good afternoon everyone,

We are honored to participate in this TEDx Assembly, thank you very much TED team Northeast University of Finance and Watson Studios provides such an opportunity for us to communicate.

Self introduction

I'm Dalian, a student at the high school in Dalian City twenty-four. Because the study was very hard, so I chose to study abroad after graduating from high school, which is actually a lot of undergraduate study abroad can not say that the secret and, after a few schools, and ultimately graduated from Indiana University Kelley School of Business, majoring in investment and Financial derivatives. When the school obsessed with stocks, learning is still loose, failed to become a "give up high-paying jobs on Wall Street decided to return home," elite returnees, really regrettable, because it is not what Wall Street firms willing to me. As it happens, she graduated two years before the stock market and foreign exchange market is better, earn a little bit of capital, so I decided to return home to do business. Now in the restaurant industry in Dalian, Li Diya Castle currently has two products not Wanda Plaza, Metropolitan, Fujia Xintiandi, Olympic Plaza 4 Cheesecake Factory, Qingniwaqiao 2 Station Road, Changchun Road, Parkson, and upcoming Joe Roosevelt underground club crackling fire burned three shops.

introduction

The first time the face of so many people make a speech after graduating from college, frankly, very nervous. While young I had the Imagination many times, I can be like those who went after idols once as young friends and share how I took to the pinnacle of life experience from nothing, then all earnestness to tell you, people can not live like a blade of grass but is like a tree, and went to the top of the pyramid, only the eagle and the snail two animals, my success and so you can copy. But after over 26 years I suddenly realized that a serious problem is that his life will not necessarily made great achievements ah, so when the team found TEDxDUFE I said okay even if you just open a snack bar, and we would like for you providing such an opportunity to exchange ideas and a lot of people, I feel how excited yes. Because the company has not listed, so the grass trees, eagle snail, sleeping on the floor to pick up cans of this story is not to say when. Today, just a few bothered to share some of my friends around me and question more than ten years, and after a number of setbacks and misfortune, my views on these issues.

Work hard to realize their dreams really do?

Now we can imagine sitting in a swivel chair Wang Feng teacher, affectionate look at you and said to you, 'What is your dream? "Stephen Chow teacher's phrase," If a man is not a dream, and salted fish What is the difference? "Is said to be inspired generations of people. Dream this stuff is so important, life is simply a beacon. The reason people are successful success vary, but they will not forget to tell you, no matter what time, had not forgotten the dream, is the primary reason for their success. That our generation for the most common understanding of the meaning of life, lies ultimately adhere to dream and achieve it. Few people can be willing to face the one thing that most people dream never, yes, never fail to realize.

You heard right, most people fail to realize the dream of never.

First and share a dream before me. In college I was interested in a wide variety of casino games, it is a frequent visitor to the casino next to the school. I started my career from the casino gambler basic game roulette, the roulette 1-36 and two digital 0, the odds are 1 lost 36.1 to 36 is divided into red and black, red bet black odds are 1 lose 1. As a qualified person received nine-year compulsory education all know, every wheel began to turn the moment, is a purely independent random events. But the charm of gambling this thing is that when you really live casino, has been seen 4 times in a row out of the red, almost everyone will want a bargaining chip against the black of that side. And I had a dream, which is to decipher the mystery. My initial strategy is very simple, when three consecutive open several surprisingly, the even bet on three consecutive red, bet on black. Incredible thing happened in the case of my strict implementation of this strategy, not only to get out to the casino a few times before, each time also earned a lot, so I had an illusion, perhaps there is a game a pattern, I've seen the pinnacle of life is not far away waving to me. Of course, the ultimate end you must think, having gone through 18 consecutive even-numbered, out of 21 times in a row black, I obediently before earned money back to the casino.

Later, I know, I'm that stupid dream is called gambler fallacy, not a specific start speaking. But I sense it deeply, I finally understand in the face of pure random events, all the laws are unnecessary.

Things in life there are very few and roulette, as part of purely random events, such as color ball. But in almost every color ball will tell you ah, how much they spent on the effort to delve into the numbers, study the laws of history, how much to pay their hard efforts finally succeeded. In fact, even purely random-led thing, as long as the people involved in the base is large enough, there is always a small probability event occurs. Interestingly, almost all beneficiaries in random events, this will be the result of luck entirely due to decide on their own efforts. Not only the participants themselves, bystanders would think so. Another example is China's champion sound good thing.

All the things we encounter in life can be basically divided into three categories, first by the sheer randomness of the decision, such as Brownian motion and roulette, purely by the ability to determine the second category, such as CET, the 110-meter hurdles class. The third category, is decided jointly by the ability of our most frequently encountered and randomness, such as entrepreneurship, investment, love or dream.

I always tell young people inspirational gurus at all costs chase a dream deeply felt tired reason is that most people dream of, though not a pure ball, but definitely dominated by randomness. In the face of strong randomness, to pay more sweat, is like day and night squatting next roulette desire to fathom where the rule. Speaking in front of Chinese sounds good champion, Zhang Bichen of the sentence you are my destiny, I also hear drunk. But after that moment, and how many Chinese as good as her singing girl sing even better, if it sounds good to become champion as a dream of a lifetime, had spent his life in pain. I personally like Huang Bo, but certainly not with Huang Bo as an example to motivate me such a long difference of young actors at all costs to chase the dream, pay attention at all costs. Because whether it is singing or acting, no amount of effort can only make you become very good, they do not exist quantifiable criteria, want to be a much-anticipated star, the importance of randomness are far greater than the strength.

I think a person at a young age, to do everything, can clearly distinguish the proportion of the share of randomness to remain calm and accept it, in my opinion is the most valuable asset.

So in your dream, luck has played many important roles it? When you are deeply aware of this matter to the randomness may not favor you, if still willing to stick it? For me, the dream is always worthwhile pursuit, but I can be very calm acceptance, it is never achieve.

Since even dreams are not realized, what else it worth the effort?

This time last year, I made a micro-blog.

I always remind myself all these years one thing, do not touch your own. Most people seem efforts, but a foolish caused. What stay up reading until dawn, slept only a few hours for several days, how long did leave, and if these things boast, then any person on a Foxconn assembly line more than you work. People born with the inevitable feelings of self-pity, the only time to stay awake, to see where the real value.

This passage in the online crazy pass, that I anticipated. More my surprise, I saw in the comments condemning a considerable part of, there are people seriously wrote me a very profound words, "Do not blow out the candle when others have their own light, you can not because you do not like to deny other people. "it somehow is not it, even if you're just listening to my views on the randomness of the previous paragraph, you will know, I never think effort is a matter of thing. On the contrary, I have always believed, until capacity did not reach a certain level, you can not even face the randomness is not qualified ah. Zhang Bichen could get good sound inseparable from the natural champion of luck, but replaced by Yang Mi, the judges will not only turn may directly ran up.

But now the question is that what is considered valuable efforts? This can start with my piece of microblogging. This time last year my friends and I went to Daqing in pondering to do the clothing business, decided to examine several shopping centers. I was living in Beijing, because the night before and playing outside with friends back home already enjoy relatively late, worried to sleep overslept miss flights that night by the night directly on the sofa. It was the first time I went to Harbin, November has been very cold, lack of clothes to take, got off the plane cold headache. And because there is no advance booking, just bought a train ticket to Harbin after, found on the left standing tickets. So, when I did not sleep a night, frozen dizziness, but also in the Green Train Station more than two hours, arrived in Daqing that moment I feel it is not easy, the future must be written memoirs inside. But back to think carefully, these so-called "effort" to me eventually do the clothing business, is not half dime. What's more, if I can go to bed early the night before bed, some clothes more than ready, to train tickets online in advance booked, can comfortably achieve the same purpose. ? I like the epitome of that experience myself twenty years many things in life, and indulging in the absence of direct assistance to the results just because they suffered some painful behavior, mistakenly thinking that was hard.

When I finally realized that I was not the only one to have been consumed as a meaningless effort, suddenly discovered that I find very hard life of people, maybe not so hard if you stick to move in the right direction, than they it is not difficult.

Because our generation to understand the hard work and effort, almost all from the school, to be more precise, twenty years of life in front of us in the eyes of most efforts are those most hard to read and do title people. In fact, this understanding is very one-sided and naive, because reading and do title itself, is to a very distinct purpose of existence is to pass the exam. This extremely pure hard work pay, more time to review, review of higher intensity, in general, can directly improve test scores, the links between them clear and direct, and everyone looking to understand. ?

But the beauty of life lies in a lot of things before we did not do it to some extent, it is not fully understood.

This is like learning English, ten years long years I have been fantasy, through the process of how complex, how sophisticated design, how fully involved and how incredible efforts, and finally some day, perhaps I can since those early learning impeccable, speaks relatively good English, as the Chinese say, like, it can be said as he wants, rather than that it was designed tense sentence before every word vocabulary and then repeat a few times and then looked at heart fluently recite it. Who conceived of it not so? Unfortunately, it is not only never achieved, and so I do not see any trend to achieve, for each person to set up a goal, there is no more painful than this feeling.

But after time went to the United States about two years, I suddenly found myself could have been no obstacles to speak fluent English. This is not what I used a new method of learning, but then went to Indiana because very few people around China, in the absence of choice, forced to use English to communicate and express, in this process, I did not seriously He thought of himself every day how much progress, there is no stage test learning, listen and just kept saying, because there is no choice thing. Suddenly one day I realized until after more than two years, Hey, it seems to really have it. But I really can not be summed up step by step how to do just that two years, I have been very reluctant to go live in English thing.

The most valuable ability of a person can get, all and master a language, your efforts are not able to get instant feedback, even without any harvest in a very long period of time, until after accumulating to a certain stage, suddenly a burst of amazing strength, even you are not sure how it all happened in. Such as exercise, reading, writing, or doing business. When you finally experienced enough quantitative cause qualitative change has the skills, most people life is elusive, not because they are stupid, on the contrary, because they are too smart.

The most basic principle of human action trigger is called reflection, we need immediate feedback species. So for the vast majority of people's understanding of the world it is linear, but more often, but things is the development of the outbreak of a breakthrough after a long latent form of shock. I often feel that people are more likely to master the language skills, musical instruments, art difficult to learn in these adult adolescence, it is not that a child is gifted, but children rarely one week questioned how much time their own harvest, are bulkhead is a trained for several years, until learn to know, oh already knew. Only an intelligent adult, to believe in a book to read the Book of Changes, 10 words Ma's Secret to Success Road, 30 days became the story of the guitar master.

In short, real life, between pay and results are often not so immediate. After leaving school, when so close when we met a lot of things no longer contact between the doing problems and exam, many people pay is kick the tires. The most valuable efforts, is to choose the right direction, what can not return immediately, still able to pay for decades of dedication and enthusiasm, the final result may not be enough to make you isolated situation, but enough to excel.

Is there a node person in this life, then everything will be over?

Having said that earlier, talk about are related to the goals and objectives. Think about it, it seems that our life spent in the struggle to achieve the goals. In junior high school, the teacher told you, the elimination rate is the highest in the examination, as long as ran past, went to high school all just fine. But on the high school that not the case Well, high school teacher said, ah, go to college into heaven. So you are admitted to the university, still confused emptiness various Caoyangnianhua, parents and teachers tell you to find a job just fine. After the troubles and worries still find work in girlfriend for you to see Ma's story, to tell you so you career like ......

You find it, in fact, every stage of the life of this person has a new pain and fear, again and again, going. Because you will never go to college, career, married a goddess from happilyever after. But each stage is also happy at each stage, can not be replaced. Life is not a fairy tale Andersen is not Hollywood, until the end of life, what node does not exist from the moment of birth, passed after all happy carefree.

Each period of years has its own value, there is no distinction or distinction, should not be let down. And I can think of people in this life can do the most stupid thing is to have all hope of life to gamble on a future nodes, while ignoring life itself should be fun. Even if you later realize that goal obsession is, we will find it far not so good as you think. When I was younger and playing basketball on the playground buddies Coke happy, after the golf ball will be in the wine product can not be replaced. In particular, boys, do not always think of the future and so I have money how how, not to mention the future you probably will not be too rich, and believe me, that is not how the money is also really kind. Life in everyday life, all obsession is false, and the people around happy to get along, carefully arrange activities every day, every day of the heart to feel the mood, is the meaning of life itself. In fact, this is what I most want today to share with you things.
