When he was a freshman, Jerry Lou made a four-year university plan and carried it out firmly. Jerry Lou majored in international finance. At the same time, he also studied computer software design as his second major. In my junior year, I began to study the ACCA course for chartered certified public accountants in the UK, and passed 8 of 14 ACCA courses before graduation. "It should be said that if you study like this, your studies and curriculum will be very full. Besides, you won't have any extra time. " Jerry Lou said.
"I have an active personality. In addition to reading, I also actively participate in student activities. " At that time, Jerry Lou was the head of Shangcai Art Troupe, in charge of drama club, band and dance team, and also served as the minister of learning department of the Student Union. "At that time, the instructor of the Art Troupe felt that I had a little organizational ability and asked me to preside over the work of the Art Troupe. Our art troupe has done a good job and won many awards in the city. "
In the past four years, Lou has just completed the study of international finance, computer software and ACCA with excellent results, and is competent for the work of two student functional departments. He is usually busy shuttling between classrooms, often one exam after another. In this regard, he did not complain: "Time is tight but full, if you like."
Although he has only worked for ten years, he feels that he has actually worked for fourteen years, because he didn't waste the precious time of four years in college, and he managed to do much more things than others. When he was in college, he went to study in the self-study classroom after dinner, and then read in the dormitory with a flashlight after turning off the lights. "At that time, six of us shared a room, because I often read with a flashlight, which affected others' rest a little, but my roommates were very good and took care of me. Sometimes I forget the time when I read, and they help me buy my meal back. "
Students, teachers, students, Jerry Lou is very grateful to this financial teacher. "Mr. Dai Guoqiang, who teaches money and banking, and Mr. Xu Guoxiang, who teaches statistics, left a deep impression on me. Are very senior scholars. And Mr Zhang Weiguo, who was then the head of the accounting department. His simple teaching has greatly helped my accounting foundation. " Jerry Lou was also influenced by the scholar style of Shangcai: "Teachers are not only knowledgeable, but you can also see from them the serious attitude of being a man and doing things, which has a great influence on my later work."
Always learn at work.
1997 After graduation, Lou Gang's first job was to do securities analysis in a securities company. In the Asian storm of June 5438 +2000 10, his securities company closed down, and then he joined an asset management company as a fund manager.
At that time, Jerry Lou, a newcomer, lacked calmness, and his mood often fluctuated because of the ups and downs of the stocks recommended to customers. The inflow and outflow of money was a bit too heavy for him at that time, and the work pressure was great. Things have changed. Now for such work and pressure, he said indifferently, "It is normal for money to go back and forth in this market. Don't be discouraged if you lose money, just earn it back. " —— Jerry Lou has grown into a calm manager after being honed by great storms. Overcoming one difficulty after another will make people grow, Jerry Lou said.
"There will always be difficulties in work, and there will always be places that can't keep up." Jerry Lou didn't go on to study for a master's degree or a doctorate, but he went on to study. If you can't, learn with an open mind. I will always study at work. With tenacious perseverance, Jerry Lou can seize all the time in his work and keep learning, which is the secret of his continuous improvement.
Be an honest man
Talking about the current college students, Jerry Lou said: "The background of college students is different from that of our generation, and there is not much sense of crisis. We call this group of people' post-80s'. " He said that many post-80s generation have no life pressure and are not eager to learn. From this, we can see the difference between college students today and the generation ten years ago. "I work hard, and my brothers and sisters work harder than me." Jerry Lou sighed. There are also some "post-80 s" that he recognizes. Not only can they endure hardships, but also their outlook on life, work attitude, learning ability and humility are admirable and have great potential for cultivation.
When interviewing college students, Jerry Lou has his own yardstick: "I value character very much. I don't want to be too eager for quick success, unrealistic, and of course I don't want poor English, and I definitely don't want poor grades. " When he said English, he meant fluent expression. Jerry Lou said, "If a college student can't learn his major well, the boss will think that he can't do his job well when looking for a job. If you study several majors at the same time, you can forgive one of them for being bad. If you major, it's hard to say if it's not good. "
Jerry Lou said that the competition for talents will always exist, but the opportunities in the market are also growing exponentially. Regarding the phenomenon that college graduates pursue high-paying jobs, Jerry Lou told us: "Don't just consider the immediate interests, the key is to take career as a long-term goal in life. It is very short-sighted to do it if you want to make money. "
When Jerry Lou graduated, he chose a securities company instead of a high-paying firm, because he felt that the securities industry was more suitable for him. His foreign teacher at that time, Peter Alexander from Wall Street, had a great influence on his choice. "I think college students nowadays, including some students I interviewed, often ignore this point, and they can't do anything just because they earn more money," Lou Gang said.
"The school is just one of your trademarks. How far can this trademark take you? In fact, it is not far away. " He said that what you really look at in your post is the ability to work, which is the same for college students who start a business or work. "There is an entrepreneur from a well-known private enterprise in Zhejiang in our dormitory, and the export business is doing very well."
As a finance major, Jerry Lou is full of gratitude to his alma mater. "Our own efforts in society, being honest and doing things in a down-to-earth manner are the greatest contributions to our alma mater." "Don't feel busy doing anything. In fact, your abilities are all exercised at work. Be realistic and get things done. " -This is Jerry Lou's heartfelt words to financial students.
