Realizing self in social networks

Maslow said that Self-Realization is the ultimate goal of human pursuit. So in the social network, how to achieve the self, the following to discuss with you.

One: How to achieve self realization
I combine my own life experience and get the summary:

1: Through the attempt to discover potential;

2: Look for the benchmark, establish imitation, learning object;

3: Through the encouragement of others, praise, enhance learning power;

4: Improve and innovate;

5: Constantly make themselves perfect, so as to achieve self.

In the process of self-realization, the hardest thing is to discover your potential.

Many people can not find the goal, in fact, do not want to have a goal, but do not know what is appropriate to do. So, again, with my own social networking and real-life experience, I think the most important thing is to try and motivate. Combine their own personality characteristics, advantages, hobbies, find the most suitable for their own.

Tell me about some of the products that changed my life:

Watercress, let me find my favorite books and like-minded friends

Through watercress on the book Guide, I know what is called user experience, what is the product, and through the right choice of books, my ability to be greatly improved, and broaden my knowledge. (Of course, my current books are all from the tiger sniff.) Tiger Sniff more vertical, positioning of the user group more refined, so find the book more accurate now, I am sure that the product will be my lifelong struggle for the cause, I think if there is no watercress, I may not today.

Through the watercress group, watercress of the same city, I found about products, food, psychology, reading and other interests of friends, can online communication, offline communication, broaden their contacts, but also increase their own channels of communication. Because with a person that you have no interest in is not able to communicate, he does not understand you, do not want to understand you, not to mention to encourage you, inspire you, become the object of your study.

Sina Blog, let me find myself writing potential;

Blog for more than 4 years, from the beginning of the first blog is casual record, and then to express themselves, improve visibility; to now to share communication as the main goal, hope and like the products of the students together to raise together to discuss social and environmental issues, with a sense of social responsibility.

So, is Sina blog let me discover my own in product thought and writing potential, then through the Bo Friends of the attention, comments, like to inspire me, so I have continued to write down the momentum, and continue to improve the momentum, because I think I do things are valuable.

There are many other, such as Psychological FM, Sina Weibo, QQ space, etc., but I think the biggest impact on me is the two products.

The discovery of potential in work

In practical work, I found myself to make the potential of the product depends on my own competitive character, another important aspect, along the way also have to thank a lot of friends support, including my husband, play more small one, learn the eldest brother, Kunlun Neou, if not their way of encouragement, give me the opportunity to try, Maybe I can't go today.

Therefore, all these are inseparable from the attempt and motivation.

Combined with the 2 articles I wrote earlier: As for the social relationship and the new product from the bottom of the wealth pyramid and the environment, the individual thinks that the community based on the weak relationship can help the user realize the ego; Similarly, I think the community development direction of the weak relationship is still promising, The key is to tap into a variety of different types of interest and find the right tools for them.

II: Elements of the Community

1: Relationship

Relationship determines the future development of products, because a strong relationship between the community and a weak community, the direction of development, mission, goal is completely different. See my blog: Talk about social relations

Relationships also constrain the exertion of individual potentials and the power of effort, because there is no relationship, we can not find people with common interests, not those who have common interests and hobbies, we can not find the exchange, imitation, learning, beyond the object, we can not find the object of inspiration, we lose the impetus to continue to work.

2: Culture

The culture of a community is important, and the culture of a community determines the overall quality or culture of a community. Two different cultures are mutually exclusive users. When a good culture in a community occupies the vast majority, the community is a good culture; Good culture can tolerate and improve bad culture, bad culture will expel good culture. This also conforms to the law of natural development.

Watercress has a bad culture, but good culture occupies the upper hand, so we all know that watercress is a very cultural community; On the contrary, yy is full of advertising, pull people, curse the culture, a yy constantly harassed, eventually, not cock silk users will choose to leave YY. So yy until the listing, to get a large area of transmission; the same, yy on the education, perhaps yy on the culture has a great impact on him. Another example, the Mo, because "about cannon" culture, so for many with us like the crowd, very few Mo Mo, even despise the people with the mo.

This is the influence of culture. So in the beginning, community norms are important.

3: Tools

In the book "Cognitive Surplus", it is mentioned that not our tools shape our behavior, but the tools give us the possibility of action. (71 pages)

So, all kinds of hobbies are existing, or can also say potential, Internet tools only reduce the cost of our attempts and interests, and let us better play our interest.

Every social network must contain, but not be limited to, three tools: Content authoring tools, motivational tools, community order management tools
Incentive tools, mainly refers to reading/browsing times, praise, comments, forwarding, sharing, ranking, community identity, rewards, etc. belong to this category, for example, I do in the Guild management system in the design of membership level, contribution rankings, etc.;

Community order management tools, mainly used to standardize the behavior of community users, such as reporting, in the YY platform for the administrator to use the kick, seal, freeze, prohibit voice, no typing, no pronunciation and typing, etc., so this also depends on the development of the community to continue to optimize the tool;

Content authoring tools, is the most important tool, because this and user potential discovery, play, achieve a very important relationship.

Design content authoring tools to consider: The user's creative cost, expression, scalability, learning.

Long text expression form such as blog, suitable for thinking more powerful people, content is relatively high quality, but the creation cost is also very high.

Short text forms such as micro-blog, publishing cost is low, but the content is uneven;

Multi-bay Classroom, through the web version of The Voice classroom, is the combination of visual and auditory, the cost is relatively higher, so the number of content relative to the low cost of the community less, but the value of the audience is also very high, because the content of quality, the overall quality of users are also relatively high

The learning of the social tools to do well, to see how others sing, there are simple sentences, there are overall rating, there are rankings, through these tools, we can know the direction of their efforts, quickly find problems and adjust, know their current position.
