Chapter 3691: Marry Her as His Wife

Bill Gates said to his children, "If you can consider problems one step ahead of others, when others are still worried about the difficulties in front of them, you are already thinking about how to play the next move. Success will definitely belong to you."

In the 1970s, computers were definitely rare items for people at that time. However, Bill Gates dared to get involved in this line of work at that time, and he did not just stop his ideas at the stage of daydreaming. Not only did he see a beautiful future one step ahead of others, but he also took action one step ahead of others, which is why Microsoft succeeded later.

Opportunities are equal for everyone, but why can't many people capture them? Just like hunting, after the prey appears, why do some people act as if they haven't seen anything and let their prey slip away quietly? Discovering opportunities is important, and seizing opportunities is even more important. This requires us to be prepared to discover and seize opportunities one step ahead of others. If you are just waiting, you will never wait for success, and if you are well prepared in advance, then when opportunities appear, you can seize them and successfully realize your thoughts.

There is such a fable: three people were walking together, and one of them suddenly found a shining gold coin in front. His eyes were fixed on it, and almost at the same time, another person shouted: "Gold coin!" Before the words fell, the third person had already bent down and picked up the gold coin. This story tells us that in the face of opportunities, being fast-mouthed is not as good as being fast-handed. Everyone has eyes to discover opportunities, but not everyone has the ability to take practical action one step ahead of others. If there is no action, just walking around outside the door of opportunity, then the door of success will never open to you.

Opportunity is a fleeting thing. Before the opportunity comes, the best way is to wait, and make full preparations for the arrival of the opportunity while waiting. This kind of waiting, like a fully drawn bow and arrow, can move forward with full force once the target is found, reaching the final point of the thought.

Always be one step ahead of others. On the one hand, you must do more comprehensive preparation work than others. Only in this way can you have enough capital to compete with others for the upcoming opportunities. On the other hand, when opportunities come, you must have eyes that are good at discovering opportunities. In addition, taking active action is crucial. On the road to success, complete these three jumps, and every step you take more than others, the final results you achieve will definitely be a little more than others.

The next step is to do it immediately when you think about it in the face of opportunities. Before doing something, you must have a lot of preliminary preparation, but if you want to wait until the conditions are perfect before taking action, then you may never start, because there will always be some things that are not prepared well enough, or you will miss the opportunity, or the competition will be too fierce. There is no perfect starting time in the real world. You must take action when problems arise. As long as you think about it, do it immediately. Fast action is far more valuable than staying in place and daydreaming.

How the idea is, in itself, is not important, because all good ideas are based on action. A perfect idea only has value after it is executed. Good timing is not waited for, but created in actual action. If you have an idea that you think is really good, then do something for it. If you don't take action yourself, then this idea will never be realized.

People are used to delaying things by one step, and are always willing to enjoy the final comfort before taking action. It's just that after resting, they want to continue to enjoy it. In this way, until the deadline is reached, the action has not started, and the result is that procrastination directly leads to the failure of the action.

There was a well-known philosopher in India who was born with a special literary temperament and didn't know how many women he had fascinated. One day, a woman came to knock on the door and said, "Let me be your wife! If you miss me, you will never find a woman who loves you more than me!" Although the philosopher also liked her, he still replied, "Let me consider it!"

Afterwards, the philosopher used his consistent spirit of studying knowledge to list the pros and cons of marriage separately, only to find that the pros and cons were equal, and he really didn't know how to choose. So, he fell into long-term distress. No matter what new reasons he found, it only increased the difficulty of choice. Finally, he reached a conclusion—when a person is facing a choice and cannot make a decision, he should choose the one he has not experienced yet. "I am clear about the situation of not getting married, but I don't know what the situation of getting married will be. Yes, I should agree to that woman's request."

The philosopher came to the woman's home and asked the woman's parents, "Where is your daughter? Please tell her that I have considered it clearly, and I have decided to marry her as my wife!"

The woman's father replied coldly, "You are ten years late. My daughter is now the mother of three children!"

When the philosopher passed away, he left a maxim: "Life cannot be hesitant. Only by doing it when you think about it can you have no regrets in life."

Doing it when you think about it is not being arbitrary, but taking action based on the grasp of your own strength. Cultivate the habit of taking immediate action, which is the habit of immediately putting thoughts into action. Follow objective laws, add subjective efforts, and strive to obtain benefits from risks. This is the psychological quality that successful people must have.

Everyone has colorful ideals and visions for the future. If you want all this to become reality, then the only way is to stand up and take action immediately. Don't blame yourself for not being fully prepared. Life is a big stage, and all the experience and lessons you need can be taught here. And what you need to do is to take action immediately after thinking about it. Having ideals without realizing them, and having plans without knowing them, will only lead to the destruction of various visions, ideals, and plans.

Yes, Zhao Desan felt that what he was facing now was an opportunity that suddenly appeared in front of him, and this opportunity was actually not just open to him alone, because the position of Director of the District Committee Office must have been eyed by many people, and they were making moves behind the scenes, striving to sit on this seat. And his current advantage was that the leaders in the district basically had no other objections to Sister Wu's proposal. At this time, he must seize the opportunity, take practical action, and win this opportunity in one fell swoop. And what he needed to do one step ahead of others was to find Deputy Secretary Liu. If the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee stood on his side, then this matter would be a sure thing.

Yes! Take action immediately. Zhao Desan was finally inspired and made up his mind not to consider the outcome of the matter for now. Only after taking action can he know what the outcome will be. After making this decision, he waited until before getting off work in the afternoon and called Biaozi, asking Biaozi to come to the unit entrance to pick him up. Fifteen minutes before getting off work, Zhao Desan left the unit in advance and asked Biaozi to drive him to the city.

After arriving in the city, Zhao Desan's first thing was not to go straight to Deputy Secretary Liu's house, but to ask Biaozi to drive him to the shop where he bought the jade cabbage for Sister Wu last time. After wandering around the shop, he originally liked a pair of jade bracelets, but felt that Sister Wu had already given jade products, and if he gave this thing again, it would seem to have no new ideas. After thinking about it, Zhao Desan simply spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy a famous brand watch for women and asked the waiter to pack it up, before getting into the car and asking Biaozi to drive him to the second destination—the home of Liu Xuemei, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

Liu Xuemei's home was not in the family area of the Municipal Committee, but in a villa area in the suburbs. When Biaozi drove Zhao Desan to the villa area, Biaozi couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at this piece of high-end luxury villa, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Desan, "Big Brother, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Desan said, "Looking for a leader, you wait for me in the car." Saying this, Zhao Desan took the watch and got out of the car, walking quickly toward the villa where Deputy Secretary Liu lived.

Biaozi couldn't help but sigh: Being a leader is really good, living in such a good house! When I have money, I will also buy such a house for my mother! ===== CHAPTER 3692 =====
