Examples of successful people 1: Ingrid? Bergman
Ingrid? When Bergman 18 years old, he dreamed of becoming famous in the theater. However, her guardian Uncle Otto wants her to be a salesman or someone's secretary. For this reason, the two were at loggerheads, and Uncle Otto promised to give her a chance to take the exam at the Royal Academy of Drama. If you fail the exam, you must obey his arrangement.
In order to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Drama, Ingrid praised? Mann also put a lot of thought into it. On the one hand, she carefully prepared a sketch for herself, performing a happy peasant girl and teasing a rural boy. She rehearsed the sketch carefully over and over again. On the other hand, a few days before the exam, she sent a brown envelope to the Royal Theatre. If she fails, the brown envelope will be returned. If she passes, send her a white envelope and tell her the date of the next exam. During the exam, Ingrid? Bergman ran two steps, jumped to the center of the stage in the air, smiled happily, and then said the first line. At this time, she quickly glanced at the judges and was surprised to find that the judges were chatting, talking loudly to each other and gesturing. See this, ingrid? Bergman was so disappointed that he even forgot his lines. She also heard the chairman of the jury say to her, Stop it! Thank you? Miss, next, next please start. ? Ingrid? Bergman was completely disappointed after hearing this. She didn't seem to see or hear anything. She stayed on the stage for thirty seconds, and then hurried off the stage. She felt that the only thing she could do was to throw herself into the river. She stood by the river, ready to end her life. When she looked at the river, she found it was dark, bright and dirty. At this time, it suddenly occurred to her that when she died, she would be dirty all over and have to swallow the dirty water after being dragged ashore by others. She hesitated again: hmm! This will not work. ? So he gave up the idea of suicide and went home. The next day, someone sent her a white envelope. White envelope? She has a white envelope. She really received the accepted white envelope. After many years, has ingrid become a star? Bergman met the judge. When chatting, he asked: Please tell me why you were so unkind to me in the first exam. Just because you don't like me that much, I want to kill myself. ? The judge doesn't like you staring at her with your eyes wide open. Dear girl, you are crazy! As soon as you jumped out of the wing of the stage and came to the stage, standing there and smiling at us, we turned around and said to each other, well, she was chosen. Look how confident she is! Look at her typhoon! We don't need to waste another second, there are more than a dozen people to test! Call the next one! ?
Many people always give up their dreams when they encounter difficulties or setbacks. In fact, a person's dream is a question of living with himself. Never give up. Even on the verge of life and death, as long as you can catch a piece of driftwood, write on it? Dream? Two words, as long as there is hope for life, let dreams and life and death be with * * *. If you live, your dream will come true.
Successful example 2: Guo Jingjing
Guo Jingjing spent five years in Baoding Le Kai Primary School. At that time, Guo Jingjing joined the diving team.
At first, Guo Jingjing's knees couldn't stretch her toes straight, and her legs were particularly hard. In order to practice ligaments, sit on a tiger stool. After an exercise, Guo Jingjing broke her leg and wanted to go home to recuperate. But coach Li Fang is afraid to go back? Are you heartbroken? Because she thinks Guo Jingjing is extroverted and lacks concentration during training, she needs constant reminding. Therefore, Li Fang let Guo Jingjing eat and live in the swimming pool, observe other people's training while recovering, and mainly put her heart together. During that time, Guo Jingjing was lying in Xiao Mu's bed with a splint tied to her leg. While recovering, I watched the training of the players and listened to the coach's speech.
Even though she was injured in the swimming pool, she still did her homework at night. Guo Jingjing trains while studying, and can finish her homework every day. This once made the class teacher Wu Wei very strange and asked her when she would finish it. Guo Jingjing said it was time to rest. Noon and afternoon are the time to do homework after training and before dinner. I'll write in the toilet if I can't finish it, because the dormitory will turn off the lights then. In this regard, Guo Jingjing's grandmother is very proud to say that our family Jingjing has two brains, one diving and the other learning. ?
1996 After the Olympic Games, Guo Jingjing suffered a leg fracture and an open fracture during training. According to Yu Fen, then deputy head coach of China diving team, a Guangdong coach turned on the light during training. He was going to turn on the right light, but he turned off the left light. At that time, Guo Jingjing was jumping, but she couldn't see it in mid-air and stepped on it. So he went bankrupt. This is quite a blow.
In Beijing, the usual treatment is to nail steel nails and take them out one year later. For athletes, more operations will affect their training. So she took conservative treatment, and Guo Jingjing in plaster returned to Hebei.
1996,65438+broke his leg in February, and the next year was the National Games. Guo Jingjing, who chose conservative treatment, took more than five months to recover slowly. When the leg is healed, the National Games will be five months away. During her recovery, she grew 5 cm taller, gained 20 kg in weight and had thinner legs.
After the injury, the next step is devil training. I get up at 6 o'clock every day, practice until 8 o'clock, and then have breakfast. At noon, everyone else is taking a nap, but she is running outside in a sports suit. Running on the road under the scorching sun and white light. Continue intensive training in the afternoon. The summer of 1997 is also the most bitter period of Guo Jingjing's training. Li Fang told Guo Jingjing: You can take part in the Olympic Games. If you give up, you will regret it all your life. ?
In the preliminaries of the National Games, she still watched the game with crutches, and the plaster has not been taken. At that time, everyone thought that it was impossible to achieve good results in the National Games in a few months. But it will be different at the National Games. Guo Jingjing lost weight 15kg. Legs are also coarse and fine. Guo Jingjing left a deep impression on the audience. Li Fang told reporters that even the referee said that she never expected to recover so well. Guo Jingjing, who came back from injury, won the runner-up in the 3m springboard. Good results have been achieved.
Successful Example 3: Jing M.Guo
Good writing and clever brain are the reasons why Jing M.Guo is liked. In fact, once you have face-to-face contact with this exquisite young man, you have to admit that the success of this writer and businessman, who is mixed with literati temperament and elegance, is not only due to luck.
Jing M.Guo always dresses up like an entertainment star when she appears in public. Even in the face of strangers, you will say hello politely. When dealing with the media, he will be passionate and sharp-tongued? The 27-year-old young man seems to be able to do well in any public situation and behave just right.
Now, besides writing books, Jing M.Guo mainly focuses on editing most novels and cartoons. His current studio is a 300-square-meter editorial department, with Swarovski crystal lamps and modern decorations, and young employees wear fashionable clothes to shuttle through it.
Jing M. Guo lives in such a comfortable petty bourgeoisie atmosphere every day, compiling fairy-tale bestsellers and exquisite cartoons, making more money and dreaming of the day when the company goes public.
It all happened so fast.
? Mumuluhou, respect his virtue. ? When Jing M.Guo was born, his grandfather learned from The Book of Songs? Did you pick it from truffles? Jingming? What does this word, as the name of a grandson, mean? Brilliant character? .
However, Jing M.Guo was not born in a scholarly family. His parents are working-class people in Zigong, Sichuan. There are some books at home, but not many, and his parents have never deliberately cultivated his interest and ability in literature. Just, what did Guo Jingjing say? If I ask them for pocket money to buy extra-curricular books, they will never refuse. ?
Perhaps it is this tolerant family atmosphere that allows Jing M. Guo to breathe freely. He saved pocket money to buy his favorite Youth Literature and Art and Andersen's fairy tales in this distant country of Denmark.
When he was a child, his Chinese and composition scores were always among the best, which made him confident to try to make contributions. From 65438 to 0997, when he was in the second grade of junior high school, he published his first novel "Loneliness" in the national public publication "Life Sixteen and Seven". ? I thought writing poetry was very simple at that time, but now I know it is not simple. At that time, I thought poetry was short, pithy and easy to understand. ?
He was greatly encouraged by the experience of submitting the manuscript, but he felt that the length of the poem was too short. The impulse to tell stories led him to write essays and novels, and participated in the new concept composition competition for two consecutive years. ? Because when I won the prize, I was a sophomore. At that time, it was stipulated that senior three graduates would participate in the new concept composition competition and win the first prize. When they entered the university, they would get some care, but they must be senior three. The next year, I took part in the new concept composition competition, but I didn't get extra points for the first prize. ?
In senior three, he wrote "Fantasy City", which was only a short story at first. He didn't expect that such a short story would completely change his life track. In 2003, the fantasy novel Fantasy City was published based on the short story Fantasy City. In 2003, it went on the market at the end of 1 and sold 840,000 pieces (more than 1.3 million pieces have been sold so far). It all happened so fast that he was caught off guard.
"Fantasy City" has brought him nearly one million dollars, and its popularity is hard to measure with money.
He said:? 17 years old, infinitely brave. ?
Entrepreneurship is not achieved overnight.
Jing M.Guo, sitting on the sofa in the company reception room, looks more like a college student. His thin, yellow hair swept across his forehead, and his cheeks and shoulders were thinner than the previous two years. This seemingly fragile little boss is already one of the richest writers in China.
Jing M. Guo, who is also the chairman of the World Culture Co., Ltd. and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Beijing Publishing Center of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, often occupies half of the country. In just a few years, his company has grown like a tropical plant. The original offices in Jing 'an Temple and Dalian Road can no longer accommodate more and more employees? From the first few people's studios to the publishing company that contributes 450 million books and codes to Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House every year, the scenery can be described as prosperous.
However, just like the development track of almost all entrepreneurs, Jing M.Guo's success today was not achieved overnight.
The success of "Fantasy City" didn't make him comfortable with the status quo. In an online game called Legend of Wonderland, he met Hansy, a senior three student in Daqing. Hansy is good at design. She has a literature website. Jing M. Guo saw it and appreciated it, so he became friends.
One day, Chang Jing, vice president of Literature and Art Publishing House, invited Jing M.Guo to dinner. During the dinner, Jing M.Guo said intentionally or unintentionally: I want to have my own platform to help my friends publish their works together. ? The listener was interested. Soon, Literature and Art Publishing House decided to cooperate with Jing M.Guo to make some attempts in the publication of youth literature.
On June 6th, 2004, it was the 2 1 birthday of M. Guo in Beijing, and it was also the day when he started a business with five friends, including Hansy and Trace. Have they been established? Island? Studio, English name? Island? .
The success of "Lonely Island" series won Jing M.Guo the first pot of gold in his career. His idea at that time was also very simple. Because I prefer to publish, I hope to spread my ideas. I think the publishing industry in China is actually very traditional in many aspects. Although it can't be said that it is backward, it lacks a proper amount of fresh blood. I wish there were more and fresher things? .
He said:? As long as good design and excellent articles bring visual impact and reading enjoyment to readers, they will certainly do well. ? Although he didn't have much money at that time, he was confident in himself.
? Island? Studio members rented a140m2 three-bedroom apartment in Zhabei District, Shanghai as a studio, where they ate and lived. After work, eating and karaoke are the greatest pleasures for Jing M.Guo and his friends. But when you work, you work. For words, illustrations and typesetting, Jing M. Guo is very demanding, even pursuing the ultimate perfection, which makes partners and employees feel pressure. I still remember the trace of the current deputy general manager of World Culture Company. One night, he heard someone sobbing. When he turned around, it was Xiao Si (Jing M.Guo's nickname). He cried and complained. There are so many things and I am so busy that I am not in the state of writing myself. Why bother?
Fortunately, Lonely Island was a great success as soon as it was published, from the initial 40,000 to 50,000 copies to 200,000 copies per issue, which brought rolling financial resources to both parties. At that time, Jing M.Guo was selected as the 94th celebrity in China Forbes.
Jing M.Guo soon revealed the qualities that an excellent publisher should possess: a keen sense of the market, an accurate judgment of the visual style of books, and an indispensable professional quality. The mark says:? At that time, we could only paint by one person, typeset by one person, write the manuscript in the fourth grade, and I reviewed the manuscript. Often typesetting and printing all night.
In 2006, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House and Jing M.Guo jointly invested. Island? Based on the studio, Aike Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was established. Jing M.Guo and his partners also moved out of the apartment where they lived, ate and worked, and moved into the office of 170 square meter business building. Everything is starting to get back on track.
In June 5438+10, the most novel, published in cooperation with Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, began trial publication. He said:? When I decide to do something, I must be sure that I will succeed. ?
China Forbes magazine for the second time in 2005? Celebrity list? 92nd place, this ranking is two places higher than the previous year, which makes him very happy.
His books won the screams of fans, but sometimes he heard negative satire and criticism. He seems indifferent to these things, but in fact, the pressure is accumulated in his heart. He once complained to mark: Why do people only see my shortcomings, but not what I have done? Doing this is really tiring. ? When I said this, tears filled my eyes.
Sometimes, he becomes another one? Tyrant? . In pursuit of perfection, he will tear off his face and shout at him loudly: no manuscript is satisfactory! ? The quality of this first trial is very poor! ? I don't want to see it after reading the beginning! ? This bad temper laid the groundwork for the company's earthquake in the future.
In 2007, while the circulation of the most novel increased, an internal storm was brewing Hansy, a veteran of Eco-Tech and then the artistic director of Eco-Tech, chose to leave because she was dissatisfied with some practices of Jing M. Guo, and co-founded Alice magazine with Sunny and Bu Furen who were originally in Eco-Tech. In 20 10, the cooperation between Alice and Century Wenjing came to an end, and Hansy returned to Jing M. Guo to be responsible for the design of the magazine Literary Appreciation edited by Dian.
Controversy, while accepting.
From the initial five people to more than 30 employees and the scale of two branches, the best company in Jing M. Guo is doing well and its business is booming.
Novelty occupies 1/3 of the China youth literature magazine market. Jing M.Guo? These three words have also become a hot-stamping signboard, and more than 20 writers under his command are also behind them? Jing M.Guo? This big tree likes to enjoy the cool.
Although he signed so many writers, Jing M.Guo said that his selection criteria were very strict. ? Writing well comes first. On the premise of writing well, we need good opportunities and platforms. The role of our company is to promote this work as much as possible, but whether this work is popular or not depends on the work itself. This is why although the company has signed 70 or 80 writers, not everyone's works are very popular. ?
On 20 10, echo company changed its name to? The world? Jing M Guo's explanation is:? Because the business scope has expanded. ? Specific? Scope of business? He gave no details. Echo company has not been abolished, but continues to exist as a branch.
Under normal circumstances, Jing M.Guo arrives at Dalian Road Echo Branch in the morning and reaches the company headquarters in the afternoon. In fact, his time in Shanghai is only about 10 days a month, and he spends the rest of his time signing books and doing programs in other places.
20 10 Beijing m. Guo ranked with 23 million income? Rich list of Chinese writers? Second place, this is his fifth time on the list since he was selected into the list (ranked fifth) with 8.5 million RMB in 2006. Among them, he even topped the list in 2007 and 2008.
Since Zigong, who is famous for Jiang Jie and dinosaurs, came to Shanghai alone, wealth has not become an oppressive problem for him. He said:? Eight years ago, I couldn't stand separation, loneliness and growth. Now, I have almost everything. He lives casually and never lacks topics. In the face of controversy, he is not as anxious and nervous as he was at the beginning of his debut.
Soon? Standing at thirty? Jing M.Guo is holding the tail of youth and coming step by step. This is Jing M.Guo, a young man who plays multiple roles between business and literature. He has an infinite future to realize his dreams in business, individuals and teams. Of course, he is also writing a fantasy myth about the publication of China Youth Literature.
