College students find work must understand a point: the first job is to learn, not utilitarian only to see how much money, in what company, what brand.  University can only learn the 5%,95% of life to learn in the work. Kai-Fu Lee said, "I started a business at the age of 48, I have been asking myself, you think well?" You ready?

"Kai-Fu Lee said:" Entrepreneurship must be prepared for the following conditions: 1 is the team, 2 is experience, 3 is the implementation capacity, 4 is the idea. With a good team, entrepreneurs do not worry about no capital investment, a good team, good experience and strong executive power, as long as there are ideas will be able to achieve success.  If the light has good ideas, without the 3 points ahead, the chances of success are almost Nil. Talk about the students in the politics of political class together, "the world because you are different" revealed many of Kai-Fu Lee's unknown Secret: "Mischievous ' Little Emperor ', 11-year-old ' student ', Obama's university classmate, 26-Year-old associate professor, 33-Year-old Apple Vice president, Google China founder ...

But he speculated that after he left college to work in the community, his work was in line with his inner choice and inspired him to be admitted to Harvard Law School as the world's best speaker.  Dialogue Lee: Not afraid of entrepreneurial failure most want to do the teacher Guangzhou daily: For you to resign from Google, write autobiography, to the university lectures, the outside world has a lot of questions, think you are doing business speculation for themselves, you can give us the readers of Guangzhou to talk about their own views?  Kai-fu Lee: I read the media every day, you say the question can be summed up to three points: 1, the reason for resignation is Google's performance during the period is not ideal, 2, lectures, open Bo is not a job; 3, helping young people is a cover for doing business. First of all, Google China is able to live alone, because the first three points have done well, but there is a lack of speed, so in the competition with Baidu will be at a disadvantage, so, there is no performance is not ideal, my new book has been discussed very clearly. On the job, I am in the use of time debris, in the spare time to do, anyway have time to do some useful work. And the so-called pretence of helping millions of young people is my ideal.  But my goal now is to be successful and to get high returns for my investors.  Guangzhou daily: As you said, entrepreneurial failure of many people, you at the age of 48 to give up Google Senior and start a business, you afraid of failure? Kai-fu Lee: Do anything to consider the worst possible. If I do 50 companies in 10 years, the worst result is that most of them fail, success is less, but I still do a meaningful thing, one is that investors should not lose their way, but also can be rewarded; second, for China to try 50 different enterprises, may have a come out and become China's brand Third, I can produce at least 500 talents, even if my entrepreneurial failure, they will certainly be able to play a role in other enterprises.  So the worst results are not so bad. Guangzhou Daily: University teachers, scientists, business executives, and now become best-selling author.  Which identity do you prefer in many workplace identities? Kai-fu Lee: teacher.  Scientists are creating technology, managers are leading the team, the writer is sitting at home writing books, only teachers can affect a group of people's life. I don't want to be the kind of teacher who puts the knowledge into the minds of others, but wants to be a teacher who can help students find their voice, and I can't think of anything more meaningful. In fact, I can also say that the purpose of my work is to be a teacher. Have you seen my "Close disciple" program? (referring to Google's campus recruitment program--journalist note) I interviewed 10 students today, seeTo the first group of students who might be my closing disciples.
