How to avoid being superior?

I've been listening to Wu Jun's Google methodology recently, and it's instructive to talk about this topic.

The reason why most of us find it difficult to achieve something is related to our poor eyesight, so if we want to be an accomplished person or a valuable person, we must overcome our poor eyesight.

Teacher Wu Jun gave some methods, and I think we can do some deliberate exercises according to these methods, which will definitely improve ourselves.

How to avoid becoming a person with low eyes and high skills;

First: see if you have done a good job in the beginning and the end.

Always pay attention to how many things you have accomplished, not how many things you have started.

Second: See if you are doing better than the last one.

I did this not to show that I still have room for improvement, but to show that my ability is improving and I can do more and more things.

Understand the relationship between cognition and execution.

Cognition is our understanding of things and our judgment of the future; Execution is whether a thing can be overcome and finally completed.

The relationship between the two is that if you can judge that you are doing something valuable and promising, but if you can't stick to it, then even if your judgment is correct, it is meaningless.

Tong Hongwen of Alibaba, from the front desk to the later vice president, is a good example.

On the contrary, if you can stick to one thing and have enough patience and perseverance to finish it, but if it has no future, it is meaningless.

As explained by Ceng Ming, Chairman of the Academic Committee of Alibaba, if your industry and company are in a downward trend, it is difficult to achieve great success even if you work hard and persist.

Extremely speaking, if a country has been in a state of war, most people in this country will find it difficult to live a happy life.

Finally, let's take a look at Wu Jun's principles:

First: Doing one thing at a time seems clumsy, but there are few mistakes.

Second, establish a "boundary thinking" to know where your boundaries are, clarify what you want to do, list feasible plans, and implement them according to the plan.

Third: Manage your energy effectively.

Teacher Wu Jun's first principle is "less is more", and the second "boundary thinking" is about cognition and execution, that is, knowing where your abilities and opportunities are, and then persisting and working hard within that range.

Third, managing your energy effectively is the basis of the above two items.
