Chapter 8 All encounters are not meaningless
Old Hanks opened his mouth, he was really moved by Cheng Daqi's words.
But when he thought about the rumors about those illegal immigrants who were hired for cheap but had all kinds of big problems, he still suppressed his thoughts.
Shaking his head, Old Hanks took out five twenty-dollar bills from the counter and handed them to Cheng Daqi.
“I really want to give you a chance, but there are many reasons, many reasons,
Chan, you are a smart young man and there is only so much I can do to help you. I wish you good luck. "
Cheng Daqi laughed loudly. He put the money handed over by Old Hanks back on the counter and said jokingly.
"No way, did you know how to do it when you were young? Do you accept charity from others like this? ”
Old Hanks was a little puzzled at first, why there are illegal immigrants who don’t even want US dollars.
But after listening to Cheng Daqi’s words, he also shook his head in relief.
< br>
"Let's do this, Chan, just think I borrowed it from you. Although this is the first time we meet, I am willing to trust you."
How to build trust with strangers?
Enter the other party’s comfort zone—step into the other party’s store.
Indicate the purpose of finding a job and show weakness to the enemy - reduce your own threat.
Smart and sincere communication—creating a reliable impression.
Now, Hanks Sr. has initially trusted Cheng Daqi.
He is willing to lend one hundred dollars to Cheng Daqi, or give it to Cheng Daqi.
Speed up the American dream of becoming a great person.
"I have to congratulate you, Mr. Hanks, your investment will definitely have a good rate of return!"
Cheng Daqi put away five twenty-dollar bills. Money, shook hands with Mr. Hanks, turned and left the auto repair shop.
Old Hanks stared blankly at Cheng Daqi's leaving figure, continued to lower his head and maintained his pipe.
All encounters are not meaningless.
As long as you are good at discovering and transforming, you can always get something from it.
A person's life of just a few decades is short.
It has taken more than ten years to go from an ignorant and weak baby to a capable and thoughtful young man.
The time when you can really start a career is only the thirty years from your twenties to your fifties.
From now on, we can only stay in business, but it will be difficult to expand.
Of course, there are always outstanding people, but there are more ordinary people.
Cheng Daqi never thought that he was a great person.
He has seen too many people who are better off than him, have a higher starting point than him, are smarter than him, and the most terrifying thing is that they work harder than him.
When we are rolling in the dust, everyone is covered in mud. Who can tell which one of the people around him is the uncut jade?
But to go up, just walk a little bit, it doesn’t need to be too much or too far, just a little bit is enough.
You will see all kinds of heroes of the moment.
Cheng Daqi has met people who are extremely smart, people who are like gods in deciding things, and people who are bold and careful.
He finally summed up his only advantage.
persist in.
Keep thinking, growing, changing, and acting.
Even if you become a homeless person, what are you afraid of?
Just do it.
What should I be afraid of if one auto repair shop rejects me? When I become a professional, I can find ten more!
What should I be afraid of if ten auto repair shops reject it? Then I will change my mind!
What should I do if changing my thinking doesn’t work?
Then review the situation again and see what points you can rely on in the situation you are facing.
Cheng Daqi is clear.
Life is about moving forward against the current.
Time is a fair yoke, locking your life in just a few decades.
Friend, raise your hand and look at your watch. The needle is spinning and spinning, and the shackles are getting tighter and tighter!
Tightly wound.
This is the scariest thing!
People always hope that their lives will get better as time goes by.
However, it is uncertain whether life will be good or not, but as time goes by, your choices will only become fewer and fewer.
Go against the current and climb the ladder of life.
The river of time is extremely fast and washes away everyone fairly. The process of perseverance is extremely painful. The more suffering you encounter and the more you have to persevere, the more you will be tortured and want to give up.
It wasn’t until the third operation failed that Cheng Daqi finally gave up.
Destiny.
Wandering about in vain is no match for destiny.
I wanted to start a career and have a family to support my parents, but I failed and lost everything.
The next time I try it again, my family members in my previous life have been confirmed to be gone, and there is no trace of my father’s name appearing in his hometown.
There are so many things in life, but in the end there are only three words: too late.
Time is limited, Cheng Daqi can only try his best to grow in every gap.
He chooses to make every encounter meaningful.
Same time, same experience, Cheng Daqi wants to gain more than others.
Review the process, refine the highlights, and summarize the results.
Keep doing it and having a healthy body is already the greatest wealth.
What he has to do now is to try his best to take every step well.
So, in the afternoon of this day in Saint-Loduo, a tireless figure appeared on the street.
From one auto repair shop to another.
The bathing was done, but Cheng Daqi received a lot of rejections.
《Grice Chain》
"I really like your positive attitude, but our store already has enough manpower. It's impossible for me to let an old employee leave because of you. Please look elsewhere."
"Block Brothers Car"
"Man, Asians are not welcome here, leave!"
"Marilyn Repair"
"You also saw it, my store business It’s so bad that we can’t support another auto mechanic, even if the salary you want is very low. After all, we don’t have that much work for two people to do.”
"Motorcycle Boy"
"If you're not a customer, get out. Any cat or dog can say that he is an auto mechanic. Do you know what a motorcycle is?"
"Boris Auto Service"< br>
"Hahaha, you can do everything, then we will lose our jobs. We are not allowed to go in to see our boss. Get out of here and don't let me see you nearby, otherwise your head will move."
《Quality Maintenance》
"We're not hiring. Forget it. Let me make it clear to you. We only recruit white people. Do you understand? Don't talk nonsense outside."
"Daddy Tang Cars"
" You may be excellent, but you are an illegal immigrant. What if you steal something and run away? I'm afraid I can't give you this opportunity."
"Excellent Used Cars"
"We are. You are engaged in antique cars, and most of them are American antique cars. Your auto repair experience in China should have nothing to do with antique cars, right?”
How many times can failure destroy a person's will?
Some people are once-in-a-lifetime. As long as such people encounter a little setback, they become at a loss.
Some people are more resistant and have rich experience in facing life, but they will retreat after several failures.
Chengdaqi is different.
He didn’t think he had encountered failure today.
His value does not need to be defined by others.
If we can’t cooperate with this company, we’ll be the next one.
Just improve the method next time we talk about cooperation.
There are other reasons why the next company is unwilling to cooperate, so accept it calmly.
Discrimination, prejudice, arrogance, all of these are normal conditions in society.
What's more, he also met people like old Hanks who gave generously and met people who let him use the employee bathroom to take a shower.
It is precisely because of the pain and difficulty of the process that the sense of accomplishment after achieving the goal is increased.
