At 7:00 pm on August 14, 2023, Lei Jun gave his fourth annual speech. Has everyone watched it?
The theme of this speech is "Growth". In his speech, Lei Jun shared his growth experience and insights over the past 30 years, which brought us a lot of thinking. I have sorted out four growth mindsets that ordinary people can learn from, let's take a look together!
Stick to the dream, disassemble the goal
"Fortunately for me, I really took this dream seriously, figured out how to break it down into achievable goals one after another, and then worked hard to achieve it."
The power of dreams is incomparably powerful. Lei Jun ignited the dream of "founding a great company" when he was a student, and then made unremitting efforts for this seemingly unattainable goal. How did he realize his dream?
The answer is simple: disassemble the target.
As a student, if you want to start a great company, you first need to read the book well. After clarifying this basic path, Lei Jun began to disassemble his big dream into individual learning goals: complete the four-year course in two years, become an excellent programmer, and publish papers in first-level journals.
In the process of achieving small goals, various problems will definitely be encountered. Lei Jun listed the possible interference, and thought about the solutions one by one, and proved the feasibility through practice: "99% of the questions have standard answers. Find a Ask someone who understands."
Although the times are constantly changing, Lei Jun's specific learning methods may no longer be applicable, but his way of thinking is still worthy of reference for ordinary people: learn to dismantle goals, cultivate the habit of lifelong learning, and turn the impossible into possible.
A three-step approach to dismantling goals:
① Establish dreams and determine goals - what is the dream you most want to achieve?
②Split the goal and list the questions—what is the basic path to achieve the ultimate goal? What problems may be encountered in the process?
③Consider the solution——If there is a problem, there will be an answer. What are the specific solutions to the above problems?
Learn to disassemble goals, our life path will be clearer, and our dreams will be more feasible.
Multi-dimensional learning, mastering methods
Lei Jun emphasized the importance of self-learning ability: "Today's society is changing rapidly, and the knowledge learned in school alone is definitely not enough; only by developing the habit of lifelong learning can we meet all future challenges. Lifelong learning depends on self-learning ability."
Self-study needs to master various learning methods, such as the skipping method mentioned by Lei Jun, building a knowledge network, and grasping the knowledge system from a macro perspective: "Knowledge is not all linear, most of it is networked, and there is not necessarily an absolute relationship between knowledge points." If you don’t understand the previous content, skipping over it will not affect the learning of the latter; if you learn the latter, sometimes it is easier to understand the former.”
It is necessary to realize that learning is not a simple linear accumulation, supplemented by logical and clear thinking methods for summarization and expansive thinking, only then can it be possible to carry out systematic self-study and build a learning pyramid.
Breakthrough cognition, deep exploration
Xiaomi's high-end exploration road lasted more than three years, cost tens of billions of investment, and involved the joint efforts of tens of thousands of people. After experiencing ups and downs, it finally ushered in a phased breakthrough. In order to gain user recognition, Lei Jun led the team to continue to discuss and explore, constantly overthrow and rebuild, and finally achieved the success of Mi 13. In this high-end battle, even small successes are not easy, and behind them are cognitive changes and breakthroughs.
"Only a breakthrough in cognition can bring real growth."
In our daily study, work and life, we can't stand still. We need to have the spirit of exploration, break through the inherent cognition, and promote self-growth.
Summarize in time and adjust direction
Why did Mi 13 successfully cope with the pressure and become the "thirteen fragrances" when the two generations of Mi 12 and Mi 12S were heavily invested and suffered heavy losses?
In addition to the above-mentioned attempts to break through cognition, the team's timely summary and adjustment of direction are also indispensable.
Blindly chasing the stars, sprinting at full speed and ignoring the current and past distance, may end up getting half the result with half the effort.
Lei Jun led the team to continuously explore, sum up experience, adjust direction in time, and continuously improve products. This not only brought inspiration to the team, but also provided a reference for personal growth.
Summarize
The above are the four types of growth thinking provided by Lei Jun in this annual speech. You can try to apply them in your daily work and life to promote self-growth and realize your personal dreams.
Finally, let’s end our content today with a quote from Lei Jun’s speech:
In recent years, many people have felt very anxious and disoriented.
In the torrent of changing times, how to gain inner peace?
My answer is: grow.
Only through down-to-earth growth can we gain enough confidence, courage and determination to meet all unknown challenges;
Only through down-to-earth growth can we enrich our hearts, have light in our eyes, and be full of strength at all times!
Life is like a marathon, the success or failure of a moment is not so important.
All life problems will find answers in growth.
The reason why people are great is because they have dreams and persist in chasing them to grow.
Friends, may your dreams still shine brightly after experiencing the baptism of the years.
Friends, no matter what your dream is today, I sincerely wish you that your dreams come true and you have a happy and fulfilling life.
