Tsinghua president to give graduates five words, worth a look _ inspirational Chapter

--a passage from the president of Tsinghua University to graduates
direction is more important than effort.
Now is the time to pay attention to performance, companies, enterprises, Governments, need to be able and with the direction of corporate development of people, rather than the efforts but not the opposite of the people. What industries, what careers, and many things are innate decisions, and only to fully explore their potential, not always against their own weaknesses, a person can get ahead, as many companies now recruit, they believe that through training and education can let the turkeys learn to climb trees, But I still think it's easier to choose a pine tree. The direction is wrong, again diligently, again hard, you also very difficult to become you want to become the kind of person.

ability is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge in a person's frame is just a superficial thing, it's equivalent to some people who can answer questions about how to manage a business, how to solve tough problems, how to be a good mayor, and so on, but in reality, they seem to be clueless and overwhelmed, and they're always asking why this is the case, what kind of situation, etc. Their knowledge is only knowledge, not the ability to evolve, but the ability to explore their potential. Now many enterprises are studying the ability model, from the perspective of ability to see whether the candidate is competent position. Of course, high capacity can not be directly linked to high performance, the ability to play in a certain mechanism, environment, job content and responsibilities within, without these platforms and environment, the ability can only be dust-laden.
Health is more important than achievement.
Results can only represent the past, this is a lot of people have agreed to a word. For graduates to enter the job after graduation, the student stage of the results will become a permanent certificate affixed to the wall, into a work unit, indicating a new competition, a new starting line. Without a healthy body and mind, how to deal with the vagaries of the market environment and life changes, how to deal with work pressure and personal achievement of the conflict? And in modern society, having a strong body is not the most important, healthy psychology is increasingly put on the agenda, dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, suffering setbacks and pain, stress and depression, these will become the wage earners and even students often face problems. In order to prevent premature death, overwork, or pay more attention to physical and psychological health investment bar.
life is more important than diploma.
Once there was a story, said a reporter asked the children of the sheep, why the sheep? A: In order to earn money, do what? A: Build a house, build a house, what? A: Marry a daughter-in-law, what do you do with a daughter-in-law? A: What about having children and having children? A: Herding sheep!
Remember last year in the People's Congress to listen to a professor of basic management courses, he said that although you are graduate students, but many people are essentially farmers! Everyone was amazed and whispered. He said why do you go to graduate school, many people are not looking for a good job, looking for a good job for what, in order to find a good wife, eat and drink and live good, and then have children, for the children's future brighter, these are not farmers of the simple idea? The farmer's parents don't want their children to be better than themselves? Say that many of you are not farmers thought, when you can break through this mode of thinking, you are detached. When this society values the diploma, the False diploma becomes an industry, even the very capable person, also had to get a diploma, put a little gold on his face. Does the diploma matter more than life? Many people find a girlfriend or boyfriend, the degree of education as one of the indicators, not only hope that the other person can give his/her partner warm and romantic, I also hope that he/she is rich in knowledge, degree or higher, in the career can be flourishing; I want to say, you are looking for a partner, not a partner, not a colleague, life is life, this person is suitable for you, Even if you are a doctor he/she does not know a big characters, it does not matter, the fit will be harmonious, people than the diploma more important. Many successful people in the back when they said that they are too concerned about the work and career, the most regrettable is not to accompany parents, lovers, children, often also sad tears, why, early aware of these, give life a little space and time on it. We don't need to live so tired.
EQ is more important than IQ.
This is very interesting, we suddenly all of a sudden attention to EQ, because in the new century, EQ will become the most important factor in successful leadership. For example, at a time when many employees and their loved ones were killed in a terrorist attack, a company CEO Mark Loehr calmed himself down, bringing together employees who were suffering, saying, "We don't have to work today, we're here to honor our loved ones, and to give our condolences to them and our relatives." In that cloudy week, he helped himself and his staff with his practical actions, let them endure grief, and turn grief into a passion for hard work, in many enterprises operating losses, their company's turnover has multiplied, this is the power of emotional quotient leadership, is the integration of emotional control, high tolerance , the art of high interpersonal responsibility. There used to be a journalist who made a difficult entrepreneur: I heard that you had to retake a certain course in college. The entrepreneur calmly replied: "I envy the wise, those who are wise can become scientists, engineers, lawyers and so on, and our stupid wretches can only manage them." To become a successful person, not necessarily IQ higher can get the chance of success, if you are high EQ, know how to explore the resources around you, even with limited resources to expand New world, snowball like to accumulate their own resources, then you will also go to excellence.
