Yu Minhong's inspirational speech: The story of salmon

I think it is more appropriate to use six words to express life, manager, experience, and sublimation.

When I was in Canada, it happened to be the season for salmon to return. The return of salmon is every four years. Why should I return? It has to go back to spawning, reproduce, and after the salmon lay eggs, put the fish in the knife. Under the stone, these fish eggs will be eaten by other fish in the river. When they become small fish, they will be eaten by other fish. In the lake, they will grow for one year. In the middle of the process, they were escaping from the sky, the fish in the water, and the people on the lake constantly salvage, so there is only one left for every four salmon. After one year, these salmon begin to swim to the sea, they have to travel around. A lap in the Pacific Ocean, just three years. In the past three years, their experience has been even more difficult. There are more fierce fish in the ocean, plus a lot of human fishing. So after four years, they will return to the estuary of the river. The ten fish that swim out each time, the remaining one is not there.

What is truly spectacular is that when they reach the estuary and return to the spawning ground, the river is very urgent. They have to go to the upper reaches desperately. When they swim, they can’t stop to eat anything. There is only one way. Twenty-four hours to the upper reaches, because they just came back with the river, and when they swam to their destination, they became red, because all their physical energy was consumed. At the time, the salmon began to fertilize and lay eggs, and both fish died after they had finished their sperm production.

Their life course has brought us shock. It is precisely because of this four-year life cycle that it is because of this sense of mission that their sacrifice touched humanity.

Sometimes, our lives are not as good as a fish, because most people, only one place in their lives, live in a habit, live under the imprisonment of a mind, without any innovation, no creativity, no Any kind of dynamics that motivate one's life and the state of life that touches you. If we have students who can't find a job, you can't find a job is a lucky thing, because you started the real life. Drive the sweet and bitter experience. When you find a job in the future, you will know how hard the job is and how much it is worth cherishing.

Live like grass and live like a tree

There are two kinds of people's lifestyles. The first one is like grass. If you are alive, you still grow every year. But after all, you are a grass. You absorb the sunshine, but it is not big. People can step on it. You, but people don't suffer because of your pain. People don't pity you because you are stepped on, because people don't see you, so each of us should grow like a tree. Even if we don’t have anything now, as long as you plant the seeds of the eucalyptus, even if you are stepped into the middle of the soil, you can still absorb the nutrients of the soil and grow up. Maybe you will not grow up in two or three years, but eight years, ten Years, 20 years, you will be able to grow into a towering tree. When you grow into a towering tree, people can see you in a distant place, come close to you, you can give people a green, a shade, you can help Others, even if people leave you, look back, you are still a beautiful landscape on the horizon, trees, living is a beautiful scenery, dead is still the pillar of the material, it is useful to live and die, Each of our students is the standard of life standards and growth.

Cleaning the opportunities behind the bathroom

I have to interview hundreds of undergraduates every year. Frankly speaking, most people are low-minded, and they want to be the general manager when they come up. They will give him one of the highest wages in the world.

Sometimes, I will try it. I said, "Classmates, all the work you want, I have nothing, but I have two bathrooms that are not cleaned. Would you like to do it?" There is almost no student saying Then I will sweep it. In fact, when he refused to clean the two bathrooms, he lost a very important opportunity. I asked a college graduate to clean the two toilets. It is obviously a test for you. You are When cleaning the bathroom, I will definitely pay attention to your every move. When you really clean the two bathrooms, do you think, can I let you clean the bathroom for a lifetime? At least I will increase your salary, I will let you clean two. After the bathroom is cleaned, I will definitely not let you clean the eight bathrooms. I will consider whether to manage all the logistics personnel who clean the bathroom. You have not naturally changed into Manager? When you manage the cleaning of the bathroom, the whole company's environment becomes pleasing because of your management. You think, I don't refer you to logistics. Director, in this position, who do I mention? If you kill it very vigorously, very good, I will not send you to Harvard University to go to the MBA. Who will I send? When I sent you to Harvard University MBA, you are back, You are not the president of New Oriental, who is it?

When I first started to work in New Oriental, it was very difficult. Why? In a broken coat, I went to the Peking University campus to post advertisements. After the students saw me, what kind of misery was it? And I myself, I used to wear The suits and attire, the style went into the classroom to teach the North University students, but I have never experienced such a pass, I have no entrepreneurial mentality, I will not take away the face of Peking University teachers.

Things you can't stand, but you have to put up with it, and you can't bear it without success.

The most important ability of our future life is called the ability to bear the burden, the things you can't stand, but you have to endure and can't stand it, you can't succeed. When our own life wants to fight for a great goal, You must rule out all the trivial interference in your life. You envision a scene. If you are rolled up on a bicycle by the road, you will fight back. As a result, your nose bones are interrupted and finally lie in the hospital. After a month, your life has been wiped out by the hospital for a month, but if you say it, this is a small matter, I have more important things, you tell him that I am sorry to block the road, and the other side is quite ceremony, he can beat you? you can beat it? he'll talk about my bad, sorry, so a little thing in life to resolve out, and Han people is because the drill crotch, finally Help Liu Bang to lay the world, you have to know that in this world, you can only develop with humiliation and weight, you have to fight for time, fight for space, fight for the future, and fight for time. The most important prerequisite for a future space where you have the ideal, but you dare endures all things that appear unfair to you or what you think things can not stand.

Spirit of water

I have a metaphor. Each river has its own different life curve. Every river has its own dream. It is to go to the sea. When we encounter difficulties, whether it is rushing or going around, as long as we can In the past, I hope that everyone can make their lives flow to their dreams. Like the Yellow River in the Yangtze River, they can flow to the end of their dreams, enter the vast ocean, and open their own business, but it does not mean that you want to flow. It can flow in the past. In fact, there must be a spirit in it. This is the spirit of water. Sometimes our life will be sediment. Although you follow the water all the time, but because of your personality defects, face Difficult legs or timidity, you may slowly think like sediment, and settle down. Once you have settled down, maybe you don't have to work hard to move forward, but you never see the sun. The sand above will keep pressing you, and finally you will be dark, so I will advise everyone, no matter what your life is like, you must have water. The spirit, even if it is polluted, can wash itself, continue its own strength like water, and constantly break through the obstacles. When you find that the time is not enough, you will accumulate your own thickness, when one day comes. You will be able to rush to the sea to achieve your own life.

Self-discipline to succeed

I learned skiing five years ago. I just fell off on a snowy road. Later I found out that I had to learn to stop. There are two kinds of suspensions for skiing. The beginning of skiing is a slogan, but when the slope reaches a certain slope. At the time, this eight-character stop method didn't work. It must be stopped side by side with two skis. I used a whole week to train specifically. When I found out that my stop was very good. I just took the senior road on the skis. I have a friend. He thinks you can go on me. This ski trail is on the hillside and on the other side is a cliff. As a result, his two feet are torn open. The ligament is completely broken. Whenever you have a huge temptation in front of you, if you feel that you can't stop, you should never chase it, because you can't stop the thing and you can't stop it. It is you.

Three-quarters of happiness and happiness in life

When I was walking to the Yellow River, I poured a bottle of water. Everyone knows that the water in the Yellow River is particularly embarrassing. Later I put it on the side of the road. It took about an hour or so. I was very surprised to find that Three-quarters of the bottle of water has become very clear, and only a quarter of it is sedimented. If we say that the water part of this bottle of water is compared to our happiness and happiness, and the muddy sediment If you compare it to our pain, you will understand that when you shake it, your life is full of turbidity, that is, full of pain and trouble, but when you calm down, even though the total amount of sediment is a little There is no reduction, but it is deposited in your heart, because your heart is quiet, so it will never be stirred up, so three-quarters of your life must be happy and happy.

There are two ways people live.

The first way is to live like grass,

Although you are alive, you are still growing every year.

But you are a grass after all,

You absorb the rain and the sun,

But it doesn't grow long.

People can step on you,

But people will not suffer because of your pain;

People don't pity because you are stepped on...
