As Rui Daglio said in the Principles, "The most important thing is not to predict the future, but to know how to respond reasonably to the available information at every point in time." For young people who are most eager to see the future direction, it is even more necessary to find the "key" to break through the barrier of life growth when being dragged forward by the ever-changing tide.
Recently, Dr. Zhao Xuejun, Chairman of harvest fund, combined with his own experience, had a face-to-face sharing with Tsinghua students on topics such as the growth path and career planning that young people care about at the "Give You the Future-harvest fund Autumn School Recruitment Tsinghua Special Presentation". In the eyes of Dr. Zhao Xuejun, young people go to the future, and the future determines the direction of the future.
The following is a summary of Dr. Zhao Xuejun's speech for readers.

Be a person who can draw blueprints.
An engineer who can go off the production line again
Everyone's growth path is different, and the choice of growth path determines the way we face the world. I major in electronic engineering, and I am an engineer. What are the characteristics of engineers? First, there must be a blueprint for everything. Second, after drawing the blueprint, you can also go down to the production line and make every "screw" to control the quality of the project. The engineer's characteristic of "integration of knowledge and practice" is deeply imprinted in the underlying logic of my work. The posture of walking will determine a person's direction.
After becoming an engineer, he participated in the establishment of the Beijing Commodity Exchange from foreign trade to futures, and later became a doctor of economics at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University. I am fortunate to study economics and finance from a broader perspective. In the first ten years of study and work, I have been constantly choosing my own path. After that, I firmly came to the present on the road of finance and became an engineer who happened to be deeply involved in the financial industry. At important life nodes, you must make choices, choose what you want to do most, and follow your heart, in order to gain different horizons and abilities from others.

Only run high, not hot.
Now young people are facing an era full of challenges and uncertainties. In an era of almost no certainty, we still have to do something. What is certain? It is to focus on things with long-term value, and it is an iterative upgrade of the self-operating system. For Jiashi, firstly, it is necessary to do research with audible gunfire and to do research at the forefront of investment. Secondly, all the research only goes to high points, not to hot spots, and chooses high points between high points and hot spots.
For young people, when they leave school, they must adjust their mentality to a suitable position and use the conclusions you have learned seriously. The aura of the past is the burden of your progress and the factor that makes you unable to succeed. You must be down-to-earth and go where you need it most at the grassroots level.
Doing business requires both ideals and confidence. The so-called ideal is not eager to achieve the goal. Despite the great pressure, I still suggest that young people who are still on campus should spare at least one and a half years for their dreams and do those "most useless" things that are the most useful. I read a lot of books when I was a graduate student, and a lot of ability accumulation began at that time. Doing finance is to be grounded, take root in the front line, truly understand the needs of customers and the market, and dare to struggle and take responsibility in order to achieve something.

Look to the future.
Don't look back, just relax.
The above two points, the choice of growth and the principle of doing things, actually come from your attitude towards the world. For young people who are about to leave school, it is necessary to calm down and think about what changes are taking place in the world and what attitude young people should embrace the changes.
I think it's important to face the future. Young people are "back waves" because you have a farther future in your eyes. Only by facing the future can we achieve ourselves. Young people must look forward, not backward. In China, the asset management industry is a sunrise industry with rapid growth, which deserves the participation of outstanding people.
