Matsubara, like many Japanese men, will meet three or five friends every day after work, go to a bar near the unit for a few drinks, and then catch the last subway or bus home slightly drunk.
But it takes about 1 hour to get to the residence, or even longer if there is an accident. Therefore, Matsubara often falls asleep unconsciously on the train, and when he wakes up, he finds that he has missed his destination and the bus has reached the terminal.
Every time I get off the bus, Songyuan is very upset, because there is no return bus at this time, and the only way to get back to my residence is to take a taxi.
But the problem is that taking a taxi in Japan is very expensive. The starting price in the daytime is about RMB in 43 yuan, and the distance of 10 km needs more than 250 yuan, but after 1 1 in the afternoon, the cost will increase by 30%! Songyuan used to take a taxi back to his residence several times, and it took nearly a thousand yuan each time, which was too much for him!
Because he was afraid of missing the station, Matsubara tried to keep himself awake every time he got on the last bus, and he didn't dare to fall asleep easily, which made him feel very painful. Later, Matsubara found that he was not the only one who had the same experience and situation, and many office workers who lived far from the office also had the same distress.
Once, when Song Yuan was riding in the car, it suddenly occurred to him that if some hotels could be built near the terminal of subway and bus, so that those "alcoholic" office workers who had missed the station could have a place to live, wouldn't the problem be solved?
In this way, Songyuan began to find a partner and then borrowed money to buy land. Because the subway and bus terminals are remote and desolate, the land price nearby is very cheap, the cost of building a hotel is much cheaper than that of Tokyo, and the daily operating expenses are also very low.
The cost of Kosongyuan Hotel per night is not low, which is similar to that of downtown Tokyo, but even so, many people come to stay, because it is quite worthwhile compared with the scary taxi fare. Now Songyuan has opened nearly 70 "terminal hotels" with an annual income of 4.2 million US dollars. Songyuan has also become a millionaire from a diaosi wage earner who couldn't afford a car in the past.
Everyone is equal before opportunities, but opportunities often prefer to appear at an inconspicuous turning point. Most people who can find them are those who have keen insight and dare to think and do.
2. Zuo Si, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, read Zhang Heng's Fu for Two Cities when he was a teenager, and was deeply inspired. He is determined to write Sandu Fu in the future. Lu Ji couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, saying that it was a joke for a vulgar person like Zuo Si to want to write such a masterpiece. Even if it is painstakingly written, it must be worthless and only suitable for making jars.
Faced with such humiliation, Zuo Si made up his mind. He heard that Zuo had traveled to Min and Qiong (present-day Sichuan), so he went to the door for advice many times to get familiar with the local mountains, rivers, products and customs. He visited extensively and collected a lot of materials, and then devoted himself to writing. There are papers and pens everywhere in his room, beside the fence and in the toilet. As long as he thinks of good words, he records them and revises them repeatedly.
Zuo Si worked hard for ten years and finally finished Sandu Fu. Lu Ji was surprised and admired, so he had to give up. Find the right action target, not be moved by outsiders, persistence is victory, and persistence is everything.
There are two Spaniards, one is Blanco and the other is Ortega. Although they are neighbors of the same age, they are far apart. Blanco's father is a wealthy businessman who lives in a villa and drives a luxury car, while Ortega's father is just a street vendor who lives in a shack and walks.
From an early age, Blanco's father said to his son, "Son, you can do whatever you want when you grow up. If you want to be a lawyer, I will ask my personal lawyer to teach you to be a good lawyer. He is a famous lawyer. If you want to be a doctor, I'll ask my personal doctor to teach you medicine. He is our doctor here.
If you want to be an actor, I will send you to an art school to study, and find a screenwriter and director to tailor your role for you, so that you can always be the protagonist; If you want to be a businessman, then I will teach you how to do business. You know, your father is not a small businessman, but a big businessman. As long as you are willing to study, I will teach you all my business experience. "
Ortega's father always said to his son, "Son, because of my limited ability and poor family, I can't give you much help, so I can't teach you anything except how to set up a stall." Both children firmly remembered their father's words.
Blanco first applied for a lawyer. After a few days of study, he felt that the work of a lawyer was too monotonous and completely unsuitable for his personality. He thought he had other things to do anyway, so he turned to study medicine. Because patience is the most important thing in dealing with those patients every day, he feels that the profession of doctor seems not suitable for him.
So, he thought, it must be fun to be an actor, but before long, he realized that being an actor was really too hard. Finally, he had to learn to do business with his father, but at this time, his father's company went bankrupt because of the financial crisis. In the end, Blanco accomplished nothing.
Ortega stood with his father for a few days, and then cried and refused to leave, because the stall was often looked down upon by people because of the sun and rain. However, at the thought that there was nothing to do but set up a stall, he crustily skin of head and set off with his father again.
However, he didn't work for a few days, so he couldn't stand it any longer and clamored not to go. With nothing to do, he soon set off with his father again. Slowly, he actually found out from the stall that if he wants to get rid of the stall work forever, he has to set up a stall seriously. As a result, a few years later, he finally had his own shop.
Thirty years later, he owned his own clothing group. Today, the group has 36,965,438+0 brand stores in 68 countries around the world, making it the second largest clothing retailer in the world. Ortega, with personal assets of $25 billion, ranks 9th on the 20 10 Forbes list of the world's richest people.
People don't choose as many as possible, because they can't make up their minds and stick to it. Instead, those who had no choice finally succeeded.
4. Once upon a time, two hungry people were blessed by an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of huge fresh fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways. Those who get the fish build a bonfire with dry wood and cook the fish on the spot. He wolfed down the fish and didn't taste the meat of the fresh fish. In a flash, he ate all the fish and soup.
Soon, he was starved to death by an empty fish basket. The other man continued to starve with a fishing rod, and walked hard to the seaside step by step, but when he saw the blue ocean not far away, his last strength was exhausted and he could only die with endless regrets.
Two hungry people also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from their elders. It's just that they didn't part ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cooked one fish at a time, and after a long journey, they came to the seaside.
Since then, the two began to make a living by fishing. A few years later, they built a house, had their own family and children, had their own fishing boat, and lived a happy and healthy life.
On the way forward, no matter how difficult you encounter, you must persist in your efforts and never give up easily. Because every tomorrow is a new starting point and a new road.
I think: we are running from one starting line to another, and each starting line constitutes a beautiful life. Let's move towards a new starting point, struggle for a lifetime, and have no regrets.
A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; One should aim high, but face the real life. Only by organically combining ideal with reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.
Yimihua, which grows in the desert of Africa, is unknown and few people notice it. Many travelers think it is just a grass. However, it will bloom beautiful flowers one morning in life.
It is a gorgeous flower, which seems to occupy all the colors in the world. Its petals are lotus leaves, each with its own color: red, white, yellow and blue, competing with the poisonous sun over Africa.
However, its flowering period is very short, only two days at most. After two days, it will wither with the mother plant, and flowering means the end of its life.
In the desert areas of Africa, plants need water for growth, and flowering plants need more water. Ordinary plants in Africa have huge roots to collect water to meet their own water needs. But the one-meter flower has no root system. It has only one main root, and it meanders to the depths of the ground alone, looking for a place with water.
It takes luck and tenacious efforts. It often takes four to five years for Anyimi flowers to find water in the arid desert, and then accumulate nutrients bit by bit. After completing all the nutrients needed by the bud, it blooms! So at its most beautiful time, it withered because it exhausted all nutrients.
How tenacious and sad it is to spend five years working hard to open a flower. A meter of flowers will be beautiful all their lives if they grow in a place with rich aquatic plants. It's a pity that its hometown is in the desert.
In this world, everything has its moments of glory, which is the right given to everything by God.
People are wiser and more rational than a meter of flowers, and brilliant ideals are stronger than a meter of flowers. However, we often have no perseverance and no lifelong efforts. When encountering difficulties and obstacles, we often accept the fate of environmental arrangements.
The road of life has several decades, but there are really too few years to go forward like a meter of flowers. Work hard and persist with the feeling that you must be beautiful once in your life, and everyone will do better than now!
