Drill yourself into the soil as a seed

Stephen Wilson is not only the CEO of the US Visa Machinery Manufacturing Company, but also the most influential mechanical manufacturing engineer in the United States. However, it is almost unexpected that his job search is from a workshop cleaner. Start! Since the 1980s, Vescia has been very famous. After graduating from Harvard University, Steven and several students who studied mechanical engineering are very eager to enter the company, so they write a letter of recommendation to the company. However, their cover letters were quickly returned and told that the company was not prepared to hire people with only theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. After being rejected, Steven's classmates entered the management directly in other companies with their academic qualifications, but Steven still kept his eyes on the company that best let him play his talents!
On one occasion, Steven helped his father harvest sunflowers on the farm. He found that because of the rain, many sunflowers sprouted at the top of the plant. At this time, the father joked: "These sunflowers can't wait to sprout, only the result There is a dead end. If you want to sprout and bloom, you have to drill into the mud!" After listening to this, Stephen suddenly thought of something!
After returning home that day, Stephen stuffed his diploma into the drawer and then came to the company, saying that he was willing to pay for the company without paying.
Stephen's approach made his classmates puzzled, such a talent, actually working in the position of sweeping the floor. But Stephen is increasingly aware in his daily work that this job that is dismissive in the eyes of others will give him some kind of condition. Because Stephen walked through the cleaning process day after day, he carefully observed the production situation of the entire company, and made detailed records one by one. After more than half a year, he discovered that the company had a technical loophole in production. . To this end, he spent nearly a year on design, and through the large amount of statistical data accumulated in the work, he finally came up with a method to change the status quo.
Stephen tried to tell the general manager about his ideas, but he had no chance to see the general manager. After half a year, many of the company's orders have been returned due to product quality problems. If you can't get high-quality products, the company will suffer huge losses!
In order to save the disadvantages, the company's board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, but the meeting has not been completed for six hours. At this time, Stephen slammed the door of the conference room with his own thoughts. He said to the general manager who was in the meeting: "I have to change the company in 10 minutes!" Then, Stephen made a reasonable explanation for the problem. And put forward his own point of view in engineering technology, and finally, he took out his own transformation design of the product, this design just preserves the original advantages of the product, while avoiding problems...
Ten years later, Steven not only became the CEO of Vescia, but also made his personal wealth among the top 50 in the United States! In the following ten years, Steven, who worked diligently, published six sets of mechanical manufacturing monographs. The most famous "Mask Manufacturing Management" was also included in the three universities in the United States.
Stephen’s original classmates still do their unchanging work, and they often enviously ask him how he did it, and Stephen’s answer always makes people seem to understand: “I just think of myself as A seed has gotten into the soil!"
