Because at less than 10 years old, she knocked on the door of business with her own ideas, and the girl became an outlier in the class. In the name of "freak", she lingered in school for 3 years, and she chose to quit school to start a business.
She is the world's youngest entrepreneur, and at the age of 13, she has pushed her software to children in more than 20 countries, and has been widely recognized by users and business people. Don't look at her young age, the psychological blows she has experienced can be a little bit.
What did a girl who grew up in doubt go through school? Is there anything worth learning from her entrepreneurial journey? In this issue, The Observation of Ziya Children's Fun Students will tell the story of Ye Rongyi, the representative of the success of youth entrepreneurship.
In the ridicule of his peers, he wanted to prove himself
In Hong Kong, when many people hear Ye's name, the words "little prodigy" flash in their minds. This girl has been willing to read since she was a child. After reading more, Ye Rong's attitude and standards of looking at things took shape early.
When other children are rolling around and forcing their parents for the sake of their beloved things, she does not feel that this is a good way to achieve the goal, but bluntly says that children will always make excessive demands because they are small and loved by their families.
In school, Ye was a girl with excellent grades but was not welcome. On the one hand, she has a concept of being too "mature" in the eyes of her peers, and on the other hand, she can't learn Mandarin at all.
Fluent in Cantonese and English, and even French, Ye can reach the point of simple communication with others. But in Chinese language classes, she couldn't read the texts well, couldn't integrate into the exchange meeting, and couldn't even write a few simplified characters.
Because she could not find the trick to learn Mandarin, the little girl became an outlier in the eyes of her classmates who was "Chinese, but could not speak Chinese well", and her personality gradually became inferior.
Watching the originally lively and cheerful daughter becoming more and more silent, Ye Rong's mother came to the school to reflect the situation to the teacher, but did not get any relief.
Since she can't change others, the mother wants to start from the source and let her daughter overcome the weaknesses that are ridiculed. She paid for an opportunity for Ye to participate in an international language school.
This school will carry out many activities in line with inland schools and international schools. Children from different countries or regions communicate together, using language as a medium, they are each other's teachers, students, and learning from each other.
Such an open and friendly communication environment allowed Ye Tonyun to gradually regain confidence, and his Mandarin expression ability gradually improved.
Although the period of study of joining the international school is not long, ye's progress is visible to the naked eye. The girls who returned to school quickly impressed the students with their active and confident performance in language classes.
Maybe he had lived under the guidance of others before, and Ye Rong had always had a knot in his heart.
So when she saw her mother browsing the relevant language cram schools on the Internet and complaining about the high cost, she thought that in various parts of Hong Kong, there were many students who endured gossip like her, they were troubled by various learning problems, and their parents were also affected.
So she thought that if there is a platform that can provide a variety of learning platforms for primary and secondary school students, so that they can quietly improve their academic performance and ability, and let parents spend less money.
Starting from her own problems, the 9-year-old girl came up with a good idea to start a business - to develop an application platform for children that allows them to learn and develop social skills online.
Family support + self-explanatory = towards success
Parents did not blindly attack the seemingly "unrealistic" ideas of their children, but told her that if you want to make achievements, you must make efforts, and it is difficult and important to put entrepreneurial ideas on paper and paper plans on the ground.
For several months immersed in books, Ye Rongyi sorted out his own ideas in various materials. It was hard to make a plan that I thought was complete, but I was "hit" by my parents.
They warn children not to imagine, but to seek facts to fit the audience.
Waking up the dreamer with a word, Ye Ran ran to many training institutions, posing as students to inquire; chatting with students in different schools to inquire about their opinions.
Although it was a bit hard, when she turned her heart plan into words again, her parents couldn't help but give a thumbs up and sent her to that year's youth entrepreneurship competition.
When she participated in the AIA Emerging Entrepreneur Challenge in 2016, Ye was only 10 years old, and this year, she did what was difficult for her peers to do - a paper plan book, in exchange for the champion and the best business award in the challenge.
Then an entrepreneur took a fancy to her entrepreneurial plan, and after a heartfelt conversation, he decided to contribute, and Ye's idea had a chance to become a reality.
Unlike the widespread recognition in society, the "little celebrities" who returned to school were once again alienated by their classmates. People who are different may not be understood. Ye was divided into "different categories" by the students.
In the eyes of the students, Ye Rongyi is no longer a "simple" student, she is a "social person", and what she does will not be what she understands. So the girls with good grades were thus excluded from the circle.
And this situation did not improve until Ye Rong entered junior high school. After all, it is just a teenager, who wants to be accepted by their peers all the time?
So the little girl began to force herself to pay attention to areas that she was not interested in, celebrity gossip, jewelry clothes. But the more I pay attention, the more bored I feel.
The 12-year-old girl, who didn't want to be so tired, wanted to let herself go, she accepted the title of "freak" she had been dubbed, and chose to get out of the environment that made her unhappy and take a break from school to teach herself at home.
Girls with super self-control do not have to deliberately do things they don't like, nor do they have to look at other people's faces and talk, study independently at home, and can also beat other students with grades in midterm exams.
At this time, entrepreneurship, which has been in the preparatory stage, has also been put on the agenda.
In her favorite circle, in the process of building a platform for communication with technical developers, this girl who had been troubled by being excluded understood what it meant to be "different and not conspiratorial".
It turns out that happiness is so simple, only need her to take a step back, on the way she wants to act, if there is a companion of the same age, maybe time is very worthy of happiness, but if not, it is not a regret in life.
Ignore the words of others and be strong inside
Ye Rong, who wanted to open up, was more determined in his career. She wants to develop an application platform that can solve children's language learning problems, teach children to "speak" in different languages, and communicate.
In the next half a year, Ye Rongyi continued to go deep into the industry to understand and improve his own plans. The planner made reasonable arrangements according to her ideas, and then confirmed by Ye Rong, and the technicians developed the APP.
Teenage girls are so organized and capable that it's hard to believe. With the joint efforts of everyone,
Minor Mynas software was officially born. This platform dedicated to children aged 6 to 16 is a bridge in Ye's heart, and she hopes that this software can connect children's hearts, enrich their lives, and reduce the chances of children with poor learning being discriminated against and isolated by others.
Until now, many people don't seem to know, but Minor Mynas has been widely circulated in some groups in more than 20 countries, and many children are communicating across borders in the language they like and want to learn.
The 13-year-old girl completed her entrepreneurial dream and is the youngest entrepreneur today. In the next plan, she decided to do something "bigger" while learning well — to push existing education forward and do something for the world's children.
Today, Ye Rongxuan also has no companionship with her peers, but with her hands and mind, coupled with hard practice, she has done things that many of her peers have never thought of.
Starting from his own problems, Ye Rongxian grasped the psychology of "poor students" who wanted to be "accepted". Because she had felt it, she was more motivated to make a difference.
When faced with the gossip and doubts of others, she tries to make changes, but finally finds that the front is not her way back, she can give up decisively, do not go with the flow, and do not deny herself.
The courage to adhere to a seemingly "abnormal" path, and a strong heart that can ignore the words and opinions of others, may be the key to Ye Rong's success.
Can you be like her, when hit by other people's words and unreasonable isolation, you can jump out of the "normal circle" defined by others and insist on being yourself? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
