Write a couplet slogan for entrepreneurs

1. The secret of Li Ka-shing's success: build yourself and pursue selflessness.

As a business giant in the Chinese-speaking world, Li Ka-shing has been at the forefront of entrepreneurship for more than 70 years and has never failed. Let many business leaders worship the top of the film. Successful entrepreneurs such as Alibaba's Jack Ma and Mengniu's Niu Gensheng once visited Li Ka-shing in Hongkong headquarters and asked him what was the secret of his success. At that time, Li Ka-shing replied: Personally, there are only eight words, that is, self-building and selflessness.

Ma Yun's understanding of Li Ka-shing's eight words is: build yourself and don't lose your way; Pursuing the absence of self, let yourself return to the original and plain.

2. Secret source: Zuo peerless couplet

However, the origin of these eight words has always been an unsolved mystery. It was not until a reporter interviewed Li Ka-shing that the source was revealed. It turns out that these eight words come from a couplet written by a veritable national hero and Confucian general Zuo in Wuxi Meiyuan, Jiangsu Province:

Make a first-class wish, make a first-class fate, and enjoy a first-class blessing;

Choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live, and then walk to a wide place.

Zuo did not leave so many famous sayings and letters home as Zeng Guofan did. Although few and quiet, it was highly praised by Li Ka-shing, Rong Desheng, Ma Yun and others! In particular, Li Ka-shing said that these 24 words condensed profound philosophy of life, while Li Ka-shing regarded them as the source of his own life creed and his own eight-word business secrets.

3. aim high and do great things, and ordinary people enjoy themselves and enjoy small blessings.

Shanglian means to be ambitious, just seeking a moderate fate and living an ordinary life.

"To aim high" means to have lofty aspirations and compassion for others;

"moderate knot" means adhering to the doctrine of the mean and pursuing perfection;

"Enjoy inferior happiness" is to enjoy the real happiness of life and appreciate the true meaning of life.

The bottom line means seeing things with foresight, keeping a low profile and leaving room for things.

Only by "choosing a high position" can we be far-sighted;

"Find a flat place to live" can eliminate disasters;

"Open your mind" can be unimpeded.

It can be said that Li Ka-shing took China's golden mean to the extreme: he was determined to do great things, but he had to keep a low profile; Be ambitious, but don't enjoy great happiness. Only by leaving room for people to do things, can we remain in a state of shock when encountering complex contradictions and emergencies, and can we achieve our career and keep it.

As an entrepreneur, we must learn this mode of being a man and doing things in the early stage of our business, so that we can make continuous progress and make our career bigger and bigger.
