But since then, looking at my peers around me, I have a doubt: with so many peers, five years later, 10 years later, if only a few people can be leaders, where will others go?
We will always see some successful people around us. For example, a classmate in my high school actually became the highest CEO of Alibaba. His wife's classmate founded a seven-day hotel chain, a subordinate, and later left his job to become a large catering boss. ...............................................................................................................
Most people may have been sunk: a very powerful friend resigned from IBM and went to the United States to study for a doctorate, saying that he would become a professor at an American university, but he was never heard from again; Those girls in the junior high school alumni group seem to be fooling around without working, and of course some people are still relatively junior insurers; There are also former colleagues who have jumped to IBM and Inspur for several years and are still looking for a job not long ago; Others go home to do their own small business; Of course, it is better in the civil service. Even if you are not a director, it is not difficult to mix researchers into retirement according to their age.
Is a person over 40 a despised age? However, many studies show that 40 years old is the most mature stage in theory. Why don't most people walk in the forefront of society?
I don't have any data at hand to infer, but from my one-sided understanding, there are two points worthy of attention.
The first is a healthy body. Look at those who are still healthy and energetic. Zhong Nanshan, 85, can also do more than a dozen pull-ups to show his muscles. Ren exercises every day. He also set up a health department and "Huawei Chief Health and Safety Information Officer" in Huawei to supervise the health of employees. It can be seen that his emphasis on health has already risen to the strategic level.
Recalling talking to Mr. Lu, CEO of Alibaba at that time, he said that he got up at 4 o'clock every day, and I was thinking, how to eat on such a day? I have an energetic old friend. He said that during his doctoral thesis, he slept about 10 hours a week-pay attention to a week! Some people's physical indicators are better than the average person, but slower than the average person. I thought that people in the workplace rely on IQ, but the fact may be that they rely on healthy bodies! Of course, there are also statistical studies that show that IQ is directly proportional to the overall athletic ability.
The second is the ability of lifelong learning, which I am still a little confident about. Two days ago, my son sighed with me: "Fortunately, my father is not like my classmate." I asked why. He said that at the class reunion, everyone was spitting and laughing at how backward their parents were and how ignorant they were of new technologies and new ways of playing. On the contrary, I told him two days ago what a hyperuniverse is. If you don't know how to make a living in the metauniverse in the future, you will be punished.
I'm still curious, one of the purposes is that one day I won't be looked down upon by this smelly boy. Of course, without lifelong learning, the elderly in Zhong Nanshan would not be fighting in the front line today. Lifelong learning is a habit, or a long-term doctrine.
Why do you think most people over 40 have disappeared? I look forward to your opinions.
