Success has no end


Success has no end

——Yu Minhong, founder of New Oriental, talks about “English learning and life struggle”

Is it difficult for you to learn English? Do you want to learn English well? Do you have the confidence to learn English well? Are you a successful person? Do you want to be a successful person? Listen to Yu Minhong's theory:
Learn the three "realms" of English
Yu Minhong vividly quoted Su Dongpo's three sentences to compare the three realms of learning English.
First, "Looking at the mountains is the mountain, watching the water is the water." When I first started learning English, it was a deliberate study to recite words and learn grammar. It was a scattered impression. Second, "Look at the mountains is not a mountain. Water is not water. When you learn a certain time, you will find that you are in a stage where stagnation cannot leap. At this time, there is even some powerlessness. Third, “Look at the mountains or the mountains, see the water or the water”, when you complete the qualitative leap When you reach English, you don't realize that you are speaking when you speak English, but you feel as natural as speaking your mother tongue.
Yu Minhong said that our study should pursue the third realm: when you are translating English, you can blurt out without thinking, even if you don't realize that you are speaking English, the level of proficiency is as natural as translating your hometown into Mandarin.
"Being like a water, doing things like a mountain"
Yu Minhong was once rated by the media as one of the top ten corporate stars with the most potential for appreciation, and one of the 25 entrepreneurs who influenced China in the 20th century. As the founder of New Oriental, Yu Minhong said that success is always a kind of mentality of people rather than doing things themselves; to be a successful person, you should learn to "do people like water and do things like mountains." Specifically, people should be easy to follow the water, and work like climbing a mountain. The goal is always the top of the mountain. Try to climb step by step to achieve success. In the process of hard work, the mentality of struggle is a kind of success, and in a person's life, success is never ending.
Yu Minhong said that being a successful person does not require you to be much better than others at the beginning, but once is better than others, one thing is better than others, one day is better than others, and it will accumulate over time, and one day you will find you. Has been far ahead, others can no longer catch up with you.

Leaving a life that touched the students, Yu Minhong deeply recalled his journey of study, struggle, and entrepreneurship. He said: "In life, you must leave some days to touch yourself."
Many years ago, he was only a poor and inferior rural child in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province. He decided to take the college entrance examination in order to get rid of poverty. At that time, the highest ideal was a college in Changshu Normal School, but he failed after two years of examination. In the end, English changed his destiny. Under the oil lamp, he used the most mechanical method to die 300 sentences in English, from Chinese to English, and from English to Chinese... This stupid way made him reluctant to test Going to Peking University; just entering Peking University because the English foundation is too bad to drop several levels, even the class can not understand, even by the teacher's ridicule, he also practiced oral listening; aware of the importance of learning English, the original venture for English The qualifications of the cram school, he accompanied the people to drink and almost drunk...
But Yu Minhong finally succeeded. He walked through those days of struggle and struggle, and New Oriental became a household name in China. Yu Minhong’s ambition is: By 2008, New Oriental will train 1 million English talents each year and realize a revenue of 10 billion yuan, becoming the world’s largest foreign language education and training base.
This macro is willing to make people excited. “Crazy?” He said: “8 years ago, I was still squatting at the school and secretly posting the TOEFL advertisements around the school. At that time, if someone told me, I would become the principal of a training school with an annual income of nearly 100 million yuan. I will feel crazy myself."
