Never read books together.

20 15, a Yale professor who has served for 24 years published a book. Since its publication, this book has aroused extensive discussion in American society and quickly became a hot topic sought after by major media, and many domestic media have also reported it.

This book is called Excellent Sheep. The author believes that American elite education has fallen into a misunderstanding. In contrast, many non-rattan students can attack the city and plunder the land on the road of life and achieve themselves in all aspects.

Most teachers and parents want their children to be smart, behave themselves, be admitted to prestigious schools and reach the peak of their lives. But what kind of experience will it be if there is a smart child at home who is never satisfied with being a "sheep"?

There was once a "Xiong Haizi" who was smart enough to always get high marks or even advanced placement, but he never obeyed in class and often played pranks:

Borrowed a classmate's eraser and cut it into pieces to blow the classmate's face when returning it;

Caught the little water snake and put it in the classmate's pencil box, which directly shocked the classmate, and the class was in chaos and had to stop classes;

I often grab my classmates' clothes and take them home every time for my mother to mend them.

There have been frequent fights since junior high school, and parents are often called to school. ...

This "Xiong Haizi" was finally admitted to a prestigious school, but he never became an "excellent sheep".

Looking back on his growth years later, he decided to write down these experiences and give them to many parents who had a headache for his Xiong Haizi.

So this is subversive. The author is Zhou.

Many Xiong Haizi around us, some choose to work in the south, some choose to accept their fate and never be confused again, but Zhou has brought Xiong Haizi's momentum into the Internet.

As a subversive in the Internet field, he redefined "micro-innovation" and proposed to start with details, focus on strategy, and finally change the market structure with continuous innovation.

In the first issue of the book Evolution, I was lucky enough to invite Zhou to discuss at close range how a teenager who had been a headache to teachers and parents grew up to be a giant who subverted the Internet.

Stubborn curiosity

In the interview, one word was repeatedly mentioned: curiosity.

When a person does something, there are often many driving forces. One is driven by vanity, the other is driven by profit, and the other is driven by curiosity.

In junior high school, Zhou was a famous mixture of "learning scum and learning tyrants". Those who are not interested in themselves are dismissive, but they are full of curiosity about their favorite foods.

He is a famous "curious baby". Since he learned about computers, the world seems to have opened another magical door. When he was in junior high school, he taught himself the Basic language specially designed for beginners, and begged his family to subscribe to children's computer newspaper.

Since then, he has made clear his ideal: to spend his whole life developing computer software and making a product that can change the world.

Habits formed in adolescence are often useful for life. The lofty ideal driven by the curiosity and curiosity of enlightenment in childhood is the most promising pursuit of life.

Combined with his own growth experience, Zhou shared an experience:

"Cultivating children is not only when they are young, but also when they grow up. Everyone is talking about the passion of starting a business and the enthusiasm for new things. I think it's all based on curiosity It is precisely because of this curiosity that children can grow up, but many of us lose our curiosity when we reach adulthood, that is, we lose this passion and enthusiasm. "

Coincidentally, another outstanding lifelong learner, Feng Lun, chairman of Vantone Holdings, calls himself "old boys who is always curious": "Curiosity is an important driving force for human beings to go further, while freedom and creativity are inexhaustible driving forces for life."

Epoch-making inventions and subversive business models are often regarded as whimsical at the beginning of their birth. Behind these "whimsies" is a stubborn curiosity: I must try. What will happen if I do this?

So there was Henry Ford's car, the Wright brothers' plane, Akio Morita's Sony Walkman, Jobs' Apple and Musk's Tesla. ...

If your "Xiong Haizi" still has a strong curiosity about the world, he should thank you as a parent, who has always protected his "curiosity".

Strong self-study ability

Since he taught himself the Basic language, Zhou has shown a strong self-learning ability.

The first time he made money with computer programming software can be traced back to 30 years ago. The fortune-telling software he designed can earn more than 100 yuan every day.

It's 1 987, and the average monthly salary is just a little more than 1 000, and Zhou has just graduated from high school.

Similarly, since childhood, he taught himself the Basic language, and Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, made a game called Blastar, which sold for $500. He was only 12 years old that year.

Zhou Ba's self-study ability extended to the stage of starting a business, which also affected his concept of starting a business.

"This is what I said to many young people today. Can you not define entrepreneurship narrowly as I have to start my own company and be my own boss? If this is entrepreneurship, most of them will definitely fail.

If starting a business is a dream, I break it down into many small goals. The first goal may be to learn how to start a business. I should join other people's companies and accumulate experience, contacts and resources, even including your own knowledge, understanding and judgment of the industry. These abilities need to be accumulated and learned. "

With a learning attitude, 25-year-old Zhou studied at Founder of Peking University from 65438 to 0995. He didn't regard this experience as looking for a job, but "studied as one of the biggest and best software companies in China at that time, and saw how others did software and companies".

This experience has a great influence on him. "Without this kind of study, there would be no business for me later." .

The ability of self-study runs through Zhou's growth, which is the second experience he wants to share with parents and book lovers:

"Driven by curiosity, there is another very important ability: the ability of self-study. What is the ability of self-study? That is, I don't study for exams, nor to complete the tasks of teachers or schools, but to say that I like this thing and I am willing to read books myself, so this ability to learn actively is very important. "

The habit of lifelong reading

Complementing the self-study ability is the habit of lifelong reading.

Apart from keeping curiosity, it is also very important for Zhou to develop good reading habits.

Once the habit of reading is formed, it will benefit for life. Zhou shared a very interesting article, analyzing the requirements of parents if they want their children to develop reading habits.

This requirement is not that both parents are senior intellectuals, that they must put their children in a good school, that they must live in a school district with a strong learning atmosphere, or that parents insist on telling stories to their children every night.

The only answer for children to develop reading habits is that their parents love reading, and then influence their children subtly.

Zhou can read independently from the first grade. It is recognized that he reads a lot and is fast. He often buys books for employees or sends letters of recommendation to employees by email. Many books are readily available during interviews. He has the habit of reading a book on the plane and then throwing it away.

He emphasized a point: "Today, our parents and schools should cultivate less utilitarian goals when educating their children. If they are too utilitarian, they will actually ruin people. "

The book that has the most profound influence on Zhou must be the Silicon Valley fever published more than 30 years ago.

1990 Week When I was a sophomore in college, I watched "Silicon Valley Fever" once, and I bought another Bible as my own during my postgraduate period.

His "My Internet Methodology" mentioned this book many times and appeared twice in a short preface.

"That book is about the entrepreneurial story of Silicon Valley, but what you can feel is more typical Silicon Valley temperament, that is, a group of young people who want to make a product, willy-nilly, dare to do it in the garage in the house. Today's big companies, such as Apple, Microsoft and Intel, rushed in with a mixed spirit when they started their businesses. They have changed the lives of hundreds of millions of people through innovative products that conform to the development of the times, and at the same time they have gained wealth and achieved financial freedom. "

This old book with a price of 1.9 yuan RMB has influenced a generation of netizens in China, including Zhou and Lei Jun. The founder of Sina also said that this book had a great influence on his later career.

What impressed them most was the entrepreneurial spirit deeply rooted in Silicon Valley, the ability to create valuable things from scratch, and "turning stone into gold".

Such a Silicon Valley complex is still stirring in the blood of Internet people.

Right choice

On July 27, 20 17, the article "People miss the week" suddenly became popular, and there was a passage in the article that was widely circulated:

"... the Internet in China has become more and more boring in the past two years. Very good entrepreneurs are finally shaped into liars by the environment. No one tells the truth, no one dares to tell the truth, and no one can miss you if you don't miss you. "

Zhou replied: "In fact, I know that people don't miss me, they miss people who tell the truth, they miss challengers, and they miss the gunfire of the network."

In the interview, I made an interesting metaphor for Zhou's experience. "When I was a child, I appeared as a challenger, sometimes passively, just like a story: a group of people surrounded the crocodile pond and suddenly jumped down alone and swam to the other side quickly. Everyone thinks the young man is brave. The young man stood up and said, who pushed me down! ?

Therefore, I feel overwhelmed by the giants and cornered. Not that everyone is born to challenge others, but a thorn in the side. I think this is a misunderstanding. "

MISS ZHOU, in Zhou's own view, "is just calling for a spirit, such as the spirit of subversive innovation, the spirit of daring to challenge giants and the spirit of daring to sayno."

In 2008, Zhou announced that 360 antivirus software would be free forever. For him, every subversive innovation is the biggest choice made on the basis of correct values.

The basis of this value is: whether it is good for users.

The book Subversive hopes to "convey this concept and values to more young people in China" because "you have to believe that there are many young people in China, who are smarter than us, have more physical strength and have more time than us, because they are younger and know the market better. If you can convey the spirit of subversive innovation, constant self-subversion and breaking monopoly to them, it will be more valuable to me.

The rise of Xiong Haizi

From the establishment of "372 1" company in 198 to the successful backdoor listing in 2017,360, it took19 years.

In the internet world surrounded by giants, he stood out and found a "red leader" who belongs to his own development path. He used his own growth to explain what a "subversive" is.

Always maintain a strong curiosity, strong self-study ability and lifelong reading habits, be able to make the right choice under great pressure, and give full play to these characteristics.

So, we saw today's week.

Zhou, a "fighter" who once subverted the Internet and was missed by the people, still maintained lifelong learning and curiosity, fought in the front line of the Internet and devoted himself to defending the network security of hundreds of millions of users.

We look forward to Zhou's next subversion.
