Then, at the age of forty, should we stand still and stand still, or go forward and open up a new world? I think many middle-aged people have had such contradictions and entanglements.
Su Dongpo said that real life begins at the age of forty. After 40 years of life experience, people have rich life experience and experience, and they are more mature, more secure and more suitable for entrepreneurs than when they were young.
In real life, there is such a person who started a life style of entrepreneurship from the age of forty. This person is teacher Jiang Kunyuan.
Teacher Jiang Kunyuan is a legend in Suzhou. As he himself said, "I have as many legends as Yangcheng Lake."
/kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/8. After retirement, he was assigned to work in the township government. When the government streamlined the organization, he was laid off and worked as a salesman in a private enterprise.
At the age of 40, he resigned to start a business. Ten years later, he had assets of10 million yuan. Now he is the director of Suzhou Zhengxiang Calendering Factory and the chairman of Suzhou Good Logic Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd..
During his pioneering period, he was also fascinated by literary creation. He has published more than 30 books over the years. Now he is a member of China Prose Association, a member of Jiangsu Writers Association, and a signing writer of several media platforms.
How do you define him with so many auras? A writer with tens of millions of corporate assets? Or an entrepreneur who keeps writing among writers?
Knowing Mr. Jiang Kunyuan is a study group of 20 18.
At that time, Mr. Jiang was already famous, and I was new here. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang, like me, paid special attention to and supported me, and included several of my articles in his official WeChat account, which became my first published text. I am very excited to be recognized by others, and it also inspires my enthusiasm for writing. Thank you very much, Teacher Jiang.
After many exchanges with Mr. Jiang, I gradually became familiar with him. I found that Mr. Jiang was very approachable and had no shelf at all. He is considerate and modest.
Last year, when I learned that Teacher Jiang had published a new book, I told him that I wanted to buy a new book signed by him. As soon as the new book was published, he sent me two autographed books. At the moment I received this book, I was holding a brand-new book with ink fragrance, and my heart was warm. As a great entrepreneur and a famous writer, Mr. Jiang could actually remember the writing words of a casual meeting. This sincerity and low-key are impressive.
One of these two books is Youth at Forty. This book tells the story of his entrepreneurship and his son in the form of prose. Reading a complete book, the language is simple and unpretentious, and it is as grounded as pulling home.
Through unpretentious words, I read his entrepreneurial history and success secret devoutly, including four aspects, which impressed me deeply.
1, only those who are pregnant with "drilling kung fu" can gain a foothold in the market.
Teacher Jiang makes stamping parts first. By chance, I had the idea of making injection molded parts. After receiving instructions, I bought a 50-ton injection molding machine. With the injection molding machine, we will soon receive orders to manufacture injection-molded parts.
The most important step in making injection molded parts is to make molds. After being introduced, he found a small workshop mold factory. The mold factory vowed that it could make the mold he needed. He signed a contract with the mold factory and paid a deposit of 6000 yuan in advance.
Results yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us, a month later, the mold was made, but it failed after countless attempts. Because I didn't know the specialty, the mold ended in failure.
Fortunately, he later contacted a professional tool company. Manager Zhou of the quality department of this company asked him several professional questions, but he couldn't answer them. Manager Zhou said meaningfully, "Do it with your heart and master the skill of drilling a well."
Manager Zhou's words made Mr. Jiang thoroughly understand that our fate is in our own hands. Only those who are pregnant with "drilling kung fu" can gain a foothold in the market.
In fact, no matter whether you start a business, what industry you are engaged in or what job you do, you need to master a "well-drilling skill" and have real skills. Otherwise, it will be difficult to be bigger, stronger and longer.
2, the variables in life, always changing endlessly, only perseverance.
Teacher Jiang invested 20 to 30 million yuan to build a logic company on the bank of Yangcheng Lake, most of which was borrowed. After the factory was built, the global financial crisis came. Because of the financial crisis, the rent of Good Logic Factory couldn't go out. Teacher Jiang was very depressed and became sad.
What he never dreamed was that in order to stimulate domestic demand, the relevant departments in Suzhou decided to build roads, and the spacious roads directly led to his good logic gates.
The variables in life are always unpredictable It was the financial crisis that put him in danger, but I didn't expect to take the opportunity to clear the way at the gate of his factory. As Emerson said, "the whole world will make way for people who are bent on their goals."
After the crisis, there must be an opportunity. Jiang teacher infinite regrets ground say:
Although he borrowed a lot of debts, the happiness of life lies in these busy struggles. In today's society, there are more people talking about leisure and health preservation, and fewer people seem to talk about ideal struggle. But I prefer to be the latter, and unswervingly follow my own path, because I think it is happiness to fight for my dreams.
We accept the fate that we have to accept. When suffering comes, you stand up and carry it; If luck comes, open your heart and hug warmly. The only thing we need to do is not to complain, not to shrink back, and to face all the storms and smooth roads bravely.
Your success is not success, only your children's success is real success.
In the process of starting his own business, Mr. Jiang has experienced many hardships and many tests. It can be said that he has been carrying a heavy load.
Then why is he still working so hard when he is forty years old?
Teacher Jiang admits that his son is the driving force for his entrepreneurship. At the most difficult time of starting a business, my son is in high school. He wants to convey a spirit to his son: Dad is trying to set up a factory, so you should study hard.
Once, he said to his son, "I must make the factory bigger and stronger." You study hard and take over after graduating from college. "
His son said, "I won't take over until you complete the annual output value of 654.38 billion yuan."
Whether to be a sea or a stream depends on your own choice. It is true that if you are passionate, then you choose the surging sea; If you want to live and work in peace and contentment, it is also a good choice for you to make a living.
Mr. Jiang chose to set up his own factory in the sea. When he chose, he didn't hesitate, so he bravely put it into action and walked firmly to realize his beautiful life.
So they started a game.
When he finally finished the primitive accumulation, his son came back from college.
There are two arduous tasks before him: first, how to think about the enterprise to a new height with a broader background, so as to make by going up one flight of stairs. Second, how to cultivate my son to love this industry and hand over his career to him smoothly. The latter is more important.
Now, he has successfully handed over the business to his son. Because my son studied mechanical manufacturing and design in college, he took over the enterprise like a duck to water, which made the enterprise prosperous and prosperous.
The success of children is the real success. Teacher Jiang has not only achieved the success of her career, but also the success of her children. He is a real winner in life.
4. Be grateful, and the world will give more in return.
Life needs a grateful heart to create, and a grateful heart will be nourished and given by life.
Forty is Youth looks like an entrepreneurial inspirational book, but after reading it, Teacher Jiang's gratitude is everywhere.
When Mr. Jiang started his business, his uncle gave him great help. Give full support from land acquisition and factory construction, loans, supply and marketing channels, technology and other aspects. Throughout the book, Mr. Jiang wrote a dozen words about thanking my uncle. You can feel that this gratitude is sincere and sincere.
He is grateful not only to his uncle, but also to his nephew, villagers, parents, friends and all those who have helped him. From beginning to end, I haven't seen him complain. He already hates a person. Even if it is an opponent or someone who has hurt him, he tells the story with a very pertinent attitude.
Seeking truth from facts, not many people can achieve this mentality.
I once read a passage like this:
"The greatest wealth in life is gratitude: who is the richest? Who is the poorest? The poor always want to get it from others, while the rich are grateful and always want to give it to others. Therefore, if a person can be grateful and cherish the blessings, he is the biggest owner of life. "
I think Mr. Jiang's success is related to his good attitude.
Because of gratitude, he remembered the goodness of others. Because of gratitude, he always puts himself in others' shoes when doing things. Therefore, be soft-hearted, spread love and benefit more people.
The loved one is back, and the blessed one is back. You give love to others, and others will return it to you. People who are good at giving often get the love and favor of others.
Love can work miracles. Teacher Jiang was grateful, so the world gave him a bigger reward.
Teacher Jiang is not only good at starting a business, but also persistent in writing. He said that writing is his window to the world, which makes people quiet and happy.
His writing also opens a window for us to see the real life of great entrepreneurs.
He used his successful experience to tell us that "forty years old is youth", and age does not affect the development of his career. As long as you have a goal, you will go forward and open up a new world.
He is like a bright lighthouse, leading the wave of advancing despite difficulties.
