As we enter the highly volatile "Uka era", "courage" becomes the only certainty in the midst of many uncertainties. Resoluteness and fearlessness, as a personality trait, carry the courage and determination of an individual to face unknown challenges. This trait is not only an inner belief, but also a powerful force for action, which inspires people to listen to themselves in the face of difficulties, challenges and uncertainties, take courageous steps, and even dare to "jump off the edge of the cliff".
According to a sample of emerging entrepreneurs, the assertiveness of entrepreneurs has a significant predictive effect on their ability to execute successfully. This means that those who dare to take risks and act decisively on the road to entrepreneurship are usually good at seizing opportunities, realizing personal dreams, and even becoming pioneers in leading change and promoting social progress.
Forbes China has long focused on the elite figures in the business sector and deeply tracked their role in promoting the development of civilization and society.
