Good product managers have a thick skin.

Originally wanted to write a little idea, first by Baidu Space made a depressed, I grumble, I have been very tolerant.

Do products, is not only to do things, but also to behave, no more than certain occupations. Sensibility has high and toughness, rational breadth and determination. There are a lot of good qualities, and everyone is different, and I'm not exhausted.

First of all, a person, a person, to put it bluntly, the first is how to look at their own problems. Some people are thinking of others, the wind and the wind that is spermatogonial, but the person is still very poor, we still do not like you. So in life, whether your personality is dull or lively, intelligent level, the first is how to see themselves, how to themselves, take their own when the problem. It involves the face (self-respect) and the body (self-love), the limbs (ability) and the torso (will), all of which, it is best to have the mind (consciousness, talent).

Some products, you do not know how to enliven, some time some can not find the direction, or never a breakthrough, not taste the sweetness only bitter, this is really stressful, can not appear like useless people, after all, research and development testing and so on a pile of poor people are waiting for you to give direction, but you know, these are not abnormal, Most of the time is normal, there are few smooth sailing and only rise not down, of course, only then you have the opportunity, so, see the bad trend without embarrassment, you have to see the trend of change, and constantly look for the possibility of the inflection point, to practice, that is, create opportunities, which requires endurance and If you are in the above situation, do not want to seriously diligent work, do not dare to pull down the body, face to risk, disgrace, trial and error, so in the thousands of lessons to find the right path, this is a big mistake. Though I can understand that, after all, not a few people can overcome their own vanity, have the status, interests, so, Baidu space can follow the popular way, in the absence of understanding to try to make friends, you can also in order to pull the popularity and cater to children to make friends to get what to hit eggs. But you have to look at the data. Don't look at the effects of the data, look at the diagnostic indicators, whether the boom is really the kind of prosperity that everyone wants, and don't look at how many people are going to point out (positive earnings) and see how many times they have to cancel (negative effects). Negative influences may not need to be really done or have an impact on you, but you can't forget that. Because it's easy to overlook the trend of cumulative amplification of this stuff. So we should devote more effort to seeing what people are not paying attention to and ignoring, rather than showing off what you know others know. Know more, reflected in the part of the difference in knowledge.

So even if do not know what to do, friends hot to make friends, but also have a mind to consider, you are Baidu, you are not just the XX island of the main, xx cave Lord and so on to Mongolia investment; You are not the product of two days a day test. You have to make friends now, understand that making friends is actually very difficult to do, it is more difficult than to make a personal space rather than simple and fast! Where to make friends is simply rely on the operation of the lottery, paste some beautiful handsome photos to the user point, can be handed over? You're not a dating site, you're not moko, you don't have a vertical professional accumulation, purposeful positioning, The corresponding play and body of the team, can not pay attention to the resources and means, you do not have to wear makeup to learn people stand street soliciting! It's not as easy as you think, especially when you're a public figure.

A lot of product managers, are not willing to admit, in fact, they do not know much about the product, and an area, in fact, it is a fact, there is nothing to recognize, if the product is so easy to understand and remain unchanged to let you understand that the world every day have new gadgets, early crazy.

Originally, do the product is thousand wrong million wrong only to once, originally is you labor long can produce a little work, so success is precious, a little progress are proud to be proud of, but most of the time, you need to. Professional dry products, in fact, is very depressed, you have to admit that your skills are not quantifiable, others do not understand is the matter, do not make others can not understand you. You are not an engineer, you are not a ued, you do not have a fixed methodology and skill, nor should you, like the artist, rely on the feeling (which can be acquired, but there are some prerequisites for acquisition), and then rely on a lot of diligent training, rehearsal (outliers mentioned million-hour theory), depending on the opportunity ( It is a necessary condition to say that you live by a better perception and expression than others. Do not think that they are brick home always dare to tear, I said, do products, no permanent brick home! I thought I was the same as the diamond name on the eternal, the nonsense, can burn the coal is forever! Diamond is the vanity of the need and the value of being endowed, no one praised, what is the value of their own?

Some product manager, the skin thin all use to work, the person is thick-skinned and thick. I always thought that a good product manager has a thick skin is reflected in doing things and life two aspects, is to have more adventures, dare to try the wrong, do not admit defeat, not afraid of the eyes, to have luck, in those few people go to places, no one has come, most of the areas do not want to go to meet the truth, too lively place out of the hero, out of the It's just a lucky guy!

Do the product, you do not roll in the mud, soil drilling, let other people ignore you, let "big guy" despise you, the best is the competitor and the river big crocodile all forget you, do not know you exist, do not know what you are doing, how can you secretly seize to find out the truth, catch just appear, those rare opportunities?

You do not maintain the courage of creep, through those who do not trust your grievances, Bufen, little people know, no one to respond to the dangers and honed, you can not finally unyielding standing, can not be calm in the minority to maintain the real viability of the field of life.

To be honest, the person who makes the product does the same as the art creation, you have to have some talent, is the way of thinking and personality, you have to work hard and sincere willing to humble, to pay exercise, only some may be successful, slowly you find that even so, you may not be able to stand out, in everyone is similar, You have to be different, then you have to have faith to stick to do what you are good at, you also have to believe something, so-called your special beliefs and stubbornness, this is the basis for such work.

If not, you can do other jobs that are more valuable by empiricism, relationship accumulation, and time accumulation, rather than the empiricism and seniority of making products. Including me and many so-called excellent product managers, to achieve a big achievement requires luck and opportunity, the opportunity of the Times, the luck of the platform, team luck, but this luck and opportunity, but also 10,000 people, 10,000 companies in single-digit people can grasp, you NB coax to join the fun, can grasp it? 10 of people do things, Usually five mixed, five hard, five hardworking people with a good luck, he succeeded. We have to accept the happiness of being a person, not to be afraid of being considered unsuccessful and competing with ourselves.

Do something serious, serious, not long. I was going to write the feeling of being a product person:

Most companies, no matter what type, are not IT companies, in the production and decision-making before will arrange research, whether imitation or original, this is normal. But many of them are investigating with potential assumptions, this is a problem: if you know the results, choose the research object that created the result to study the analysis, and then by interpreting some of the local phenomena that have become factual, your research results must be what you already knew and wanted, with almost no exceptions, A lot of people take the results they know to prove that they think they are right, this is not research, the research is to the known fact part has the unknown result and the development (is helps to form the thought, the inspiration rather than the concrete decision), is uses in prevents the decision-making error and the one-sided thought, but does not form the decision simply by this ( So why do we always let new product PM colleagues do a lot of research and sharing, this is not a coolie! We do product research, and statistical research is the difference is that we are the main research failure, not yet successful rather than the main research has been successful (see gain or loss, not to "income" move), That is not the work of the product department, the Business Analysis department and the like, they are statistical analysis, we are groping.

The starting point and the incorrect purpose of the investigation, it is easy to draw a similar pattern to the idea of consolidating an earlier "Other level of factual causal logic", the so-called empirical part of the performance--------------------------------------- I can say that existence is reasonable, this is the reason others Hegel has seen this phenomenon has been summed up. Unfortunately, many people who should have done product research are doing statistical nature of the investigation, so that they think they have studied, so very understand, so all of these things to understand thoroughly, they should do so should be successful, once did not succeed on the blame east blame west.

For the single known results and processes to analyze and discuss, there is no evidence chain, with a single, focused also unavoidably special isolated results of the case to prove that the reason is sufficient enough, is more useless. Many companies make products and decision-making is also easy to do so, wondering why their own full argumentation and research, but do it is not the case.

It is worth knowing that the lessons of others are more valuable than the success of others, and you should realize that simply copying others ' success is not feasible (imitation is feasible, but altitude is not necessarily). Experience of blood and tears is more meaningful than talking about success. Do more research to understand business yes, but don't try to prove anything. Your decision ultimately comes from your own groping and beliefs, your groping to combine your characteristics, and then, if there is no faith and persistence, it is difficult and successful to follow the excitement and success.

Make products, not only through "proof" to obtain information, inspiration and exploration of testing methods, but also the courage to "falsify" to overthrow the past self and the existing performance, to achieve their "willing to" continuous learning, low-key sober, to maintain progress and the real battle in the product line, rather than pillow the name of NB Sleep, and finally be despised. Proving and falsification is a matter of consciousness, not of method or form. This is a common mistake in research. The so-called is not a form problem, refers to: some falsification, but also for the proof. The difference is what you preset in your heart, and it's easy for others to know.

Some people, in large companies, large platforms, put good resources, algorithms, technology, strategy, experience, others potential and you do not fully tap the recommendations do not, but to the glory and treatment of large companies, think that they have come in is a success. Come in is also can be thankful that they have finally achieved the possibility of creating value, resources even say that the springboard is right, you go to a company is for some value, not that you finally get an offer, so it is more successful than those who did not come; , so NB ... Then from the passive to active, and gradually go out pretending to know the brick home, Jiangshan, introduce the successful experience (some even do not own, even oneself actually did not do anything, is oneself come before already that, oneself just change a few screws, appear very busy), this really should not be the product person to do.

Some people, good at doing training, then you do not make products. Suggest some "successful big companies" simply set up a "successful product promotion department" or even "XX college" (really have this, to tell the story of the past success of training people.) Of course, this matter also has different dry law, also not all is the fool thing, specially lets the successful "product person" come out how successful, lets want to continue to do the product the person continues to make the product.

The pursuit of success, enjoy success, consumption success, this thing, you separated, said thoroughly, many people know how to choose. functions overlap, many people are lost.
