Success can't be copied, but people who follow can take fewer detours, and learning from successful people can overcome self-righteous problems. The following is what I arranged for you. Welcome to read!
The branch 1 can be transplanted. Can it be copied successfully?
When Newton's apple branches have settled in major campuses in China, I wonder what students think of these carefully cultivated saplings?
I think there must be some playful spectators who laugh at the whimsical people wandering under the apple tree. Who knows, maybe they are such people themselves. With luck, they hope to succeed by imitating what others have done, and dream miracles will appear on themselves. In the end, this superficial and unabsorbed essence will eventually end in failure.
Not everyone can become Newton when they are hit by an apple; Not everyone can achieve Tao Yuanming's open-mindedness by resigning and retiring; Not everyone will become a beauty if they learn to frown. This truth is too easy to understand. But now, more and more people have gone into the misunderstanding of success, holding the so-called success rule, stepping on the footprints of successful people and moving forward cautiously. The result is not close to the ideal, but farther and farther.
Modern people's idea of successful replication does not only come from themselves. And sometimes it comes from social pressure. Because of the fast-paced life, people are increasingly lacking innovative ideas and become dumb puppets that can only copy and paste. Even success has a so-called law, which is really sad.
And I think a group of people will stop to meditate when they pass by the apple tree. What they are thinking about is not when they can be hit by an apple and become Newton, but why Newton can still have such a spirit of exploration and study gravity after being hit by an apple. They may get a little encouragement and taste Newton's success. I don't think Newton was the first person to be hit by an apple, but why was he the only one who discovered gravity? I think the difference lies in his indomitable spirit of exploration. And this is what modern young people lack. I think this is the original intention of the headmaster to transplant apple branches.
A famous entrepreneur once said, "The law that the market will never change is that it will never change." A famous anthropologist said, "The secret of measuring fate is immeasurable." Because, we are always changing. If you can really predict the future accurately, what is the value of the future? What we can learn is the different will qualities of successful people from ordinary people, but we should learn to find out the essence, not just copy it superficially.
The future is a blank sheet of paper, which can be smeared at any time. I would rather walk than go by train or bus. I want to roam freely, without tracks and roads. You should pursue your own world, not follow the footsteps of others. Because I understand that success can never be replicated. Neither can life.
I remember a sentence in an article called "GE is not a role model": "Welch didn't become the CEO of GE after a biography of a CEO. If you want to find something from him, you might as well look for it in your own company ... "When I saw this sentence, I just wanted to shake hands with this person excitedly and silently say," Comrade, comrade, finally found the party ... ". Don't call me a snob, I'm just excited. Hehe, enterprises have their own characteristics and laws, but they must not be superstitious about the "magic" theory summarized because of success.
Governance is a very complicated labor. Everyone has his own ideas on how to run a good business. I think it is uncertain whether some ideas are correct or not. Even if a set of governance ideas/methods is successful in practice, it is not necessarily the inevitability of success, and failure is not necessarily the root of failure. However, I have to admit that it is an eternal "truth" that the winner is king and the loser is a thief. Successful things are rarely questioned.
Many individuals refer to the successful experience of enterprises and are carefully interpreted and carved to the theoretical height of governance theory, which has broad significance. Many of them "interpret" and "carve" refer to where to play, and fans flock to it just because it has been successful. However, I firmly believe that people are most easily deceived by their own eyes. What you see is success, but you don't necessarily see the reason for success. It is not necessarily correct to think that its methods have promoted its success. Even if the method is very correct, it must be supported by various internal and external environments. When the environment changes, the environment will definitely change, and it has been changing, and the applicability of the method will also change, becoming more applicable or not applicable at all. We don't know. A famous person whose name I can't remember said, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Because the environment has changed, we need to practice again to know whether it is correct or not.
In my opinion, the most valuable part of a successful enterprise is that the manager uses his intelligence and ability to operate and manage a unique enterprise, not how many governance theories he has applied or created in the process of governance.
The characteristics of governance itself determine that it can not be completely rational, which is also the reason why governance theory and model can not be applied at will. An excellent governance method will always have some emotional ideas, combined with the characteristics of your own enterprise and the external environment. Successful cases will always exist, but success refers to a relatively high level of success. Profitable grocery stores are not included, but they cannot be copied. Because the environment is changing, the same method will not have the same environment again. The success of "the only constant is change" is certainly worth learning from. However, it is easier or more likely to create another success by seeing the essential problems revealed by success and understanding its way of thinking to get a successful method than by directly applying it. Hehe, my language ability is too poor, a bit like tongue twister. Sorry, reader.
There is no successful formula. Don't believe that following the footsteps of giants will grow into giants.
postscript
Many people mistakenly think that they are somewhat misled. As long as they imitate the practices of successful people, they will succeed. The marketing staff of Amway and Life Insurance instill the idea that success can be replicated, and secretly instill the idea of getting something for nothing, so that they believe that as long as you mechanically repeat sales, you will eventually succeed. I admire Amway's marketing model, and its marketing planning is very successful. I used to "mix" with the sales staff of Amway for a while. After patiently accepting his "indoctrination" to me, I told him: "Amway people keep teaching you how to make the' Amway career' bigger and better, but they have never taught you how to achieve another Amway. Even if you succeed, your level of success is very limited. " I'm glad he meditated. Because he remembers to think with his own brain. This postscript is just my idea, I don't want to vomit, nothing else.
Chapter III Success cannot be duplicated. It is the dream of many people to copy the successful experience of successful people, follow the footsteps of successful people and achieve the goal of being on an equal footing with successful people. However, can success be completely replicated? Can stones from other mountains really attack jade? Perhaps in the eyes of most people, success can be replicated, and people only need to imitate the successful experience of their predecessors, which will inevitably achieve twice the result with half the effort. But this may not be the case. In different historical backgrounds, we face different opportunities and challenges. The objective environment at this time was unattainable at that time. Similarly, the unique humanistic advantages at that time could not be reproduced at this time. Therefore, if we still ignore the changes in the general environment, ignore the personality differences between people, and continue to simply copy the successful experience of our predecessors, then we will inevitably be suspected of imitating others in our behavior and make the opposite mistakes in the final result.
The successful experience of predecessors cannot be completely copied, but it can be used for reference. A person's success comes from a combination of many factors, including learning from others' successful experiences. Reference should not come from a single individual, but should gather the strength of many families. Any "nutrition" that helps our progress should not be given up easily. Although learning from the successful experience of others can reduce the difficulties and obstacles on our way forward, this kind of learning must be based on selectivity. Blindly accept everything according to the order and affirm it in an all-round way at will, not only will it not improve our progress speed, but it will disrupt our established "trip" because of "acclimatization". Only by using dialectical thinking mode, abandoning all unnecessary blind worship, absorbing the strengths of various schools to the maximum extent, and at the same time adhering to the concept of "taking the essence and discarding the dross", can we go further from success.
The success of others cannot be replicated, so can our past successes be replicated? The answer I can give to this must be no, at least not completely. The progress of human society comes from constant innovation, and the development of things always follows the law of spiral rise. Under such circumstances, people's past glory may not repeat itself. If they want to restore their past glory, they must constantly update their knowledge level and improve their cognitive ability.
But unfortunately, due to the weakness of human nature, laziness and self-righteousness will become the main stumbling block for us to move on. People always like to revel in the joy of past success and try to forget the painful past of failure. People always regard occasional success as a kind of wealth and wrap themselves in this glory. Remembering success and forgetting failure will only keep you in the quagmire of complacency for a long time. Blindly denying the correctness of objective existence, stubbornly sticking to the wrong methods that have been tried and tried repeatedly, and focusing on every opportunity to "make a comeback" from time to time will lead to the recurrence of mistakes.
