The first venture Gobi line review: Pain makes you real

Just like starting a business, the excitement of starting out always obscures the hardships ahead, and when everyone is elated, it has been quietly besieged by common sense. The real pain is the warning of common sense.

August 9, 2013, Beijing to fly to Dunhuang flights, "Entrepreneurial Gobi line" people almost occupy half of the cabin, Lenovo star five students Chen shaved a bald head, in the narrow cabin corridor to pack up the luggage, a friend loudly said: "Good bright!" Another seemingly serious question: you're not ready to hijack, Boss? A stewardess squeezed through the aisle with a pillow and looked grim. Those who call themselves "the guest", all with a face impatient excitement.

In the August 2013, "The Road of Xuanzang" and "Lenovo Star" together, and joint innovation Workshop, Yajie Chamber of Commerce, Zheng and Island, June Lian Capital and other well-known entrepreneurial institutions, blowing the Chinese business history of the largest number of entrepreneurs assembled-they summoned more than 140 entrepreneurs, with 4 days 3 nights, hiking through 108 km Gobi Road.

Entrepreneurs think this is not a stimulating trip, but did not expect themselves will be in the desert Gobi, by physical fitness, common sense, goals, team, lost beginner time and again besieged, when they break out, back to reality, time and action of the fence quietly revealing the towering.

From today onwards, on the eve of the second "start of the Gobi", we went to the past to talk about some true stories that happened in the Gobi last year.

Let's start with the story, just arrived in the Gobi, the excitement is almost everyone's mood, but things are not so simple, after a day of abuse, we stroked the feet of the blisters, sipping chapped lips, let the exhaustion of some delirious, will be feeling when the "pride", Back to common sense--that's the real starting point.

August 10, 2013 is the Assembly day, early to the team in Dunhuang to enjoy the beautiful scenery and Mogao grottoes Mingsha mural Art, excited to take a photo, if not the body's fast-drying underwear, they are really like a tour group, the afternoon assembly completed, the team overall transition Melon counties.

Before I leave the "point station" is always an exciting moment, when the organizer of the organizing Committee in the event description and basic outdoor knowledge to explain, each team can not wait to stage shouting slogans.

4 days, 3 nights and 108 kilometres, the two sets of numbers are repeated and seem to lose their proper meaning and elasticity. Some people may worry about their physical fitness, but in a passionate atmosphere, the meaning behind these numbers is forgotten.

Early August 11, the Jeep led a bus to join the departure. This is a route from high to low, from the altitude of more than 3,000 meters of the mountain pass, along the dry flood all the way down, in order to adapt to environmental considerations, the first day of the journey is only 27 kilometers.

The August plateau unusually empty, has been accustomed to large cities dirty air people, surprised to see lofty empty blue sky on the floating clouds, dry air with the morning breeze into the nostrils, a large suction, the heart of a small jiling rise up, the brain is an ethereal.

The starting gun rang, the team is almost caper flying out of the beginning, all the way to go, did not take into account the problem of pace. Walking, someone suddenly asked: what is so fragrant? The next person said, is the grass incense ah. Ah, the grass can be so fragrant, always thought cosmetics in the grass incense is synthesized out, did not think is really the taste of grassland.

The endless grassland is full of passion and romance, seems to have nothing to do with the hard Gobi, but they may not know, in these fragrant grasses, there is a kind of called "wet Death work". As the locals call it, the strange name is more like a description--the drier the more durable it is, the more the water will die.

Out of this grassland is the supply station, 15 kilometers away, a lot of people only spent two or three hours to go, if not someone began to pick foot bubbles in the supply station, this road will really make people feel relaxed, eat a few watermelon and dry food, add energy, people are still loud jokes.

The Gobi Desert began to show its true nature, along the path of the dust, the procession grew longer and the people behind the grass as thin as the foot. Soon, around a small village ahead, through a swamp, crossing the bridge is the camp.

The Phoenix team Hu Hai More and more slowly, he looks well-equipped, feet are wearing a pair of holes full of sneakers, the sand is easy to get into, and socks rub, the foot bubble soon grow up, although in the supply station has been picked broken, affixed with a Band-Aid, but he did not have spare socks to change, and soon, the sand again filled the shoes, he simply ignore, Go ahead.

There are several trees in the village, Hu Hai said, rest, two of climbers mercilessly pestle on the ground, head low down, did not speak. Wife Sherhairu beside ask: "How, still OK?" He shook his head, not knowing whether to deny or affirm. After a while, he looked up and said, "Why is his head so faint?"

Heat stroke! Everyone hurriedly put the tall Hu Hai to sit down, untie the collar, wipe the temperature with a wet towel, contain a few kernel dan in the mouth, slowly, he sobered up. Someone has reported his situation with a walkie-talkie, some people say, get in the car, do not insist, also some people say, let him decide.

Hu Hai thought to say, otherwise, get on the bus. Soon, the rescue car arrived, the wife asked Hu Hai, get in the car? Hu Hai again thought to say, still walk again.

This day, he came to the end, four days, he walked the whole journey.

Not only Hu Hai experienced from the excitement to the pain of the process, the Dream Team 57-Year-old chapter of the group, the first day down, arch on a rotten piece. Team captain Yunyu Ai said that since the establishment of the team, they began to organize training in various places, two young people may be because of their physical fitness, and did not participate, the result is that the first afternoon, the two young people must be accompanied and cared for to reach the end.

On the road before the team almost all walk, get "Shackleton" award as the lowest goal, it seems that this is in the bag, at any time can explore hands to get;

In addition, every supply station, must have 8 team members together "Best Formation Award", it sounds like a game, also not to mention;

As for every day in the specified time to reach the end, the fastest people can get the gold medal, the largest number of "Gold Team" this goal, unavoidably want to covet.

When the first day was over, the people who were disorder in the tent, stroking the wound, finally began to discuss the topic-which once thought to be easy and seemed to be optional-which was the real goal to be achieved?

For the road we do not understand, always have to have some arrangements, to carry out the necessary training, to do the basic material preparation, and then lift the leg to start, this is a common sense, everyone can understand. Common sense means ordinary but always effective, because of ordinary, it is easy to ignore, it is always there, but not with our hearts meet.

Just like starting a business, the excitement of starting out always obscures the hardships ahead, and when everyone is elated, it has been quietly besieged by common sense. The real pain is the warning of common sense.

Common sense is not necessarily known, even if people know all the common sense, it may not be able to realize the truth, as to the realization of whether to choose action, step on the pain to continue on the road, is to break through the key point of common sense siege.
