Another way to pursue your dreams

In February of 2019, a message on Weibo caught people's attention. Tencent's security was after several rounds of interviews and eventually became an engineer at Tencent Research Institute. This microblog forwarded more than 20,000 in a short period of time. Soon this microblog was confirmed and forwarded by Tencent CEO Ma Huateng, and this security section Xiaolei was also known as "2012 Inspirational Brother".

Bao Lei is only 24 years old. He graduated from Luoyang Normal University in 2019 and holds a double degree in computer and business administration. After graduation, Duan Xiaolei came to Beijing with the dream of becoming an IT engineer. However, what Duan Xiaolei did not think was that it was not easy to find a suitable job in Beijing. After Duan Xiaolei hit the wall, life was in trouble. In the end, Xiaolei decided to find a quick start to work in Beijing, and just Tencent Beijing Research Institute was insured, so Duan Xiaolei came to Tencent Beijing Research Institute to become a security.

Although life is temporarily settled, Duan Xiaolei did not give up his ideals. In the spare time, Duan Xiaolei will come up with a computer-related book to learn, he knows his ideal is to become an IT engineer. However, while studying hard, he did not forget his own job, but actively engaged in his own work. In the bulletin board of Tencent Beijing Research Institute, you can often see some warm reminders made by Duan Xiaolei, such as " Tomorrow will change, pay attention to adding clothes," "Today work overtime so late, go back to rest"...

Soon, the employees of Tencent Beijing Research Institute knew that there was a special preservation in the preservation of the institute, and they also liked to chat with this security. Duan Xiaolei didn't feel inferior because he was protecting. On the contrary, he took the initiative to talk with colleagues about some computer topics. Soon Xiaolei was familiar with most of the employees of Tencent Research Institute.

Just in January of this year, a project that Hidi was responsible for urgently needed a group of external employees. She had already known that Duan Xiaolei was reading a computer book and asked him half-jokingly: "Would you like to help us outsource data annotation? Work?” This is a basic job that requires skilled computer operation and data sensitivity. What surprised Hidi was that one afternoon a few days later, Duan Xiaolei found out that she had officially resigned and could help her with data tagging.

After the interview, Duan Xiaolei successfully became an external employee of Tencent, responsible for some data compilation and data operations. Because the work involves external testing of Tencent products, Duan Xiaolei is convenient to use his break time to find friends and classmates to experience products, and has been active in his test QQ group. Hidi was very satisfied with his work and began to consciously hand over some of his product work to him so that he could lay the groundwork for his future career planning by contacting product design and looking for opportunities to get some internal training.

Duan Xiaolei successfully completed the work that Hidi handed over to him, and Duan Xiaolei's work made Haidi very satisfied. Therefore, she suggested that Duan Xiaolei should apply to the institute. Duan Xiaolei eventually became an engineer at Tencent Research Institute after several rounds of interviews.

Duan Xiaolei is now a man in the team. Although there are more and more people who know his story, he still maintains a clear understanding of himself. He knows that he still has a lot of things to learn, and he is also prone to some low-handed problems. At Duan Xiaolei's station, there are various sticky notes with work tasks and inspirational content: “More communication with colleagues, more predecessors to ask for advice”, “Browse industry information for no less than 30 minutes every day; Weibo; send a deep blog post every month" and so on.

Netizens all called Duan Xiaolei as "inspirational brother", but Duan Xiaolei did not relax. He had a lot of netizens asking him questions on his Weibo. What made him insist on the pursuit of dreams? Duan Xiaolei said: Because there is a dream, maybe Many people think that this is a vain word, but in my heart it is very clear, I also thought about giving up, but not giving up is not a dream, but to give up the way of working now, and to pursue the dream in another way.

Everyone has a dream, but not every dream can be realized. Sometimes when we can't realize our dreams, we should think about what we should give up should not be dreams, but the way we work hard. Perhaps this is the best revelation that Duan Xiaolei gave us.
