There is a famous idiom in "The Analects of Confucius? Zilu": "Haste makes waste." It means that the subjective desire for speed violates the objective laws and fails to achieve the goal. For entrepreneurs who believe that "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day" is the most difficult concept to accept. In fact, entrepreneurship itself is a process that requires long-term efforts. Therefore, if you want to succeed quickly, you will only "have haste, waste time."

For some entrepreneurs who are eager to succeed, Yu Minhong’s advice is to “do urgent things slowly”. Yu Minhong explained: "Do urgent things slowly, which means that no matter how urgent things are, you have to do them slowly in order to do them well... The 'urgent things' mentioned here refer to those things that we subjectively want to complete as soon as possible, but in fact require huge amounts of time. It takes patience and long-term hard work to accomplish something.”

I remember something happened in the countryside when I was a child: In order to obtain a better harvest, the adults over-fertilized a field and the rice began to grow extremely hard. It is vigorous, but the grains produced in the end are small and shriveled. There is a similar story in the Buddhist scriptures: There was a caterpillar who dreamed that one day he could grow into the largest and most beautiful butterfly, so he ate desperately. When he pupated into a butterfly, his wings could not carry his overweight body, and he finally fell to the ground. He fell to his death on the ground.

As long as you have a reasonable goal and a reasonable dream, and accumulate things bit by bit, you are most afraid of being anxious. Once you become anxious, the foundation is not solid, and you want to build a high-rise building. This money Once thrown in, it can never come out again. Therefore, when starting a business, you should remember the saying in Buddhism: "Do urgent things slowly." That is, the more urgent things are, the faster things are, do them slowly. Sometimes, if you don't think clearly about things, wait a little. It might be possible to do it more efficiently than you would in a hurry.

Yu Minhong believes that "doing urgent things slowly" is his advantage.

I am a person who takes things slowly. I have always had poor grades from elementary school to middle school. I took the college entrance examination for three years and have never been in a hurry. There is no use in rushing. I can only take my time. , and finally got admitted to Peking University, which was a good result.

I was ranked fifth from the bottom of my class in college, so I wasn’t in a hurry. Very few New Oriental employees saw me losing my temper. Most of the time, when you can’t do something anymore, being anxious doesn’t work. The only way you can do it is We must accumulate the strength to strengthen ourselves
