Wait patiently for success

Wisdom story

A famous salesman is about to bid farewell to his sales career. At the invitation of industry associations and all walks of life, he will give a farewell to his career speech in the largest gymnasium in the city.?

That day, the venue was full, and people were eagerly and anxiously waiting for the greatest salesman of the contemporary era to give a wonderful speech.As the curtain slowly opened, a huge iron ball hung in the center of the stage.For this iron ball, a tall iron frame was set up on the stage.?

An old man walked out amid the warm applause of people and stood on the side of the iron frame.He was wearing a red sportswear and a pair of white rubber shoes under his feet.?

People looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.?

At this time, the two staff members carried a big hammer and placed it in front of the old man.The host said to the audience at this time: Please invite two strong people to come to the stage.Many young people stood up, and in a blink of an eye, two people ran to the stage quickly.?

The old man told them the rules of the game and asked them to use this big iron hammer to hit the hanging iron ball until they swung it up.A young man rushed to pick up the hammer, pulled his posture, swung the hammer, and smashed the hanging ball with all his might. With a deafening sound, the lob ball did not move.He then smashed the lob with a big hammer one after another, and soon he was out of breath.The other person was not outdone. He took the big hammer and hit the lob ball jingling, but the iron ball still didn't move.The audience gradually disappeared from the audience, and the audience seemed to think it was useless and waited for the old man to explain.

The venue returned to peace. The old man took out a small hammer from his shirt pocket and then hit the huge iron ball seriously.

He knocked the iron ball with a small hammer, then paused, and knocked it with a small hammer again.People watched strangely, and the old man knocked on it, then paused, and continued to do it.?

10Minutes have passed, 20 minutes have passed, and the venue has already started to stir up. Some people simply shouted and scolded, and people used various voices and actions to vent their dissatisfaction.The old man still knocked a small hammer and stopped working, and he seemed to have not heard people shouting at all.People began to leave angrily, and large vacancies appeared in the venue.The people who stayed seemed to be yelling that they were tired, and the venue gradually became quiet.?

About 40 minutes after the old man beat him, a woman sitting in front suddenly screamed: The ball moved! In an instant, the venue was silent, and people were staring at the iron ball attentively.The ball moved at a very small amplitude, and it was difficult to detect if you didn't look carefully.The old man was still hammering, and the lob ball was getting higher and higher as the old man hit the hammer. It pulled the iron rack and clanged, and its huge power strongly shocked everyone present.Finally, there were bursts of warm applause from the court. Amid the applause, the old man turned around and slowly put the small hammer into his pocket.?

The old man spoke, and he only said one sentence: On the road to success, if you don’t have the patience to wait for success, then you have to face failure with your whole life’s patience.
