Viskaya corporation is the most famous mechanical manufacturing company in the United States in the 1980s, its products are sold all over the world, and represent the highest level of heavy machinery manufacturing today. Many people are rejected after graduation to apply for jobs at the company for the simple reason that the company's highly skilled personnel are full and no longer need a variety of high-tech talents. But the coveted treatment and the status of pride and ostentation still flash a seductive aura to aspiring job seekers.
Stephen is a highly talented student in the mechanical manufacturing industry at Harvard University. Like many, he was rejected at the company's annual employment test. Stephen was not dead-hearted, and he vowed to enter the Viskaya Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Company. So he adopted a special strategy of pretending that he had nothing to do.
He first went to the company's personnel department, offered to provide the company with free labor, and asked the company to assign him any work, and he did not pay any compensation. The company thought it was incredible at first, but considering that it didn't cost anything and didn't have to worry about it, it assigned him to clean the scrap iron filings in the workshop.
For a year, Stephen has diligently repeated this simple but tiring job. In order to make ends meet, he also has to work in a bar after work. In this way, although he was favored by the boss and the workers, no one mentioned the problem of hiring him.
In the early 1990s, many of the company's orders were returned on the grounds of product quality problems, for which the company suffered huge losses. In order to save the decline, the company's board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. When the meeting went on for a long time without seeing any eyebrows, Stephen broke into the conference room and offered to see the general manager.
At the meeting, Stephen gave a convincing explanation of the reason for the problem, and put forward his own views on the engineering problems, and then came up with his own design plan for the transformation of the product. This design is very advanced, just right to retain the advantages of the original machinery, while overcoming the shortcomings that have emerged,
The general manager and the directors of the board of directors saw that the off-staff cleaner was so shrewd and skillful, and asked about his background and current situation. Subsequently, Steven was hired as the company's deputy general manager in charge of production technology issues.
It turned out that when Steven was doing sweepers, he took advantage of the characteristics of sweepers walking around, carefully inspected the production situation of various departments of the entire company, and made detailed records one by one, found the technical problems that existed and came up with solutions. To this end, he spent nearly 1 year working on design, obtained a large number of statistics, and laid the foundation for the final display of majesty.
"Ambition should be high" This is a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, the ancients attached great importance to the establishment of life ambitions, and if they aspired to be high, they would self-motivate, work hard, and achieve something.

Everyone must seriously examine themselves, perceive the hardships of the road to realizing their ideals, have lofty ambitions, but not be paranoid and conceited; they must aim high, but they must not be lofty.
Since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have set lofty aspirations, taken diligence as the path, and worked hard to realize their ideals and ambitions.
