Do you cringe when you encounter a financial crisis? Do you become weak and incompetent, or do you move forward confidently? When the financial crisis hits, getting out of the shadow of the financial crisis is full of difficulties and great pressure. It lies in our choices, but also in our confidence in overcoming difficulties.

Nixon was the president of the United States, whom we knew all too well, but he was such a big man who ruined his political future because of a mistake that lacked self-confidence.

In 1972, Nixon ran for re-election. Because of his success in his first term, most political commentators predicted that Nixon would win by a landslide. However, Nixon himself was very unconfident, he could not get out of the psychological shadow of the past few failures, and was extremely worried about the failure again. Driven by this subconscious, he did something stupid that he would regret for the rest of his life. He assigned his men to infiltrate the Watergate Hotel, the headquarters of his opponent, and installed bugs in his opponent's office. After the incident, he repeatedly blocked the investigation, shirked responsibility, and was forced to resign shortly after the election victory. Nixon, who was supposed to win the game, suffered a crushing defeat due to a lack of self-confidence.

Seiji Ozawa is a world-renowned symphony conductor. In the final of a competition for the best conductors of the world, he conducted the performance according to the score given by the jury, and was keenly aware of the dissonant sounds. At first, he thought it was a mistake in the band's performance, so he stopped and played again, but it was still wrong. He felt that there was a problem with the score. At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, and that he was wrong. In the face of a large number of music masters and authorities, he thought twice and again, and finally said loudly and categorically: "No! It must be a mistake in the score! As soon as he finished speaking, the judges on the judges' bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the competition. It turned out to be a "trap" designed by the judges to test whether the conductor could stand up to his correct claims if he found errors in the score and was "denied" by the authorities. The first two conductors who participated in the finals also found their mistakes, but they were eliminated because they echoed the opinions of the authorities. Seiji Ozawa, however, won the World Conductors Competition because of his self-confidence.

Nixon failed because he didn't have enough self-confidence, but Seiji Ozawa won because he had confidence, which is very enlightening for us. It is not advisable to flinch in the face of a financial crisis, become weak and incompetent, and slump. When the financial crisis hits, getting out of the shadow of the financial crisis is full of difficulties and great pressure. It is our choice to move forward confidently, but also our confidence in overcoming difficulties.

On the afternoon of September 24, 2008, the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China met with well-known figures in the U.S. economic and financial circles at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. ”

In the face of the world economic crisis of that year, China was paying close attention. Therefore, Prime Minister ***, who attended the United Nations conference in New York, even though he had only a short 48-hour trip, specially held a discussion with well-known figures in the US economic and financial circles.

Most of the participants in the symposium belonged to top figures in the economic, financial, and academic circles of the United States: Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Rubin, chairman of Citigroup and former US Treasury Secretary, Li Weicheng, chairman of the US-China Business Council and chairman of the Dow Chemical Company, Stiglitz, Nobel laureate in economics and professor at Columbia University, and Haas, chairman of the US Council on Foreign Relations.

At the beginning of the forum, Premier Wen went straight to the point and threw out a series of questions. "We are concerned about the financial problems in the United States. How big is the problem? Where will it go? What are the implications for the United States and the world? What to do? I'm concerned. ”

Because of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the international financial market has been violently turbulent, and the global economic outlook is not optimistic. Nevertheless, the real economy of the United States, including high-tech economic fundamentals, is good. Over the past few decades, the world economy has managed to overcome the crisis and achieve new developments. Today, the international community is increasingly resilient and experienced in its ability to resist financial risks. In the face of a crisis, the key is to summon courage and confidence, which is more important than gold and currency.

It is under the choice that confidence is more important than gold, the prime minister called on the world to improve confidence, work together, and overcome the crisis, and put forward China's goal of achieving GDP growth of about 8%, and the central government quickly introduced measures to expand domestic demand and promote economic growth. Where does China's confidence come from? It comes from the correct assessment of the situation and the rational judgment of one's own advantages and strength.

When a once-in-a-century financial crisis swept the world, causing sharp turmoil in the world economy, it also brought huge challenges to China's opening up.

In dealing with the international financial crisis, the most important thing is to strengthen confidence. Confidence is the will and belief of a country and a nation. The more confidence you have, the more strength you have to overcome difficulties. With the confidence that things are done by man, there will be the motivation to overcome difficulties and perseverance. A little more confidence will give you one more solution to your problem. With the confidence that there are always more solutions than difficulties, we will do everything possible to find various solutions to problems. A little more confidence will give you an easier way to turn a crisis into an opportunity.
