Chapter 7 5. As long as the spirit does not slip, there are always more ways than problems

As long as the spirit does not slip, there are always more methods than problems. This is a slogan posted prominently in front of the workshop door.I was immediately attracted by it, and I couldn't help asking the master: Why do you put this couplet in the most conspicuous place in the workshop? The master smiled and told me a story.Twenty years ago, in a remote and impoverished small village in Inner Mongolia, there lived an ordinary young man.Once, a family member fell ill, and because they had no money, they couldn't afford to hire a doctor.In desperation, the young man wanted to borrow two yuan from the villagers to see a doctor for his family, but he went all over the village and failed to borrow it.It's not that the villagers are unwilling to borrow, but because they are too poor.

This matter is very stimulating to young people.He felt that if he stayed in the village like this, there would be no hope.So, at the age of nineteen, he took six corn buns and rode a broken bicycle to a city 80 kilometers away to make a living. It is hard to find a job in the city. In addition, he has not graduated from high school and has a low education. It is even more difficult to find a good job. He managed to find a job as a handyman on a construction site.The daily salary is one yuan and seventy cents, which is only enough for him to eat, but he still tries his best to save one yuan every day to help his family.

As difficult as life is, he kept telling himself: it will never be like this forever.He is eager to stand out, and for this reason, he is determined to work harder than others.Two months later, he was promoted to material worker, and his salary was increased by one yuan. By paying more than others, he initially gained a firm foothold.After that, he began to pay attention to the method.He believes that in order to gain a firm foothold in the new unit, he must be more recognized by everyone, and even become an indispensable person in the unit.So how can this be done? After thinking hard, he finally thought of a small idea: life on the construction site is very boring, he thought, can we make everyone's spare time more enriching?Thinking of this, he took out the little money he had saved and bought famous works such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". After reading them carefully, he told them to everyone.In this way, the time after dinner is always the happiest time for everyone.The happy laughter of the workers every day is a great reward for him.

Unexpectedly, one day, the boss came to the construction site to inspect the work and found that he had a very good eloquence, so he decided to promote him to be a public relations salesman. He is very encouraged that a small idea can have such an effect after being put into practice.Therefore, he will take the initiative to find the specialty of the method, and also use it in various aspects For all the problems on the construction site, he has a positive attitude to deal with the protagonist.A worker on the night shift has the habit of urinating anywhere, and it’s useless to say anything. He tried his best to make everyone go to the toilet in a civilized manner; a worker was irritable and had to fight desperately with the contractor after drinking. He tried to calm down the conflict and satisfy all parties.

Although these are trivial matters, the leaders see them all.Slowly, he became the leader's right-hand man. The most interesting moment came, because he often took the initiative to find a way, he waited for a good opportunity to start a business One day, the construction site leader told him that the company originally contracted a project, but due to various reasons, it was too difficult and decided to give up. As a person who likes to think of ways in everything, he urges the leaders not to give up.The leader looked at him full of enthusiasm, and suddenly said a word: I am not sure about this project.If you see it right, you can take the lead and I can help you.

He could hardly believe his ears: Isn't this a great opportunity for him to start his own business?He took the project without hesitation, and started working with confidence. But the difficulties encountered were unexpected. There were 17 official seals to be stamped, but he still tried his best to stamp them all, and finally the project was completed on schedule.He found the first bucket of gold in his life.On the fifth anniversary of his entry into the city, he calculated his family property, and it was already a full three million yuan. The young man tasted the benefits of relentless enterprise and constant search for solutions to problems, and has since tried harder.He now not only owns the largest construction team in the local area, but is also one of the largest grass industry operators in Inner Mongolia. Every year, more than 10,000 farmers provide his enterprise with jade, grass and other fodder.With a lot of wealth, he built the world's largest aureomycin production plant in his impoverished hometown, and its production accounted for a quarter of the world's production. Many fellow villagers followed him on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

The man who created the miracle, his name is Wang Dongxiao, the chairman of Inner Mongolia Jinhe Group. Communication with Wang Dongxiao is a kind of enjoyment.He said: Why should I let every employee realize that as long as the spirit does not slip, there are always more ways than problems?Because this is one of the most important concepts for my success! A person's life is a life of constantly encountering problems and fighting against them.The problems will be endless, if we don't take the initiative to find a solution, can we win this war? He went on to emphasize that the reason why he was unsuccessful was that he succumbed to the problem, magnified the problem for no reason, and underestimated himself.In fact, as long as you try hard to find a way, how can you not find it?And the more you find, the more you will be able to find, of course, the method is always more difficult than it is!

Interestingly, I visited Mengniu Dairy, another well-known company in Inner Mongolia, and found the same slogan.Mengniu has been honored as the fastest growing company in China for three consecutive years. Why does it have such a culture? Niu Gensheng, the chairman of the board, said to me: This is so strange.This is one of the most important qualities of a person.In a unit, whether it is a leader or an employee, as long as there is such a spirit, what difficulties cannot be overcome and what problems cannot be solved! In fact, not only in Inner Mongolia, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang in the past few years, I have met many outstanding people. Whether they are leaders or employees, they all firmly believe that there are always more solutions than problems.

(1) Being able to find a way is one of the greatest advantages of a human being As an advanced animal, the biggest characteristic of human beings is that they can use their brains.This point, the famous American entrepreneur Iacocca has a personal experience.He frankly stated that the reason why he has developed so much has a lot to do with two people.One of them was the branch manager he met when he first started working.He said to Iacocca: You have to remember that horses are stronger and dogs are more loyal.Your only strength as a human being is your intellectual intelligence, and that's the only way you can surpass them.

Another person who influenced him the most was his father.His father once opened a movie theater in the town, and the business has been good, because he has always introduced preferential measures to attract audiences, including providing several free tickets every day to old teachers and veterans. But one day, all the people who should give discounted tickets have run out, and how many tickets are left, what should I do? His father thought sadly at the door, and just saw a few children playing at the door, so he suddenly came up with an idea: let the children with the dirtiest faces watch movies for free.

This is a completely unexpected approach: because in the past, the discounts were given to those who are worthy of respect, but now, the discounts are given to a few dirty children, what is this?However, his approach is a kind of humor, and it is a kind of humanized management.Sure enough, people are willing to patronize his movie theaters more after that. (2) Don’t be afraid of not being able to do it, just be afraid of being unexpected Whether it's starting a business or pursuing success in other areas, the reason is the same: don't be afraid of not being able to do it, just be afraid of being unexpected! Ross.Perot originally worked as a salesman for IBM, the largest computer company in the United States. He found that many computer functions were not fully utilized by many users.He believes that if IBM can add data processing services to help these users discover the potential of computers, it will be successful. So Ross.Perot carefully wrote a report on the data processing services market and presented it to IBM management.Unexpectedly, the proposal was rejected by the company's decision-makers.So, he decided to set up a company to start his own business. However, he encountered a big problem: he couldn't afford expensive computers, so the service was out of the question.But he didn't flinch, and finally came up with a trick: He bought the usage time of an IBM computer installed at an insurance company at a wholesale price, then spent five months finding a wireless company to sell the usage time to the company at a retail price, And provide its computer services. Unexpectedly, the market opened up all of a sudden, and businesses flooded in.Later, the Electronic Data Corporation (EDS) he founded has become a large company with billions of assets. Many people think that only when the conditions are sufficient can they start a business, but Ross.The success of Perot tells us a truth: You can start a business without conditions! As long as you are determined and willing to use your brain, you can let the conditions make way for the belief! (3) As long as we continue to develop, the ability to find methods will become stronger and stronger Human thinking nerves are like human muscles, only with constant exercise will they become stronger and stronger.If you don't exercise, your good muscles will also atrophy.If you practice well, even if the foundation is not good, you can improve through gradual efforts. The more you find a way, the more you will find a way.The more you know how to find methods, the more value you can create. This not only improves your confidence in finding methods, but also makes you more and more aware of the tricks of finding methods, so you can find more and better methods!
