It seems that since 2020, Lei Jun’s annual speeches have been popular in WeChat Moments. It didn’t fail this year, which I think is a blessing. After all, he is one of the few big guys who still speaks on the Internet, so please do it and cherish it.
So come up today, I will simply share some golden words from Mr. Lei Jun and share my own insights. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, but these insights have become more profound.
1.
People become great because of their dreams, and they grow because they persist in their dreams.
The word dream may sound big, but in fact it is not big. It is pursuit and desire that everyone has. Just like our generation, everyone has a special yearning for the Internet.
The most frequently said words: Everyone who makes products has a product dream. Everyone who works in technology hopes that they can use code to change the world.
These are all based on longings, dreams, and pursuits.
Although most people have died on this road of wanting but not getting, this kind of wanting but not getting is the inexhaustible source of motivation for our generation of Internet people.
In fact, the entire society now, including us, is full of people who are desperate for stability. What is missing is dreams, desires, and pursuits.
This is certainly not a good thing for individuals, society, and the economy. Everyone hopes that they can maintain their original love, courage and pursuit, but do you want to say that this is what everyone is willing to do? In fact, it is not the case. Many times, it is a last resort and forced to accept it. The whole thing is that it is difficult to express the pain.
What follows is that most people begin to remain anxious, and even confused to the point of simply "laying down" and thinking that everything will be fine. I don’t know what to do, so what should I do?
Lei Jun told everyone that it is "growth". Only by growing up can we have the confidence to face unknown challenges. Only by growing up can you be fulfilled in your heart and have light in your eyes.
This sentence seems very chicken soup, but the sincerity exuded by the boss when he shared his personal experience is the soul of this bowl of "chicken soup". I believe that many people were moved, including me. Too.
But just being moved temporarily is useless, you have to take action. Mere impressions without action are useless.
But when it comes to action, it's another big problem.
2.
This relates to the second insight I shared: If you don’t understand, just ask. 99% of questions have standard answers. Find someone who understands and ask.
Old readers who are familiar with me may know that I am a very homely person. Even when I am in Shanghai, I never leave Zhangjiang. Nothing else, I just like to stay home. Asking me to go out to eat, chat, share, etc., I feel more comfortable staying at home.
But the advice Cao Da gave me in the past two years is to go out more and ask more people. Many directions may become clear. Many problems may be solved easily. So, I travel almost every once in a while now.
I meet up with friends and exchange ideas about their recent business, which projects are currently suitable for development, which projects can be invested and incubated, and so on. They are all asking questions while chatting.
Be sure to ask more, as asking can solve most problems. So how can I find someone to ask? It's very simple, it depends on what value you can provide to others.
If it doesn't work, just spend money. Spending money is also a value.
The main thing is one. Don't be too limited to what you can get in front of you, and don't fall into the dilemma of "obsessed with the authorities", otherwise you will be restricted by your own past thinking. I always say to keep an open mind, so going out more and asking other people is not necessarily a bad thing.
3.
To put it bluntly, the so-called growth is "cognitive upgrading." The word "cognition" has been talked about a lot in recent years. Everyone is talking about cognition, but no one knows what cognition is.
Most people think that their cognition has reached its peak, but in fact they are just closing their eyes and pretending to be deep.
He didn't know that he didn't know, and that was terrifying.
I crudely believe that "cognition" means daring to keep clearing one's brain, always maintaining an empty cup mentality, being willing to admit one's shortcomings, being willing to accept changes, and never resisting new things.
Only by maintaining an empty cup mentality, only when it is empty, can it be possible to pretend. Only in this way can we maintain the possibility of upgrading in an era of continuous change.
AI has begun to gradually enter the field of vision of many people, and some people find fault and resistance, thinking that it is useless. Some people accept that it is better than themselves in some aspects, learn and apply it, and then iterate on themselves. Facing the same thing, different cognitive perspectives on things often lead to different final results.
Therefore, if you have nothing to do, make more space in your brain, clear out all the expired knowledge that has been there for a long time, and make room for fresh knowledge. This is also to prepare yourself for further progress.

Finally, Mr. Lei Jun also mentioned related entrepreneurial topics. I just have one emotion right now: It’s hard to start a business and easy to start a company, but it’s not easy to continue to run a company well.
It is not enough to have technology alone, there is still a lot to learn. I mentioned in this article before, " With an annual salary of one million, you quit your job to start a business?" It is said that people who have started a business are really different from those who have not started a business, because they have to learn too much and think too much. Too much, too much to do.
For details, you can click on the article and review it. The mentality of having an entrepreneurship and the mentality of not having an entrepreneurship, the way of doing things and the way of thinking are really completely different. Although it is not possible for everyone to start a business, it is recommended that everyone should have an entrepreneurial mentality.
Finally, maybe some of the wise words from the big guys are exciting to read, but very difficult to act on. But I also hope you will persist, otherwise life will become survival. This is the true meaning of life.
PS: At the end of the article, I will mention something about ordinary people trying to use AI tools. In the previous article "What will happen if you tell AI immature ideas? ", many people have reported that it seems useful, but it has not been used yet. If you have the opportunity to use relevant tools, ask if there is any solution. It just so happens that Nuannuan is preparing related experience camp activities, which is more suitable for pure novices who have not had the opportunity to get in touch with it, or who have not used GPT until now.
If you meet the requirements, you can scan the QR code below and add Nuan Nuan on WeChat to obtain a limited-time free participation quota. Reply " Experience " and Nuan Nuan will invite you to the experience camp group today to experience it. Participants can obtain GPT usage, as well as tutorials, application cases, etc.
