A Hubei entrepreneur evaluation said, lei June before in Jinshan, very bitter to do for many years, and no great success, now Lei June can succeed, very important reason is, lei June to 40 years old just want to understand, and let go of desperate face to do.

The following is the main content of Lei June's speech in Wuhan University:

first, always believe in the power of dreams.

Why here to talk about dreams, this is because review my past road, in my life, my most memorable is Wuhan University, because Wuhan University in my life process plays an indelible role.

It was when I was 18 years old, first year of college, a very accidental opportunity, I read a book in the library. This book plays a decisive role in my life.

I remember very well the title, "The Fire of Silicon Valley", a book about 2.1 Yuan 4, published in 1987, that tells the story of Steve Jobs, the Silicon Valley hero. After looking at the book, My heart seemed to be burning with a blazing flame, and I was so excited that I didn't sleep for several nights. Then I went over and over again in the next stadium, feeling very hard to calm down.

In the Wuhan University playground over and over the course, I laid the dream of life-in the future must do some earth-shattering things. Naturally I will be useful, I must be a great person in the future.

Of course, it is very easy to build a dream, I believe that each student has a great dream, but have a dream after you have to practice it?

So in my freshman year in college, I told myself that the light has a dream is not possible, to be down to Earth to really do a few different things.

The first goal I set for myself was to finish all the college courses in two years. Thanks to the credit system of Wuhan University, from that day on, I really fixed twice times the credit. I remember when I joined the School Alumni Association last year, the big screen also showed me the credit card of the year. When I have this dream I really try to find that it is not difficult. At least I think that in Computer College, two years is enough to finish all the college courses.

Then there was a second third goal in the university, and I finished it. I was thinking that in those days, it was definitely not that I was smarter and more diligent than others.

I think the biggest difference is that I have established the dream of life earlier than they, and paid the practice.

This is my first advice to everyone, to always believe in the power of dreams. Today, we are about to embark on the journey of life, early to establish dreams and goals, and early to put into action, I think this is the beginning of life.

second, the courage to believe in the power to adhere to the dream.

It's easy to dream, it's easy to dream, but it's hard to hold on to your dreams. Can you insist today, five years later can still persist, ten years after 20 years will still be able to persist? Just now the moderator introduced me to do millet grades, millet I do not expand the introduction, I would like to introduce to you what strength let me set up the Xiaomi company.

Xiaomi was founded five years ago, the release of the mobile phone is 3.5 ago, Xiaomi just 2.5 of the time in the world's most competitive industry and market (before Apple Samsung, after Huawei) to the Chinese market first, the global market five.

This achievement is truly a marvel of the global business market. What's behind this miracle? The first company I started was Kingsoft software, and I found the competition in Kingsoft software industry very difficult.

To achieve 2007, after the listing of Jinshan I retired, I should realize the dream of many people here, 30-year-old can retire.

Listed a company, sold a few companies, invested in dozens of companies, after retiring my main job is to invest, life is very satisfactory.

What kind of motivation makes me willing to start a business? You may be full of curiosity and admiration for entrepreneurship, and I also believe that there will be great entrepreneurs in the future.

At this moment I want to say with you more, entrepreneurship is definitely not a person's job, is the puppy of the job. If there is no iron-like will, you absolutely can not do, I think entrepreneurship is not fun.

So in today's era of mass entrepreneurship innovation, I remind you that if you really want to start a business, be prepared.

I was involved in the founding of Jinshan Software, well aware of the difficulties of entrepreneurship, that is what inspired me to start after retirement?

It was when I was almost 40 years old that I woke up one night dreaming and felt like I was drifting away from my dream, and I asked myself if I had the courage to come back.

In fact, this question is difficult to answer, I think for more than half a year to make up my mind, regardless of the success of this venture, I can not let life full of regrets. I must try and see if I can start a world-class technology company and do something for everyone in the world, so I'm determined to do it.

After making this decision, I have a lot of worries about myself. Why, because if the dry hit, I will many faltered.

So I convinced myself that at the beginning of the first two years, to be extremely low-key, highly confidential, down-to-earth, until the product is done in the same time to stand up to speak, I think this effect will be larger.

I used a variety of methods to support my fear of re-entrepreneurship, the fear of another entrepreneurial failure, and then started Xiaomi.

Standing here today, I want to tell you that I believe everyone in this room has a dream, and I believe that you have acted for your dreams. What I want to ask is, 10 years after five years, after 24 years, 25 years later, you still have the courage and determination to persist in the dream, and do not believe in the power of holding on to the dream.

Finally, we will graduate soon, bless everyone a bright future, career success, everything goes smoothly. The more important one is, we are happy to have a good heart.
