今日名言:Perseverance is falling nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth. 只要堅韌不拔,成功會從第19次失敗開始。
Hints:
Ray Meyer
DePaul University
Ray Meyer led the DePaul University basketball team to 42 winning seasons. When his team lost its first game after 29 straight victories at home, his response was: "Great! Now we can focus on winning, rather than on not losing." Meyer showed a spirit of working towards positive goals, pouring one's energy into the task, and not looking behind and making excuses for past events.
For a lot of people, the word "failure" carries with it a feeling of coming to an end, but for the successful leader, failure is a beginning, a seed of hope. Leaders don't allow themselves to be held prisoner by the fear of failure. They don't even use the word "failure". Instead, they rely on words like "false start", never failure.
雷·邁耶率領德保羅大學籃球隊贏得了42個賽季。 他帶領的球隊曾在國內29場連勝,此后第一次輸了一場比賽,當時他的反應是:“好極了! 現在我們能夠把精力集中到打贏比賽上面來,而不是放在不輸球上面。” 邁耶表現出這樣一種精神:向積極的目標奮進,全身心地投入工作,而不是往后看,為過去的事找借口。
對許多人來說,“失敗”這個詞讓人產生一種窮途末路的感覺,但是對于成功的領導者來說,失敗是開始,是希望的種子。 領導者不讓自己淪為失敗恐懼癥的俘虜。 他們甚至不使用“失敗”這個詞,而只用像“起步失誤”這樣的詞語,從來不言“失敗”。
