Great ideas

  • notes

    • building something enduring and whether it has the potential to reward me optimally

    • I want to read the rulebook and find my own optimization. I don’t want to know the established strategies.

    • “小而美”的组织结构，对应的是“零工经济” （～10个人）

      • 个体对传统层级型企业的人身依附越来越小

    • on a relative basis, opportunity is more abundant than ever.

      • Technology and the rise of globalization have played a vital role in that.

Strategies on career

  • 从执行层面，到战术层面，再到战略层面的过程

    • 执行层的工作经验达到一个临界点后，所带来的价值增量就开始衰减， 无法抵消年龄增长所带来的劣势，还有技术发展取代人力的趋势威胁

  • an exciting & meaningful mission to help channelize energy & thoughts

    • build a purpose
      • identify a clear mission, and head toward it
    • let the mission channelize all your inward, latent energy

  • plan B

    • 尽量丰富自己的选择，不要“把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”，无论是生活方式，思考方式，工作方式，职业生涯，还是资产配置

  • build business - do more - action > theory

  • build a business

    • you learn how things really work by doing them.
    • experiment with the reality
    • engage in stimulating conversations
    • don't just read about financial markerts, business, science, philosophy
    • if anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart

  • survival of the fittest, not the strongest

    • 要想 “适应这个群体吗?”, “在这个群体中是什么角色?”, 而不是 “我要比人强”
    • 做事情, 要思考是不是适应, 而不是完全和别人拼强弱
    • 发现一个自己的生态位, 找到自己在生态中的位置

  • master some skill, interest, or knowledge that others find valuable

    • once you master it, you'll be rewarded with new opportunities
    • don't try to find your passion

  • Always choose the more difficult path: it leads to the easier life.

    • courage, social skills, friendships

  • 求同存异 - 共赢 + 不失原则的妥协

    • 共同的，不同的和处于中间带的观点

  • Don't fight to win all the battles, you just need win the war

    • 不需要赢得每场战斗，而是要赢整个战争， 过程中的妥协不丢脸，赢在最后才是最重要的

  • 关注事实胜过关注争吵，关心细节胜过关心策略

    • 怀疑的精神特别重要，就是尽量不要去人云亦云； 自己去看了，自己有所体会了，再下这样的论断

  • 究竟做什么并不重要, 为什么要做这件事 以及 如何做这件事才是最重要的

    • why, and how is more important than what

  • Nature and markets, not people, are more honest when it comes to giving feedback

notes on your career -> ample income + providing satisfaction

  • TIME I spend, and a high savings rate as the seeds of wealth is a requirement

  • three Paths -> financially independent

    • the high-income-producing, high-level leadership path -> senior executives of public corporations
    • the self-employed, risk-taking, investing-in-my-business approach -> owners/managers of successful businesses
    • the frugal, steady-as-she-goes journey

  • Solution -> one matches between skills, abilities,characteristics and the environment/market

    • understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses
      • Recognize my strengths and creating goals as a starting point
    • finding a career that makes full use of one's competencies like skills, abilities,characteristics
    • if you love your job, if it provides you with the life-style and level of freedom you desire, then working is great
      • learn what it's like to work so you can check the field was of interest to you
      • whether survive in the type of environments/market
      • whether like the work you are doing
      • check what we liked and didn't like about work, what we are interested in and able to do

  • Margin Required

    • Money gives you the independence and options to choose
    • generating multiple sources of revenue
      • opportunities to expand revenue generation and a setup for a future career move
      • or part-time career
      • translate hobbies into income-producing activities
        • pursue other interests that could lead to a new career or your own business
      • the needs of the future customers
