Chapter 1198: I Laugh at Others to See It
Today, we are very honored to invite Mr. Elon Musk and Mr. Bian Xuedao to our school for on-site exchanges, and I hope that everyone will cherish this rare opportunity to communicate, and at the same time abide by the order of the venue and the rules of questioning, and strive to gain something." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info below, the question starts, raise your hand if you have a question, and the student who gets the microphone can ask a question. ”
"Huh!"
The vice principal's voice fell, and the audience was densely packed with raised arms.
The staff handed the microphone to a male student in the front row, and the male student immediately stood up and said fluently in English: "I want to ask Mr. Musk, do you have an idol?"
Musk picked up the microphone and replied: "I adore great scientists and engineers, like Nikola Tesla, Edison, Einstein, Newton, George Stephenson. ”
Student: "Do you have faith?"
Musk: "No. ”
Student: "Do you think you're more of an engineer or more of a businessman?"
Elon Musk: "Engineer. ”
Student: "Are you confident in your career?"
Elon Musk: "Tesla and SpaceX were both on the verge of bankruptcy, and there is an element of luck in getting to where they are today, and I am always mentally prepared to be exhausted, in fact, I think the end result is likely to be failure." ”
The microphone passed into the hands of a tall and thin boy:
Student: "Mr. Musk, what was your entrepreneurial experience, can you share it with us?"
Musk: "It's hard to create, most people are very optimistic at the beginning of the business, they feel that they have infinite possibilities, but most of them don't feel this way after six months, and if they experience a few failures, they will face extreme pain." ”
Student: "You mean entrepreneurship is discouraged?"
Elon Musk: "Of course not. If you see some needs of society, or that the people around you have something they particularly want, you can find some like-minded people to do something about this thing, solve this need, and meet this need. This demand is the right direction for entrepreneurship. ”
Student: "Do you encourage students to start their own businesses?"
Elon Musk: "Yes. I think the best time to start a business is when you are studying or just graduated, because there is no too much responsibility, you don't have to support your family, and there is more room for challenging risks. Personally, I look forward to everyone joining the wave of changing the world with science and technology, and strive to use the power of science and technology to explore new ways of human existence. ”
Student: "Can you tell us about the book that inspires you the most?"
Elon Musk: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...... This book taught me that the real challenge is figuring out what questions to ask, and once you get the right questions, the rest is easy to solve. ”
Microphone Delivery ......
A female student: "I want to ask Mr. Bian, a few years ago you were a college student, and now you are the boss of a large company, will you have a confused identity?"
Bian Xuedao picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "A mature person will reconstruct his self-perception according to his position. ”
Schoolgirl: "Do you think our society is fair?"
As soon as the problem came out, several school leaders sitting in the audience immediately condensed their expressions and said in their hearts: How did you do it, this kind of problem actually appeared.
On the stage, while learning the Tao, he did not change his face, and calmly replied: "This world is interesting because it is unfair." ”
After thinking about it, the female student asked, "What kind of job do you think graduates find is a good job?"
Bian Xuedao: "I personally think that the so-called good job is not a job that you go in to raise, but a job where you can learn things, because the iron rice bowl that raises you may be smashed by someone, but no one can take away the skills you raise yourself." ”
The interaction continues......
When the 10th student was asked, Musk suddenly proposed that he choose the questioner himself, and the four staff members in the audience looked at each other and then nodded.
The microphone was passed, and a boy with glasses asked, "I'm interested in spacex, can I visit it?"
Elon Musk: "It's okay for you to come to Tesla, but the U.S. government will prevent us from taking people who aren't U.S. citizens on a tour of SpaceX because they think it's an advanced weapon technology." ”
Student: "What do you think of fuel vehicles?"
Elon Musk: "I think gasoline cars are quite ridiculous, they produce noise, they produce pollution, and sustainable energy is the future. ”
Student: "How can I start a successful business?"
Elon Musk: "Get the right direction, then work hard and stick with it for the long haul." ”
Student: "How can I be more successful than others?"
Elon Musk: "Either you don't do it, or you have to do it." ”
Student: "What is the purpose of your research on rockets?"
Musk: "I hope that the development of space technology will allow more people to go to other planets, and I hope that human beings will become a transplanetary species." ”
Student: "What do you want to be, and how do you want people to perceive you?"
Musk: "I want to be seen as a useful person by people. ”
At this point, the topic began to sublimate.
A few minutes later, it was time to ask questions about Bian Xuedao.
Following Musk's appearance, Bian Xuedao also chose the questioner himself, so the microphone was passed to a girl who was five points like Xu Shangxiu.
Girl: "Are you friends with Mr. Musk?"
Bian Xuedao: "Yes. ”
Girl: "What makes you friends?"
Bian Xue said: "A common ideal." ”
Girl: "What kind of ideals, can you tell us?"
Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "He wants to retire on Mars, I want to go to Mars for a vacation, I want to buy a ticket from him, he said you vote for me to build a spaceship first." ”
"Coax!" the students in the audience burst out laughing.
Subsequently, a male student was pointed out by Bian Xuedao and got the microphone.
Male student: "Mr. Bian, do you usually read, what books do you read?"
Bian Xuedao: "I read a lot of books, history, literature, management, biography, everything. ”
Male student: "Do you take notes, do you have any advice for reading?"
Bian Xuedao: "Most of the time I read books with my brain to understand and digest, here I want to tell you that it is better to believe in books than no books, and sometimes the things in the books are incorrect, because no matter what the book is, there are limitations, including the limitations of the times and the limitations of the author's experience, mood, and opinions." Therefore, many books, even if we think they are reasonable, should not be regarded as a guideline, but constantly practice correction in life, open the window of our own thinking through reading, and master a dialectical, independent and comprehensive way of thinking, that is, Confucius said that learning without thinking is reckless. ”
After answering, Bian Xuedao ordered another female student to ask a question.
Schoolgirl: "What do you think makes a great company?"
Bian Xuedao groaned slightly, and said into the microphone: "The word 'great' is too heavy, and it is really difficult to find examples. Personally, I understand that a company can do the following three things, it can be called great: first, honest management, social responsibility, second, the mention of the company's name makes people feel satisfied and reassured, third, can allow consumers to spontaneously maintain its image. ”
Schoolgirl: "Who do you think are the core of humanity?"
"Scientists, thinkers, and teachers. ”
Schoolgirl: "People like you don't count?"
"No!" Bian Xuedao Zhengse said: "It is not politicians, economists, writers and philosophers who promote the development of human society, but scientists and thinkers. ”
Female student: "But your business is very successful, such as Zhiwei Security Guard, Input Method and Zhiwei Weibo, most of which people use when they go online." ”
Holding the microphone and thinking for a few seconds, Bian Xuedao said: "In front of real university questions, fame is not worth mentioning. In the face of truly great achievements, wealth is insignificant. Classmate, the software you just mentioned, before they were developed, people still went online and used the Internet, and it didn't matter if they were there or not. ”
Also, some people in life may be leaders in all walks of life, and they have a lot of fans and fans, but imagine that if this or that person didn't come to the world at all, would our quality of life be reduced in the slightest? If it is not lowered, it means that the person is not worthy of true worship. ”
The audience was silent.
Although the university has expanded its enrollment, the intelligence of the students who can be admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University must be above the crowd standard, so the students present can hear that what he said just now, Bian Xuedao not only belittled his company's software products, but also belittled himself.
It's just that people only know what is valuable, and then they know what they are ashamed of, this kind of self-depreciation not only does not make everyone look down on Bian Xuedao and Youdao Group, but makes Bian Xuedao's personal image become tall and heavy.
At this time, the male student who asked the question just now said into the microphone: "Mr. Bian, what do you think is the meaning of life, and how should people live this life?"
Adjusting his sitting posture, he said calmly: "The ancients have long said about how to live in life, and they said it very concisely-if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world." ”
"For a person with aspirations, the only meaningful thing to do in life is to strive to improve the wisdom of all mankind and strive for a higher level of collective civilization. Of course, this realm seems difficult, but it is actually even more difficult. And even if you can't reach this realm, you should have a critical spirit, not superstition, not blind obedience, no worship, never be satisfied with the status quo, always want to transform the world, always embrace the beauty of the world, and always move forward. ”
The last question was asked by a boy with a very old face: "Mr. Bian, how do you face all kinds of reputation from the outside world?"
Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "Others laugh at me for being too stupid, I laugh at others for seeing it accurately, that's all." ”
At the same time, in the same city.
In the Bund Garden Beauty Club, Zhu Dezhen is lying on a chair doing a facial.
The phone "buzzed" twice, Zhu Dezhen motioned to the beautician to stop, picked up the phone and glanced at the screen, and then said to the beautician: "You go out first." ”
