實力,能力與運氣,巧合?

今天風塵僕僕的從高雄出差回來後,晚上跟一個好朋友聊天時,突然他跟我聊到了一個人,細節我就不多說了,但讓我感觸最深的就是:一個沒有實力與能力的人,才會用嘲笑輕蔑的口吻,來訴說別人的成功是靠運氣或巧合得來的!



放眼過去的歷史與現代的企業成功案例,一場戰役,絶對不會在毫無準備、沒有策略、對敵人了解不夠及兵源糧食不足等種種原因之下,單單靠運氣與巧合打贏。一個商業的談判或業務的推廣,也絕對不會在市場資訊不足、缺乏行銷企劃、對產品和競爭者不夠了解以及缺乏準確的定價策略等種種原因之下,單憑運氣與巧合就獲得客戶的訂單。再者,人們所看到的表面的勝仗與合約的訂定,通常都已經是經過一番角力、磋商、磨合、談判,甚至是爾虞我詐的狀況之後,才換來的豐碩成果。但,人往往都有意無意的忽略掉別人在之前所下的功夫,和付出的心血所累積的無形資產,只看見成功的時候那般輕鬆與愜意,而將一切歸咎於此人天生八字重、運氣好或遇到貴人等等。



常常在想,為何東方人就非得謙虛、低調或悶不吭聲?自從待過外商公司之後,就發現外國人從來不吃這套!我會做的事、我曾經做過的事、我即將要做的事,即便這事只是我心中的想法,我也都要說出來給大家聽,目的不是為了炫燿或自吹自擂,而是為了讓別人知道你之所以存在在公司的價值、你為公司的貢獻與付出是什麼、你又即將為公司帶來什麼樣的東西!這些你要是不說,是不會有人知道也不會有人感激你的。況且,這些都是展現你的實力與能力的時候,不說,只會讓人不知公司為何要花錢請你來上班,更會在你成功的時候,把一且都歸咎於你是靠巧合、碰運氣或是時機好!反觀之,那些真正靠運氣與巧合而不靠能力與實力的人,是很難在成功之前告訴你,他要做什麼、他會做什麼、他能做什麼以及他如何計畫!尤有甚者,更有人是無法在成功或 review 的時候,告訴你他成功或達到目標的原因為何了!



我期許、也相信、更認為自己是有實力與有能力的人。除此之外,我更不是那種會在別人成功時,就說別人是靠運氣與巧合才成功的人,因為我相信,所有成功故事的背後,都有不為人知的酸甜苦辣。千萬別在別人背後說這種話,因為你沒看到別人的努力,不表示那些成功是輕而易舉得來的。



那你又是哪種人咧?

  1. Hey Dude,



    How to sell yourself is the most important thing to learn. What did you have and how

    will you make it? Write those down specificly, then we will know how to SELL ourselves

    to anyone. Works for both business or female relationship, right?



    Fortune is not the reason you are successed, but it helps you to achieve the goal

    without too much time wasting. of course, you have had the excellent ability first, and

    aggressive attitude as well.

  2. hi pal,



    How can you left the message just 10 minutes after I finished my article? We have an

    unspoken consensus!! ha ha ha... wish I used the right words.



    I think you knew them what all I have. Aggressive, positive, money-orientated(ha

    sorry!!), sales sense and customer view point. I am actually not better than all of

    you. The most diffrent between us are just attitude and practice. Nothing more! You

    already had them. Maybe it just my attitude are stronger than yours, I guess.



    I felt you are changing and stronger than before as I told you. Don't worry that we

    will see it.



    Regards,

    Bill

  3. Hey man,



    You know I always read your article on blog everyday, that noticed me concentrating on

    career more and relax for awhile. It's my daily job, ha ha ha..



    All of us have different abilities and backgrounds, that make us to choose different

    life. Never forgot where you from and what you got, then cherish everything you met.
