In the spring of 1969, Penny began to feel uncomfortable and was easily angry in the office. Later, she went to see a doctor and found out she was pregnant. Knight and Penny were ecstatic
Then she began to consider new problems and needed to change a new house. How to understand housing prices, where is a good school? How to do these things well while taking into account the company, or do you need to do stable jobs like accounting teachers? After all, Knight herself was just starting to get a salary
[I found a house of about 150 square meters in Beaverton, but there were 4047 square meters of land around it, as well as a stable and swimming pool. There is a big pine tree in front of the house, and a Japanese bamboo behind it]
Knight recognized this place at a glance. When he was a child, his sister asked Knight about the house he dreamed of, and Knight drew it with a brush. Now he found it completely the way he drew when he was a child
Growing up to this day, I have heard many elders say that his ideas and plans when he was a child have become facts. At first I felt a little incredible, such as someone who said that he probably knew what his future partner looked like at that time, some people said that he lived in, what industry he was engaged in, how many children he had, etc., and finally all came true one by one
Later, some of them could be interpreted by life scripts: life scripts are the plans we formed in our childhood, our plan for our life.
Simple parts are easier to achieve, and most of them are particularly challenging. Most of them give up halfway through
From a mathematical perspective, there are also certain probabilistic factors. I have experienced similar things and I felt incredible at first. Later, I gradually realized that there is a certain probability that
From the perspective of brain science , after we processed memory fuzzy processing, many things were confused, so we regard only a few similar things as the same
The most important thing for us individuals is the spirit of hard work. We used to be addicted to imagination and theory, and were particularly idealized and pursuing. After we began to deliberately train our practical ability, we slowly understood that ideas, planning, and dreams can be created from scratch through our hands and brains. Except for the wishes made by our childhood "scripts" now, the dreams that we have created can become reality bit by bit. Now we are trying to pass
in the way we like. A new house costs $34,000, and Knight can only pay 20%. Then Knight used his savings to pay the down payment and used the newly bought house as bank collateral
After handling these things, Knight returned home and told Penny that if the company went bankrupt, they would be homeless, which made her very uneasy and kept saying it several times: OK, okay
This is very good. Knight has always been very frank about himself, the team, and his family. For example, when he joined , Johnson , he clearly stated that the company was in debt, and then used "spy" to tell the employees... In addition to rationality, he also had some connections with his long-term athlete during his studies (experienced the environment and other shaped him)
After that, Penny worked harder and seemed to be about to devote everything to the company. When she was not allowed to continue in the office, she continued to carry out mail order business while enduring the morning discomfort, swelling ankles, rising weight, and frequent fatigue. In this way, she completed the 1,500 order business with her own strength, and the sales were very successful
In September, after the prenatal examination, at 4 a.m., Penny felt uncomfortable. He immediately contacted the doctor and drove to the hospital. Before that, Knight had practiced many times to rush to the hospital as quickly as possible. This is also a prominent feature of Knight. He will practice and prepare in advance for anything he does. For example, if he does business with a Japanese for the first time, he will ask some experienced people to buy books and study by himself. There are many similar advance preparation descriptions. Just like every event he participated in before, the most basic skill is to do the best training and cannot accept failure.
Send Penny to the hospital and push the delivery room. Knight sat on a stool and started thinking about the company while waiting. He saw the doctor moving his lips towards him for about an hour. He heard words like "joy" and "toy". He slowly heard clearly "it's a boy! "
The doctor took Knight to see Penny. She was exhausted but glorious, blushed, and her son wearing a velvet hat was lying on a white soft cloth blanket beside her arms
Knight kissed Penny and said to her softly, "you ara champion!" Penny was a little uncertain if she was talking about her
There are some different feelings here. In the company, what they discussed the most was the product, craftsmanship, and delivery Knight said to Penny: We did it!
After Penny fell asleep, Knight wandered for a while [suddenly I was extremely eager to see my father. I had a strong desire for him. ］
Your children are not yours,
is the children born from the desire of "life" for itself.
They borrowed you into the world, but they did not come from you, and
Although they lived with you, they did not belong to you.
…
You are bows, and your children are real arrows shot from your bowstrings.
The archer saw the target standing on the endless road,
He would use his divine power to fully draw your bows so that his arrow could shoot quickly to the farthest.
Let your bow bend in the hands of the archer;
Because he loves both the fast arrow and the still bow. —— Gibran
