People from Wenzhou, China are known as the richest man in China, and their favorite words are: "I'd rather sleep on the floor than be a boss" or "I'd rather do business with a monthly income of 1000 than work with a monthly income of 3,000". These concepts are believed to have been warned by elders in their lives and have become the principles in their hearts.
These principles are some ideas, which are very different from the thinking ideas in many other places. Even if there are similar choices now, I estimate that many friends are just the opposite of their own choices. But this idea is very advanced, and it is this idea that makes Wenzhou people different and become the richest people in China.
"Thinking determines the way out"! ! ! Many people have heard this sentence, but they forget it in a blink of an eye, preferring to work for others. Many high-quality students in the university are either holding a salary of one to two thousand a month or just graduated from graduate school and are struggling to find a job.
If you are determined to start your own business, you will be more successful than those who are admitted to a master's degree or a doctor's degree. Let's talk about Wenzhou people and Sichuan people in the 1980s. In the 1980s, Wenzhou farmers and Sichuan farmers were the first to wander. The way Wenzhou farmers wander in China is to repair umbrellas, pens, iron pots, or selling groceries. In short, they wandered around. The way for Sichuan farmers to make a living is to go directly to Guangdong to work. In the 1980s, those who dared to travel were brave people. Due to underdeveloped information and inconvenient transportation, people are deeply afraid of the outside world. Both Sichuanese and Wenzhou people have courage and boldness, but because of their different ideas, they have embarked on different ways to get rich. Twenty-nine years later, Wenzhou farmers have become the richest people in China. They have mastered the most advanced business skills in China, and their wealth can even enable their descendants to go abroad to do business in Europe. However, the first generation of migrant workers among Sichuan farmers has withdrawn from the historical stage. Most of them continue to live a poor life in their hometown in Sichuan, while their younger generations follow in the footsteps of their parents and continue to flock to Guangzhou to accept the cruel exploitation of their bosses and become the poorest class in society. What does this mean? Because parents' choices are different, it not only affects themselves, but also affects future generations! The hard work of Wenzhou farmers has completely freed themselves and their descendants from poverty, while the hard work of Sichuan farmers has brought endless sorrow and poverty to future generations. There is an economist among Zhejiang people, who is very remarkable. He summed up the work philosophy of Zhejiang people: "I would rather be an entrepreneurial wolf than a working dog." Of course, this statement is extreme, and many friends at work don't want to listen to it, but if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
In order to seek freedom, wolves prefer independent personality and free thinking. They run on the grassland every day, kill cattle and sheep at will, enjoy all the delicious food provided by nature as much as possible, lie on the grass after dinner and enjoy the sunshine and free air. They are the owners of the grassland and have sufficient dignity. However, when the cold comes, they must learn to resist the cold of snowstorms, learn to look for prey under thick snowdrifts, always endure the pain of hunger, and always worry that they will freeze to death. A wolf's life is half seawater and half flame.
Dog life is just the opposite. Usually, dogs can only eat leftovers left by their owners, and they are called around by their owners. There is no freedom, no dignity, only begging, and the dog's life is guaranteed. Although they never eat anything delicious, when winter comes, they don't worry about hunger and freezing. They thanked their masters and vowed to be loyal to them all their lives. Even if their owners abuse these dogs at will, most of them dare not say a word. Compromise is a dog's label. For the sake of their stable rice bowls and fixed rations in their later years, they will recognize everything!
If we compare people in real life, it is estimated that most of us live a dog-like life, stable and comfortable, but never have enough to eat. We want to leave our master's kennel, but we lack the courage to cross the rubicon! I feel that young people's career choices in reality are mostly working dogs, not entrepreneurial wolves. Many friends may say, where does a fresh student have the capital and experience to start a business? The best choice is to work in the company for a few years, reserve some experience and funds, and have the opportunity to start your own business after a few years.
In fact, this idea proved to be very wrong. After working in a college student unit for several years, not only can you not earn the money you need to start a business, but you can't learn the experience and skills of starting a business. What you learn in part-time jobs is basically useless for starting a business, because they have different perspectives, different ways of thinking and different experiences. It can only be said that the only thing you can improve after working for a few years is the technical skills of your work, and the last thing you need to start a business is technical skills.
What is even more frightening is that after working for several years, young people generally lose their passion for starting a business, lose the courage of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and become more and more addicted to the unit. Later, the idea of starting a business can only stay in their hearts forever and become a permanent regret. When I was fired by my boss in my 40 s, I regretted why I didn't come out to start my own business 20 years ago! So is it high to be an entrepreneurial wolf? As long as you have the idea of being an entrepreneurial wolf, even if you only have 100 yuan in your pocket, you can still succeed in starting a business! How much money do Wenzhou people have in their pockets when they come out to do business early? I thought my first money was earned by trading eggs for iron pots. You only have 100 yuan in your pocket. At least you can set up a stall to sell socks and gloves in winter and pineapples in summer. When you have enough money, you can have a barbecue or something. Anyway, if you have less money, you can also embark on the road of entrepreneurship. The key is whether you want to be an entrepreneurial wolf or not. In order to seek freedom, wolves prefer independent personality and free thinking. They run on the grassland every day, kill cattle and sheep at will, enjoy all the delicious food provided by nature as much as possible, lie on the grass after dinner and enjoy the sunshine and free air. They are the owners of the grassland and have sufficient dignity. However, when the cold comes, they must learn to resist the cold of snowstorms, learn to look for prey under thick snowdrifts, always endure the pain of hunger, and always worry that they will freeze to death. A wolf's life is half seawater and half flame. Maybe this is Wolf Road, and the life of working and starting a business must be different. After a long time, the personalities of migrant workers and entrepreneurs will become more and more different.
We ask ourselves that friends who have worked for a long time will feel more worried from time to time, afraid of the strange world outside, afraid of the danger of unemployment, and become more and more sensitive and fragile inside. The mentality is not only gradually tired and lazy, but also the whole person has no spirit and boldness of vision, so he has to comfort himself with Changle and indifferent to fame and fortune. However, life is becoming more and more mediocre, the financial burden of families is getting heavier and heavier, and the education of houses and children is becoming an economic rope around their necks, which is getting tighter and tighter. They have to adjust their mentality and gradually adapt to the positioning of urban reptiles. They are all mediocre people, so why bother? Getting rich is someone else's business. We don't have that kind of life.
The first thing I am most afraid of is hearing the news that the company is inefficient and will lay off employees. The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the leaders, insist on learning flattery, and do as the Romans do. My mind was numb and I had to follow the crowd. After all, the job is in the hands of the leader or boss. If you want to get rid of it, you must get rid of it. The second thing I am most afraid of is watching myself get older and older, but my work skills have not been improved. Although my old salary depends more and more on my qualifications, watching those new young college students do vigorous work, as long as I get a little salary, the boss's knocking will echo in my ears. Watching young people eat less and do more, you old revolutionaries are getting worse and worse. No wonder, the result of working life is depreciation with the increase of age, especially in the age group of 40-50, which is simply the most tragic stage of career. You are always on the edge of the abyss, like a minefield, often laid off and unemployed.
Some people say that the past 10 year was the peak period for blue-collar workers to be laid off, and the future 10-20 years will be the peak period for white-collar workers to be laid off. Are you an elite who went to college? With the continuous progress of society, your knowledge structure, physical quality and professional concept are already inferior to those of newly graduated college students. The boss is more realistic and will definitely take the lead in laying off those white-collar workers aged 40-50 in times of crisis. So you have a stable job now, and you feel safe. In fact, it's like pressing a time bomb around you. /kloc-will explode in 0/0 years. At that time, I'm afraid the pain and cost of your unemployment will be cruel 100 times than it is now.
A person's success in starting a business depends on the three quotients, which are what we usually call IQ, EQ and IQ. But for a real talent, the importance of his three quotients should be arranged in this order: IQ first, EQ second and IQ third. At present, the so-called talents trained by China education are all very one-sided, only superior in IQ, while EQ and IQ are not included at all. The crowd eliminated by the school may contain a large number of management talents, so the education in China, especially higher education, is to a great extent backward. Most of the graduate products produced are mediocre people with high scores and low energy. Although smart, but timid, unsociable, born with low social skills. "
Smart people are often timid, and brave people are often not very smart. Another interesting phenomenon is that the more people read, the smarter they are, but the more people read, the less courageous they are, and they like to think twice before doing anything. People who read little like to act before thinking, but those who act strongly are often the first to succeed. In terms of IQ, the people with the highest level of intelligence in China are often the so-called masters, doctors and professors. Most of them work and live in colleges and universities, but the overall income level of these so-called smartest people in China is not high. At present, the normal annual income of doctors in colleges and universities is 50 thousand, the master's degree is 40 thousand, and the professors are mostly less than 80 thousand. This is a phenomenon worth studying: the income of the smartest group is far from the highest, even the senior white-collar workers in the company are not as good as it is. Finally, I want to draw a conclusion: no matter how good you study, it's useless! In primary and secondary schools, studying well is to get into a good university, and studying well in a university is to find a good job, but the social reality is that people who study well have low professional income. So I think the education of children, at least my children. I won't emphasize how well he studies, as long as he can keep up with the mainstream. But I asked him to have courage, courage, and cultivate courage from an early age. Secondly, I asked him to make friends, be good at making friends with all kinds of children, and try to be a child that everyone likes. In other words, I will focus on the cultivation of children's bravery quotient and emotional intelligence, and will not pay special attention to the cultivation of IQ. On the contrary, today's parents care nothing but study, and even deprive their children of their freedom rights, prevent them from making friends and going out to play, and ask them to be obedient. Such children must grow up to be smart cowards and selfish ghosts! Back to the original topic, is it work or entrepreneurship?
In fact, on the surface, the real risk of starting a business is much higher than that of working, but in the long run, the risk brought by working is higher. The risk of starting a business is to lose the expected income of working in recent years, and even some of the money you borrowed after bankruptcy is gone. But after all, you are young, you can learn nutrients and experience from failure, and your business level and ability are getting higher and higher. After you gradually integrate into the group of business people, your vision and experience will accumulate over time, and there will always be a breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change. As long as you really enter the door of business, your future career will basically be smooth sailing. The more money you earn, the more wealth you accumulate, and your value can be maximized. On the contrary, part-time jobs have been going on, and these years have been very safe, but you are actually depreciating and shrinking, not getting stronger. The longer you work, the more guilty and timid you will become. 10 years later, you may be fired and laid off if you are not careful. How big is the risk? Ideas determine how you choose, choices determine which path you take, and which path you take determines your future life process and results.
The ancients also said: "Men are afraid of choosing the wrong line and women are afraid of marrying the wrong person" is actually very meaningful. There are 365 lines in the world, in fact, all lines are ok, but the same person, choosing to do business and choosing to go to work, will be very different in the future, really too big! If you choose a part-time job, you may be absolutely lucky, and you can be a super gold collar in the future, with an annual income of only a few hundred thousand. If you are unlucky to be a low-level white-collar worker, you may only have one or two thousand yuan a month. It is estimated that your family can't afford to eat pork because of the price increase of pork, and it is estimated that your family eats fewer eggs because of the price increase of eggs. Even if you live such a humble life, you still have a constant fear of unemployment.
If you choose to start a business, you may be absolutely lucky. You can be a rich man in China in the future. You can donate several hope primary schools at will, and you can also enjoy golf and private yachts from time to time. If you can't do business, you can only open a grocery store, and even sell tofu and cabbage in the vegetable market, you can earn one or two thousand yuan, which is similar to a low-level white-collar worker. But you are not afraid of unemployment, because people come to buy tofu and cabbage every day, which is better than white-collar life. Visible different ideas, different choices; Different results, different lives.
