Poverty is not terrible, and being poor is not a shameful thing, it is just empty pockets and a dull face.People generally have two attitudes towards poverty; one is poor and accepts fate, the other is poor but ambitious.If a person is poor and doesn't want to change, and doesn't work hard, that is the most terrible thing.Poverty is painful and bitter, but it can become a driving force to push you forward, and can be transformed into a powerful force for your progress.Looking forward in poverty is one of the most important ways of life in a person's life. To change poverty, we must do eight things.Li Shaotang, known as the "Desperate Saburo" in the IT industry, has successfully demonstrated these eight points in his road to wealth. From him, we have seen the importance and necessity of these eight points.

1.Do the important work first, i.e. "first things first".Most people spend their time on non-urgent "busy jobs" primarily because they are easier to do and don't require special knowledge, skills, or coordination with other people.Divide the work in your hands into the following three processing sequences according to their nature: you must do it now; do it later; do it when you have time.Create these work sequences each morning before you start your day, and ideally before bed the night before.At this point, Li Shaotang said: "I want to thank my poverty." Li Shaotang was born as a poor child, his mother was a garbage collector, his father died early, and his mother remarried later to support the family.The poverty that Li Shaotang experienced made him outstanding today, "get rid of poverty", "I want to make money"...so he transferred to the International Department when he was in college.In his growing environment, the most important thing is to make money, and the concept of "first things first" has made him successful consciously or unconsciously.

2.Focus your time and energy on the 20% of activities, contacts and concepts that have proven to be most productive for you in the past.That is: you must focus your influence on the most productive people and ideas.Li Shaotang proposed "tipping point management", that is, to find the key point that affects the success or failure of an event, and concentrate most of the energy on detonating it, in order to get twice the result with half the effort. Li Shaotang's management tactics are a typical interpretation of this sentence.

3.To try a few times.If you fail the first time, try again; if you fail the second time, do more research on the reasons for the failure; Lower your aim a little bit.On this point, Li Shaotang said: "Be brave to try. Try to change experience, experience to become wisdom, this is a virtuous circle. You should touch everything you have never touched before." He believes that trying is important and necessary.

4.You do more than people ask for, and you contribute more than your job.Just go the extra mile. "Being a CEO is a road of no return, so don't make the assumption of 'if—— then—', and stick to it if you do it." Li Shaotang said.The spirit of hard work, perseverance, self-confidence and overcoming difficulties is worth learning for each of us.

5.After you have acquired a general knowledge of a certain industry or academic field, focus your attention and become really proficient in some part of it.You must first specialize in one thing, and then you can seek multi-faceted development.Do one thing well until you are proficient. Doing so will surely bring you confidence and establish a good reputation.In this regard, Li Shaotang emphasized the need to "focus on personal vision rather than numbers", that is to say, think about what you want to do in the future instead of just focusing on the present.Li Shaotang's vision outlined a blueprint for his success.

6.Li Shaotang said to "knock on the boss's door bravely", referring to a workplace attitude, to have a positive and aggressive attitude, to knock on the boss's door bravely, and to ask him and himself: How can I become you.

7.When you deal with problems, be honest and good at reasoning.In general, there are only two types of problems: easy to solve (in fact, these are the only problems that the average person wants to deal with), and those "urgent problems" that are extremely situational.A good way to determine the type of problem is to ask yourself: Am I spending time on issues that are important to me and my family, or am I always forced to deal with urgent issues that must be dealt with? ?Li Shaotang emphasized: "Be true to yourself." Li Shaotang believes that everyone has two "selves", one is the "self" you know, and the other is the "self" seen by others.He emphasizes the need to reason and deal with problems honestly with your true self.

8.When you make changes in your life or work, you must be mentally prepared: productivity and efficiency will definitely drop temporarily.If you make a career or lifestyle change that doesn't produce immediate results, don't worry.After the change, it takes a while to have an effect.After familiarization and renewed confidence, productivity will increase again.Don't worry, just calm down first.In this regard, Li Shaotang said: "Change is difficult, and individuals must be brave to change." "A person must have his own 'five-force model': learning ability, management ability, core professional ability, execution ability, and growth ability."

Li Shaotang does not have any family background, has never been abroad, and his education is not very high.He started as a grassroots employee, became the general manager of Oracle in Taiwan when he was not favored by the outside world, and now he is the CEO and president of Dopod.With his leadership and management style of "sincerity and diligence", he has achieved the growth of the company's performance against the trend. Even though he is in a high position, he still struggles and works diligently every day with superhuman energy, which has won people's admiration.His profound insights into corporate management, brand building, marketing and other fields and his charisma form a powerful cohesive force.His road to success is worthy of our deep thinking. Although he himself did not deliberately pursue the "eight points that must be done to change poverty", he has successfully interpreted these key points, which is one of the reasons why he gained wealth.
