Yu's Speech at Tongji University: Living a Meaningful Life (Part II) Time: July 0, 2009123: 34 Source: Excerpt from this website Author: Yu Click: 1938 There are two states in starting a business. The first one is starting from scratch, and I started from scratch myself, and Ma Yun also started from scratch. The second kind of entrepreneurship is like Yang's, which is also regarded as entrepreneurship. Yang succeeded Liu Chuanzhi's class and finally became Lenovo's boss. Jett Wilson, a famous American management scientist and entrepreneur, also started as an ordinary worker and worked as a company boss for 20 years. In the position of company boss

And your present situation does not depend on your future. When I was in Peking University, I was hit hard. First of all, my identity is very different. Indeed, I walked into the campus wearing a big blindfold. Our PE teacher never calls my name in class, but asks Patch to do an action. Because I have exercised in the countryside and my jumping movements are quite good, I am often called out to demonstrate.

On the first night of school, the whole class held a class meeting, and I got up and said a word. Now Wang Qiang, the teacher of New Oriental, is the monitor of our class. Stand up and tell me if you can speak Japanese. Because I have been studying in the countryside, our Chinese teacher has never taught us in Mandarin. I didn't know how to speak Mandarin at that time. At that time, Peking University was divided into classes according to English scores. At that time, I was assigned to Class A because of my good grades in the college entrance examination. In fact, my listening and speaking level is not good, so I was demoted to Class C a month later, and Class C was mainly aimed at those students with pronunciation, intonation and hearing difficulties. Later, I found that there was really a gap between my IQ and that of my classmates. My classmates usually don't study hard. How can they get good grades in the final exam? I study two or three hours more than them every day, but every time I take the final exam, I am at the bottom of my class. This makes me feel depressed.

There were 50 students, 25 boys and 25 girls in our class at that time. I was very excited when I heard this number at first, but I didn't expect that none of the girls in our class had really looked at me. In 200 1 year, our whole class gets together and everyone comes back from all over the world. Looking back suddenly, I suddenly found that the person in the class was quite worthless and could not speak Mandarin well. How do unknown people become the best in their classes? At this time, the female classmate enthusiastically came up and took my hand, regretting that she didn't do it.

So later, college girls asked me, Teacher Yu, what criteria do we need to find a boyfriend now? When I say simple, I mean my appearance. Of course, if you look like me, you must not let go. Don't let anyone who looks uglier than me go, because the law of this world is that the uglier the person, the richer the connotation.

My favorite reading in junior year is Dream of Red Mansions, and I happened to read the chapter in which Lin Daiyu coughed and died. As a result, I also vomited blood. When I went to the hospital, the doctor locked me up as soon as he found out that he had tuberculosis, and it was a year. I told the doctor how young people like me got tuberculosis. The doctor asked me to talk about the present situation. I said, you see, I study hard, but my grades just can't get up. No girl in our class likes me. He said that in this case, it is completely impossible to avoid tuberculosis.

But this disease also brought me psychological adjustment, because I was in my freshman or sophomore year, and trying to catch up with my classmates was my spiritual pillar. But in the third grade, I was ill for a year, and I completely changed. It feels good to be alive. Then I set myself a minimum standard, at least to ensure that I get a diploma after graduating from college, and finally the state will assign me a job. Although I didn't give up my efforts, I finally became more open-minded. So, up to now, I have learned never to compare, because there are always better than you, and there are always more backward than you.

The most correct thing in this world is to compare yourself and think about whether today is better than yesterday and whether next year is better than this year. Think about it. Are you better after 10 years than you are this year? This mentality was maintained until I graduated from college.

After graduating from college, everyone will go up and talk about how to spend the rest of their lives, so I went up and talked about this: I said, my classmates are all very powerful. I have been chasing everyone for five years, but please remember that students who play camels in the future will definitely not give up. I did what you did in 10 for five years and what you did in 10. This is my personal attitude towards life, and I think this attitude towards life is very effective for me.

Someone asked me, what should I do without New Oriental? In fact, New Oriental will disappear sooner or later, because it is already a commercial educational institution. Think about it. We saw a message the other day. GE is a symbol of America, so isn't it on the verge of bankruptcy? New Oriental may be like this in the future, becoming a trace of history. But I think I am very successful even without New Oriental, because my mentality is very successful. My longing for life and my desire to cross the horizon will not change. I think what New Oriental has given me is a kind of spirit and strength, not how much money New Oriental itself has brought me. Of course, if New Oriental gives me more money, I am willing to take it. If I don't want money, I am a fool. But more importantly, can you do something more meaningful with money? For example, I have always wanted to be a small private university. Maybe I can't be as big as Tongji, but it's always possible to have one tenth of it, right? I bought a piece of land in Beijing and am building a university campus. After completion, it will be decoupled from the listed companies in New Oriental and become a non-profit university campus. Then it may become another thing you do.

How to enrich your life is the most important thing, so it is normal that New Oriental will not exist one day. If New Oriental is gone, I will still come to give you a lecture, and my mood will be more cheerful. Because there is nothing more complicated. I just need to change the subject. Today is called "Living Meaningfully", and next time I will change it to "How did I make New Oriental disappear".

In college, we should do several things well: first, make our knowledge structure complete; Second, make as many friends as possible in the university, because your lifelong friends and collaborators must come from your university; Third, if possible, talk about a single-minded love in college, because looking back at my life in Peking University is gray. I wonder why it is gray. In fact, it's not because of my poor grades, but because I haven't spent time in college for five years. So it has always been my regret in college. Last year, when Peking University asked me to give the opening ceremony to all the freshmen of Peking University, I stressed to them that nothing is important, but it is important to fall in love. You don't have to be afraid of failure in falling in love, because suicide can't kill you. The unnamed lake is so shallow that you can get up if you jump off. Fourth, do a good job in future work planning. Your future work is related to how many friends you have and how much professional knowledge you have learned. Master your major, even the worst major will be used, as long as you learn it well.

I have a friend who studies Vietnamese. Vietnamese is really rarely used, but all central leaders should look for him when they go to Vietnam, because he is a first-class expert in simultaneous translation of Vietnamese. I also have a college classmate, Chiang Kai-shek, who studied 10 years, who is poor. But then he went to the United States to give a report, and the United States helped him hold a seminar on modern China figures. He described his research in his report, and as a result, an old professor burst into tears. After coming down, I asked, this old professor has also studied Chiang Kai-shek in the United States for 30 years. He was lonely, but he couldn't find another person who studied Chiang Kai-shek. I did not expect a "fool" to study Chiang Kai-shek. So he paid $50,000 a year for his classmates to follow him to the United States for graduate studies, and then to study for four years as a doctor. After reading the book, the old man retired and became a professor in that school. When I went to see him, he had bought a small house, a car, a wife and a dog in new york. At that time, he told me, Yu, look, Chiang Kai-shek gave it all to me.

What do I want to illustrate with this example? It doesn't matter what you learn. What matters is that as long as you really like it, do it, and then someone will use you. On the other hand, if you think this major is suitable for me to find a job, but you don't like it very much, do you want to learn it? Of course I want to learn. I have never liked English in this state. I took the English exam only because I am not good at math. I don't like English because my imitation ability is not strong. My monitor Wang Qiang can imitate anything perfectly. I spent a year practicing Mandarin, and only then did I get understood by everyone. My wife is from Tianjin. When she quarreled with me, she scolded me in Tianjin dialect, but I can only speak Tianjin dialect so far. It was when she picked up a stick and hit me that I yelled at her, "What?" (Tianjin dialect).

But then I found that English has become a tool in my life. Because of English, I became a teacher at Peking University. In fact, when I was in Peking University, my grades were not very good, just CET-4 and CET-6. Students in all departments of Peking University have to study English for two years, and as a result, Peking University is in urgent need of teachers. Moreover, some outstanding graduates have gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Relations and Trade, and their salaries are also high. Later, our dean was anxious to say that the last five students would stay for me. The five people who stayed behind have now become doctoral supervisors, which shows the quality of education in Peking University. Of course, this is a joke. Later, through their own efforts, they passed many exams and became excellent teachers.

Do you care about trekking poles when climbing mountains? Do you like them? No, what you care about is whether you can reach the top of the mountain. Then English is my trekking stick. Although I don't particularly like it, I know that I need this trekking stick if I want to climb a higher mountain of life. Originally, I wanted to turn myself into a top English expert in China. Later, I found that there was no chance at all, because more and more China students returned to China, and some of them stayed abroad for 10 or 20 years, and their English level was higher than mine. Then I can only narrow down the scope and want to become an expert in English grammar. Later, I found that memorizing words didn't require brains, so I began to memorize words desperately. As a result, I became a fairly good vocabulary expert in China.

In addition to studying majors, students should study more in college. People in New Oriental read a lot. Reading more books means broadening your horizons, thinking more and innovating more. There is a saying in New Oriental that "the thickness of the inside story determines the height of the cause". The thickness of the background mainly comes from two aspects: first, read more books, your knowledge structure will naturally be complete, and you will produce wisdom; Second, there are many life experiences. Combining the wisdom of life experience with the wisdom of reading will become real great wisdom and an inexhaustible source and tool for your future career creation.

For example, I interviewed all the people in New Oriental who were looking for important positions. I just have a few questions. First, how many books did you study in college? If you say that you have only read dozens of books, I definitely don't want you. The minimum standard in my mind is 200 books, and the university has read 800 books. Wang Qiang, a more prosperous teacher in New Oriental, read 1 200 books in college, one book a day on average. Someone will ask me, what's the difference between reading and forgetting? Actually, it's completely different. Just like you fall in love, a person who has been in love and then becomes a bachelor is more confident than a bachelor. Because when he sees someone else in love, he will be there. "Hey, I think I was in love." It's too late to read now. You can go to the bookstore to look at those books, remember those names and touch them with your hands, which will also add a little humanistic temperament.

I have an idea that people should live a poetic life. How often do we stop to look at the moon and go to Inner Mongolia to look at the stars in the sky during the holiday? How many students feel the surge of life when watching the sunrise and sunset? Of course, we must also practice it. In college, there was a very famous poet named Haizi. He wrote a famous poem "Facing the sea, flowers bloom in spring". Unfortunately, he failed to resist the pressure of the real society and committed suicide by lying on the track. Therefore, we say that a person can not only express poetry with language, but also express poetry with reality. So you must overcome obstacles and setbacks in reality. There is a poem called "the desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen." I have a very deep feeling about "the long river sets the yen", but I have no idea about "the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight". Therefore, the first thing to do after entering Peking University is to go to the desert, the Gobi desert and the prairie. Today, these places have become my spiritual home. If there is anything difficult in my life, I will go riding in Mongolian grassland with herders. Herdsmen once said that among the Han people, I have never seen such a desperate person as you.

Back to the poetic life, playing games on MSN in college is not a poetic life, but reading a book in bed and then falling asleep slowly is a poetic life. We should pay attention to current affairs and politics and grasp some world events. This ability will play a great role in the process of starting a business in the future. Another thing is to make as many friends as possible. To make friends, first of all, you should be a good person, and you should be a reassuring person. This is the current business situation in China. If you are a kind person, someone will help you when you are in trouble. For example, Niu Gensheng of Mengniu, everyone has heard that he is very honest in dealing with people. So after Mengniu's accident, he needed funds. All we have to do is make a phone call and we will remit the money. Why don't we sign a contract for him? The reason is simple, trust.

I've been in this situation. In 2003, when we met SARS, we immediately refunded the students' tuition fees, and the liquidity of New Oriental disappeared at once. At that time, I calculated that there was still a deficit of 20 million in the account. So I called two friends separately, and each of them got it done that night,10 million. Therefore, you will get more benefits from being a person who makes others believe than being a person who makes others guard against you. To establish this kind of trust, we must do the following elements: take others as the center, not ourselves as the center; Have the spirit of service.

At that time, my college classmates thought I was worthless, but why did they come back to start a business with me? This has something to do with my behavior in college. I am a person who doesn't study well in college but likes to help others. Our dormitory never arranged students on duty at that time, because I swept all the floors. Also, I basically pumped all the water in the dormitory. Later, they gave up the superior conditions abroad to start a business with me, which was related to my fetching water in the dormitory at that time. A few years later, I went to those college classmates, and they said, a loser like you has made money in China, how can you come back? The second reason is that we know you are a very good person. You won't give us porridge if you have rice, and porridge won't let us starve to death, so you came back. Therefore, a person who doesn't even have a friend after graduating from college can hardly succeed in this life.

Also, in college, you should make friends with some people who can really help you. For example, your mind is wider than yours, and your eyes are sharper than yours. This is the kind of friend I made in college. To be a man, you have to follow the cow. For example, Mr Wang Qiang has a genius, which I can't learn. He likes reading. As soon as he enters the university, he will divide his living expenses into two parts, one for books and the other for meal tickets. After eating the meal ticket, he will never use the money to buy books again. He would rather steal someone else's meal ticket. I think this habit is very good. I will also be divided into two parts. After eating the meal ticket, I will steal his. Every weekend, we go to buy books. I don't know what to buy, so I'll buy whatever he buys. He was annoyed by me and asked if you could follow me. I said that you are my monitor and have the responsibility to help underachievers. In fact, I know he wants to kick me out, because he was the object pursued by girls in our class at that time. If I don't follow him, he will take the girls out to buy books. I saw through his plot at that time. So far, my reading teacher is Wang Qiang. His library is close to 60,000 volumes. Whenever he sees a good and cheap book, he will buy it for me. If they are expensive, he will send me a message to buy them myself.

I will read it until now. Because whenever they get together and talk about good books, once I haven't read them, they will say, "You didn't study hard in college, why are you still like this?" Therefore, the most important reason why our reading atmosphere is very strong is Wang Qiang, and you need such friends very much. And Mr. Xu Xiaoping. I think this teacher is excellent in college and I really want to know him. A week later, I bought him a small pen and knocked on his door. He asked me, who are you? I said, I am your student, and I am very moved by your class, so I want to make friends with you. This is a small gift for you. Xu Xiaoping let me in as soon as he saw that I had a gift in my hand. When he came in, he found a large group of young teachers there. It turns out that he has a habit of inviting a group of teachers to his house to chat every Friday night. Of course, I'd love to hear it. Ask me if I can stay and listen. He said no, we are talking about men and women. Innocent teenagers like you will be polluted. Fortunately, I'm quick-witted, xu teacher. I just need this kind of enlightenment education. Opportunities are always discovered by yourself. I found no one to boil water for them, so I helped them cook instant noodles. I went for four weeks in a row and stopped going for the fifth week. Why not go? Not because I'm bored, but because I think a person must show his importance when he should show it. Sure enough, Xu Xiaoping called and said, Why don't you come over? I know it's not that I can't live without them, but that they can't live without me. Since then, I have been listening to them chatting for a year. When I founded New Oriental, the first restaurant I went to was Xu Xiaoping Restaurant. I told him that there is no shortage of English teachers and thoughtful people in New Oriental, so I hope you can go back and manage the ideas in New Oriental. So another thing to do in college is to make friends and make yourself a trustworthy person.

And if you can talk about a love, it is still very good. But a very important prerequisite for falling in love is wholeheartedly love. The so-called heart-and-soul love does not mean that you can only talk about love once in college, but only one at a time. How much do you want to love? There is a feeling, "why are my eyes full of tears?" Because I love you deeply. "

The second element is that when you really love someone, you should tell him that you love him in an appropriate way, not just in your heart. I fell in love with many girls in college, but I kept it in my heart because I was afraid of being rejected by others. But in fact, people's pursuit can best be expressed. Even if the girl refuses, she will definitely write in her diary that "there are boys chasing me again today." I went to America one year and had dinner with a girl I liked very much in my former class. She and her husband had dinner with me. I told her at dinner that I actually had a crush on you in college. She patted her thigh and said, then why didn't you tell me?

The third is to be generous. The so-called generosity means that when another person falls in love with others, he must be generous and say that your happiness is my happiness and your happiness is my happiness. I always feel that people are predestined friends in the world. If no one loves you in college, there will always be someone who loves you in your later years, waiting for your hand in hand in the future journey.

I am a person who loves life very much. You can't even walk on ants. I want to step on male and female ants. What should I do? I dare not even eat fish. I think how painful it will be to eat that female fish, so I usually eat two instead of fish. Of course, love in college is a process. No matter graduate students or undergraduates, there are far fewer people who really get married after graduation than those who fall in love. For example, more than a dozen couples in our class fell in love, married three couples after graduating from college and divorced two couples two years later. There is only one couple left, that is, my college classmate Mr. Wang Qiang and his wife. The two of them still live a happy life.

Then it doesn't matter if you are not satisfied with the love in college. Just look at me. Many people think I am abnormal, but I still got married, found my beloved, had children and had a better family. In a word, life is so beautiful. Go ahead. There are ordinary, wonderful, long nights and beautiful days. This is our life.

There is also the problem of work. The problem of work is a relatively simple one. I believe that Tongji University students will not have much difficulty in finding jobs, but some students asked me if I want to start a business. It must be a very bad thing not to start a business once in your life. People have to do something for themselves all their lives, and starting a business is what they do for themselves. Everyone does a job together, and you don't have to start a business after graduating from college. Why? Because starting a business requires experience and many preconditions.

First, the application of your professional knowledge in your business; Second, I can get along with my classmates and friends and have the ability to distribute benefits; Third, you should have the ability to deal with such a complicated situation in China society; Fourth, you should have basic business operation principles or business operation knowledge; Fifth, be a leader; Sixth, we should have our own operational knowledge and professional knowledge.

For example, if you want to run a training school, where does your operational knowledge come from? This operational knowledge requires you to observe how others do it. If I come directly from Peking University to become New Oriental, I can never do it. I have two premises to be a New Oriental. First, I worked as a teacher in Peking University for six years, so I did a good job as a teacher. There is a second premise. Before I became New Oriental, I worked in another training institution for nearly three years, and I was observing how it was done. I met many people who failed to start a business in college. I said, why don't you start a business? They say that as long as there is an interest relationship between classmates, they all "shit" each other. Right? Yes, but if you can handle it well, it won't be "bullshit" I also have interests with these friends in New Oriental, but won't I just take care of it? So the key now is to consider whether there are such skills. To start a business, I encourage students to go to a certain industry for at least one or two years, preferably three or four years, to gradually accumulate their talents and gradually become mature and stable. Finally, the chances of business failure are much smaller.

Entrepreneurship has two states. The first is to start from scratch. I started from scratch myself, and so did Ma Yun. The second kind of entrepreneurship is like Yang's, which is also regarded as entrepreneurship. Yang succeeded Liu Chuanzhi's class and finally became Lenovo's boss. Jett Wilson, a famous American management scientist and entrepreneur, also started as an ordinary worker and worked as a company boss for 20 years. Being the boss of the company for 20 years has turned the company into the largest company in the world. This is also starting a business, and you don't have to do it yourself.

Some students asked, Teacher Yu, how can I make a training institution as big as you? It's easy to clean up before coming to New Oriental. If you clean it up, then I will promote you to Minister of Health. If your health minister does a good job, you will become the logistics director of New Oriental. When you become the logistics director of New Oriental, I will send you to Harvard University to study. When you come back from school, I will give you all the logistics administration, and you will be the logistics chief. who is it? Second place. You will become president after I die, right? Therefore, our maturity comes slowly, just like a tree growing slowly. How can I suddenly become a successful entrepreneur? Although there are still some such people, they are also a minority. I started my business at the age of 32, and I didn't have New Oriental until I was 32. So don't worry, it doesn't matter how much you do in this life.

Still my old saying: live a wonderful life. My metaphor is the metaphor of a big tree and grass, and there is another metaphor: human life is like a stream, and there is always a dream-flowing into the sea. Some people have never flowed to the sea all their lives, and this river is incomplete. The Yangtze River flows to the sea and the Yellow River flows to the sea, but the Yangtze River and the Yellow River flow to the sea in different ways. The Yangtze River cuts mountains and splits stones into the sea, while the Yellow River does not cut mountains and splits stones, bypassing the nine bends and eighteen bends. But in any case, the ultimate goal of life is the same. The only thing we have to remember is that we should keep flowing forward like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, instead of turning into sediment in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and finally settling down by ourselves, and life will be gone. In short, a wonderful life depends only on yourself, not on others. There was never a savior. If you want to live a wonderful and happy life, you can only rely on the joint efforts of every friend around you
