In the past few days, the internet celebrity live broadcast sister Wei Ya has been on the hot search again. The reason is that the dress and sitting posture when she was invited to meet by the local leaders in her hometown were criticized by netizens as unsightly and not suitable for such occasions.
Indeed, if strictly speaking, Wei Ya's dress and sitting posture are not particularly formal and formal, but I am thinking, if Wei Ya is not a live broadcast with over 100 million goods, will anyone care about her small details in these aspects?
It is because she is too successful in live streaming with goods, so it has attracted so much attention, raising her hands and feet, every word and deed, will be paid attention to, amplified.
While many people criticize Via, I wonder, what good is it for us to criticize her? It is better to take the opportunity to learn more about her successful path or method, for our use, so that we ourselves can reach her achievements and heights as soon as possible, if so, even if they are scolded by netizens, I think many people should be willing to do it.
So why did Via have today's success? I think that in addition to her talent in selling goods and the efforts beyond ordinary people, she should also do one thing well for decades - selling goods!
In 2003, 17-year-old Wei Ya opened a clothing store in the Beijing Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market, and with her stunning clothing matching, she earned 100,000 yuan in three months.
In 2005, Via was briefly in the entertainment industry for a short time because of her participation in "Super Idol". But later, because he did not like the atmosphere of the entertainment industry, he chose to leave.
Later, Wei Ya opened clothing stores in Xi'an and Taobao successively, and finally became famous on Taobao Live. Known as "Taobao live broadcast sister", the queen of goods.
To this day, Wei Ya can still sit firmly in the position of a sister with live broadcasting, and she has been insisting on clothing sales and live broadcasting for many years, and the accumulated familiarity with the product and the grasp of the essence of product sales are inseparable. So now, no matter what she sells on live, she can get her hands on it effortlessly.
The experience of Via, the queen of goods, has made us understand that decades of insisting on doing one thing and doing one thing to the extreme may be the best shortcut to success.

The other day I saw a video of Andy Lau's interview. The host asked him, what do you think is the reason for your success?
Andy Lau said: "Persistence". Then he gave a few examples of his past experiences of fighting.
He said that Tan Yonglin also felt that I couldn't sing, and Huang Xia, a master of filler words, also said that I couldn't write songs. This is a process that everyone goes through. But what about me, you say I can't reach it, I will stick to it, tomorrow to achieve, the day after tomorrow, this is always OKAY, right? Or I can hold on until one day you believe it.
To that end, he also gave an example. He said that the well-known Hong Kong director Chen Kexin had always felt that my acting skills were too ordinary, but I was still here three years later, five years later, and ten years later.
Until the end, he really asked me to shoot a scene. After shooting, I will feel, well, I really can feel your acting skills or your progress.
Andy Lau finally concluded: "I think you find someone you believe in and then stick to it all the time. The proudest thing in life is to find yourself and then stick to yourself."

Yang Huishan, now a very well-known glass queen, was already a popular actress in the 80s before she devoted herself to the production of glass crafts. She is the best actress of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, the first film queen in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, and has been named one of the "Top 100 Stars of Chinese Films in One Half a Year".
At the peak of her acting career, she did a shocking thing - the shadow. She describes the feeling at the time: "As I felt more and more exhausted and displaced, I knew it was time to let go. The spotlight can never be on you alone, and the brilliance in front of the stage is like giving you a very high ladder, and when you reach mid-air, it will let you come down on your own."
After the shadow, Yang Huishan and his wife were once confused and did not know how to go on the road ahead. But by chance, she discovered the exquisiteness of the glass artwork and the shock it brought to her soul, but unfortunately, the production process of these exquisite glass products has long been lost in China, and the glass products she sees now are imported from abroad. So she and her husband decided to devote themselves to the production of glass products and pass on this long-lost craft.
Although in the process of learning to make glass products, there are many difficulties, and even once people felt that this is an impossible task, because, without the master to teach you, there is no production method that can be referred to and learned, everything can only be learned from scratch.
But Yang Huishan firmly believes that as long as the road is right, don't be afraid of the distance.
Finally, at the insistence of the couple, they explored the "dewaxing casting method" that had been lost in the Western Han Dynasty, which was a first-class technique in the world.
Nowadays, Yang Huishan's name is synonymous with "Chinese glass", and enjoys a high reputation in the field of glass artworks in China and even in the world.
I often think that yang Huishan, if she had not retreated from the rapids along the way to acting, perhaps there would not have been the world-renowned "Glass Queen" today, right?
It can be seen that insisting on doing one thing for decades, especially what you love, can indeed achieve a person, just like Andy Lau, like Yang Huishan, like Haruki Murakami, like Via.

In the Japanese restaurant industry, there is a person whose name is almost a household name.
He is the god of Japanese sushi, Jiro Ono. Like Andy Lau, Yang Huishan, and Wei Ya mentioned earlier, Ono Jiro has insisted on doing only one thing for decades - sushi.
Today, Ono's store is almost the same as when it first opened, but his reputation in the Japanese food industry, especially the Japanese sushi industry, is almost like a god.
And all this is only because he has been doing one thing for decades, honing a skill - making sushi.
"Look forward, look beyond yourself. Always work hard and improve my craft, this is what he taught me," ono's eldest son, Akiichi, said of the influence his father had on him.
Even now, as Ono's fame grows, foodies from all over the world travel thousands of miles from all over the world to his sushi restaurants from all over the world and from various countries just to taste the sushi made by the god of sushi. But Ono Jiro, still spoiled, stood in front of the production stage every day and made his sushi.
As he himself said in an interview: "Once you choose a career, you have to be fully engaged in your work. You have to love your job and never complain. You have to hone your skills for the rest of your life, which is the secret of success and the key to being respected by people. ”

Today, in this noisy era, many young people are squeezing their heads and hollowing out their minds, looking for success. But as everyone knows, success is hidden in the simplest and most ordinary things around us.
As one philosopher said, we always look outward for happiness and success, but we don't know that the key to success is always in our own hands.
Invest day after day, spend minutes and minutes of effort, and make a craft well, just like Yang Huishan, the queen of glass; make a sushi good job, just like ono Jiro, the god of sushi; do an air conditioner well, just like the gree goddess Dong Mingzhu; do a good job of a mobile phone, just like Apple mobile phone founder Jobs, Xiaomi mobile phone founder Lei Jun.
There are also some, perhaps more ordinary than most, who have also achieved great success.
Peng Min, a takeaway brother who became a hit at the Chinese Poetry Conference in previous years, has now joined a well-known educational institution;
There have been decades like a day, just to make a dumpling, from a street stall to the founder of Wan Chai Pier of Hong Kong's Dumpling Queen, Zang Jianhe;
And, for decades, Tao Huabi, the founder of lao ganma, who made a bottle of hot sauce to the extreme.
So you see, in ordinary things, there is the key to how a mortal person can transcend the divine.
I hope that each of us can make good use of this key in our hands and send ourselves to the ideal life we want.
