Standing at the end of 2018, there are some sad inexplicable, but also some small expectations for the New Year. Sadness stems from the loss of a loved one and the failure to achieve some goals, not from a lack of effort, but from luck. Expectation comes from a new understanding of life and happiness. Below, I will summarize this year from the three dimensions of emotion, career and study.

emotional

  • Earlier this year, I broke up with my ex, this time amicably. For this one, I want to thank my predecessor. In my lowest period of more than 20 years, her appearance, let me temporarily forget the troubles, enjoy the joy of passionate love. Although in the end because of the character of the disagreement we chose to separate. In fact, this relationship, the main problem lies in my own body, in the last paragraph of the imprint on the shadow of the rush to start this relationship, which is too unfair to her, so finally or hard to break up.

Now looking back, in the process of emotional growth, all the experiences are valuable, all the joys and sorrows, all the joys and sorrows, all make us stronger and more mature, at least that’s what my experience tells me. Maybe there are some people who destroy themselves because of emotional difficulties, and I think it’s really not worth it.

  • In this year’s National Day holiday, the most painful my grandmother passed away, to find her painless elysium. Since my grandfather passed away, my grandmother fell down, suffering for more than 10 years. That night, looking at her bit by bit not breathing…… Write here, can not help but SOB……

People, originally a person came to this world, to his old age is also a person quietly left the world. Even if you are a loved one and a close relative, you will have to leave the day and face your own life. No one can not leave who, people were born alone, learn to face the world alone.

career

In the middle of this year, I had the honor to come to alibaba, an enterprise I had dreamed of joining for many years. It’s a great business for young people to get ahead. Under the fast pace of the Internet, it is not easy to lead the development of the Internet in China and maintain a high growth rate for many years. (In 2018 double 11, the transaction volume reached 213.5 billion yuan, setting a new record.) As everyone in Ali, we are proud of it, which also encourages us to keep working hard.

Speaking of hard work, I have to mention several classmates I have known since I came to Ali.

  • One is our project leader, who is arguably the most active and passionate direct leader I have ever met in my career. When he just joined the company, he gave guidance and help to the understanding of the project framework and standardization of the development process without reservation. He also often shared with us some insights on industry development, investment, education and study. It had a big effect on me.
  • There is another is to sit next to me that brilliant student’s elder brother, his learning ability is very strong, see him often take machine learning books to see. Whenever he completed a stage of learning, he would share with us within the project team.
  • The other is our architect, who is an absolute god. He is mainly responsible for solving some technical difficulties in the pre-study of the project. His desk is filled with books on audio and video development, image recognition, artificial intelligence and more. When I consulted him at ordinary times, I also gave me some suggestions patiently.
  • The last thing I want to mention is one of my dignitaries. Something too personal to say here. Thank him for his affirmation of me and his help during this special period.

People, when you enter an environment where there are many excellent people, you will be deeply influenced by them, and you will constantly speed up the pace to make your progress faster. This is an experience I never had in my previous company. And maintaining this attitude is the most important, just like luo Zhenyu’s opening words in “Thinking of Luo Ji” : “Lifelong learning with you”.

learning

This year, in addition to my major study, I also read 11 books, including some audio books.

Here are some of my favorites:

  • Liu Cixin’s science fiction series the Three-Body Problem
  • Currency Wars by Song Hongbing
  • Top of the Wave, Insight by Dr. Wu Jun

About this platitude topic, not too much to say, understand people naturally understand. Always be eager to learn and hungry for knowledge. We all know the truth, how to achieve self-discipline, personally think the best way is to follow the pace of the great god, because THAT is what I ask myself. There is a saying that goes, “the people who are better than you work harder than you.”

conclusion

In general, 2018 has not failed to live up to itself, although I have encountered some things recently, BUT I believe that next spring, spring will bloom, everything will recover. I wish myself continued progress in 2019 and good luck in the coming year!

Wish you all the best!
