　　Inspirational story about success Part 2

　　There was a young man who didn't study much because his family was poor, and he went to the city to find a job. But he found that no one in the city looked up to him.

　　Just when he decided to leave that city, he wrote a letter to Ross, a very famous banker at that time, complaining about the injustice fate had done to him ......

　　The letter was mailed and he waited in the hotel. A few days passed and he used up the last penny he had and packed his luggage.

　　At that moment, the landlord said there was a letter from him, written by the banker Ross. In the letter, Ross did not express sympathy for his sufferings, but told him a story in the letter.

　　In the vastness of the ocean live many fish.

　　The buoyancy produced by the swim bladder allows the fish to freely control its body at a certain water level when it is at rest.

　　In addition, the swim bladder creates enough space in the abdominal cavity to protect its internal organs from water pressure and damage to the internal organs.

　　Therefore, it can be said that the swim bladder holds the life and death of the fish.

　　But there is one fish that is a shocking anomaly, it was born without a swim bladder!

　　And the amazing thing is that it existed on Earth 300 million years before the dinosaurs appeared, and has been around for more than 400 million years, and it has remained almost unchanged for nearly 100 million years.

　　It is the shark, known as the "master of the ocean"! Heroic shark with their own kingly style, strong posture, to create a myth of no swim bladder still chasing the waves.

　　But what makes sharks live in the water without swim bladders?

　　After scientists' research, they found that because the shark does not have a long swim bladder, once it stops, its body will sink. It can only rely on the movement of muscles, never stop swimming in the water, maintaining a strong body, refining a remarkable combat power.

　　Finally, Ross said, this city is a vast ocean, you are now a fish without swim bladder ......

　　That night, he lay in bed for a long time, unable to sleep, has been thinking about Ross's letter.

　　Suddenly, he changed his decision.

　　The next day, he told the innkeeper that he could stay as a waiter and not pay a penny as long as he was given a bowl of rice to eat.

　　The innkeeper didn't believe there was such cheap labor in the world and was happy to keep him.

　　Ten years later, he had a fortune that was the envy of the United States, and married the daughter of banker Ross, who was the oil king Hart.

　　If you have hope in your heart, you will have a path under your feet.

　　Instead of sighing for the injustice of the heavens, why not be a shark that swims hard, turn short into long, to build their own road of strength, to complete their own life across.

　　Inspirational short story about success Part 3

　　In that year, due to the brutal market competition, a big-name Kelly company in the United States faced the most severe test of survival ever, with sales falling sharply and a large number of senior employees leaving the company one after another. At one time, the company was covered with a strong atmosphere of pessimism, and the company was on the verge of collapse.

　　In the face of the predicament, the company's president Iverson's original idea to call employees to listen to a very vivid speech, greatly unexpected, in this urgent need to inspire people to fight the key moment, was invited to speak not the business world's most powerful and successful, but only ten years old little newspaper boy John! The way of speech is also very special, the president Iverson and the newspaper boy John two people on the stage to carry out a casual conversation, but the intention of the dialogue is intriguing.

　　Iverson said straight away: John, how long have you been delivering newspapers?

　　John proudly said: three years, since I was seven years old.

　　Iverson asked: How much do you earn on average for delivering a newspaper?

　　John smiled and said: Now it's ten cents per paper, not including the occasional tip.

　　Iverson asked: see you happy every day, the way to make money is smooth, right?

　　John still smiling, said: I am happy every day, it is true, but the road to money is not smooth. When I first started delivering newspapers, delivering a newspaper did not earn two cents, and it was very hard, because there were too many people delivering newspapers in that neighborhood, many children older than me, and some adults, they did it earlier, but also more experienced than me.

　　Iverson asked with interest: So how did you then beat the competition?

　　John said smugly: I did not beat the competition, they beat themselves. Seeing that it is difficult to make money by delivering newspapers, they all pessimistically think that they can't make money by doing this, and there is no prospect to say how hard they can work, so they all change their jobs to do something else, but I persisted with hope, and the job is getting better and better, and more and more money.

　　Iverson said: John, you have never thought about changing a profitable job?

　　John firmly said: No, because my grandfather as a lawyer told me - the biggest secret of success is to persevere to the end, even in those days when I only earn three dollars a week, I did not think of changing a job, I always believe that I can earn as much money as I want. Sure enough, now I've gotten my wish, and in addition to delivering newspapers myself, I've hired eight helpers to expand my delivery area and clientele by a lot. At present, I am preparing to set up a newspaper delivery company, ready to try to be the boss of the taste miles.

　　Iverson asked appreciatively: when you delivered newspapers with those people, now there are more money than you?

　　John proudly and decisively replied: No, but many of them regret that they did not persevere as I did, and four of them have now become my right-hand man.

　　At this point, President Iverson stood up excitedly and said: Thank you, John, you gave us an excellent speech today.

　　With that, he handed him a check for $1,000.

　　John was surprised: You pay me too much, I just talk about my experience casually.

　　President Iverson stroked John's head appreciatively and said lovingly: "Son, I believe that the value of your speech today is more than 10,000 times what I paid for it."

　　No one would have imagined that a very simple speech by a ten-year-old newspaper boy would be like a spark that ignited many once-depressed minds, making Kelly & Co. grow step by step into a world-renowned multinational conglomerate, and the newspaper boy John himself later became a "newspaper tycoon" in the United States.

　　The success of this young newspaper boy was not accidental, he also accumulated day by day. Therefore, as I said before, persistence plus accumulation equals hope, and it is the hope of certain success. The last thing I want to say is that the secret of success is persistence.
