Today at noon, two screenshots of Wanda’s president flooded WeChat Moments. This is what Wang Jianlin said when he participated in a program in Luyu. The two screenshots are marked with two sentences respectively. The first sentence is "First set a small goal that can be achieved", and the second sentence is "For example, I will earn 100 million first."

As soon as these two screenshots were released, people in the circle of friends worshiped and Entertainment is booming. On the one hand, people marveled at the domineering power of the richest man; on the other hand, they felt a strange feeling of standing up and talking without pain in the back. So, when we saw these two sentences, we felt an inexplicable joy. The source of this joy lies in the strong contrast between "small goal" and "100 million". After all, 100 million is an area that we ordinary people cannot reach in our lifetime. For the richest man, it is just a series of numbers based on a decision. For big entrepreneurs, this is really a small goal, but for us, it is a world that we dare not even think about.

In contrast, each of us ordinary people feel: Although we live in the same world, we are so different!

However, we must not forget that any words taken out of context and taken out of context will have special effects. So, first let us restore what Wang Jianlin said at that time?

To briefly summarize, the meaning of Wang Jianlin’s words:

1. A person’s goal is gradually enlarged. You should not just focus on it at the beginning. He talks about becoming the richest man in the world, but there is no practical way.

2. It is good to have this goal, but before this ultimate goal, first set an achievable, clear, and relatively small goal - earn 100 million first. You need to have detailed planning to achieve this before you can think further.

3 This statement is based on my own experience. Now that I am the richest man, my first goal was to earn 100 million first.

4. The people around me also thought it was impossible to achieve this goal. This small goal compared to the richest man is also a general direction worth striving for at the beginning. It's there, waiting for us to chase it. It's better if you get it. If not, we can accept a slightly inferior result!

When you see this, do you understand a lot more than you did at the beginning? Putting the language back into its original context and filling in many of the gaps in our minds will have completely different meanings. Many times we are surprised that others actually say this or that, largely because we do not understand what the entire sentence means.

Let’s take a closer look at the circumstances under which the “small goals” and “100 million” that caused everyone’s controversy were said.

In the previous part, the richest man was admonishing everyone. The big goals you pursue in life cannot be achieved all at once. The stage in my heart is getting bigger and bigger little by little. If you want to achieve your greatest goals, you must have methods and plans. Compared with the goal of "being the richest man", we must first find a much smaller goal that is achievable. If this cannot be achieved, the higher goal will be even more unattainable. So, let's take a closer look. The small word "one hundred million" is relative to the big man, the richest man. With this comparison, the logic will be much smoother!

In the later part, Chairman Wang also admitted that for him back then, "100 million" was a very big number. So, in the specific implementation, if you can achieve the best, even if you can't achieve that much, you will still make a profit! Here, I suddenly remembered the famous saying of Confucius: "If you take it from above, you will get it from within; if you take it from below, you will get it from below; if you take it from below, you will get nothing." Only by setting the goal of struggle higher can we pursue better!

Wait!

Did everyone see something? It seems that the goal of "100 million" is big at one moment and small at the other.

So in Mr. Wang’s eyes, is this goal big or small? Isn't it contradictory to say so? As a writer, am I trying to understand things randomly?

Actually not! There is no contradiction between before and after.

What I understand here is that Wang Jianlin provided a new idea for everyone's life planning: "Strategically attach importance to the enemy, and tactically despise the enemy." The establishment of a reasonable goal: relatively Compared with the ultimate pursuit of life, it must be as specific and realistic as possible. Compared with the specific reality of a stage, it should be as lofty as possible and give people enough motivation to pursue it. Just like, if a person wants to become the greatest writer in China this century. So, what is his "small goal" compared to life? ——For example, publish a best-selling book. Only by doing this can you go further and further on the road to becoming a great writer. Compared with reality, facing the current situation where each article only gets a few likes, if you work hard to write a best-selling book, that would be great. But if you can’t achieve that, it’s not a bad idea to gather enough fans and likes and become a signed author!

If highly abstracted, Mr. Wang’s conversation can also be expressed as a common point of view in chicken soup articles:

1. Don’t shout slogans from afar; Make plans and set goals that you can achieve.

2. Be more ambitious. If you don’t push yourself, how do you know how good you are?

However, this kind of truth, which is often seen in chicken soup articles and can arouse people's blood, why does the richest man not get any praise when he comes out to explain it?

It’s very simple. To pursue the resonance, the first thing to do is that our frequencies are similar. However, differences in industry and status make it difficult for us to elicit a sense of sudden enlightenment and excitement.

On the one hand, the examples given by Chairman Wang are those young entrepreneurs who are ambitious. This is not what ordinary people think. And we ordinary people really don’t spend much time thinking about running the world’s largest company and becoming the world’s richest man. In our night sky, there are a few stars, but there is no bright moon or scorching sun. On the other hand, we are not engaged in related industries. We don’t know the market conditions and profits here. Wanda started out in real estate, and was almost the first to commercialize the real estate market in mainland China. We living in this era cannot appreciate how much development was achieved in the tide of reform at that time. We may know the price of a pound of pork, but we don’t know the profit of a project. The difference in position also makes it difficult for us to understand: Why is a number as big as 100 million considered a small target in your mouth?

So, I thought of a way. The so-called empathy is not just our imagination. If I were Wang Jianlin, why would I say this. Because you probably can't even imagine it. It’s about transforming the environment and turning it into, how should I say this when it’s around me? For example, it can be like this:

1. It is right to want to be as thin as a flash of lightning. The direction of struggle! But what? First set a small goal that is achievable. For example, I will lose 20 pounds first. Can you see if you can lose 20 pounds in a few months? Are you planning for five months or three months? We should lose 20 pounds before we talk about the next goal. I'm striving for a more suitable weight!

2. It is right to want to be a great writer. The direction of struggle! But what? First set a small goal that can be achieved, for example, I will publish a book first. Do you think it will take a few years to publish a book? Are you planning for five years or three years? We should publish a book before we talk about the next goal. I will publish another 10 or 100 books!

3. I want to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. This is right. The direction of struggle! But what? First set a small goal that can be achieved. For example, let's say I first become the first in the class. See if you can become number one in the class with a few mock exams? Do you plan five times or three times? We should reach the first place in the class before we talk about the next goal.

I am ranked first in the whole grade!

At this point, we seem to be hilarious, contrastingly cute, and can slightly arouse our hatred and jealousy of the rich. Can everyone understand it a little bit?

Sometimes, when you see a sentence, think about the circumstances under which it was produced? To whom was he speaking? What is it that he wants to prove?

We will have less inexplicable tempers and more gains from thinking.

After all, when a temper arises, no matter how small it is, you are the one who is unhappy.

After all, when you gain something, no matter how small it is, you still benefit.

I am Yuzai, I am here, waiting for you in the universe.
