Last weekend, I made a trip back to my hometown. The young people in the village have gone out to work, only some elderly people are left behind, and some children who are not old enough to go to school. I walked around the village for half a day and felt bored. At this time, I heard the sound of the carpentry machine. I thought, no one in the village built a new house, how could anyone hire a carpenter?
I followed the sound and walked into a red brick house and saw Wang Xiaowei sawing wood planks and making furniture. Wang Xiaowei is now nine years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is a famous carpenter in the village, but I can't figure out why he should return to the countryside to do carpentry.
While Wang Xiaowei was resting, I chatted with him for more than an hour. Wang Xiaowei said: "Over the years, carpentry has become more and more difficult to mix, many high-rise buildings are made of aluminum alloy doors and windows, cabinets are marble. I, the carpenter, am also at a loss. Ten years ago, Wang Xiaowei went to Foshan to work, and with his carpentry skills, he worked in a furniture factory. There are five or six thousand wages a month, but in addition to the cost of eating and renting, there are more than three thousand left, and Wang Xiaowei is very dissatisfied with such income. He often thinks that if he works in Foshan all his life, then he wants to buy a house in the city and let his wife and children live a good life, which is estimated to be impossible.
I said, "If you don't go to Foshan to work, or do some carpentry work at home, you are not worse off." Wang Xiaowei smiled: "Now, I have set up a furniture factory in the county town, my lover is responsible for selling furniture, and I am responsible for making furniture in the village." I also invited two masters to make furniture together, and they took a leave of absence today and did not come. ”
It turned out that in recent years, Wang Xiaowei started his own business, not only set up a furniture factory, but also bought a car and a small truck, and bought two houses in the county. He is also a late man, although he has been going around for many years to find the direction of life, but he has succeeded in one fell swoop.
From Wang Xiaowei's body, I realized such a truth: People who are late in their careers have these two characteristics.
The ancients said, "Big husband, the camera moves." In other words, a person must identify opportunities that are beneficial to himself and take effective actions in order to succeed. If you don't have the right opportunity, wait and see, don't act rashly, and don't expose your life goals too early. A person wants to develop a career, so many people, when they are young, have been practicing their skills, studying hard, and at a certain age, their lives have exploded.
Wang Xiaowei stayed in Foshan for more than five years, and before going to Foshan, he also studied the techniques of carpentry for three years. When he was in Foshan, after work, he read some furniture design drawings and participated in some local carpentry training. One summer vacation, he deliberately took a month off to attend a carpentry training in the provincial city, and others laughed at him as a fool and spent money indiscriminately.
While learning, while practicing, Wang Xiaowei really mastered the know-how of making furniture. Although he only had high Chinese, he became a person with real ability.
In the past few years, the development of the county town has become faster and faster, and more people have come to the city to buy houses. Wang Xiaowei rented a warehouse in the suburbs and started his own entrepreneurial road. He bought ready-made furniture from Foshan to sell and made his own furniture. Because of his good craftsmanship and fair price of furniture, there are more and more orders.
The business is getting smoother and smoother, so Wang Xiaowei's old house in his hometown is vacated for furniture. Every year, he spends three or four months making furniture in his old house, and when it's done, he transports it to the city.
"Opportunities are left to those who are prepared", and people who are late in their careers are never in a hurry and are always preparing. When you have a certain ability, the opportunity comes, act immediately, do anything, and have the effect of doing more with less. Look at those who are in a hurry, often get nothing done.
There is a saying in my hometown: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong." "When a person becomes famous, rather than a good thing, he often attracts jealousy and frame-up. What a person flaunts, he will often lose. People who really become great instruments are very humble and unremarkable.
When Wang Xiaowei went to the county town to open a furniture store, many people thought that he would lose a mess. Some people say: "Now people, are buying high-end furniture, he makes his own furniture, are some rough furniture, sell to whom?" He was a carpenter from the countryside, and he really didn't measure up. ”
In fact, Wang Xiaowei's furniture store made tens of thousands of yuan in two months of opening, but he did not get complacent, but continued to change the way he operated. In front of others, he never said that he was the boss, and he personally moved the furniture and assembled the furniture himself, no different from the workers he invited.
In the county, there are several furniture stores, but they all transport furniture from other places to sell, and make a difference from the middle, so it is difficult to make money. Wang Xiaowei took advantage of the abundant wood and low price in his hometown to make more money by making his own furniture. He cooperated with some wood processing plants, and in terms of raw materials, don't worry about them.
Over the years, no one can say exactly how much money Wang Xiaowei has made, but the car and house he owns, everyone has seen. Although he tried his best to achieve "wealth without revealing it", the fact of success was already there.
The "Cautionary Tale" reads: "Those who become early may not be successful, and those who reach late may not be reached." You can't be young and self-righteous, you can't be old and give up on yourself. ”
A person to do things, want to speed is not up to, take it slowly, when you are young, suffer a little, live a humble life, as you grow older, get richer and richer, the more you live, the more you are, is the real happiness.
Everything must be bitter first and then sweet, if it is sweet first and then bitter, life is a failure. Therefore, when a person is suffering, do not be afraid, but calm down, practice skills, and know how to lie dormant. Just like a piece of scrap iron, thrown into the furnace, to a certain degree of fire, it becomes a useful piece of iron, the so-called "real gold is not afraid of fire refining."
When you don't get anything done, tell yourself, "Don't worry, the good drama is behind you." "People who really become great instruments have the endurance to sharpen a sword for ten years, and there is a wonderful explosion in silence."
Time will tell who is useful and who is waste.
