On a hot summer day, we gathered together in a large stepped conference room to listen to a speech by a graduate student from Columbia University. Her name is Yin Zinuo.

In her speech, Yin Zinuo unfolded her own experiences, telling us her own personal feelings and lessons learned, which made us gain a lot in the whole meeting.

This article will briefly describe the content of the meeting in two parts, namely "How to Choose a Path" and "How to Face Setbacks", and deeply explore and expand its key points and connotations; at the end of the article, there will also be relevant questions and answers from the audience.

Let us once again remember the content of the speech in our hearts during the review and analysis, and it will become a precious asset for us to face problems and setbacks in the future!

Road and Determination

How to choose the path of life

How to choose the path of life? Yin Zinuo experienced at least three times on the question of which path to choose in life: one was preparing for the Singapore exam while preparing for the college entrance examination; one was after losing the step-by-step training of teachers and schools, she chose to prepare for the exam on her own; the last time was when she started to study options again while choosing her professional path. Yin Zinuo told us that every time she made a new choice, she also hesitated and wandered, and had pain and anxiety, but a few words in her speech solved these problems:

"The key is what kind of person do you want to be? Then break down what kind of abilities you need."

When others question: "You played a good hand of cards badly", "Aren't strategic mistakes lower-level than content mistakes?"

Yin Zinuo responded: "It's never too late to start doing something"; "Do what you want to do, there is no strategy in life";

Yin Zinuo mentioned in her speech that when she applied to foreign universities, she was once anxious that her qualifications were not good enough, even though everything was ready. So when she found her professor to explain the situation, the professor helped her sort out her current situation and invited her to participate in the research project. This was a fulfilling and pure academic study time, which also helped Yin Zinuo calm down and overcome the exams that she could not overcome.

When we choose the direction we want to go, we should move towards it step by step; and because it is something we love, we will not feel pain and anxiety on the way forward, and all the anxiety will disappear in the process of your determination and down-to-earth progress.

Difficulties and setbacks

1. Facing difficulties and setbacks: self-discipline

In Yin Zinuo's experience, she had a weapon to overcome difficulties: self-discipline.

While studying and preparing for the college entrance examination, she made her own schedule and strictly followed it: rest at 12 o'clock every day and get up at 6 o'clock the next day; when she played CGMA games, she could only sleep 4 hours a day on average in a week; and some games required her to stay online for 48 hours. Although this also partially affected her physical health and is not a method that everyone can take, we can see from it her perseverance and extremely self-disciplined lifestyle, which is also an important reason why she can be so outstanding, because she can do her best for what she wants and take getting the best as the standard.

CGMA Extreme Challenge

In Yin Zinuo's speech, there is another very important part, that is how she faced failure.

In the CGMA All-Asia competition, Yin Zinuo persisted until the end of the whole game despite a long-term lack of sleep. However, on the field, when performing on the spot, Yin Zinuo found that her reaction was not as fast as before. Although her teammates made up for her in time to complete her part, this may still be a reason for a deduction. This made Yin Zinuo and her team only get the third place in this competition.

Afterwards, Yin Zinuo was still very concerned about the fact that she failed to help the team win the championship. But she remembered what a teacher said to her and her team after the game:

"If you don't win the championship, you will grow more."

In fact, if we take a long-term view, there will always be winners and losers in every game, but our value as human beings will not be simply frozen at that point in time because of the game - because we will move forward, play more games, and experience more life experiences beyond the game... After we have gone through a journey, looking back, winning or losing a game is no longer the only important thing; on the contrary, the failure of a game can make us experience more and make us stronger under setbacks.

Of course, when facing setbacks and difficulties, there are two things that are also good helpers for us to overcome difficulties: a good mental state and a good physical state. This point was also mentioned in Yin Zinuo's speech.

Summary

After the speech, the response was very good. Everyone raised their hands to ask questions they wanted to ask, and Yin Zinuo also gave detailed explanations for everyone one by one.

For example, how to guide children to be self-disciplined? How to face anxiety? And how to obtain better resources? …

Yin Zinuo answered the questions carefully one by one

Easter eggs

After the meeting, the company prepared a variety of desserts, fruits, and drinks for the participants to replenish the energy of those who came to study.

The meeting ended successfully! Everyone took a group photo.
