1 thought on “Wang Xing: Don't take yourself too seriously”
Ernestine
Meituan is the hottest company in recent years.
Wang Xing graduated from Tsinghua University. Many people have analyzed from the perspective of enterprises and markets, but they did not have a wonderful person who did not have a personal description.
In 2017, the founder of Meituan Wang Xing was invited to return to Tsinghua University to give a speech. In this speech, he took his entrepreneurial journey as an example to give the younger brothers and sisters. Three suggestions:
don't take yourself too seriously;
don't take yourself too seriously; When it comes to.
This suggestions are not only a message to graduates, but also some beliefs that Wang Xing has always maintained.
Hi everyone, I am very happy to have the opportunity to return to the campus tonight. When I just stood on this stage, I felt like the stage in the old Mengmin Wei Concert Hall, which is also a small stage. I remembered that when I performed on the stage in the art troupe's dance team nineteen years ago, I just sat below just now. The tension I felt was not the same as 19 years ago.
This kind of tension is more filled and magnificent, because I think 20 years have passed, you are still so young, and we have spent 20 years studying in Tsinghua , I am very envious of the youth you have.
Today, I believe that many students are facing the upcoming graduation, or maybe less than a year or two years or two after a few months, but in the end you will leave Tsinghua Going to society, just like we did it 16 years ago.
So I wonder what suggestions can be given to everyone, although everyone can not take the suggestion seriously, because the suggestion is basically based on the summary of the past limited experience, but since as a senior who came here, as a senior who came here There have been many frustrations on the outside, and a senior who has been trying continuously. When you face graduation and face the campus, I want to share three suggestions with you.
don't take yourself seriously
The first. I think it is very important. Don't take yourself too seriously.
It, I think it is particularly important to classmates in Tsinghua. Maybe everyone will face a lot of embarrassment before, but don't forget, before you enter school, I believe that in your elementary school, especially, especially, especially, especially When you are in high school, you must be the best in all parts of the country, the school hegemony, and the outstanding people in all aspects.
Because you are Xueba, you are so excellent, so you have the opportunity to enter the campus of Tsinghua University. This university in the country is undoubtedly the best university, and it is about to become a world -class university in the world. That's because of your excellent past.
but I believe most of you, like me, suffered a lot of impact after entering Tsinghua, or a series of blows, so after three, four years, or more, you are in Tsinghua University. At the same time, you will be exercised to a certain extent, while you also wear some of your aspirations, which will make you feel that you are just a very ordinary, and you face many challenges, many setbacks, and many confusing students in all aspects. When you are about to leave the campus, you don't know if you are more challenging society, and whether it is more difficult to accept. I believe it is normal to have this idea. So I want to remind you: Don't take yourself too seriously.
In years ago, you are the best students. After several years of training in Tsinghua, of course, after experiencing a blow, you should believe that although your self -confidence has experienced a blow, you are experiencing After these, your ability to fight and fight and all aspects of the ability will be enhanced. When you walk out of the campus, you will realize that you have a strong and strong competitiveness. I am very touched by this.
Is when I was studying in the United States in 2003, I was also very puzzled at the time, and I didn't know what I could do. Later, because of the opportunity to see social networks, I returned to China to start a business impulsively. When they started a business with Wang Huiwen, in fact, we really couldn't. Although we graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering, we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have studied computer programming before, but we have learned computer programming before. We have not developed a website systematically, so we buy books and learn.
So when we started a business in 2004, we were studying. I could n’t, the technology could not, and the management was even more. According to my elders, you have not been managed. If you have been managed, campus marketing will not do it, but we will roll up step by step, and we will learn if there is nothing.
In after we did Meituan in 2010, because it was an O2O thing, it was combined online and offline. The merchant talks, we have never done this. Before that, the biggest promotion I had done was campus promotion. At the earliest in Tsinghua, when the 1998 entrepreneurial competition, the school posted a poster. If you organized the event, you would know that the school was posted on the school. This is also the starting point for our campus promotion.
In 2005 and 200 years of the school network. We posted posters on campus across the country. This was the earliest O2O at that time, so by 2010, we expanded to 100 and 200 cities across the country. Although we can't know before, we are studying.
I I was very impressed. In 2010 and 2011, one night we met very late. Everyone discussed a lot of content and finally needed to sort out a meeting minutes. I asked the assistant if you would use the Visio tool, he said no, but I could learn.
"No, but I can learn." This sentence has endless power. You can solve all kinds of problems that you have not encountered and will not solve. I believe that learning is the biggest advantage of all students in Tsinghua. So don't take yourself too seriously. This is my first important suggestion for everyone.
MOND should take yourself seriously
but the second suggestion is a bit opposite to the first suggestion, just don't take yourself too seriously.
, although you have learned very well before, you have learned a lot in Tsinghua, but unfortunately, after you walk out of the campus, you will find that many of you have learned and cannot be applied directly.
No matter what you learn, learn electronic engineering, and computer, if you learn the management management, you will find that you can do it if you walk out of the campus. It's not the case. You will find that you have a lot of specific content, either outdated, outdated, or some courses because the settings are unreasonable, which is not combined with reality.
So although everyone here is from Tsinghua University and graduated from the top school in the country, you still have a lot of unsure. But even worse, don't think that you do well in school and do not do well outside. This is the unfairness of society for you. No matter what you encounter, the worst is to complain about the environment.
I I believe everyone will find at school that Tsinghua is a good school, but Tsinghua still has many unsatisfactory places, but if you spend your energy on complaints, you can't complain about unsatisfactory complaints. Local, without improving it, or ignoring it for the time being, if you spend your energy on the place you can improve, then your four years in Tsinghua may not have the best use. rnrn同样的，你毕业之后，不管加入什么公司，如果你不是很积极的拥抱一切变化，而是以为「我是一个名牌大学的学生，我是清华的学生，我是"Excellent graduate", unwilling to start with the most basic things, then you are likely that you will miss a lot of opportunities.
The may improve in recent years. In the past few years, in fact, there are many criticisms for Tsinghua students. It is typical that Huawei is a very respectable global leading company in China. Although the quality of Tsinghua recruiting students is good, they are not in line with Huawei's hard -working corporate culture, so in fact, in Huawei, Tsinghua students may not be able to achieve the greatest success.
So no matter what school you were before, when you graduated, when you go to the society and enter the enterprise, you have to forget everything before. All the achievements in the past have nothing to do with the future. Your past payments, because customers will not pay for your past, what services will the customer only provide you in the end, what products do you provide, their products, their performance, their experiences So the company also cares about this, so what you have to do is not to take yourself too seriously, forget everything about the past, embrace new things, learn new things, and everything starts with customers.
This may be the things that our younger brothers and sisters of Tsinghua have to face. Not only the IQ is high, but also the high emotional intelligence. Starting at the bottom, otherwise, Tsinghua classmates who have been in Huawei before may not be able to play the best. In many places that are very competitive, they need to be centered on, they need to work hard for a long time. It may not be able to play the best, it will be very regrettable. So this is my second suggestion, don't take yourself too seriously.
MOR too should take others seriously
The third suggestion may be more controversial, and don't take it too seriously.
Because this era has changed so fast, many suggestions around you, whether it is a past expert, or the old colleagues, or even the superior, their superior, their superior, their superior, their superiors, their own superior, their their superior, their their superiors, and their superiors. Opinions, their experience is not necessarily right, this is a unique issue in our time.
As early as 200 years ago, before the industrial revolution, people may have no changes in life, or the change is slow. However, the back is the growth of geometry, especially in recent years, the changes are so fast. On the one hand, the changes in science and technology have changed for more than 50 years with Moore's Law as the bottom. The progress of transformation will make everyone face unprecedented impact in terms of technology and culture. Last year, Trump was able to come to the stage that everyone understood that before it happened, everyone felt unlikely, but later thought it was almost a matter of course. This matter will happen in all aspects of work.
The most extreme teaching is to learn several types, one is called forward, learning from the elders, and the other is parallel learning. You have to learn from our peers, but maybe we are about to enter In a society, you have to learn down and learn from young people, because many of your past experiences will expire quickly.
This is that I said at the beginning, you are ten or twenty years younger than me, you have a very, very bright future, there are many things we learn with you, so this is my third III Click, don't take it too seriously.
But there is an exception. The only thing that needs to be seriously done is what we have done in Meituan for a long time. You should be centered on customers. You can take all the rules of other rules, but only one you must adhere to, no matter what you do, what level of positions you are, you must be customer -centric, and in the end, you must not be improper. From all perspectives, no matter what positions you do, no matter what level you are, whether you follow the rules or breakthrough rules, you should create value for customers.
This, whether it is the post of product manager, the post of engineer, the post of customer service manager, or the position of regional expansion manager Things, but there is only one, you must treat customers as a matter of incident, because only this determines the success or failure of a company. And a correctly operated enterprise will take the customer -centric as a criterion for evaluating everyone, so don't take it too seriously about others, but you must take your customers seriously.
So after these three points, when you are facing what you choose to do, what you should do, I think you should do what you want, because there are so many opportunities in front of you, you have so many opportunities in front of you , So don't be disturbed by some temptations in front of you. I said this particularly, because we discussed internally before, we felt that multinational companies really delayed a very good generation of young people in China 20 years ago.
Is when our classmates graduated twenty years ago, they chose to go to multinational companies, IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, and Procter
