| He was born into a poor family in San Diego, USA. His parents did not have permanent jobs and lived in hunger and cold for a long time. He didn't even finish high school, dropping out to make ends meet. His first job after leaving school was washing dishes in a small restaurant, working from 4 p.m. until the early hours of the next morning. This life left him exhausted and extremely tired. After losing his job as a dishwasher, he went to a parking lot to wash cars. Soon after, he moved to work for a cleaning management company, often washing floors late into the night. With such constant job changes, he couldn't help but think, "Maybe I'll only wash things for the rest of my life." |  |
During his work, he began to try to change his life. After a hard day's physical work, he would spend 5 hours studying. Many of his peers could not understand why someone doing manual labor would still study so hard every day.
At the age of 20, he began to travel widely, once crossing the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa with two friends for $300. By car and on foot, the journey was 17,000 miles. In Africa, the Sahara Desert tested his endurance. It was then that he began to realize that everyone had to cross their own Sahara Desert.
One night when he was 30 years old, he couldn't sleep. He asked himself, "Why do I work so hard but still live in a cheap apartment, without a fancy car or a luxury house?" At that moment, he realized that there might be no shortcut to success, but if there is, it involves following certain rules. From that night on, he began to think seriously about how to succeed. By observing the top business leaders in his company, he learned how they visited customers and managed their time. He began to make orderly adjustments to himself and developed a series of new work plans. Soon, his business skills improved rapidly, and he started earning several times his previous income.
After nearly ten years of such a life, he gradually grew from an unknown small salesman to an outstanding one. His business grew larger and larger, earning him a huge fortune.
When his life and career were thriving, he began to question himself again: Is this the life I want? He then abruptly gave up his career to become an orator and writer. With his perseverance, wisdom, special understanding of success, and accurate grasp of the laws of success, he soon became a brilliant speaker and potential motivator in the world. He began to publish books and give lectures. For more than 20 years, he traveled to more than 90 countries, giving speeches on success in more than 40 countries. Over 400,000 people attended his talks every year. He was once a business mentor to Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, Michael Brown, and Jack Welch had also heard him speak. He published several books on success, which were sold all over the world.
He is the famous American success master Anthony Robbins' motivational mentor, the nation's most influential speaker and lecturer on success, and the world's most well-known spiritual mentor today.
From this, it can be seen that only by constantly challenging oneself can one go further. Constantly challenging oneself is actually a form of psychological recognition and self-confidence. It is also a psychological process of continually understanding oneself. Only when a person forms a correct understanding of themselves, knowing what kind of person they are, what they can do, and what they cannot do, can they be their own master and make independent judgments and actions. They are not afraid of denial, criticism, and accusations, and have their own internal standards. Only then can they avoid seeking praise and losing themselves in the process. Only then can they have the courage to pursue self-realization.
