Overtime deviated from the trajectory designed by others.
I have had three college entrance examinations, but his dream of studying abroad for many years failed to come true, and all kinds of disappointments when he became a teacher later, but he never compromised.
He believes that this is to live and let him know how to find hope in despair, so as to take the initiative to grasp his own life trajectory.
"If I fail to study abroad and am punished by Peking University, I will be advised to live a quiet life. Now I may be a farmer or an associate professor of foreign languages. I may be like many people, living a passive life designed by the unit and society for you. " In this regard, Yu believes that once passive life becomes an unconscious habit, we are led around by all kinds of things like grinding donkeys, but because we have been led for too long, we forget that we are led by the nose, and sometimes we feel uncomfortable without being led. But no one can predict the future. For example, Wang Qiang crossed the ocean twice and settled in the United States. After extraordinary efforts, he became a senior computer engineer in Bell Laboratories, and now he is the most famous oral English teacher in China. Bao Fanyi, a philosopher who was suspected by his friends to be aloof from the world, got an MBA after studying for a master's degree in communication under the pressure of reality in North America, and actually became an accountant of General Motors in the United States ... Everyone deviated from the development track designed for them by their major. So take the initiative to grasp the future. In the process of grasping the future, you must first have the courage to get out of this life, and getting out of this life requires you to give up your original vested interests and habits. One of people's worst habits is to cling to what they already have. In fact, as long as a person is willing to let go of his own small world, it is easy to broaden his horizons.
Of course, taking the initiative to grasp yourself does not mean blindly attacking. Choosing a development path according to your own expertise and interests may not be clear for the time being, but the efforts driven by interest will eventually help you see the clouds.
Look for opportunities sensitively and sympathetically.
When there are more and more college students, graduate students and even returnees, the sigh of talents is becoming more and more common. As the founder of New Oriental, the most famous training institution in China, Yu believes that the opportunity actually lies in the process of constantly observing the social environment and seriously thinking and summing up. In this process, we are faced with gains and losses, taking and giving up, success and failure, which is a painful and happy self-healing downstream.
Before the establishment of New Oriental School, a teacher in Peking University worked in other training institutions. Looking on coldly, I found that a large number of training schools have defects in their attitudes, management and ideas towards students. "I am also a student and have participated in the college entrance examination remedial class. I think, if I am the person in charge, how can I help students and attract them? " 12 years later, Yu recalled the original intention of founding New Oriental. In his view, he chose to enter the field of English training in private education because he was a tutor, so he understood the students' eagerness for help. Because I am a foreign language teacher, I have the opportunity to get in touch with the field of foreign language training, so as to understand the new trends in the field of foreign language training. Find the market demand of your own professional field and constantly think about ways to improve it. Every step is to find new hope in difficulties, and the opportunity is always in your own hands.
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun with others.
Every promotion in the workplace means a change in one's role. How to play a new role in a new position is a painful change for many people, especially in the process of changing from technical positions to management positions, many people are at a loss. In this regard, Yu, who has always thought that he is transforming from a teacher to a professional manager, said that any transformation means gains and losses, and at the same time, he must learn to let go. The so-called letting go is to recognize others in the process of learning to discover the advantages of others, and appropriately share the power and glory that may belong to you with more people.
Yu said that in the past, acting as a one-man show, all kinds of success and glory were concentrated on him, and he could keep his word. However, when the organizational structure is constantly expanding, and one person alone cannot complete the operation of the whole organization, absorbing the opinions and suggestions of others becomes the key to successful management. In the process of establishing a modern management organization, a person's decision-making ability will inevitably be diluted by more and more think tanks, and the outspoken opinions of colleagues may even hurt a person's dignity. Then, as a manager, we should strengthen mutual understanding with all the team members. Only after fully understanding everyone's personality, morality and shortcomings can we criticize and self-criticize together without mercy. The way to get to know each other can be to learn from each other at work, or to have a heart-to-heart conversation like buddies. We should create opportunities to enhance understanding according to the personalities of different colleagues. When you know each other's shortcomings, but also know each other's advantages, one thing to learn is to make the best use of each other's advantages and avoid each other's shortcomings. Carrying forward anyone's strengths can make everyone in his team use their strengths in doing things. At the same time, as a manager, only by seeing everyone's strengths and recognizing them can you gradually transfer the power and honor that once belonged to you. Every manager wants to succeed, and so does any excellent colleague. Letting more outstanding colleagues enjoy your glory is one of the important reasons for the formation of team cohesion.

I got up early. He left home nearly two hours earlier than usual. The "New Oriental" school he founded has come to recruit summer classes again these days. Due to the large number of applicants, the main traffic sections around the school and Zhongguancun are often blocked. This "exaggerated" scene has been going on for several years. I parked my car next to an ordinary white four-story building next to the North Fourth Ring Road. This is the headquarters of "New Oriental" and is also called the hottest place in Beijing by the media-it is said that 70% of the international students from China come from any famous university in the United States and Canada. As the president of "New Oriental", Yu often visits North America. Every time he goes to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner, dozens of people will stand up and call him "President Yu" as soon as he takes a seat.
