Chapter 302: The Meaning of Climbing
On Monday morning, at 6:00, the alarm clock rang, Xu Xincheng woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately woke up.
Last night, he worked until just after 1 a.m. before leaving the office, and when he got home, freshened up, and went to bed, it was already past 2 o'clock. He only slept for more than three hours last night, but at this time, he felt in good spirits, not only did he not feel the slightest sense of exhaustion, but he felt full of strength and energy.
He went to the window and looked out the window, it was already dark, the weather was very nice, it was refreshing, there was a breeze, and he immediately decided to go for a run.
About fifteen minutes later, Xu Xincheng came to a small park near his home again.
There is a hill in the park, which is about 30 meters high. The hill was in the northeast corner of the park, and the place was very remote, and he rarely visited here. Today, however, as soon as he entered the park, he unconsciously trotted towards it. When he saw the hill in front of him, he also felt a little strange, how could he come here?
Although he still felt strange in his heart, his feet had already taken steps.
When he began to climb the stone steps, he immediately realized why he had subconsciously come here, for the simple reason that he was climbing.
At this time, deep in his heart, there was a very strong desire to climb.
Although this hill is only 30 meters high, it is a mountain after all, and since it is a mountain, it can be used to climb.
He loves to climb. In the past few years, whenever he encountered great difficulties and walked into a low point in his life, he liked to adjust his mentality by climbing, such as the first Sunday when he came to Guangzhou to study at university, and the first time he climbed Baiyun Mountain.
Sometimes, in a good situation, he feels a little too fluttery, and he likes to calm his mind by climbing.
At such a time, every time he climbs, more or less, he can gain something, and sometimes even comprehend something.
In yesterday afternoon's discussion, he and Lucy used climbing a mountain as a metaphor many times, and his enlightenment yesterday, yesterday's transformation, are also related to climbing, and those images strengthen his desire to climb.
Climbing, it always connects with personal success, total and entrepreneurship, total and career, and always and entrepreneur.
Over the years, from various reports, he has learned that many outstanding entrepreneurs like to climb, and some entrepreneurs even take climbing the world's top ten mountains as their goal, and some have even climbed the world's highest peak, Mount Everest.
In the past, he could understand that people liked to climb mountains hundreds of meters high, and that mountaineering could exercise the body, relax the body and mind, and sharpen the will. However, he has never been able to understand why so many entrepreneurs would take great risks, even their lives, to climb mountains as high as seven or eight thousand meters.
What is the point of climbing for them?
In the same way, he can understand that for the happy life of himself and his family, people start a company, and strive to make the company bigger and stronger, so that the market value is tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions. However, he has never been able to understand why so many entrepreneurs still choose to continue to work hard, choose to continue to work day and night, and choose to continue to make the company bigger after becoming famous.
He believes that the reason why those outstanding entrepreneurs work so hard is that in addition to realizing the grand ideals of serving the country by industry and giving back to the society, there must also be personal reasons.
There are many such entrepreneurs, among them, one of the most typical figures is Li Ka-shing. In his 30s, he was already very successful, earning enough money for himself and his family for several lifetimes, but he never stopped working 16 to 17 hours a day until he retired at the age of 90.
There is also Kazuo Inamori in Japan, who is in a similar situation, when he was in his 30s, he was already famous, but until he was in his 80s, he was still working hard every day, and he was still struggling.
Both of them climbed to the peak of their careers in their 30s, but they had no intention of stopping to rest, and they had no idea of staying on the peak to enjoy the scenery and enjoy life, they chose to continue to climb and continue to climb.
Some entrepreneurs, after climbing the highest peak of the mountain in which they are located, even try to climb other mountains. Kazuo Inamori is a prime example of this, who, after making Kyocera a Fortune 500 company, founded a second company, KDDI, at the age of 52, and made it a Fortune 500 company. At the age of 78, he challenged another new peak to become JAL's chairman, quickly pulling it back from the brink of bankruptcy and putting it back on track to thrive.
Why? Why do they keep fighting, so keep climbing?
With the doubts in his heart, Xu Xincheng climbed up the stone steps step by step.
When he stepped on the last stone step, when he climbed to the top of the hill, when he saw the 382-meter-high Baiyun Mountain in the distance, he suddenly understood, yes, he understood.
He finally understood why those excellent entrepreneurs like to constantly challenge the peak, why they like to keep climbing.
Kazuo Inamori said that he loves his work and his career, because, in his work, in his career, he can constantly improve himself, constantly improve himself, and constantly sublimate himself. Work and career are the best practices for him. By climbing the heights of his work and career, he was able to climb to the heights of his life.
Regarding these words, Xu Xincheng only seemed to understand before, but at this moment, he completely understood.
Yes, work and career, especially when you love what you do, they are the best practice, the best way to keep improving yourself, and the best way to climb to the top of life.
In his work, in the past two years, especially in the past two months, Xu Xincheng has been making progress every day, improving himself every day, improving himself every day, and sublimating himself every day.
The reason why he was able to achieve a breakthrough and transformation in such a short period of time in terms of mood, thought, and pattern was because of his work.
Yesterday, he set himself two new goals.
The first goal is to achieve transformation again and again, and to achieve growth again and again.
The second goal is to become better and stronger faster, and to become a person with "big pattern, magnanimity, great ambition and great wisdom" faster.
How?
He is very lucky, his current job, his current career, are what he loves, and they are all worthy of his full effort, so the answer is very simple, realized in the work, achieved in continuous struggle, and achieved in the process of constantly climbing the peak of his career.
