Introduction: I hope the students in the team will think about how to achieve a better self?
Previously, I published an article by Gude: "The Work Experience of a Senior Technical Expert with 15 Years of Service ", which aroused the attention and discussion of many developers. Recently, Gude also talked about the growth of technical people in internal sharing, which is organized as follows.
Q: I think you personally wrote 30+ original articles. Where did you spend so much time writing articles?
Gu De: In fact, you see that there are 30+ original articles, not written in one day, but accumulated over a period of three years. On average, it is only one article in one month. And when each article is written, I am It took 1 hour, so it is equivalent to 1 hour in 1 month for writing, so you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing this as you think. Then someone will continue to ask, can you really write a good article in one hour? I think it certainly can, and so can you. Why?
First, you have to think more , in fact, the content is already in your brain. Second, I usually write the results of my thinking as 100 or 200 words, and the accumulation becomes more. When it is time to compose a composition, it is a simple copy and paste, and then spend some time to polish it.
Third, don't pursue the beauty of words, just express your own thoughts. There is no need to consider words and sentences at all.
Q: Your article is very well written, but I don't think most people don't know it, but can't do it. Some people can maintain a high degree of self-discipline, but most people cannot. This is the difference. How do you achieve self-discipline?
Gu De: In fact, self-discipline should also pay attention to methods.
First of all, you must cultivate hobbies. For example, if you like to read books, it is very easy for you to "self-discipline" reading a book every day.
Secondly, I must start with the easiest way to cultivate interest. For example, I didn’t like reading at the earliest, and I couldn’t finish a chapter every day. Later I decided to develop a hobby of reading. I started with the most interesting and easiest to read history book "Ming Starting with "Those Things", this book is very easy to read, slowly from one chapter a day to a day and a half book, and slowly from "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to "Wanli Fifteen Years", the difficulty is slow Increase slowly. If I had been reading a difficult book like "Historical Records" the first time I came up, I guess I wouldn't like it.
Finally, it must be convenient. For example, I have a 30-minute treadmill every morning for 3 months. Why can it be done? Mainly for convenience, I can go on the treadmill in my pajamas when I go to bed. If you want me to get up early, change clothes, change shoes, and then go outdoors in a meaningful way, then I don't think I can last for a month. So you see, self-discipline also has a methodology.
Q: I think you started a business and started 3 companies, and now you come back to work again. How is this adjusted? As far as I know, many entrepreneurs are addicted to serial entrepreneurship?
Gu De: After failing to start three companies, I thought about it for a year and read the book for a year. I found that starting a business is actually a very selfish act, which requires moderation. By broadening my knowledge, I understand that I am actually not completely suitable for entrepreneurship, but more suitable for work, or to lead a team to start a business on a large platform, so I feel that I can play my strengths in Alibaba (I especially have entrepreneurs) Spirit), so that you will not be entangled with the question of whether to continue to start a business or go to work.
And on a big platform like Ali, the sense of accomplishment in doing things is not lost at all when starting a business. On a big platform, if you do it, you can also magnify the sense of accomplishment, because you can only affect hundreds of thousands of people when you do something in a small company, and you can affect millions or tens of millions of people if you do something in a large company. A sense of accomplishment at work.
Q: How do I achieve multi-tasking? I have a lot of trivial tasks that often affect work efficiency. How to solve it?
Gude: Actually, I also have a lot of trivial things in my work. My method is to divide things into two types: one requires a long time to process, and the other is very simple.
For the first type, if it is not urgent, record it in the TO Do List, and then "forget" it and do it when you have time.
For the second type, use the fragmented time to do it immediately, and clear it from the brain after it is done, which can greatly reduce the burden on the brain's memory. For example: reimbursement. I think many people like to save enough for 1 month before reimbursement. At that time, the brain needs some memories to complete the work. If the fragmented time is used to deal with it, then there is no need to waste the brain to remember and recall, and work efficiency can definitely be greatly improved.
Q: You in China is only a year and a half it ? I think a lot of your content is the insight of Huawei's experience.
Gu De: My time at Huawei was from March 2005 to September 2006. It was indeed one and a half years. So why is it that a lot of content is this experience? I think it is a transformation from a student to a professional. I was particularly impressed. I remember that I worked at Huawei. My master told me that working must be professional. At the time, I didn't quite understand what professionalization is, but this sentence has been deeply affected until now. Of course, I have already understood what professionalization is now, and I am very grateful for my 1.5-year experience at Huawei.
Q: I think you are very reliable, so I would like to ask how you become a reliable person?
Gu De: The so-called reliable person means that everything is explained, everything is settled, and everything has a response .
Q: As a manager, should you try to change others? Or let it develop?
Gu De: Many people remind me that it is difficult for people in their 30s and 40s to be changed, but I don't believe in this evil. I always feel that becoming a better version of yourself is everyone's basic aspiration. In many cases, it is not that people do not want to change, but they lack phased goals and do not know what they should change into . Therefore, I hope that every student in my team will think about how to become a better self in the future.
My understanding is that he needs to have a structure (be able to analyze problems from the perspective of a large team and a large department, actively pull together, and finally solve the problem, and is willing to appropriately ignore personal interests for the overall situation); he needs to have ideals (busy every day) He must have the entrepreneurial spirit (dare to take risks and innovate, dare to make decisions, dare to take responsibility, dare to be a passionate youth, but also encourage and actively support other people's innovation); He must have the ability to get results (good at getting small victories one by one, and finally converging into a big victory).
I don’t know if everyone can become a perfect selves, but I firmly believe that everyone can become a better version of selves. Let’s be a “four-have” youth together. We encourage everyone!
Q: Do you have any celebrity recommendations?
Gu De: I am repeating a few golden sentences this week:
Completion is more important than perfection, range is more important than precision, direction is more important than map, and clumsy is more important than cleverness.
Talk about my understanding of these few sentences.
Completion is more important than perfection. This is how I understand it. If we do things to pursue perfection, it is likely that we will not be able to complete the task on time due to the need for more time and resources, and thus we cannot close the loop and form effective feedback. And human beings are precisely the species that particularly need feedback (for example, games have a lot of instant feedback, so they are easily addicted). After many failures in the pursuit of perfection, their confidence gradually disappears, and they have no precipitation of successful experience (success is the success of success). Mother, only a small victory can have a big victory).
Therefore, it is more important to complete (closed loop) a task, because you can continue to iterate through trial and error, accumulate experience, and finally get closer to perfection. Of course, if you find a wrong direction after completion, you can stop the loss in time and change tasks as soon as possible. Instead of spending a lot of time and resources in pursuit of perfection, and finally discovering the wrong direction, the loss will be a lot.
Q: How to be a down-to-earth manager?
Gu De: Recently rethinking the definition of "sentiment and righteousness", is it to treat your brothers to dinner? Or "don't abandon, don't give up" at a critical moment? I think I have the answer: think more about how to achieve others .
Specifically, I think every day, how to create a place for classmates, how to give them the opportunity to break through themselves; how to discover their advantages, make use of the situation, and establish their technical flag; how to really help them get good performance and good performance Return; how to help them plan their career development.
