Now the epidemic situation is counterattacking everywhere, the number of new infections in various places remains high, supplies are scarce, and life is difficult, and many people are in anxiety and panic.
If you feel you are about to be unable to hold on, you might as well read the book " When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door ".
The protagonist Chris Gardner , got a terrible script since he was born.
was raped when he was young, and was burdened with debt, divorced and unemployed, and was left on the streets after adulthood... The series of critical hits of life caught him off guard, leaving him with no way out.
But in the sad state of fighting fate, he never retreated.
Chris tells us that in a difficult situation, only when one opens three doors, happiness will knock on the door.
Open the door of self-knowledge
Some people say that if there is no disaster, people will not know their limitations and will not know themselves.
Chris was also proud and satisfied.
He can finish a whole math book by himself in a week, and get the best in the history exam, and has the reputation of being a "smart big head".
So, when he walked into society with confidence and found a bone density scanner worth investing in, he thought he had mastered the wealth code, so he didn't bother to investigate the market and took out all his wealth and poured it in.
Unexpectedly, economic crisis came so quickly.
Overnight, the "money tree" he fantasized about became a burden that he could not get rid of, pressing him on the millstone of life to crush him again and again.
Chris had to run around every day to promote it, but he still couldn't sell a machine for four consecutive months and could not make a penny.
The son's care pay is to be paid, the landlord roars to collect rent, and his wife is unable to live in poverty and is ready to abandon him...
The whole world is against him, but he has not blamed others and cannot recover.
did not deny its value and ability for a long time because of a temporary downfall.
He knows very well that he is very good at dealing with people.
So even if the customer refuses, he will still say "thank you" with a smile and continue to visit.
Moreover, his computing power is amazing and his mind is very fast.
Even if he only has a high school education, he is still actively looking for new job opportunities.
When his wife scolds him for being only daydreaming, he is not disturbed and believes that he has the ability to start over again.
The reality is cruel, Chris never escaped, life is difficult, he smiled with tears in his eyes and comforted, "I'm very good, not bad."
The power of Chris is that he is in a low point, and can still look at himself objectively, truly do not look up or belittle his life, and be responsible for his life to the end.
German philosopher Benjamin said that "Happiness means being able to know yourself without feeling panic."
Once a person cannot see himself clearly, he will become arrogant and expand his arrogance when he gets some results. When he encounters setbacks, he will cry and grab the world, and will continue to consume his own mental resources.
Only by knowing yourself, knowing yourself, being arrogant and not being discouraged in the face of the times, can you open the door to happiness.
Open the door of self-reflection
When doctors refused to pay for Chris' scanner , Chris couldn't hide his inner loss.
He was carrying the heavy machine and stood tired and helplessly on the bustling streets.
He didn't understand: "Why do everyone passing by look happy, but I can't?"
However, he quickly realized that when he felt unhappy, he should work hard to find the answer instead of complaining and questioning.
Once, he sent his son to school and found that the "Happyness" on the exterior wall at the kindergarten entrance was spelled incorrectly.
He pointed out the error to the cleaner next to him, but the other party disdained it.
Chris continued to correct: There is no "y" in happiness. There is "i".
This stubbornness comes from his belief: Happiness is not something that comes. Don't ask "why", but rely on yourself to fight for it.
One day, he met a red sports car owner on the street, and walked over and started chatting with him.
Through conversation, he learned that the other party was a well-paid stock broker .
What’s more coincidental is that when he works, he only needs to be "proficient in numbers and be able to deal with people."
After listening to the owner’s advice, Chris was full of confidence.
After carefully understanding, he submitted his resume to the securities company with hope.
However, his enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by a sentence from the human resources manager: "There are too many applicants, wait for the notice."
Yes, there are so many applicants who graduated from prestigious universities. How can he be better than others with only a high school education?
After thinking through this, Chris decided to find another way and take the initiative.
He carries a scanner weighing 4 pounds every day and appears downstairs at the securities company, waiting for the personnel manager, looking for an opportunity to interview him.
A month later, Chris finally waited for the human resources manager who hurried out of the building as he wished.
He successfully won the favor of his manager and got the opportunity to internship with his mathematical talent.
The interns are not paid after entering a securities company, and they are very likely to be eliminated after 6 months of internship.
In order to successfully become a regular, Chris tried his best to call the customer to find a customer, but two months later, the results were still minimal.
After being rejected again and again, he began to reflect on himself and change his thinking.
Since the president of a company is the one with the right to decide, why not just find him to discuss business?
So Chris directly called Ruiben, president of Pacific Bell.
Ruiben was originally very busy, but one happened to be temporarily cancelled. In this way, Chris actually got the opportunity he had longed for.
Chris' counterattack seems to be accidental, but in fact it is the result of his own efforts.
When he encountered difficulties, he did not give up, but reflected on himself and changed his thinking in time, and tried his best to achieve his goal.
This path doesn't work, so I'll find a way to change it.
There are thousands of roads in the world. The occasional encounter is to make yourself stop and think, and find a better way out.
Life is a long journey, and it is inevitable to frequently step on thunders during this journey.
If you do not check it in time and avoid the trap, you will continue to fall and take detours next time.
Always use a magnifying glass to see yourself, and people who can't see you clearly for half their lives are destined to live a different life.
Open the door of self-rescue
Even though he got the entry ticket from the securities company, Chris was still moving forward like a snail, carrying heavy shells.
Due to the long-term owing the fine, the money he earned was forcibly taken away by the bank, leaving only $21.33 in his pocket.
He could not afford the rent and was driven out by the landlord.
Chris had to go to his friend to collect debts, but the other party turned a blind eye and mocked him, "Didn't it just owe you $14, as for it?"
He had no place to live, so he had to drag his luggage and lead his son and hide in the bathroom on the subway.
In the cold and cramped space, accompanied by the thunderous knocking and cursing outside the door, Chris shed tears and survived the most difficult disaster in his life.
However, when he woke up the next day, he wiped his tears, continued to move forward with his injuries, and ran on the road to make a living.
In the office, he can keep calling and digging out customers all day without drinking water, not going to the toilet, keep calling.
In the shelter, on countless nights without lights, Chris reads professional books through the moonlight until the early morning.
On the dining table where the relief meal was placed, he buried his head in taking notes and didn't care about eating.
After half a year of hard work, Chris finally obtained the company's only entry qualification with excellent written test results and practical results.
At that moment, he cried with joy and applauded himself with all his might.
Relying on the ultimate diligence, Chris finally grew from a down-and-out poor man sleeping on the streets to Wall Street ’s first top black stockbroker, ushering in the spring of life.
very much like Bi Shumin 's words: "I don't believe in fate, I only believe in my hands. Fate is in our hands."
There are boats crossing the sea and bridges passing by the river. Those who can hold an umbrella for themselves will not be afraid of the ups and downs on the road.
In this life, few people are calm and light, and more are torrents.
Perhaps, you and I are now having to bear the heavy hammer of fate:
money is becoming increasingly difficult to earn, but the children's tuition and parents' pension fees cannot be stopped;
The unit cuts salary without discussing it, but the mortgage and car loans are still paid, and they are unable to make ends meet immediately;
Dare not to rest when they are tired, dare not ask for leave when they are sick, and face the risk of being laid off at any time...
The squeeze of fate is everywhere, but even if you and I are forced to surrender by life, we must grit our teeth and live as our own ferryman.
feel bitter, and you will swallow it when you chew it; you feel tired, and you will be over after you hold on.
After the bitter wind and rain, you will naturally welcome the spring breeze and the sun shines brightly.
