There are specializations in the industry, and the most important thing is to do your best.

Chelong recommended me to read this blog: three insights on Entrepreneurship

 

After reading this, I immediately remembered a blog by Xin: Collection Theory of people.

 

I think jianshuo is particularly right about "Focus, cost, and simplification" for entrepreneurship.

 

In my understanding, the first "Focus" refers to a person working with a company. First, do his duty well, that is to say, what Mr. Xin said in "collection theory of people" should be a simple P1-people who do things, why are there so many tricks. Teacher Xin has also told us many times that when publishing books, he must concentrate on making books well. He must communicate with translators more and Improve the Quality of editing, do a good job in marketing-sell books. The rest are secondary. Remember that he once said, "A professional must have his own website. I praised him for writing well. He replied with a slight degree: it is my duty to do a good project, and writing a book is actually secondary. But what he did was that the main secondary tasks were all well done, and I was not doing well yet.

 

I often have friends and I said, Ah, teacher Zhou, you and I chat and talk about it and go around Publishing. There is always a saying, "write a book for us, I just tried my best to share my score. After so many years, I became used to it. For publishing, books are our products. Pay attention not to violate laws and regulations, ensure quality in all aspects, and do a good job in marketing and promotion. The ideas may be less good. Let's take responsibility for the limited liability first. It's about the country.

 

Companies are limited liability entities, limited liability to take good responsibilities, is to do a good job.

The "cost" of the second point is also deeply touched.

 

From the perspective of Xin, I can also feel that Microsoft's culture is very powerful: focusing on costs. At a "Beauty of programming" Reader meeting, we took roll-up and posters and posted some of the author's insights and thoughts, so that he would be happy. He was a little ironic and thought it was useless decoration and a waste of money. Once again, when we saw him, we printed a small opening color page on the Internet and gave it to him. He immediately said, "I really don't understand why you need to print these things ?" Editing on the other side is a bit embarrassing, but it just gives me a good opportunity to educate everyone. I would like to tell you that Microsoft is quite rich, but Xin pays attention to the cost and always reminds us that "How many books are required to earn back these costs ?"

 

However, Xin and his colleagues at Microsoft wrote a book, but donated all the royalties. When I donated the money, I checked it carefully. Recently, I finally sent the money to the two secondary schools I donated.

 

I have also felt many times in my work.

 

Chelong invited us to the blog bus to participate in the UCD book club. in the company's conference room, each person had a paper cup and poured water on his own. Everyone sat down and discussed it. After talking about it, they said goodbye. The cost was almost zero. I liked this style very much with the editors. After returning to Wuhan, we also paid great attention to streamlining the procedures for doing things and did not make too many fancy preparations.

 

I once had a salon in Wuhan and bought too many snacks and fruits. A friend from a startup company came over and said to me, don't buy so many fruit snacks next time, the main purpose of this article is to discuss the problem. It is a little simpler than snacks and fruits.

 

In the past, it took a lot of effort to celebrate the blog's anniversary. The fifth anniversary of last year was not a waste of effort. It was good and quiet, but the good books didn't come out because they were quiet.

 

I think this may be because I think it is easy, cost-effective, and specialized in the industry. It is the most important thing to do my best.
