873 [Secret of Success]
Zhou Hexuan is certainly not the "father of chicken soup for the soul", Dale Carnegie is.
This gentleman came from a poor family, excelled in his studies, excelled in eloquence, and was good at speaking. So, after graduating from the normal school, he became a salesman, selling ham, soap, lard and automobiles, and was an excellent professional salesman.
Carnegie was still a young man with dreams—
He wanted to be a star, so he went to learn acting and failed.
He wanted to be a writer, quit his job to write, or failed.
The job as a salesman was gone, and he couldn't make money teaching at night school, so he went to work as a trainer in a speech class. He specializes in pouring chicken soup for the soul on young people, and although he is not successful himself, he can guide others on how to achieve success.
Dale Carnegie became more and more famous in adult education, so he began to publish books, and his representative works include "The Weakness of Human Nature", "The Advantages of Human Nature", "The Glory of Human Nature", "The Beautiful Life", and "The Happy Life".
These chicken soup successes were so well received that Carnegie became a spiritual mentor to young Americans. Even with his wife and sister, he also drew gourds in the same way, and wrote best-selling books such as "Writing for Girls" and "Tips for Wisdom".
Carnegie's successes are somewhat credible, but he is definitely the grandfather of modern training institutions. The various training courses, motivational classes, entrepreneurship classes, and lecture classes adopted by later generations adopted teaching modes and methods were all learned from Carnegie.
The term "successology" comes from Carnegie, who pioneered the so-called "personal successology" and fooled young people all over the world to death.
……
McKinley is one such young man in desperate need of chicken soup, and his grandfather's family immigrated to the United States from Ireland. His grandfather was a shoemaker and his father was a shoemaker, but McKinley didn't want to continue to be a shoemaker, he wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor.
Due to the impact of the Great Depression, the income of the family heirloom shoe shop plummeted, and McKinley had to drop out of school to work. He engaged in sales during the day and studied training classes at night, and enrolled in two courses, the Carnegie sales class and the Carnegie speech class, in one breath - fortunately, the Carnegie relations class, the Carnegie management class, and the Carnegie personnel class had not yet been created, otherwise he would definitely have finished.
McKinley, an inspirational young student, spent most of his income to support his family, and gave the rest of the money to his spiritual mentor Dale Carnegie.
After only three months of study, McKinley felt that he had learned a lot. He dared to shout in front of passers-by on the street, he knew how to lure the salesperson into being tricked, and although he was still clumsy in his eloquence when chatting with his friends, he could talk for hours in front of customers.
This is an essential quality that a good salesman possesses, but also ...... That's all.
At the end of the 30s, the spiritual mentor Carnegie was still only a great magician, and had not cultivated to the realm of the gods, and a series of success classics such as "The Advantages of Human Nature" had not yet come out.
Recently, Mr. Carnegie published another book called "How to Stop the Depression and Start a Life."
As a die-hard supporter of Carnegie, the young McKinley rushed into the bookstore as soon as possible, and took the bowl of chicken soup from the bookshelf as if he had found it. He feels that he has been a little depressed lately, and that he really needs to create a new life, after all, being a salesman is too hard and tiring and he doesn't earn much.
Hey!
McKinley glanced at another book on the shelf, which was called "The Talmud – Why Jews Can Become Monopoly."
McKinley had no favorable opinion of the Jews because he was a Puritan of Irish origin. But he has a good feeling for money, and he dreams of becoming a rich man, and as for the Talmud, the devil knows what it is.
The Talmud is a compilation of centuries and 2.5 million words by countless Jewish scholars, and few Jews have ever read it, let alone the Puritans in the United States.
Curious, McKinley opened the book, and was immediately baptized by a bowl of fresh and refined chicken soup, like a traveler in the desert meeting an oasis and reading it hungrily.
As it got dark, the clerk reminded, "Sir, do you want to buy a book?" The store is ready to close. ”
"Of course, I want both." McKinley hurriedly took out the money to pay for tomorrow's lunch, and he originally only had the budget to buy a book.
Holding two bowls of chicken soup for the soul, McKinley hurriedly went to the Carnegie training class to study, and did not return home until about ten o'clock in the evening.
I can't wait to open "The Talmud - Why Jews Can Become Monopoly" again, and McKinley read it all night, and it feels like a young man who has just entered the rivers and lakes has obtained a peerless secret.
Many of the theories in the book overlap with the Carnegie training class, but there are many more new things. For example, women are natural consumers, good at taking advantage of legal loopholes, making decisive decisions to seize momentary opportunities, saving money for tomorrow, being highly sensitive to information, using the credibility of others to open up financial channels, and making full use of your family and friends to help you sell ......
The Book of God!
This is a divine book!
As long as you understand it, you can become a peerless master!
McKinley was convinced of this, and he came back to his senses before he remembered to see the author, which was actually a new work by the Far Eastern wizard Charles Zhou. No wonder he can write the secrets of doing business so thoroughly, and people are masters of predicting the Great Depression!
McKinley spent two days reading the first volume of "Business", and then began to read the second volume of "Life".
If the first volume teaches you how to make money, then the next volume teaches you how to behave. The content in it is summed up in the order of "self-control", "good at learning", "self-confidence and self-improvement", "the way to make friends", "the right way to treat marriage and family", so good, so thorough, bowls of chicken soup make the soul instantly sublimated - in fact, it is all.
Before Carnegie completely completed his chicken soup theory, Zhou Hexuan's book belonged to a big killer that was ahead of his time.
At the very least, McKinley completely forgot about Carnegie and instead regarded Zhou Hexuan as a life coach. At the same time, he also believed Zhou Hexuan's nonsense, thinking that these views were summarized from the "Talmud", and his impression of the Jews was much better from then on.
Since then, McKinley has worked hard to save every penny as a reserve fund according to the teachings in the book, and two years later seized the opportunity to join the meat industry. McKinley put his parents and his own family on the line, ordered a batch of pigs from the farm at a low price, and the war soon led to a shortage of luncheon meat ingredients, making McKinley a fortune of $2,000.
Immediately, McKinley moved to the print market, buying a large number of posters of female celebrities, and risking a boat to the naval base to sell to the GIs. Well, in the face of Japanese bombing, the ship capsized, and McKinley lost all his money, and almost saw God because of it.
But McKinley was not discouraged, he followed the book's teachings to polish his mind in the face of adversity, and returned to his old job as a salesman. But it was too bitter and tiring, so he simply went to fight as a soldier, and made a small fortune selling war souvenirs after the war.
McKinley returned to the United States and invested all his money in the distribution of new drugs, but the US government rectified the drug market, and the new drugs did not meet the specifications, and they hit the street again!
After more than a decade of ups and downs, McKinley's father died of illness, and he had to go back to inherit the family business, a small shoe shop, and became an excellent shoemaker ever since, and even established a leather shoe factory in the 80s.
McKinley succeeded, and he believes that his success is inseparable from the guidance of his spiritual mentor, Mr. Zhou Hexuan. That classic success book taught him to learn knowledge, use wisdom, pay attention to information, seize opportunities, make friends, and persevere......
The great Mr. Zhou has helped countless young people find their purpose in life, and he has benefited all mankind.
