"One step forward" Be your own noble person

"One Step Forward" is a book of inspiration for modern women's growth. Women's growth is more important than success. In the next week, we will interpret this book for you from seven parts including confidence, growth, and being the best version of yourself.

Share the fourth part first? You are your own noble person.

I once heard a story.

A doorman in a five-star hotel is always willing to do a little more than others.

One day, it was snowing heavily, and an old lady walked towards the hotel shivering.

When the doorman saw it, he immediately took off his coat, wrapped it around the old man, and sent her back to the room.

The doorman left after the old man recovered.

A few days later, the doorman unexpectedly received an invitation letter and a one-way ticket to New York from the old man.

The doorman was overjoyed. He had never been to New York once since he was a child. When he arrived in New York, in addition to an old lady, he was greeted by a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was the steel magnate Carnegie, the richest man in the world at that time.

The old man is Carnegie’s mother.

The mother and son admired the bellman's professionalism very much. Mr. Carnegie did not hesitate to invest in him the most luxurious five-star hotel in the world at that time, and named it after the bellman- —Hilton Hotel, and the doorman named Hilton also became the first president of the hotel.

Many people say that Hilton met a noble person, but in the final analysis, if Hilton was working as a doorman and his work was ordinary like other doormen, would he still meet a noble person who appreciates him? ?

In fact, our real noble person in life is ourselves.

Just like Cheryl wrote in "Lean In": Only by letting yourself "stand out" can you possibly meet noble people.

?Those who can only stretch out their hands are destined to be mediocre

Recently, the TV series "Everything Is Good" became popular, and then netizens asked a question: "Are you willing to marry Su Mingzhe or Su Mingcheng?" ”

If I had to choose one, I would rather marry Su Mingzhe.

Because Su Mingcheng is a real hand-in-hand party, people have no hope at all.

When Su Mingcheng was a child, his mother would put the things he wanted in his hands as soon as he reached out. When he grew up, he even asked for a job, a house, a car, and his parents' savings.

When Su's mother passed away, he fancifully thought that as long as he took out the money to invest, a lot of money would fall on his head.

But the reality is that when the hand that was extended this time was taken back, it was empty.

After the accident, he blamed all the mistakes on others, and for this reason he lost the job that his mother had finally found for him.

When I was a child, my favorite fairy tale was "Sleeping Beauty", because the princess just needs to lie there and sleep, and the prince will come and kiss her, and she will live happily ever after.

It is really easy to obtain happiness in fairy tales, but the reality is that if you don’t work hard, the prince won’t even look at you.

Sheryl Sandberg, the author of "Lean In", mentioned a psychological phenomenon called "Crown Syndrome" in her book.

The symptom of this kind of psychology is that people feel that if they are not proactive, others will take the initiative to put the crown on us.

But the crown is limited, and it will only be awarded to those who work hard.

If you are not proactive in life, then you can only settle down; if you are not proactive in work, then you are destined to be mediocre.

?♀? Only by taking action will you have a chance

The famous Japanese industrialist Kazuo Inamori said: "Work in the whirlpool, face difficulties actively, and don't hide in your comfort zone. "

Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, never spent a day in his comfort zone since he was a child.

Since he was a child, his father asked him to go out to work with his brothers. When he was a teenager, in order to train himself, he secretly signed up to join the army, but because he was still young, he was not admitted.

Having no choice but to go to the battlefield, he had no choice but to join the International Red Cross Society and become a volunteer.

While saving lives and helping the wounded, he felt the suffering in the world that ordinary people cannot understand.

Perhaps his animation dream originated from this period. He wanted to fill the world with laughter and innocence.

After the war, he wanted to fulfill his dream with practical actions. The first thing he wanted to do was to learn to paint, so he studied while working in a company, painting day and night. It didn't take long to become a painter in the company.

Later, Walt and his friends opened their own animation company, but it closed in less than a month because they could not receive business.

But he was not discouraged and continued to draw and made the drawings into animated short films.

Finally, his hard work paid off. After his first animated film "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" was released, it received a good response.

He did not stop there and continued to devote himself to his creation. Later, the Mickey series came out and the response was unprecedented.

After making money and becoming famous, he could have found other teams to paint, but he still refused to put down his painting brush and enjoy a comfortable life.

Later "The Three Little Pigs" and "Pinocchio" appeared in everyone's field of vision one after another.

Mr. Ji Xianlin once said: "You must be content with material things, be dissatisfied with your studies, and be dissatisfied with your work. As long as you are proactive and work hard, opportunities will not be unfair to you."

Hua Walt Disney grew up in an aggressive manner throughout his life, and he never stopped taking action.

So the opportunity never left him.

Many people complain that life has not given them opportunities. In fact, I want to say that opportunities are always there, but you are just too lazy to reach out and grab them.

? Only when you stand out can you meet a good teacher

Sheryl Sandberg mentioned in "Lean In" that before she left the Starbucks board of directors, she had Female entrepreneur Shi Zongwei recommended it to Starbucks, hoping that she would take over her position.

Shi Zongwei was only 29 years old when he entered the Starbucks board of directors.

If you want to meet Bole, you must first let yourself become a thousand-mile horse.

Shi Zongwei is a workaholic, and even her wedding and honeymoon were used for work.

At the age of 26, she wrote a book that became popular around the world - "The Age of Facebook". Now this book has become a must-read textbook at Harvard Business School.

Some people say that she is gifted, but she says that the reason why she stands out is due to her learning bit by bit and always staying curious.

The industry describes Shi Zongwei as a "three-faceted man" who is not only proficient in computer science, but also has a good understanding of social management, and is an outstanding CEO.

She made herself stand out in three fields and entered people's field of vision in a low-key manner.

Cheryl said that she was deeply impressed by Shi Zongwei because she heard Shi Zongwei’s views on social media at a meeting five years ago.

This view inspired her deeply.

After that meeting, she got in touch with Shi Zongwei. Whenever Shi Zongwei had questions or had novel ideas at work, he would call Cheryl for advice.

Cheryl will answer all your questions.

Cheryl is not only Shi Zongwei’s mentor, but also the person who helped her enter Starbucks.

The reason why Chollima was chosen by Bole at first glance was because of its excellence.

Everyone likes the one who stands out.

As the saying goes, "If you bloom, the breeze will come."

Only by making ourselves excellent can we attract better people.

?♀?The best noble person is yourself

Shi Zongwei said: "In my life, I regard all problems as opportunities to challenge, and there is no other choice. Method. ”

Crowns will not fall from the sky, they will only be awarded to those who take active actions.

There are no shortcuts in life. We can only force ourselves to get out of the comfort zone that traps us, go into the whirlpool, and face difficulties and challenges calmly.

Because it is in our own hands to decide whether life is wonderful.

The first noble person you meet is always yourself.
