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

  • if anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart

  • 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

• 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
