Chapter 1:

God-like Kobe: Do you know what Los Angeles looks like at four in the morning?

I don’t I follow the NBA, but I always hear about Kobe’s god-like existence, a man who is feared in the basketball world. What makes me admire Kobe? Do you know what it’s like in Los Angeles at four o’clock every morning? Interview:

The reporter asked: Why are you so successful?

Kobe He asked back: Do you know what it's like at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles?

The reporter shook his head: I don't know, then tell me what it's like at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles?

Kobe scratched his head and said: The sky is full of stars, with few lights and few pedestrians. ?

Speaking of this, Kobe smiled, "I don't know exactly what happened." But it doesn't matter, right? Every day at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles it's still dark, so I get up and walk on the dark streets of Los Angeles. One day has passed, and the darkness of Los Angeles has not changed at all; two days have passed, and the darkness has still not changed at all; more than ten years have passed, and the darkness of the streets of Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has still not changed, but I have become muscular and strong. An athlete with physical fitness, strength, and a high shooting percentage. ?

I checked Baidu Encyclopedia: Kobe is one of the best scorers in the NBA. He is very familiar with breakthroughs, shooting, free throws, and three-pointers. He has almost no offensive blind spots. He scored 81 points in a single game. His personal record strongly proves this point. In addition to his crazy scoring, Kobe also has outstanding organizational skills and often serves as the first initiator of the team's offense. In addition, Kobe is also one of the best defenders in the league, and his personal defense is very oppressive.

Regarding Kobe’s 4 a.m. training, the book "My Training Story with Kobe" by Robert Allert, a well-known American trainer, provides detailed support for what Kobe said. The book records such a story:

During preparations for the 2012 London Olympics, Robert came to Las Vegas with the US men's basketball team.

It was the night before the team members began to practice together. Alert, who had been busy until late at night, was preparing to go to bed, and at this moment, Robert's cell phone rang. He thought, who else would call at this time? Because it was already 3:30 in the morning.

There must be no accident! Robert answered the call nervously. It was Kobe. ?Mr. Robert, I hope I didn't bother you. ?Kobe said. So polite, without any airs of a big shot, even though Robert was so sleepy that he could hardly stand it, he still said politely: Why bother? Kobe, what's the matter? The other end of the phone said, I want to know , can you help me with some physical training? Of course, see you in the training hall later!? Robert hung up the phone and hurried to the training hall. He thought, Kobe can't be left waiting there.

When he arrived at the training hall, Robert was surprised. Kobe didn't know when he arrived there, and he saw that he had been trained so much that he was soaked with sweat, as if he had just climbed out of the water.

Seeing Robert deliberately pretending to be energetic, Kobe saw it and said: "I'm going to have to work hard for you, let's start." Under Robert's guidance, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to do physical fitness. workout, followed by 45 minutes of strength training. It's almost 6am. Robert felt that he couldn't hold on anymore and said: "I'm sorry, I have to go back to the hotel to rest." ?Kobe said, ?Thank you for your hard work! Okay, I'll go practice shooting. ?

According to the arrangement, at 11 a.m., Robert, who had only rested for more than 4 hours, had to go to the training hall to guide the whole team in training. When he arrived at the training hall, some of the players who had arrived were chatting and some were discussing something with the coach, but Kobe was still sweating profusely and practicing shooting. ?When will you finish? Robert said with special emotion. Kobe asked: "End of what?" Robert said, "shooting practice." ?Seeing the basketball thrown in his hand draw an arc and fall steadily into the basket, Kobe said, ?This is the end. ?It turned out that that ball was the 800th ball he made that day.

The record in Robert's book is just one day and a fragment in Kobe's long sports career. In fact, he has been almost like this since entering the NBA. When most people are still sleeping, he has appeared in the Lakers' training room, but he does not always have a trainer to guide him.

Kobe Bryant said: As long as I am still playing basketball, I want to win the championship. Rather than saying that he is a great star, it is better to say that he represents a unique spirit: ability, ambition, and hard work.

Chapter 2:

Tang Wei: The days after being banned

I have my own foundation, which has been ignored by most people for a long time. With my own ability, I was admitted to the Department of Directing of Chinese Opera and became a professional model right after I entered school. During college, I also studied acting, broadcasting, and fine arts, and obtained the national second-level badminton athlete qualification. I have acted in TV series, plays, and Drama director; I have won many awards. Although it is not an international award, these awards confirm my steps step by step.

While "Lust, Caution" made me successful, it also easily erased my previous achievements. No one mentioned my past, as if I was an airborne soldier who landed directly on the Golden Horse Awards podium. The adjectives given to me are all luck, opportunity? These words have nothing to do with my own efforts? I do hope to become famous, but not at the expense of denying my own efforts.

Then, I was banned. I calmly took stock of the harvest after the big red and the black: the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, a certain cosmetics advertising endorsement, a vase, instant fame, over-the-top performances, adverse effects on young people? I was like the Shanghai Stock Exchange A-shares, rushing madly After reaching the highest point in history, the market suddenly collapsed.

I chose to go abroad for a period of time, not to escape anything, but because I didn’t want people to keep asking me about my future plans. In my opinion, the future is not spoken, but made.

I went to the UK with all my wealth: 500,000 yuan from "Lust, Caution" and 800,000 yuan from advertising endorsements. When I signed the contract, I agreed that the endorsement fee would be 6 million, but the new commercial was stopped after only a few airings. Although I can calmly keep the 4.8 million after tax of the 6 million as my own, but a gentleman loves money in a wise way. I Finally, 4 million was refunded.

Before going out, I didn’t know how long I would stay abroad, nor how long the money would last. But I don’t worry, I feel that I will definitely make myself live a good life.

I originally planned to find a school to study in, but I found out that it was unrealistic. First of all, British art schools have very high basic requirements for students. IELTS scores must be above 6.5, and TOEFL scores must be at least 1550. My English level is far from what is required to be admitted. Secondly, tuition fees in the UK are high. Even public universities like the University of the Arts London charge 10,000 pounds per year for regularly admitted students. For self-funded students like me, it is 30,000 to 40,000 pounds.

I weighed my wallet and gave up the idea of ??studying at my own expense. Next I found a language training class, specializing in English. My goal is to get a full scholarship with good grades. I inquired very clearly: The highest scholarship at the University of the Arts London is 18,000 pounds per year? With it, you can not only go to school for free, but also earn all your living expenses.

After that, I started thinking about financial issues. The money in hand can buy a house and a car in China, but in the UK, it is only the annual salary of a white-collar worker. And I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to make money, so I don’t want to use this capital. And I know that as long as a person is willing to use his brain, he will definitely come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Two things I learned in college came in handy? Art and badminton. In the UK, street artistship is a very lucrative career. As long as you have a skill and can show it on the street, you can get rewards.

My first time as a busker was to do an alternative street fashion show. I used old newspapers to tear out rough clothes, and then pinned them on my body. I'm wearing paper clothes, standing on the street with a hat in front of me, and it's open for business. In order to match the color of the fashion, I put on a thick layer of powder and put on makeup similar to that of a Japanese geisha. Seeing my strange appearance and fresh creativity, passers-by soon started throwing coins and banknotes enthusiastically. I had an MP3 player on my waist and plugged in my headphones to listen to English songs. When I got tired of doing the poses, I would change to another one. After standing on the roadside for two hours I had ￡26 55p.

In the eyes of the British, any behavior related to creation is regarded as art. I use oil paint to draw Peking opera masks on my face, and I get paid for it; I carry a bucket of water and write calligraphy on the sidewalk with a sponge brush, and I get paid for it; I move a chair, and I draw portraits of people passing by, and I get paid for it. ?If you take two hours a day to think about an idea, you can always earn dozens of pounds. This money is enough for my daily expenses, and it also makes my life in the UK gradually less difficult.

In addition to prostitution, I also prostitute myself. Playing badminton brings me higher income.

In the UK, labor costs are very expensive. I found a club, played a game with the resident coach, talked to the owner, and became a part-time sparring partner for the club. 80 pounds per hour, the boss charges a management fee of 20 pounds, and I make a net profit of 60 pounds. I train about 15 hours a week and earn 900 pounds, which just covers the rent and language classes.

In this way, one month after arriving in London, I changed from resting on my laurels to becoming self-sufficient. This kind of self-sufficiency not only gives me a stable life, but also makes me more confident.

Four months after arriving in London, I received a strange phone call from Bey Logan, the president of the Weinstein Brothers Film Company, who said that he wanted to make preliminary contacts to see if there was any possibility of cooperation.

A week later, when I was performing performance art on the street wearing a disposable tablecloth-turned-fashion, Bey Logan appeared in front of me with a smile. He complimented me on my creativity and aesthetics, and we had our first simple communication. What makes me happiest is not his praise, but that I can communicate with him fluently in English. We chatted for a quarter of an hour, and then Bey Logan invited me to join her for dinner. After agreeing on a time and place for dinner, he put a 100 euro note in my hat when he left. He said that as a partner, he treated me to dinner; as a passerby, he paid for my performance art.

Being a street performer and a badminton sparring partner is just a way to make a small amount of money. I feel that my talents are more than that, so I set my sights on my old profession, professional modeling.

Because of Bey Logan’s introduction, I got to know senior people in the British film and television industry. Through them, I got to know a group of famous makeup artists and image designers in the UK, and finally got in touch with the people who work with me every year? London Fashion Design Week has a regular collaboration with fashion designer Garay.

I told Garay that I had been a professional model and had extensive stage experience, and that I had an oriental charm and temperament that other models under his command did not possess. I showed him my photo, and I believed that the old Shanghai charm with the side profile and bright red lips was enough to impress any designer.

I succeeded. At the London Fashion Design Week in 2008, I became Garay’s “Queen Model”. I walked onto the runway of the fashion show wearing his latest Gothic mask fashion design. I don’t have an agent, the price was decided personally by Garay and I. I worked as a model for a week and my salary was 20,000 euros.

Garay is very satisfied with me. With his help, I have met many designers of international first-line brands. It can be said that as long as I am willing to develop in the British fashion industry, I believe that I will grow into the most watched fashion model in a short time.

Just when I was making optimistic plans for my future, I received a call from Hong Kong. Because of the Talents Program, I obtained a Hong Kong resident identity card, and Hong Kong invited me to go and develop.

What greeted me in Hong Kong was the contract to collaborate with Jacky Cheung on the new film "Moon Over Hennessy". When I was preparing to star in a new film, I had to take language classes again because my Cantonese was terrible. I feel that in order to achieve good development in a new environment, communication with others is essential. Everyone around me speaks Cantonese. I can't change this environment, so I can only adapt to the environment, because no matter what time, it is the survival of the fittest. Only by integrating and mastering can people go further.

She was banned, and she was so confident even when performing on the street. Some people are so good, but they cry out every day that they can't live this life. . .

Chapter 3:

CCTV anchor Zhang Quanling: In the second half of life, I want to do it again

Zhang Quanling

1997 , Zhang Quanling was admitted to the International Department of CCTV and served as reporter, editor, and host of "China Report". In 2000, Zhang Quanling served as the chief host of the new version of "Oriental Time and Space" and the host of the columns of "People Weekly", "Focus Interview" and "News Room" He won the 11th Yangtze River Taofen Award in 2010.

In early July 2015, Zhang Quanling confirmed his resignation from CCTV. On July 13, he joined Team Fu Sheng as a consultant and became a founding partner of Ziniu Fund.

To start over is not to deny, but to dare to let go. The hardest thing to let go of is not fame and fortune, nor the habitual lifestyle, but the mindset. I thought, I'm ready to let it go and start again.

I am 42 years old, and it has been 18 years since I came to CCTV in 1997. From any point of view, half of life has passed. Everything went well. From a normal perspective, success is achieved. According to the usual plan, it is still the best news platform and the best location. There are still many things to do. The original intention has not changed. My original intention is to satisfy curiosity and not just be alone.

Determined to change the origin is a false alarm. To put it simply, in early 2015, I was coughing up blood every day and the doctor suspected that I had lung cancer. After eliminating it, it helped me think about my life from a different angle. If I don't regret that my life has stopped here, then if it can last twice as long, what should I use to fill it. Where should my curiosity be directed.

In fact, since last year, I have begun to pay special attention to the Internet. I slowly began to understand some new logic and ideas. For example, wool can come from a pig, but a dog dies? The listening rate of some radio programs for taxi drivers has dropped, not at all because better programs have appeared, but because drivers are using Didi to take orders and do not listen to the radio. . It's very similar to the ruthless words in "The Three-Body Problem": "I will destroy you, it has nothing to do with you."

In short, this is another world that cannot be explained by the knowledge and logic I have accumulated over the years. And it has undoubtedly seeped into every aspect of my life.

I began to have a fear. The world is turning pages, and if I am not curious and studious enough, I will be like an ant trapped in the past page, and it seems that I still see the same heaven and earth, and those words. The real world has nothing to do with you.

One day, I saw an article co-written by Hawking and Leonard Monlotino, a theoretical physicist at Caltech. The beginning of the article describes such a scenario. A group of goldfish are kept in a circular glass fish tank. Which is more real, the world they see or the world we live in? In the world of goldfish, because light is refracted when it enters the water, it appears to us to move in a straight line An object that is not affected by external forces moves along a curve in the eyes of a goldfish. And if goldfish are smart enough, then goldfish can also summarize a set of physical laws in their world. Although, for those of us outside the goldfish bowl, this rule is simply nonsense. But the question is, how do we know that we are not in a larger round goldfish tank that we have not observed?

In fact, life is trapped in a glass tank from time to time. Once you understand it, you will become accustomed to a self-justifying logic, and advanced ones can also form self-consistency between theory and practice. This is true for everything from career to emotion, from life planning to thinking patterns.

I suddenly felt that if my curiosity was outside the fish tank and my body was still in the fish tank, my mind would be confused. I began to ask myself a question, should I leave CCTV, where I have worked for 18 years, to see the world from a different perspective?

At this time, Cheetah CEO Fu Sheng took me to meet a group of Chinese and American entrepreneurs have new ways of thinking, cutting-edge ideas, youthful energy, and the motivation to keep moving forward despite their immaturity. They are like a group of scouts for a new world, they are the future.

Think more and write them down.

Think more and you can grow with them.

This requires me to re-establish a more open learning mentality, and it also requires time and energy to plunge into it. Not in any way, it can be done through glass.

It actually takes courage to jump out of the fish tank, jump out of the environment you are used to, and jump out of what you are good at.

As for me, should I take this risk? When I am 42 years old.

The famous American investor Graham believes that the most suitable age for starting a business is 25 years old. Because at age 25, people have the weapons of "spirituality, poverty, rootlessness, classmates, and ignorance." The ignorance here is that entrepreneurs have no idea how difficult the future of starting a business is, so they are fearless. And I don’t have the ability of a 25-year-old to stay up late, nor do I have the convenience of packing up everything and moving away at any time.

In fact, when I first asked to leave, those who loved me and tried to protect me all said no firmly. At this age, from the perspective of marriage, any decision must be accepted by two people rather than happy by one person. I always feel guilty when talking about changes with those teachers and mentors who have given me opportunities to give me guidance over the years. I did not follow through on the precious perseverance within the system that was promised.

The only thing I have is my curiosity, which I still have at the age of 42. Hard struggle has no abrasive curiosity. Fortunately, the people who love me only block it because they want to protect me. They love me after all and know me. To extinguish curiosity is tantamount to murder.

The fish tank I want to jump out of is not CCTV or the system, but my thinking mode that has been slowly solidifying.

I didn’t convince them, or even myself, that it was safe for me to jump out at this step. A large number of the first creatures to leave the ocean must have become extinct before their lungs evolved completely. Now that I'm ready to let go, failure doesn't matter, it's just another beginning.

The most precious thing in life is time.

Although the 42-year-old does not have the advantage of the 25-year-old, he will be 43 if he doesn’t start. In fact, as long as the curiosity and courage are still there, it’s always time to start.

So, this is my new beginning, a partner of Ziniu Fund. The Ziniu Fund itself will also start in a completely new way in the venture capital world. Cheetah Mobile CEO Fu Sheng, Luo Zhenyu from Luoji Thinking, Zhang Ying from Matrix Partners, Li Xueling from 58.com, Yao Jinbo from 58.com, Xu Xiaoping from ZhenFund, and Su Mang from Fashion Group, we will work together to find Ziniu in the spotlight. , take you with you with real help in starting a business.
