In the future, what kind of person can seize the most scarce dividend?

Sales and Marketing

We often discuss and chase all kinds of dividends:

Flow dividend, capital dividend, platform dividend...

However, there is another kind of dividend, which may be the most scarce, the most competitive, and the most easy to be ignored by everyone:Value dividend.

On hearing this, someone might jump right up: What? Values? And dividends? Isn't it written on the wall for others to see? Are you serious?

Of course. Thought determines action.

I also found that as the business environment matured and normalized, "values" were no longer just words. In the future, a "value dividend" may only be available to a very small number of people.

There are certain values that should be known and practiced as early as possible.

Passion

What is passion?

Passion, is a burning dream, is the future section, is what the world will look like, is you mention it is particularly excited.

I'm not kidding. Many people may work hundreds of hours a week for their dreams, tirelessly. For example, let everyone have a computer on the desktop, like the eradication of poverty and hunger, such as the arrival of distant planets. Or simply to improve the lives of yourself and your family. With passion, you have the power to stimulate your heart.

So you know, when a person has no passion, he is a lack of internal motivation. Such people are not worth cooperating with.

Why? Because the loss of passion, it is inevitable to go to the opposite of things - cynicism. What kind of person is this? You said, "Work hard, I'll give you a promotion." He said, forget it, that means more to do.

What you're doing, you say, could change the lives of millions of people. He said, why can't those people change themselves.

You said, you do not want to become CEO, marry Bai Fumei, on the peak of life.

'I'm not interested in peak life, 'he said. You talk to him about dreams and goals, he says the economy is not good, the industry is not, the customer is not bad, the team is not able, in short, these are not good. Nothing could ignite the fire in him. Such a person is not worth cooperating with and cannot cooperate with.

In the same way, you will also know that today many people are beginning to "Buddha," which may not be very good.

What is the real "Buddha system"?

The real Buddha system is after experiencing the big wind and big waves, only to realize the flat light is true.

Today, the "Buddha system" of many people is more like an excuse, which is to give up treatment after being tortured by reality.

We can take "Buddha" as a joke and relaxation, but don't really "Buddhism."

The Buddha, there is no passion.

There is no passion for people, nothing can motivate, no matter how good the car, can only be pushed to go. Without passion, life is towed by a tow truck, and while you sit in the car, all you can do is watch others drive by while you wander around looking for the next gas station.

Passion is a burning dream. Ordinary people use matches, "madmen" use torches. Don't be afraid to be crazy, crazy can be a hero.

And if it fails? That's crazy at least once.

If you can put your own experience into the alchemy furnace of Lao Jun, if only a grain of elixir, that is: passion, fanatical passion

Accept the great challenge

With passion, we can accept and face challenges.

Not just a challenge, but a "huge" challenge.

How is it possible to hear a "huge" challenge and break into a cold sweat? Can't we finish?

But in the face of great challenges, it is possible to stimulate potential, access to several times the speed of growth.

In high school gym class, everyone jumps the pommel horse together. Suddenly the physical education teacher said: "you who dare to try, vertical jump over?"

Vertical jump, very difficult, because in case not jump past, the body may directly stuck above.

But I decided to give it a try. I know, want to jump over, the key is the run-up speed, and the fulcrum of the hand, the hand should try to stretch forward.

When I was struggling to run, "pop" a press down, hard jump, that moment what do not remember. But by the time the reaction came, the man was already standing on the opposite palm pad. The past seems like a long time ago, and now the thing is, I did it.

Confidence, is so little by little.

So the "big" challenge can seem like a small thing, but the key is to overcome yourself again and again.

So I like to take on big challenges after work.

When I was at Microsoft, I applied to join the "hero team," and rushed to the front line of the battle. I would stay awake for days and nights, living in the office, and then find a sleeping bag to lie in the meeting room.

I also took the initiative to apply for the most important customer service, carrying 3 mobile phones, often got up from bed in the middle of the night to answer international calls.

Such things, there are many more.

What I would say is, if possible, take on the "big" challenge.

Because one day you will find that life and the reality of "huge" is really unimaginable.

The great challenge is to practice yourself before the day of discovery.

Responsible and reliable

Reliable, is a precious quality. To say that a person is reliable is a high praise.

What is reliable?

Being reliable is about making people feel reliable, committed, and fully responsible for their actions and results.

Put it more bluntly, can handle the matter.

A lot of people can't handle things.

When fighting to plug the loophole, instead of being the first to rush, but when the deserter.

Things didn't work out well, he said it was the temp doing it, the intern doing it and it was someone else's problem.

That's not good.

One thing to you, a heavy burden, can you carry?

The burden is loaded with the complexity of the external environment, the limitation of internal resources, the evil and cunning of the enemy, and your ability and power. The burden on one's shoulders can be overwhelming.

But can you carry it?

The person who can carry the matter, has the responsibility, can go up.

Sometimes, do not want to carry, can not carry, may be very safe, but will not let people really admire and rest assured.

Openness and respect

It should not be the prologue and disclaimer to criticize others, but really keep an open and respectful mind.

At what level is it open? At what level?

Be open to discussion and respectful of character and outcome.

When I was at Microsoft, I once sat on a conference call between the CEO of Greater China and Microsoft's global CEO, Steve Ballmer.

At that meeting, I was in a cold sweat.

The two CEO, actually in the phone back and forth each other "attack," arguing for red. One said there was a problem with your views, the other said your views were not thought through.

I even think that two people want to choke each other down the line.

Unbelievable.

Such a thing, in the side is difficult to see, we can hardly see a working state called "open."

We see more of, "Boss, what you say is what it is."

At the meeting, the boss said, "Got it?" Got it. Is there a problem? Nobody raised their hands. You know what to do? Nobody nodded or shook their heads.

Anyway, noncommittal.

Wait until the end of the meeting, whoever likes to do it. I didn't say I was going to do it or I wasn't going to. Anyway...

From the perspective of communication, this is not an open state, and from the point of view of work, it is an inefficient state.

Being open is having an open discussion about whether it's right or wrong, good or bad.

Then, respect other people's personalities.

The end of the discussion, even if the heart is not completely agreed, but also respect the results, their implementation.

Perhaps to say a word, sometimes our hearts should be stronger. During the discussion, it is not who wants to deliberately target you and frame you, it may just be that this thing is not done right, and the plan is not good enough.

To be open and respectful is to have the opportunity to build an effective network of collaboration and progress.

Strict demands on self

This, it should not be said. Self-discipline is the basic skill.

A lot of times, people will say, "How he's how," "how he how"...

Try changing "him" to "me."

"How am I how" "how I am how"...

Others how, others have not done, is other people's business. But I'm gonna do it.

The boss said to give me the plan next Monday.

If I'm strict, I'll hand it in this Wednesday.

I know that some people may say sarcastic remarks, or even call you stupid.

However, because you gave it in advance, you have more time to communicate with your boss and change it, so the next Monday will be a more perfect version.

These words sound familiar, but really ask yourself:"Can I try harder today?" "Can I set a higher standard for myself?"

Because I often hear people say that I am smart, I want to bring talent where.

If you're talented, congratulations.

But with the efforts of many people, it is not the turn to spell talent.

It's a little pricked, but it's true.

Sometimes, self-strict requirements sound too empty, too far, then try to start from the simplest things.

For example: get up early.

You decide to get up at 7: 00 tomorrow morning, run, recite English words, or better shape for work.

At exactly 7: 00 a.m., the alarm went off. Here you go. The most important decision of your life. Do you kick the alarm clock, or bravely get up?

Self-strict demands. It will pay off.

Integrity & Honesty

Finally, the most fundamental and important values - integrity and honesty.

Integrity is having a set of standards for judging right and wrong and never doing wrong. Honesty is never lying.

It is reflected in the company's system, the performance of the work, and the day-to-day person.

Once, my colleagues and I were going to see a mayor.

We prepared a small gift, a keyboard, a common keyboard that you can buy in any store.

Can not, can not send too expensive things. Because Microsoft rules: within a year, can not give a regular customer accumulated more than 50 dollars together.

Otherwise, it's bribery.

But that keyboard, in some stores, costs more than $50, in others less. Right on that threshold.

Send? Or not?

On the way to see the mayor, we kept calling, asking the legal department if we could deliver it, and you could give us a definite word. If we can't deliver, we won't take it out.

After a final discussion, the Legal Department gave us permission to send the keyboard.

That's right. It's that strict.

There are times when we really hate the legal department, but they are the ones who maintain the integrity of the company.

Some people know after saying, your company really like this? Too serious?

Really.

I often feel strange, integrity and honesty, this is not a person, an enterprise the most basic bottom line and requirements? Do not know when, integrity and honesty as a joke, or a supreme reward.

So, some things, do not do.

Example: The supplier sends a shopping card at the end of the year. Can't take it.

For example: the company's customer at the end of the year issued a 200 yuan red envelope. Can't take it.

For example: other companies hold conferences, invite you to meetings and cover travel expenses. Can't go.

These things, the form of professional bribery.

Integrity and honesty are important components of business ethics.

Business methods, which determine how high you fly; But business ethics can determine how far you fly.

Perhaps you will say, involuntarily how to do?

You can't do the right thing, at least, you can do the wrong thing; You can't tell the whole truth, at least, you can not lie.

Integrity and honesty are about making the world a simpler, more productive and healthier place to live.

Last words

I know that there are many companies and individuals who want to do things in accordance with very positive values, but a little bit of "positive" will not survive.

So, have to invite people to dinner, accompany people to drink, give gifts, or there will be no orders and business. However, we should also know that many companies and individuals, relying on very positive values to live today, and live well. There are more and more such companies and individuals; Such an era is getting closer and closer.

Some people can make money clean, only some people believe that can clean net money. Some people enjoy the value bonus, only then some people believe that there is a value bonus. As the business environment improves and the business world becomes more regulated, people will desire, need, recognize and like these values. Values, but also the future of the few people can enjoy the potential energy and dividends.

When you believe in and follow these values, you will find that your appearance may not change, your clothes may not be changed, your hair is not changed, but your inner, has been completely transformed.
