Yu is currently the president of New Oriental School and the chairman of Beijing New Oriental Chengxun Network Technology Co., Ltd., and has been rated as one of the top ten corporate stars with the most appreciation potential by the media and one of the 25 entrepreneurs who influenced China in the 20th century. He is knowledgeable, ambitious, skillful in rhetoric and humorous and elegant. He is proficient in English, especially engineering vocabulary. A little red book is well-known in the industry, edited several sets of practical teaching CDs and became a well-known English teaching expert at home and abroad. At present, the New Oriental School he founded has occupied 80% of the overseas training market in Beijing and 50% of the whole country, with more than 6.5438+0.5 million trainees annually, and 70% of the foreign students are his disciples. Because I am good at overseas education, I am far-sighted, and I am still pioneering and enterprising when my career is in full swing. In 2000, he joined hands with China IT giant Lenovo Group to enter the Internet and set up the New Oriental online website. The elites from all walks of life are under his command, just like a generation of handsome talents. However, today's achievements are tempered by his past sufferings and failures: he failed in the college entrance examination several times, but he was not discouraged. I had to substitute for classes when I was repeating, and finally I was admitted to the Department of Western Languages in Peking University in one fell swoop in the third college entrance examination. After graduation, his classmates went abroad in succession, but he failed several times. He was silent for seven years, teaching at Peking University and thinking for seven years. 199 1 year, he bravely quit his job and started a business. A few years later, the New Oriental School developed from "a single spark" to "the potential of starting a prairie fire" and achieved great success. But he still smiled and was very modest, and his personality charm was thus established. ...
In the online class of New Oriental Online, President Yu fully demonstrated his painstaking teaching experience and experience for many years, which combined his spirit of struggle and optimistic outlook on life. I hope that the vast number of aspiring young people can get help from it and make their lives "finally brilliant"!

At present, New Oriental has set up branches in Shanghai and Guangzhou respectively, spreading the spirit and educational concept of New Oriental to all parts of the country.
Up to 2000, many English teaching and academic works have been published in the process of education, including: Selected GRE Vocabulary (called "Little Red Book" by students), Small Dictionary of GRE Vocabulary in Reverse Order, Encyclopedia of English Roots and Affixes, Selected Works of Modern English Recitation, etc. , and edited the CDs of "I love memorizing words in English" and "English GRE vocabulary breakthrough". As a well-known expert in English teaching and management in China, he promoted the development of overseas education in China and was praised as the "godfather of overseas study" by the society. Yu's school-running deeds were reported by many Chinese and foreign newspapers.
In 2000, Yu led the team to set up Oriental Investment Co., Ltd., which took a big step towards the industrialized operation of education. In the same year, New Oriental cooperated with Lenovo, and Lenovo invested 50 million yuan. New Oriental established Li Andong Ye Wei Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., specializing in distance teaching in New Oriental. This is the first formal cooperation between New Oriental and the outside world, and the educational concept and spirit of New Oriental have penetrated into the society at a faster speed through modern science and technology.
I got up early. Recently, he had to leave 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 China students 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.
The secret of my success is something my father did when he was a child, which I still remember. My father is a carpenter. He often helps others build houses. Every time he finishes building a house, he will pick up the abandoned bricks, or one or two, or three or five. Sometimes when walking on the road, he sees bricks or stones on the side of the road. He will pick them up and take them home with a basket. Over time, my yard is a mess of bricks and tiles. I don't know what this pile of things is for, but I feel that my father has left the small yard with no room for manoeuvre. Until one day, my father began to measure left and right in a small clearing in the corner of the yard, digging trenches with mud to build walls, and pieced them together with that messy pile of bricks. A small square house has sprung up unexpectedly, forming a harmonious whole with the yard, clean and beautiful. My father drove the pigs and sheep that had been running around in the open air to a small house, and then cleaned the yard. My family had a yard and pigsty that the whole village envied.
At that time, I just thought my dad was great. I built my own house, and then I continued my rural life with other children, poor but happy. When I grew up, I gradually discovered how far-reaching my father had influenced me. From a brick to a pile of bricks, and finally into a small house, my father explained to me all the secrets of making a thing. A brick is useless, and a pile of bricks is useless. If you don't have a dream of building a house in your heart, owning all the bricks in the world is also a pile of waste; But if there is only a dream of building a house without bricks, the dream cannot be realized. At that time, the family was so poor that it was almost a problem to eat. Naturally, there is no money to buy bricks, but my father won't give up. He picked up bricks and tiles day after day, and finally had enough bricks to build a house in his heart.
In the later days, the spirit of this incident has always inspired me and become the guiding ideology of my work. When I do something, I usually ask myself two questions: first, what is the goal of doing it, because doing things blindly is like picking up a pile of bricks and not knowing what to do, which will waste my life. The second question is how hard it takes to do this well, that is, how many bricks are needed to build a house. After that, you should be patient, because you can't pick up enough bricks in one day.
Three events in my life have proved the benefits of this idea. The first thing is my college entrance examination, with a clear goal: to go to college, I failed in the first year and the second year, and I didn't get enough bricks. In the third year, I continued to pick up bricks desperately and finally entered Peking University. The second thing is that I have a clear goal in memorizing words: to be one of the best English vocabulary teachers in China, so I started memorizing words one by one. In the pain of forgetting the words recited, the image of my father picking up bricks always comes to my eyes. Finally, I memorized 20,000 to 30,000 words and became an excellent vocabulary teacher. The third thing is that I want to be a New Oriental, with a clear goal: to be one of the best English training institutions in China, and then I began to teach students, giving them six to ten hours of classes every day on average. Many teachers have fallen or given up, but I haven't given up for more than ten years. Every time I attend class, I feel that I have picked up an extra brick and dream of building this house in New Oriental. I am still working hard today and see the hope that the house in New Oriental can be built.
If the pyramid is demolished, it is just a pile of scattered stones; If you live without a goal, it will only be a few scattered years, but if you concentrate on realizing a dream every day, those scattered days will become the eternity of life.
