Inspirational story: Do things to the extreme 1 If a company wants to be a market leader, it must first have a leader's mentality, that is, it must firmly believe that you can do much better than others. In this state of mind, do everything to the extreme and you will eventually become a leader.
Whenever a department of Baidu Company reports the progress of the project and says, "How much is our product better than the last version ...", Li Yanhong always asks, "Is your product better than all the competitive products in the market, and obviously better?" What Li Yanhong means is whether you have done things to the extreme.
The "lightning plan" is a model for Baidu to do things to the extreme. The Internet in China at the end of 20xx is experiencing the pain of bursting of the bubble. At that time, Baidu, which was only a search engine service provider, also faced the financial dilemma of customers' deferred payment. Li yanhong thought for a long time. Before the firecrackers went out in the Spring Festival of 20xx, he personally took the lead and launched the "Lightning Project". As always, he told the engineers in a calm tone, "Our team should comprehensively improve its technical indicators in a short time, especially in some key indicators of Chinese search."
At that time, the scale of Baidu was dozens of times different from the first place in the market. At that time, Baidu's product technical team had only 15 people. How easy is it to make the products of 800 competitors? Engineers must develop programs around the clock and then retreat.
In the most difficult moment, Li Yanhong cheered for everyone. "We have to be the best Chinese search engine to survive and live better than anyone else. You hate me now, but you will love me in the future. "
It was this lightning action, and only 15 people participated. It took 9 months to seize the highest point of user experience and establish Baidu's leading position in the field of Chinese search. Since then, Baidu's market share has been rising, and the road has become wider and wider.
Baidu in 20xx has 7,000 employees, accounting for 76% of the market share. At a strategic communication meeting, Li Yanhong once again reiterated to all Baidu people through live webcasting: "We must have a leader's mentality when doing things, and we must have the elite among the elites to do everything to the extreme and do better than others-not a little better, but much better."
In his mind, this extreme is endless.
Inspirational story: do things to the extreme. At noon, accompany the staff to weave bracelets. As soon as I entered the mall and saw a row of jewelry processing shops, I asked my colleagues which one to go to. She said that of course she would go to Ah Qun's house.
I don't know when, as long as people around me have jewelry processing or knitting work, they can only find Ah Qun to rest assured.
Other people's jewelry processing shops are closing soon. Only "A Qun Handmade" has been in operation for fifteen years, and customers are constantly coming.
When she came to Ah Qun's shop, she was bowing her head to string jade beads. I smiled and said, "Sister Qun, you are very famous in our J city now!"
Ah Qun smiled shyly and said, "No, I'm a craftsman!" " "
"Now when we are all talking about processing jewelry, the first thing that comes to mind is you."
"That's because I persisted and insisted on doing everything well." Ah Qun whispered while beading.
Ah Qun initially rented a set of tables and chairs at the entrance of the shopping mall. From the beginning, no one wanted it, and later the customer called Ah Qun. This step took her five years.
Five years later, business is booming. Now customers are repeat customers, repeat customers bring new customers, and new customers become repeat customers and bring new customers. This virtuous circle, constantly expanding, is based on word-of-mouth marketing.
It was just lunch time when we arrived. The clerk asked her what to eat. She said, "I'm not interested in eating now. I have to study how to weave my client's jade first. "
I said, "Sister, you have been doing this for fifteen years. Just rely on your experience. "
Ah Qun said: "Jewelry processing seems quite simple, but it pays attention to many things, such as color matching, material matching and temperament matching with the wearer. On the one hand, I like to do things that exceed customers' expectations and do what I think is the best, whether it is diamonds, jade, wood or stones. "
After listening to these words, I finally understand why other people's stores have closed down, and "A Qun Handicraft" not only opened an old shop in J City, but also opened three branches.
Yes, Ah Qun insisted on 15, but many people insisted on more than 15 in the same position. Why are they still mediocre?
Yes, Ah Qun tried to make his craft to the extreme, but how many people worked hard for a while and then disappeared?
Ah Qun's success stems from her persistent pursuit of perfection on 15, from her endurance of loneliness that nobody cares about, and from her pursuit of her own value and happiness in the process of pursuing perfection.
Of course, some people will have questions, Kwan. Is this a success? Ah Qun and Ma Yunbi, can she be considered a success?
There has always been a common problem in China society, and the standard of success is too one-sided: achievement in school and fame and fortune in society.
I agree with Kai-Fu Lee that success means "being the best you can be". Ah Qun's ability to persist in doing things to the extreme is to be the "best self".
So, she is successful.
A few days ago, Dong Qing was invited to be a guest on Face to Face. Wearing a light blue shirt, she looks particularly intellectual and elegant.
Answer the question of the host Wang Ning sincerely, just like the sister next door is talking to you. Behind every answer, we can see that her life belief is the pursuit of growth.
What impressed me most was that Dong Qing said, "I like to do what I can to the extreme!"
This is an increasingly perfect behavior, a self-disciplined mentality.
I think this is the most fundamental reason why she can rise from obscurity to become a "CCTV sister" all over the country.
Her calmness on the stage and her natural and unrestrained smile at the wind and cloud are actually accumulated over time. It is because she insists on doing her part to the extreme every day that she has today's dazzling events.
She once said in a program of Radio Beijing that every time she finished hosting the program, she would pull away from the enviable stage, sink down and seriously think about what she did badly, what she didn't express clearly, and what shortcomings she still had, so that her next hosting would be better than the last one.
With this attitude, she will succeed in whatever she does.
Her first appearance was in the National Young Singer Competition sponsored by CCTV in 20xx. She conquered the audience with her natural and graceful intellectual style, and even amazed the leaders of CCTV.
In 20xx, Dong Qing, dressed in a red sleeveless dress, floated onto the stage of the Spring Festival Evening, becoming the focus of Chinese people around the world and deservedly becoming the "Hua Dan in charge of CCTV" after Ni Ping and Zhou Tao.
In 20xx, she presided over the China Poetry Conference and the Reader, which was unexpected but reasonable.
"A large part of their success is Dong Qing, which you must admit!" Director Lang Kun said.
Dong Qing is like a tree, flourishing because every corner of its roots is fertile.
As we all know, actor Sun Li is not from a regular school. Everyone around her studied in Shangxi, Nortel, Chinese Opera and other schools for four years, but her acting skills were accumulated in one drama after another.
Sun Li has always told himself that only by devoting more time and energy than others can he do better than others, so he especially cherishes his every role.
In order to shoot Jade Guanyin, she is going to Yunnan for half a year to experience life and learn shooting and Taekwondo.
In order to play The Legend of Mi Yue well, she asked a friend to invite a history teacher from Fudan University to tell her about the "personal tailor" course of that era.
As Zhang Yi, an actor who co-produced The True Story of Hot Mom, said, Sun Li is like yellow rice wine, with soft taste and full stamina. This petite and weak woman always has that energy in her heart.
I think the "energy" expressed by Zhang Yi is that she insists on doing what she can to the extreme.
Director Zheng Xiaolong said: "Sun Li is acting with his life. She devoted her life to the role. "
It is no accident that her acting broke out in The Queen of the Palace and The Legend of Mi Yue, but her down-to-earth efforts made every role to the extreme.
Some people want to write good-looking and in-depth articles, persist for several months, and give up without success, but they don't know how many books those mature writers have read, how many literary theories they have learned and how many keyboards they have broken.
Some people want to lose weight and go to the gym for a few months in full swing, but their weight has not dropped as much as they expected, so they give up and continue to envy others' vest lines and waistlines, but they don't know that others have been keeping fit for several years.
Xunzi said in "Persuasion": If you don't accumulate steps, you will be thousands of miles away; If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be a river.
When you see the success of others, it seems to be overnight, but you don't know that it is a qualitative change accumulated over a certain period of time, and the opportunity has come out.
Just like Phyllostachys pubescens, in the first five years of its life, it was hardly observed to grow, but after five years, it grew as fast as magic.
The rapid growth of Phyllostachys pubescens depends entirely on its root system. The first five years seemed unchanged, but they were actually used to take root deeply and finally created their own miracles.
Therefore, the most important thing to do now is to accumulate your energy silently. No matter what the result is, do what you can first. This process of careful precipitation will eventually determine your future and make you bloom at a certain moment.
Inspirational story: do things to the extreme. She was born in a small county in the northeast. Although she comes from a small family and is not rich, her parents love her very much. She has a pair of big smiling eyes, which makes her particularly attractive. Being smart and eager to learn, 15 was admitted to the normal school. She is also very popular at school, and everyone often gets together to talk about their dreams and future.
One day during lunch break, she and her friends talked about dormitory life again. At this time, the head teacher came in and was excited to see them. She asked her, "That's good. What is your life plan? "
This is a normal school. Most of them want to be teachers after graduation. "I like being a teacher and being with children." She talked about Kan Kan, "I also want to be a writer and write beautiful stories; Being a singer is ok. I think I sang well, too. I can't miss this opportunity. In addition, I am good at debating and quick thinking, so I must be an excellent lawyer. Also, I want to be a TV host, and the scenery is infinite ... "
The head teacher asked, "What do you want to do most?"
"As a movie star, I think I am also suitable for acting." She said.
The class teacher listened carefully and said with a smile, "Let me tell you a story! A retired teacher in a country came across a composition book of a junior high school class that he corrected 20 years ago, and it was written on the same topic "My Ideal". There are 32 students, each with different ideals. Some people want to be scientists, some want to be lawyers, some want to be artists, some want to be doctors ... He has a whim and wants to know whether these people's ideals have been realized in 20 years. So he looked for his students in the newspaper and sent these composition books by address. The student who received the composition wrote back to him quickly, but the result disappointed him. They all forgot their original ideals in the busy life, fierce competition and difficult survival, and finally chose other careers. There is only one composition, and he can't find the address. The student's ideal is to become the prime minister of this country. One day, he received a letter from the State Council, which was written by this student. He said he was the current prime minister. He said that for 20 years, he never forgot his ideal and finally realized it. "
The words of the head teacher shocked her, and she couldn't help being lost in thought. The class teacher brought a bottle, put a lot of sand in it, and then planned to put another stone in it, but it couldn't be put in. She suddenly realized, "I see, if we don't realize our ideals quickly, the trivial things in life will be like sand, and the stone symbolizing our ideals will never fit in." This bottle is time. If you don't cherish time, then no matter how ambitious your ambition is, no matter how great your ideal is. "
The head teacher smiled and said, "Life is too short, and it is unrealistic for a person to try to cover everything. Remember, you can't set too many goals in life. If a person can do one thing extremely well in his life, that is the greatest success! "
It dawned on her.
Therefore, she set her life goal as a movie star. Even when she became a teacher after graduating from normal school, she resolutely resigned, concentrated on her studies, and worked hard to be admitted to the performance department of Shanghai Theatre Academy, and then embarked on the road of performing arts. Because she knows that life is complicated and complicated, and only by working hard towards her dreams can she succeed.
She is the movie actress Li Bingbing who is now in the limelight. In recent years, she has starred in Dancing Butterflies, Tales of Clouds and Water, forbidden kingdom and so on. , have achieved great success and gained great popularity. Especially, she won the China Film Huabiao Award and the Hundred Flowers Award Award for her outstanding performance in "Tales of Clouds and Water" and became one of the most popular female stars in China. In 20xx, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for the movie The Wind. In 20xx, with her outstanding performance in this film, she became the most popular heroine in the 4th Asian Film Awards.
Yes, you can't have too many goals in life. To do one thing to the extreme is success.
