Chapter 26 Get rid of the "snail" timidity on February 2

When you find that failure is bearable for you, you have to take risks and try boldly, otherwise, your life will lose its color because of your prudence and caution.You will be like an escargot, shrinking inward when encountering anything, and thus losing the opportunity to swim in the sea like a fish.A snail may go many ways in its lifetime, but it will always be curled up in the fragile shell, but the fish can swim freely in the vast blue sea because it got rid of the timidity of the snail.Therefore, overprotection of the self will also lose many opportunities. As long as there is a 50% possibility of success, Yu Minhong dares to take risks. When Yu Minhong resigned from Peking University in 1991, it is conceivable that Yu Minhong personally took risks: he lost his hard-won iron job, lost the glory of Peking University, and what was even more terrible was that there was a record of demerit and punishment in the file.After coming out of Peking University, Yu Minhong was basically sure that no unit would dare to accept him.

However, Yu Minhong is confident. He feels that he is still a competent and qualified English teacher. If he goes to give English classes to the students every night, he can earn 20 yuan. Yuan.Back then, his monthly salary at Peking University was 120 yuan.After the financial account was settled, Yu Minhong straightened his back and started working contentedly.He first helped Beijing Oriental University set up an English training department by means of contracting, and later became independent, pulling his wife to work alone. By 1995, Yu Minhong had accumulated 80,000 yuan, and the number of students who came to New Oriental to attend classes was already spectacular.Based on this premise, Yu Minhong invested all 80,000 yuan in the redevelopment of New Oriental.Even if he fails, Yu Minhong can bear it.Before making this risky move, Yu Minhong made the worst prediction: Even if all the 80,000 yuan is lost, it only means that I have nothing financially for the time being, but I am still an English teacher, and I can still earn money every night. The lecture fee of 20 yuan will not cause you to wander the streets hungry.In the early days of his business, Yu Minhong had two insights: one is to do things that he is sure of, or to do things that can bring good results; the other is to use common sense and wisdom to stay away from danger and misfortune.

Running a business is a dangerous game for the brave.And success is the best gift that God bestows on the brave.
