The inspirational story of successful women: Cai Yong
Cai Yong was a writer, calligrapher, historian and painter in the late Han Dynasty. When Emperor Han Ling was in power, he once talked about Lang. After Dong Zhuo came to power, he was appointed as the left corps commander. Cai Yong's only daughter, Cai Wenji, wrote literary classics such as Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia and Poems of Sorrow and indignation, and her name even appeared in the classic text of ancient education, Saint Amethyst. Although her father was killed at the age of 16, Cai Wenji still became a helpless talented woman.
In order to educate his only daughter, Cai Yong specially wrote "Female Training" for her daughter. Its content takes "dressing up" as a metaphor, expounds the relationship between appearance beauty and spiritual beauty, and emphasizes that "cultivating heart" is more important than "saving face".
He said: "My heart is still in the first place. What is the decoration?" Once the surface is not repaired, it will be dirty; If you don't think about good, evil will enter it. I don't know how to decorate his face if I don't cultivate my mind. It's very confusing. A man's face is unadorned, and a fool calls it ugly. If the heart is not cultivated, the sage will call it evil. Fools call it ugly, while saints call it evil. What can you do? Therefore, if you look at your face, you will think about inner cleanliness; Fu Zhi thinks about the sum of his heart; If you add powder, you will think about the freshness in your heart; Zephyr, think again about the ornament in his heart; If you use a comb, you will think about your inner reasons; If you stand on a bun, you will think about the justice in your heart; If you photograph your temples, you will think of your inner integrity. "
The article points out the common fault of women at that time: only paying attention to the beauty of appearance and not paying attention to the beauty of mind. He said that the human mind is as important as the human head and face. If a person's face is not washed for a day, it will be covered with dirt; As long as a person's heart is not good, bad thoughts will take advantage of it. Most people only know how to wash their faces and shave, but they don't know how to cultivate good moral character. That's really confusing. People's faces are not decorated, and most people think you are too ugly; People have a bad mind, and people with ability and integrity think you are too ugly. Most people think their faces are ugly, but people with high moral integrity think their hearts are ugly. How can they tolerate it? Therefore, when you look at your face in the mirror, you should consider your inner beauty and purity; When applying grease to your face, you should consider the gentleness and kindness of your heart; When applying powder, we should consider the breathing and sucking of the mind; When you put oil on your head, you should consider making your mind shine; When combing your hair, you should consider the combing of your mind; When sorting out the bun, we should consider the correctness of our own ideological style; When arranging sideburns, we should consider the perfection of the mind.
Cai Yong's "Female Training" mainly requires her daughter to strengthen moral cultivation at any time and place, paying attention to both external cultivation and internal cultivation.
Undoubtedly, it was his father's strict family instruction that made Cai Wenji not only the greatest writer and musician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also a thousand-year model of women's personal cultivation.
Inspirational Story of Successful Women: Young and Rich Yang
Judging from his resume, Yang's personal experience is extremely simple. Yang, a native of 198 1 Shunde, had a quiet childhood in his hometown. Most of her middle school life was spent in Guangdong Country Garden School founded by her father.
In the eyes of a subordinate of Yang Guoqiang, Yang is a "girl next door", giving people a "faint sense of intimacy and stability". "She is very simple and ordinary." A former staff member of Country Garden recalled that when I met her, Doudou was a middle school student aged 13. Yang's nickname is "Doudou", and the Country Garden executives who are closely related to Yang's family are all called him by his parents.
In appearance, Yang is like her mother, while her sister is like her father. "Interestingly, so is personality!" The Country Garden executive who has served Yang Guoqiang for seven years said that when she met Yang Shi, she always had a smile on her face, but she wouldn't say much to you.
Before Yang went to study in the United States, in order to strengthen her English listening and speaking ability, Yang Guoqiang specially invited a foreign female student of similar age to eat and live with her. "Yang Zong's education and training for them is more about personality," said a former assistant of Yang Guoqiang.
Yang Guoqiang, who likes to study Li Ka-shing's biography, seems to be imitating Li Ka-shing in raising children. When Yang was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his father took two sisters to the board of directors to attend the audit. After the meeting, Yang Guoqiang will also explain to them why he spoke like this at the meeting and how to criticize his subordinates.
In this example, Yang may gradually understand that she will be the future successor of Country Garden. However, this is not the ideal career for this introverted girl. Yang is far from being the richest man now. She once said in front of her family that her ambition is to be a teacher. "Managing a company, especially a big one like Country Garden, is not necessarily Miss Yang's initial interest, at least not before going to the United States." The above-mentioned Country Garden executives said.
On the contrary, my sister Yang Ziying is more active. She once said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "In the future, my sister will be in charge of the company and I will be in charge of the school!" Yang Ziying is now studying psychology at Ohio State University. In the autumn of 200 1, Yang, who graduated from Country Garden International School, also attended the school. Four years later, she got a degree in marketing and logistics.
"I was surprised to hear that she is the richest man. She is very low-key, and almost no one knows her in the circle of international students in China. " Yang Xuefeng, a graduate of Ohio State University, said.
Yang, who has not been interviewed by mainland media so far, is deeply curious about his personal problems. According to the grapevine, Yang got married with last year. What kind of lucky man married our young and talented richest man? Some people even say that her husband is from Harbin. This group of pictures obtained exclusively by e-Netcom Video Network undoubtedly confirms that the richest woman in the Mainland is indeed married. The wedding photos show that the young richest woman is tall and has a good temperament, and always smiles in front of people. Besides, her husband wears glasses and looks very gentle. This year (2008), 27-year-old Yang ranked third in the 2008 Hurun Report with a wealth of 33 billion yuan. Yang was the richest man in 2007, and her wealth shrank by nearly 75% in one year. In addition to real estate, she also invested in the energy field. Yang has cashed in 3.2 billion yuan in these years. In April 2007, Country Garden was listed in Hong Kong. Her father Yang Guoqiang is the founder of Country Garden. In 2005, Yang Guoqiang transferred his shares to his second daughter, Yang Yanhui, who graduated from Ohio State University.
Yang graduated from Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in marketing and logistics. In 2005, he joined Country Garden as the manager of purchasing department. Yang is now the executive director of the company, mainly responsible for the overall procurement supervision, enterprise resource management and participation in formulating development strategies.
In fact, Yang is not only the spokesman of Yang family fortune. According to insiders of Country Garden Company, as early as three years ago, Yang Guoqiang went to the United States for medical treatment, and the management team of Country Garden Group was completely taken over by Yang. Yang, who was only 22 years old at that time, joined Country Garden, bringing a brand-new management team from the United States, which largely replaced the original entrepreneurial team in the Yang Guoqiang era.
People in the real estate industry who have had contact with Yang commented that Yang has the ability, vigilance and ability to control things, and she will let Country Garden complete the transformation from a family business to a modern enterprise. Country Garden has won many suburban plots in Tianjin, Beijing and other cities as well as Jiangsu, Hunan and other provinces in the past. Now Country Garden has gradually shifted from factory mode to personalized production on the premise of a large amount of accumulation in the early stage.
An executive of a real estate company who has dealt with Country Garden for many years said that Country Garden products used to be a "new socialist countryside", but after seeing the holiday peninsula property built by Country Garden in Qingyuan, it will be found that this is quite different from the previous impression of Country Garden. "The holiday peninsula with 27 holes of golf is also a super market of tens of thousands of acres, but the design level is already very high and very individual."
According to many Country Garden employees, Yang Guoqiang and Yang are not people who want to show their faces. Only a few senior leaders have the opportunity to meet the executive director, and ordinary employees basically have no chance to know this "small boss".
Yang's husband, who graduated from Tsinghua University and also had the experience of studying in the United States, was arranged to marry Yang Xi. At the end of 2006, Yang Guoqiang held a grand wedding banquet for Yang at Country Garden Hotel. According to people attending the wedding reception, the groom's father is a deputy department-level cadre in a northeast province, and the boss Yang is "very proud" and "very satisfied" with his daughter's marriage.
Country Garden was founded by the current chairman Yang Guoqiang in the early 1990s. Yang Guoqiang was born as a contractor and kept a low profile. He hardly gives interviews to the media. However, the internal shareholder structure of Country Garden is a typical family business, and many major shareholders are related to Yang Guoqiang by blood or in-laws. In the Hurun Report in 2006, Country Garden * * had ten shareholders, six of whom were Yang from Shunde.
Inspirational Story of Successful Women: Yang's Road to Entrepreneurship
Her name is Yang. In 2003, due to the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, she faced the test of being laid off. She refused to be at the mercy of fate, challenged herself from the frustration of being laid off, bravely broke a path and found her life coordinates again. Let's take a look at the entrepreneurial story of this female entrepreneur.
Yang's original work unit was Panjin Jiuhua Company Guest House. From the day I learned that the enterprise was going to be restructured and the hostel was going to be bought out, my sisters were like kites with broken lines, looking for a way out everywhere. Yang, 38, is determined to do something, rent a guest house and take everyone with him.
Next, the hardships of starting a business were unexpected to Yang. Indoor facilities were in disrepair, pipes were aging, lights were short-circuited, restaurants were covered with asbestos tiles, the edges of wooden windows rotted, the ground returned from time to time, and dry places were often not seen. After careful consideration, Yang decided to redecorate and show it to customers with a new look. She took out the money to buy out the length of service and all the savings at home, and even turned out the lucky money accumulated by her son during the New Year. But money is still not enough. I have to take my parents' pension with me. After learning about Yang's actions, the two sisters were very moved, and they also proposed to raise funds to overcome difficulties. Everyone voluntarily took out laid-off money to buy out the length of service. Although there is not much money, at this time, these funds are undoubtedly "timely rain" for saving this hotel that is on the verge of paralysis.
In order to save money, many jobs are done by ourselves: painting walls, scraping white, pasting wood grain paper ... When we are really too busy, sisters take their lovers and friends to work together, changing heating pipes, changing lines and so on. For more than two months, almost no one has rested. We also discussed giving the company a harmonious name "Xianghe". Sisters who leave work with dust every day are still happy. With the support of so many good sisters, can you live up to everyone without opening a business? So ... Yang shared weal and woe with everyone, brainstorming and overcoming one difficulty after another.
Due to the remote geographical location, after the reopening of Xianghe Guest House, business was not good for a while. It has been losing money for two months in a row, and the end of the month is coming. Not only are wages not settled, but also liquidity is in short supply. Yang was anxious and angry, his gums were swollen and his voice could not speak. When her husband saw her like this, he said, when dad died, he gave me 10 thousand yuan to buy a cemetery. Please accept it first! She took the money with tears in her eyes. Later, the district government, relevant departments and streets came to the guest house for investigation, allowing them to enjoy the preferential policies for the reemployment of laid-off workers. With the support of the government, she and her sisters were greatly encouraged and they saw hope.
Everyone is bent on running this newly established guest house. These loving sisters treat strangers like their own relatives. Once, a guest suddenly fainted in the hall, and everyone took him to the hospital at the first time. He also paid the hospitalization fee for him and took turns to take care of his family from other places. The spirit of finding money is also reflected in the guest house. Once, the waiter found an envelope under the pillow while cleaning the room. When he opened it, there was 1000 yuan in it. The waiter ran downstairs to chase, but there was no sign of the guests at this time. Later, according to the guest's accommodation registration, he contacted the owner and handed the money to the guest in time. Sometimes I meet some people who make trouble after drinking. They are very kind and polite. In other hotels, the general service staff are young people, but here, they see a group of older women, with an average age of more than 40 years old, but the hotel has begun to have vitality with good service attitude and frank service enthusiasm. Sisters proudly said; We have a pioneer, not only re-employed, but also realized our life value.
Nine peaceful guest house stopped, and Yang didn't stop. In April 2007, Xianghe Catering Skills Training School was established. Provided professional training such as "chef, pastry chef, service personnel". So far, more than 2000 laid-off workers have been trained for the society, so that they have learned a skill and arranged jobs for some people, which has won unanimous praise from the society. In 2008, with the support of the municipal government and relevant departments, another building of 1.700 square meters was purchased, and the Xianghe service center was established to serve the community residents together with the community. 20 12 June, the "Jiahe Business Hotel" with more than 40 rooms was established and has been operating well since its opening. After 10 years of hard work and rolling development, the enterprise has begun to take shape. From the initial wage loss to the current annual turnover of nearly 2 million yuan, it has achieved profitability, from the initial government tax exemption to the current annual tax payment of 65438+ 10,000 yuan. The number of employees in the enterprise has grown from the initial 26 to more than 60, most of whom are laid-off women workers in their forties.
After 10 years of hard work and rolling development, Yang and her enterprises have been recognized by the government and society, and have been successively rated as AAA-level credit unit in Liaoning Province, the best credit enterprise in Liaoning Province, the key support unit of the Economic Committee of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, the best demonstration household in Panjin City, the employment and reemployment resettlement base in Panjin City, the Red Flag Collective in the March 8th District and the civilized credit enterprise in the district. Yang was also awarded the honors of "Advanced Individual of Liaoning Province in Promoting Employment by Trade Unions", "Advanced Individual of Liaoning Province in May 1st", "Model Worker of Panjin City", "March 8th Red Flag Bearer", "Pioneer of Youth Entrepreneurship in Panjin City", "Top Ten Female Workers in the District" and "Female Model Worker in the District".
Yang told reporters that without the support of the party, the government and all walks of life, she would accomplish nothing. Over the past few years, she has donated more than 60,000 yuan to Wenchuan disaster areas, women's federations, federations of industry and commerce and revolutionary organizations.
Yang has always been full of enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and is not discouraged when encountering setbacks. At the beginning of the establishment of the enterprise, the loss could not be paid, and the desperate situation did not retreat. After the improvement of the guest house, I lost no time in setting up a catering training school, Xianghe Service Center and Jiahe Business Hotel. Two or three years later, I took a big step and always maintained the passion of starting a business and expanding the scale. Entrepreneurship requires dreams and more efforts. The success of the enterprises she founded is the result of step by step efforts. In order to save money, she often goes to the market to wholesale vegetables at three in the morning. Yang had two major operations, but before she recovered from the hospital, she went to the unit to understand the situation and deal with problems. Her enterprise can be today thanks to a group of laid-off sisters working with her. They share the same fate as Yang, and both regard business as their own. Yang loves her sisters and they treat her sincerely. When the enterprise is in trouble, they mobilize their relatives to help the enterprise and lend their money to the enterprise. In business operation, they give full play to their intelligence, work hard and build a cohesive team. Yang keeps learning and enriches himself. She said that only by studying can we broaden our horizons, not stand still and keep up with the requirements of the times. She took advantage of various opportunities to learn from others, books, and actively participated in various social activities organized by relevant departments. Now, she has a new idea-to build a nursing home and do more good for the society.
