A book that has been reread three times, every time there is a new harvest

This is the 157th article of Zhishutang. The article is 4250 words long and requires 5-8 minutes of reading time.

Reading can not only change the destiny of people, but also change the way of thinking. The god Buffett is known as the "walking bookshelf", Ma Yun said that he needs time to read. When celebrities impart their own experiences, one of them is to educate everyone to read widely!

is rereading "My Experiences and Lessons" today. What is the difference between this book? The difference is that it has a different author, 苏世民, he is the co-founder of the global private equity giant Blackstone Group, known as: "The new king of Wall Street, American landlord", its management The assets reached 550 billion U.S. dollars!

This book was taken out today to review, and I feel that there are new gains. Schwarzman mentioned the 25 work and life principles he practiced.

1. The difficulty of doing big things and small things is the same . Because both will consume your time and energy, if you are determined to do something, will do great things to ensure that your dream is worth pursuing , the future gains can be worthy of your efforts. So choose a grand goal worth pursuing, and let the rewards match your efforts.

For this point, I am particularly touched by myself, positioning and goals are particularly critical,In many cases, only "we can't think of, we can't do it," think of a way to do it, just like when I was in college, I never thought of going to the United States at all, because the original feeling of the United States was that the United States had gun control. How about the poor security in the United States, but after having a baby, I read a book by Mr. Xue Yong, which mentioned the education in the United States, the overall environment, and the friendliness of children, so I thought at first, why not Try to apply to the United States? So I started to act, collecting information, contacting tutors, preparing for language exams, etc. The middle process was relatively long and tortuous, but in the end I realized my idea.

2. The best executives are not born, but the result of acquired temper. They are tireless and inexhaustible. Be good at researching the people and organizations that have achieved great success in your life. They can provide free tutorials on how to succeed in the real world, which can help you improve yourself.

3. Write or call someone you admire and ask them for advice or an opportunity to meet with them. You never know who wants to meet you. In the end, you will learn a lot of important things from these people and build relationships that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. People you make friends with early in life will form extraordinary emotional bonds with you.

Yesterday I saw a video of Qiao Ann on station B. She tells how she went from a small county to , Yale University , and Wall Street investment bank. At the beginning, she went to participate in a Wall Street investment bank’s salon forum. All she did was financial investment bank masters, and then she felt that she was extremely small, and she simply didn't have the courage to talk to them.

was already at the door when she was planning to leave. She thought to herself why she didn’t go to strike up a conversation, so she mustered up the courage and walked up to a big coffee, introduced herself, and explained My current situation, I want to see when the big coffee is free, I want to meet and chat one-on-one,Unexpectedly, the other party still really agreed, and introduced her to another big man in this field in the industry. This alone allowed this girl to fight for several years and obtain a very important position in Wall Street investment banking.

4. People always think that the most interesting topics are topics related to them. So, be good at analyzing the problems of others and try to come up with ways to help others. Almost everyone, , no matter how prominent his reputation and noble status, is willing to accept new ideas , of course, provided that these ideas must be well thought out.

The more powerful the character, the more imaginary and conceited. I have learned a lot from my own tutor. No matter who it is, he is very willing to absorb, learn from, and learn from my own tutor. If he thinks it is right, he will quickly adopt it. For example, in the past few years, his own body had very good knee discomfort and he suffered from rheumatism and joint pain all the year round. Then I suggested that he go for acupuncture and try Chinese medicine therapy (the previous tutor was actually a firm believer in Western medicine). I really chose to do acupuncture and went to the one I recommended to him. After he did it several times, he said that rheumatism is much better.

5. Every enterprise is a closed integrated system, with unique but interrelated internal components. Good managers not only have insight into how each part operates independently, but also know how to collaborate with each other.

6. Information is the most important business asset . the more you master,The more perspectives you have , the more likely it is to find regular patterns and anomalies in front of competitors. So always keep an open attitude to the new things that enter the company, whether it's new people, new experience, or new knowledge.

PS: The strength of our creativity depends on the breadth and depth of our own knowledge. The broader the knowledge we have, the more opportunities we can innovate in the future.

7. When you are young, please accept work that can provide you with a steep learning curve for and hard training opportunities. The initial job is to lay the foundation for life. Don't take a job lightly for temporary prestige.

8. When presenting yourself, remember that impressions are very important. The overall image must be flawless. Others will use various clues and clues to judge your true face. Therefore, we must maintain punctuality, be true and honest, and be well prepared.

PS: You will never have a second chance to shape your first impression of others. Although we say, don’t judge people by their appearance, but most people judge the other person by perceptual cognition. Are you similar to yourself? In addition, after seeing Wei Zhizhu, a person's attitude to do one thing is actually his attitude to do everything, especially for work.

In the workplace,Leaders only look at the results, they don't ask about the difficulties of the process and excuses for incompleteness. There is a book "Sending a Letter to Garcia" I think it explains this very well.

9. No clever person can solve all problems. An open and honest team of smart people can be profitable.

It is very important to learn to cooperate with different people. In many cases, we need to take the initiative and look at the problem from the other side's perspective.

10. People in trouble often only focus on their own problems, and the way to solve problems usually lies in how you solve other people’s problems.

11. One’s beliefs must go beyond one’s self and personal needs. It can be one’s own company, home country, or service obligation. Any challenge that is inspired by beliefs and core values ​​is worth it. No matter the final result is success or failure.

is still chatting with a friend today. She is currently working as a management in a multinational company. She gave me a good enlightenment that the positioning of is very important. You need to keep exploring inward: you Who is it, what kind of life do you want, where is your direction, and what you do every day is something you truly approve of.

12. Always be black and white, and never return. Your integrity must be unquestionable. When one does not need to pay the price or bear the consequences, is not difficult to insist on doing the right thing .But when you have to give up something, it is difficult to maintain a credit history. Always believe in what you say and don’t mislead anyone for your own benefit.

13. Go forward bravely. Successful entrepreneurs, managers and individuals are all people who have the courage to win and the spirit of indomitable progress. They will do their part at the right moment. When others are cautious, they will accept the risk; when others look forward and backward, they will take action, but they will choose a wise course. This trait is the hallmark of a leader.

14. Never be complacent. Nothing is set in stone. Whether it is an individual or a business, if does not often seek self-remodeling and self-improvement methods, it will be defeated by competitors . Especially the organization, because the organization is more fragile than imagined.

15. Very few people can complete the sale in the first introduction. Just because you have faith in some things, it does not mean that others are willing to accept it. You need to be able to sell your vision firmly time and time again. Most people don't like change, so you need to convince them why they want to accept change. Don't fight for what you want because you are afraid.

PS: Persistence is very important. If you desire one thing enough, even if there are no conditions, you will always find a way to achieve what you want. As long as you work hard, as long as you persist,It will become impossible and possible , and it will work naturally.

16. If you see a huge transformative opportunity, don't doubt why others have not taken action. You may have seen things that others have not seen. The more severe the problem, the more limited the competition, and the greater the return to the problem solver.

17. In the final analysis, success means seizing a few opportunities. Always keep an open mind, observe calmly, be highly alert, and be ready to seize opportunities at any time. It is necessary to coordinate the appropriate human and other resources, and then go all out. If you are not ready to do your best, either because this opportunity is not as attractive as you think, or because you are not the right person to take this opportunity.

18. Time will have a negative impact on all transactions, sometimes even fatal. In general, the longer waits, the more unexpected things will happen. Especially in difficult negotiations, should let everyone negotiate at the negotiating table for a long enough time to reach an agreement.

19 Don’t lose money! ! ! Evaluate the risk of each opportunity objectively.

20. Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure.Or for personal purposes, or because of internal political struggles, or because of some external needs, others will always urge you to make decisions. But almost every time you can say: "I need more time to think about this issue. I will reply to you after I think it through." Even in the most difficult and unpleasant situations, this strategy is very efficient.

21. Worry is a positive mental activity that can broaden people's thinking. If you can properly guide this sentiment, you can gain insight into the negative risks in any situation and take actions to avoid these risks.

22. Failure is a teacher with the best organization. Talk about failure openly and objectively, analyze the problem, and you will learn new rules about decision-making and organizational behavior from failure. If assessed properly, failure can change the course of an organization and make it more successful in the future.

In our culture, in fact, tolerance for failure is not enough. Why Silicon Valley can succeed is because Silicon Valley has a culture of welcoming failure, tolerating failure, and encouraging mistakes.

23. Hire 10 talents as much as possible, because they will proactively perceive problems, design solutions, and develop business in new directions . They will also attract and hire other 10 talents. 10 points talents will do everything well.

I have taken a course "Excellent Quality Management" before. In fact, I feel that whether it is entrepreneurial or life, the essence of wanting to stand out is to strive for excellence and achieve the ultimate, especially in subdivided vertical fields. Some time ago I heard the entrepreneurial sharing of the founder of SPANX in the United States,She mentioned that their company never spends a penny on advertising. They put these funds and energy into polishing their products, and the products themselves are the best "marketing" advertisements.

They haven't spent a cent on celebrity endorsement fees. Many celebrities include Oprah . Robin Roberts has stated in many public occasions that their products are particularly easy to use, and good products can speak for themselves.

The pursuit of excellence is a common feature of many successful people: "People who pursue excellence are often passionate about learning and diligent. They are good at asking questions and thinking diligently. They can keenly capture the connection between ideas and never miss their hands.

Many people often complain that they cannot make money, are not good enough, and are not successful enough. They always find the reason that they are bad luck, bad family background, etc. Is this the main problem? No, the real problem is that they are not passionate about learning. They are not people who pursue excellence. Many of them would rather play on the phone for a day than read a book, and this is the root of their failure!

24. If you think that a person's nature is good, you must always help that person, even if everyone else leaves him . Anyone can get into trouble. When others need it, an accidental act of kindness will change his life trajectory and create unexpected friendship or loyalty.

25. Everyone has a dream. Do your best to help others achieve their goals.

Wanzhong Innovation,In the tide of mass entrepreneurship, many young people have entrepreneurial ideas and enthusiasm for action. In this book, Schwarzman also mentioned three basic tests for entrepreneurship. The service should be unique and the timing must be correct . In addition, an important conclusion of entrepreneurship is that the difficulty of creating and operating a small business is almost the same as that of a large enterprise. The entrepreneurship of an enterprise, regardless of its scale, has a process from scratch, and you will also bear the same economic burden and Psychological pressure. It is equally difficult to raise funds and find the right talent. In the face of the same difficulties and pressures, the only way to ensure the success of the business is to devote yourself to it.

In short, education is a ladder to a better life, and a good education can improve the life of the educated. Each of us has the responsibility not only to learn and pass on knowledge, but also to improve and develop knowledge, so that knowledge is more useful and influential for future generations.
