Student Debate —— Forward or Another Way?

No one likes a crisis, everyone hopes that their life will be smooth sailing, but the crisis will not disappear because people hate it. Crises are everywhere and happen all the time. We can't stop it, but we can only choose our attitude towards it.

When faced with a crisis, the poor always show a weak attitude and dare not take risks. Whenever a crisis occurs, they either complain that they are unlucky and resigned to their fate, or they flee in a hurry and abandon their armor. We must wait until the crisis is inevitable before we start to think of ways to give first aid. However, the disaster has become a disaster, and there is no way to save it. Many undertakings have been wasted because of delays.

When facing the crisis, the rich will think positively, take risks bravely, face it firmly at the first time and resolve it with wisdom. Although there were many difficulties, they had to face hardships again and again, but they all persisted. After experiencing the crisis, they were reborn and stronger.

Donald Trump is a famous business tycoon with billions of assets, and his real estate, casino, sports and entertainment businesses are doing well. Like most successful people, his career has experienced many twists and turns and even suffered a devastating blow, but he persisted in the spirit of never giving up.

In the early days, Donald Trump's road to wealth was smooth and rapid, which greatly increased his confidence and ambition, and he began to be dissatisfied with the real estate industry. He gradually expanded his investment to industries other than real estate. In addition to running casinos, shipping, running professional football teams and sponsoring professional boxing matches, he has also published books, including Trump: The Art of Trading, Stand Firm, and The Art of Rebound, each of which has sold more than one million copies and is sought after by young people who have just entered the workplace.

However, the crisis came unexpectedly in the smooth sailing. In the early 1990s, due to the rapid expansion of the United States and the depression of the real estate industry, Trump's real estate depreciated and his income decreased, which led to the crisis of bankruptcy. His personal assets dropped from $6543.8+$70 million to $500 million. In order to avoid bankruptcy, Trump often has to allocate working capital. Later, Trump was heavily in debt, with debts as high as $1 billion. Everyone is waiting to see Trump's jokes, but Trump is not going to use his own failure to make others talk. He chose to take the initiative to face all financial institutions at the first time. He invited major banks to a meeting, put forward a plan to freeze repayment for five years, and told bankers that if he continued to support him, he would return the long-term profits of financial institutions, but if he went bankrupt, everyone would suffer. The bank that generously lent Trump a huge sum of money realized that once Trump declared bankruptcy, they would not only lose interest, but might even get their own capital back, so the bank allowed him to postpone paying part of the loan interest. After five years of hard adjustment and improvement, Trump is now a well-known rich man and successful entrepreneur in the United States, and major banks have also gained due benefits.

Under the pressure of the crisis, Trump did not choose to escape, but bravely faced it, attacked at the first time, resolved the crisis, and finally succeeded.

Everyone may go astray and get into trouble because of some decisions. Everyone may encounter a crisis unexpectedly on the road of life. Crisis is a part of life and no one can escape its harassment.

In the face of a crisis that will appear at any time, choosing to escape or ignore it can't change its real existence. When hesitating and dodging, the crisis will become more and more serious until it cannot be solved, which will eventually lead to disastrous failure. Moreover, people who blindly choose to escape, after getting used to escape, will become weaker and weaker in the face of the crisis and eventually achieve nothing. Our advice to you is:

? In the face of crisis, we should make immediate response and decision in the shortest time to turn the situation around. Crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. Facing the crisis positively, we can not only get rid of the crisis, but also find the opportunities behind it, so as to make ourselves successful.

? In addition to actively facing the outside world, a more active way to deal with the crisis is to actively explore hidden crises and predict possible future crises before the crisis appears, so as to better resolve and eliminate the crisis before the crisis appears, or make full preparations to deal with the crisis and minimize the harm of the crisis.

In the early 1980s, Walters unexpectedly became the helm of BP. At that time, BP was facing an unprecedented crisis. At that time, most employees knew that the company was facing difficulties, but they had no idea of its seriousness. In fact, as early as 1973, the first oil crisis, the company had latent unstable factors, but the high oil price made the company create a new profit growth record. All these covered up the crisis itself, making employees not believe that their future was threatened, especially the exciting Beihai oil field was excavated, which made the employees of the company fall into a beautiful fantasy about the future.

However, Walters saw the serious crisis in the old management system and blindly optimistic company mood, and he bravely faced the crisis. After Walters took office, he carried out drastic reforms. The old system was linear, like a pyramid, with the president sitting at the top to direct the operation of the company. This rigid management method can no longer adapt to the increasingly fierce global business competition. This management system limits the ability and rights of employees, making it impossible for the company to predict the oil price in five years according to the market, and even the plan for next week is unstable. This is very dangerous under the background that the rapid expansion of energy demand and the rapid consumption of energy resources push oil to the market quickly.

So Walters made a bold breakthrough and put forward the views that "BP has no saints" and "the company needs everyone's wisdom, and the more difficult it is, the more important it is". He changed the "pyramid" management mode to the "solar system" management mode, and positioned the president as the "sun" in the minds of all branches. Each branch is like a "planet", which has its own orbit and must revolve around the sun. In this way, the wisdom of all employees in the company is fully mobilized, so that the company can better make flexible and diverse investment decisions, respond quickly to the rapidly changing world market, and make the most objective market forecast and plan.

It's Walters

In the face of the crisis, bold attack and bold reform turned BP into an opportunity and achieved steady growth in performance in the following decades. Under Walters' leadership, BP's business is booming. BP has about 6.5438+0.3 million employees worldwide, and is the sixth largest company in the world, with a turnover of 40 billion pounds and a profit of 3.6 billion pounds.

Because Walters actively faced and solved the crisis, BP improved its internal mechanism, thus injecting new vitality into BP.

Crisis, where there is danger, there is opportunity. The ancients said that fortunes depend on each other. Danger is the surface of the crisis, and there are opportunities hidden behind the crisis. As long as we face it bravely and make active efforts, we will certainly find opportunities for further development on the road to solving the crisis. The following measures are available for reference:

? Don't be pessimistic about the crisis, but respond positively, believing that there are opportunities behind the crisis.

? Seriously analyze the root causes of the crisis, solve the factors that cause the crisis from the source, and constantly improve the shortcomings, so as to achieve an essential leap.

? If it is a crisis caused by the big environment, be careful not to blindly follow the trend, but to find another way, so as to find a chance of success in the crisis.
