Go back to 1990 to start a business

Nine o'clock sharp.

Xia Chuan walked onto the podium, and there was a thunderous applause and cheers.

Regardless of skin color, gender, or age, these students are extremely fanatical, even if they are white people. It is true that racial discrimination in this country is true, but we will always respect the strong and worship heroes.

Xia Chuan smiled and walked to the table. There were actually more than a dozen microphones placed on the table. It looked dazzling. There were all kinds of TV stations. The cameras of the media reporters were all around the students, but zooming in did not affect anything.

Behind Xia Chuan was the professor's chair, where dozens of teachers, school directors, and principals were sitting, looking expectantly.

Unlike other speakers, they came to listen to Xia Chuan's speech voluntarily. Other speeches that were given by the president were forced by the principal. The more famous the professors were, the more likely they were to come, otherwise the president would lose face.

Xia Chuan pressed his hands, the applause stopped, and he smiled and said: "Thank you Harvard students for your enthusiasm, but this number is beyond my understanding. Are there so many students at Harvard?"

Someone below immediately shouted: "We are from Hemp Rope Science and Technology!"

"Okay, I would also like to thank the students of Ma Sheng Polytechnic." After saying that, he said sideways: "At the same time, I would like to thank President Neil Rudenstine and the professors and directors for the invitation, which gave me the opportunity to communicate with students from the highest universities in the world."

Students and teachers responded with another round of applause.

Xia Chuan returned to the topic and smiled: "The principal told me privately that he did a survey and said what you want to hear most is how to copy my success?"

There was laughter below.

"But I don't understand, how can you replicate success? How can you seize the opportunity that has passed? I was speculating in foreign exchange in Vladivostok last year. Are you going to do it again? Then don't come to me if you lose everything."

Everyone burst into laughter.

“Let’s be realistic and talk about how to succeed in the future.

Everyone's understanding of success may be different.Two years ago, my mother's understanding was to go to college, and I would be successful if I could go to college.

I did have the opportunity to go to college.But on the last day of the college entrance examination, when I walked to the school gate, I threw my admission ticket into the trash can.

That was my hardest choice.

If I went to college, the burden would fall entirely on my mother. Her salary at that time was dozens of dollars, but because she treated my father, my mother borrowed more than 1 yuan in debt, and eventually my father passed away.

Even though it was so difficult, my mother wanted me to go to college. She believed that this was the only way to succeed.

In the social environment at that time, there was really no second way.

But I failed my mother's expectations and the expectant eyes.

The moment I threw away my admission ticket, I didn't even dare to look back, for fear that my mother would be behind me.

The dilemma I faced at that time was that I had to hide it from my mother. Before the matter was exposed, that is, within a month, before I was beaten to death by my mother, I had to let my mother see that I was successful, even if I only made 1000 yuan. I also had the courage to tell my mother: Look, I am not a ham to be cut into pieces, I am a whole pig. "

The students below were originally moved and heartbroken, but suddenly burst into laughter.

"So, when I walked through the school gate, I set a small goal for myself, to earn 1000 yuan first.

It is important to have small goals.When I made up my mind, I had no idea that I just needed a goal.

It cost 1000 yuan and it only took me an hour.At that time, the monthly salary of ordinary workers was only a few dozen yuan, and it is still the same even now.

But for that one hour of success, I spent another hour thinking, preparing, and investigating.

The idea at that time was very simple, people couldn’t make money because they had no money.Those who have money are enterprises, and I must earn this 1000 yuan from a certain factory director.

I rode my bicycle and looked along the street, and finally chose the paper mill.Then he sold an imaginary product, paper drawing, to the factory director.

At that time, I drew two sketches with a pen and explained them to her. She gave me 500 yuan.

When I was excited, I gave her an innovative product, which was wet wipes.I don’t know if they exist in the United States, but they do exist. I’ve seen them at the Hilton. "

A student below said: "There are wet wipes!"

"Oh, that's great. The world has changed because of me. Even if it's little by little, it will be a better place after all. I had a capital of 500 yuan at that time, and I immediately felt confident and ambitious.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared a meal and was waiting for me. I saw meat in the dish, which was obviously a reward for me.

My mother asked me how I did in the exam, and I said: I did great in the exam.

After half a month, I had already earned 10,000+, and finally I couldn’t hide it anymore because I paid off the debt.

When I confessed, my mother angrily picked up the broom and gave me a good beating: "How dare you eat meat before taking the exam?" "

There was a roar of laughter.

“What I want to say is, don’t let your current abilities limit your imagination of the future!

Achieving goals is like climbing a mountain, and improving ability is a dynamic process. Even if you don’t squeeze yourself, you won’t appear. I didn’t have the ability now, but now I want to say, never let your current thinking limit your future. Thinking. "

Everyone immediately fell into deep thought, and they would implement every word Xia Chuan said as a golden rule.

"Sometimes because you are insecure and inexperienced, you will easily accept other people's expectations, standards, and values. However, you can use your lack of experience to create your own path.

Don't worry about how things should be done, just define the path based on your own thinking.Accept our lack of experience as an asset.Your road, even if it is unfamiliar and bumpy, will be completely your own.

But simply having a goal is not enough.

If the world makes you unhappy, change it.

The challenge for our generation is to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

No one knows how to do it from the start, and ideas don't come fully formed initially.Only as you work does it gradually become clear that all you need to do is get started.

With goals, or ideals, you have to be prepared to be misunderstood.Anyone who works for a larger vision is likely to be called a lunatic, even if you ultimately succeed.

But if you don’t take risks, everything in life will be worthless.

Take risks and at some point in your life, you will fail.But learn to accept it.You're going to lose and you're going to embarrass yourself, there's no doubt about it.There were times when I hid under the bed to sleep in the middle of the night, but someone still knocked on my door.

So, there is no point in holding back, do your best, and when you fall down in life, remember to fall forward. "

The sentence "Remember to fall forward" completely connected the spiritual bridge between these students and Xia Chuan, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out.

Xia Chuan's mental journey has directly shortened the distance between them infinitely. He is also a human being of flesh and blood. He also has fears and fears. He is not a god. He cannot calculate everything and he has grown up step by step.

In other words, it can be copied.

This fills the hearts of countless students with expectations.
