I happened to come across a post today that I thought was really good, so I’d like to share it with everyone. Success = 30% talent + 70% effort. Shelley: Winter has come; how far can spring be? So, in this economic winter, what can help us open the doors to spring? Tang Jun has written a book titled \"Your Success Can Be Replicated.\" In the book, Tang Jun shares his views on career choice, believing that others can achieve the same level of success as he has. I would say that not everyone’s success can be replicated, but Tang Jun’s success definitely can. Why? Tang Jun said that making choices is very important. Choose the right career, and then follow the principle of “simplicity + diligence” – be simple in life and diligent in work. Success can then be achieved. In other words, don’t overcomplicate your profession; focus on doing your job well. Together with personal diligence, continuous learning, and constant improvement, one can do the work well. Ultimately, Tang Jun’s success stemmed first from choosing the right career, and then from sticking with it. And why can’t many people succeed? Because there is no one like Tang Jun who chooses the right career and sticks to it. So, how should we choose a career? The issue of career choice is a problem faced by many people today, and it was also raised at the presentation on \"Management Software Application Consultants\" held by UFIDA Academy not long ago. How to choose a career and what kind of professional to become? Facing the students who had come to attend the lecture, Zhu Chunyan, the deputy dean of UFIDA College, introduced a concept: compound-type talents. What is a compound-interest talent? Compound interest, also known as interest on interest, refers to the situation where the earnings generated each year can in turn generate more earnings, commonly referred to as interest accumulating over time. Compound-type talents, on the other hand, are those who are able to work in a particular field over the long term; they use their experience as a foundation and their skills as a means to meet current demands, while also being able to showcase their individual intelligence. They have their own unique approaches to relearning* and acquiring new knowledge, bringing higher contributions to the organization and greater personal benefits than their peers. So, what kind of people can be considered compound-interest types? Dean Zhu Chunyan gave three examples. Lu Gang graduated with a master’s degree in computer science from Beijing University of Technology in 1985. He has worked as a programmer at the Beijing Film Machinery Research Institute, as CIO at TP Electronics Industry Group, as vice president at C.S International Group, and as general manager of ERP at Lenovo Group. Currently, he is vice president at Yonyou Software and serves as the lead pre-sales consultant for ERP solutions, with an annual salary of nearly one million. Chen Hongjun used to be an application consultant for UFIDA software; over the years of working in this field, he acquired extensive experience in information technology applications. He is now the CIO of a technology company in Shenzhen. Xu Yantao, formerly an application consultant at UFIDA Software, is now running his own business. Talents like these three can be called compounding talents. They all possess a solid foundation and qualifications, and are deeply rooted in this field. By focusing on information technology applications and relying on practical skills, they meet the current demand for application consultants. Their intellectual abilities, as well as their capacity for further learning and their contribution to organizations, are far greater than those of ordinary people. So, they can be considered compound-type talents. Just like Tang Jun, who went from being a programmer at Microsoft to President of Microsoft in China, then to CEO of Shanda, and finally to CEO of Xinhuadu. Tang Jun was initially just a programmer; through his own efforts, he developed a scoring system for karaoke. Step by step, he moved forward, working at companies ranging from Microsoft to Shanda, always remaining within the IT industry. From President of Microsoft China to CEO of Shanda, and then to CEO of Xinhuadu, Tang Jun pursued these roles based on his many years of management experience. In this process, Tang Jun evolved from a simple-interest type of talent to a compound-interest type of talent. Einstein said, “The power of compound interest is even more terrifying.” So, how can one become a compound-interest talent? To become a talent who can benefit from compound interest, three conditions must be met: 1. One must meet the essential requirements for working in a particular field, becoming \"professional\" by first making the right career choice and determining one’s role, as well as learning a special skill or expertise – which serves as the \"capital\" base ； 2. One needs **implicit professional qualities** to make oneself a true professional; these are reflected in professional ethics, professional awareness, and professional attitude – in other words, a high \"interest rate\" ； 3. It is necessary to maintain stability and continuity in work in order to achieve high efficiency, that is, to have a long \"duration\". Only by meeting all three of these conditions at the same time can an individual’s professional development grow along a \"compound interest\" trajectory. Fuyou Academy has launched the “Management Software Application Consultant” training program precisely to address this issue, aiming to cultivate highly sought-after professional talents in the field of management informatization. It provides a platform for recent graduates and working professionals to further their education*. Through the competency triangle model, it systematically develops the knowledge frameworks of trainees, enables them to put their professional skills into practice, and comprehensively cultivates their professional qualities, so that more people can become the type of talent that meets the needs of enterprises. As more compound-type talents continue to emerge, financial crises will no longer seem so terrifying. Once these compound-type talents join a company, they use their own abilities to offer strategic advice, build barriers to defend against crises, and help the company overcome difficulties. When all businesses emerge from the winter, isn’t that a spring filled with blooming flowers?
