Chapter 328 What is success and how is success counted?
New Year's Day is not considered a big festival for Chinese people. After all, the word New Year's Day, a few years ago, specifically refers to the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival.It was only later that the Western calendar was changed, and New Year's Day was put on January [-] of the Gregorian calendar.

But this year's New Year's Day at Haida University is unprecedentedly lively.Although the school gave the students a holiday in accordance with the regulations, except for a very small number of students who were confirmed to have something to do, most of the other students stayed in the school.

According to the notice of the school and the student union, this New Year's Day event will not only have celebrity speeches, class reunions, old alumni gatherings, but also forums where successful alumni come to the school to recruit and attract investment, which makes many juniors and seniors ready to find jobs The students have used their brains, this is a good opportunity!

Lin Dong's speech was scheduled for the fourth session. The speakers in the first three sessions were two professors from Haidali, and a CEO of a listed company in the top [-] in the country. The weight of these three people must be higher than that of Lin Dong. Serious, so Lin Dong waited and listened with peace of mind.

There were two lectures a day, and Lin Dong's speech was scheduled for the afternoon of January [-]. When he walked into the school auditorium, he was a little dazed by the warm applause.

There are a lot of people here!
Although it was free to participate, Lin Dong also participated in the first few sessions. The few heavyweights who came to listen to the speech almost made the entire auditorium [-]% full.The content of the talk is also very real, mainly about the trend and analysis of the current mainstream politics, culture, and economy.

Lin Dong considered himself a junior, even if he came to the stage, the maximum number of people who came to listen would be [-]%. Unexpectedly, after a quick sweep, it was full, and many of them were sitting in the aisle with their own ponytails!
When did you become so popular?
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the tension that had just arisen, Lin Dong walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the students who were lowered down. The applause that had just weakened was loud again.

Lin Dong smiled wryly and said into the microphone: "I'm flattered that everyone is so enthusiastic, but at the same time I'm also worried, if I don't speak well, will I be coaxed down?"

"Hahahaha..." Compared with the previous few, although the speeches of the previous ones were solid, organized and in-depth, the students obviously accepted Lin Dong's opening remarks similar to face-to-face chatting. While laughing, they also let everyone see Lin Dong on the other side—isn't he like the cold, silent, and strangers in the legend?
"The topic I'm talking to you today is what is success and how does it count as success?"

As soon as Lin Dong's words rang out, the auditorium fell silent. All the students concentrated and began to listen.

Several school leaders sitting in the front row and the two professors who gave a speech yesterday saw this situation. The two professors looked at each other and smiled wryly: "It seems that our influence is far less than this little junior!"

The school leader said with a smile: "As far as the students are concerned, what you say is more academic, and this Lin Dong is a living example of success, so he will naturally be more attractive. After all, for the students, the predicament in front of them is more attractive. It needs to be treated more seriously, so don't worry about it."

"Listen, let's see what wonderful ideas this elementary school boy can come up with!"

Lin Dong didn't know that there were school leaders and a few masters listening, he glanced at the students below, and talked eloquently: "Maybe many people will find success very difficult, and will regard success as something that requires a lot of hard work. Therefore, success is unattainable. In fact, success is a flexible goal that can be easily achieved. The key is, how do you think about success?

For some people, if you overcome laziness and insist on attending classes on time every day, you will be successful; if you study hard and try not to fail the final exam, you will also be successful; tutor on weekends, save enough to buy a small gift for your parents It is even more successful to see the smiles of your parents; if you can apply what you have learned and come up with some useful small inventions and creations, this is a greater success; for most of you here , successfully obtained the graduation certificate and degree certificate, and found a fairly good job, that is the greatest success so far!
Therefore, in fact, success is not difficult for us. The key point is at what height you set your goal for success.If you compare yourself with Ma Yun and Li Yanhong, success may be out of reach. If you only set yourself at a position one or two meters higher than yourself, lift your toes, extend your arms, or find another ladder to reach the position, then Success just needs some hard work and luck, it can be achieved!

Maybe after hearing my words, some people will not take it seriously. That kind of small success is not what many people expect.But what I want to tell you is that without these small successes, it is impossible to accumulate huge gains.Even the success of Jack Ma and Robin Li did not happen overnight.Many people only see the halo and great gains when they succeed, and not many people study their step-by-step accumulation and tribulations when they are not successful.

Therefore, just like climbing a mountain, don’t aim at Mount Everest at the first sight, but first set your goal on the small green hill 200 meters above sea level outside the school. Sometimes, when you look back, you have reached such a high level, and you will feel that success is so simple! "

"Wow—!"

As soon as Lin Dong's words fell, the auditorium immediately burst into warm applause.

Lin Dong bowed. In fact, he knew that what he said might not be clear to the students, but it might be more convincing and shocking if he said it from the mouth of a successful person.

"Measurable." Wei Wenxing, the vice principal of the school sitting in the front row, nodded and commented, "Not as impetuous as his peers, not bad!"

It is already very rare to be able to get Vice President Wei to say something good.

Lin Dong didn't prepare a long manuscript. After he finished speaking, he casually said to his classmates: "After all, I'm only a junior, and I'm far behind in terms of knowledge, accumulation of knowledge, and experience. Those seniors, so I didn’t prepare much to talk about. It’s better for you to ask me to answer your questions. The following is a free question and answer session. I will try my best to tell you some things you want to know. It is a small question and answer Let's clear up the confusion. If any student has a question, you can ask it!"

brush!
As soon as Lin Dong's voice fell, the students who reacted quickly raised their hands high. Lin Dong glanced at them, and adding to the hands that were being raised one after another, [-]% of the people present raised them.

Lin Dong smiled wryly, is this the rhythm of asking me to death?

PS: I wish everyone success!
