To 20-year-old me
..I want to do something big. I want to build a company as big as Google or Amazon someday. Well..not exactly as big as Google then. Google is HUGE. No one can own something giant as that. So at least I want something big enough that people can recognize me with.
That’s a fair enough ‘mission statement’.
I want to be rich, like Donald J. Trump, a multi-billionare rich.
“You got to think big before anything big happens.” I firmly believe so. So here I am, with a big idea & with nothing in Asset & with little experience in real world business. How am I gonna do that? I don’t know. Well at least I know something. I have some business ideas. I have gut to go for something that big. I would sacrifice. I would take risk. I would learn and learn like hungry & foolish. I would fail but I would grow & stand again. I would fight. I would stay smart. I would try out every possible way I could. I would be a truly entrepreneur.
But one things bothers me as well. It’s education. You see, not all people suceed. And people with that huge sucess all have great education, by which I mean that they go to great schools or they earn higher degree than I do. I used to somehow believe in destiny & to feel that somehow you just cannot reach a certain height in your life, but now I find a better explanation. You see, education, IQ level, grades, net worth, they are all scorecard. You can still have that huge success without that kind of education. They go to Harvard, Stanford, and I go to JMU, so what? It’s JUST scorecard. It’s totally nothing if it prevents me from thinking something big. Something big in your life is too precious to be broken. Think BIG. Dream BIG. Whatever it is, just have it BIG.
In business, it’s always how you behave & how you make every decision & how you seize every opportunity & how you learn from failures & how you would think strategically & etc… I feel I know it, but that was far than enough. I still got a lot to learn. That’s real education; lifetime education, rather than what degrees you’ve earned or what schools you go to. So stay hungry & stay foolish.

留言越来越少，太伤心了。
把我的头像挂在国软教室外，这个主意很好. 应该挂在行政楼那边，提醒同学们不要轻易跳楼轻生。。
