Reflections on the philosophy of life

The world is different because of you is the autobiography of Kai-fu Lee. By telling his own personal experience, the author lets us pursue our dreams and make the world different for you.

The first time I saw the name of this book, there was a trace of pride in the atmosphere, knowing that Kai-fu Lee was very successful. In the book, he tells the story of his departure from a university professor to Apple, Microsoft and then to Google. In the process of telling, he repeatedly mentioned three words: do something, follow your heart and lead your life, which is a high summary of the central idea of the book.

have impact on

In his book, he mentioned that doing something is the most respected attitude of his university philosophy teacher: imagine a world with you and without you, and then compare it. Perhaps this is the philosophical meaning of life. Indeed, the meaning of our life is to change the world, so that the world will change beneficially because of your attitude and choice. If you live in the world, you should contribute to the world as much as possible. What we are studying now, in a narrow sense, may only be for our bright future, but unconsciously, we are also making our own contribution to the development of the world. While we realize our ideals, the world becomes different because of our existence. So we will stick to our ideals and strive to make a difference.

Follow your heart

In the process of continuous selection, he mentioned that with the increase of age, the cost of selection is also increasing, and the risks that follow are also increasing. But the ideal is not like this after all. The pursuit of ideals is urging him to move on and finally leave Google, a paradise for dreamers. Choice is a painful process for people, especially between ideal and reality. However, only by choosing to follow one's own heart can we stimulate the greatest potential in the body, and following the deepest desire in the heart is a powerful driving force for us to move forward. The ideal comes from the heart, and the inner strength is infinite. Repeatedly ask yourself your own heart, set your sights farther, not be confused by the noise in front of you, and devote yourself wholeheartedly to your own ideals in order to achieve great success.

Lead your life.

A lot of space in the book introduces Google's ideas of freedom, equality and innovation. Everyone's potential can be brought into full play in Google, and then he led the team to set up Google China in China, which almost reached the peak of his life. But Google chose to leave at the best time. He made this choice because his greater ideal is to help young people in China realize their dreams. Lead your life, simple, powerful and meaningful. With your dreams, with gratitude, sincerity and helping others realize their dreams, with persistence, fearlessness and optimism.

In addition, there are many insights in this book, which is Kai-fu Lee's perception of life. This book tells us a lot of truths that are of great guiding and educational significance to us.

Pursuing dreams, success has no absolute meaning, and success is to be the best of yourself.
