A goal, a lifelong pursuit
1. Think of a good goal and work hard for it
Different from the past era, our sense of the times is becoming more and more important. The stronger you get, the more tiring life becomes. There used to be no mobile phones, but now there are mobile phones, and now I can find you everywhere. There was no need for mobile office in the past, but now mobile office and transportation have developed. No matter which country you are in, you can fly to it in one day, so the pace of life is too fast. In fact, under this pace, I think every young person or every employee feels that they are busier than before. This is a common phenomenon. But to unravel this "busyness", you must first think about your life goals, what kind of life you want and what goals you want. Think about what makes sense in this goal, and go from busy to leisure.
I think the most busy thing a person should do is to prepare himself for a lifelong career. This is meaningful. Instead of blindly studying, blindly making connections, and blindly working on many projects, don't waste one by one. The current trend in our country's culture and education is to seek quick success and instant benefits. As soon as I hear that a project is making money, I will grab other people's projects. My mentor taught me a trick: if I find that a project has already been started, I will give up on it. Unless you find that you can surpass him within half a year. You find that what he does is very profitable, but your ability is much stronger than him, and you can surpass him within half a year. But even if you surpass him within half a year, you still have to think about whether you may not be able to surpass him in three years, so you still want to think about something that no one has done but is better than what others have done. If China Everyone thinks so, we can all innovate. We are all copying other people's things now. If they have good things, we will grab them. If they have good technology, we will steal it. If a nation relies on this, there will be no development, and we will be busy to death, you boss. I want to imitate other people's things and have nothing of my own.
Regardless of whether we can innovate the things we are most interested in and specialize in, if we persist in accumulating time, we will find that our efficiency will increase, our investment will be less, and the time we will spend will be reduced. There will be very few. For example, if we do something repeatedly, like the power supply of the refrigerator is broken, if I repair it 5 times, my efficiency will be higher if I repair it again. If I don’t want to make too much money, I can be very free. The production value is the same. I repair 5 refrigerators every day. If I find the trick, I can do it in an hour, and I can play the rest of the time. If I don't want to work in a refrigerator repair shop chain, I can just stay at home and be idle. Therefore, only by being professional can you not be busy. Only by being professional can you be efficient instead of changing careers every day. Why am I not too busy? I liked physics and mathematics in middle school. Although I switched from physics to chemistry in college, I used my unique skills in physics to solve chemical problems. Even chemists couldn’t beat me and were afraid of me. I used physical means to make decisions. Chemotherapy diagnosis, so I am excellent. I used rocks from other mountains to solve chemistry problems, which was different from what chemists did. I came back to solve physicists' problems. I later jumped to teaching physics classes in middle schools and running schools. At this time, I still returned to my earliest work. It's my job, so I can do it the most easily.
2. Young people are too busy because they have wrong living habits.
I think young people are too busy because they have wrong living habits. So they are too busy and hang themselves online all day long. This is If there is QQ on one side and something on the other, it will be very busy. I have been using email for a long time, but I don’t have a QQ account. No matter who forces me to remember my QQ account, I will not do it. I basically use others. Send me your QQ number. Even if I don’t have a QQ number, I once wrote an email and a master jumped in and said I want to chat with you. I had nothing to do with him and he jumped in and asked me what my QQ number was. To chat with me, I feel that wandering without a goal is pointless. I also teach my son that in their time, my son was in his 20s. In their time, the Internet was a good thing. If you don’t know how to use it, it is a bad thing. It consumes our time and will, makes us unhealthy, and makes us You spend a lot of time doing nothing, and a lot of the information is junk. Today I discussed with Teacher Wang Lifen how valuable it is to build Youmi.com. We found that there is no website with dominant values ??on the Internet, which brings us into a boring society and garbage information, making our life here worse than death. We read too much. Everyone wants to jump off a building and thinks the world is dark and doesn’t want to live in it. In fact, it’s not that dark.
I think that people who spend all day online do not have objective goals and are too idle. They must have mental problems. They do not want to discourage everyone. They must communicate with purpose and have a leading role. If we ask leading questions, you will find it easy to find your answers. Many peers will communicate with you and your problems will be solved quickly, so it is a very efficient method. Especially when doing scientific research, innovation or work, you will find that you can find your answers. Many fellow travelers can share with you, especially what diseases you have, and many online doctors can provide you with some good suggestions. You can have a high eye but a low hand. If I have a high eye, I will find the problem. I will not be fooled but will make the network a tool for integrating information and a resource library with directional questions to answer our special problems. We will find it very useful. Communicating with the people we needed was quickly contacted and very cheap.
But if we have no purpose there and you just want to kill time but your spirit is corroded by the Internet, your fighting spirit is corroded by it, and then you become addicted and your mind is corroded by it, I hope Everyone can treat the Internet correctly and use the Internet with purpose instead of roaming aimlessly.
4. Being busy when you are young is to avoid being busy in the future, and being obedient when you are young is to avoid being disobedient in the future.
Was I very busy when I was young? I must be very busy indeed, and I am also busy to support my family. Yes, some of what you just said is correct. Maybe I was busy at that time so that I would not be busy in the future. I obeyed at the time so that I didn’t want to obey in the future, because I hated that kind of life. So I was the first to awaken. I set goals for myself. I have a famous saying, which is very simple in eight words: "Pursue one goal throughout your life." I decided on these words very early. When I was about 17 or 18 years old, I had already figured out this truth. If a person sets his goal at the earliest, he will soon become an expert and quickly move to a management position. Say I don't like it. If I hadn't made such a decision and made the effort early to become such a person, I might just be like what you just said, and I would still be at the mercy of others when I'm 35 or 50 years old and I still wouldn't be able to control my life. My first job was as a teacher. It didn’t count as I said at the time. I originally stayed in Wuhan as a university teacher, but was assigned by the school to work as a teacher in Henan Province. I thought it was a relatively backward place at the time, but they assigned me to go there. , it’s impossible not to go. After I went there, I did whatever the leaders asked me to do. But a year later, I became the third best teacher in the school and the third best teacher in the province. Whatever they asked me to do again, I said I couldn't do the job. They can only obey me, talk about this scientific research, and I say I can't handle it, so I will teach those two, and I can choose. Before I started, I was asked to tutor someone, but it took me more than a year to do the opposite. I covered all the old teachers. All the students I taught passed, with a score of 65 or above, and the average score was among the top three in the province. And that school turned out to be last in the province. I quickly challenged the principal and said I couldn't do this, otherwise I would be transferred, I would scare people, but if you train me to be a manager, I will do it, and train me to be an assistant in the department, I started to choose, I quickly found my way.
Also, not only this, it was difficult for me to choose to be a leader. Although I was a teaching expert and they would give me the most difficult classes to teach, I couldn’t be a leader, so I took the postgraduate examination and left Henan. , I went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for graduate school. During my graduate school period, I was very busy. I would do whatever my boss asked me to do. I soon published two articles in the magazine of the University of Cambridge in the UK, and then I became the course leader. Very soon As soon as I graduated from graduate school, I became the leader of the academic team, and I became a young scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They made an exception and gave me the title of associate professor instead of lecturer. I could have mentioned it directly as professor, but they felt that I mentioned it too quickly and demoted me one level. ( ) was the youngest scientific team leader at the time. I wanted to go abroad later, but the leader said that if the government didn’t want to send you first, then he wouldn’t send me and I would have to apply for the money myself. All my destiny is controlled by myself. I first become excellent, and then I start to control my own destiny. No matter what I am asked to do, I will become the best person, and then I start to have capital. If I can't do it well, I won't have the capital, so it doesn't matter how I get out of this. If I start doing this thing, I can do it well. I'll continue to choose the things I like to do and control my own destiny. I hope you can learn this trick and it will be very effective. of.
When I was in my 20s, I fantasized about several goals. For the first goal, was it possible for me to win a Nobel Prize in my life? I have fantasized about this and tried it, and I have pursued it, but I have just passed it by. I studied nitric oxide, and I was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics and Biomedicine in 1997. I didn’t get it because of what I did. The contribution is not that big yet, but I am on the right track. After several Nobel Prizes were awarded in my time, I felt that the Nobel Prizes in this field were discovered by others first, so I set another goal. It is best for me to earn 1 million in my life so that I can do what I want. thing. At that time, 100,000 was a big number. I could write books, do research, and travel around the world. But I soon discovered that I was stupid. I found that the rise in prices and the rapid growth in consumption made it difficult for me to 1 million has been spent, so I can’t focus on simple quantitative goals. I think that if I want to earn 1 million, 10 million, or 100 million, etc., these are simple quantitative goals. I want to contribute to the people. This is my ultimate goal. And this contribution must be the greatest possible, so my idea is whether I can find a way to maximize the value of others' lives. If I can find a way, I will achieve it in this direction. The end point is this.
I would like to add that I find something very interesting. When I particularly care about making money, I don’t make money. When I particularly don’t care about making money, I want to develop everyone’s abilities. I I want to share the secrets I know, and I find it very profitable. Nowadays, branch schools can be opened, so sometimes it is strange, but you only find out how easy it is when you give up. At that time, I really wanted to make money. I could earn tens of dollars by teaching a class today and teaching a class tomorrow. Now I realize that it doesn’t make much sense. I pursued myself to be a millionaire but didn’t become one, but now I don’t pursue millionaires, but now I don’t. He is just a millionaire, it can be said that he is a multi-millionaire and moving towards further goals.
5. Leisure should be regarded as the standard
This is how I see it, we modern people cannot regard busyness as high ability or ability. When I first became the principal, I was busy and incompetent. I handled very good things but made myself extremely busy. I am dealing with so many things now, I have opened a branch school, and I still have the opportunity to come here to chat, which means that I am not too busy and I have a lot of free time. In your innovation and work, you must know what efficiency is. An excellent person should always think about this question, how should I optimize my production efficiency? The top is output minus input, and the bottom is divided by time, which is called efficiency. We spent a lot of time, and we spent a lot of money on it. As a result, we produced very little, which was inefficient. Not only did we invest time and produce a lot, but we also had to account for the time we spent, and the output was subtracted. Investment minus time is efficiency. As I just said, I am very busy. I feel like I am a successful person, but I am not. I just said that I may have done 10 or 20 times the workload of others and still have time to sleep in and chat with myself. Calculating based on 10 times the number of workers, I am already less busy than everyone else. I wonder if there is a way to put in less and produce more, is there a way for me to spend less time, put in less and produce more. There is always a way, there is always a way. Busyness should not be used as the standard for success, but leisure should be used as the standard. If you can carry a fishing rod to fish in leisure and make tens of thousands or hundreds of millions every year, then you have the ability. What I pursue is that one day I can carry a fishing rod and fish, and my principal and manager can run the school well.
If we have a goal, you will find that you can always find a way to get twice the result with half the effort, but you can't find it when there is no goal. If you practice for a relatively clear goal, your abilities are always improving. Your accumulation of experience, knowledge, and expertise are always improving. In this case, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and you will continue to do so in the future. Get twice the result with half the effort. Only when you constantly change majors, directions, and interests will you get twice the result with half the effort. When you have what your heart wants, you will find a way to do it naturally. There is a good trick. No matter whether we have found the way or not, we keep an open mind. We turn what we want to achieve into a desire and need that makes us obsessed or crazy, and put it into Let us put it in our minds and let it carry out subconscious hopes and pursuits in our minds. You will instantly discover that there is a good method. This method can answer my questions. This method can strengthen us to the point where we want to live for it and live for it. Death, madness for it, demon for it. In such a state, you can put it in the back of your brain at this time. Your brain will help you solve this problem while you sleep, and you don't know. It only took one-tenth or one-hundredth of the time to get the result. This is the skill of brain work. If you want to achieve miraculous success, you have to understand this event to the extent that no one understands it, and everyone thinks you are crazy. You You will find that your brain will help you, and God will help you. Mr. Kazuo Inamori of Japan founded two Fortune 500 companies. He said how to achieve good results and a secret? The miraculous method is to get twice the result with half the effort. When you keep working hard and try all the methods you can think of, and when you continue to experiment, and God reaches out to help you, then you will not get twice the result with half the effort, but even a thousand times. A hundred times the effect.
