Chapter 37 1. No problem is the biggest problem

There are always more methods than problems. It is a spirit of contempt and courage to challenge difficulties, and it is also an attitude to overcome difficulties by searching for methods.Does it mean, then, that difficulties and problems are merely objects that we despise and overcome? Everything in the world is dialectical. Although difficulties and problems have brought us a lot of trouble and pain, encountering difficulties and problems is not only inevitable in life, but also has positive effects on our growth, development and creation. significance.We should not only be good at solving difficulties and problems, but also turn difficulties and problems into opportunities.

Let's start with the simplest dialectic: don't try to be okay.Because, the biggest problem may be that there is no problem. A college graduate published an article in a well-known journal about his experience in his first job after graduation. He got good grades and applied for a job in a large company after graduation.The personnel department was very satisfied with his information and interview performance, and immediately called the financial manager to interview him. His performance in front of the financial manager was also very good, so he was officially hired soon to work in the financial department.Since he is the only famous college student in the department, everyone respects him very much.This was a normal thing, but he unconsciously felt proud because of it, and always acted like I was capable and there was no problem.At the beginning, the financial manager kindly reminded him, but he always laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.

Soon, the financial manager gave him a job to enter the voucher into the raw material subsidiary account.This was originally an extremely simple job, but it was just transcribing the numbers.He copied more than a thousand vouchers in two days.For this reason, he also felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that he was overqualified, and his words were quite critical.However, when he started to check the general ledger on the sixth day, he was surprised to find that he was not right.No matter how you check it repeatedly, it just doesn't match up with the general ledger.At this time, instead of carefully checking his work, he began to suspect that the general ledger was wrong.He went to the financial manager again confidently, and told him in an extremely positive tone that he was not wrong, it should be the general ledger that was wrong.The financial manager asked him to double check his accounts, but he refused.

So, the financial manager came to review in person.As a result, a mistake was found in less than ten minutes: he added an extra two in front of a number, so the difference between the two was nearly ten times!He was ashamed, but the financial manager did not give him a chance, but asked the HR department for approval and fired him.Despite his pleas, he was still not forgiven.Before leaving, the financial manager had a heart-to-heart talk with him: Boy, you're smart, but not too smart.You are arrogant, which is understandable.But work requires not arrogance, but down-to-earth.Don't underestimate the error of a number, and the company may suffer huge losses. Who will bear the responsibility?I'm old enough to be your father, and I could have forgiven you, but I think it's hard to learn your lesson without making you suffer a little.I hope you will not blindly say that there is no problem from now on, and think more about what you have done poorly or not enough!

A good job is lost because of a small number error.This may seem a bit injustice, but it can't be blamed on others.In this era of more and more professional ethics, people who perfunctory their work with no problems will only become less and less popular.Many big failures, often caused by not having a problem, sometimes cost them dearly. Giant Group was once the most eye-catching high-tech enterprise in China.In 1991, when Zhuhai Giant New Technology Company was born, Shi Yuzhu declared that the giant would become China's IBM and the East's giant. Relying on the development of computer software, the giant once created a miracle of annual profit growth of 500%, and the giant suddenly became a model of Zhuhai's high-tech industry.In 1994, Shi Yuzhu was elected as one of the top ten reform figures in China.But at this moment, he made a mistake in decision-making and began to take the road of blind expansion.

At that time, the country was experiencing a real estate boom. Giant decided to seize this opportunity to carry out real estate development. The investment amount was increased one after another, and finally it would spend 1.2 billion yuan to build the Giant Building, which was planned to be the tallest building in the country.After the introduction of national macro-control policies, the company's funds were in trouble. In 1996, the giant went bankrupt. The giant's bankruptcy confirmed a theory of Napoleon: the most dangerous moment often occurs at the moment of success. Every big failure is preceded by a success of almost the same magnitude.Numerous facts have proved that success can easily make people lose their minds, thus creating a huge crisis.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu flooded Cao Cao's seven armies and frightened Cao Cao to move the capital. But at this time, because of his blind arrogance, he fell into the strategy of Eastern Wu Lu Meng, resulting in defeat and killing; Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty was also overthrowing After the Ming Dynasty ruled, it was defeated by the Manchus outside the pass. Kazuo Wada in Japan had a similar experience.He is the person in charge of Japan Yaohan Company.In half a century, he built a rural vegetable shop into an international distribution group with 400 department stores and supermarkets all over the world and annual sales exceeding 500 billion yen. Listed in Hong Kong and Malaysia, it has attracted worldwide attention and is known as the Hotan of the world.

In 1990, Kazuo Wada moved the headquarters of Yaohan Group to Hong Kong, and then to Shanghai.The rapid development of the enterprise made him blindly proud and confident, making imprudent judgments and expanding blindly.The crisis came quietly.In 1997, Yaohan Japan, the core company of the Yaohan Group, encountered a business crisis and had a debt of 160 billion yen. The company had to declare bankruptcy.Kazuo Wada was so poor that he had to rent a house. In 1998, Kazuo Wada, who was over 70 years old, established a business consulting company, determined to pass on his business experience and lessons to young operators.One of his most profound lessons is:

When running a business is the most difficult, I tend to make all kinds of efforts to overcome the difficulties, but when my career is successful, I become complacent and make mistakes in judgment.It seems, therefore, that the greatest success in business comes with the greatest risk: failure is the wealth of life, and success is the greatest danger. A thinker once said: Everyone wants the truth to be on their side, but they don’t want to be on the side of the truth.Many people stumble because they are too blindly confident, because they are always dazzled by the victory, because at this time, there is only one sentence in their heads that is okay!

We cannot pray that there will be no problems after our success or brilliance, let alone pray that there will be no problems in life!Life is a process of constantly encountering, discovering, facing and solving problems.When old problems are solved, new ones arise, and we cannot get bored or avoid them!The only thing we can do is to improve our ability to see and solve problems.On this basis, it is possible to build our self-confidence.
