Nobel laureates need passion in their work, and your husband certainly does, too.
The late Frederick Wilson, who was president of the New York Central Railroad, was once asked in a radio interview what he could do to make his business successful. This was his answer: "I deeply He believes that the more experience a person has, the more serious he is about his career. This is the secret of success that most people tend to ignore. There is not much difference in intelligence between winners and losers. If the strengths of the two are evenly matched, the more successful they are at work. Enthusiastic people are more likely to succeed. Compared with a person who is strong but not enthusiastic, the former is more likely to succeed than the latter.
“A passionate person, whether he is digging soil or running a large company, will regard his work as a sacred calling and take a deep interest in it. A passionate person who is passionate about his work, no matter how difficult the work is, will Or how much training is needed, always carry out it with a calm and unhurried attitude. As long as you hold this attitude, anyone will definitely succeed and achieve his goal. Emerson said: There is no such thing in history. Great careers are not successful because of enthusiasm.’ In fact, this is not a simple and beautiful statement, but an indicator of the road to success.”
If you read this book and realize that having passion for your work is the most important thing, but have no other gains, that's okay. This alone can help your husband get on the road to success. Because passion for work is a must for anyone who wants to be successful - the artist who creates masterpieces, the soap seller, the librarian, and the person who pursues a happy family.
The word zeal comes from the Greek and means “inspired by God.”
People who are passionate about their work have unlimited power. William Firpo is one of Yale's most famous and popular professors. In his revelatory book "The Excitement of Work," he writes: "To me, teaching transcends any skill or profession. If there is such a thing as passion, this is it. My Hobby Teaching is just like a painter's hobby of painting, a singer's hobby of singing, and a poet's hobby of writing poems. Before getting up every day, I think about students excitedly... The most important factor for a person's success in life is to have confidence in himself. Work with passion every day.”
Therefore, you must help your husband develop the habit of being passionate about his work. You may ask me, how to cultivate it? I'm going to tell you six ways in the next chapter. However, you must first make your husband recognize his job and have a passionate attitude. This is a very important concept.
You might as well tell your husband that the boss of any business knows the importance of hiring enthusiastic people, and also knows that such people are difficult to find. Henry Ford said: "I like people who are enthusiastic. If he is enthusiastic, his customers will become enthusiastic, and the business will be done."
Charles Walworth, the founder of the Ten Cent Store Chain, also said that only those who are not passionate about their work will run into obstacles everywhere. '" Charles Scober said: "A person who is passionate about anything will succeed in anything he does. "
Of course, this cannot be generalized. Just like a person who has no talent for music, no matter how passionate and hard he is, it is impossible to become a famous person in the music industry. Having said that, anyone who has the necessary talents, achievable goals, and great enthusiasm will gain something from anything they do, whether materially or spiritually.
Even highly skilled professional jobs require this kind of enthusiasm. Edward Appleton was a great physicist who helped invent radar and wireless telegraphy and also won the Nobel Prize. Time magazine quoted him as inspiring: "I believe that if a person wants to achieve success in scientific research, enthusiasm is far more important than expertise."
If this sentence came from the mouth of ordinary people, it might be considered a layman's statement, but when it comes from an authoritative figure like Appilton, the meaning is very profound. If enthusiasm for scientific research is so important, doesn’t it occupy an even more important position for ordinary employees?
To illustrate this point, we can quote some words from the famous life insurance salesman Frank Pat. His book "How I Succeeded in Sales" surpassed any previous book on how to sell.
Here are some of the lessons Pat lists in his book:
"It was 1907, not long after I entered the professional baseball world, and I got the biggest blow in my life because I was kicked out. I couldn't move well, so the manager of the team wanted me to walk. He told me Said: "You are so slow and slow, as if you have been in the stadium for 20 years. To tell you the truth, Frank, after you leave here, no matter where you go or do anything, if you don't pick up your spirit, you will never be able to do anything." There will be a way out.
"Originally, my monthly salary was one hundred and seventy-five dollars. After I started walking, I joined the Atlansk team and my monthly salary was reduced to twenty-five dollars. With such a small salary, I certainly had no enthusiasm for my work, but I was determined to give it a try. .After staying for about ten days, an old team member named Denny Mihen introduced me to Xinfan..On the first day in Xinfan, my life underwent an important change.
"Because no one there knew about my past, I was determined to become the most passionate player in New England. In order to do that, of course, I had to take action.
"As soon as I came on the field, my whole body seemed to be electrified. I threw the ball at a high speed so hard that the hands of the person who caught the ball were numb. I remember one time, I rushed into the third base with a fierce momentum, and the third baseman I was so petrified that I missed the ball and stole the base. The temperature was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit that day. I was running around the ballpark and was very likely to collapse from heatstroke.
“The results of this enthusiasm are astonishing. It has three effects:
“1. All the fears in my heart disappeared, and I developed unexpected skills.
“Two, because of my enthusiasm, other team members also became enthusiastic.
“Third, I did not suffer from heat stroke; I have never felt so healthy during and after the game.
"The next morning, when I read the newspaper, I couldn't be more excited. The newspaper said: 'The new Pat who came in is like a thunderball. The whole team is full of energy under his influence. .Not only did his team win, it had the most exciting game of the season.
Because of my dedicated attitude, my monthly salary increased from $25 to $185, an increase of seven times.
"For the next two years, I was a third baseman. My salary was increased thirty-fold. Why? It was passion, nothing else."
But then Pat injured his arm and had to give up playing baseball. Then, he went to work as an insurance agent at Feiteli Life Insurance Company. He had no results for more than a year, so he was very depressed. But then he became interested in it again, just like he used to play baseball.
Currently, he is a big name in the life insurance industry. Not only were some people asking him to write articles, but others were also asking him to speak about his experiences. He said: "I have been in sales for thirty years. I have seen many people whose income has increased exponentially due to their passionate attitude towards their work. I have also seen other people who have increased their income exponentially due to lack of Enthusiasm leads to desperation. I firmly believe that only enthusiasm is the most important factor in successful sales.”
If passion can have such a surprising effect on anyone, it should do the same for your husband.
Therefore, from the perspective of those mentioned above, the following conclusion can be drawn: A passionate attitude is a necessary condition for doing anything. Please convince your husband of this. Anyone who meets this condition can achieve success, and his career will surely flourish.
The son of bandleader Bob Crosby was once asked about the day-to-day life of his father and his uncle, Bing Crosby. He replied: "They are always happily working."
"Then what do you hope to be when you grow up?" The curious person asked him again.
"It's also a pleasure to work." The young Crosby replied without hesitation.
People who are passionate about their work work happily.
If you want your husband to get ahead, starting today, you should establish in him the concept of being serious about work, that is, recognizing the importance of a sincere attitude, and then help him implement the six methods in the next chapter.
