Feng Lun said that greatness is achieved through hard work. He said on page 163 of "Savage Growth": Greatness is a state, a state of freedom. All great people are extremely free in their hearts, and they are extremely eager to break out of the existing pattern. The reason why great people are great is that they always keep the big principles to themselves and the small principles to others.
But reality is not like that. On the surface, some people speak great words, but their actions are humble; some people have great careers, but have dirty minds; some people live great lives, but die dishonorably and are reviled by others; some people live small lives, but die very ugly lives. Small, remembered. Greatness and insignificance, ordinaryness and tragedy are always two extremes, and it is difficult for people to grasp them accurately.
The process of men's struggle usually shows many virtues, as well as many aspects that normal people think are extremely cruel. In Feng Lun's eyes, the life of a valuable man is the process of fulfilling one's ambitions and finding friends with similar aspirations. He admires Liu Chuanzhi and Wang Shi. There is a saying that true love is invincible. A man loves his career and his ideals, and will risk everything. If he does not succeed even after sacrificing for this, nothing in the world can succeed. The life of a struggling man is a life of carving himself, and at the same time, a life of destroying others. He is like carving a radish flower, carving himself very well with one knife after another. The farther he looks from a distance, the greater he becomes, and the closer he gets, the greater he becomes. I feel terrible. Greatness is the beacon of a man's heart, a dream around which the story of his life unfolds. Feng Lun's understanding has reached the hard mountainside. He is more lively than preachers, more pragmatic than gentlemen, and more real than those leaders in the reputation shopping mall. But whether it is great or not has nothing to do with time. Some people may not be able to cultivate to a great state in their lifetime, and some people often think they are great, but they are ridiculous.
In fact, I agree with Feng Lun's view that "greatness is to manage oneself, not to lead others." In life, the greatness of a leader lies in leading others. I have the honor to communicate with many people in enterprises. Those who think they are leaders often do not know how to manage themselves, their own personalities, their own minds, and their own reputations. They chatter endlessly about leading others, but are silent about managing themselves. .
Greatness is not a function of time. If you choose the wrong direction at the beginning, no matter how great your career is, it will end in failure, such as stealing, robbing, murder and arson.
If you want to become a great person, you must choose great opportunities and great partners, but you must operate in a very mediocre way and follow the rules. As Feng Lun said, the so-called making history is to do a vulgar thing at a great moment, a great place and a group of great people. This is actually about learning to compromise and be tolerant. Instead of making secret attacks, it is better to put dissatisfaction, controversy and vulgarity on the table and resolve them bit by bit. In a transparent information society, our competition is already a competition of information, a contest of wisdom, and an exploration of skills, rather than concealment, conspiracy, and moaning in complaints.
To achieve greatness, time is just the yeast that is both soft and hard. Greatness requires wisdom, thought, tolerance and appreciation, respect and humility, ignorance and knowledge, bravery and ability to control situations. .
A great enterprise must be built and managed by relying on good products, compassionate services, and looking up to the eternal nature, harmony and even humility of human beings.
A company that is petty, caressing, playing tricks of the trade, evading taxes, has no core strategic capabilities, only focuses on the present but not the long-term, bullies both young and old, and cannot even respect and appreciate its own employees. No matter how it simmers, it will always be scorched, and greatness will always be a rumor.
The greatness of a man is the courage to sacrifice and the courage to win. When a man is great, the company he leads is extraordinary.
