Then in 202 1, it ranked 14 on Hurun's self-made rich list and became a double rich man.
As a legend, Spigel has many stories. For example, he is a gifted student at Stanford University, with rebellious personality and superior intelligence. He had dropped out of school early to start a business, and had rejected billions of acquisitions by Facebook, Google and Tencent. He was determined to conquer the world by himself.
Successful people generally like to talk about success, and most of them have biographies, autobiographies and famous sayings. Their success often focuses on three points: hard work, courage to struggle, professionalism and morality.
This first shows their difficulty and transcendence. It seems that if we can be like them, everyone will succeed.
But Spigel doesn't think so. He may be the only billionaire who doesn't give himself money.
He once said:
Spigel's life is a little stained and conceited, but he is true and frank. What he pointed out is actually a problem that has been hidden or ignored for a long time.
Starting from scratch is different from starting from scratch. Environment, region, parents, education, interpersonal relationship, etc. Are all assets. People who grew up in ravines and ditches and those who grew up in Beijing are definitely not self-made people.
There are countless talented and hardworking people in this world who will never be Spigel.
Why did Spigel say he was very lucky?
There is a white man, a man, a well-educated man, and the last one. This article also contains many things that people tend to overlook.
Spigel's parents are both famous lawyers. He grew up in a wealthy area of Los Angeles and later went to Crossroads, the top private school in America. This determines his vision, experience and social circle.
Spigel's parents are both highly intelligent people, and her mother is the youngest female graduate of Harvard College. However, after she had Spigel, she gave up her position as a partner in a law firm and became a full-time mother.
This wholehearted effort determines the starting point of education in Spigel.
It cannot be said that Spigel, who is quite stubborn when he grows up, is still outstanding in his studies, which has a lot to do with his intellectual foundation and educational foundation.
Spigel used to be a playboy, didn't he? When he was a teenager, his disagreement with his father was basically due to profligacy.
/kloc-learn driver's license at the age of 0/6. The car should be high-end, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation should be luxurious enough to make his father who loves him very much unbearable.
When this guy was at school, he actually taught a course: how to ask his parents for pocket money.
Spigel's parents divorced later, and they used to spoil him. However, Spigel once said that he learned etiquette from his mother, and he was able to master the business operation and its structure very early, benefiting from listening to his father's legal phone calls from an early age.
That is to say, people have high IQ, but also have soil absorption, and people have to have the east wind if they want to go to Qingyun. Spigel's parents' wealth, power and relationship enabled him to get in touch with different things and people, and his wisdom enabled him to make full use of these conditions.
For example, if others have ideas, they may not have opportunities and investments. Peter Wendell, a venture capitalist whom Spigel has known for a long time, is one of his family resources.
This reminds me of a recent debate about school districts.
The landlord Gai Lou's purpose is very clear, and has been recognized by many people. He believes that if children are not smart enough, their grades are not good, and they can't go anywhere, parents don't have to fall into this competition at all.
But I think there are advantages and disadvantages, and in the long run, it may still be more favorable.
Meng Mu's "Three Major Movements" is a famous educational case in China, which first illustrates the importance of the environment. In fact, the school district housing is related to the environment, resources, driving and housing appreciation, and some functions cannot be shown immediately.
Although this kind of thing is not absolute, the reality is that parents should not be too involved and make reasonable decisions according to their own situation.
Of course, just because people can't decide their parents, families and origins doesn't mean that everything is solidified. Besides, we still have a lot of things to do.
For example, we can learn from Spigel, a person who takes advantage of unfair advantages, the rules of the system, and the methods of establishing contacts, breaking down obstacles and reasonable manipulation.
For example, I think some rules and suggestions are very important:
1, people are born unfair. Don't complain, create.
It's not your fault that you were born in poverty, but it's your fault that you don't know how to break the predicament.
3, family education is very important, family education is not just good grades. Parents generally can't change the class no matter how hard they try. It is better to broaden your horizons as much as possible, improve your ability and earn money for your children. Including social and social skills.
No matter how hard and busy you work, there will be no level playing field. Most people don't have Spigel's childhood, so there is no need to compare foolishly or follow blindly. If you want to win, you must make the system work, just like Spigel said.
To run a system, we should try our best to find the rules of the system and establish the system. Conceit and resentment are useless.
5. Self-awareness is very important. Spigel has such advantages and will emphasize it.
It is not enough to focus only on success itself. Success is often beyond success. In the workplace, everyone will see that some people with inferior abilities and qualifications are super lucky. Knowing and acknowledging the existence and operation rules of the system does not mean that you must use them all, but it can help you avoid the pit, or help you fight back against the abuser and compete with the majority.
Being able to make full use of one's wisdom and ability is an opportunity and guarantee that ordinary people are no worse than others.
Businessmen in film and television dramas talk about golf courses and the like, which is not pure fiction. * * * The same hobbies, the life that * * * enjoys, and the closeness are enough to establish relationships and strive for resources.
Everyone likes to be close to the same kind. Some things have nothing to do with how much money you have. Such rules are far better than inspirational quotes.
7. Successful people must have their own unique personality characteristics, which is one of the laws of attraction. Absolute sameness is not enough, so it will be mediocre and nothing new.
People who have no new ideas will not provide excitement, stimulate curiosity and attract people's attention. Spigel's uniqueness and rebellion are also connectors in his life.
No matter how rich people are, no matter how important people are, they also have the same human nature. The real password of social relations is actually human nature.
8. Happiness is the basic password of human nature. Find that point and keep feeding him. You may beat him.
9, to determine their own status in the field, but also to understand "multilingual."
The reason why network celebrities are easy to create in the network age is that network celebrities have created stories in their own fields. Stories are connectors.
It connects people with different backgrounds and status through the same emotion and humanity, and becomes a group.
The secret of network celebrities is the secret of resources. Social software and media platforms allow people to reach people that were previously impossible, depending on what you can do and how you use it.
10, keep working hard.
Hard work is not necessarily successful, and it is difficult to succeed without hard work. Now it is a question of how to work hard and where to work hard.
Establishing a professional mastery system is a real bilingual skill.
Of course, this system includes many aspects, and these suggestions are not comprehensive. The most important thing is to respect the reality and not be reckless.
Finally, Spigel is a successful man. He combines his career with his life. He is really exposed to the light of the system, and he is very special in himself, especially in life.
A man who founded Snapchat and made his fortune by "burn after reading" actually saw the potential demand of the public.
A successful person, no matter what kind of person, must be a person who thinks of others objectively.
The greater the value you provide, the more eye-catching, the more you can break through the predicament and go out in the long run.
? End?
