Everyone knows that the most popular book recently, Principles, was published in English last September 19.
Microsoft founders Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Haier Group Chairman Zhang Ruimin, National Finance Research Institute President Zhu Min, Pan Shiyi, Ba Shusong and other great men scrambled to write suggestions for the Principles.
The author of this book is Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater, the world's largest hedge fund company. He was born in a very ordinary middle-class family in Long Island, new york. At the age of 26, he founded Bridge Water in his two-bedroom apartment.
After 42 years of development, Bridgewater ranks fifth in the list of the most important private companies in the United States (Fortune Magazine). He was selected as the most influential person in Time magazine 65,438+000 and the richest person in Forbes magazine 65,438+000. Because his unique investment criteria changed the fund industry, American CIO manager magazine called him "Steve Jobs in the investment field".
On February 28th, 20 18, Rui Daliao came to China with principles and held a talk show on principles, talking about investment principles and life philosophy. "Principles" are very popular. In less than a month, the sales volume reached 50, and the daily sales volume was as high as 15000. It has become the darling of major bookstores and platforms, and even more people in the company have a copy. I, an idle person, come to join in the fun.
I was very excited when I got the book. I haven't bought a book for a long time, thinking about how to absorb some essence from this well-read book. My notebook and pen are pretending to be ready.
When I opened the book, Ridario's first sentence completely touched me, which was completely unexpected. There is only one sentence on a whole page:
I didn't expect this financial legend to start with such a sentence, especially in the book Principles. I haven't read many books, but in all the books I have come into contact with, I have never seen an author write the first sentence to the other half.
Rui Daglio wrote in the preface at the beginning of the first part of My Journey:
There are only two simple ifs-doctor and want to get married. There is no routine to become a super-awesome career like "XX" and "XX". On the contrary, the phrase "if you want to get married, you have to find someone" makes me feel very comfortable.
Then Dario began to introduce himself briefly, and the image of his parents' life was vividly presented in a page and a half. This is not an emotional book. Daglio's introduction was short and the language was common, but I deeply felt the deep love between Daglio and his parents.
Daglio's description of getting along with his father is also extremely life-like and full of love, and one of the minimalist words makes me feel particularly warm. He said:
From Dario to Barbara, to the general idea that a person wants to get married, put it at the same height as any great goal in life; Since he felt that his mother had left, he would never laugh again until he remembered her. Since he described his love for his father in such simple and delicate words as "I like him and fall in love with him", I have completely fallen.
At present, I don't know what the text behind the book "Principles" is written, so I will read it carefully next. Just reading this, I have to stop and write about the accident that Daglio himself brought me. This accident has nothing to do with his book and his status as the founder of the world's largest hedge fund.
Ray Dario is a successful man and cuter!
