I believe the same question applies to myself: how can I become a survivor in the world of the future?
1. Core Value: Create Value
- No matter the time or job, creating value is always important.
- The best jobs are those that help people and make a difference.
2. Key Principles: How to Grow That Value
- Technology drives progress : New tools and machines change the world.
- Use money to make more money : that’s the power of capital
- Use people to create more value : that’s the power of organization
3. Success Tips: Three Simple Rules
- Right time, right place, right people.
- Be brave, careful, and confident.
- Know people, work with people, lead people.
4. Learn from History
4.1 Lessons from Japan’s “Lost 20 Years”
- Japan’s “lost 20 years” saw the rise of affordable businesses like 7-Eleven, Uniqlo, MUJI, Daiso, and Saizeriya.
- Meanwhile, traditional giants like home appliances and cars declined.
- Japan missed the wave of computers, the internet, and mobile phones.
4.2 Career Choices of Top Chinese Graduates
Top Chinese graduates didn’t all enter high-tech fields:
- Wang Xing from Tsinghua went into food delivery.
- Huang Zheng (ZJU), Liu Qiangdong (RUC) went into retail.
- Zuo Hui and Cheng Wei from BUCT went into real estate and ride-hailing. These are some of the smartest people in China — and they chose these industries.
5. Future Trends
- Some people will earn from high-tech.
- Others will earn from hands-on work done very well (like nursing, fixing things, cutting hair).
- Being skilled and following clear steps (SOPs) will be key.
6. Final Thoughts
Personally, I think the people who will create the most value in China in the future will fall into two extremes:
- One group will be in high-tech fields.
- The other group will be in hands-on, professional service jobs.
Whether it’s skilled nursing, haircutting, or technical work like electricians, plumbers, or mechanics — I believe these roles will be valuable and in high demand.
For ordinary people, combining professional skills with standardized SOPs is a powerful way to create value. And if you can add a touch of high-tech, you’ll be at the forefront of the wave.
