You should have success in the sun

You should have success in the sun

- A letter from Li Yanhong to young people

friends:

At this moment, the northern hemisphere is entering the summer, the daylight becomes longer, the sun is full, and life is from maturity to maturity. You may be a student who is studying, a graduate who is about to leave the campus, enter the workplace, or a newcomer who is working hard for the ideal. Now, you are also at the stage of maturity in life.

Before Baidu moved away from Beijing Zhongguancun, the window of my office has been facing my alma mater, Peking University. Through that window, I can see the dormitory I lived in and the mature self from the green. University time gave me the ability to think and judge independently, and I have benefited from my life.

Looking back, I often feel lucky. I spent the best time of my life, engaged in my most passionate career, and created some value for the world in the process of growing up. On this way, I adhere to those simple, simple beliefs, and rely on the power of these beliefs to gradually approach success.

You are entering the wider world with novelty and a little uneasiness, entering the summer of life. In this season, what kind of path you will take will determine your future gains. At this moment, you are also lucky. Because the whole world is becoming more rational and fair. In such a world, with simple beliefs, you will gain tremendous power; in such a world, you don't have to go against your own heart, give up the edges and personality to learn the sleek way of life; in such a world, the success of the sun and We are so close.

The Internet is rapidly merging with traditional industries. Business rules are being completely changed, and people's lifestyles are changing at the same time. At the same time, society becomes inclusive and fair rules become unimpeded. This is an era full of opportunities: many traditional rules have completely failed, and a new order is being established, just like the sun, everything.

It is because of this change that simple and simple rules will come back to work. In accordance with these rules, we will let our lives abandon unnecessary deviousness and dodge with a friendly, responsible and positive attitude and actions towards others and the whole world, so that our inner desires drive the true self and have the success in the sun. If life has a shortcut, this is the shortest route.

You are destined to be tested and honed, perhaps, some pain. But this is like the dark clouds and thunderstorms of summer, which can only occupy the sky for a short time. If the world has given you a less positive impact, you need to let go of these burdens from now on and gain success in the sun – because it is in line with the direction of society and the world.

Both Baidu and Baidu cannot provide shortcuts to life and unspoken rules in the workplace, and we are not sorry for this, because these are not what users need.

You don't have to distort the true self because of the influence of the external environment;

You don't have to practice the so-called tricks you once dismissed to get others to appreciate;

You don't have to associate your achievements with the imaginary and the snake, the wind, the rudder, the suffering, the fear of the tail.

Have a simple success in the sun, let yourself become daring, happy, and good at creating value for the world.

Your friend Li Yanhong
