Chapter 874 873 [Secret of Success]
Of course Zhou Hexuan is not the "father of chicken soup for the soul", Dale Carnegie is.
This gentleman comes from a poor family, excels in studies, has excellent eloquence, and is good at giving speeches. Therefore, he became a salesman after graduating from normal school and sold ham, soap, lard and cars. He was an excellent professional salesman.
Carnegie was still a young man with dreams——
He wanted to be a star, so he studied acting, but failed.
He wanted to be a writer, quit his job and wrote novels, but failed.
His job as a salesman was gone, and he couldn't make money teaching at night schools, so he went to work as a trainer in a speech class. He specializes in giving young people chicken soup for their souls. Although he is not successful himself, he can teach others how to succeed.
Dale Carnegie thrived in adult education and became more and more famous, so he began to publish books. His representative works include "The Weakness of Human Nature", "The Strengths of Human Nature", "The Glory of Human Nature", "A Wonderful Life", "Happy Life".
These chicken soup success studies were well received, and Carnegie became a spiritual mentor for American youth. Even his wife and sister followed suit and wrote best-selling books such as "For Girls" and "Tips of Wisdom".
Not to mention that Carnegie’s success theory is somewhat credible, but he is definitely the ancestor of modern training institutions. The teaching models and methods used in various training classes, motivational classes, entrepreneurship classes, and lecture classes in later generations were all learned from Carnegie.
The term "Success Learning" comes from Carnegie. He created the so-called "Personal Success Learning" and fooled young people all over the world to death.
…
McKinley was such a young man in urgent need of chicken soup. 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 being a shoemaker. He wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor.
Due to the Great Depression, the income of the family shoe store dropped sharply, and McKinley had to drop out of school to work. He worked in sales during the day and took training classes at night. He signed up for two courses, the Carnegie Sales Class and the Carnegie Speech Class. Fortunately, the Carnegie Relationship Class, the Carnegie Management Class, and the Carnegie Personnel Class had not yet been established, otherwise he would have finished signing up. .
The inspirational young classmate McKinley spent most of his income on supporting his family, and gave all the remaining money to his spiritual mentor Carnegie.
After only three months of studying, McKinley feels that he has gained a lot. He dared to shout loudly in front of passers-by on the street. He knew how to seduce the people being promoted. Although his eloquence was still poor when chatting with friends, he could talk for hours in front of customers.
These are the basic qualities of a good salesperson, but also... nothing more.
In the late 1930s, spiritual mentor Carnegie was still just a great magician and had not cultivated to the level of a magic god. A series of successful academic classics such as "The Advantages of Humanity" had not yet been published. His masterpiece at this time was "How to Win Friendship and Influence" others".
Recently, Mr. Carnegie published another book called "How to Stop Depression and Start a Life."
As a die-hard supporter of Carnegie, young McKinley rushed into the bookstore immediately and took down the bowl of chicken soup from the shelf as if he had found a treasure. He feels that he has been a little depressed recently, and he really needs to start something new in life. After all, being a salesman is too hard and tiring and he doesn't make much money.
Huh!
McKinley glanced at another book on the shelf. It was called Talmud: Why Jews Become Rich.
McKinley had no favorable opinion of Jews because he was a Puritan of Irish descent. But he was very fond of money and wanted to become a rich man in his dreams. As for Talmud, who knows what it is.
"Talmud" is a compilation of countless Jewish scholars over hundreds of years. It is a 2.5 million-word tome. Even the Jews can't read it carefully. Many Jews have never seen this book in their lives, let alone the United States. Puritan.
McKinley opened the book curiously, and was immediately baptized by a bowl of fresh and refined chicken soup. He was like a traveler in the desert encountering an oasis, and he read it eagerly.
It was getting dark, and the clerk reminded: "Sir, do you want to buy a book? Our store is about to close."
"Of course, I want these two books." McKinley quickly took out the money and put in tomorrow's lunch money. He originally only had the budget to buy one book.
Armed with two bowls of Chicken Soup for the Soul, McKinley hurried to Carnegie’s training class and didn’t return home until after ten o’clock in the evening.
I couldn't wait to open "Talmud - Why Jews Become Monopoly" again. McKinley stayed up all night reading it. It felt like a young hero who had just entered the world had obtained a unique secret.
Many of the theories in the book overlap with Carnegie's training courses, but there are more new things. For example: women are natural consumers, good at taking advantage of legal loopholes, make decisive decisions to seize momentary opportunities, save money early for tomorrow, remain highly sensitive to information, use other people's reputation to open up financial paths, and make full use of your relatives and friends The group will help you promote...
Divine book!
This is a divine book!
As long as you master it, you can become a peerless master!
McKinley was convinced of this. When he came to his senses, he remembered to read the author's new work, which turned out to be Charles Zhou, a wizard from the Far East. No wonder he can write such thorough business tips. He is a master who can predict the Great Depression!
McKinley spent two days reading the first volume, "Doing Business," and then started reading the second volume, "Living in the World."
If the first volume teaches you how to make money, then the second volume teaches you how to be a human being. To sum up, the content inside is "self-control", "good at learning", "self-confidence and self-improvement", "how to make friends", and "treat marriage and family correctly". It is so well explained and so thoroughly explained. Chicken soup instantly lifts the soul - but it's all bullshit.
Before Carnegie completely completed his chicken soup theory, Zhou Hexuan's book was a killer weapon that transcended the times.
At least, McKinley completely forgot about Carnegie and turned to Zhou Hexuan as his life mentor. At the same time, he also believed Zhou Hexuan's lies, thinking that these views were summarized from the Talmud. From then on, his impression of the Jews became much better.
From then on, McKinley followed the teachings in the book and worked hard to save every penny as a reserve fund. Two years later, he seized the opportunity to join the meat industry. McKinley put his parents and his family's financial resources at risk and ordered a batch of pigs from the farm at a low price. The war soon led to the popularity of luncheon meat ingredients, allowing McKinley to make a fortune - a full $2,000.
Immediately, McKinley turned to the print market, purchased a large number of female star posters, and took the risk of taking a boat to the naval base to sell them to the soldiers. Well, the ship capsized during a Japanese bombing, and McKinley lost all his money, and almost met God because of it.
But McKinley was not discouraged. He polished his mind in adversity according to the teachings in the book, and returned to his old job as a salesman. But it was too painful and tiring, so he simply went to serve 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. However, when the U.S. government rectified the drug market, the new drugs were substandard and he was once again on the market!
After more than ten years of ups and downs, McKinley's father died of illness. He could only go back and inherit the family business - a small shoe shop. From then on, he became an excellent shoemaker and even founded a leather shoe factory in the 1980s.
McKinley succeeded. He believed that his success was 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 helped countless young people find their goals in life, and he benefited all mankind.
