According to Luo Yonghao's understanding, entrepreneurship should be a way of life, which can be owned by any company and any position. So I launched plus Club, hoping to help young people, mainly college students, innovate and start businesses.
Today's article tells about Jiang's sharing from the Department of Industrial Engineering of Tsinghua University. He is a participant in this research project. Now she is a second-year doctoral student. This is a great friend I met in Silicon Valley at the beginning of the year.
"I studied at Wuhan University of Technology as a bachelor, and it is also a great breakthrough for me to be able to study PhD in Tsinghua at present. Today, I mainly focus on my personal experience and share some of my own experiences.
20 1 1 When I first entered the university, I was looking forward to a new life like many college students. When I was a freshman, I joined many student organizations, including college student union, school student union, model association, badminton association and innovation and entrepreneurship club.
At that time, I was as confused as many freshmen and sophomore students. I want to try everything and participate in everything. There are enough choices after entering the university. What we need to think about is actually choosing the direction that suits us.
When I was a sophomore, I served as the small head of the above student organizations. At that time, the innovation and entrepreneurship club was not so popular. I was just a peddler, opening a shop, helping enterprises to do campus promotion and recruiting part-time and summer jobs. So when I was thinking about my future direction, I didn't choose this road.
As for my own logistics major, I feel that China is still quite backward, and this subject has only started for more than ten years. When I entered the United States during World War II, there were related disciplines, which made me feel the opportunity, so I set a goal and hoped to dig deeper in this field.
At this time, I thought of studying abroad. I am from Tianmen, Hubei Province, and I am a very backward county-level city. Due to poor family conditions, I have paid little attention to English since I was a child, which cost me a lot of effort. Unfortunately, I still failed the IELTS twice. At this time, I feel that there is little hope of studying abroad directly, and my growth has never been smooth sailing.
So from my sophomore year, I tried to embark on the road of insurance research, and one of my advantages was that I won some awards in Model Union and successfully published journal papers, which made me go smoothly on this road.
In fact, when it comes to insurance research, I am very uneasy in retrospect. Although Wuhan University of Technology is also a 2 1 1 college, the seniors and seniors of several departments in our school have never successfully applied for graduate studies in Tsinghua.
Let me tell you here that the publication of journal papers has helped me a lot. At that time, all the teachers around me told me not to think too much, because they found it difficult for many professors to contribute to this journal. What others say can't be done may not be done at all. How can you know the result without trying?
In the process of trying, I was really rejected because I only accepted the author's articles with the title of associate professor or above. I am actually quite happy to see this reply, because the reason for rejection is not the quality of my thesis. So I found a teacher at school to help me publish this paper successfully. He is the main author and I am the correspondent.
Through the efforts of my junior year, after I successfully applied for a graduate student, I made another decision in my senior year, that is, I went to Tsinghua to finish my undergraduate graduation project ahead of schedule. As a student who hasn't officially entered the school, I should come here in advance to feel the campus of Tsinghua. This should be the first person in my Tsinghua department to do this.
My real thoughts actually stem from my inferiority complex. I feel that my ability and vision are not as good as those of students in Tsinghua, like a frog in a well. And perhaps in the minds of many ordinary college students, Tsinghua is also so far away.
In my opinion, people are divided into 40%, and people at the bottom have few choices to make a living. People at the next higher level will actually get confused, because there are many choices and they don't know how to choose; People at the third level can directly filter out 90% of the information and only look at what they want; People at the top are the creators of information. Most of us should think about how to rise from the second level to the third level.
This needs us to do. After we have a goal, we will stop dreaming and act immediately. In fact, in my opinion, if you have a choice, as long as you act immediately, you will exceed 90% of the people. Tsinghua's school motto "Actions speak louder than words" has a great influence on me at present.
Finally, what I want to say is that reading more books can bring me a bigger vision and pattern. In addition, don't just pay attention to immediate interests, be patient and have a long-term vision! "
