Yu Minhong: Don't underestimate yourself, don't underestimate others

Yu Minhong: Don't underestimate yourself, don't underestimate others

There are two things that people can't do in their lifetime. One is to underestimate oneself and the other is to underestimate others. First, you can't underestimate yourself. Maybe you don't have excellent resources, but no matter how your current social status is, no matter how much resources you have, there is no necessary connection with the future success. Compared with Kai-Fu Lee, although I graduated from Peking University, I have not received excellent education from the West. Compared with Niu Gensheng, who started from the beginning, I seem to be lucky again. Niu Gensheng, who has the least resource advantage, has the spirit, endurance and courage like a cow, and finally created Mengniu.

Second, don't look down on others. Many people will look at people by appearance, which is very wrong. For example, when I was in college, because I was not handsome enough and I was born in a rural family, I was very unloved by girls. Today, after graduation, when the classmates gathered, our class girls came over and took my hand enthusiastically. So I joked that the man’s looks are inversely proportional to his achievements, and Ma Yun is the most typical example.

Do not give up, there will be a miracle of life

A poplar will turn into a big tree in 10 years, but it will never become a pine tree. However, human growth is a desire for an unpredictable future, and growth is a spirit of willingness to create miracles on the path of growth. We can't predict the future. The only thing we can do is to continue to advance on the road of growth, to overcome one difficulty after another, and not to give up, the miracle of life will appear.

Hawking, only one finger can move, the doctor had predicted that he could not live 20 years old, but he lived today and became the world's most famous scientist and futurist. Life must not be a hundred meters race, life is a lifetime marathon, how many distances are chosen by ourselves. As long as you don't give up, you will have a future and you will create a miracle of life.

There is no absolute fairness in this society. When I was studying at Peking University, I was only a child of a peasant family, and our classmates, some of them were professors’ children, cadres’ children, some students took the train to pick up the car, and we even car wheels. Can't afford it. At that time, you will find that the world is actually a lot unfair. So never go for fairness, the ability to acquire social resources and the ability to acquire the future is entirely on your own. Life is not equal, and nothing is breaking the shackles of our lives. Don't complain about reality, never use the present to judge the future, and bloom bright flowers every season of your life.

For example, Mr. Kaifu, gave up the treatment of excellent grip, started his own business and became the oldest entrepreneur. Starting from scratch, not giving up is the magic weapon to win. Kaifu once told me that his creative workshop has grown from more than 30 employees to more than 100. I believe that the innovation workshop will play a major role in the development of science and technology in China in the next ten or twenty years.

Do extraordinary things with an ordinary attitude

We can have an ordinary mindset, but we must not have an ordinary heart. Our hearts must be great. Our hearts must be long-awaited. Our hearts must try to make themselves as successful as possible. If there is no ordinary mentality, how can Li Kaifu switch from the first class to the economy class, from a five-star hotel to a live hotel chain?

Ordinary mentality is not equal to one's ordinary. The ordinary mentality is not equal to individual mediocrity. The ordinary mentality is because we know that everything needs to be pushed forward, and we need to work hard. Anything that advances must have the courage to take responsibility for failure.

Employment or postgraduate study? There is no good or bad road. If I am still teaching at Peking University, it is not a bad thing. But I have a ambition since I was a child, that is, I traveled all over the world, like a sailor, and traveled across the sea to travel the world.

The ambition is vague, but with the power to take you to a distant place, you always want to cross the horizon and go far, without hesitation, climbing from one mountain to another, this is self-improvement. Once a person has such self-improvement, he will never stop looking for the height of his life, so you will go far, and unconsciously will get out of the distance you can't imagine.

After I came out from Peking University, I was very vague about the future direction, but I love training and love students. Because of my love, I started teaching classes in various institutions. One is to make money, and the other is to learn how to run a training institution. Two years later, I opened New Oriental.

Stick to what you choose

Once you start your own business, remember not to interrupt. After starting New Oriental, I never thought about intervening in other fields. Ten years ago, I had a very good chance of doing real estate, but I don't think it is what I want, because I want more than just money. I want the feeling of doing business. Real estate can only bring me. The opposite feeling.

Maybe the students have doubts and think that things have been done by others, and they have nothing to do. actually not. Although we are talking about innovation, in fact, innovation is very simple, what is innovation? You have to go one step further on what others have done.

Don't care which way to choose, the key is to stick to it. As long as you walk longer than others, you can get out of the distance that others can't, and go farther than others. You can see the scenery that others can't see.

There are only two kinds of animals that reach the top of the pyramid. The first is the eagle, which easily flies to the top of the pyramid with two wings. The second is the snail, and through great efforts, finally climbed to the top of the pyramid. When the snail reaches the top of the pyramid, the world it sees is the same as the eagle. But if the snail and the eagle can not write the memoir of the eagle at the same time, the snail can write a rich memoir, because he has made great hardships every step forward.

There is such a sentence in "Kung Fu Panda". "Nothing is accidental." "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift from God." Every day will become yesterday, every day today. It is the step toward tomorrow.

Essential counter-inverse

I admire Shi Yuzhu, who was once the most famous loser of Chinese entrepreneurs, but a few years later, he successfully ranked among the top 50 Chinese rich. In addition to IQ, the success of life depends on two other factors to achieve perfection, especially emotional intelligence and anti-business, the speed of climbing up faster than the fall, this is the inverse business.

Losing love is not terrible, unemployment is not terrible, we must firmly believe that: the pain you have has been owned by everyone in the world, you have not had more deep pain, the world has long existed. The world can not complain, full of complaints, full of revenge, full of hatred of others can never succeed, the only thing to do is to liberate yourself, emancipate the mind, to compare with yourself, never compare with others, let I grew invisible wings and flew to distant high altitudes.

The last two sentences are for everyone: I believe in your flight, I believe you can find the ideal sky.
