I think our organs and physiology still haven’t adapted to the great changes brought about by several industrial revolutions.
For example, the human spine was designed by the Creator for use by those who need to work, run, and hunt. Therefore, the reason why modern white-collar workers are prone to lumbar disc herniation and neck anteversion is because the way of life and work goes against the design of the Creator.
With the electric light, humans have extended life by more than one-third of the length. With the advent of the Internet, human beings have expanded their field of vision dozens of times. With the aircraft and high-speed rail, we have extended the radius of the activity trajectory by dozens or hundreds of times. We have admired such progress countless times.
But obviously our philosophies and capacity to undertake are not well prepared.
We kept raising the threshold, but we were never prepared for fatigue, repetition, and dullness.
The pre-industrial interpretation of the word Lonely was only “an objective description of a person in a physical state”, but after the Industrial Revolution a “description of the psychological state of loneliness” emerged.
I think we are lonely because we can no longer live and think alone. All the tools we’ve invented are making people connect more and communicate more, but instead we can’t really be quiet and enjoy being alone.
We need to fill the void with more hustle and bustle, like taking tonics to stave off fatigue.
I remember this story very deeply. I think we always impose a lot of restrictions on happiness and happiness. For example, if I become a general manager, if I buy a mansion, if I get admitted to XX. I am happy. But life isn’t always the way we want it to be. It will have a lot of surprises, like a sudden strong wind blowing your umbrella away. An accident is an accident because, afterwards, it cannot be attributed to itself. And we used to love replays too much. We think we can control a lot of things. Actually, it’s all fake. We can’t control birth, old age, sickness and death, we can’t control whether it’s windy or rainy today.
There are too many inspirational parts of our education, but not the part that teaches us to live with the world and accept ourselves. At one point we even saw accepting ourselves as cowardice, as compromise and abandonment.
We can’t accept our imperfections, we look for a moment of illusion in short videos and drinks. When a person cannot truly accept his wholeness, he must be inferior and inconsistent in some dimensions, so he cannot stretch out in the real world.
The word stretch is my choice. Because I feel that I am neither showing my teeth, nor hiding in a corner, but coexisting with the world and stretching out.
Obviously, the problem we have now is that there have been too many “battle points” in the past forty years, and those who fought hard, caught it and caught it. But there are a lot of people who missed out before they got into the game.
But I believe that after everyone slows down, the emergence of battle points will be more inclined to professionals. Because the kind of buff that grabs nodes disappeared. Need real skill. So I’ve written a lot like “The Time of the Professionals Has Come”.
Professionalism is believing in science, not just metaphysics. Professionalism is to believe in the power of the system, not the power of a fight. It is to believe that in a longer dimension, on a higher mountain, the long board is important, but no short board is the core. It is to believe that the mean will revert, and that human feelings are not everything. It is when discussing professional discussions for a long time, and no longer stubbornly believe that “I started with XX back then.”
I know too many people who take chances. They are confident during the day and anxious and miserable at night. They seem to gain everything, but they also lose sincerity, love and tenderness. Their life is nothing but calculation and calculation. I think they are alienated after all. However, I don’t want to be a machine.
Sometimes I feel that the reason why this generation of entrepreneurs has created many miracles is not only because of their luck in the country, but also because of the driving force that changes their destiny. But the reason why they are trapped in an invisible cage and enjoy it is also because of this, they think others are hamsters, but they themselves may not be.
At the beginning of their business, they may have more ideals than desires. Later, most of them have more desires than ideals. It’s just that they succeeded, so no one would unpack themselves.
Of course, I’m not talking about chicken soup for the soul. Businesses certainly need to get bigger. Otherwise, how will the employees progress? If employees don’t make progress, why do they follow you? The boss is also not easy, we must admit.
I just want to emphasize: the idea of doing well must be done before becoming big. Doing well does not mean not being big, but casting the strongest chassis.
For a long time, the business model of many companies is actually: geo-arbitrage. Copy it from abroad and make it cheaper. First-tier cities can’t sell anymore, let go of the sinking market. The sinking of the market is not enough, so I began to think about going to the sea (Asia, Africa and Latin America started).
We spend more than 90% of our energy on the act of “selling”. On a longer timeline, this doesn’t make sense. (I have no opinion on selling, I am emphasizing that production and research are more important in the long run.)
In the end, however, we build great companies that go through cycles, relying on professionalism after all. The world has passed the stage of vigorous miracles. Respecting the essential laws of various industries, gathering professional talents, building professional systems and mechanisms, and creating a professional atmosphere are what should be done during a very long period of stability.
When making clothes, the first thing to do is to make the design look good, first to look good, then to have the soul, then to have the fabric technology, then the supply chain, channels, and the rest are all clever tricks.
People will understand when they get to a certain age. Those who have constantly wanted to add to themselves have gradually become burdens and tasteless. The external force you want to use to prove yourself will gradually lose its effectiveness. The body will be the first to pass the peak in the early thirties, enter a long period of decline, and then the brain power.
However, in the end, the great cause we created depends on our heart. Between the universe, only the power of the mind can reach the limitless. Mind power is not delusions and desires, not greed, hatred, and delusion, but a state of clarity, a belief in rebirth after quenching, and a peace of mind after experiencing desolation and hustle and bustle.
