A tortuous experience
As a post-80s generation, he experienced many twists and turns that his peers never experienced: because of lack of information guidance, the university filled in the wrong major; Because of the lack of career planning, I was admitted to graduate school in a daze; Because of his lack of self-awareness, he has been a university teacher and has been to state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign companies. After many twists and turns, I finally found my own position: I turned out to be a natural entrepreneur. [ 1]
The reporter once asked him, what do you think is the most painful thing in life? Liu replied that everyone suffers from different things. For me, it is because I once lacked self-awareness and couldn't find a position in life, and because I lacked a platform, my ideal could not be displayed.
Cross-border guide
He studied Chinese first, then became an English teacher and began to do marketing planning. Next, he pursued his ideal with passion and founded a soft power company. Because of his sharp thinking, he is called the sharp brother in education; Because of his extremely fast speech speed, he became a unique speaker; His many unique experiences have given him many different views on life. He wrote them in books and shared them with young people. Colleagues in the publishing industry call him Liu, and he often makes manuscripts. But his interest seems to be more than that. He started recording programs and making movies. "One day, when I grew up, I found myself doing a lot of things I wanted to do when I was young. That should be a very happy thing. I want to be a "saint": an entrepreneur, an educator, a speaker, a writer, a host and a director … "Liu joked. He always likes to try interesting things. [2]
"But there are also many people who can't understand what I do," Liu said. "For example, many people don't understand this concept. For example, some readers learned that I was introverted and timid when I was in college. They couldn't understand me as a university host, especially when they saw me on the stage now. They thought I couldn't be that kind of personality. For this kind of question, I often say: Please don't use your logic to understand my logic. Your logic is: because you can't, you won't do it. My logic is that I will do it because I can't. The logic of people and people is different. "
Struggling youth
Liu is a famous professional madman in the circle. His friends know that he is the first to appear in the office every day. He holds the morning meeting of senior management at eight o'clock on time and leaves the office at twelve o'clock every night. As for weekends, he seems to have no weekends. However, Liu doesn't seem to like the title of professional fanatic. He explained: "In fact, I will enjoy life very much and be very romantic, but not yet." He also has a different understanding of overtime and holidays: most people want others to give them holidays, such as weekend rest and annual leave, and they are used to being arranged by others. I will also have a rest, but it is not arranged by others, nor is it a legal holiday. I arrange my own rest based on the project. If I try my best to complete a project, I will give myself ten days, half a month or even a few months off, go to the Aegean Sea and go to all parts of the world.
If you see an alien who often walks and writes with a pen and a piece of paper in the street, it may be Liu. He has a habit of thinking for another hour after work every morning, holding a pen and a piece of paper. "One thing I find incredible is that one night at three o'clock in the morning, I was sleeping, but a few seconds after I suddenly woke up, I remembered the answers to more than a dozen questions and immediately turned on the light to record them. I still can't explain this logic myself: because I know I will be inspired, or I will have some inspiration when I dream, but I fell asleep. I didn't dream. How can I open my eyes and have the answer to the question? Is the subconscious thinking about the answer when sleeping? "
Edit this paragraph of soft power education
Many media asked him why he wanted to start the cause of soft power education. Liu said that many people are still puzzled by my past confusion; It hurts my pain, inward towards my introversion, and around my detour. So, when I felt I had the ability to answer these questions, I founded such a company.
Liu gave 1200 lectures all over the country. As a pioneer of soft power education, he is popularizing the idea to millions of people that everything has soft power, such as national soft power, city soft power soft power and enterprise soft power, and individuals also have personal soft power. For the first time, he defined "personal soft power" as: thinking ability, communication ability, expression ability, emotional intelligence, personality quality and other non-technical abilities that cannot be measured by examination certificates but are crucial to life development. People's hard power usually refers to professional ability represented by academic diploma and proficiency represented by English computer certificate.
But because soft power is an advanced new concept, most people still can't understand it. Liu said: "People can understand English training and civil service examinations, but they can't understand the concept of soft power. They only know to learn a certain skill, or learn some certificates by memorizing some textbooks, but they don't realize the great power of personality, emotional intelligence, thinking, pattern and communication expression on career development. "
Most people just wander between knowledge and skills, never realizing the beauty of having soft power. If chess is used as a metaphor, literacy, numeracy, computer learning and English learning are just instrumental abilities, which is equivalent to learning the basic rules of "a horse walks like the sun and walks like a field". As for the ability of "layout, judgment, prediction and contingency", that is what a master really has, and this is the subtlety of soft power.

Perhaps he is carefully building a soft power group company including education, film and television, culture and media communication. In an interview with reporters, Liu doesn't seem to want to explain the concept of soft power too much. He just paused and said, if you want to know about soft power, look at my book or website. It's already written clearly.
