We think we are very busy and do not even have a moment of free time to think about the ultimate purpose and value of what we do, but we end up falling into emptiness and In a daze.
A friend once said to me: "Life has become very dangerous now because we are so busy that we don't even have time to think."
I thought he was a bit alarmist at the time. . Life is about living in reality. If you think about it all day long, you may become more confused the more you think about it. So I still insist on arranging a full schedule of things every day, so that I don't have any free time, as if my heart will be empty once I have free time.
In such busyness, another year has passed quickly. One day at the end of October, under the "force" of several friends, I squeezed out three days, and they took me away from the daily busyness to go to Lijiang to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which I had never seen before.
Lijiang is a good place. In Dayan Ancient Town, there are old houses scattered in different heights, stone streets that are uneven due to the passage of time, winding rivers that flow continuously through the ancient city, and lively bars at night. Take a leisurely stroll with tourists.
However, many tourists come to Lijiang not only because it is an ancient city that can provide people with a taste of being away from the hustle and bustle, but also because there is a beautiful snow-capped mountain next to this ancient city that is closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere. That is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is more than 5,000 meters high.
It was already night when we arrived, and we couldn’t see the shadow of the mountain. The next morning, I got up and opened the window. In the distance, a snow-capped mountain covered with rays of light and surrounded by clouds and mist seemed to be coming towards me. Her beauty made me stand still, unable to move for a long time, as if there was an electric current passing through my body. In the early morning, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain generously displayed her beauty in front of me.
In the next three days of the trip, we almost all circled around the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The ancient city of Lijiang was on this side of the snow mountain, and the Tiger Leaping Gorge was on the other side of the snow mountain.
In the past two days, we looked at the snow-capped mountains from a distance and experienced their solemnity and sacredness. On the last day, everyone said they wanted to take a closer look at the snow-capped mountains, so they drove in the direction of the snow-capped mountains. When the car was driving on the mountain road, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain suddenly disappeared.
Many peaks appeared in front of us, all of which looked tall and majestic, but there was no snow on the tops. We climbed over the high and low mountains and began to feel uneasy. Suddenly, the tallest peak of the snow-capped mountain, Fan Steep, led to several other snow-capped peaks, towering in front of us. Its majesty and beauty once again made me stunned.
We decided to sit at the foot of the mountain and look up at the snow-capped mountains with awe. While sitting in silence, I suddenly thought about the scene where I had been walking around in the mountain just now, but could not see the main peak of the snow-capped mountain, and I was shocked.
The hills are in front of us, blocking the mountains behind us, so that we cannot see the majesty and purity of the mountains. Isn't this just like in real life, we are often blocked by immediate interests and short-term goals, so that we lose our lofty ideals and lofty pursuits?
We think we are so busy that we don’t even have a moment of free time to think about the ultimate purpose and value of what we do, but we end up falling into emptiness and confusion.
When they are studying hard in the classroom, when they are busy in the office, when they are working hard in the business field, how many people have asked themselves where the tall and pure snow peak is in their hearts? How many people can, no matter how cruel real life is, always keep a sky in the corner of their hearts that will not be polluted no matter what?
When people care about each other, compete with each other, envy each other and slander each other for interests, status, and power, at first we may want to remain noble and stay out of the matter, but over time, we see that Those who care about everything can often get immediate benefits, and then they begin to become mentally unbalanced and start to get involved in the fight.
Sometimes we really want to stick to a little bit of nobility in our hearts, but we can’t stand the thought that everyone around us thinks we are fools. There are not many people who can live in harmony with the world and be independent at the same time.
Secular vision will bring you to your knees with overwhelming force, forcing you to become as mediocre as everyone else. Gradually, you find that becoming mediocre makes your life easier and makes other people more comfortable, so surrendering to reality becomes a habit.
There is such a story, the king of a country discovered that the people in the entire country went crazy because they drank water from a well. He tried every possible means to find medicine everywhere in the hope of curing everyone's illness, but everyone refused to take the medicine, thinking that the king was crazy. In the end, the king had to drink well water and became a madman, so the whole country rejoiced and celebrated that the king had become normal. In fact, this country has completely turned into a country of lunatics.
The world relies on spiritual and moral guidance to move toward glory, otherwise it is not far from destruction; human beings rely on inner kindness and innocence to move toward heaven, otherwise it is not far from hell.
Only by always retaining some yearning for lofty ideals and a happy life in the complicated and hurried real life, can we keep the "snow-capped mountain covered with rays of light and surrounded by clouds and mist" in our hearts.
I once again thought of my friend’s words. Indeed, when we are so busy that we don’t even have time to think, our lives become quite dangerous. Inspirational article 2 written by famous experts: Dreams require action
When we have dreams, we must take courage and action to go through the fog of time and let life show a different color.
We often hear people have various dreams, and every dream sounds beautiful, but in reality, we rarely see people who are truly perseverant and go all out to realize their dreams. people. People are keen to talk about dreams as a mantra, a kind of comfort for the boring and meager life day after day. Many people live with dreams all their lives, but never seriously try to realize their dreams.
Only humans can dream and turn dreams into reality. There is no wonderful life without dreams. Dreams are people's yearning for the future. It means a life that has not yet been experienced, it means endless possibilities, it means unexpected surprises, and it means confidence in oneself.
But what stops people from realizing their dreams? We hear countless reasons. Yu Minhong’s inspirational classic: Dreams require action. Yu Minhong’s inspirational classic: Dreams require action. For example, I want to travel somewhere but don’t have enough money; I want to learn English but don’t have enough time; I want to pursue someone but I feel the conditions are not mature enough, etc. People rarely attribute the reasons for things they cannot do or have not done yet to themselves. They often habitually look for some external reason to excuse themselves, breathe a sigh of relief, and then continue to live their mediocre lives. Days, let the dream lie in a corner of the body and sleep soundly.
In fact, external factors only account for a small part of the reason for whether you can realize your dreams, and subjective factors are the main reasons for whether you can realize your dreams. For a person to realize his or her dream, the most important thing is to have the following two conditions: courage and action. Courage refers to the courage to give up and invest. If a person wants to fight for a dream, he must give up something that he is currently holding on to. It is impossible to experience the wind and waves of the sea while keeping the calmness of the river; to climb the dangerous peaks with infinite scenery and walk on the flat and comfortable plains at the same time. Investment means that once you determine a dream worth pursuing, you must devote yourself to it wholeheartedly. What you think may not come true. The prerequisite for success is to work hard. For example, if a person wants to learn to swim, the only way is to plunge into the swimming pool. You may choke a few times at first, but you will definitely learn to swim in the end.
Therefore, the key to realizing your dreams is to act decisively. Action is the most powerful force. A student once said that he wants to travel around the world in the future and become a traveler and adventurer like Xu Xiake and Marco Polo, to feel the boundless majesty of the sea, experience the majestic undulations of the desert, and explore the pyramids on the banks of the Nile under the setting sun. Mystery, pursue the sacredness on the top of the Himalayas in the clouds and mist. But he said he didn’t have money yet and would wait until he became a millionaire before doing these things. I asked him two questions. First, if he didn’t become a millionaire in this life, would he still travel? Second, if you are too old to walk when you become a millionaire, should you still travel? I told him that the best way is to hit the road now, grab a stick and a bowl, and beg for food along the way to realize your dream. Dreams cannot wait, especially if they cannot be premised on the realization of another condition. It is precisely because many people have fallen into the stereotype that if they want to do this, they must do that first, they end up spinning in circles all their lives, and their lives never become exciting again. Inspirational article 3 written by famous experts: If you want to succeed, the most important thing is to cultivate yourself
Nowadays, we talk about Internet + and subversion all day long. I think the most important thing is a person The ability to embrace changes from the heart and look for opportunities in changes. This is the most fundamental guarantee to maintain the sustainable development of enterprises.
1. If you want to succeed, the most important thing is to cultivate yourself
In the end, no matter how the times change or how the technology changes, the business subversion model brought about by mobile Internet will It will change the form of certain businesses to some extent. If everyone wants to succeed, the most important thing is to cultivate themselves. If you cultivate yourself well, you can cultivate your company or your career.
Among the people in China, the ones I admire most are entrepreneurs. The reason is very simple, because these entrepreneurs are accepting new ideas, new thinking, and new challenges every moment, and have the courage to change and transform themselves. Because they are not just looking for change, they must put their business and personal lives ahead of change. Before changes occur, the situation must be laid out.
In addition, they must also have very keen judgment ability. It is very difficult to be able to stand, stand and sit firmly. Seven years ago, Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin had a conversation. At that time, Wang Jianlin wanted to build a Wanda Cinema. Jack Ma suggested that Wang Jianlin not build a cinema. All movies can be found online, and piracy is so rampant in China.
With the rise of home theaters, the screens and speakers at home are no worse than those in movie theaters. If you run a Wanda Cinema, you will definitely be dead. At that time, I remember Wang Jianlin only said one sentence, "Brother Ma, can you imagine the scene of two young people falling in love and watching a movie at home, with their parents sitting behind them and watching together?" In fact, this is business judgment.
2. Subversion is not easy, you must have subversive thinking
Whether it is Chen Chunhua or Chen Dongsheng just now, or Yu Minhong standing here, they have been challenged by countless people. and subverted. Some people say they want to subvert Taikang Life Insurance, and many people say they want to subvert New Oriental. From the end of 2013 to 2014, there were about 40 companies, large and small, that shouted slogans to subvert New Oriental. The most powerful company said that New Oriental would become extinct from the earth in three months. I'm still standing here today like a dinosaur, but where that company went, I don't know. It is not easy to be subversive. You must have subversive thinking.
In the final analysis, you still have to cultivate yourself. In fact, cultivation starts when you are young, when you have nothing. I made a summary. If a person wants to break through himself, he must have a Dionysian spirit. This is an important reason why I get drunk 60 times every year. Those who dare not flirt when they are sober dare to flirt, and those who dare not make requests to Chen Dongsheng when they are sober can make demands. This is a breakthrough.
Four years ago, a dozen of us entrepreneurs traveled to the Hulunbuir Grassland and passed by a particularly beautiful grassland, but there was a circle of wire surrounding the mountain. I just wanted to run to the mountain to see the spectacular scenery of the entire grassland. All the entrepreneurs wanted to go, but no one dared to cross the barbed wire fence. In the end, I stepped on the barbed wire fence and walked forward. In the end, I was caught by another entrepreneur. He said that the barbed wire fence meant that it was the herdsmen's own territory. If I entered, I might be killed by the herdsmen with one shot.
I just think that herdsmen are also human beings, and we can’t just shoot them to pieces when they see them. So I climbed to the top of the mountain, and found the blue sky and white clouds, cattle and sheep everywhere on the hillside, and the scenery was extremely magnificent. As a result, everyone saw that I was fine up there, so they all climbed up. In fact, this is our own breakthrough, and it is also a small thing. The barbed wire fence in front of you may not be blocking you, but may be blocking cattle and sheep from running onto other people's property. As a result, you see it as something blocking you. How many things within us block ourselves? Too many.
3. If you don’t do it, this world will have no chance for you.
Let me tell you another story. Why did Jack Ma make Alibaba so big and why did New Oriental make it so small? The reason is because we all have different levels of confidence in ourselves. Jack Ma and I have many similar experiences. We both studied foreign languages. We took the college entrance examination for three years, and we both passed the exam in the third year. I was admitted to the undergraduate program at Peking University, and he was admitted to the junior college program at Hangzhou Normal University. Everyone immediately understood that the two men were not only different in appearance, but also in IQ.
But what makes Ma Yun better than me is that he has set some very high standards for himself. He wants to change from a junior college to an undergraduate degree, to become the president of the school student union, and to have a chat with the school's beautiful school belle. Love, these three criteria were all unachievable when I entered Peking University. However, he achieved them all in four years of university.
I have been feeling inferior at Peking University for seven years. I have never pursued any girls or participated in any academic activities. The only reason is that I feel that I have failed and lost my face. If I pursue girls, they will reject me; if I run for the student union, I can’t stand up to others. If I simply don’t do it, you won’t know that I failed.
The key is that if you don’t do it, the world will have no chance with you. Do I have the ability to fall in love? There must be, I succeeded in pursuing the first woman. Do I have the ability to do things? Yes, my first business was New Oriental, and it was successful. So when your ability is denied by yourself, you can't do anything in this world.
Although Jack Ma has no ability, he does not deny himself. Because you don’t deny yourself, you become more and more capable. As you become more and more capable, you will increase your self-confidence and feel that you can get things done. So I often say that I am very glad that I succeeded in making New Oriental the first time. If I could not succeed, I would not have the courage to start a business a second time. Jack Ma started Alibaba for the fifth time. He still believed that he could get things done, and Alibaba did it. In addition, Alibaba went public in the United States eight years later than New Oriental, but its market value is dozens of times higher than that of New Oriental. New Oriental is now only 4 billion US dollars, while Alibaba is 200 billion US dollars.
So you can only change others by overcoming yourself and changing yourself. To change yourself, you must change the nature of your thinking. When you want to embrace change, deep down you have to think I am that person. When I positioned myself as a leader in China's private education industry, I realized that I had found the right path. Once you position yourself correctly, you will change. Jack Ma is very powerful. He has positioned himself since he was in college. Since I look so inconspicuous, my spirit must be conspicuous and I want to become a leader in any industry in China.
The foreign language training class that Jack Ma and I started at the same time had 13 students in the first class. Three years later, it had 3,000 students.
There were 20 people in Jack Ma’s first class, and three years later there were still 20 people. But what makes Jack Ma better than me? Nearly ten of Alibaba’s Eighteen Arhats came from his class. Jack Ma is better than anyone else in terms of his ability to employ people and tap into their potential.
4. Seize the thinking, seize the change, seize the opportunity
I found that in such a cross-border era, just hard work will not work, you must use your strength wisdom. It no longer works to talk about Internet+ or O2O, nor does it work to talk about subversion, because subversion happens naturally. What we have to do is to subvert some of our own business models before being subverted by others; Before others rob us, we must first rob ourselves. Efforts will not work, but grasping thinking, seizing changes, and seizing opportunities will work. The people who are truly your enemies are not even on your enemy list. There is no one in education that I am afraid of. What I am afraid of is that someone who has nothing to do with education will appear out of nowhere and have an idea that is subverted by education.
The so-called entrepreneurs who have become an industry may be subverted, but we still need to calm down and think about the aspects in which we should not rush to subvert ourselves. Last year, New Oriental held a meeting to discuss that we simply shut down all offline operations and moved everything online. Later I said that this matter cannot be done casually, because I think that although some things in education will be completely subverted and moved online, such as the education of dispersed people over the age of 18, I think that education, in another essence, uses Doing it in an enterprise way can better enable students to grow up healthily.
Any changes must be based on your in-depth understanding of your own industry and your own customer groups. You cannot change just by listening to what others say. If Wang Jianlin had listened to us at that time, Wanda Cinema would not have done it, and now it would have lost a company with a market value of 50 billion yuan. So in the end, you have to understand the nature of business before you can start operating, or you can start doing business.
Finally, I end with an English line from "Forrest Gump". My favorite phrase is I know I am not smart, but I know what love is. I know I am not smart, but I know where love is. Business models can be learned at any time, but love comes from your heart.
When you love your career, when you love your life, and when you are willing to combine your life with your career, I believe you will be invincible!
