Duan Yongping talked for 3 hours at Zhejiang University, and I only remembered these 3 sentences, each one seemed to say something about me Family, let me ask you a heart wrenching question first: Are you busy every day, so busy that you don't have time to eat, sleep, or spend time with your family, but looking back after a year, it seems like there's nothing left? You are the one who works overtime until dawn. It's you who dare not turn off your phone on weekends. You are the one who wants to learn everything and is afraid of missing out on everything. But at the end of the year, in summary, it's not you who got promoted, it's not you who got a raise, and the most tiring one is still you. It's too real. Recently, Duan Yongping gave a speech at Zhejiang University. No PPT, no script, just sitting and chatting with students. We talked for almost 3 hours, without any advanced theories throughout, just some 'common sense'. But it was these common sense that made the students present say, 'It's like being stabbed with a knife.'. Today, I picked out the three most heart wrenching sentences. If you are currently in a state of confusion, anxiety, and wanting to grasp everything but unable to grasp anything These three sentences are worth reading 10 times over and over again. The first sentence: If you take a long time to look at the problem, 90% of the internal friction will disappear Duan Yongping said something very simple: "If you take a long time to look at the problem, internal friction will naturally be eliminated What does it mean? The things you are currently anxious about - the leader's bad attitude towards you today, colleagues taking credit for you, the stock market falling by 3 points, peers earning more than you Do these things still matter if you pull the timeline to 10 years later? unimportance. You may not even remember. But you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, and internal friction every day, consuming a lot of emotional energy. Duan Yongping said, "Think about the essence and look at the long-term. If you can't understand something, take a longer look He used this sentence himself for 30 years. When I bought NetEase in 2002, everyone said, 'This company is going bankrupt.'. He looked at it for a long time: the cash in this company's account is far from the supermarket value, and users cannot do without its games. In 10 years, it will definitely be stronger than it is now. Later, NetEase rose more than 100 times. When I bought Apple in 2016, everyone said, 'The iPhone is no longer innovative.'. He looked at it for a long time: iOS ecosystem iMessage、App Store， Once users enter, they cannot exit. In 10 years, it will definitely be stronger than it is now. Later, Apple became the company with the highest market value in the world. Family, the things you encountered that kept you awake for 10 years are really not worth mentioning. The person who puts out the fire can never build their own house Duan Yongping asked a question: "Are you building houses every day or putting out fires every day People who build houses - spend time every day studying, thinking, exercising, and managing relationships. In the short term, there may not be any immediate effect, but 10 years later, I have my own 'house'. Firefighters - deal with urgent but unimportant tasks every day: responding to emails, messages, and dealing with unexpected situations. Busy all day, but left nothing behind. The important things need to be planned in advance, and the firefighters cannot afford to build their own houses Why was he able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination at Renmin University at the age of 26, establish Xiaobawang at the age of 30, and transform into an investor at the age of 40? Because he has been 'building houses', not' putting out fires'. When he was a technician in the factory, others played cards and drank after work. He taught himself English, read business books, and observed the market. He has studied the consumption trends of products such as washing machines, rice cookers, and air conditioners. He's not so busy every day, but he spends his time on the 'right things'. Duan Yongping has an even more harsh sentence: "If you find something wrong, change it immediately. No matter how much it costs, it's the smallest cost If you're in a pit, at least don't dig any deeper How many people know they have chosen the wrong industry, followed the wrong people, and taken the wrong path, but they are reluctant to bear the sunk costs they have already paid and continue digging into the pit. The deeper you dig, the harder it is to come out. The person who puts out the fire is always busy, and the person who builds the house may seem leisurely, but 10 years later, the two are on completely different floors. The essence of choice is to choose one's future self Duan Yongping said, "Your choice today determines what you will look like in 10 years This sentence may sound like nonsense, but Duan Yongping gave it a completely new explanation: The essence of choice is not to dwell on current gains and losses, but to choose one's future self. You are struggling with which of two jobs to choose - not more money than which one can make you a better person. You are struggling with whether to marry this person - not to treat you better than him, and whether you can become a better version of yourself by being with him. You are struggling with whether to learn a new skill - whether it is harder or not, whether you have time, and whether you will be grateful for making this choice today, compared to 10 years later. Duan Yongping also added, "Only having in-depth conversations with like-minded people, ineffective explanations only consume energy Someone asked him, "Why did you sell Alibaba to buy Nvidia?" He said, "If you don't understand, don't follow It's not arrogance, it's clarity. People who understand you can understand with just one sentence; People who don't understand you, it's useless to talk nonsense. Save the time for explanation, communicate with like-minded people, and build your house. There are two judgments in the style of Duan Yongping Regarding investment: Investment focuses on holding high-quality assets, such as riding the elevator to grow. Finding a good company is like taking an upward elevator. No matter how hard you try, the elevator won't take you up as quickly But he also reminded, "Value investing ≠ long-term holding. You naturally don't want to sell good companies, and holding bad companies for as long as you want is always wrong Regarding health: Health is 1, the rest is 0. Duan Yongping now plays basketball, exercises, and goes to bed and wakes up early every day. He said, "The most important thing about investing is being able to sit at the table all the time Without health, wealth, status, reputation - all are zero. In conclusion The real value of Duan Yongping's speech at Zhejiang University is not those golden phrases. What's valuable is that he spent 30 years doing one thing - sticking to 'common sense' until the end. Most people overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in ten years The next time you feel anxious, lost, and feel like it's too late, stretch the timeline to 10 years. Then ask yourself three questions: Is what I am doing now still meaningful in 10 years? Am I building a house or fighting a fire? Will I be grateful for myself in 10 years for today's choice? Is what you are doing now still meaningful in 10 years?
