众人皆知，J.K.罗琳在布鲁姆斯伯里（Bloomsbury）出版社最终同意出版哈利波特1之前，被拒绝了12次之多。但仅仅几年后，她就成为了第一位身价亿万的作家。至于斯蒂芬•乔布斯（ Steve Jobs ）被苹果解雇后，他做了什么？他出奇不意地发起反击，至今仍被传道。在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上，乔布斯表示自己最终的成功得益于早年的失败。 “当时，我没有察觉，但事后证明：被苹果解雇是曾发生在我身上最好的一件事。成功的沉重被从头来过的轻松所取代，任何事情都不那么确定。那时的我享受自由，进入了生命中最有创造力的阶段。有些时候，生活会拿起一块石头往你脑袋猛砸一下。但千万不要失去信心。我深信，唯一支持我走下去的是我热爱我所做的事情。你们也必须找到自己所喜欢的东西。” J.K. Rowling was famously turned down 12 times before Bloomsbury agreed to publish the firstHarry Potterbook. Just a few years later, she became the first billionaire author. What happened when Steve Jobs got fired from Apple? He made an unexpected comeback that's still spoken of today. Jobs attributed his eventual success to his initial failure in his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University: I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life ... Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. |
