Five sentences from the president of Tsinghua University

The five sentences of the president of Tsinghua University are as follows:

Future world: direction is more important than hard work, ability is more important than knowledge, health is more important than achievement, life is more important than diploma, and emotional intelligence is more important than IQ!

1, direction is more important than effort.

Now is the time to pay attention to performance. Companies, enterprises and governments need people who are capable and can develop in the direction of enterprises, not people who work hard but in the opposite direction. There are many innate decisions about what industry and occupation you are suitable for, just to fully explore your potential, rather than always fighting against your weaknesses.

Only one person can get ahead, just like many enterprises now think that turkeys can learn to climb trees through training and education, but they still think it is more convenient to choose a pine tree. If you are in the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to become the person you want to be.

2. Ability is more important than knowledge.

Knowledge is only superficial in a person's framework, that is to say, some people can answer how to manage enterprises, how to solve thorny problems, how to be a good mayor and so on on on the answer sheet, but in the face of reality, they seem to be at a loss and always ask why this is the case, what kind of situation it should be, and so on. Their knowledge is only knowledge, and it can't evolve into ability, let alone explore their potential through ability.

Nowadays, many enterprises are studying the competency model to observe whether the candidate is qualified for the position from the perspective of competency. Of course, high ability can't be directly linked with high performance, and the exertion of ability is within a certain mechanism, environment, work content and responsibility. Without these platforms and environments, no matter how high the ability is, it can only be wiped out.

Health is more important than achievement.

Achievements can only represent the past, which is a sentence that many people agree with. For graduates who go to work after graduation, their achievements in the student stage will become permanent certificates posted on the wall, and entering a work unit will herald new competition and a new starting line. Without a healthy body and mind, how to deal with the unpredictable market environment and life changes, and how to deal with the contradiction between work pressure and personal desire for achievement?

Moreover, in modern society, having a strong body is not the most important thing, and healthy psychology is increasingly put on the agenda. Dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, bearing setbacks and pains, and relieving stress and depression will all become problems that wage earners and even students often face.

Life is more important than diploma.

There is a story that everyone should have heard. It is said that a reporter asked a child who was herding sheep why he was herding sheep. A: What do you do to make money? A: Building a house, for what? A: Marry a wife. Why marry a daughter-in-law? A: Have a baby. Why have children? A: herding sheep!

I remember listening to a professor of the National People's Congress give a lecture on the basic course of management last year. He said that although you are all graduate students, many of you are still farmers at heart! Everyone was surprised and whispering. He said, why do you want to go to graduate school? Do many people want to find a good job? For what? In order to find a good wife, they can eat, drink and live a good life, and then have children. Aren't these the simple ideas of farmers for a brighter future for their children? Farmers' parents don't want their children to be better than themselves?

When this society attaches importance to diplomas, fake diplomas become an industry. Even a person with strong ability has to get a diploma and stick some gold on his face. Is a diploma more important than life? Many people look for girlfriends or boyfriends and take education as one of the indicators. They hope that the other person can give their partner warmth and romance, and hope that he/she is knowledgeable, has the same or higher education, and can prosper in his/her career.

I want to say that you are looking for a partner, not a partner, not a colleague. Life is life. This man is suitable for you. Even if you are a doctor, he/she doesn't know a word, it doesn't matter. Appropriate is harmonious. People are more important than diplomas. Many successful people say that they care too much about their jobs and careers when they look back. The most regrettable thing is that I have never been with my parents, loved my children, and often cried. Why bother?

EQ is more important than IQ.

This is very interesting. Everyone suddenly attaches importance to emotional intelligence, because in the new century, emotional intelligence will become one of the most important factors for successful leadership. For example, when many employees and their relatives were killed by terrorist attacks, the CEO of a company, Mark? Loehr calmed himself down, gathered the suffering employees together and said, we don't have to go to work today, so we are here to remember our loved ones and express our condolences to them and their loved ones.

In that cloudy week, he helped himself and his employees with his own practical actions, making them bear grief and turning grief into enthusiasm for hard work. While many enterprises are losing money, their company's turnover has doubled. This is the power of emotional intelligence leadership, and it is an art that combines self-emotional control, high patience and high interpersonal responsibility.

A reporter once made things difficult for an entrepreneur: I heard that you failed a certain course in college many times. The entrepreneur calmly replied: I envy smart people. Those smart people can become scientists, engineers, lawyers and so on, while we stupid poor people can only manage them.

To be a successful person, you don't have to have a high IQ to get a chance of success. If you have a high emotional intelligence, know how to explore the resources around you, and even use limited resources to open up a new world and snowball your own resources, then you will also succeed. People who get ahead in the world can take the initiative to find what they want. If they can't find it, they will create it themselves.
