It’s May Day soon, this Sunday is a working day, and I have to go out for a walk on Saturday. I did a live broadcast last night. April 23 is World Book Day. I talked about the three books I just got, “Becoming a Writer”, Yoshitomo Nara’s “Beginning in a World with Nothing”, Cai Lan’s “I Decided to Live” Getting Interesting”, are all interesting “useless books” that I like; I talked about some choices in the process of starting a business, such as why I started a business at this point in time, the most important thing about starting a business, and so on. In the end, I talked about the rise and status of blogs and podcasts. Everyone has a strong sense of participation. In one and a half hours, 14,000 viewers and 500 people were online at the same time, which is very good. Blogs, podcasts, video accounts, live video accounts, and taking photos are all my creative methods now.
For me, creating is a way of life.
I often receive similar questions from many readers:
At the age of 30, the software R&D engineer of a small factory is focused on business development, and has always wanted to improve technology to enter a large factory, but he feels powerless, the learning efficiency is low, and he does not want to learn in his spare time, and the improvement is too slow. If you want to become both a certain depth of technology and management ability, how to make a better breakthrough? How to achieve a big improvement before the age of 35?
At first glance it doesn’t help. In fact, there are many people with this attitude. My advice is to start by setting a very specific goal to accomplish one thing. Note that it is done. Not done. Many people are concerned about their own technology and product capabilities. They have done ABC, but they don’t pay attention to whether they have done it. It seems that the technology, products, and business they do have nothing to do with them. company thing.
When I interview product managers or engineers, I often encounter some embarrassing situations. Skills, processes, and theories are well-spoken. Finally, let the candidate say something that he has done and is proud of, but he can’t say it.
Either the product made was not launched, or it was launched and no one used it, or it was not made, or the company was simply dissolved. After working for several years or more than ten years, if you don’t have a single thing that you can talk about and accomplish, all the hype that you talk about in other areas will be discounted.
To accomplish one thing, in fact, there are many dimensions, and the big level can be divided into work and life.
There are two kinds of work. One is that you participate in it, but you must fully participate. The other is that you take the lead in one thing, and when it is done, it is obviously more valuable. These are very helpful for your resume and future achievements.
It’s not that easy to do one thing at work. Simple measures can be as follows:
1. What you do can bring value recognized by others to the company, 2. It can bring revenue and profits to the company, and 3. It can bring value creation to users. Both, the best.
When you make an app, only two people use it, one is you and the other is your girlfriend. This can only be called love programming, which is not the same as what I said.
It is very difficult to achieve this kind of scale effect. In addition to luck, direction, judgment, persistence and superb skills are also required. Whether you are deeply involved or you are leading, if it is done, this thing is like a label attached to you, and you are a person who can accomplish things. You have skill, patience, and the ability to collaborate with people. These qualities are very important. You can’t do great things by yourself.
Many people still like to jump around after working for a few years to achieve a “job-hopping salary increase”. If there is no “product” that can be produced during this period, I think you will lose points for your entire career. It’s hard to expect people like this to do one thing together.
It is difficult to accomplish one thing at work. For example, I am in Hammer Technology. I can only say that I have made this or that product and supported several conferences, so what have I accomplished? No, Hammer Technology has been acquired, and many products are not maintained. But when I was a geek, I can say that I did this, the gmv broke 100 million, changed the company’s business model, and helped the company raise three times. Because of this, my own venture financing is very It went well, because everyone thought I was someone who could get things done.
If you think this is difficult, you can start by doing one thing in your life. This is relatively simple, and you can do it with a little persistence. For example, to take a good photo, the premise is that you need to take a thousand. For example, to write a good article, the premise is that you need to write a hundred first.
Sometimes people get anxious because we want to do so many things at the same time that we don’t get one thing done. At this time, you can try to get one thing done first. If you can’t finish reading the book, try reading one first. I have bought too many columns, so I should finish one first and learn it well. There are too many programming languages, so try to master one first. There is no success story, first try to make the product at hand a success.
Many people do nothing and worry all their lives. Once you do one thing, it will relieve most of the anxiety, and you will be more confident.
Doing something is one of the most important abilities.
