments. During the competition, I always thought that Christine should be eliminated in this round, because she did make many mistakes in leadership decision-making. But when they entered the big classroom, I changed my mind and thought she should stay? Because she was so silent, she frankly admitted her mistake. No prevarication, no argument. In my opinion, being able to face up to your mistakes without blaming your subordinates is the grace and virtue that a leader should have. Moreover, the focus of competition assessment is ability and quality, and whether you are competent as a leader is not the only judgment. As the tycoon said: Christine has great potential: therefore, I think she should stay. That irresponsible cashier and talkative woman should be fired.

However, how surprising the result is. The tycoon made the final closing statement: "Christine, I'm surprised you didn't make any excuses for yourself in the whole process." I saw that they have been fighting for their lives and fighting tirelessly. I don't see your fighting spirit. You suddenly lost your fighting spirit, you didn't have the strength to fight back, you didn't defend yourself at all. You gave up the right to defend yourself, you gave up your own point of view, so we have to give up you. You're fired. "

Christine and I froze.

Not fighting back means giving up, which is an angle I have never considered. I have always believed that people should face their mistakes. What should be done is to encourage change. We should be brave enough to take mistakes, and we should talk less and do more. It turned out to be wrong! People, of course, should see clearly their own gains and losses, but people should know how to protect themselves and hold their positions. Otherwise, you will lose!

Example 2: Persistence will lead to success;

Copernicus's main contribution is to establish a scientific Heliocentrism, and to write the Declaration of Independence of Natural Science and the Theory of Celestial Movement. 1535, Copernicus completed the six-volume scientific masterpiece "On the Operation of Celestial Bodies" in "49". Heliocentrism, the theory of the structure of the sun, is put forward completely: the sun is stationary in the center of the universe, while the planets including the earth revolve around it. Mercury is closest to the sun, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Only the moon goes around the earth. The star is still on the celestial sphere far from the sun.

Copernicus gave the sun the dominant power to control the whole universe, and all celestial bodies had their own natural movements. Heliocentrism of Copernicus scientifically expounded the viewpoint of celestial movement, overthrew the geocentric theory of ptolemaic system, who ruled for more than a thousand years, and fundamentally denied the fallacy that God created everything and the earth was motionless.

Copernicus was afraid of being ruled by the church and being opposed and persecuted, so he was unwilling to publish the theory of celestial bodies. 1543 On May 24th, Copernicus saw the newly published sample book "On the Operation of Celestial Bodies" on his deathbed.

Although Copernicus's "sun-centered theory" was vilified and attacked by religious forces and conservatives in the society after its publication, even those who believed in propagating this theory were brutally suppressed and persecuted, but Copernicus's theory still won the final victory. Copernicus and his theory of celestial bodies, like twinkling superstars in the dark night sky, shine forever.

Example 3: Persistence will lead to success:

In the list of the world's richest people under 40 published by Fortune magazine in 2003, there are six in China, and Ding Lei, founder of Netease, ranks 14. In this year's Forbes China Rich List, Ding Lei holds 58.5% of Netease's shares (the current market value is about 7.6 billion yuan), ranking first in the Forbes China Rich List in 2003. But Ding Lei still lives a simple life. It is said that his monthly living expenses rarely exceed 4000 yuan.

What kind of person is Ding Lei? Let's discuss the story behind his success. His experience and experience are believed to be a reference and intangible force for many people.

Dare to challenge the era of entrepreneurship.

After graduating from college, Ding Lei returned to his hometown and worked in Ningbo Telecommunication Bureau. The telecommunication bureau pays well after drought and flood, but Ding Lei feels that he has worked very hard in those two years, and at the same time he has a kind of distress. 1995 resigned from the telecommunications bureau, which was strongly opposed by his family, but his mind was made up and he wanted to go out and take a break.

He described his behavior like this: "This is the first time I fired myself. People will always face many opportunities in their life, but opportunities come at a price. Whether you have the courage to take the first step is often a watershed in life. "

He chose Guangzhou. Later, a friend asked him why he went to Guangzhou instead of Beijing and Shanghai. He told a joke: Guangzhou people and Shanghai people are actually the comparison between southerners and northerners. If Guangzhou people and Shanghai people each have 100 yuan in their pockets, and then go to the sea to do business, Shanghai people will use 50 yuan to give writers and another 50 yuan to start a company; Cantonese people will borrow 100 yuan from their classmates to start a company.

When he first arrived in Guangzhou and walked in a strange city, Ding Lei felt the importance of wealth more and more in the face of pedestrians and traffic. The most realistic thing is that you have to spend money on three meals a day, right Can't sleep on the street and become a blind stream? At that time, Ding Lei didn't have much money on him, so he had to save money, because he was determined to break the "iron rice bowl" from the beginning, and now he won't allow himself to rely on his parents' help when he is desperate. At that time, his greatest wish was to find a job, even if he had less money, it was better than wandering.

I don't know how many companies I interviewed and how many words I spent. With my patience and hard work, Ding Lei finally settled in Guangzhou. 1in may, 1995, he entered the foreign company Sebyse.

The first days were hard. Later, a female friend who knew Ding Lei very well said that his exquisite "cooking skills" and playing "guzheng" in the future were, to some extent, proof of "taking pains", and it can also be said that this optimistic and hard-working personality made him the richest man today.

Ding Lei likes to eat Shanghai food, but at that time his income was not high, so he couldn't go to restaurants every day. Moreover, many Shanghai dishes cooked in Guangzhou are not original, so he went to the market to buy food and cook in person. Usually work is very busy, so I use the weekend time to treat myself and be a "drunken chicken" or steamed crucian carp.

After working in Sybase Guangzhou Branch for one year, Ding Lei once again had the idea of leaving there to start an Internet-related company with others. At that time, he had been able to skillfully use the Internet and became one of the earliest Internet users in China.

Leaving Sybase is also an important choice for Ding Lei, because he is going to a pitifully small company that doesn't exist. The only confidence that supports him is that he believes that the future will have an impact on the domestic Internet, and he is full of enthusiasm. At that time, he was doing all the technology of the company except investors. Maybe in 1996, he only has a technical background and lacks enough business experience. Finally, he found that the company deviated from many of his original ideas, and he had to choose to leave again.

1997 in may, Ding Lei decided to set up Netease company. Since then, Ding Lei has become a bright spot in China IT industry. After becoming famous, Ding Lei's demand for money is still the same as when he first came to Guangzhou. He said that if young people spend less money, there may be less temptation, but old people are different. What he is considering now is how to find someone who can be at ease and teach his parents to spend money. Because every time he sends money home, his parents save it for him. They think it is not easy for children to earn money outside, so they can use it when they need it. Up to now, the telephone in my hometown is still cordless, and the kettle for boiling water has not been changed for seven or eight years.

After Netease moved to Beijing, the team building of the company has been greatly improved. There are not too many shareholders pointing fingers at the back, and there are no negative factors brought by historical accumulation or entrepreneurs themselves. The company has developed rapidly. At the meeting of company managers, CEO Ding Lei is often criticized that he didn't do it well, and he didn't do it right. He always accepts with an open mind that "only when someone criticizes can the work be done better".

Example 4: Persistence will lead to success:

Bao Yugang started from an old ship, became the world super ship king with 200 giant ships and 20 million tons in 20 years, and then entered real estate, finance and other industries. Its shipping wealth alone reached11500 million Hong Kong dollars. Gibson Shipping Brokerage Company ranks among the top ten shipping kings in the world with 1977, and Bao Yugang ranks first, thus ranking first in the world.

Bao Yugang dug up the first bucket of gold in the blue ocean. This bucket of gold has been dug very hard, which also shows Bao Yugang's superb skills as the world's super ship king. After he had this wonderful bucket of gold, the "Battle of the Dock" was even more amazing.

Juvenile mo

Lian 19 18 was born in Zhenhai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. Bao Yugang, he is also the 29th grandson of Bao Zheng, the father of China people. The Bao family used to be a scholar and an official, but when his great-grandfather Bao Kuizhi failed repeatedly, he embarked on the road of business that Ningbo people were used to and accumulated a lot of money.

Bao Yugang's father, Bao Zhaolong, inherited his ancestral business, opened a shoe store in Hankou, Hubei Province, and lived in Wuhan all the year round. Later, the Bao Yugang family moved to Hongkong.

From 65438 to 0926, when she was 8 years old, she entered Ye's Zhongguang Primary School, which is the most famous primary school in Ningbo. Every time my father comes home, he will tell something about Wuhan vividly. For a long time, Wuhan, an important town during the Revolution of 1911, and Jiang Hancheng, the residence of the National Government, aroused Bao Yugang's warm yearning. /kloc-When he was 0/0 years old, he discussed with his mother that he could go to Hankou to study and see the world.

Bao Zhaolong wanted his son to study for a few more years, so he sent Bao Yugang to a middle school. When he graduated from junior high school in Bao Yugang, Bao Zhaolong got his son a job as an apprentice in a swallow comb factory. Yan is an institution similar to the current insurance company. The father is bent on bringing his son into the business world as soon as possible.

However, Bao Yugang's ideal at that time was to study, and he had no heart to do business. Bao Yugang is still working part-time, but before he knocked on the door of the university, his mother chose a local girl named Huang Xiuying for him at home. 1937 During the spring and summer, she chose a good day to let Bao Yugang go home and get married.

When Bao Yugang and his wife got married, it was the time when the Japanese launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. During the war, Bao Yugang found a job in the Central Trust Bureau and soon became one of the business backbones.

Bao Yugang has worked in Shanghai, Hengyang, Kunming and Chongqing for 8 years.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Bao Yugang was appointed as the manager of Shanghai Banking Department and came to Shanghai from Chongqing.

From 65438 to 0946, Bao Yugang was promoted to deputy general manager, in charge of the loan department. The loan department is called the sewer of the bank and is the most important part of the banking business. Giving this department to a 28-year-old young man can show that his superiors appreciate him very much.

Regrettably, at this time, the finance of Shanghai and even the whole Kuomintang-controlled area has been blind. Inflation and the devaluation of paper money are getting worse every day.

"When you go to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, you have to pay first, otherwise the price of noodles will double." Some people in Shanghai describe it.

1948, Bao Yugang was fed up with the chaos of the crumbling Kuomintang regime. He resigned resolutely and flew to Hong Kong with his family on March 1949.

After Bao Yugang and his family arrived in Hongkong, they were reunited with their parents, brothers and sisters who had arrived earlier. With the wealth of several hundred thousand yuan sold by my father before he went to Hong Kong, I started a trade business. Trade projects mainly use the Korean War to transport some strategic materials to the mainland.

However, with the signing of the Korean armistice agreement in 1953, the father-son cause is facing new choices. what are you going to do？ My father advocated real estate, because Bao Zhaolong saw that from 1949 to 1952, the population of Hong Kong soared1500,000, and the housing problem was quite prominent. Scenes of several people sleeping in a bed in a family can be seen everywhere, and real estate will definitely make money.

Step into the sea

Bao Yunyu just wanted to invest in the shipping industry in particular, because from a global perspective, after World War II, the world economy is recovering, and the trade between countries and regions is increasing day by day, and the shipping industry is bound to develop greatly. Hong Kong has natural deep-water berths and wharves, and its superior geographical position and preferential conditions for free trade attract ships from all over the world.

With 70 square miles of ports and an annual throughput of 30 million tons, Hong Kong has become one of the busiest ports in the world. Bao Yugang finally saw the opportunity in front of him and started his sailing career.

Bao Yugang's decision aroused opposition. His friends advised him that although shipping can make a lot of money, as the ancients said, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. The sea is unpredictable and extremely dangerous. Many people have been boating for decades, but in the end they end up bankrupt.

"There is an old saying in China, don't do it if you are not familiar with it. What do you know about shipping? How much money do you have to buy a boat for 10 million? " Father stopped him and said.

Of course, not everyone disapproves of shipping in Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang teenager Zheng Weixian's friends understand and support him very much. When Zheng Weixian heard Bao Yugang's idea of joining the shipping industry, he immediately realized that it was a strategic step. He encouraged Bao Yugang to say, "The fundamental difference between an outstanding entrepreneur and a gambler is that he studies hard, is good at thinking, can assess the situation and seize fleeting opportunities at any time."

"Although you haven't been engaged in shipping, you have many advantages that others don't. You have worked in several banks for quite a long time and have rich experience in fund allocation. Even people who engage in shipping may not be as good as you; You have been engaged in import and export trade in recent years. You are familiar with the markets all over the world. You have experienced the ups and downs in the shopping mall. These are all valuable assets for you to switch to shipping. As long as you give play to your advantages, you will succeed. " He said to Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang was greatly encouraged by his friend's words. However, how can an ocean-going freighter afford millions of pounds? Even an old ship costs hundreds of thousands of pounds, equivalent to millions of Hong Kong dollars! Bao Yugang wants to borrow money from the bank, but he doesn't have any assets as collateral, let alone a rich man to guarantee him. In desperation, he thought of George of Huidefeng Bank, who had business dealings in the past. Drive crazy

Madden met Bao Yugang in his luxurious office and listened in on Bao Yugang's moving plan to develop shipping.

Madden said, "Young man, shipping is a dangerous industry. If you do it wrong, you will lose the last shirt. "

"Mr. Madden, I have analyzed it with you, and I am sure of success." Bao Yugang said confidently.

"But the shipping industry has invested a lot of money. Do you have enough money? " Madden sounds rather contemptuous.

Bao Yugang felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard this, but he restrained himself and said calmly, "Mr. Madden, maybe I can't afford an old boat today, but that doesn't mean I can't afford a new one in the future."

Bao Yugang threw these two sentences at each other, which made Madden dumbfounded. The British boss habitually turns his pen. He is particularly concerned about Bao Yugang.

"Since you are so interested and confident in shipping, I will sell Lord Granston to you. This ship was built during the Second World War. Adopt high-quality steel plate, welding is firm, light and fast. Price? 400,000 pounds If you want to buy it, I can provide you with a 70% loan. " Madden said to Bao Yugang.

Shortly after Bao Yugang returned to Hong Kong, he learned from the ship brokerage company that the British Williamson Company wanted to sell an old ship for 220,000 pounds. He believes that 220,000 pounds is the price offered by the brokerage company, which includes the brokerage fee. It will be cheaper if you buy it directly from Williamson company.

Bao Yugang doesn't want to borrow any more money this time. He persuaded his father to give everything he had and lobbied his relatives and friends for help. He raised 0.2 million/200 thousand pounds in various ways and then went to London.

Williamson Company agreed to sell the 28-year-old merchant ship "Ai Aina" to Bao Yugang for 200,000 pounds. After Bao Yugang asked Williamson Company to overhaul the ship, he hired someone to paint the appearance of the ship with a particularly striking new color. People who don't know the details mistakenly think that it is a new ship that has just been launched, and the Aina has also been changed to the Jinan.

When "Jin 'an" set sail from Britain to Hongkong and crossed the Indian Ocean, Bao Yugang, which had been strategizing, had already done two things. First, the establishment of "Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd."; The second is to negotiate with a Japanese shipping company to sublet the Jinan to this company to transport coal from India to Japan.

Facing the morning sun, Jinan sailed eastward through the waves. Bao Yugang stood on the bow deck, full of joy and dignity. His first ship braked the waves in the Pacific Ocean.

At dawn, Bao Yugang's ship sailed into the bay against the rising sun. The family members who had been waiting on the shore gave a cheer. Bao Yugang took everyone on a boat tour, and four daughters ran around the boat like birds, twittering and asking questions.

Bao Yugang won, and the first battle went very smoothly. In the next few years, he bought a lot in the second-hand market, and more than 40 ships were bought in this way. Investment in shipbuilding started at 196 1, and his first new ship left the dock at 1963+ 1.

The name of the company operating these ships is "Global Shipbuilding Group Company", which reflects its global activities.

1975, Bao Yugang ascended the throne of the world shipping king, and his global group owned 84 oil tankers and dry cargo ships, and won the title of "onassis of the East".

"Mr. Bao, as a person born in China, you have made outstanding achievements in the international shipping and financial circles. What do you think? " A Hong Kong reporter asked him.

"We in China are famous for our hard work, honesty and kindness. As a native of China, I encountered more difficulties in starting a business abroad than people of other nationalities, and I often met with distrust and supercilious look. If you want to make outstanding achievements, you can only rely on your own efforts, overcome difficulties with your own efforts, and win the trust of others with your honesty. It is unrealistic to expect foreign governments to give you funds or subsidies. Once your career goes well, don't be conceited; Never grovel when things don't go well. People should always maintain their dignity and confidence. " Bao Yugang smiled and answered meaningfully.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/979, a "dock blitzkrieg" shocked the world. The ship king flew from Paris to London, and then rushed to Hong Kong from London to plan and lobby all parties. I also had a secret talk with Li Ka-shing to raise money from the bosses of various companies. He has been busy all night, but he is not tired. After raising HK$ 265.438 billion, he held a press conference in Hong Kong with a red face. By making a comeback, he killed Jardine Matheson and finally abandoned Wharf.

From 65438 to 0980, the fleet of Bao Yugang Global Shipping Group has grown to more than 200 ships, becoming the king of the world's largest tonnage. In addition to its agency in Hong Kong, Global Shipping Group has set up 20 subsidiaries or agencies in Bermuda, Tokyo, London, new york, Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, and its ships are registered in Liberia, Panama, Britain or Hong Kong.

1Feb. 985, Wang Yiju acquired Huidefeng.

1986 In the early spring, Ship King spent HK$ 200 million to acquire a 30% stake in Dragonair, became the chairman of Dragonair Limited, and opened a route from Hong Kong to Hangzhou. 1In August, 986, Ship Wang Ji bought shares of British Standard Sladin Company with huge sum of money, which forced Rice Bank's plan to buy Sladin to be dashed.

When Bao Yugang was nearly 70 years old, he was still alert, upright, ruddy, resilient, energetic, quick-thinking and resolute. This is the youthful vitality given to him by sports. This youthful vitality has brought him prosperity in his career.

1991On September 23rd, Bao Yugang died at home at the age of 73.

Bao Yugang likes calligraphy very much. When practicing calligraphy, he often wrote this poem by Li Bai: "One day, I will ride the wind and waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea." This poem was Bao Yugang's ambition when he was young and his achievement when he was old. Bao Yugang's persistent spirit helped him create a brilliant career in his life.
