The Relationship Between Silicon Valley'S Big Bird And American Innovation

Despite psychological expectations,

Video game company

During lunchtime, adults will come in and play together.

Adults work inside, and they can hear the laughter and noise of children at any time.

It is said that the reason is that for a game company, children's innocence and happiness can bring inspiration and inspiration.

EA also: bar, billiard room, game machine, two basketball court gym, four basketball courts, a movie theater that can hold hundreds of people...

I can imagine the ease and calmness of working here.

We can't solve the problem. Go to the bar and drink two cups.

Relax and get ready to fight again.

What do you think is the most important Google office area?

Then what is a kindergarten? It is not rigid rules, everything should be casual and tolerant; allow occasional screams and daze, and sudden whims.

Every Internet user who goes to Silicon Valley will undoubtedly seek an answer intentionally or unconsciously: why can we derive the original innovation of the Internet and become the heart of the global Internet?

After going out of Google and EA, the subconscious idea is that if people are in a relaxed and confident state, the more they can perceive their original needs and others' needs, the more they will have the idea and creativity of putting people close to nature.

On the contrary, if people are anxious and nervous, the information they receive and process will be distorted, and they will not be able to perceive their real needs.

On the plane from San Francisco to Boston, I saw a Chinese professor from Beijing to Silicon Valley.

She said her daughter came to the United States when she was 4 years old, and now she is 11 years old.

The eyes and body are relaxed and confident, but the Chinese are nervous, anxious and bitter.

The professor said she could see at first glance whether a Chinese was from the mainland or Taiwan, whether she came to the United States or stayed for a year or five years.

Internal decisions are external and cannot be assumed.

This is consistent with my experience in studying in Singapore ten years ago.

At that time, when I entered the store of China Town, the shopkeeper would greet me directly in Chinese.

I asked, "how do you know I am Chinese?"

He just laughed without answering.

Only in this mountain.

If you can't understand the difference between Chinese and foreigners in smiling and posture, you can refer to another indicator.

The distance between birds and humans may be a measure of social civilization.

Before in Singapore, crows would fly to the canteen table to peck the rice grains.

It is confident that we will not hurt it.

After returning home, no bird will be within two meters of me.

Recently, I saw in Silicon Valley that big birds walk in front of office buildings, and they live outside the garage outside the accommodation area. They walk in a leisurely way across the street, and they have confidence in this friend of mankind.

The relaxation and self-confidence of birds actually come from the relaxation and self-confidence of human beings.

From bird's nervousness and anxiety, we can see that we can't relax and have confidence for a long time.

Now I am convinced that relaxation and self-confidence are internal and external states and abilities.

That's exactly what it is.

You would say, is this too emotional?

Recently, I saw a scholar's speech at TED, the theme of which was great innovation, which came to the idea of interlinking.

His proof includes: first, the laboratory is the place where innovation is born, but in fact innovation is not from the microscope, but in the chatting room in the tea room next to the laboratory, especially the depressed scientists' catharsis of their mistakes and failures.

Second, the rise of cafes has greatly stimulated innovation.

The reason is that people can stay here for a long time, casual, lazy, chatting on any topic, and the brain is jumping between excitement and silence.

Third, the expression of new ideas in the brain is a new link between neurons. These new links present new forms and structures of the brain's nerves.

Let me sum up: the collision of different ideas is the source of innovation, and the collision of different ideas does not happen under the work place and microscope, because this state is tense and impatient.

Coffee shops and tea houses become the source of innovation. First, this is where communication is made. Second people here relax, temporarily forget their frustrations in work and get closer to their confidence.

In turn, we can see the reasons why China's innovation is boring: what causes us to be relaxed and unconfident? From childhood, cramming education, constantly exaggerated competition pressure, depressed father who wishes to become a son, willing to pay everything for you, but expect your mother to return everything, the increasing unemployment rate and prices, dirty air and food, clogged roads and rich two generation Street killer, unloaded hooligan software......

We can not relax the breathing and eat and drink lazara, can not be leisurely crossing the road, not confident in the face of relatives and opponents.

When some people want to move EA and Google's luxury office to China, they will undoubtedly be questioned.

The environment can not relax and be confident. How can we relax and feel confident in a small environment? First of all, we should take a look at culture and national conditions.

Of course, we should start with pformation.

The key is how to do it.

Chen Tianqiao said that no matter how innovating and changing the business mode, there is only one essence. The highest wage is to the best talents and create the greatest value. Obviously, this is not all logic.

High wages do not necessarily give a person relaxation and self-confidence, but may in turn exert pressure and impatience.

If the human mind is not relaxed and confident, then after a high salary, it is more likely to be a higher goal.

Such as greedy endless developers, milk traders, corrupt officials, bloodthirsty hackers.

Ning Gao Ning said earlier that innovation is not about finding a post doctoral laboratory, but respecting employees from the heart, allowing them to work in a relaxed, free and happy environment, and innovation will slowly burst forth.

More importantly, when everyone is born with natural respect and lenient, they will no longer be able to measure themselves with mundane indicators such as high wages, chasing their own nature and pleasures, and no longer rely on them.

This is a truly relaxed and confident generation.

How much time does China need? Is thirty years enough?
