Three years ago, on the first day of the year, on the day my child was born, I was just pushed out of the delivery room and back to the ward, and I saw on TV, Academician Zhong Nanshan was saying to Bai Yansong:
“Now it can be said that there is definitely person-to-person transmission.”
Everyone knows what happened in the next three years.
However, there is no winter that cannot be overcome, and there is no spring that will not come. Today, I would like to talk to everyone about the two thoughts and changes that these three years have brought me.
Learn to return to a real and complete life
Before 2019, I really enjoyed going out and having fun - traveling, hiking, shopping, wandering around. I took all of these things for granted, like the company of my family and the concern of my friends.
But in the past 3 years, sometimes we have had to be forced to stay at home with our families and not go out. That's when I realized that the topics we talked about at home were still not enough, and the phone calls of concern were still not frequent enough.
In the past 3 years, my focus has shifted from simply "making a contribution" and all the fanciful information on the internet to consciously "managing my own life.”
I pay more attention to a "complete me" and focus on real people and things "around me." Because these are the basic elements that build my life and career.
The friends around me, the partners in my career, the family who gives me spiritual strength, these are like my support. The feeling is very real and irreplaceable.
Learn to get back to basics
Three years ago, my business suddenly declined, and with my children still being very young, my career went through a trough.
Many of my friends were also facing the same situation, some industries disappeared, while others suddenly flourished.
The word "change" permeates every industry.
I also participated in some offline activities and discussions of this kind. I believe everyone has heard a lot of macro analysis. Looking at the micro level, all of this affects each person, each family's life and the direction of their career.
However, in these 3 years, I found that there are still many people and enterprises doing well. After communicating with them, I have concluded that in fact, all the reasons are very simple - no matter what the external environment is like, if an enterprise wants to survive and develop, it must return to the essence of business and management; for individuals, it is to cultivate inner strength, improve every day, and become a better self.
2023 has arrived. I feel that 2023 has been given too much hope and expectation by everyone. But I think that the real challenge of 2023 has just begun.
Finally, I would like to share with everyone: if you still have a healthy body, sleep when it gets dark, and wake up normally the next day; if you still have the chance to spend more time with your family and partner; if you still have ideals, poetry and a distant future - then please continue to move forward with gratitude.
The future has come, let's embrace the life ahead together!
