Chinese American Scientists, Dean of the Microsoft China Institute, Li Kai, is a young man with high reputation in speech recognition, artificial intelligence, three-dimensional graphics and international Internet multimedia. His successful experience and spiritual spirit have caused a wide range of attention to many young people in my country, especially college students. During the communication with our young people, Li Kai resigned some questions that everyone cared about, and combined with their own learning and work experience, frankly met, straightforward, wrote a long letter to my country. Today, this letter is published. I believe how to treat college students and young friends, how to treat schools, how to treat work, how to treat others, how to treat themselves will have some beneficial enlightenment. For the past two years in China, the biggest enjoyment in work is to communicate with students in all domestic universities. These access and exchanges make I have the opportunity to communicate with thousands of young students face-to-face on their concerns. Chinese students have a very deep impression on me. In the process of communication with these youth students, I found that there are some problems that everyone is very concerned. Those students who have already obtained foreign university scholarships, mostly I hope that I will talk about how to spend my own career in the United States; those who decide to stay in China, very concerned about how to identify a correct direction, and at the fastest speed Successful in scientific research and academics; there are also students who have just stepped into university schools, I hope that I can tell some of my experience and being a person's experience. Recently, there are more students to care about the development of the network information industry, I hope to understand how the US college students are entrepreneurship and getting rich. Seeing so many twirling knowledge, full of hope, I suddenly produced a impulse, that is, I wrote a letter to China, and some ideas I have generated in the communication process and I want to Some of the advice of Chinese students write out to help them get more perfect in the future, work or entrepreneurship, and life is more smooth, and the career is more successful. Stick to integrity, the principle of integrity, when Apple worked, there was a manager who was promoted by me. Due to the criticism of the subordinates, I was very frustrated to find someone to replace him. I asked him: "What do you think of your strength?" He said: "I am confident that I am a very upright person." I told him: "I first promoted your manager, because you are a just selfless person. Management experience and communication skills can be learned in the future, but a ridicone heart is invalvous. "I support him to continue to do it and give him a lot of guidance and help in management and communication skills. In the end, he is not expected to be a good management. On the contrary, I have interviewed a job seeker. He is quite well in technology and management. However, in the conversation, he said that if I admit him, he can bring one inventions when the company is working. Then he seems to be a bit improper, special as a statement: those work is done after get off work, his boss does not know. After this conversation, for me, no matter what his ability and work level, I will definitely not hire him. The reason is that he lacks the most basic criteria and minimum professional ethics: "honest" and "credit". If you hire such a person, who can guarantee that he will not work here for a period of time, becomes the "tribute" to other companies as the result of "amateur"? This shows that people who are imperfect in a character cannot be a truly active person. In the United States, Chinese students' diligence and excellence are famous. Once an once is the most welcome group group, but recently, there are some changes. The reason is very simple. Some Chinese students took a doctoral scholarship to the United States, and once they found a job, they will immediately apply for leaving schools, and will throw their own degree and research you have to complete.
This kind of words and deeds have made a part of the United States to have doubts about Chinese students' honesty. It should be pointed out that Chinese students with this behavior are a few, but this is such a "small number", which has caused great damage to the reputation of Chinese students. In addition, there are some professors in the United States unwilling to pay some of the recommendations of some Chinese students, because they know that these recommendations have come from the students themselves, have no reference. This is also an inevitable result after honesty is damaged. I have encountered similar problems in Microsoft Research Institute. A student who came here, an unexpectedly reported a very good study result. However, the results of his research have not been repeated. Later, his boss found that this student selected the experimental data, leaving only the best results, and abandoned the "not very good" data. I think this student will never achieve true academic breakthroughs, and it is impossible to be a truly qualified researcher. Finally, I want to mention some people who like to be greedy. They use the school or company phone to call private long distances and reimburse the taxi ticket. There may be some people think that students are in grades, career is heavy, and other details are just some small things, they have done it as much as they want, and there is no big deal. However, it is the so-called "little things" around you, often becoming a key to shaping personalities and accumulating integrity. Some of the greed is cheap, and the small and smart behavior will only qualitatively be a smaller, and there is no image of the person who has no interest. China has ancient training "Do not evil", it is worth careful. Living in groups is compared with most American students, Chinese students' ability to express their ability, communication skills, and team spirit are relatively lacking. This may be due to the cultural background and the different education system. Today, when we face a society that is going to highly globalization, living in groups, making a better performance, is especially important to get more gains. The ability to express and communicate is very important. No matter how excellent work, you will not express it, you can't let more people understand and share, then it is almost equal to white. Therefore, in the learning phase, you can't live in a person's world, but you should try to interact with all kinds of people and communicate, actively express your opinions and opinions on all kinds of things, and even speeches at the public gatherings. Exercise your own expression skills. Expression ability is never just your "eloquence". Professor Harvard University has recently been very interesting experiments, and he lets two groups of students evaluate several professors' teaching quality. He took the lecture record of these professors to two seconds to give a group of students to give a set of assessment results. Then compare the results of students who have already heard of these professors for several months, the two groups of conclusions are amazing. This shows that in the process of expressing their own ideas, non-language expression and language are equally important, sometimes even more obvious. The non-language expression herein refers to people's instruments, manners, tone, tones, and emotions. Because of these aspects, people can more intuitive and more imperfect that you are people, the ability to do things, see your confidence and enthusiasm, and give a very important "first impression". For a group, a company, or even a country, team spirit is very critical. Microsoft said in the United States with a special team. The research and development of products such as Windows2000 has more than 3,000 development engineers and testers, and 50 million lines of code have been written. There is no highly unified team spirit, there is no tacit understanding and division of labor of all participants, which is not possible at all. I have seen the opposite phenomenon when I was in other companies. A project is arranged, and everyone knows that it cannot be completed, but they all don't know, do not tell the boss.
Because anyway, it is not finished, everyone does not work hard, but spend more time to calculate how to blame the failure of this project to others. It is these people and such a work style, almost dragging this company. In order to cultivate the team spirit, I suggest that the students actively participate in the work of various social groups. In the process of working with others, sharing results, mutual help, you can experience the importance of team spirit. In the process of learning, don't want to share good ideas, ideas, and results with others, worry that others go to your previous idea is unhealthy, and no success. There is a proverb that "the more you pay, the more you get". Imagine if your behavior makes people feel "you are mine, mine is my", when you need to help, do you think that others will help you? Conversely, if you often help others generously, then you will get more people's return? In the team, we must be brave enough to recognize the contribution of others. If you use the wisdom and results of others, you should declare. If you get the help of others, you should thank you. This is also the basics of team spirit. Before doing a proactive person, an engineer dreams of the goal of entering technology, the most leading IBM. At that time, IBM's definition of talents was a person with professional knowledge, buried people. Turning star shift, things have developed to today, people's views on talents have gradually changed. Now, many companies emerging are actively active, enthusiastic, flexible and confident. As a contemporary Chinese college student, you should no longer wait for others to tell you what should do, but should take the initiative to understand what you have to do, and plan them, and go all out. Think about those people in the world today, have a few people who are only Nono, someone else? Treat your own academic and research projects, you need to make your own responsibility and love, full efforts like a mother. If this is the case, there is nothing to achieve. A proactive person should also hear the criticism and opinions of others. In fact, this is also an embodiment of enterprising. You can't accept the criticism of others, and learn from it, it is impossible to have more progress. Bill Gates has said to all the company's employees: "Customer criticism is more important than making money. From the customer's criticism, we can better learn the lessons of failure, turn it into a successful driving force." Criticism, you should also work hard to find a special distinguished teacher. This hammer should be some people outside your teacher, so people will objectively give you some advice. In addition to teaching you in the knowledge, this niece can also have pointers you in other ways, including the eyes of people, seeing problems, and responding to emergencies. When I was responsible for a research department in Apple, I was fortunate to find such a good teacher. At that time, he was responsible for the senior vice president of Apple's global operation and production business. He gave me a lot of teachings for my career development. If there is such a person to help you, the speed you grow will be faster than others. Most Chinese students are more accumulated, shy, and not used to doing self-propelled. However, if you want to grasp the opportunity to turn a flash, you must learn to convince others and sell yourself or your own point of view to others. Before convince others, you must first convince yourself. Your passion plus talent is often reflected in your potential, and a good self-propelrative strategy can add flowers on the development of things. For example, once I received a very special job application.
Unlike most job seekers, this applicant's job-hosted information includes his self-introduction, his yearning for Microsoft Research, and why he thinks it is a suitable candidate, and there is also the paper he has published, Teacher's recommendation letter and he wants to come to Microsoft. Although he graduated from school is not the most famous school in China, his self-sales work. I saw his enthusiasm and serious from these documents. When I was interviewed, he had submitted a more fully personal information. Finally, when I asked him if there was any problem, he asked me,: "Do you have any reservations for me?" At that time, I did doubts about whether he could enter the new research field, so further Asked about some problems in this regard. He raised two very persuasive examples. Finally, we hired this candidate. He is doing very well. Challenge yourself, develop your own potential, when I worked at Apple, one day, the boss suddenly asked me how can I take his work? I am very surprised, indicating that I lack the management experience and ability like him. But he said that these experiences can be cultivated and accumulated, and he hopes that I can do it after two years. With such a tips and encouragement, I began to consciously strengthen myself in this area. Sure enough, I really took his work in two years. I personally think that a person's leadership quality is very important for his future treatment, business or politics. At any time, in any environment, we should consciously cultivate your leadership. At the same time, I suggest you show yourself to show this ability, or like me, you will be surprised that you have the potential of this aspect far exceed your imagination. It is a very important thing to set the goal for yourself. Target settings are unrealistic, but the goals must not be fixed too low. In the twenty-first century, competition has no boundaries, you should let go of thinking, stand in a higher starting point, set a more challenging standard to yourself, will have accurate efforts and broad prospects, cut Do not do "frog in the bottom". In addition, only in a school has achieved good grades, and the famous family thinks that he has become famous, you know, there are mountains outside the mountains, someone in people, and different parts of the metrics. Therefore, in order to set up the goals, don't have the idea of "Ning as the head of the chicken, not the cattle". A first-class person is like a general personality in general issues, but the performance on first-class issues will have a heaters. William Falkner, a famous American writer, said: "Don't do our best to compete with your colleagues. You should care about you more than you now." You should always set up some challenging But not unreachable targets. When establishing the goal of future careers, don't forget to ask yourself: "Is this the most popular professional? Are I willing to put it full?" I hope that you can be full of passion and imagination for your work, on the way Various difficult dangers that may have fearless. Talking about the love of work, I know a Microsoft researcher once made me feel deeply. He often opened the door on weekend, saying to see "girlfriend", later, once an accidental chance saw him in the office, asked him: "Where is the girlfriend?" He pointed at the computer and said: "It is her." For the enthusiasm of the work, Bill Gates has also have a very exciting elaboration. He said: "Wake up every morning, I think that the work engaged in work and the technique developed will give huge impacts and changes. I will be very excited and excited. "A few months ago, there was a great discussion of Bill Gates and Paul Kodajin in" Beijing Youth Daily ". Since I grew up from small in the United States, I don't know how to be Paul and his deeds.
However, I agree with the paragraph: "The most precious thing is life, life belongs to us, only once. People's life should spend this way, when he looks back, there is no remorse because of vain years, also Not as ashamed ... "So, you should choose a career you really love, constantly challenge yourself, improve your own, let your life will have a wonderful and fulfilling. Objective, directly when communication, a Chinese university professor found me, I hope I will help him find a foreign expert to speech in the conference he organized, and the end is also deliberately added, it is best to be a Foreign people. I am very uncomfortable to say to him: "The most authoritative people in this field are a Chinese in Beijing. Why do you have to find a foreigner?" He agreed with my saying, but he still invited a US People come to this speech, and the results are very poor. So, we should not fall into the blinddo. We should use objective vision to determine things instead of deciding on his skin tone or his place of residence. One sentence says, "Truth is often in the hands of a few people." The meaning of this sentence is that we should have your own vision, there is an independent thinking ability, not necessarily recognized by most people, or a certain authority, it is right. Whether it is learning, engage in research or business, we can't blindly, think more about why. With an objective opinion, you should express it directly. If you do anything, it is like "playing Tai Chi", it will make people know that the cloud will cause a lot of misunderstandings. Once, a researcher working in Microsoft Institute sought my opinion on his own research direction, I made a analysis, thinking that there are many problems in this direction, but if he persists, I am willing to support him. Try to do it. As a result, he thinks that I don't allow him to do this. So he chose other directions. Later, when he had to travel, the person responsible for administrative affairs told him that you can choose to take the train or fly. He believes that the executive actually implies him to take the train because it is too expensive to fly. In fact, his guess is wrong. Because our communication is straightforward, he is "playing Tai Chi". After that, we pass a series of corporate cultural lectures, let the employees understand what I want to say, don't complicate simple questions. Now, this type of mistake will be much less. The corners of the turn, the words are unusual, and the result is wasting everyone's valuable time. After looking forward to, I am afraid to say something wrong. As a result, it becomes a bad coward. Worse, there are still some people, don't say that there is a chaotic saying that this is no benefit to others, and finally it can only destroy the collective unity. Such a person and the style cannot face the society, and it is impossible to get out of the new road in scientific research, and it is more impossible to stand out in the fierce business war. I hope that the students will be able to open up and welcome, dare to say "no", this is the performance of respecting their own ideas. Of course, when expressing your opinion, no matter the opposition and criticism, it should be constructive, high sincerity, rather than criticizing criticism, and criticized for the debate. The way I agree is to provide constructive positive comments. When you start discussing the problem, no one should refuse to reject a thousand miles, everyone puts the ideas on the desktop, fully reflecting the personal point of view, so there will be a conclusion that accommodates most people. Of course, you should also learn your opinions with your proper methods and tones, such as don't make others embarrassed in front of many people. This way, your criticism will work. Cherish the campus learning and life a few days ago, the newspaper on the newspaper and said that there was a middle school student dropped out of school to open a network company. I think this is not worth promoting.
For most students, living in school is a good opportunity to learn basic theory knowledge, learning thinking and solving problems. These knowledge will be the most basic knowledge and skills you need in your future development process. Just like building a high-rise building, if you don't make a good foundation, it is not from winding and blowing. In a global scale, the US research level is undoubtedly world-class. In addition to the United States, you will find that the British research level is also quite prominent. The reason is, actually the language problem. The British can read the latest English research reports and materials in the United States and even the world without obstruction. This has great help to grasp the research direction, track the latest progress, and publish research results. Therefore, English learning is quite important for people who study our research. Only in the cultivation of quality in this area can be adapted to future development. I suggest that learn English first, learn to read and write, and be sure to completely solve English learning problems in the college stage. When you have a big age, you will be much more much compared to the cost of pay. In addition to English, mathematics, statistically conducting scientific students are also very important, and it is not ignored. Mathematics is a thousand years of wisdom, you must learn it well, can't perfine things. I regret it today, I haven't spent more kung fu. I have learned more mathematics. In addition, computer applications, algorithms and programming are also every engineering student should be familiar with, and they are tools that everyone must use in the future. The development of technology can be described as a new month. The purpose of studying in school is actually to master the most basic learning tools and methods. Use these tools and methods in the future, learn new things. For example: learn C in class, can you learn Java? Learn HTML in class, can you learn XML yourself? It is better to learn how to learn, so that he is not so much for learning a professional. In the first two years after graduation, the students gathered together, and they found that the changes were not big. After five years, I gathered together and changed much. Some people are out of date, because they no longer learn, no longer master new things, naturally fall behind the social development. If we want to be in this competitive society, we have to learn forever. Dr. Rickrashid, Rickrashid, is currently a senior vice president of the competent study of Microsoft. He has become famous, but it has always maintained a study and aggressive heart. Now, he still writes approximately 50,000 lines per year. He believes that using the latest technical programming allows him to maintain the sensitivity of the most advanced technology of your computer, so that you can continue to improve. Today, some doctoral students have a subgrade undergraduate and master student, and they think that they have no need to program again. In fact, this practice is very unwise. Every time I go to Tsinghua and other schools, I have asked the most is the problem of students working. I think that working is a good thing to broaden the vision from overall. For example, in research institutions work, you can learn the latest technology; working in the product department, you can learn technology and skills; working in the market sector, you can understand the business operations. I think every student should have experience in working, but don't play some "useless work." First of all, we must understand that working is only a supplement in the life of students, and learning is the most important. The purpose of working is to broaden your eyes, not to work in advance. If you put the translation book, enter the database, you can make more money in the future. Those money will far beyond the income of the current work. In addition, there are some students who have been encouraged by the current decisional entrepreneurial trend, and drop out of school in the middle of Bill Gates and Michael Dell.
In my opinion, in addition to very special cases, I don't recommend going to school in school students. The success of those who have seen the dental entrepreneurship actually rarely. At present, most students have the idea of entrepreneurship, but lack of entrepreneurship experience, so the possibility of failure is very large. If you want to succeed, I suggest you read the book first. If you want to learn business, you can use the holiday time to go to a company to work. Bill Gates also said: "If you are considering your own new company, you should first clearly know: The establishment of the company needs huge energy to invest, and it is necessary to take a huge risk. I don't have to be like me, start Just create a company. You should consider joining other companies and learn their work in this company, entrepreneurship method. "What kind of doctor hat you want to wear a doctoral skill in Carnegie University Director of the Department has told me that when you get your Ph.D., you should be the world's first expert in the research field you are engaged in. This sentence is highly unable to climb, but also let me know. In this way, after five years of cold windows, the night he expected, the results he expected, then appeared naturally. A person who intends to pursue a doctorate, you should set a high goal to yourself. If there is no ambition, don't be self-deceived, may have a greater grade, may have a big job or work in other work. After the goal is established, I suggest you design a three-year study and research plan for yourself. First, you need to thoroughly understand the work and achievements of others in the relevant field. Then put forward your own ideas and insights, do your foot-on-earth work. In addition, it is necessary to continuously track the latest research progress in this area. Only in this way can you grasp the direction, avoid repeatability, focus on the most valuable research direction. In the academic circles, people generally think "famous teachers". It can be seen that how big is the role in your growth path. So, you should take the initiative to find the best teachers in the fields you have studied. In addition to your teacher, you should also ask for advice on all experts. Don't forget to come to seek "the most enrollful teacher" Internet! Now, almost all papers, research results, advanced ideas can be found online. I also encourage you to send an email to ask some world-recognized experts and professors. With my experience, most of them will reply to you very quickly for such emails. When I first studied a doctorate, I was working for seven days a week, and I worked for 16 hours a day, a lot of statistical results and analysis reports almost made me crash. At that time, other researchers used in the same field were the traditional ways of different from me. Although my teacher supports me, I don't recognize my research direction. I have also doubted whether my own is really successful. But one day, a result made in the middle of the night, made me feel the taste of success. Later, research has a progressive progress, and the tutor has also begun to adopt my research method. My doctoral thesis makes my research have become one of the most influential work in natural language research. Dr. Read is not a relaxed thing, avoid impetuous emotions, and work in a footprint, work hard. It is also not subject to some temptation of fame and fortune, and 200% investment. Maybe you will tired, will regret, will lose the direction, but to remember that the success and breakthrough you expect are also pregnant. Everything is very smooth, no one can get the work and results, I believe that the research value is not high. In a certain sense, if a person is going to engage in research work in a lifetime, then from his habits, research methods, and thinking methods formed during his doctoral degree, you can basically judge the contour of his future work. Therefore, you must be a "people", fully use the time of the school, and make the foundation for your future.
