My friend Xiaohui complained to me: "Lan Lan, you can lose 100 pounds if you look at Jia Ling, why can't I lose even 10 pounds?" Jia Ling's perseverance is really too strong, too self-disciplined, it's really more popular than people! ”
I smiled and said to her: "Xiaohui, you are wrong, Jia Ling's ability to lose 100 pounds is inseparable from perseverance and self-discipline, but this is not the most important thing." If she had been particularly persevering and self-disciplined, she would not have allowed herself to gain more than 200 pounds in the past. ”
She looked at me thoughtfully and said, "Seems to have some truth." So what does it have to do with her being able to lose 100 pounds? ”
I said one word simply: "Money." ”
She didn't know why: "Money? ”
I said, "Yes, money." ”
I said slowly: "Look, the recent movie about Jia Ling losing 100 pounds is said to have passed 3.7 billion yuan at the box office, and this figure is still going up." A few months before the release of this movie, the marketing team released the news of Jia Ling's **100 catties, which raised the appetite of the people who eat melons. ”
Xiaohui said: "That's true. ”
While hoisting the appetite of the people who eat melons, Jia Ling was covered to death. Many curious people who eat melons poured into the cinema to see what Jia Ling was like after **. This movie is estimated to rise to 5 billion box office in the end, no problem, then do the math yourself, how much does Jia Ling make if she loses a pound of meat? ”
She thought about it for a moment, and then shouted with wide eyes: "You can earn 50 million by losing a pound of fat!" Oh my god! If I lose a pound of fat and can earn 5 million, not 5 million, 500,000 is enough, I will lose it even if I am killed! ”
I said: "Not only that, this movie is to finish filming all the scenes where she looked like when she was more than 200 pounds, and then the whole crew stopped and waited for her to lose weight before filming the rest of the scenes, if she can't lose weight, the tens of millions of yuan invested in the early stage will be wasted, so she has to be on the bow, she must lose weight!" And she has a professional team to guide and protect her in an all-round way, nutrition, fitness, body shaping, etc., do you have it? ”
Xiaohui shook her head: "No." ”
I said, "So you know, it's not that you can't lose it, you don't have enough motivation for you to lose it!" ”
There are a few classic sentences in Capital: "If capital has a profit of 50 percent, it will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If there is a profit of three hundred percent, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. ”
Although this analogy is a bit "opposite", it also shows that this is the powerful role of "power".
Of course, there is no doubt that Jia Ling is excellent, but excellence does not have much to do with success.
She once said in a variety show that she had lost weight many times in the past, but all of them ended in failure.
The reason why it didn't work out in the past was because the motivation was not in place. We were able to succeed this time because of enough motivation.
Some people may want to say that Jia Ling is not bad for money. Are business tycoons such as Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, and Li Ka-shing poor? They're not bad for money, but aren't they always running on the way to making more money? No matter how rich you are, you don't think you have a lot of money.
Cao Xueqin said in "Okay Song": "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget." In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he reached a long time, his eyes were closed. ”
There are distant relatives in the rich mountains, and no one asks about the rich city. Money is not everything, but money can solve 99% of the world's problems, and the remaining 1% of the problems need more money to solve.
If working hard to earn money makes us live better and more freely, then why not? It's also a great motivation to move your life forward.
