Ten Tips an old engineer gave to young people"
1. plan your own path and do not follow your feelings;
Arrange your own life according to your personal ideals. Most people do not expect to become an Academician or professor. Instead, they want to live well and enjoy themselves. Therefore, they need to carefully arrange their own tracks, starting from an industry, I will gradually gain an in-depth understanding of this industry, and do not change jobs frequently, especially to move positions for a small salary. In the long run, this money is nothing, after years of experience in an industry, money is not a problem at all, and frequent turbulence is not a best strategy. In the end, you are not familiar with any industry and will always be a newbie.
2. Those who can do technology should not indulge in technology;
Never mind your own technology and put a lot of pressure on yourself. If you put all your thoughts on it, you are destined to become a character like Kong Yiji, because technology is only one of the pillars of your future prospects, and it is not the biggest pillar, unless you are willing to be an old engineer.
3. Do not be a technical master, but a general quality master;
When we work in an enterprise, we often look down on someone and say, "I don't know anything, I get so much money, and I'm promoted to an official post." This is a common and typical engineer's pedantic statement, do you think that the boss has been engaged in business for so many years and is not as knowledgeable as your new recruit? People may be good at management, be good at understanding the boss's intentions, and be good at department coordination. Therefore, they must cultivate their own capabilities in many aspects, including management and affinity, PR capabilities and other skills to become masters of the most comprehensive quality are promising. Skills other than technology are even more important.
4. Make more friends with the "three teachings and nine streams;
Do not interact with engineers only, think that there is a common language, but more importantly, communicate with other people. If you want to be a boss or senior manager one day, these are the people you face throughout the day. Understanding their experiences, habits, hobbies, models of problem handling, and phenomena and problems in every corner of society will be a huge cost for future development, without this, you will be clumsy, stumbling, and encountering many difficulties, greatly reducing the probability of success in paying a lot of tuition fees.
5. knowledge should be specialized and extensive;
Take a look at other books, such as finance, accounting, import and export, taxation, and law. It will be more useful in the future and pay less tuition fees.
6. Seize the opportunity to change to technical management or market sales;
If you want to have a future, you cannot develop it all the time. If you want to change it to management or sales, the future will be even greater. In the past, there will be no white-collar technology, which will be used in the future, management can cultivate your own leadership, sales can cultivate your own market concepts and thinking, and accumulate a huge network of contacts for your future development. It should be said that this is the true pillar of the future.
7. Gradually develop customers' psychological weaknesses and personality defects;
Suspicious, sensitive, indecisive, timid, and worry-free. It is very difficult for these engineers to change their personality weaknesses. Just think about it in bed, of course, it is impossible to change. They will help their friends stay on the shelf for a month, the package must be effective and practical. Don't just think about it. If you don't overcome these shortcomings, everything is impossible, or even the project manager is not good ,? Although you may be technically good.
8. Prepare for future work and establish a working environment;
Configure a working environment for yourself as early as possible, equip yourself with computers, simulators, programmers, etc. In your spare time, you can contact the market, cultivate the market feeling, and accumulate funds, more importantly, we prepare our own products. We don't have any technical skills. Only technology represents products rather than education and certificates, you can transfer technology or cooperate with people to engage in enterprises. First, prepare things and wait for the opportunity. Otherwise, you will not be able to seize the opportunity.
9. Learn to be good at selling yourself;
Not only do you have to do it, but you also need to be able to write and be good at selling yourself and building your own brand image. You must create conditions so that you don't know yourself. Otherwise, the boss will know how you can do it, how do investors trust you and sell yourself out early? The opportunity will naturally come to you. It is a good idea to build a personal homepage, especially to cultivate your own fame in the industry, higher-paying opportunities are more important than cooperation opportunities.
10. You can take the shot immediately.
There will never be a hundred percent of confidence. We have to be bold enough to pursue our own business. Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, and do not necessarily succeed, but at least I have accumulated experience for the next impact, and I will never be able to do anything. In addition, if I want to do so, I have to go through failures and never go through the storm.
