Young people need to want to improve and not make excuses.
To achieve success, I think the two essential qualities that young people need are "the desire to improve" and "not to blame".

Success is a personal matter but a social matter, because the combined success of all individuals has the power to promote social progress.
Some people compare life to a game, not a gamble. And we must consider this a serious game, constantly utilizing all our intellectual and physical abilities to hope to win.
Finding a job is the starting point for young people to participate in a long-distance race of "intelligence" and "strength" between the majority below, only having the duty to obey orders, becoming a leading minority above, responsible for creating strategies, holding the power to give orders to control the activities of everyone below.
The question is what do young people want? Do they want to spend their whole lives just following orders or do they want to rise up and one day take the power to decide on strategies and direct the implementation of strategies?
We know that in a long-distance race, the last person has their own beauty in terms of endurance and will to pursue to the end, but in my opinion, once you decide to participate in the race, young people should not console themselves with the "beauty of the last person" but must try their best to be in the group of first people.
Young people must propose and implement new ideas and new business models, thereby creating new jobs and assets for society.
Therefore, what young people need is to aspire to rise up, not because of titles but because of enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility towards society. When they take the initiative to take control of their work, young people will realize their dreams.
In reality, from small to big things, when a job fails, the superiors blame the subordinates, the subordinates blame the superiors, no one takes responsibility or learns any lessons to avoid repeating the failure.
In my case, after a long internship, I was accepted as a full-time employee. My spirit suddenly went downhill. I felt dissatisfied with everything: the working environment, the attitude of my seniors, the company's business policies... but in fact, that was just my habit of "blaming".
Blaming others was the easiest way for me to justify or hide my own shortcomings. Realizing this, I switched to a positive attitude of discussing with my colleagues, slowly but surely implementing the new ways of working that we had agreed upon.
When a job fails, each person must first ask themselves, present their own mistakes, work together to analyze other objective factors, and propose specific ways to correct the mistakes.
Despite the lack of proper instructions from superiors, we, the young people, overcame our shortcomings and carried out everything according to plan. When we were given the responsibility to rebuild the company after a period of losses, the motto “Absolutely no blame” was applied, most strictly in the board of directors because we had to set an example. That was the element at the base that helped bring the company to profit after only one year.
When facing work, only when young people are brave enough to admit mistakes, dare to take responsibility for their failures, absolutely do not blame others, are willing to learn, overcome their own mistakes and weaknesses, thereby creating real strength - an indispensable condition for success.
