Inspirational speech about Lei Jun 1: It is easy to always believe in the power of dreams, but it is difficult to stick to them. Everyone has a dream, and I believe you have put it into action. The difference is that one year later, two years later, five years later and ten years later, do you still have the courage and determination to persist in your dreams? Do you believe in the power to persist in your dreams?
The following is a record of Lei Jun's speech:
Hello, everyone, I am as excited as everyone standing here, because I was sitting on this small playground with a small bench 24 years ago and attended the graduation ceremony like everyone else, so I can particularly understand your feelings.
Everyone attending the graduation ceremony is about to usher in a new journey in life. They must be a little nervous and confused, but more excited and excited. They are looking forward to a better life in the future. So what can I tell you at the moment? I thought about it all night yesterday and didn't sleep well. I'm thinking, I'm 24 years older than others and 24 years earlier. As a senior, what can I say when so many younger brothers and sisters are about to start their life journey? To tell the truth, there are thousands of words. I really don't know where to start. If I talk too much, it will really help everyone. This is also where I felt a lot of pressure last night. I thought later that we would only talk about two points.
First, always believe in the power of dreams.
Why am I talking about dreams here? This is because I look back on the road I have traveled in the past. In my life, Wuhan University is the most unforgettable one, because Wuhan University plays an indelible role in my life. That was when I was 18 years old, a freshman in college. By chance, I read a book in the library. This book plays a decisive role in my life.
I remember the title of the book very clearly. It is called "the fire of Silicon Valley". This book is published in 1.4 and 1987. It tells the entrepreneurial story of these heroes in Silicon Valley. After reading this book, my heart seemed to be burning with a raging flame, and I was too excited to sleep for several nights. Then walking on the next court again and again, it is difficult to calm down. In the process of walking over and over again on the playground of Wu Da University, I laid a life dream-I must do something earth-shattering in the future. Since God has given talents, let them be used! You must be a great person in the future. Of course, it is easy to build a dream. I believe every student has a great dream, but did you practice it after you dreamed it? So when I was a freshman, I told myself that it was not enough to dream, but to do something different in a down-to-earth way.
The first goal I set for myself is to complete all the courses in the university within two years. Thank you very much for the credit system of Wuhan University. From that day on, I really got twice as many credits. I remember when I attended the school alumni association last year, my credit card was also displayed on the big screen. When I had this dream, I really tried it and it was not difficult to find it. At least, I think two years is enough to complete all the courses in Computer College.
When I was in college, I had a second and third goal, which I later accomplished. I was thinking, in those days, I was definitely not smarter than others, and I was more diligent than others. I think the biggest difference is that I did set up my own life dream earlier than them and put it into practice. This is my first advice to everyone, always believe in the power of dreams. Today, everyone is about to embark on the journey of life, establish their dreams and goals as soon as possible, and put them into action as soon as possible. I think this is the beginning of life.
Second, we must have the courage to believe in the power of persisting in our dreams.
It is easy to have a dream, easy to practice it, and difficult to stick to it. Can you persist today, in five years, in ten or twenty years? Just now, the host introduced my achievements in operating Xiaomi, so I won't introduce Xiaomi. What I want to tell you is what made me start Xiaomi Company. Xiaomi was founded five years ago and released his mobile phone three and a half years ago. It took only two and a half years for Xiaomi to become the first in China market and the fifth in the global market in the most competitive industries and markets (before Apple Samsung and then Huawei).
This achievement can really be called a miracle of the global business market. What is behind this miracle? The first company I co-founded was Kingsoft, and I think the competition in Kingsoft software industry is not easy. In 2007, I retired after Jinshan went public. I should have realized the dream of many people here and retired at the age of 30. I listed a company, sold several companies and invested in dozens of companies. After retirement, my main job is to invest, and my life is very satisfactory.
What is my motivation to start a business? You may be full of curiosity and envy about entrepreneurship, and I believe there will be great entrepreneurs here in the future. At this moment, I want to say more to you. Entrepreneurship is definitely not a job done by people, but by cats and dogs. If you don't have an iron will, you will never do it. I don't think starting a business is fun. So in today's era of mass entrepreneurship and innovation, I remind you that if you really want to start a business, you must be prepared.
I participated in the establishment of Jinshan myself, and I know that it is not easy to start a business. What inspired me to start a business after retirement? It was when I was almost 40 years old that I woke up from my dream one night and felt as if I were drifting away from my dream. I asked myself if I had the courage to do it again. In fact, this question is very difficult to answer. It took me more than half a year to make up my mind. No matter whether this venture is successful or not, I can't let my life be full of regrets. I must try to open a world-class technology company and do something that will benefit everyone in the world, so I am determined to do it.
After making this decision, I still have many concerns. Why? Because if I screw up, I will lose my job. So at that time, I convinced myself to be extremely low-key, highly confidential and down-to-earth for the first year or two, and then stand up and speak until the product was almost done. I think it will be more effective. I used various methods to overcome my fear of starting a business again and the fear of failing to start a business again, and then I founded Xiaomi.
Standing here today, I want to tell you that I believe everyone here has a dream, and I believe you have put your dream into action. What I want to ask is, in five, ten, twenty-four and twenty-five years, do you still have the courage and determination to stick to your dreams? Do you believe in the power of sticking to your dreams? These are two suggestions I give you at the moment.
Inspirational speech about Lei Jun 2: As long as you have a dream, you will be different in the end. Hello, everyone, thank you very much for communicating with you in "A Moment's Speech", such a big topic. Yesterday, I attended the Global Internet Summit in Wuzhen. At this meeting, there are Ma Yun and senior vice president of Apple. The host threw a question, saying that Lei Jun said that you have a goal to be the world's number one smartphone market in 5 to 10. I am busy nodding. I did say that, but they asked me again. He went to ask Apple executives and said, What do you think? This Apple executive is also very good. It's easier said than done. My English is poor. I just understood it.
At that moment, I felt embarrassed. The host said, Lei Jun, what do you think? At that moment, I was embarrassed. I calm down. I said that Ma Yun made a remark at the moment when Alibaba went public. Dreams still have to be there. What if it comes true? My speech level is far behind that of Ma Yun, and his appeal and speech level are beyond my reach. Apart from my Mandarin in Hubei, I feel that as a technical and engineering person, I can't compare with his eloquence, because Ma Yun graduated from a very, very famous school, no less than Peking University, called Hangzhou Normal University, which specializes in training teachers. Really better than me.
Especially when I heard Ma Yun say that if people like him can succeed, 80% of China people can succeed, and everyone's blood is boiling. He said that I failed in the college entrance examination several times, and finally I was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University, but I still couldn't find a job. Ma Yun is qualified to say this today, and it is particularly shocking. Everyone, especially every X-ray, is eager to fight back against the clouds.
After saying Ma Yun's famous words, I would like to add a paragraph. I said that more than four years ago, Xiaomi just started a business. In Zhongguancun, a dozen people have seven or eight guns to make mobile phones. Who believes that we will win? The mobile phone industry is a sea of knives and mountains, with Samsung Apple in the front and Lenovo Huawei in the back. We see that Motorola is dying, Nokia is dying, Blackberry is dying, even HTC is dying, and Sony is dying recently. The competition in this market is extremely fierce. When a normal person thinks of smart phones, he thinks that this market is very competitive.
Three years ago, our product was just released and it only took three years. Who would have thought that this small company with more than a dozen people had achieved the first place in China and the third place in the world in less than three years in such markets as Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Lenovo? When we have such achievements and such a starting line today, I think we should always have this little dream of being the world's number one in 5 to 10. So dreams still have to be there. Where did my dream come from four years ago?
In fact, it is very difficult for me to run Xiaomi. Why? Because I was lucky enough to participate in the establishment of Jinshan before the establishment of Xiaomi. Today, I am still the chairman and major shareholder of Jinshan Company, and I have the honor to run an e-commerce company named Joyo. It should be said that my life is enough. After IPO, I retired, worked as an investor for three or four years and made angel investment. My performance is not bad. I'm sure I can enter the first batch of angel investment circles in China. I'm sure there's no problem.
You said you don't have to worry so much about investing every day. What motivates me to make up my mind to do such a tiring thing? This thing is really tired. At that stage, when I was an angel investor and retired from Jinshan, I woke up from my dream one night and asked myself a question. I was 40 years old, famous in the eyes of others, retired, and still made an investment that everyone envied. Do I still have the courage to pursue my childhood dreams? I think the older you get, the harder it is to talk about dreams. I think everyone has the most dreams now. Will you still have a dream when you are 40 years old? Facing the cruel reality, how many people can laugh at today and tomorrow?
I asked myself, do I still have the courage to try? It's risky to try like this. I may lose my reputation and lose everything. More importantly, I am already a successful person in the eyes of others. Do I need to take such a big risk to do such a difficult thing? In fact, I really hesitated for half a year. Finally, I think this dream inspired me to take a gamble. I said that only in this way can my life be complete. At least when I am old, I can proudly say that I once had a dream, and I tried, even if I failed. So I finally made up my mind to run Xiaomi. At first I thought I would lose 100%. All I can think about is how I will die. I'm really glad that we only have three years and achieved a result that I can't believe myself.
I used to walk along the 400-meter track on the playground of Wuhan University day after day for several nights. How can we create a different life? I wonder if we can run a world-class company like Jobs in this soil of China. I think only in this way can I be worthy of my life and feel that life is valuable, meaningful and pursued.
So what's my dream? Why do I have such a dream? It is because when I was as old as everyone else, 18 years old, I accidentally read a book in the library and changed my life. It was the first semester of my freshman year, reading in the library of Wuhan University. That book is called Fire in Silicon Valley, and it is 1987. This book tells the stories of heroes who started businesses in Silicon Valley in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The main chapter is about Apple Jobs. The book says that Jobs represented American-style entrepreneurship in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I remember in the 1990s, when Bill Gates succeeded, Bill Gates told me that I was just the second Steve Jobs. Jobs was in full swing in the 1980s. After reading this book, I was too excited to calm down for a long time. I clearly remember that after reading this book, I walked along the 400-meter track on the playground of Wuhan University for several nights day after day. How can we create a different life? I wonder if we can run a world-class company like Jobs in this soil of China. I think only in this way can I be worthy of my life and feel that life is valuable, meaningful and pursued.
Of course, in China 267 years ago, the conditions were much worse than today, and it was far from easy to do a thing. I had such a dream that it was easier said than done. When I had such a dream, I thought it was useless to express it in words. So how can I put it into practice in my study and work? The first plan I made at that time was to complete all college courses in two years before 267 years.
I really finished all the courses in Wuhan University in the 1980s, and most of my grades should be the first in my grade, almost all my professional courses. I remember that I finished my grade in two years, ranking sixth among my classmates, with more than 0/00 students in the whole grade/kloc. So how can I realize my first dream? I can study well on a track, because I think you still need to have basic skills. With the precipitation of the first basic skill, we gave the second goal. Everyone says you can't publish a paper in a first-class journal. When I was a sophomore, I published a paper in a first-class journal for two years.
Therefore, having a dream is a simple thing. The key is whether you can put this thing into practice, how do you practice it, and how do you set yourself one feasible goal after another. Of course, it is not enough to have such a goal, because success is not a simple matter, and it requires your long-term persistence and perseverance.
Just like myself, after I retired at the age of 40, I still have the courage to try, so I am very grateful for this opportunity. Today, I can proudly share with you that when I was 40 years old, I didn't forget my dream of 18 years old. I tried. Although I know it is too early for Xiaomi to talk about success and defeat Apple, there is always a dream. What if it comes true?
We need five years to see things, three years to think and one or two years to do them well.
I am about two rounds older than others. I am in my twenties, and I often exchange dreams with many young people. My favorite sentence is "People are great because of their dreams". 2 1 during the meeting in the afternoon, some people said that the president of the United States said this, and I said I copied it. I think each of us, as long as we have a dream, will become different. Stephen Chow also famously said that people have no dreams, which is different from salted fish. So, you must have a dream. Having a dream is the first step to success. After the first step, you must prepare all kinds of solid foundations for your dreams.
So when it comes to the realization of dreams, I have a famous saying recently that I copied. As the saying goes, "when a typhoon comes, pigs can fly." Have you ever heard of it? If you want to succeed, you must find the typhoon mouth. When the typhoon came, pigs could fly. You think all pigs can fly. Of course, I actually want to express two meanings, especially to the students present. I don't think the first one can succeed without solid basic skills and diligence. I think the second point is that with diligence and a solid foundation, you may not succeed. What else do you need? We need a typhoon mouth. You also need to seize this great development opportunity, seize this opportunity, and seize this opportunity to have a chance of success.
So what opportunity did Xiaomi seize? Why is this typhoon so powerful? In fact, Xiaomi has accurately entered the era of changing smartphones. Nokia failed. As soon as the apple got up, Xiaomi came into being. With a brand-new model, it became the first in China in just three years. In fact, the whole growth rate far exceeds imagination. Xiaomi has been doing it for three years. How big is it this year? About 65 million mobile phones will be sold this year, with a turnover of about 70 billion yuan to 80 billion yuan. This is a company that has been in business for three or four years. This should have created a global miracle. What's behind this?
Behind this is a solid basic skill and a very, very good grasp of opportunities. So, I worked alone for more than 20 years. My advice to all my classmates is that I think the first one should have a dream, and the second one should set a step-by-step goal, set a phased goal, and don't worry. The third point is to pay attention to the importance of opportunities. I think some smart students think that cleverness and diligence are invincible in the world. In fact, it is not enough to be smart and diligent. How to grasp the opportunity of the times and how to be correct in the general direction is also very important.
Today's moment speech, I will stop here, thank you!
Inspirational speech about Lei Jun 3: We must always have a little dream. On the 20th, I attended the Global Internet Summit in Wuzhen. At this meeting, there are Ma Yun and senior vice president of Apple. The host threw a question, saying that Lei Jun said that you have a goal, and it will take 5 to 10 years to achieve the first style in the global smartphone market. I am busy nodding.

At the stage of my angel investment and my retirement from Jinshan, I woke up one night and asked myself a question: I am 40 years old, I have made a name for myself in the eyes of others, I have retired, and I am still making an investment that everyone envies. Do I still have the courage to pursue my childhood dreams? The older you get, the harder it is to talk about dreams. Now everyone has the most dreams. Will you still have a dream when you are 40 years old? Facing the cruel reality, how many people can laugh at today and tomorrow?

At least when I am old, I can proudly say that I once had a dream, and I tried, even if I failed. I finally made up my mind to be a millet. At first I thought I would lose 100%. All I can think about is how I will die. I'm really glad that it took us only three years to achieve a result that I couldn't believe myself.
Why do I have such a dream? It is because when I was as old as everyone else, 18 years old, I accidentally read a book in the library and changed my life.

Can we run a world-class company like Jobs in this soil of China? I think only in this way can I be worthy of my life and feel that life is valuable, meaningful and pursued.
When I have such a dream, I think it is useless to put it into language. How to implement it in actual study and work (the most important thing). The first plan I made at that time was to complete all college courses in two years 26 or 27 years ago.
It took me two years to complete my grades, ranking sixth among my classmates, with more than 0/00 students in the whole grade/kloc. In my opinion, with the precipitation of basic skills and the precipitation of the first basic skills, the second goal is given. Everyone says you can't publish papers in first-class journals? When I was a sophomore, I spent two years publishing papers in a first-class journal.
It is a simple thing to have a dream. The key is whether you can put this thing into practice after you have a dream, how to practice it, and how to set yourself one feasible goal after another. Of course, it will take a long time to persevere and persevere.
Just like myself, after retiring at the age of 40, do I still have the courage to give it a try? Today, I can proudly share with you that when I was 40 years old, I didn't forget my dream of 18 years old. I tried. Although I know it is too early for Xiaomi to talk about success and defeat Apple, there are always dreams. What if it comes true?
I often exchange dreams with young people, and my favorite sentence is "People are great because of their dreams". Each of us, as long as you have a dream, you will become different. The key is to dream. Having a dream is your first step to success. After the first step, you must prepare all kinds of solid foundations for your dreams.
Then when it comes to the realization of dreams, there is a famous saying recently, that is, "when a typhoon comes, pigs can fly." This sentence actually wants to express two meanings. First, you can't succeed without solid basic skills and diligence. Second, hard work and a solid foundation may not necessarily lead to success. You need a typhoon to grasp the great development opportunity. Seize the opportunity and you will have a chance to succeed.
What opportunity did Xiaomi seize? In fact, Xiaomi has accurately entered the era of changing smartphones. Nokia failed, and Apple just rose. Xiaomi came into being and became the first in China in just three years with a brand-new model. In fact, the whole growth rate is far beyond imagination.

I have worked hard for more than 20 years, and my advice to all my classmates is, I think first, I must have dreams; Second, we should set gradual goals and set phased goals.
