I remember watching "Slam Dunk" when I was a child. Lingnan team coach Tian Gang Shigeru said in the match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang: "There are no losers in the remaining games. The following games are beyond the technical scope and are a contest of will." . I was very puzzled at the time, but as I grew older and my ability to read the world improved, I slowly began to understand the true meaning of this sentence.
I've been thinking about why some people, like heroes, can do great things and achieve great results. Each of them has a very unified mind, but their strategies and tactics are very different. What makes them all successful in the end? Later, I gradually realized that although they adopted different routes and ideas, they always walked at the top of that route. They were so persistent and firm, never giving up or abandoning them. Slowly, I realized that theories can be different, but the method in the theory they insisted on eventually made them great because of their persistence. Suddenly, I understood Shigeruichi Tianoka's words. As long as the method is correct, it can be won, and in the final battle between equally effective methods, the winner will be the one with stronger will. Xiangbei and Xiangyang are two completely different teams, with completely different technical play styles, but both of their play styles can allow them to defeat their opponents. They are both strong teams, and they are all benchmarks for their own style of play. representatives, and their ultimate winner is determined by the will. The so-called strong is king, and the ultimate winner of the competition in the extreme of the same powerful technology is more inclined to the stronger mentality.
So I think. Making a product is very different from a competition. Product is a continuous set of factors. It is not a game, dozens of minutes of competition, and several rounds of experience. Making a product is a long process, the result of a combination of various factors. However, in addition to a perfect technical set, a good product must also have a strong will set, and mentality is king! A good attitude can make products more beautiful and more competitive.
A lot of times, I get lost in thought. In the current version of the product, what problems do I want to solve, what capabilities do I need, what do I need to do in the next version, how can I achieve market leadership, and how can I connect the previous and previous versions to form a joint force? How to make customers satisfied, boss assured, colleagues recognized? Many times, the results do not satisfy you. Can you still maintain the same original intention as before? As summarized in the Zizhi Tongjian, why is your defense always one step slower than the person who harmed you? Because the people who want to harm you are not necessarily bad people. The problem is difficult here. History is always strikingly similar. When you reach the most glorious time, your ending is often tragic. Learning from the experience of repeating the application in history, it may be the best solution to learn how to get out of it after being brilliant. Do you need to learn from this experience when making products?
Now, I've given up on doing it myself. Many times, I will not do everything by myself. I will not say whether I am strong or not. I will cooperate with others to praise each other, form a team culture and team competitiveness.
Learn to listen and understand. After reaching a unified understanding with people, I will start to build product ideas. After completion, I will stand behind me silently. Slowly, in this environment, there are a group of teammates with the same mentality, who love to contribute and communicate more. The product is like a bud that grows slowly, getting stronger and stronger. Over time, this little tree bud exploded with amazing power. And this kind of product culture has gone far beyond the scope of technology, because its strong leadership lies in the mentality of the team, the culture of the team, and the culture of the product. This kind of culture cannot be learned by any competitor. Because, they will never understand that what makes this product more beautiful and stronger is the "human nature" that is the most difficult for them to overcome and will always be ignored, their mentality.
Mindset can make products more beautiful and stronger. In the end, he overcame all difficulties and stood firm in countless wind and rain, becoming a real hero, a story.
