Xu Xincheng soon realized that he was in a state of gaffe, and he knew that at this time, the expression and expression on his face must be very strange. Two days ago, when the plane was flying from Dubai to Munich, Germany, Lucy invited him to join the "First Ruler Program" and invite him to become the CEO of Sino-American Information Flight, he made a serious gaffe. That night, when he recalled this, he felt extremely annoyed, and immediately made up his mind, and solemnly swore to the sky, swearing that no matter when and where, no matter how turbulent his heart was, no matter how his emotions were ups and downs, he would never lose his temper in front of Lucy again. Now, however, he ......

Fortunately, the situation at this time is not too bad, at least it is far from being as bad as last time, and, most importantly, at this moment, he has realized the problem, if he adjusts it now, he should be able to get better quickly, and he should be able to stop the precipice.

Xu Xincheng immediately closed his mouth as naturally as possible, and took three deep breaths in a row, while he tried to suppress his chaotic thoughts, and after a while, he said apologetically: "Lucy, I'm very sorry! ”

Lucy, on the other hand, smiled quietly as if he didn't care about what had just happened. That smile seemed to have magical power, and it immediately calmed down Xu Xincheng's turbulent heart just now, and the panic just now was also swept away by that smile.

Only then did Lucy speak, "Steve, your reaction just now is normal, don't worry. And, I should say, your reaction was much better than I expected, and this time, you realized that you had a problem with your mind in a very short period of time, and immediately made adjustments, and it only took two or three seconds to adjust. Your psychological quality is much better than ordinary people, and, more importantly, you have been improving rapidly, which is the most valuable. All of this confirms my assertion that you are better than you imagined, and that you have more potential than you imagined. ”

After hearing this, Xu Xincheng's mood suddenly returned to normal, and in an instant, the anxiety in his heart just now disappeared immediately. In fact, he cared more about Lucy's opinion of him than his own feelings, Lucy not only didn't care about his gaffe just now, but also praised his performance, from Lucy's sincere look, he could see that her appreciation was heartfelt and sincere.

Xu Xincheng said gratefully: "Lucy, thank you!" He wanted to say a few more words, but he really didn't know what to say the most appropriate, he thought about it, and sometimes, the word "thank you" already contained a lot of meanings, and it was enough.

He slowly picked up a bottle of mineral water placed on the table, took a deep breath, unscrewed the lid, took a sip of water, and exhaled deeply while putting down the mineral water.

Lucy is right, he also obviously feels that his current self-regulation ability is indeed very good, in fact, before meeting Lucy, his self-regulation ability is not bad, and with his own deliberate efforts, he has been constantly improving, however, the speed and degree of his improvement are relatively slow, but in the past two months, after getting to know Lucy, he has encountered too many tests, and he has encountered too many things that have surprised him, much more than his past 10 years combined, so, in such a special situationNaturally, his self-regulation ability is improving rapidly and dramatically.

As soon as he thought of "something that surprised him", he began to think of Lucy's invitation again, and when he remembered that choice, the nasty sense of fear and weakness came over him again, although this time the intensity was much weaker, but they still rushed to the left and right in his heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Lucy didn't speak again, just looked at him silently, looking at him with encouraging eyes, which made him both moved and a little embarrassed, he knew that he had to speak, he had to find a topic, and besides, this topic had to be related to the situation just now, and in a flash of thought, he thought about it, and thought of what to say.

He said calmly: "Lucy, you are quite right, even if you are from the grassroots, you can achieve a great career, but we live in different times, opportunities and social environments, Joe happened to be on the eve of the development of personal computers and the Internet, and he happened to be in Silicon Valley, and it happened to be in the period when Silicon Valley began to develop rapidly. That era has passed, and in this era, can there still be such great business leaders?"

Lucy said lightly: "We always feel that a certain era in the past is the golden age, which is a common problem of most of us, especially most intellectuals, I call it a variant of 'the rounder of the moon syndrome in other countries', this kind of thinking is rooted in our lack of confidence in ourselves, rooted in our dissatisfaction with the situation we are in, rooted in our ignorance of the true potential of our own era."

I can categorically say to you, especially for entrepreneurs, that we are living in an era that is much better than Joe's time, that we are living in an unprecedented golden age, and that we are now living in what will be called the 'best golden age' in the eyes of people in the next few decades. Moreover, the entrepreneurial environment in China, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing and other Chinese cities is definitely no worse than that of Silicon Valley. ”

Xu Xincheng felt that Lucy's last words were like a passionate ode to the times in his heart to arouse a surging entrepreneurial passion, his eyes flashed with the firmness and hope that entrepreneurs are full of confidence in the future, he nodded to Lucy firmly, and said, "Yes." ”

"In short, in our time, there will continue to be business leaders who are as great, if not greater, than Joe. ”

As soon as he heard the words "as great as Joe", a sense of fear and a sense of emptiness once again raged in Xu Xincheng's heart, he knew what Lucy meant, and he said a little unconfidently: "Before founding Company A, although Qiao did not have a good background, good education and good qualifications, he was a born leader, a natural changer, a born creator, a born innovator, and a natural changemaker. However, we ordinary people ......"

Lucy shook her head lightly and said, "This 'innate' assertion is not accurate. As a young man, Joe did have great potential to become an excellent leader, but the reason why he was able to become a world-class business leader and a leader of the times was that the 'acquired' effort and chance were much more important than the 'innate' talent.

In fact, most of us have great potential, and it can be said that most of us are no worse than Joe in terms of 'innate' talent, the difference is that we all work hard in 'acquired', and of course, chance is also important.

I can say again categorically that, firstly, your 'innate' talent is no worse than Joe's, and in some respects even stronger, and second, your degree of effort in 'acquired' is far greater than that of ordinary people. ”

Lucy paused slightly, raised her voice a little, and said: "One of the most important factors for a person's success is the hard work and hard work of the day after tomorrow; As for chance, everyone, in their life, will encounter a variety of opportunities, a person to achieve a great career, the most important thing is whether to grasp those fleeting opportunities. In terms of hard work and hard work, it goes without saying that you have done very well in this regard, and as for the grasp of opportunities, you have also done very well before. ”

Xu Xincheng immediately repeated the word "chance" in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Yes! Chance, I have always had a very good chance in the past two years. Before the summer vacation of my junior year, I saw the recruitment revelation of Hongfei AI Division, which was my first good opportunity, and I seized that opportunity. After a difficult interview with one in a million, I met Senior Sister Li, and I seized the opportunity to ask her for advice and learning; Then, I met General Manager Li, who gave me a lot of opportunities to show my ability and quality, and I also seized those opportunities; and then, I met many other opportunities, and through my own efforts, I seized most of them. ”

Xu Xincheng stopped and took a deep breath, at this time his mind was spinning, thinking of a lot, he had indeed encountered a lot of opportunities in the past two years, Zhou Dedao had said to him that his luck was really good, there were so many good opportunities, and Xu Xincheng's reply to him was: "The harder and harder people will naturally encounter more opportunities." ”

Suddenly, the brightest and brightest lightning flashed in his mind, "Yes, the biggest opportunity in my life, of course, was to meet Lucy, without Lucy, how could I be where I am today!"

Lucy said meaningfully: "As for now and in the future, you will have more and more good opportunities, and because you have more and more opportunities, you will also face choices. For you, the key point has changed now, and it is no longer whether you can grasp them, but whether you can make the right choice. ”

Of course, Xu Xincheng knew what Lucy meant behind these words, she was referring to that choice, for him, that choice was a big opportunity, the biggest opportunity in his life.

He thought to himself, "What choice should I make in the face of such an opportunity?"
