Reading for a Living: Wang Zhigang's Career Planning Insights

Luo Fat, who listened to "Get" last week, said that this week,"Inspiration Club" wanted to invite a heavyweight guest to talk about strategic norms, so I checked the history of this guest, and it was admirable after reading it. In order to be able to understand his speech, I deliberately found several books to read, one of which is "Making a Living: Wang Zhigang on Career Planning".

Career planning feels like a big word, since I never thought about it, at most it is a year plan. Reading the preface to the book, which was published in 2007 at Peking University in a series of lectures on career planning, attracted my interest even more. I wanted to see how he planned his careers for Peking University students.

With this question in mind, it took two days to brush up on the book. I thought this book would be boring, teaching you how to plan your life, what to do in college, what to do after graduation, what to do at thirty, what to do at forty... But after I finished reading it, I didn't have this sense of boredom, but I felt like the neighbor's uncle Pulling a family routine, telling his own experience and life feelings, and soon combined with his own actual situation, mao Sai suddenly opened.

For example, he said that some relatives and friends of the child, after hard work to go to the college entrance examination to get a good score, and finally do not know what they want to learn, either apply for a popular major, or apply for a more basic major, and you can transfer anything in the future.

Isn't this the situation when I volunteered for the college entrance examination that year? I have been reading books for twelve years from elementary school to junior high school and high school, and I am eighteen or nineteen years old, my life has passed a quarter, and I don't know what I want to do, I don't know where my interests are, is this a terrible thing? And it's not a one-person problem, it's a group of people's problems, and it's a generation's problem. What he said immediately caught my heart.

When I saw him say that "those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment", I suddenly felt that I was shocked by electricity, and I couldn't help but shiver, and the mystery that had been troubled for a long time was suddenly solved. Yes, a person lives in an era, moves within the scope of a region, if you do not know which direction this society is going to develop, if you do not know the value of this area in the future, it is difficult for you to have an accurate grasp of the life path you should choose.

He also said that "the value of strategy is foresight", which also inspired me a lot. You have already seen the future direction of development before others see the opportunity, and you will definitely be able to seize the opportunity before others. Following others can be very tiring, and it is difficult to surpass others. The ancients said that in war, we should "know each other and never lose a hundred battles", and the same is true for career planning. You see yourself clearly, this is the "self-knowledge" kung fu we said earlier, know what you want to do, determine the goal, and then go step by step.

Life is a game, you don't plan your life, life has to plan you. If in the past people faced a pain that could not be chosen because of lack and limitation, today people encounter the confusion of being difficult to choose because of abundance and temptation. A person's confusion is a person's pain, and the confusion of a group or even a generation is a social crisis. How to maximize self-release in a limited life, live happily and fully, and not take or take fewer detours? In the face of many choices, how to grasp the general trend, conform to the law, and actively plan the road of life, rather than passively letting the fate lead the way, has become a proposition that people cannot avoid today.

Although we ordinary people cannot reach the realm of Teacher Wang Zhigang who will always be in the seller's market, we can learn from him to be in the same stream and not to be polluted, to be with the light and not to be in harmony with the dust, to always maintain a sober mind, and not to sell his soul for the sake of profit. Plan your own life path and bravely move forward in the face of the dawn.
