You must have read Jim Collins's book "from A to a +", but you may not know that he is a fearless leader and has 30 years of experience in rock climbing, let him experience many leadership philosophy and wisdom in life. My life and work attitude have been closely linked to my experience in mountain climbing for thirty years. I am in the mayor of POD, Colorado, where the world's best rock climbing locations and the most amazing rock climbing experts are available. When I was a teenager, my stepdad registered for Rock Climbing training for me. I am not satisfied with this question: "I would rather read .」 As a result, on the first day of the course, I knew that I had found my favorite activity in my life. For me, rock climbing is the ultimate classroom, and we can find the inspiration at every level of life. This kind of exercise usually does not give the wrong person a second chance-Death ends learning. But I am lucky to survive from errors and learn many useful inspirations. I insisted on crawling up and would rather not fall down than fail. My friend Matt and I stopped over the winding road and stood in front of a magnificent ROCK: a smooth, slightly suspended silver-white granite wall, A thin slit of the fingertip size passes through the middle. 「 You see, that's why I call this route a crystal ball, 」 Matt pointed to a quartile rock on the top of the rock wall, 50 feet away from us, a baseball-sized rock grip. We threw a rope up, and I began to climb, hoping to come to "on-sight", which means that without any route information, after the first climb, the climb was completed successfully, and the climb did not fall. There is only one chance for the first person to climb the topic. If they are screwed up, they will no longer be called the first climb. First climb-the fear of the challenge climbers is still 10 feet away from the crystal ball. My feet started to be unstable and many small stones were kicked. I bent my thumb and hooked up a raised rock wall with my hands. I had only one thought in my heart: "It would be better to reduce the weight of my fingers a little bit .......」 I was so excited that I had to put more pressure on it. Every rock point was too hard, just like a runners who were too nervous, and the sprint was too fast. 「 Take a deep breath, Jim, you want to relax, 」 Matt's voice made me feel a little calm. I slowly relaxed my fingers and adjusted my breath, but my mind was still tumble. "If something goes wrong, I will never have a chance again ......, However, even if this step is correct, I still cannot grasp enough strength to climb to the crystal ball ......, If you cannot reach it, you cannot mount the rope into the next protection point to fix it ..., How far should I fall ?......」 In doubt, the time was lost at 1 minute 1 second. 「 Okay, Matt, I'm leaving .」 Draw the Right Hand horizontally and move the left foot to the wall margin. Sorry, I should use my left hand to grab the wall. I moved my body to the left and wanted to grab any raised rock wall or stone so that my right hand could move up quickly, use the left hand to capture the wall. I pressed my right hand finger on a down rock corner, but this angle was hard to pull. In front of me, my chances of success are less than 20%: if I continue to do so, it will inevitably fall, and the fall will be thirty feet; even if I can climb up, without the protection of another rock bolt holding the rope, the higher the climb, the deeper the fall. 「 Drop !」 I shouted at Matt. 「 No !」 He shouted, "You only have three groups of actions to go to the crystal ball. You must have done it !」「 Drop !」 I shouted again. After that, I lost my hand and managed to fall down along the rope. I hung on the rope for about ten minutes, gradually recovered my physical strength, and then moved to the rock wall. This time I grabbed every grip and climbed to the top of the mountain. Of course, this is not the first climb. Although one day later, I once again challenged the route and climbed down to the top of the attack, but no matter how successful this time, I knew that I still failed. Instead of losing in action, it is losing in mind. Because, at the moment I should do my best, I just gave up. I actually chose failure instead of fallure ). Fallure = failure and fall. The difference between the two is subtle, but significant. When you fall, you never give up even though you cannot attack the top of the hill. If you fail, your heart has given up. It means you have made every effort to climb up-even if the chances of success are less than 20%, 10%, or even 5%. You do not have to keep your mind and physical strength. You will never make excuses for yourself. Even if you are afraid, miserable, and uncertain, you still need to perform a performance. For the onlookers, failure and fall seem no different (both fall from the air). However, the internal experience of falling is completely different from failure. We can discover our true limits only when we choose to drop, rather than fail. Yes, I only have less than 20% chance to climb to the crystal ball, but because I chose to give up, I can no longer determine what the actual result will be. Maybe I can make other skills, maybe I have the strength to do more actions, or, as I later found, the next grip is actually very easy to grasp. It's hard here. You don't know how difficult or easy it is to grasp the next grip during the first climb (or life) process. It is also the ambiguity that makes it difficult for people to make full investment. If you don't try, you will never know the limit. One Of My Life mentors, Sara little Turnbull, the design master, once sent me a wall-mounted ticket saying, "If you don't have the power to try it, you don't know where the limit is. "dempur, who was over years old, is the founder of the" change process lab "at the Stanford University Business School, she is famous for being a design consultant for big companies such as Coca-Cola, Corning, Pfizer, 3 M, and rich auto. She is described as "CEO's secret weapon for product design and development 」. She told me that some of her best design concepts were born when she was about to fail but refused to give up. Of course, most of the designs that are about to fail finally fail. But there is always one time, because she refused to give up, and she pushed herself to a completely different new realm, with extraordinary ideas being created. "This is a breakthrough," she said. "You must go to the edge of failure and inspire yourself to stick to it. Then, you will go out of a different realm .」 These years of research into outstanding enterprises have showed me how the best leaders instinctively understand this truth. For example, Smith, chief executive of bury Clark, made a key decision to help the company jump to excellence in the face of the "Drop vs. Failure" decision. Leaders should have the courage to face the fall. Smith knows that the weak Cadbury must change his face, and the best opportunity is in the consumption of paper. In order to show his determination, he vowed not to turn back. He decided to sell all the traditional industrial paper mills, and then put the funds into paper consumption, and face the enemy of Shi Gu, Bao alkali and so on. Wall Street laughed at him and the financial media was not optimistic, but in the end, Cadbury turned into a leading global consumer paper manufacturer. Smith knows that the only path to success lies in making every effort to leave without giving up. Now, I think of life as a series of choices that fall or fail. Like shoupan, the next grip of life is often vague and difficult to identify. This ambiguity makes us retreat and cannot go all out, so we admit defeat in our hearts and let us lose our hands, we would rather control the local area and climb up without the risk of falling deeper. However, whether it's about creating a new business, publishing a new book, or trying a new design, a rare fall means destruction. The most important thing is that the only way to discover the true limits of yourself is to bravely fall, rather than fail (go to fallure, not failure ). When I was forty-five years old, I grabbed the stone and pulled it up. It was no longer as powerful as I was when I was twenty years old. However, over the years, I have learned that the loss of physical strength can be strengthened by the increase of mental strength. So I continued to walk between the walls of the mountain, looking for opportunities to fall. It's not about conquering rocks, but about conquering myself. I even redefined the conditions for "success"-I don't have to climb to the top. What's important is whether I am fully engaged. On my last rock climbing trip, I did not have a route to successfully reach the summit, but it was one of my most successful experiences in rock climbing, because every attempt was brave enough to climb up and down. On the way home, I was very happy. On that day, my mind was strong, not as weak as most days. Because it is not to conquer rocks, but to conquer ourselves. This is exactly why we have to climb down. Risk estimation: distinguish between probability and consequence. It is not brave but foolish to let yourself fall. You must correctly estimate risks, distinguish between probability and consequence, this is also the key to success for all entrepreneurs and leaders ....... How to understand the real risks, achieve success and save your life, but sometimes let yourself fall down, not only not brave, but stupid. In the summer of 1975, a young rock climbing house named Dawei buweixi went to the cliff in the Southern Mountainous Area of pode city, a beautiful rock that no one climbed. There have not been any good leader in this area for many years to climb. The main reason is that it is not difficult, but it lacks natural protection points on the rock wall. Bu Weixi can not see any split shards can be inserted into the fixed rock wedge, saw the cliff first vertical rise about five layers of high, full of gravel and acute angle, and then backward slightly reduced to 85 degrees of rock wall, there seems to be a big grip on it. Buvisi began to climb up, with a rope hanging, carrying a small amount of rock wedge. When he climbed to 50 feet, he found in a panic that the rock wall above was actually more difficult to climb than below, and there was almost no split of rock wedge. After thousands of years of rain and water washing, the rock surface was smooth and smooth, and the grip point could not find the force angle. Once it falls, he will fall 60 feet straight and fall onto a pile of rock on the ground, killing him on the spot. Isn't this a dangerous situation? It depends on how you define "danger. For buvisi, This is not dangerous. Of course, the consequences of the fall are very serious, but the possibility of his fall is almost zero. Because buvisi was a rock-climbing genius at its peak, this route was like a puzzle that made him really want to solve, but it was not very difficult. If buvisi makes it possible to break the cliff in his mind, he may have been killed, but he did not, because he can distinguish the possibility of falling to the cliff from the consequences of falling to the cliff, in addition, he climbed to the top with a focus on precision and successfully created a new route named "thrilling journey 」. The distinction between probability and consequence is not only applicable to rock climbing, but also for work, life, and enterprise. In 1994, Intel first discovered the floating point splitter of the Pentium chip. Due to a small design flaw, Intel caused a slight error in Division operations, which is equivalent to a typical spreadsheet user who used 20 thousand million RMB in 7000, A division error occurs. With such a small error rate, Intel's leaders ignored the costly consequences. A mathematics professor encountered an error when calculating complex problems. This incident quickly spread over the network, attracting media attention. In his book "times faster", Intel's Chief Executive Officer Ge ROV described that his company was chased by CNN and ridiculed by the financial media. He was even more shocked by unsatisfied customers. One morning, Gorov saw the terrible Newspaper title: "IBM decided to stop selling all Pentium computers 」. Finally, Intel was forced to spend $0.4 billion to remedy the problem, equivalent to the company's half-year R & D budget or 5-year Pentium advertising spending. Correctly distinguishing probability and consequence is the key to success for entrepreneurs. When I teach at the Institute of Business Science at Stanford University, many students have limited their choices because they cannot grasp the differences. A student ran to my office and said, "I really want to start a business, but it is so risky to start a business that I still went to work in IBM .」「 What will happen if you do your best to start your own business but unfortunately fail ?」「 I am still looking for a job, 」 she thought about it. 「 Is it difficult for you to find a job ?」「 It's not that difficult .」「 So for you, the worst result of a startup is to go back to the current point: Get ready for a job .」 For Shi danfu's MBA graduates, if they start their own business, it is like climbing a rock-studded sports route. The chances of success are very low, but the consequences of the fall are minimal: the ropes on the rock nails will hold her. Therefore, she decided to make every effort to eliminate all the difficulties. Later, she successfully created her own company. The key point is that we must clearly distinguish the difference between probability and consequence in order to act correctly. To climb a dangerous route (or walk in a situation where personal or career destruction is sufficient), you should avoid letting yourself fall, unless you have no other options. You can take on this difficult challenge and go all out in the face of a 5% success rate, rather than give up. Belief: the greatest failure of success is to let the current mentality hinder your creativity and ability. Changing mindset is especially suitable for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Just as the inspiration of rock climbing: The biggest obstacle is not rock, but the hearts of the people ....... Using the futuristic approach (rather than the present) to climb a mountain: How can I achieve success in 1978 by changing my mindset? I fell in love with a rock climbing Route named genesis. In the Golden Valley of Colorado, there is a hundred-foot-high smooth Cliff, and no one has ever been here to climb by hand (free climbing, without any external force, only the hands, feet, and natural rock points are used to climb the route ). One day, I looked at blag from the East Coast and challenged genesis. He first climbed onto a flat-leaning rock wall, and then suddenly jumped up. His hand hit the rock wall above, stayed for a second, and then let it go. The whole person fell 25 feet before being held up by the rope. Blag continued the test for more than ten or twenty times and finally gave up. "You can't take too long," he said. Before I went back to school for my junior year, I decided to crawl, but I still couldn't find a way to climb to the grip that even blag failed. Back to school, I stepped up my exercises and put a needle in my coat pocket to crack the blisters from my fingers. However, no matter how I exercise it, I still give it back. Although I am strong, I am psychologically threatened by the record that no one on this route can climb by hand. I must change my mind. When studying the history of rock climbing, I found out a model that is considered "impossible" by a generation of rock climbers. Generally, after two generations, it will become "not that difficult 」. So I decided to have a psychological trick with myself. I know that I cannot be the strongest, most daring, mountain, but maybe I can be the most futuristic Mountain. I made a small thought experiment, pushed the time to 15 years later, and asked myself, "what will the climbers of the age think about creating the century ?」 The answer is no longer clear. In the S, first-class rock climbers often chose to climb the world before the new century and regard it as a warm-up exercise before challenging other difficult routes. Secondary climbers will also think that the new century is challenging, but it is not difficult to climb. So I decided to pretend that it was 1994, I bought a small calendar and changed all the year and date. When we reach the canyon, we can imagine how people in the 9th century will see the path of the century. With psychological changes, I finally climbed up to surprise many people. This change of mindset is especially suitable for entrepreneurs and business leaders with a bright future. The key to this is to identify historical trends and predict the future of these trends. Apple Computer's jabbers visited the fully recorded PARC research center in 1979 and saw piles of computers using some type of finger-and-press device, and the content on the screen was actually printed. This kind of operation interface has become a common practice today, but in those years, no commercial computer was capable of doing this. Jabbers saw at a glance that these innovations would become a popular technology in the future. He boldly imagined how humans would use computers in the next 10 to 20 years. Unable to wait until the world changes, he decided to take the lead in following the changed world and launch the Macintosh computer in 1984. Because of the changing mentality, Chambers was able to develop the next generation of computers in the future. The biggest obstacle is not rock, but people's hearts
 
 
This is the most important inspiration for rock climbing-the biggest obstacle is not rock, but the hearts of the people. We can't keep doing our best, even if we leave behind, because our hearts have been abandoned. We cannot take risks, because we are confused with the consequences. Our greatest failure is to let the current mentality hinder our creativity and ability. All the limitations in our eyes today will become the stepping stone for future generations to challenge even greater limits. So why not join the future now and skip the current limits? The emergence of breakthroughs is usually not due to changes in practices, but because we have changed the way we think about them.
 
 
The emergence of breakthroughs is usually not due to changes in practices, but because we have changed the way we think about them. This is the most difficult way to climb.
