What is it like to study an EMBA at Peking University Development Institute?
This enduring problem is that every student who is studying EMBA at the National Development Institute over the years will be cued.
And obviously, at this moment, the warmest, strongest, and most authentic answer can be offered - 101 new students from the EMBA class of the National Development Institute in 2021.
After more than a month of school, I took two hardcore courses, joined N study groups and interest groups, and met 101 like-minded souls. What kind of pursuit brought them together from all over the world? What kind of experience makes them lament that they have found a "spiritual home"?
It all starts with their "keywords":
Key word one: learning
Why come to The National Development Institute to study EMBA? Almost all of the students' answers are two identical words: study.
And why learn?
Some say, because of confusion. Enterprise development encounters bottlenecks, but their existing knowledge system, management level and cognitive level, but they are unable to solve the problem from the root;
Some say, because of anxiety. I have been running and never looked back, but when I look back, I find that I have long been with the external world that is not changing rapidly, and I can't see the development law of the macro trend.
More people say that in order to go to a higher place in life. 101 EMBA students, each of whom is a social elite with outstanding performance and outstanding achievements, returned to Peking University to study at this time, although they shouldered different missions, but what they pursued was to see the bigger world, climb higher mountains, and have more fellow travelers.
Obviously, in the eyes of the students, the National Development Institute is a place of "real learning" and a place where learning is "really useful".
Although among these 101 new students, there are entrepreneurs who have achieved fame, professional managers who have worked hard all the way, and successors of family businesses, but when they come to the National Development Institute and carry the same school bag, everyone silently recites the sentence: "The centuries-old family in the world is nothing but accumulation of virtue, and the first good thing in the world is to read."
In order to learn, they came to the classroom at 7 o'clock in the morning to occupy the first row of seats, in order to learn, they ended a busy day's work, and also spontaneously formed a study group to discuss homework, in order to learn, each of them set a strict KPI for themselves:
Xu Baoyi, who started to do enterprise informatization and consulting management in 2004, said that he came to the National Development Institute to return to the furnace for further study, to see the difficulties encountered by enterprises, and to find solutions.
Li Wei, an engineer who is now doing a communication network, said that although he is not a bully, he is willing to learn and is willing to learn, hoping to learn himself through hard work.
Zhang Dabin, who is engaged in the office park and tea industry, is even more frank and willing to spend more time studying, because he is more and more aware that learning knowledge is the happiest thing.
Keyword two: professional
Although management knowledge is an unknown treasure trove for many students, each of E21's 101 classmates brings their own treasure. The brightest thing is their profession.
E21 students come from all walks of life in the whole society, finance, IT Internet, biomedicine is the largest number of classes engaged in the industry, always with their own spark to arouse the enthusiasm for discussion among students.
Different corporate backgrounds such as private enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and state-owned enterprises also make the students' underlying knowledge and communication styles different and full of tension.
No matter what industry they are engaged in, they can become the representatives of the industry and the elite of society, and they rely on professional strength.
Li Chunlin, a student from Jiaduobao, began to engage in the FMCG industry from graduation, all the way from a grassroots marketer to the president of the company, 24 years of ups and downs, relying on two words: focus.
After graduation, Tang Tao, a student who has been working in a central military enterprise and engaged in overseas aviation public utilities, services and trade business, focuses on the benefit of local governments and people in countries along the Belt and Road and key countries, and is a firm practitioner of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Song Na, a student engaged in financial work, has accumulated 16 years of work experience in wealth management, and the team has accumulated assets under management of more than 10 billion, and each business is a professional accumulation.
In the past, relying on "professional people to do professional things", many students went to the head of the industry, and the next thing they wanted to broaden was the boundary, to see more underlying laws and operating characteristics of the world.
Keyword three: cross-border
Why can one succeed? The old saying has clouds: Don't wait for idleness.
Translated to now, there is a word that has been better annotated:
Dare to toss and turn, dare to cross borders.
Looking at the professional resumes of E21 101 students, you will applaud their turn countless times and sigh for their crossover, because each of us knows that giving up the past and starting over requires far more than courage, but also courage and strength.
Li Zhiyong, a student who does artificial intelligence business, said that he is a realistic idealist, who has been tossing and turning for many years, and will also experience the darkest moment when the idealist fell into the ditch, but will not forget to look up at the stars, have faith, and eventually cross the gap between technology and commercialization.
Jiang Cunlong, a student who has been engaged in court work for 25 years, went all the way from a grassroots clerk to a hospital leader, resigned and transformed into a human resources industry. Because of the incompatibility of industry changes, he had the desire to come to Peking University to study management.
And now The experience of Yang Chengkui, who is now doing investment, is even more cross-border, from an oil engineer to an investment field, from energy investment to medical investment. He has been in close contact with at least 2,000 startups in 8 years and has accumulated rich industry experience.
Whether it is preparing for transformation, in transformation, or successful transformation of students, they fully confirm that sentence:
Anything is possible, as long as you are willing to take that step.
Keyword four: persistence
If you ask the students of E21, what are the qualities they value the most? The answer that many people will give you is: persistence.
Almost everything in the world begins with love, succeeds in luck, and finally persists.
If it were not for persistence, 101 students would not have zeroed themselves out after they had achieved social achievements, started again, and changed the originally predetermined trajectory of their lives.
If it were not for the persistence, the 36 students from other places in the class would not have traveled from Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, Northeast and other places to the National Development Institute and Chengze Garden every month and night.
If it weren't for persistence, there wouldn't have been countless spontaneous course study groups, and countless after-hours industry sharing would have continued to be in full swing late at night.
E21's 101 classmates, with an average age of 39.5 years, 40% of whom were women, each of them continued their education while working and caring for their children.
The mother of the second child, Wu Jiali from Jilin Province, on behalf of many female students, shared with everyone her motivation to study at the National Development Institute, she said, "My eldest daughter took the middle school entrance examination this year, I want to work hard with her, study well with all the students, and also make a good example for her and encourage her to study at Peking University." ”
Persistence is a kind of perseverance, but who says persistence does not become a motivation to pass on the torch?
Key word five: treasure
Without walking into the treasure house, you will never guess how much treasure is hidden inside.
Similarly, without going near every one of E21's classmates, you'll never guess how much of their hidden talent and charm are.
Although the work is busy and the school is heavy, less than a month after the start of the school, the students have found their own spiritual home.
Zhao Liang, the chairman of the union who sings the best in the pharmaceutical industry in Beijing, Zhang Wenyue, who calls himself "amateur singer professional host", Xu Yi, who has studied Muay Thai for 6 years and likes sports, Yang Jiaxi, the fastest tennis coach, Yao Yan, a writer who wrote online bestsellers, and Tan Wei, who set a flag to run a marathon, all made everyone sigh, and the original "versatile" friends were around.
Pieces of treasure are stacked together, and the soil can also open up fragrance, not to mention, this is the pilot station of life.
"What is it like to study an EMBA at a Northern Development Institute?"
These five keywords represent the answers of 101 students and the common pursuit of 101 students.
The world is so big, I want to see it, and the people who eventually come together must be attracted to the same field.
Get rid of the shackles of impetuosity and confusion, pursue the joy of pure learning, witness the thickness of knowledge and the freedom of thought, and insist on persistence that is worth adhering to...
What is vision? Being with the best people is the greatest vision.
“
The two-year journey of the National Development Institute has just begun, and there is still a long way to go waiting for each new student.
Just use this tibetan poem created by E21 students at the beginning of the school ice-breaking activity to add a footnote to the answer to this question:
The sound of books is accompanied by love
Run wind and drizzle to the grace of the teacher
It is like a long moon shining on the flower mud
Ze and fragrance shine together
Look forward to two years later, to answer this classic question again, everyone can become the leader of "the north in the brain, the big in the heart" in the subtle, as the poem said, and because of this journey of the National Development Institute, there is light in the eyes, a sword in the hand, and a heat in the heart...
