One time, someone asked me to attend a wine tasting. In three days, I tried a dozen wines and got a large set of wine books. I have eaten and played, and I have left this behind. It was also the first time in this tasting session that another friend who had in-depth contact with red wine became a wine expert two years later. He also lobbied investors to invest money to run a wine magazine, and she was the editor-in-chief.

A few years ago, the magazine I worked for came with two interns, a boy and a girl, of the same age, from the same university. The one-month internship ended. We left the boys but returned to the girls. I heard that the girls complained a lot and thought that the magazine was patriarchal, unfair in doing things, and even maliciously believed that the boys gave the editors a gift. Her academic performance is better than that of the boy, and the teacher's evaluation is higher than that of the boys. Of course, she can't accept such a result, but she doesn't know. Not only does the editor like the boy, but everyone feels that he is better than her as a colleague. The biggest problem for this girl is that she thinks she is too good. She has a strong sense of superiority. The little things that the interns should do seem to have buried her. Although she has done it, everyone can feel her overkill. dissatisfied. She thought that her article was well written. In fact, the student-spoken campus essays did not meet the needs of the mass media. With her high self-esteem, she was not willing to condescend to cater to the market. The boy is different. He is cheerful and cheerful. He appears in the office with a smile every day. It is a perfect reconciliation agent for the dull atmosphere. If you do things seriously, even if you copy the files, you will do it right the first time, and put them in other places. Very attentive on the desk. Every day after he got off work, he took the calendar magazine home to read. Later, whenever someone asked about the old manuscript, he could almost always blurt out which year and which year he was responsible for editing. The accuracy rate is quite high. It is commendable. In a month, it was impossible for the magazine to hand over an editing task to the intern. He thought of a topic, used the break time to interview, and wrote a nearly 10,000-word manuscript to the editor. The manuscript itself could not Use, but the editor has seen his strong self-motivation and mobility from this immature manuscript, which is why he was finally left.

Later, I left the magazine, the boy has been the editorial director, and then moved to another media to be the editor. After so many years, he still called me from time to time, talked about the situation, humbly called my teacher, still regarded himself as the intern and the new colleague. I believe that with his character and ability, as long as he is willing, he will certainly have a promising future, and an endless opportunity will be waiting for him on the way ahead. We often think that some people have a lot of opportunities, and there are many people who are willing to give him opportunities. In fact, life is almost the same, but they are good at turning ordinary things into opportunities, or making good relationships. Others are willing to give him a chance. . And some people complain that the opportunity always passes by him. The real reason is not the opportunity, but his own.

The real opportunity is actually to give it to yourself.
