Manuel linares, who lives in Lailla, Barcelona, was a physicist, but his dream was to be a chef. So, at the age of 37, he turned to be a chef. In order to be a good cook, linares went to the hotel management school, and the students laughed at him when they heard that scientists had turned to cooks.
"Hey, are you a fake scientist? How can a scientist become a chef without doing anything?"
"Is it a real hobby or grandstanding for scientists to be chefs?" In the face of doubt, linares felt that he had to make achievements, not only to prove that he liked the profession of chef, but also to prove that he was a real scientist.
once, the teacher taught the method of making ice cream. After simple operation, the teacher encouraged the students to make ice cream with different flavors or shapes according to their own preferences. Students think it is difficult to shake their heads, but linares thinks the opportunity has come.
linares first looked up many methods of making ice cream, almost the same. But a man named Charlie Francis in England made a fluorescent ice cream. As long as the consumer's tongue comes into contact with the ice cream, it will emit light green fluorescence, giving people both taste and vision enjoyment. Linares was inspired and decided to make ice cream that can change color.
from a scientist's point of view, linares believes that healthy raw materials are very important to health, so he insists on making ice cream with pure natural raw materials. However, it is very difficult to make ice cream with pure natural raw materials. All the raw materials that react are generally chemical preparations, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect without chemical components. Linares studied and experimented repeatedly, and failed every time because the color could not be changed.
"Since you are a scientist, you will certainly be able to research and develop new raw materials, otherwise you will be a pseudo-scientist." In the face of ridicule from colleagues, linares was not discouraged.
In order to make the ice cream not only discolor, but also have different tastes, linares decomposed and reorganized the raw materials for making ice cream, and then carried out physical experiments. The perfect combination of the wisdom of scientists and the creativity of chefs, after three months of hard work, finally developed a color-changing ice cream.
The shape of color-changing ice cream is similar to that of ordinary ice cream. On the basis of assorted flavors, it incorporates flavors such as strawberry, banana, caramel and vanilla. The ice cream is blue and turns into romantic purple when it melts. Linares named the ice cream "chameleon ice cream", which was praised by his colleagues after tasting it. No one doubted the identity of a scientist in linares, and no one denigrated his dream of being a chef.
Once the chameleon ice cream was introduced, it was welcomed by customers. In order to taste the chameleon ice cream, customers need to queue up to buy it. The chameleon ice cream not only sells well in Spain, but also attracts the attention of foreign distributors. linares quickly applied for a patent and prepared to sell it abroad.
The news that scientists turned into chefs and developed color-changing ice cream quickly attracted the attention of the media, and many netizens lamented on the Internet that no matter how high or low their occupations are, any industry can achieve results as long as they work hard. Linares, facing an interview with reporters, said happily: Every dream is worth having, and dreams are not condescending. If you dare to try and work hard, your dreams will eventually come true.
There is no law for success. As long as you dare to think and do, you can succeed in any kind of dream.
Chapter 2
When Taiwanese businessman Luo Tianan was 3 years old, he had already become the chairman of more than a dozen enterprises.
In the early 198s, Luo Tianan made his first fortune by selling jeans. In 1992, Luo Tianan was in high spirits. In Taiwan Province and mainland China, he opened more than a dozen companies in one breath, involving seven or eight industries such as clothing, catering, schools, construction, securities, transportation, food and coal mines, which can be described as "blooming everywhere and attacking in an all-round way". Christine's cake shop in Shanghai was the smallest of his many investments at that time.
At that time, Taiwan Province, known as one of the "Four Little Dragons of Asia", was in a period of rapid economic development. Fortunately, stepping on this soaring wave and rhythm, Luo Tianan's wealth and career are also deducing the acceleration expansion and "soaring". His assets soared to several hundred million. "I drove a Cadillac in my thirties and had many assistants and secretaries. Countless friends around me, every day there are endless social parties, eating and drinking, spending a lot of money ... "Luo Tianan is as luxurious as the emperor, and he is arrogant. As long as I hear that something is making money, I will hold my head high and wave my hand: vote!
"Scenery" makes Luo Tianan feel a little high, feel quite good about himself, be proud, arrogant, confident and bold. However, due to the excessive diversification of investment, in 1998, when the Asian financial storm warning, Luo Tianan's capital chain was broken, and almost all the investment went to Shui Piao. Overnight, Luo Tianan was "returned to its original shape." The family spends less than a few hundred yuan a month and is reduced to struggling on the poverty line. Those former "friends" avoided Luo Tianan like the plague.
how can you say "pain" when you fall from the peak of your career to the bottom of your life? Luo Tianan's mood is extremely gloomy. He often shuts himself in a small room to reflect. In 1999, impoverished, he borrowed money from his mother and came to Shanghai alone, ready to take care of all the investments, the only remaining "Christine".
However, as soon as he entered the production workshop, his partner was clamoring for quitting, and angry workers surrounded the little boss. They firmly believe that this arrogant "black sheep" must have come to liquidate assets and close the factory, and his job will be lost. So with strong resistance and hostility, they gathered in his office to make trouble. Luo Tianan changed his old swagger and sincerely convinced the workers that he would wholeheartedly start from the beginning and run the enterprise with his heart ... The skeptical workers agreed that he could leave the factory that day.
At 6 o'clock the next morning, Luo Tianan came to the company, took the initiative to take off his suit and put on his work clothes, and led his colleagues in the production department to clean toilets, tools and clean the environment ... Shouting advertisements and soliciting business with the shop assistants, and personally went to shopping malls and supermarkets to promote products ... Everyone looked at him with suspicion. Luo Tianan secretly warned himself: We must persist in bending down, be equal with our colleagues, set an example and serve others with virtue.
A year later, Christine became more and more famous from loss to profit. There is a kind of trust between the employees and Luo Tianan, forming a concentric morale and cohesion. Everyone is hand in hand and heart to heart. There is no doubt and no distance. There is only one goal, which is to do Christine well. Soon after, Luo Tianan used the money he earned to buy all the shares from several shareholders who had already left, made a continuous capital increase, and moved his home from Taiwan Province to Shanghai, shifting the focus and all energy of his career to this project with the least investment.
In p>2, by chance, Luo Tianan met Zhu Xiuping, then general manager of Yichuan Shopping Center. Years of experience in shopping malls have made Luo Tianan feel that this person is the "Kong Ming" in his career. Therefore, Luo Tianan put down the identity of the chairman and the dignity of a man, looked around and hired Zhu Xiuping as the general manager of Christine. After eight years of close cooperation, Christine finally turned the corner and entered a new development track.
under the planning of Zhu xiuping, the acquisition and expansion of the factory were carried out at the same time as the opening of the store. In order to meet the needs of chain stores, Christine has successively expanded and acquired six production bases and obtained a production base with an area of about 1, square meters. Become a well-known brand and enterprise nominated and praised by Forbes.
When interviewed by the media, Luo Tianan repeatedly said that what he regretted most was that when he had funds and some social resources, he was arrogant and arrogant, which made him lose his way. He had regrets in his life, but he seized another opportunity to create a West Point kingdom with a small cake, and once again interpreted the * * * on the stage of life.
In p>1999, Christine had only 19 stores, and most of them were in poor operating condition. Now Christine has more than 56 stores in the Yangtze River Delta, including more than 4 in Shanghai. At the peak, there was a record of opening five stores a day. This enterprise has firmly taken the top spot in the West Point chain enterprise in the Yangtze River Delta, and the four largest venture capitalists in the world have begun to pay attention to it, and many top 5 enterprises hope to become strategic partners with it.
perhaps, it is because of the arrogance of the past that we can rebuild our hearts today and know how to bend down and be a man and do things in a down-to-earth manner.
article 3
I want to hear about the experience of success. I don't like that sentence very much. I must not lose at the first starting line. No way! Who dares to say that he is at the first starting line and will always be a winner?
when I was two years old, I got polio due to a viral infection. After proper and timely treatment, I was able to stand up after more than forty days, but I was sick and left sequelae, and my heel did not touch the ground. When I was in primary school, people called me Pu lame. At the age of 9, through a smooth plastic surgery, the heel finally landed.
I started to walk like a normal person, but it took me a long time to fully recover. I was a slow runner, and physical education class was divided into four relay races. Everyone didn't want me and let me sit on the playground platform. But I am not reconciled, I swear to be a healthy person who can do what others do. I was still playing basketball until I was in my fifties. I began to learn skiing four years ago. Later, I joined the equestrian club. I can jump obstacles, not too high, and I passed over 6 cm.
Everyone's success must start from failure, and it is through learning, exercising, being cheated by losses, and not giving up and being unwilling. There is something wrong with the first starting line.
Later, I started, and after one year of middle school, I went to the countryside. At that time, I was a "brainless" child, shouting slogans and writing resolutions. After logging out of my account, I went to Heilongjiang happily. I was blindsided when I got there. The hard life made the young people in this city feel at a loss. Because I logged out of my hukou, I changed from a Beijinger to a border person. At that time, I was a young man who pursued progress and wanted to join the party. I also shouted the slogan "Take root in the frontier for a lifetime" at the league meeting, but suddenly I felt that I couldn't help myself.
I secretly used my family leave to take an examination of the art troupe, so that I could get out of Heilongjiang. I have failed in the examination of comrades in arms of the General Political Department and * * *. One day I suddenly received a letter from * * *, and my tears burst out. The person who wrote to me is Wang Wufu, an actor who plays Zhu De now. I have always called him a mentor since I met him. He said that you transferred the file and sent it to me for political review. I got a chance to announce my leg disability with my leader, and I came back.
a person always has a time to eat up his sufferings, and a time to change his destiny. I am a Beijinger again, but there is no place for me in Beijing. I had to go to the street factory to paste cartons. At that time, I was 24 years old, but I had nothing to do and my heart was gloomy.
Finally, I was admitted to the Air Administration Theatre, and since the summer of 1977, I have become a professional actor. In fact, as an actor, no one has fame and fortune, and people who are not actors also have fame and fortune. Many times, the motivation of our struggle often comes from the desire for honor and success, but the opportunity is not given to you.
I wasn't good at that time, so I had to fight for the role. But when the director picked the actors, I couldn't stop his eyes on my face for a while, and I was so anxious that I scratched the wall. Song Dandan always loves telling the truth. She said, "Xiao Pu, we have never thought highly of him. He can't act. I didn't expect him to act very well at the moment." She finally praised me. At that time, I was regarded as a "very poor actor" by many people.
One day, Mr. Lan Tianye, the director of the theater, wanted to direct a play and transferred me to Beijing People's Art, and he pushed through the crowd. When I didn't perform well in acting and teacher Amano criticized me, the people who ate melon seeds and drank tea at the back of the rehearsal table all got up when they saw that I had made a mistake.
I really can't. I was a bad actor for a long time. Why is this? The photographer sitting in front turned his head and said, You just know. I especially want to act well, especially seriously, but once I saw a sample of a movie I starred in, my stage performance didn't match the camera requirements. After that, I began to pay special attention to others. In fact, I didn't have any professional training, but I was suffering, being cheated and secretly watching others learn a little. Looking back on my life, I got this sense of accomplishment in a short time. The most satisfying moment of my self-esteem was in 21, when I won the coveted Golden Eagle Award for TV series.
So, don't worry, but don't be unwilling. Be a hardworking person forever.
