Facebook, Zuckerberg-IT information
Introduction: expanded weak ties, learn to read English, important but not urgent things, there is time to complete the task, keep reading ... ... That′s Kai-Fu Lee to share with your new year′s resolutions, work hard to live you, you ready to leave?
This two years, I has been very Thanksgiving, also special lucky of is 2015 I of body can good up, can organic will returned to I most love of work in the, so from early in doctor of license Xia, gradually recovery work began, while told himself must to put work do, while also always reminded himself to keep good of mentality, care good himself of body, and family of health.
Looking back at this year, all aspects of good balance. New year, on the one hand, I want to make my family and friends know I love them, attention and accompany them. The other hand, to continue in the job I love trying to help more entrepreneurs.
New year there is always a new vision and goals, the "annual plan" (New Year Resolution).
Recently, Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg) after the gold, because two things are everybody′s concern, one is "naked donation", and then there is his daughter read. Tan in the Facebook photo, less than 2 weeks he and his wife for the birth of daughter Max read, that children′s book is the baby of quantum physics.
Actually to baby of quantum physics just Zuckerberg in 2015 reading book single in the of a this, 2015 he of annual plans, is each two week reading a this important of book, in early of January, he to practice line vows, specifically in face book SHANG established has a public page--"annual of book" (a, Year of Books), as currently, he has this recommended has 22 this good book.
Prior to this, he came twice to Tsinghua University, throughout make a speech and question-and-answer, made a deep impression. Not just local media, many United States mainstream media are "amazing" to describe his Chinese ability. I remember about 5 years ago, Mark invited me to lecture at Facebook headquarters in Silicon Valley, the impression he simply introduces a few words in Chinese; after many years, he has made rapid progress in Chinese.
In recent years, Mark has a personal annual plan every year. In addition to 2015-year reading plan in 2014, he wrote, a "thank you cards", keep themselves keep a grateful heart. In 2013, he had met a new friend every day, expanding spheres of life. In 2012, the long-term commitment of management, he made plans to return to write programs so that they do not forget the original intention. And in 2010, Mark the annual plan is to learn the Chinese language.
Therefore, if you to plan for annual plans, may have unexpected impact on life. I have been a lot of new year′s resolutions, here you can share some tips:
1. Select a feasible goal would be nice
People′s habits is that when asking for too much, one can not do, may be abandoned entirely. Might as well buy one of the feasible but difficult to do, especially the first time. People always need to rely on some small positive feeling of accomplishment, and slowly build up your confidence.
2. the principles of goal setting SMART
Specific, clear when they set goals.
Measurable criteria. For example, do not aim to "do good", that′s not enough, cannot be measured, can be changed to volunteer to nursing homes once a month.
Attainable can be achieved. For example, you cannot set will earn 100 million Yuan next year, goals must be completed.
Result-based attention to the results-oriented, rather than just process. For example, 1 month weight 1 kg, and not just do not eat every morning; or TOEFL scores by 50 points, and not just take the time to back words.
Time-based this time, complete the plan within a certain period of time.
3. the selection of important, but not urgent things
We often choose to do something urgent, such as test tomorrow, will take time to prepare, do not rely on annual plans to push myself. But there are too many important but not urgent, and annual plans must pick a influence on life, or important things, such as health, future, accumulated knowledge, interpersonal growth related plans.
Learning English is a good example, from the perspective of life, learning English is very important, but not urgent. After leaving school, if not foreign investors, or those who used to work in English, you may relax, very regrettable.
The case of Mark, for Americans to learn Chinese, is a major challenge. If Mark read Chinese for four years, can stage a speech, then studied English for more than 10 years of Chinese, isn′t it more should learn English?
I encourage young people, you can read news in English, on the one hand to broaden their horizons, while enhancing the English ability. Don′t waste time on repetitive information, there are also many great English websites and books. I would also recommend, spend half the time online reading related information in English, or plan to read a lot of books in English. If you want to learn English and increase knowledge, you can look at the English site: Business Insider, Quora, Buzzfeed, KhanAcademy, Linkedin, Techcrunch, Pando Daily, WSJ. D, you can also search on the Internet Ted English speech, well-known in the history of English speech, famous graduation speech, and so on.
Also, I share an extended relationship of annual plans. Many years ago, I am from China transferred back to the United States at Microsoft headquarters, in order to expand their social circle, I plan to meet new friends, although not as Mark one day know a, but I provided a week and a new friend for dinner, or tea. Where to find so many people eat? I′ll teach you my secret: have dinner with new friends, talking to pay attention to what his friend is the kind you hope to know, eat dinner before you ask him to introduce you to a friend, to increase your social circle.
Why expanding the social circle? In fact, there are many opportunities in life, not by best friend′s "strong" relationship, but maintain your hundreds of "weak" relationship; if we can have more contacts, can also bring more opportunities. How to meet new friends? Asks a friend to introduce new technologies, product management, the leader in the field of investment, so that both can meet new friends, and expand new knowledge, explore new horizons.
4. In conclusion
People always have the lazy, prefer to nest in their comfort zone, if you want to grow, must change. When you draw up annual plans, and implementation for a while, you will find that any new goals can become a part of life, no need to deliberately executed. Want to change, start with yourself.
李开复：如何制定你的新年计划？ - 李开复,
Facebook,扎克伯格 - IT资讯
导读:拓展弱关系，用阅读的方式学好英文，做重要而不紧急的事情，有时间性地完成任务，保持读书习惯......这就是李开复要分享给你的新年计划，努力生活努力奋斗的你，准备好启程了吗？
这两年，我一直非常感恩，也特别幸运的是2015年我的身体能够好起来，能够有机会回到我最热爱的工作中，所以从年初在医生的许可下，逐渐恢复工作开始，一方面告诉自己一定要把工作做好，一方面也时时提醒自己要保持好的心态，照顾好自己的身体、家人的健康。
回顾这一年，各方面的平衡做的不错。新的一年，一方面，我希望让我的亲人、朋友知道我真心爱他们、关注和陪伴他们。另一方面，继续在我热爱的工作岗位上尽力帮助到更多创业者。
新的一年总有新的愿景与目标，也就是「年度计划」（New Year Resolution）。
近期，脸书的创办人扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）在喜得千金之后，因为两件事情受到大家的关注，一个是“裸捐”，还有就是他为女儿读书。在Facebook上晒出的照片中，他和妻子共同为出生不到2周的女儿Max读书，那本童书居然是《给宝宝的量子物理学》。
其实《给宝宝的量子物理学》只是扎克伯格在2015年阅读书单中的一本，2015年他的年度计划，就是每两周阅读一本重要的书，在年初的1月份，他为了践行誓言，专门在脸书上设立了一个公共页面——“年度之书”（A Year of Books），截止目前，他已经在此推荐了22本好书。
而此前，他两次来到清华大学，都全程用中文进行演讲和问答，令大家印象深刻。不只国内媒体，许多美国主流媒体都用「惊艳」来形容他的中文能力。而我记得约5年前，Mark邀请我到硅谷脸书总部演讲，印象中他只能简单用中文介绍几句；多年后，他的中文已进步神速。
最近几年，Mark每年都有个人的年度计划。除了2015年的读书计划，2014年，他每天写一张「感谢卡」，让自己随时保有感恩的心。2013年，他规定每天必须认识一位新朋友，扩展生活领域。2012年，长期投入管理工作的他，立下回归写程序的计划，让自己不忘初衷。而2010年，Mark的年度计划就是学好中文。
因此，如果能够好好规划年度计划，对人生会有意想不到的影响。我也做过不少新年计划，在这里可以分享一些诀窍：
1.选择一项可行的目标就好
人的习惯就是，当要求太多，其中有一项做不到，就可能全盘放弃。倒不如挑一件可行但有难度的去做，尤其是第一次。人总是需要靠着一些小小正面的成就感，慢慢建立自信。
2.设定目标的SMART原则
Specific，制定目标的时候要明确。
Measurable可衡量的。 例如，不要将目标订为「多做善事」，这不够具体，也无法衡量，可改为每个月到老人院做义工一次。
Attainable可实现的。 例如，不能订明年就要赚进1亿元，必须是可以完成的目标。
Result-based重视结果导向，而不只是过程。 例如，1个月减重1公斤，而不只是每天早上不吃饭；或托福成绩提升50分，而不只是每天花时间背单字。
Time-based有时间性，在某段时间内完成计划。
3.挑选重要、但不紧急的事情
我们常常选择先去做紧急的事，例如明天就要考试，一定会花时间去准备，不必靠年度计划来督促自己。但人生中有太多重要却不紧急的事，年度计划必须挑选对人生有影响力，或重要的事，例如健康、前途、累积学识、人际方面成长相关的计划。
学好英文是个典型的例子，从人生学习的角度来说，学好英文很重要，但没有急迫性。尤其离开校园后，如果不在外商，或是工作上用不到英文，就可能松懈，十分可惜。
以Mark为例，学中文对老美来说，是一大挑战。如果Mark读了四年的中文，可以在台上演讲，那么学了十几年英文的中国人，是不是更应该学好英文呢？
我鼓励年轻人，可以先从阅读英文新闻开始，一方面开拓视野，同时增强英语能力。不要把时间浪费在重复性的新闻，世界上还有很多很棒的英文网站和书籍。我也建议，花一半上网的时间读英文相关的资讯，或者有计划的大量阅读英文书籍。如果你想同时学英语和增加知识，可以看看这几个英文网站：Business Insider, Quora, Buzzfeed, KhanAcademy, Linkedin, Techcrunch, Pando Daily, WSJ.D,也可以在网上搜索Ted英文演讲，历史上知名的英文演讲，着名毕业演讲等。
另外，我分享一个扩展人际关系的年度计划。多年前，我从中国调回美国微软总部，为了拓展社交圈，我计划多认识新朋友，虽不像Mark一天认识一位，但我规定自己每周和一个新朋友吃饭，或喝茶。去哪儿找那么多人吃饭啊？我教你我的秘密：每次和新朋友吃饭，谈话中留意有没有什么他的朋友是你希望认识的，吃晚饭前务必请他再介绍一位朋友给你，增加你的社交圈。
为什么要拓展社交圈？其实人生有很多机运，不是靠着最要好朋友的“强”关系，而是维系你的上百个“弱”关系;如果能够掌握更多人脉，也可以带来更多的机会。如何认识新朋友？可以请朋友引介关于新技术、产品管理、投资领域中的佼佼者，这样既能认识新朋友，也能增广新知识，拓展新视野。
4.总结
人总是有惰性，喜欢窝在自己的舒适圈，要想成长，就必须改变。当你订下年度计划，认真执行一阵子后，你会发现，任何新目标都可以变成生活中的一部分，不需再刻意执行。想要改变，就先从自己做起。
