Some Principles of Doing Things 1

Aim to gradually untangling , optimize andeven rebuild the thinking style of my doing things I tend to write down theprinciples how I should conduct things. This way, as I expect, will help me toreach a more efficient, faithful and happy state of life. Those principles,which I learned almost from Dr. Wu, will guide me to an excellent people.

为了逐渐梳理优化甚至重塑自己做事的思维方式,以更高效、更充实地生活、学习、工作,我决定将自己以后做事的思维、或原则写出来。这些原则,大部分是我从吴军老师学到的,将促使我成为一个杰出的人。

1. growth withaccumulation(累积式成长)

The first principle is that I should do the things which can definitelypave the way for the rest of my life, rather than those barely benefit melater. For example, I shouldn’t have spent time on singing that I’ve everdetermined to manage the rap of See You Again about six months ago. It’s justbecause I won’t do something on singing. Not only indulge myself in the feelingof sweet songs at KTV but also to be good at it. What singing mean to me isjust amusing my girlfriend which doesn’t need practice, right? So what’s thepoint for me to spent time on it? That’s why it’s so ridiculous for me that Iever decided to spend much time to practice singing for the reason I hardlyhave forgotten. So cool? Probably. But it doesn’t matter to me anymore.

首先,我应该做那些对以后也能产生正面作用的事,而不是眼下做了,过后对自己再无任何影响的事。就像猴子搬包谷,走一路掉一路。我还记得以前曾花费时间精力学唱See You Again中的说唱,多么不应该啊!因为我知道自己在唱歌方面除了偶尔取乐与女朋友,再不会有什么意义的。我不是那种沉迷于自己歌声中的人,也不擅长唱歌,所以我花费时间和精力学唱歌,有什么意义呢!可笑的是,我至今几乎都已经忘记了当时心血来潮学习那段Rap的原因。很酷吗?也许是。但已经和现在的我没什么关系了!

Now there still exist so many things thatstrike me with a sudden impulse such as dancing, Kong Fu, basketball, etc. ButI know well the consequence of these things will probably only last a few days.After the specific passion, I will not contact it anymore. To be honest, thesethings attract me very much and could certainly do me a favor. But the fact isthey are not continuous, systematic and is not embodied with the characteristicof accumulation just like the corn discarded along the path.

现在,我仍然有很多想做的事,比如学功夫、打篮球、跳舞等等。但我知道,这些事情我很可能兴趣盎然时做一做,过了那个点,就几乎不会碰了。这些事情,不是说它们对自己不好,而是它们对自己而言不持续不系统,就像那中途就被丢弃掉的苞谷,没有持续积累的特性

Standing on the shoulder of yourold self

In ancient society of China technique was inherited by the way of oral pattern .Once accident happens in the process of inheritance, the precious technique will inevitably be dismissed forever. And we have no way but fumble from the very beginning. But in western, they tend to record the procedure, the details, the key point etc. Then they proceeded their work on predecessors’ foundation. They just stood on the shoulders of the giants. Once there existed a German scientist who recorded every details of porcelain procedure. Even now we can manage to make that type porcelain depend on the records. How terrific! How rigorous!

在古代,人们的所有知识经验都是靠口头相授的,一旦天灾人祸,那这门手艺就断了。一旦失传,必须从头再来;而西方采用科学、现代的方式,将所有工序都完整记录下来,后人的工作都可以在前人的基础上进步,所谓站在巨人的肩膀。德国有一位科学家将自己制造瓷器的每个工序、细节都记录了下来,以至于我们现在都可精确还原其当时的瓷制品。这是多么严谨和令人惊叹啊!

Then next time when you feel your growth isslow, perhaps because you are just the monkey who drops the corns along theway. You do not benefit from your former endeavor.

下次如果你觉察到自己的进步非常缓慢,也许就因为你就是那个搬包谷的猴子,一路搬,一路掉。你没有从之前的努力中获益,你的每一次成长始终都需要从头再来

So just do the things that can continuous.

所以做那些具有持续性的事情吧!

2. To besystematic ( 体系化 )

To be systematicmeans you must compile your knowledge you gained into a net. Sometimes you probablyfind that the knowledge in your mind is just in a mess that you can’t have aclear recognition. Furthermore, you will get lost in the chaos of in informationand your behavior will be hindered. A segment of knowledge is of no use to us. Theyare just like the catkins in the wind that we cannot control.

体系化意味着你必须将你所有的知识整理成一张,而不是零碎的知识点。很多时候我们很发现我们头脑中的东西一团糟,以至于都没有清晰的认识,甚至这些混乱的信息还会扰乱我们的行为。碎片化的知识是没用的,它们就像随风飘荡的芦苇,让我们无从把握。

So if you want tomake the knowledge available, what you need to do is to be systematic. Forexample, Five-minute Business School is a commercial class which offerssystematic knowledge of business. Once you grasp it means you’ve developed afoundation of business with which you can explore and deepen the otherknowledge. The systematic knowledge could also guide your behavior.

所以如果你想让你的知识变得有用,你就需要将它们体系化。例如,《五分钟商学院》就为我们提供了系统的商业知识。如果你掌握了这个商业知识体系,那么你就可以在此基础上进行商业知识的拓展与深化,这个商业体系同样可以指导你的行为。

To be systematicdemand you to ponder, rebuild and reconstruct the knowledge. This process isjust like gathering the scattered and loose sands all together or convergingall the random knowledge into a whole network. It’s not easy but it’s aneffective method to drive you to grasp the knowledge and use it.

体系化要求你去思考、重建并整理头脑中的知识。这个过程就像将流沙聚类,或将混乱的知识联结成网。这个过程并不容易,但却是促使你掌握这些知识并实践化的有效方法。王国维所谓的人生三种境界之一的“昨夜西风凋碧树,独上高楼,望尽天涯路”指的就是这个过程。

3. To be an expert(成为专家)

To be an expert inyour specific field is much more difficult. Last time when I visited my uncle andtold him that I determined to be an expert in my research field he just said tome with distain. “It’s no easy to become an expert. What does a doctor count”. Butanyway, at least we ought to set a goal for our study or work. Our endeavorwill suffer if we lack that high motivation and goal.

在你的特定领域成为专家是更加困难的事。上次我回家看望舅舅时,闲谈间提及我以后要在极短的时间成为专家,舅舅对我的轻狂报以轻视,你以为成为专家有那么容易啊,一个博士算什么!但不管如何,我们至少应该为自己的学习和工作定一个目标缺乏目标的努力无疑会大打折扣。

Target-orientedprinciple is what we need on the path of work career and high goal will driveus keeping going forward forever.

目标导向原则是我们工作生涯的必须,极高的目标会促使我们始终不松懈努力前行。所谓“行百里者半九十”。

4. Less is more(少就是多)

It’s no easy to dothe above things, right? Of course it’s not easy.

要做到以上几点并不容易,对吧?肯定不容易。

Then it’s time foryou to learn how to work on things, especially how to manage time.A lot of us have been busy all the time and thinkit a normal fact of life. But once you read you time and record your time maybeit’s so astonishing for you to find that you just spend much time on someunimportant things. Those things like Chatting with your friends on otherpeople’s private lives, browsing circle of friends or overindulgence yourselfon soap opera do not help your growth but evolve into a pastime of life. Spendingmuch time on those things means you are not a hard working person and make ithard for you to succeed in life.

所以我们就需要审视做事的方法了,特别是时间管理。我们很多人每天被诸事缠身,并理所当然地认为这是生活的常态。但一旦你反思记录自己的时间开销,你会惊讶地发现你绝大部分时间花费在了不重要的事情上。和闺蜜聊别人的八卦、刷朋友圈,或者沉迷于肥皂剧不会对你的成长有利,反而会使你逐渐学会消遣生命。如果你将太多时间消耗在这些事情上,那么你就不是一个努力上进的人,你也不太可能会成功。

Then you may sadthat you just don’t act like that, but you probably get stuck in the chimney ofanther flaw of how to do things. That is you just do not concentrate on the mostimportant things and do not realize “the important things to the extreme”. Gettingdistracted by mounts of things would influence your spirit on the pursuit of perfectionof important things and will make you a normal person.

或许你会说你自己并不是那样的,但你却极有可能陷入另一个如何做事的误区。那就是没有聚焦于最重要的事,未意识到将最重要的事做到极致。太多事缠身,会极大的削弱你将重要事做到极致、做到稀缺的心性,进而会使你变得平庸

Many of us know the film “Forrest Gump”.Forrest run at first just because Jenny told him that If you are ever introuble, don’t try to be brave, just run, just run away. But he run and run andfelt like running. The only thing he stuck to in his life was running. Eventuallyhe run with meaning and created a lot of miracles. He attached much moreimportance on running and owned an extraordinary life because of running.

我们很多人都看过《阿甘正传》。一开始阿甘跑步仅仅是因为珍妮告诉他“你若遇上麻烦,不要逞强,你就跑,远远跑开。”后来他跑啊跑,逐渐迷上了跑步。在他生命中,他唯一秉持的事便是跑步,最终,他跑出了意义,并因为跑步创造了很多奇迹。他上了大学、橄榄球巨星、作为英雄受到了约翰逊总统的接见、作为美国乒乓球队的一员到了中国,为中美建交立下了功劳等等。他的人生变得绚丽多彩而不平凡,就是因为跑步。

So just cut off thosethings which are unnecessary. You need to realize that less is more. If you dothe most important things well, the rest of things just don’t matter.

所以,砍掉那些不必要做的事吧!你应该认识到“少就是多”.如果你能将最重要的事做到,那其他事就不重要了。

All the principlesabove will not be gained without the powerful self-control and good habit. Now I’vealready formed several good habits like the scientific routine of life, writingand the reflection on my thinking and behavior style which will do me a favoron my growth.

以上几个做事的原则离不开自律良好的习惯。目前我已经养成了每天早睡早起、写作以及总结反思自己的思维及做事方式等习惯,这些将促使我更加快速、健康的成长。

I believe I coulddo it and you can do it, too.

我相信,我能做到,你也能做到!
