Chapter 963 Anxiety and Calmness
"Personally, I think dreams and responsibilities are the key to my success,"
"When I grew up and learned about the different world outside through learning and other media, at that time, you would instinctively think, why can't we make our place the same as the outside world?"
"I think we know why you're successful," Oprah interrupted. "I'm like most people in a situation like that, and the instinct is, I've got to go out there in a big city like that,"
"Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking like that," Feng Yiping said, "It's just that I really thought that way at the time, and then I felt like it was my responsibility," said Feng Yiping.
"Because I had such an idea, I was thinking very early on, what should I do? The book "Blue Ocean Strategy" published when I was a sophomore should be a summary of my thinking,"
"To be honest, I was forced to come up with such a concept. With my conditions, I can't compete with others in some fields. If I want to succeed, I can only discover and set foot in some new blue oceans,"
"And you did succeed, and we heard it too. Your success stems from long-term preparations, strong beliefs, and a sense of mission. We are proud of you!"
"Thank you, thank you all,"
"Well, I believe that many people, like me, will be very concerned about a problem. You just graduated from college in the first half of this year. Most of your peers should be still trying to find a satisfactory job at this time, or to make your The boss is satisfied and works hard,"
"But at this time, you are already successful enough. In addition to the recently acquired Coin Star, there are already three companies listed on Nasdaq under your name. In addition to your unlisted assets in China and the United States, your net worth It has reached billions of dollars!"
"At your age, with so much wealth, what benefits will it bring you, and what troubles will it bring that ordinary people don't know?"
"About this, the first thing I want to say is that I am very grateful, thankful to all those who support my work, to all those who care and help me, I know that my personal ability is limited, if it is not for everyone's support, I will never May have the present achievement, "
"If you want to talk about the benefits brought by these wealth, I think it should be first," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "it will make me more calm than most of my peers, yes, it is calm,"
"It is undeniable that this is an unprecedented good era, but it is also undeniable that for young people like me, this is also a very stressful era,"
"Why do you say that? Shouldn't it be that with the progress and development of the times, the pressure on the younger generation is getting less and less?" Oprah asked.
"No, I think it's quite the opposite," Feng Yiping shook his head. "Of course, the situation I mentioned may only represent those of my peers in China."
"One of the most prominent features of this era is that the pace is getting faster and faster. On the one hand, such a big environment requires us to use a much shorter time than before to respond and handle tasks of the same difficulty or even higher difficulty,"
"At the same time, the competition is becoming more and more fierce. More and more jobs need to be faced with competition from all over the world,"
"However, this is still not the biggest pressure. The biggest pressure comes from our worries about an uncertain future,"
"In this society, change is the only constant truth. In many industries and fields, there have been subversive changes. Many popular industries are now becoming increasingly lonely. It turns out that the experience of many predecessors has become less and less meaningful. ,"
"While we are working hard on the current work, we will inevitably worry that the industry I am working in will be the next one to be subverted or the next one to be disrupted?"
"Although it seems that my industry still looks like a store next to a busy main road, and there are still many users who need us, but is it possible that somewhere nearby, someone is already surveying and preparing to start building a highway The highway, on the day it opens to traffic, will it effortlessly pull away all our current passenger traffic?"
"It may be more abstract to say this. I will take the current TV program as an example. We all know that the current TV program is a very systematic project, from the formation of the early team, to topic selection, preparation, and implementation. shooting, to post-production, and finally to provide a broadcast platform...,"
"Every link in the process is very difficult, and the investment is huge. Then, will this model remain unchanged? Will the current model continue in 10 or 20 years? "
"I personally think that there may also be subversive changes at that time. With the advancement of technology, maybe one person can complete work similar to ours at a very low cost,"
With the development of technology, such as the popularization of smart phones and more and more public social platforms, in the later society, everyone can become a reporter if they want to.
Later, as long as you want, as long as you have the ability, you can also become a popular Internet celebrity with an audience of tens of millions at a very low cost, such as papi sauce.
And at that time, there is no threshold to become an anchor, and you can easily live broadcast while walking.
"It is said that Feng, your vision is very precise. Hearing what you said, I think it is very necessary to start worrying about my future now," Oprah teased.
Although from her point of view, what Feng Yiping said, not to mention the Arabian Nights, is at least somewhat unfounded.
"The above mentioned is just one aspect of our high pressure. Our increased pressure also stems from our anxiety about success,"
"Although different people have different definitions of the concept of success, generally speaking, it should be our individual and team efforts. While bringing beneficial services to society and individuals, we can also have our own achievements. Good receipt, this kind of harvest, both spiritual and material, of course, the most intuitive is material success, "
"In this era, we are used to seeing successful examples, so we have been anxious for a long time. When will I be as successful as those people, and when will I be able to live like them?"
"This kind of anxiety can even make our ages misaligned. When we were in high school, we worried about whether we could get into a good university in the future. When we were in college, we were worried about future jobs. Expenses, for example, housing issues,"
"Actually, this is not just a house issue. Houses are related to many things, such as children's education. However, we all know that with the speed of rising prices, houses are getting more and more expensive. In many places, owning a house is a It's getting harder and harder...so, we're going to be more anxious,"
"We have just started a family, and we have to worry about raising the next generation, and at this time, our parents are also entering old age, so we have to consider the issue of our parents' pension...,"
"In short, I think at least those of my peers in China now, in their teens, worry about what happened in their 20s, and when they were in their 20s, they also had to worry about what happened when they were in their 30s...,"
"Because of the pressure, sometimes we even wish we could go back to a time when there were no phones, no mobile phones, and no internet,"
Oprah mused, "It's no wonder China is developing so fast, because people of your age are so eager to succeed,"
"Yes, they are so eager to succeed, it is inevitable that sometimes they will be a little utilitarian, and they will not pay attention to the long-term. In fact, it is hard to say that they will not. It should be said that they are forced by reality, so they can't."
"And now I am not as anxious as they are, I can be more calm than them, and I can think further. This should be the wealth I currently have, and it will bring me the greatest benefit,"
"So, what about worry?" Oprah asked.
"There are a lot of troubles," Feng Yiping said, "You mentioned a lot of data just now, but you didn't mention one key data, that is, the number of employees in all my companies has reached 20,000, so I often , I am no longer worried about my personal success, but more concerned about my employees, whose work may be related to a family, "
"That is to say, I have to be indirectly responsible for more than 10,000 families, which is definitely not an easy task,"
"Of course, it's pressure, but also motivation,"
"Yes, so when a person's wealth reaches a certain level, it belongs to the society," Oprah said, "In short, now you have achieved achievements that many people can hardly achieve-I say that, Will it increase their anxiety again? Hehe,"
"Although the national conditions are different, there are some situations that must be common. Whether in the United States or China, there must be many people of your age who may not have found their own way at this time, that is, they are far from success It's still far away, what do you want to say to them who are anxious?"
"People my age? Then I think the last thing they like is preaching, right?"
Sure enough, many people in the audience laughed in agreement.
"If everyone has no objection, I still want to give some of my own opinions. I think that at this age, I don't know what I will do in the future and what kind of person I will be. Persevere, what kind of person you will not become in the future, "
"Even if you may not become a superman who saves the world in the future, don't choose to become a villain who may destroy the world now?" Oprah gave an example.
"That's what it means. Instead of worrying and worrying, it's better to improve your abilities in a down-to-earth manner. As long as you can persist in this way, then I believe that we will find our own way in the future and we will succeed. "
"Maybe tomorrow, when you open the door, you will find a dream opportunity presented in front of you - this is very likely to happen, sometimes, there is only one step between you and success. Just open that door at the right time."
After a moment of silence, there was warm applause from the audience.
"Finally, let's talk about these recent moves of yours, Coinstar and Redbox...,"
They didn't forget that one of the most important purposes of Feng Yiping's appearance on today's show was to promote it.
