Zhou: As long as you're willing to use your brain, it's not a simple repetition.

If you use your brain, it's not a simple repetition.

Perseverance is repetition. With their own minds, on the basis of repetition, the formation of a valuable accumulation, for their future lay the foundation.

I remember a composition of the college entrance examination in the early 80, is a figure, a man to dig wells to find water, dug a lot of holes in the ground, different depths, and some places are about to dig to the water, but because he tasted, not at any point on the real lasting dig, the result is that he did not find a little water.

Until now this picture has left a deep impression on me, because with the growth of life experience, I gradually realized the truth: any great things are made up of trivial, little bit of things. To make things happen, we need to form enough pressure in one place, and what we lack is not planning, not ideas, and it takes a lot of perseverance to do something very deeply.

What is perseverance? Simply repeat. There is a book called "Mutation", I suggest not read all buy a read. This book, "10,000-hour Law", he analyzed many famous successful people, found that whether it is Bill Gates, or Golf, Ted Woods, to be high in the hands of the master, in a field to become outstanding experts, 10,000 hours is the most basic input. I find that the same is true for coding. To become a qualified programmer, how to write a code of 100,000 to 150,000 lines or more. If you don't even have this level of code, it means you can't write a program. In school you write thousands of lines of code of course design, 10,000 lines of code graduation design, which is nothing.

Not to mention the athletes. Whether you are learning Taekwondo or playing tennis, there are a lot of moves that need to be repeated, and may be repeated hundreds of times a day. Some young colleagues complain that work is repetitive and boring. I personally feel that if you think this repetition is unnecessary and simple to repeat, you should try to optimize it. Now a lot of computer software design at the beginning is to solve the problem of duplication of labor. But if this repetition is necessary, like playing ball and having to repeat to find intuition, then you need to think about how to use your mind, on the basis of this necessary repetition, to form a valuable accumulation that lays the foundation for your future. Martial Arts book said Big Shama Shen Hara, a punch, potential heavy, very powerful. But if your stance has not been practiced well, is it useful to remember these formulas? New insights, new discoveries, are always repeated.

A story is circulating on Weibo, said that the 1948 Liaohsi, Lin Biao every night to report daily intelligence, in fact, are repeating a pile of boring data: each force enemy how much, the number of captives, the seizure of artillery, vehicles, guns, supplies how much, but also to count out machine guns, spears, shotguns, The destruction and seizure of still-used cars, also to be divided into size and category. This kind of work is tedious, tiring, and does not see any value. However, in October 1948, Lin Biao found that the proportion of short and long guns seized, the proportion of large cars, the proportion of officers and soldiers slightly abnormal, from these subtle changes in the numbers he judged the command post Liao commander in the vicinity.

I used to recommend an article on Weibo, called "My assistant resigned," and I'm sure many of you have seen it. It says that there is an assistant to help the general manager to put notes. In most people's opinion, the job is tedious, repetitive and meaningless. But the assistant has built a form to record all the reimbursement data according to the time, amount, and place of consumption. A long time, she found these business activities behind the law, the general manager did not account to the work can be handled very well. In fact, her attitude towards repetition and the way it developed on the basis that her work was no longer confined to the assistant work of stickers, she actually expanded her career.

There is a saying in China: Qinnengbuzhuo is good training. "Qin" Inside there is a repetition of the attitude and the method of repetition. When I first started my business, I did a lot of repetitive things, and sometimes I got tired of it, I chickened out and wanted to get back. For example, when I am young, I want to develop agents, one day to run two or three cities, with each customer repeat agent policy, why to do agent, finally tired almost collapsed, words are not come out. I do not want to do it, but I read a book, is China's richest man after Zong's "very marketing." There is a paragraph in the book, just write to his tireless in the country to visit thousands of dealers and agents, over and over again repeat words, again and again impress each dealer and agents. When I finished, I said nothing, and went on to run the next city.

I'm a man who can't sit still, but when I'm programming, I can sit there. The most people have to go out for two or three hours to get out and smoke. But I sit there and drink some water for 10 hours. When programming, if someone is playing a game, watching a movie, others will be tempted to sneak a glance. But I can do it completely ignored. A lot of things are like this, if you stick to it, you can do it. Many people only see the success of others, but do not see the accumulation of his success. There is a seven steamed bread analogy is very appropriate, you eat the seventh steamed bread after finally eat full. Others began to study, you eat the seventh steamed bread is made of what flour? Why did you eat this steamed bun to be full? They did not see you in front also ate six steamed buns, this six steamed bread is I mentioned earlier "10,000 hours" accumulation.

The classic of management is called "from Excellence to Excellence", the book mentions a very interesting metaphor. Businesses are like a huge flywheel, especially heavy. Each of us goes for a push, two, and the flywheel is motionless. But everybody insists, bite the tooth not to give up. Suddenly one day, this energy accumulated to a certain amount, the flywheel slowly moving up. Once the flywheel moves, it has the potential energy, and then when we push it, it's going to go faster. We do not feel that they do every day is very boring, the company has countless trivial things every day, I also often have to open a very long meeting, to talk to a lot of people, every day to repeat the words again and again.

Don't be afraid to repeat, I like everyone else, are 360 wheeled people.
