"Self-created Thinking: Life is an Eternal Beta, New Work in a Changing World" Recommended Preface: The secret to success is to keep starting over
Although “Self-created thinking: Life is an eternal beta version, new work in a rapidly changing world (opens in a new tab)” is out of print. Fortunately, the publisher later republished it and recommended it. Published “[You Should Understand Your First Job (New Edition): Life is an eternal beta version, combine the strengths that are needed, cultivate allies, and gain extra points for every conversion]” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/prod (opens in a new tab) ucts/0010850207?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202306)》! I really like this book. Whether you intend to start a business or not, I believe you can get a lot of inspiration from this book!
I like reading books very much, especially books about entrepreneurial experience or career planning. Although these authors’ experiences may not be universally applicable, you can get a lot of inspiration from them after reading them carefully. Of course, because of my past service in technology media, I have interviewed many outstanding entrepreneurial teams. Therefore, although I have not yet started a business, I consider myself to be in the entrepreneurial circle.
I have read many books related to entrepreneurship, and this book (opens in a new tab) is one of the few books that impressed me deeply. One of the authors, Reid. Hoffman is a well-known person in the Internet industry. As the co-founder of the professional social networking site LinkedIn, it is most appropriate for him as an insider to talk about issues related to entrepreneurship and life.
This book (opens in a new tab) collected many cases of entrepreneurs, Supplemented by LinkedIn’s operating experience, we understand the importance of building connections; and then, from the characteristics of social media, it cuts into the risks, bottlenecks and various hurdles that may be encountered in entrepreneurship and career planning. It makes people want to read it in one sitting.
If you are starting a business, this is a good book that cannot be missed. Learning and starting a business are lifelong things. While reading this book and then examining your own life, I believe you will gain a lot.
Even for friends who have not yet planned to start a business, I think it is very suitable to read this book (opens in a new tab). For example, several of the ideas mentioned in the book resonate with me, and I can gain some insights from them just by picking them up.
The author mentioned that everyone is entrepreneur, not because they open a company to do business, but because they have entrepreneurial genes hidden in their bones. This is human instinct. Entrepreneurship is a life proposition that is not limited to the business market, nor is it exclusive to Americans. Each of us has the ability to innovate.
I really like this passage at the end of the book, and I would like to share this excerpt with you: When life is an eternal beta, the secret to success is to keep starting over.
The Chinese say “the coffin is sealed”. It is true that the Beta sign hanging high in life always reminds us to continue to make progress. Before we reach our goal, let’s start over! Yes, start now!
