chapter 1 urchin-my father's calmness surprised me. He just called me to him and said, "I hope you won't let yourself down so much in the future!" This sentence hit the floor, its power, made me feel guilty to the extreme, and the sudden inferiority and regret made me feel so lost. From then on, I always remember this sentence, which makes me have a watchman in my inner castle, so that I will never let myself down again. Chapter II Flying to the United States-I finally understand that mastering a language and culture is not only about speaking the local language and understanding the local customs, but also about the history of this culture and the system of this country. Yes, there are many things in life that can't be completely as you wish, but when we accept a certain decision, we must learn to live with it. Chapter 3: My University-We think from reading and debate, thus gaining enlightenment, and then turning independent thinking into a kind of ability. American educator B.F.Skinner said, "If we forget everything we have learned, the last thing left is the essence of education." What he said is the way of self-study and the ability to think independently. -In the first year, I gained knowledge that will benefit people all my life from the compulsory humanities courses. It is deposited in my body and becomes a part of my mind and soul. At the critical moment of my life, it will have an epiphany to help me get through the lonely or confused days in my life. To this day, I still remember what an old professor in the philosophy department said: "Do you know what make a difference is? Imagine that there are two worlds, one with you and the other without you. Let the difference between them be the greatest and your influence be the greatest. This is the meaning of your life. -The youthful years we experienced together when we were young were so happy and beautiful. People leave college and have their own life trajectories, but when looking back on many things, all the happiness nowadays seems to be unable to replace the simple happiness at that time. Because, we were so young, fearless and beautiful. I regret to find that I am neither a mathematical genius nor obsessed with its beauty, because I don't want the meaning of my life to be to understand the beauty of mathematics. Interest is talent, and talent is interest. (You are good at what you love, you love what you are good at.)-The famous journalist White Hobbs said, "Success is that when you wake up, no matter where you are or how old you are, you quickly bounce out of bed, because you can't wait to do what you love, what you believe and what you have the talent to do. This job is greater and more sacred than you personally. You can't wait to get up and jump into its arms. " Losing the trust of others is the greatest punishment for yourself, and you will feel that you have lost your own value, and that kind of pain will completely drown people. Chapter IV Doctor's Career-"What is the purpose of being a doctor?" When I chose my research direction and prepared to roll up my sleeves, our dean Nico Heibowman asked me this question. Without thinking, I blurted out, "It is to make important achievements in a certain field." "No." Professor Nico Heibowman denied me without thinking. He told me, "To study for a doctorate is to choose a narrow and important field for research. When you graduate, you will hand over a world-class graduation thesis and become a leading expert in this field. Anyone who mentions this field will think of your name. " Professor Heibowman's view of "being the first-class in a certain field in the world" shocked me. I never expected to reach the top of a certain field in my twenties, but I always remembered this kind of motivation to do the best. -"The most valuable thing you take away from school is not this paper, but your ability to analyze and think independently, your experience in researching and discovering truth, and the mind of scientists. When you stop studying this field one day, you can still do your best in any new field. " (Heibowman)-Pericles, a famous philosopher, once said, "A person who has thoughts but can't express them is like having no thoughts." And my lack of expression is like killing my own thoughts, which science and engineering students can't stand. -Before giving a speech, practice for three times. Be sure to record, preferably video. Look at the audience's eyes randomly and touch them for 3 to 5 seconds. If you are afraid, sit on the farthest audience's head, because they can't tell where you are looking. I don't agree with your views on expert system and statistics, but I can support you to do it by statistical methods, because I believe that there is no absolute right or wrong in science, and we are all equal. Moreover, I believe that a passionate person may find a better solution. " -Professor Reddy's tolerance once again makes me feel a great power, which is a power of freedom and trust. Voltaire once said, "I can disagree with you, but I will defend your right to speak to the death!" " Professor Reddy said, "I don't agree with you, but I support you." This is a true scientist's spirit. His belief that everyone is equal before science has deeply influenced me. This wordless greatness has benefited me all my life, and also made me treat other people's different opinions with this belief. You can sincerely disagree and fully heartily support at the same time. Chapter 5 Working at Apple-Sculley was once the CEO of PepsiCo, and during his tenure, PepsiCo surpassed Coca-Cola for the first time in history. Jobs's invitation to him was also famous. "Sculley, do you want to sell sugar water all your life, or do you want to seize the opportunity to change the world?" Sculley was deeply moved by this sentence and joined Apple as CEO. -"Don't blame me for copying Jobs' famous saying, but do you want to write a bunch of academic papers like waste paper all your life, or do you want to really change the world?" -it is not good for everyone to win respect. Respect for principles and effective implementation are the true meaning of management. -people will inevitably lose their senses when their loved ones are hurt, and they will inevitably lose their manners when disasters come. -Restrain the idea that everything should be asked by yourself, fully trust employees and give them a certain range of freedom. I am convinced that this is truly artistic management. And as a manager, when employees' values are inconsistent with those of the company, you should make bold decisions. 《The Road Not Taken》
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn th em really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hen
two roads diverged in a wood
and I-I took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference. Robert Frost
There are two roads in the yellow forest
It's a pity that I can't set foot in it at the same time
I stood at that intersection for a long time
I looked at one road as far as I could
but I chose the other road
It was lush and lonely
It was even more attractive. More beautiful
Although
there are few traveler's footprints left on these two paths
Although leaves fell all over the ground that morning
Neither road was polluted by footprints
Oh, Leave a road and see you another day
But I know the path is endless
I'm afraid I can't go back
Maybe in a certain place after many years
I will look back on the past with a sigh
Two roads were separated in a forest
but I chose the less traveled one
, which decided my life path from now on. Chapter VI SGI-We -The world doesn't need useless innovation. More importantly, I can work in China. I will recruit talents from China, help students from China, and lead a group of R&D personnel from China to explore the most advanced technology and swim in the most advanced technology. Anyway, going back to work in China is my father's dream and hope, and it really excites me. All this, however, is nothing compared with my dream of returning to China to create a new world. I firmly believe that returning to China is the choice of "following my heart". Although in contrast, there are many foreseeable difficulties and the results are unknown, I know that it is of great significance to do so. Therefore, regardless of success or failure, I think this is at least an extraordinary journey of exploration. My goal is to build a world-class research institute. Chapter 7: Establishing Microsoft China Research Institute —— Choosing a job standard is growth, interest and influence. -Whiteboard culture represents an open spirit. It means that everyone is equal, everyone's ideas can be spoken and written boldly, and mistakes are allowed, because the words on the whiteboard are easy to erase. It also means a team spirit, everyone is not closed, and your thoughts can be based on the inspiration of others. -"The most important thing is not innovation, but useful innovation." When I spit out every word, I look at the employees who are in the same boat with me, think of the nights we fought side by side, think of our arguments, playing cards and smoking cigars together, and my eyes are moist. Chapter 8 Five Years in Seattle —— As a senior manager of a multinational company in China, I have been feeling the conflicts and collisions from different cultures and values. I deeply understand the pain caused by acclimatization and the suffering in the process of gradual adaptation, and I also deeply understand the hard-won success of every bit. Sometimes, the unsuspecting value culture collision makes people feel struggling, especially those who have nowhere to talk and loneliness that is not understood. However, I believe that all this is the only way in the development of things and the only way for multinational companies to succeed in China. In other companies, the IQ of employees is additive, but when we are stuck in the trouble of restructuring all day, the IQ of our employees is actually subtractive. -"Don't forget, Kaifu said that our IQ is subtracted." Working in a high-tech company for many years, giving up halfway and dying without a cause is something that happens from time to time, and as an explorer, acceptance is necessary. -when you know that this kind of struggle may be included in the genes of human history, that strong sense of value and that kind of being ignited.
