This was originally a refusal, but Panasonic actually came a month later.The supervisor evaded and said: "I have something to do now, let's talk about it in a few days!" After a few days, Panasonic came again, and this happened many times. The supervisor had no choice but to express his attitude directly: "You are so dirty. You can’t enter our factory.” So Matsushita immediately went back to borrow money to buy a neat set of clothes and then went to the interview.Seeing that he was so honest, the supervisor had no choice but to say: "You know too little about electrical appliances, we can't ask you." Unexpectedly, two months later, Panasonic appeared in front of the personnel supervisor again: "I have learned a lot. Regarding the knowledge of electrical appliances, you can see where I still have a gap, and I will make up for it one by one." The personnel supervisor stared at the sincere Panasonic for a long time before saying: "I have been in this industry for decades. It’s the first time I’ve met someone like you looking for a job. I really admire your patience and tenacity.” Panasonic’s spirit of not giving up easily moved the supervisor, and he got the job and gradually became an electrician through continuous efforts.

Let happiness become the habit of facing life
A group of young people want to find the true meaning of happiness, so they go together to find happiness.During the long journey, instead of finding what they wanted, they were full of worries and sorrows because of hunger and hunger.No way, they had no choice but to walk back dejectedly.As they were walking, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter.They turned their heads and saw that it was Mr. Socrates, the famous great philosopher. He was sitting under the tree and reading a book, laughing intoxicatedly while reading, looking extremely happy.The young man looking for happiness rushed over as if seeing a savior, and asked: "Great philosopher, please tell us how we can be as happy as you. Where is the happiness?"

Socrates raised his head and looked at them, and said, "Oh, you children are out to find happiness. Why, haven't you found happiness yet? Well, the rainy season is coming, if you can cut wood and build me a big boat, Let's go boating together, and then I will tell you where happiness lies." The young man did as he asked.In order to finish it before the rainy season, they were busy day and night, helping each other, and their days were very fulfilling.One day, Socrates went to see them and found that they were singing, working, talking and laughing, so he asked: "Children, do you feel happy now?" The young people suddenly realized that they had found happiness.

Happiness only likes to be close to people who are actively doing things.If you look for happiness specifically and deliberately, it will often hide it, but if you do the things in front of you with your heart, it will come uninvited.When you integrate happiness into your daily life, you will find that happiness is everywhere.

Xiao Wang is an optimist by nature, almost no one has ever seen him worry.Anyone who met him would see that he was all smiles, and he would open his mouth and laugh out loud.How could there be so many happy things in his life?On the surface, no matter his family background or work, he is not very good.With this question in mind, the friend started a conversation with him: "Xiao Wang, if you didn't have any friends, would you still be happy?" Myself." "If your wife is sick now, would you still be happy?" "Of course, I would be happy to think that fortunately she is only sick and has a chance to be treated, she is not dying, nor is she abandoning me Go." "Then what if she wants to abandon you?" "Then I will be even more fortunate, fortunately I only have one wife of hers, not several, so I don't have to be abandoned a few times."

The friend couldn't laugh or cry, and then asked: "If you were robbed, ransacked, and beaten up, would you still be happy?" "Of course, I would happily think, fortunately, they just beat me up. Take my money instead of my life." "Would you be happy if the barber accidentally cut your hair short while you were getting a haircut?" "Of course I would be happy thinking, Fortunately, he just cut my hair short instead of shaving it." "Then if the barber accidentally shaved your eyebrows, would you still be happy?" "Well, then I'll be glad I'm getting a haircut, not an operation." At this point, my friend didn't want to ask any more questions, because he already understood why Xiao Wang was so happy all day—Xiao Wang is an optimist, and his dictionary has "Fortunately" is the word, and he uses it often.Learn from Xiao Wang and make happiness a habit.Occupy your heart with joy and happiness, and pain and trouble will leave you.And how to plant "pistachios" in your heart depends on whether you will take a step back and think, such as saying more "fortunately".

Happiness is the indispensable nourishment of life.Without happiness in life, it is like walking into a tomb, facing a suffocating environment without temperature; without happiness in life, it is like forgetting to put salt in the dish, and not experiencing the true taste.Happiness and sorrow are a pair of twin brothers, always around us, as long as you are good at choosing, you can live in happy spring forever.

Wisdom
Be kind to yourself, give yourself a smile, and let the sunshine into your heart; care for yourself, and give yourself a reward of confidence from time to time.Once we have happiness, we have the power to face the whole world, please let happiness accompany you all your life!

In every business there are employees who seem to be very laid-back and spend very little time on the job each week.The boss is willing to pay them a high salary and appreciate them a lot.The reason is that these employees have a core technology in their hands that cannot be replaced by other employees.If you want to be the irreplaceable one, you should develop your core skills.Only when you have a certain ability that others do not have, you will become an indispensable employee in the company.

A high-power motor of the Ford Motor Company in the United States broke down, and many professionals were invited for consultation but failed to find out the crux of the problem, which seriously delayed production.When there was really no other way, the company invited Steinmenz, a German motor expert. He went to the site to have a look, and after listening to the sound of the motor running, he drew a line with chalk on the machine and said: " Subtract 16 turns from the coil inside the drawn line." In this way, the high-power motor quickly returned to normal operation.The company manager asked: "How much will the repair cost?" Steinmenz replied: "$1."

This was not a small amount at the time.The manager specially asked someone to bring the repair expense registration form and said: "Please fill in the repair material cost in detail on the form." Steinmenz then picked up a pen and wrote: "It is $1 to draw a line with chalk, and you know where to draw the line." $9999." The company paid, and hired Steinmenz with a lot of money.Steinmenz has mastered the core technology of motor operation, which makes him irreplaceable.Even if you only say a few words, draw a line, or do a few actions that look simple to others, the company has to obediently pay.The workplace is a battlefield where only those who are capable are heroes, and we must rely on ability and ability to gain a foothold.With the advantages that others cannot surpass, there is also the capital to look down upon others.

James first approached the company's personnel department and offered to provide free labor for the company, asking the company to assign him any work, and he would complete it without any remuneration.The company felt that such free labor was good, so he was assigned to clean up the scrap iron scraps in the workshop.James is diligent and diligent, without any complaints.In the process of working, he carefully studied the machinery in the workshop, observed every link of product manufacturing, was familiar with the operation methods of the technicians, and even learned a thing or two about the techniques of the decorators.
