Chapter 21: The things of the world are most afraid of the word serious
Futon requirements: neatly arranged, flat and square, side octagonal. Flies fly up to split forks, mosquitoes fly up and slip!
- Xu Sanduo
Like most foreign peasants, when Chen Shichu first entered Beijing, he also wanted culture without culture, technology without technology. Unable to find a job, he was about to go hungry, so he had to learn from a few fellow villagers and start a small business. Two or three tables, seven or eight benches, a pot of rice porridge, a few drawers of buns, and his breakfast stall opened.
Most of the young people who can go out of their homes and come to the capital are people with high ambitions, and of course, they are not willing to sell early forever. Selling early breakfast was just the first step they took into the city. In fact, one-third of farmers make their first living when they go to the city is to sell breakfast.
For them, making breakfast and selling buns is just a transition. Their minds are not on this bun early, but more on where to find a more profitable business. Because the mind is not on the bun, the bun also has the taste it deserves. Therefore, in the city every
There are many morning stalls on the day, but there are few satisfactory ones.
However, Chen Shichu was different. He only wanted to sell buns, not anything else. This led to a few jokes from the same countrymen who went to the city together: too unambitious! None of their fellow villagers do anything early, because they have found a more profitable industry: or decoration, reselling old electrical appliances, selling fake accessories - which is better than making breakfast and selling buns!
Chen Shichu was still bent on steaming his buns, and he didn't want anything else. His mind was so simple that he had always thought that he might only be able to steam a bun in his life.
In order to steam the buns, Chen Shichu often went to the old bun shop to taste: wontons in Beijing, dogs in Tianjin ignored... Carefully ponder the condiments of others. While steaming the buns, he carefully stared at the heat, when to heat, when to put on fire, when to start the pot... All of this he studied with care.
Kung Fu pays off. Over the past few years, Chen Shichu's research on buns has reached an incomparable point. Within miles of the circle, his buns are delicious and top-notch, and people who come to eat breakfast every morning have to queue up, and the supply of buns is in short supply.
In just a few years, Chen Shichu has developed from a breakfast stall with only a few square meters to a bun shop of 100 square meters, which not only sells breakfast, but also Chinese food and dinner.
Among countless outsiders, Chen Shichu made a fortune by selling buns and became the most successful one. None of the few peasants who came with him in the past were richer than him.
Someone once asked Chen Shichu what was the secret of his success? He was stunned, because he did not understand the meaning of the word secret, he said that he only wanted to sell buns, single-mindedly and dead-heartedly, this may be his secret.
The same is selling buns, some people just use it as a tool to eat, and some people use it as a lifelong career. The degree of care is different, the degree of serious investment is different, and there is a difference between the size of success and the difference between rich and poor.
Impetuous and like to change are a major feature of young people in their 20s. In today's workplace, the speed at which many people change jobs and industries is dizzying. In the eyes of many people, work is at best a temporary job bowl, a springboard for jumping, and it is not worth investing too much in. This is also the fundamental reason why they are absent-minded and do their jobs in general wherever they go. In this chaotic world, who can calm down, simply and seriously do a thing, who is more likely to find a shortcut to success.
In the hit TV series "Soldier Assault", Xu Sanduo was favored by the public. The reason why Xu Sanduo was able to grow from a stubborn soldier to a mighty soldier king was not because of his good intellect or his good relationship, but because of his unique simplicity, concentration and persistence.
Xu Sanduo said more than once: "To live well, to live well is to do meaningful things, and to live meaningful things is to live well." To live well is to do many, many meaningful things. Every time he did something, Xu Sanduo was so serious: "The futon requirements: neat, flat, side octagonal." Flies fly up to split forks, mosquitoes fly up and slip! It was with this almost obsessive earnestness that Xu Sanduo came step by step. In the words of company commander Gao Cheng: "Every little thing he does is like grasping a life-saving straw, and in the end you find that he is already holding a towering tree." Mao Zedong once said: In the world's affairs, we are most afraid of the word serious!
No matter what profession we are engaged in, what kind of position we are in, we must calm down, do things seriously, and strive for excellence. Only in this way can we guarantee the best quality of work and become second to none experts.
In the Italian horse racing world, Perro Kuz is a highly prestigious figure. But can you believe it? He was neither an industrialist in the mall nor a racehorseman galloping on the racetrack, but an old blacksmith who nailed horseshoes.
Friends who are familiar with horse racing know that a horse is indispensable to run fast, a comfortable horse's paw. And that's what Perot does: the horseshoe nailed by his hand keeps the horse in the best shape and runs as fast as he can.
Every time before nailing the horseshoe, Perot always spent several days watching the horse's posture. Even when he was eating and sleeping, his mind was still thinking about the horseshoe. Of course, Perot was able to cleverly nail each horse's hoof to the most suitable horseshoe according to the different characteristics of each horse's hoof. "I've nailed them for the rest of my life, that's what I do, and that's what I care about the most, and from the moment I saw a horse, I was thinking about how to nail it with the right pair of horseshoes." Perot is not good at words, and this is the sentence he says the most.
From the age of eight, he began to follow his master, and Perot had nailed the horseshoe for most of his life. For this, he has earned an extremely high reputation in the industry. Although he is old today, there is still an endless stream of horse racers who come to him to nail horseshoes. Almost every morning, there was a queue outside his house.
A small horseshoe that made an old blacksmith famous. Because he has been in this industry for most of his life, he is too familiar with this industry.
On the other hand, when many people are young, although they are quite ambitious and talented, they always jump from one industry to another, and their jobs are like a marquee.
Because they lack a kind of concentration from beginning to end, a kind of serious energy that is not distracted, they can only end up in obscurity and achieve nothing.
In fact, even if we don't have much intelligence, as long as we can work in an industry for a few years in a serious and down-to-earth manner, we can be called experts in this industry based on the accumulated experience.
In any kind of industry, if we want to succeed, we need to invest seriously. Whether it's making a button or an airplane, as long as we do something, we must do it carefully. As long as it is refined, thoroughly done, and done to the best, wealth and fame will follow.
