On "Join in the Game"

On the New Year's Eve of 20 19, I watched Luo Pang's New Year's Eve speech "Friends of Time", which mentioned a concept called "devote yourself to the game". This concept comes from Zeng Guofan. It is said that when you want to solve a problem or face a difficulty, if you want to solve it better, it is best to devote yourself to it.

In fact, many people will understand this concept. Because in life and work, people are often reluctant to take on more responsibilities, because it is better to do one more thing. As the old saying goes, the authorities are fascinated, and the onlookers are clear. However, on New Year's Eve, I heard another explanation of devoting myself to the game, which made me think deeply.

In fact, when you face a thing, as a bystander, you must be clear? You must have seen the essence of this matter? Maybe not. Maybe you only saw the superficial phenomenon, but didn't see the core of the matter. Only by going deep into the problem itself can you find a solution to the problem.

Looking back on my work in the past two years, I deeply realized the influence of "playing games" on my work and life. 2065438+August 2008, I ushered in a new turning point in my work. Because of some changes in the management of the company, I began to face the company's big customers alone. At that time, the change was very sudden, and some customers of the company were suddenly unstable. Some don't know who to look for next, and some don't know how the previous order is going. At that time, I contacted several customers here, but I didn't know anything before, because I was not in charge of this piece. But I resolutely left my WeChat and phone number to these customers and told them that I would be responsible for your next business.

It was the peak season. In the past month, I was very busy. The phone and WeChat kept ringing, and I was really busy. But in the contact with customers, I gradually improved my ability, learned something I didn't learn, and gained the trust of many customers. After nearly two years of work, many customers have become my key customers. Of course, there are also many difficulties, and with the deepening of the work, more and more new problems are encountered and more and more work needs to be done. We should always keep thinking about how to do more detailed work and how to solve these new problems. But because you are involved, there will always be some ideas to solve the problem. Luo Pang also mentioned a concept in his New Year speech, that is, from facing difficulties to getting used to difficulties. I think the difficulty of getting used to it may be exactly what I planned to face at that time.

Choosing to enter the game is not only a choice to face a responsibility and a difficulty, but also a gain. The biggest gain is that you can solve this problem better. Perhaps, there will be many challenges and difficulties in the middle, but when we choose to face it and get used to it, that is, when we grow and improve, you don't know what difficulties you will face next, and you don't know what you will gain if you overcome this difficulty. I don't know until I really play

When I think of this entrance, I think of two characters, Zhang in the Ming Dynasty and Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty. They are all people who make some changes when the times change. They are equally mixed in history, with some praising, some scolding and some sympathizing. But they all have one thing in common, that is, when the change happened, they did not choose to be a "sober" bystander, but to be an entrant and do their best in the environment at that time. I think history will keep moving forward because of these people who dare to enter.
