《Mission》 For whom am I willing to give, and what am I willing to leave?
Find the soul before doing things!
A sense of mission:
Loving someone is happier than being loved!
Three levels of a sense of mission:
First, love those nearby well;
Second, create some value for customers;
Third, contribute to society.
Yet most businesses lacking a mission die at the first level. Many expect to be loved without knowing whom they love, perhaps never having loved. When I found my “love,” I discovered life full of value, meaning, sacredness, gratitude, happiness, and energy. Finding “love” meant finding everything! “Love,” it turns out, is the source of all positive energy!
“Love” gives oneself a direction and pursuit!
“Love” is the root of mission.
I am fortunate to have found my love. I deeply love my current family and friends, and my brothers in business. What about you? Have you found your “love”? Come! Fill in the blanks together; complete them and you are someone with a mission.
For whom do I give? What do I give?
Earning money is only a result, not the fundamental purpose and meaning. Life is not about what you possess, but what you can leave. Birth is accidental, death inevitable; in the end a handful of earth returns to nature. Cherish memories, cherish life, “love” those nearby well, find love, give love, pass love on, and be a real, simple person of positive energy!
《Dreams》 Does a dream’s meaning lie only in the moment it is finally realized?
If you cannot influence people, your inner energy is not great enough.
Once you have thought through the ultimate boundary—death—your energy becomes powerful.
Great people carry dreams, see through the ultimate boundary, and give humanity hope and guidance; great people can rebound even from the depths.
To judge whether someone is outstanding, do not look at how much money they have today, but at their ability to rebound when they were down in the past. Unextinguished conviction is a spark of fire!
Dreams are not for achieving, but for nourishing the soul!
《Not Believing It Yourself》 Before hoping others will believe in a goal, how much do I believe in it myself?
Why do employees not believe the boss’s goals?
Some say the goals are unreasonable; the goals are useless; employees will not buy it…
These are all appearances
The underlying core is that your inner energy cannot carry your words.
In other words, you cannot boast! The bigger you can boast, the bigger the things you can accomplish. All political and religious leaders can give humanity “hope”!
And when a boast falls apart, there is only one reason: “You do not believe it yourself.”
《Maintain Independent Pursuits》 When everyone around me chases the same trend, how can I keep my own direction?
The first prerequisite for a rich life is being as self-disciplined as reasonably possible and not doing things that harm yourself. The second is preserving a relatively independent, free identity as much as possible, without blindly following others. A couple of days ago I visited Silicon Valley and felt it is especially vulgar now. A few years ago it was full of “.com”; now everything has become “.ai,” showing that Silicon Valley is also a place that follows trends. **If you are an independent individual, someone wholeheartedly intent on living your own life better, maintaining independent pursuits is very important.**
《Dreams and Mission》 What do dreams and a mission each require me to shoulder?
Dreams provide direction; a mission shoulders responsibility. Both must be grounded in specific people and matters.
《A Mission Shows in Long-Term Commitment》 Beyond momentary gains and losses, how can I test my sincerity toward my mission?
Do not define a mission by momentary gains and losses; test sincerity through long-term commitment.
