I read "CAN DO Work Study: Say Yes first when encountering challenges, and turn today's bad encounters into tomorrow's good stories": I come, I see, I conquer
Opening Taiwan version of Miranda’s Entrepreneurship Notes (opens in a new tab), the author’s introduction column above clearly reads: General Manager of Shengsi Integrated Communications Group, full-time entrepreneur, communications consultant and “part-time mother”, who is also “living in the moment” and CAN A serious believer in DO Spirit (opens in a new tab). I have been working in the field of marketing communications for nearly 20 years and I still enjoy it.
I learned to set high-profile goals for what I really want to do (opens in a new tab), then treat myself as my own customer, and find ways to use my execution ability to achieve the goals within the set time.
Even if you don’t know him, just from the above paragraph, it is not difficult to feel that this slashie youth (opens in a new tab), who is an entrepreneur, consultant and mother, is full of incomparable enthusiasm while juggling busy work and life.
The meaning of “living in the moment” is not difficult to understand, but what is “CAN DO spirit (opens in a new tab)”?
The so-called CAN DO is:
- The spirit of saying yes first when faced with challenges.
- The attitude of treating work as a business.
- Determination to use your life to complete things well.
- The entrepreneurial aura of “The world will be different when I come here.”
In other words, according to “CAN DO Work Learning: Say Yes first when encountering challenges, and turn today’s bad encounters into tomorrow’s good stories (opens in a new tab)》Author Pu Menghan (opens in a new tab)（Shannon Pu), CAN DO is a spirit, a determination and an attitude towards life.
I have long forgotten how I met Shannon in the first place, I guess it was because of work. From previous media interviews, I found out that she is my schoolgirl at Shih Hsin University, and she is also an excellent media public relations person. She has worked in cross-strait and three places at a young age. In recent years, she has also run her own public relations company with great success.
Pu Menghan (opens in a new tab) observes that working in the public relations industry is actually like experiencing the art of getting along with people. It is also a service industry. “The more you do it, the more your clients will rely on you, and over time, they will not be able to leave you.”
Every time I read Shannon’s columns or have the opportunity to sip coffee with her, I can always feel this “Taiwanese version of Miranda“‘s detailed observations on life and work, as well as various interesting and cutting-edge opinions from her words or conversations. I am very happy to see her organizing her life scenery and work experience for many years into 36 required courses on entrepreneurship and workplace positioning. Through this book, I tell all workers: Whether you hold the dream of “one day starting a business” or not, you must have the entrepreneurial aura of “the world will be different when I come”!
This also reminds me of Gaius. Julius. After Caesar defeated the Pontic king Pharnec II at the Battle of Zela, he wrote the famous victory message “Veni, vidi, vici” (I come, I see, I conquer) to the Roman Senate. Life is originally composed of battles one after another. Facing the problems and challenges that come one after another, we should not “discuss them when we have time”, but should have the courage to accept the baptism and conquer them one by one!
“CAN DO work study (opens in a new tab)” This book is not an ordinary chicken soup for the soul, nor is it a general book that teaches success. It is the sharing and inheritance of an entrepreneur after accumulating many years of experience. It is worthy of careful reading and reading by friends who are aspiring to start a business or want to show off their talents in the workplace.
