Some time ago, Dong Yuhui was appointed vice president of New Oriental Cultural Tourism.
He auditioned in the East to do a live broadcast and was known by the public. Because of his erudite knowledge, his own affinity and down-to-earth image, he is widely liked by the audience. Since the start of the broadcast, his fans have soared from 0 all the way to more than 20 million.
Dong Yuhui once said that the period before dawn is the darkest, but as long as you stay up for a while, the sky will be bright. Only by experiencing darkness can we understand the value of light more deeply;Only by experiencing suffering can we understand the meaning of happiness more deeply.
Before a certain achievement can be achieved, there will be a dark time, and that is when life is transforming.
Dong Yuhui graduated from an ordinary university with a bachelor's degree and has been teaching at New Oriental since graduation.
In fact, New Oriental recruits a lot of teachers every year, why can he keep upgrading to fight monsters and eventually become one of the influential people?
From the book "Jump", you may be able to get some inspiration.
The master's black-box operation
Masters know how to borrowBorrow the power of the times, the power of the industry, and the power of the post
Different times have different characteristics and "trends" of the times.
For example, in the 21st century, if you want to expand your influence, you can't help but create a personal IP with the help of self-**.
The stories of Internet celebrities such as Li Jiaqi and Xiao Yang are examples.
When the short ** exploded, they sold goods through live broadcast, leading the live broadcast track and opening a "new era" of selling goods. And they have also become well-known Internet celebrities by the public.
Different industries have different development laws, and in fast-growing industries, it is easier for people to catch the ride of the times.
For example, in the new energy industry, if a person entered the new energy vehicle track a few years ago, then his current income has probably increased several times;Those who have always been working in traditional industries are prone to lose their competitiveness and are slowly replaced by AI.
Dong Yuhui's "out of the circle" can be said to have the advantage of the right time, place and people.
Through live broadcasts, he shared and disseminated what he had learned, known, and values to the public. It's "".Borrow the power of the times
The establishment of Oriental Selection relies on the strong platform and influence of New Oriental, and Dong Yuhui is a selling anchor in Oriental Selection, which has also gained a lot of fans and praise. It's "".Borrow the power of the platform
If he is still working as an English teacher, or just starting his own live lectures, then his number of fans and influence are probably not the same order of magnitude as now.
Learn online
One person's learning is very limited, and many people can help each other think, stimulate creativity, and go further.
There is an example of this in the book Jump:
A student reads a book and asks the professor how the book is, and the professor evaluates it truthfully and points out the shortcomings of the book.
After that, the student wrote a letter to the author, expressing what inspired him from the book and what needed to be improved.
He felt that the professor's "comments" were very pertinent, so he mentioned "improvements" in the letter.
Later, the author of the book was deeply inspired and also expressed his gratitude to the student, which made a deep impression on him.
Taking a person's point of view and then applying what they have learned to the next time they learn is called online learning.
Dong Yuhui and Zhang Chaoyang have a conversation about physics.
Zhang Chaoyang saidThe structure of our brain is a life of labor, so we have to live to learn, toss and do things
Dong Yuhui said that human beings are born to suffer, born to work, and his physiological structure determines that he will only be truly happy if he does this.
The two of them have a similar understanding of the brain, which means that the brain has a specific structure, and the structure determines that only by working hard, studying, and thinking can they feel meaning and happiness.
When talking about the problem of efficient learning, Zhang Chaoyang mentioned that it is necessary to have a certain interest and curiosity about things, and then be able to ask questions and deduce them step by step through the questionsThen let go of your fears and anxieties and trust that you can do it.
He himself did just that, because he was curious and interested in physics, so he kept learning. Later, he started a physics class and published a book called "Zhang Chaoyang's Physics Lesson".
Many people think that they are only suitable for studying literature or science, Zhang Chaoyang believes that people's brains are the same, and not learning well is largely due to the blows of the people or environment around them.
A better way to learn is:Feynman Method, ieAfter learning a piece of knowledge, tell others what you have learned
That's how online learning works.
Systems thinking
There is such a story that a man asked Confucius how many seasons there are in a year, and Zigong was also beside him, and he immediately said that there are four seasons in a year.
The man said no, there are three seasons in a year.
Zigong just wanted to argue with him, but Confucius motioned for him to stop and said to the man, "You're right, it's three seasons. ”
After the man left, Zigong asked Confucius, "There are obviously four seasons in a year, why does the teacher say three seasons?"”
Confucius said, "Look at the man dressed in green clothes, it should be changed by grasshoppers." Grasshoppers die in spring and autumn, **Ever seen winter?He doesn't have winter in his head at all, so he's a three-season person, and it's useless for you to discuss it with him for three days and three nights. ”
What Confucius meant was that people who are not on the same level of thought cannot understand what the other person is saying. As the saying goes, summer insects can't be icy.
This era,People who don't understand the system, like the three seasons in the story, can't see the truth and facts clearly
This can't help but be reminiscent of a scene in "The Way of Heaven".
Once, **Ying went to a small shop for breakfast. After the dish was served, **Ying gave the money to the boss.
After breakfast, ** Ying just wanted to leave, and the boss said to him: "Alas, you haven't paid yet." ”
Ding paused for a few seconds, then took out the money for a meal from his pocket and gave it to the boss.
Most people will tell their boss that they have already paid for such a thing. Why didn't **Ying "reason" with the boss?
Because he knows that one is useless, and the other is a waste of time.
The small shop owner's words obviously want to ask for another meal, and if you argue with the other party, there is no need.
Systems thinking is to see a deeper layer in addition to the surface layer
It is common knowledge that Confucius knows that there are four seasons in a year, but after arguing with the other party, it is likely to be fruitless.
*Ying knows that the shopkeeper has malicious intentions towards him. When he is asked to pay for another meal, if he argues with the other party, he will not only fall into a fearless dispute, but also lead to emotional exhaustion and waste of words.
The master looks at the problem systematically.
Not long ago, Dong Yuhui's "small composition" incident swept the Internet, and everyone knew that Sun Dongxu was dissatisfied with Dong because of Dong Gonggao, so he provoked an incident in the live broadcast room.
Later, Yu Minhong and Dong Yuhui came forward to calm down**, and Sun also apologized.
And before that, just when everyone thought that the board of directors would leave Oriental Selection, he chose to continue to stay in Oriental Selection.
Dong didn't quarrel with Sun, he chose to understand. Because he understands that he can endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky.
If he and Sun had a conflict, it would be bad for him and for Dongfang Selection.
Everyone knows what happened later, and in just two days, Dong Yuhui was promoted to three positions.
Inner cultivation
Inner cultivation refers to,See the world open and focused
For example, you have two jobs in front of you, the first job, your salary is 9,000 yuan, and your colleague is 7,000 yuan;The second is your salary of 11,000 yuan and your colleague's salary is 12,000 yuan. How do you choose?
It turns out that many people will choose the first one. Why?
Because a lot of people have a cognitive bias -I can't see the good of others
A circle that makes people feel comfortable when they are their heads;And if a person recognizes that there are many people in this circle who are better than him, he will feel inferior and small.
This kind of non-open-mindedness makes it easy for people to attack.
However, the future must belong to the openers.
In this day and age, connectivity has become extremely important, and connections between countries and people need to be connected.
A master must be open to seeing the world.
Just like Dong Yuhui, in the face of Sun's behavior, he chose to understand the complexity of human nature.
So, how do masters see the world?
First of all,The master looks at himself, dull and funny
In this fast-changing world, everyone is "getting ahead". But the master knows that at this time, it is better not to move blindly, and it is more important to see the feasibility of the matter clearly, and to think about the trade-offs before attacking.
Secondly,Looking at interpersonal relationships, simple kindness can provoke
Simplicity is logical clarity. People can get their own point of view in a short period of time.
Kindness, that is, the expression of kindness. The most important thing in the relationship between people is win-win cooperation. If others work well with you, you must do it without betrayal.
can be provoked, that is, there are principles and bottom lines. If someone else does something that goes against their principles and bottom line, be able to fight back.
In the same few years, some people's growth is slow, or even in circles.
And some people have crossed over to higher levels, risen to higher positions, earned more wealth, and lived a better life.
That's what the master isThe growth of a master is not linear, but a continuous leap and upgrade.
Dong Yuhui is an example, he read a lot of books and did a lot of accumulation when he was unknown. As soon as the opportunity came, he seized it, and since then he has been known to the public.
May you and I be able to make a leap in the long river of time.
