On the positive side, Ali said that a dream is better than no dream, and a direction is better than no direction. When a person is pursuing his dream, some wonderful accidents will happen. Finally, he quoted a sentence, "March bravely to the moon!" Even if you miss it, it will fall on the wonderful stars. "Aroused applause from the audience.
In the face of this argument, perhaps Ali has the most say, because he not only keeps doing unreliable things, but also makes them into a career. As Luo Zhenyu said, all actions are bound to bring accidents. Persistence is not for persistence itself, but for accidents, for turning corners, for countless possibilities. Chen Ming took out Ellie's book "Your 8760 Hours in a Year" at the scene, and it was this book that made me see a different Ellie and a different world.
20 1 1 June 14, 15 A few days before Avery graduated from university, the news of his father's death came. After going home to bury his father and settle down his sister, Ali returned to Beijing. In order to survive and support his family, he began to work crazily. My work didn't improve, but my mother called. Do you still want this home?
He felt wronged and began to reflect. Did I try? Can I work harder? Why didn't my efforts pay off?
Four years later, Aili became the youngest group lecturer in New Oriental.
The "Cool Ai English" program has more than 50 million hits on the Internet, and a morning exercise group, a fitness group and a reading group have been established for public welfare.
Aili created the "time management method of 34 gold coins", which influenced hundreds of millions of people;
Later, I learned that what is more important is not the effort, but the way of effort.
It seems like 365 days a year, but what if it is 8760 hours?
I met Ellie in the seasons mentioned in July and August. From the first season to the fourth season, this young man from Xinjiang is always tepid and embarrassed every time he speaks. At the end of each speech, the number of votes either remains the same or decreases.
And he has become the object that people often make fun of. Even as Jing Hui said, you will remember Meeks and Ma Weiwei easily, but Ellie won't. Because he is neither good nor bad.
I have always thought that Ellie is a person who has no sense of existence, likes to bleed and call for love. Unexpectedly, I accidentally read its book "8760 hours a year" before I knew the story of Aili's gorgeous counterattack.
Ellie caught the attention for the first time. He sent an email directly to forward the video of his course Cool Ai English. He popularized a lot of humor and ridicule knowledge with a Chinese-English course. At that time, most people thought that the problem of cake cutting was geographical discrimination, but it was sublimated to the educational level. This ability of independent thinking made Yu remember his name.
Aristotle said that Excellence is not an act, but a habit. Only by cultivating good habits can you become an excellent person.
Ellie said it only takes 2 1 day to change. After 2 1 day training, everyone can form good habits. Ellie made her first 2 1 day weight loss plan. Keep running for more than 40 minutes every day, work all day, and go to the gym after 9 pm.
In order to form the habit of eating breakfast, he forced himself to get up early and help his roommate fetch water to form a regular life. As a Xinjiang boy who loves to eat saute spicy chicken, it is more painful for him to give up eating in order to lose weight than to exercise. In the most painful time, I really want to slap myself while running. I don't know if sweat or tears are dripping on the treadmill. He told himself, "I'm not good, I haven't lost weight, but the word fat is not written in my genes, and I haven't given up the word in my dictionary."
In order to force herself to lose weight, Aili posted a message on Weibo that she would build six abdominal muscles in 49 days. If she fails to reach the target within the specified time, she will pay 100 yuan to everyone who forwards Weibo. Weibo has been transferred for 3,700 times, which means that if she fails to achieve her goal, Ellie may have to pay 370,000 yuan.
Expose your goals to everyone's sight, leaving no way out. When the 49th day came, Ellie showed the effect of six-pack abdominal muscles. What really brought pleasure was not the praise of others, but the conquest of her inertia.
What he learned by losing weight is that the pursuit of Excellence and success will catch up with you inadvertently. Now he insists on getting up before 7 o'clock every day. Weibo encourages more people to get up early, read books and exercise. It's hard to imagine that he used to be a 180 kg fat man.
He was glad that he was rejected by the girl. If any girl had agreed at that time, he might have a good life now, but he couldn't feel the excitement after tempering and couldn't make his heart strong enough.
Aili 20 1 1 10 recorded Cool Ai English for the first time. At that time, it was also called "five-minute class", rain or shine. Two years later, the number of video clicks exceeded 50 million.
In order to make the video editor not spend too much time editing, he usually tells the video 15~20 times in advance until there is no slip of the tongue from beginning to end, so that the editor can pass the customs cleanly. This means that it takes 10 hour to record the course every five minutes and prepare for PPT without teleprompter.
20 12 He finally found his own recording venue. In order not to occupy prime time, he had to choose to go after work and record at 9: 00 to 2: 00 pm, so he got a nickname: Ghost of New Oriental.
He said that if the meaning of life is only success, there is not much happiness. There is always something more important than success, and every failure is a step forward.
In 20 10, Aili won the second place in the teacher group of cctv Hope Star English Competition with a gap of 0. 1. In the face of this sudden blow, he recovered in half an hour: see if there is anything else he can improve, laugh it off and prepare for the next challenge.
Three years later, he joined Super Speaker, and was eliminated in the third round because he ignored the audience's singing skills, but he regarded this failure as a medal to hang on his body when he succeeded in the future.
The meaning of life lies in every moment and every choice. Life is like an article, not in length, but in content. Aili's father died young, but his help to others during his lifetime deeply influenced Aili.
When her father died in the line of duty, Ali could have gone back to her hometown as a civil servant and had a stable and decent job in the system. However, what he wants is not an ok life, but a dream and passion that can change the world life, which Urumqi cannot satisfy him. The movie "Jia Jia" made him understand that when he was young, he thought he was the wind, and in the end he was black and blue, only to know that we were grass.
By persistence and hard work day after day, learn to focus, achieve the ultimate in one field, and also break out of your own world. Luo Zhenyu said in Qipa theory that you don't need to reach the top 1% or one ten thousandth in a certain ability to mix out in this society, you only need to reach the top 20% in a certain field. But only if you reach the top 20% in another field, you will definitely come out. If we really can't find another field to cross the border, then learn to speak, debate and communicate, constantly reveal the facts and constantly emphasize our own views. This is our important skill in this social life.
Read Ellie's book. He should be a fan of Luo Zhenyu. Now, he not only participates in the recording of "Seven Ba Shuo", but also insists on fitness. One of the most important tasks is to give speeches and hold lectures all over the country, which is what he mentioned in his book that he will always do in the future. He said that the real success is to light up the lives of more people. When you make simplicity to the extreme, success is not far from you.
So he used his own way to light up other people's lives. In Super Speaker, Aili shared her original "34 gold coin time management method", which influenced hundreds of millions of people. It is through this time management method that Ali's life changed from 20 13. Before that, he was a fat man of 80 kilograms, with little achievement, but in a year, he recorded 52 issues. " The total hits exceeded 5000, and I invited the champion of the World English Speech Contest to participate in this program. I also made my own app and wrote five English-related reference books. My figure has become 72 kilograms, with abdominal muscles and mermaid line.
Accurately record the time every half hour, but Ali is not a workaholic as many people think. On the contrary, he loves playing games and is willing to waste his time on beautiful things.
"The length of life is determined by the number of heartbeats, and the thickness of life depends on those moments that make us nervous, moved and excited until our heartbeat stops."
Seemingly useless things, useless time, often exert amazing value. Ellie learned guitar in junior high school, and now she can play a song "City of the Sky". Because of StarCraft, she began to love English and became a lifelong career. Because his hobby influenced his career, Jobs studied calligraphy as a hobby in college. Years later, Jobs made the interface of Apple products the best in the world.
Anything that seems meaningless and has no such purpose will be meaningful in the future as long as you have been intoxicated and love wholeheartedly.
In the book, Ellie tells everyone to learn to invest in the future. As a teacher of New Oriental, Aili's income is not low, but the computer he is using now is his father's legacy, the sneakers he wears are a gift from his mother when he was admitted to Peking University, and the bag he carries every day is a gift from the organizers who participated in the activities. A suit is two or three hundred yuan.
Perhaps these thrifties seem incredible, but in some places, he is never stingy.
For scientific and efficient fitness, he will have a personal trainer five times a week, 280 yuan every hour, five hours a week. In order to master five foreign languages before the age of 30, Spanish teachers were invited to teach one-on-one in the past year, twice a week for 2 hours each time, and the hourly tuition fee was in 300 yuan. Every year, he gives gifts to students in Cool Ai English Morning Exercise Group, Reading Group and Fitness Group, and it has cost more than 100,000 yuan to send them. Mom and sister travel, and wherever they go, he will support them.
Writer Li Xinpin said that he meets and chats with musicians, architects, magazine editors, network engineers and other people in different fields regularly every month, because these people are very creative in their own fields, and at the same time, they have very different ways of looking at the world. Talking with them deeply is like standing on your own mountain and looking at so many hills in front of you. It is so unique and wonderful.
Ellie also invites friends from three different fields to dinner every week, which not only expands our thinking, but also promotes a lot of cooperation. The best investment is to invest in yourself, and the smartest investment is to invest in the future.
When people are alive, they must keep moving forward and keep pursuing under any circumstances. Some people say that the two signs of men's aging are the receding hairline and the increasing waistline. In fact, the sign of a man's real aging is that he feels that life will never change again, so he gives up studying and improving himself.
The world is so big, what kind of yourself you are depends entirely on your choice. Ellie quoted Naipaul as saying: The world is like this. Those insignificant people and women who make themselves insignificant have no place in this world.
Don't forget that people who are better than you work harder than you.
Thoreau said in Walden: I don't force others to adopt my way of life, but I hope everyone can find and pursue his own way very soberly, instead of imitating his father, mother or neighbor. Nine times out of ten, the life a person imagines will eventually become the life he leads, no matter how good or bad. Don't think about anything, and your life is destined to be the same.
