Is opportunity a ladder to success? The ladder of success belongs to whom

00 People often feel that the preparation stage is a waste of time, only when the real opportunity comes, and they are not able to grasp it.

00 wait, in order to realize that it is a waste of time to be unprepared.

00 – Roman. Rowland.

00 American Vice ** Henry Wilson was born into a poor family. When he was still in the cradle, poverty had already shown its hideous face. He deeply understood what it was like when he asked his mother for a piece of bread and she had nothing in her hands.

00 He left home at the age of 10 and worked as an apprentice for 11 years, receiving a month of schooling each year, and finally, after 11 years of hard work, he was paid for a cow and six sheep. He exchanged them for $84. From birth until the age of 21, he never spent a single dollar on entertainment, and every dollar was carefully calculated.

He knew exactly what it was like to walk on a long winding mountain road with tired footsteps......

00 In the first month after his 21st birthday, he led a team of men into the deserted forest to harvest large logs there. Every day, he wakes up before the first light of day in the sky, and then works hard until the stars peek out after dark. After a month of hard work day and night, he was paid six dollars, which seemed to him a lot at the time!

Every dollar seemed to him like the big, round, silvery moon at night.

00 In such a desperate predicament, Mr. Wilson is determined not to let any opportunity for self-development and self-improvement slip away. Few people understand the value of leisure time as deeply as he does. He clung to the sporadic time like a **, not letting a minute or second of time slip through his fingers without doing anything.

00 Before he was 21 years old, he had managed to read 1000 good books - think about it, what a difficult task for a farm kid! After leaving the farm, he hiked 100 miles to Natick, Massachusetts, to learn as a cobbler. He walked through Boston, where he could see the Bunker Hill Monument and other historical sites.

The entire trip cost him only one dollar and six cents. A year later, he had already risen to prominence in a debate club in Natick. Later, he gave his famous speech against slavery in the Legislature, less than eight years after his arrival in Massachusetts.

Twelve years later, he entered Congress on an equal footing with the famous Charles Sumner.

00 Anyone's success is not for nothing, and when people are amazed by the aura that surrounds successful people, who will think about the history of struggle behind him?

The first ladder – self-improvement. Self-improvement, as the first step that must be experienced to success, includes strong self-confidence, firm beliefs, an optimistic and positive attitude, love for others, good manners, habits conducive to success, emotional self-control, and a healthy body.

The second ladder – shaping professionalism. Successful people are first and foremost successful social people, and secondly, they are also successful professionals.

The third ladder – setting goals. Building a house requires upfront planning, and building a successful life requires setting correct and ambitious goals.

The fourth ladder is to seize the opportunity. A person's life is full of opportunities, and there is never a shortage of opportunities around people, once you are ready for the opportunities that can be used at any time, you can find and identify the opportunities around you, seize and make reasonable use of these opportunities, then everything has been successful for the most part, and you are only one step away from achieving the goal.

The fifth ladder – perseverance. The road to success is never easy, and all kinds of difficulties may cause people with ideals to stumble many times.

The sixth ladder – constant updates. Once you've achieved a goal, do you stop there? The answer, of course, is "no".
