Half the Analects of Confucius create an Enterprise
Wu Yan hasn't had a long time since he started his own business, but the ups and downs and joys and sorrows he has experienced over the past days are even more than the total. Sometimes he really feels tired, now he is deeply aware that he should strengthen his self-cultivation. Wu Yan used to have a habit of buying a book about inspirational or successful learning every time he encountered a career bottleneck. Therefore, these books are the most popular books except technical books.
Wu yiben flipped through these books. For example, this book says that success is simple, and only five steps are required: clear goals, detailed plans, immediate actions, a large number of actions, and timely summary, at the beginning, it seems that people are excited, as if they have found a shortcut to success. But what is the goal? How to be clear? How to make a plan? What do you do now? How? There is no operability at all, as Song Dandan's sketch in the spring evening said: "It takes three steps to pack the big image into the refrigerator: Step 1: open the refrigerator door, and Step 2: Put the elephant in, step 3 close the refrigerator door." Very clear, but I believe anyone trying to do it will fail. In addition, these are all excited slogans, which reminds Wu Yan of the famous saying "if you don't know where to play the ball, play it in the door!" What a wonderful story, but we want to kick in the door. We want to learn methods, not to learn ideas. We have no idea at all, unfortunately, it will never teach you feasible methods. Wu Yan thinks that most people will not succeed just like themselves, but they will become more and more successful.
Wu Yan thought of these books in a carton without hesitation and had the opportunity to sell them as waste paper. In the end, there is only the experience of the Analects of Confucius Based on Dan. This book was not bought by Wu Yan, but by a colleague, who angered him about how superficial the book was. Wu Yan was curious and wanted to borrow it. He did not expect the colleague to give it to him directly, he just wanted to throw the book and gave it to Wu Yan. In this way, Wu Yan owns the only book that is neither a technical book nor a successful book. When this book was opened, the first page was written: "Zhao pu, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, once advertised that he was using the half Analects of Confucius to govern the world". Wu Yan thought that since the half Analects of Confucius could govern the world, wu Yan decided to take a good look at this book.
In fact, the core of the Analects of Confucius is renshu, which is a person who really has a benevolent heart. If you want to stand up and stand up, you can reach out to the talents and get closer to others. The Analects of Confucius tells us that each of us wants to succeed. If we want to succeed in this world, we need to help people around us to succeed first, if the people around us succeed, we are more likely to succeed. If we do this, it is called "instant access". That is to say, benevolence means focusing on the current people closest to us and what we can do right away. Indeed, when Wu recalled that he was in the past and did not do this, he often refused to accept his direct leadership and thought that he could not provide technical capabilities or could not manage him, I often complain in the dark about why I didn't mention him, never thought about helping them succeed, and always had a gloating mind for their mistakes, which is contrary to what the sage said, the result is that the relationship with direct leaders is getting increasingly tense, and it is increasingly difficult for you to make achievements. When direct leaders are promoted or adjusted, it is obviously impossible for their recommender to have Wu Yan's copy, and the senior leadership must be based on the recommendation of middle-level leaders, because how can they understand grass-roots employees?
Speaking of this, Wu Yan thought of one of the seven habits of high-performance people, that is, each of us has our own concerns and influences, but most of our problems are, we put both time and energy on what we care about, while ignoring our influential things. The result is that we are always powerless to care about things, in the long run, there will be fewer and fewer influential things. The correct approach is to focus on our influential things first and do well. Doing so will naturally affect what we care about. Over time, we will see more and more influential things. This is exactly the same as the Analects of Confucius. It seems that no matter whether it was the spring, autumn, and the Warring States two thousand years ago or in the contemporary era, whether in the East or the West, the basic principle of being a person is the same. For example, Wu Yan has always been particularly concerned about promotions, but he has no influence in this case. If he focuses on learning new technologies and improving existing products, if you have accumulated various contacts and other influential things, the situation will be different. These efforts will be useful one day.
The second core of the Analects of Confucius is the forgiveness of benevolence, that is, forgiveness. To do what you don't want, do not apply to people, and put it down in due time. Wu Yan thinks that he has not done this. If he is a leader, he certainly does not want to have a subordinate who matches himself. Even if he is very competent, however, I usually treat my superiors in this way, and some do not.
When it comes to putting it down, there was a little story from the Buddhist family. The little monk and the old monk went to the border and met a little girl on the road to cross the river. The old monk put the little girl down on the other side of the river, and then continue to join the monk. The little monk was able to hold back, but then he couldn't help it. Then he asked, "Master, how can you carry the little girl ?" The old monk replied, "I crossed the river with her back and put her down on the other side of the river, but you have carried her all the way in your heart, and you haven't put it down yet !" This story makes sense. Some things are not as obvious as they are on the surface. Wu Yan thought that every time he was facing a promotion opportunity, he was humble and thought that he should not be arrogant. He hoped that it would be a battle of gentlemen and he could be elected in the hope of everyone, it seems that the foreigner is very open to this matter, but once the result is declared not his own, he will be worried and will never be able to let it go. This is very different from one of his former colleagues. When a colleague encounters a promotion opportunity, he is always very active. This makes Wu Yan feel incredible and full, how can I get it if I lose my face? But when he announced that the result was not his, he was surprised at the time. The next day, it seemed that nothing had happened, and he would actively cooperate with the new leaders. Wu Yan once asked him how he had won't win the opportunity for a long time. Are you not affected at all? The colleague calmly said, "I have forgotten it since the announcement ." Now it seems that colleague has really done everything, and it is time to put it down.
Wu Yan particularly appreciates the description of the gentleman in the Analects of Confucius: benevolent, wise, and brave. If we are honest and tolerant, and have a true lofty ideal, we can ignore the details and gains and losses, and always think right according to our principle. Likewise, because of our strong heart, we have broad-minded guidance, and we are faced with various dilemmas in the face of various temptations, we will follow the call of our hearts to make the right choices without too much confusion. When we are faced with difficulties, we will go forward without fear because we have lofty ideals and strong hearts.
Wu Yan's experience in the Analects of Confucius over the past few days in his study of this small book seems to have changed from the inside out. Instead of being as dry as in the past, he can really calm down, at the same time, I am not confused about whether I had chosen to resign and start a business correctly. I am not worried about what will happen if my business fails.
Wu Yan's project framework has basically stabilized. Currently, all product pages are crawled through web crawlers, and each product introduction, parameter, purchase status, and comment are manually entered into the system, wu Yan was originally preparing to develop an automatic processing tool, but the price information of these websites was images, and some noise was added. When JavaCV and other character recognition (OCR) technologies were used for recognition, it may be due to a mistake. In the past two days, Dangdang has been unable to make a deal with the customer due to incorrect prices. If he wants to provide the price comparison function, the price information must be accurate. Therefore, the manual method is more reliable, in addition, during this process, Wu Yan can calculate the time required for each product input and calculate the total number of products on each website, in this way, we can accurately estimate the required human resources.
At present, Wu Yan has already input hundreds of products into the system. Through text mining of these products, the content-based recommendation engine seems to work well. Currently, Wu Yan has begun to design the homepage. Wu Yan has seen the home pages of major e-commerce websites. He feels that the pages are too messy. He wants to design a page that is concise but more convenient for users. But how can he achieve this effect? Wu Yan is in a hard time thinking.
At this time, Wu received a call from a netizen who met Thomas on the entrepreneurial website. Wu Yan admired his comments on the project on the website. He was very insightful and learned that he was an MBA from Tsinghua University. Wu Yan has always thought that MBA is a blind diploma, a typical Emperor's New Clothes. Since seeing him, Wu Yan thinks that MBA can still learn a lot.
"Hey, Wu Yan. My account on the startup pop website does not know why it was blocked. I cannot leave a message on the website ." Thomas said.
"It doesn't matter. I don't often do it. What are you busy with recently ?" Wu Yan asked.
"I recently made a website online investment in Angel Street, which is similar to the positioning of entrepreneurial websites. However, it is located in angel investment and wants to connect angel investment with ordinary entrepreneurs, we are going to launch a successful case every month to talk about it through successful cases. Unlike the startup websites, we rely on VC experts to attract people." Thomas said passionately.
"Okay, great! You have also made angel investment from entrepreneurs. It's really good !" Wu Yan said sincerely.
"No, I am still working as my former enterprise. The website of Angel Street is just getting started. I hope you can visit our website. At the same time, if your friends start a business, they will also be pulled here, after all, this is the true home of our entrepreneurs." Thomas said.
In the past, Wu Yan was sure to think: If you want me to join the website, how can I handle so many websites! Then you can handle a few words at will. But now, Wu Yan has learned from the Analects of Confucius that he wants to establish his own talents, and he wants to reach the talents. He wants to help the people around him to succeed. If Thomas's Angel Street succeeds, I have another way to demonstrate the project, and I just need to register it, and then I just need to register a startup friend here.
Wu Yan said without hesitation: "No problem. Please tell me your website. I'll go up and learn ."
After that, Wu took a long time to register an account at Angel Street, browse existing members, and go to the Forum to check the posts. Although the website has just been set up, the content is still thin, however, there are still some attractive points, such as their attitude towards each project. Basically, they give very pertinent opinions on each project. It seems that they are doing things with their heart. In addition, Wu Yan is particularly attracted by their announcement of road show materials for a company that has successfully received financing, which is undoubtedly very valuable to entrepreneurs.
Wu Yan then recommended to several entrepreneurial netizens, persuaded them to come to Angel Street and finally let them register. Wu Yan was supposed to do this for the first time, but he felt very good. First, he first saw the website and thought it was good. Then he recommended these good things to the people who needed them, in this process, I can also help Thomas. It is called sending a rose hand to leave the remaining fragrance. Unfortunately, I did not have this mentality before, and I must stick to it in the future.
