第五篇：關于MBA學習-王冉博文

哈佛商學院喜歡招什么樣的學生

(2007-07-09)

上周五接受了北青周刊首席記者王江月的采訪。她是一位非常優秀的記者，采訪前該做的功課做了，聊起來就很舒服。采訪中談到我在哈佛商學院（HBS）的日子，很自然也就聊到了“哈佛商學院喜歡招什么樣的學生”這個問題。

起碼在當年我申請的時候，當時的入學申請主要由四部分構成：申請表，包括對8-10個具體問題的回答，其實每一個回答都是一篇小作文）；推薦信；面試；最后才是大學本科及GMAT的分數。就我的理解，在招生辦的考察體系內，分量最重的是那8-10篇小作文及推薦信，而分數所占的比重最多不超過30%。

之所以那幾篇小作文那么重要，是因為它們最有可能相對準確地反映和折射出一個人的潛質。那么，哈佛商學院負責新生錄取的考官們最希望從那幾篇小文中看到些什么呢？

我不敢說我的理解一定正確，但我的理解是--

? 首先，你生活里有一個不離不棄的方向和目標，無論它現在離你有多遠。要有一件事讓你想起來就興奮，就睡不踏實，并且這件事最好足夠大，能夠對周圍的人、對社區社會、對國家乃至對世界有些影響。它可以是競選總統、創立引領潮流的商業模式、打造世界級的企業，也可以是扶貧救困、保護環境、預防艾滋。

? 其次，你要能說清楚為什么你認為上了HBS就能夠讓你離這個目標更近一步，無論這種理由兩年之后畢業時翻回頭再看是否真的靠譜。換句話說，你愿意把人生中最寶貴的兩年扔在這，總不能是因為哈佛商學院的健身房或者食堂比別人的好。HBS有點像好萊塢，喜歡幫助你讓不可能成為可能。

? 第三，你要在講述過往經歷的字里行間表現出優秀的領導能力的同時也表現出同樣優秀的與別人溝通與合作的能力。今天的世界已經不太需要喜歡以自我為中心的孤膽英雄，而是更需要懂得傾聽、勇于反省、善于合作的商業伙伴。

? 最后，一點點適度的幽默通常是有幫助的。你要設身處地為招生辦的官員們考慮，他們每天從早到晚看那么多篇作文其實是挺枯燥乏味的一件事。將心比心，在展示自己真性情的同時讓人家開心一笑沒有什么不好。而且，說得再玄乎一點，幽默不僅僅是一種語言風格，同時也是一種成功所需要的“換個角度看問題”的能力與豁達的生活態度。

總的來說，哈佛商學院會比較喜歡有性格的人。舉個例子：我們這屆有個同學在拿到MBA后，心血來潮，放棄了好幾家投行的高薪聘用，背上背包騎著摩托穿越非洲大陸，走到哪住到哪，教非洲小孩讀書，兩年之后回到紐約創辦了一家對沖基金，今天早已在業界功名成就。如果當時HBS知道這位老兄后來走過的生活軌跡，他申請十次還是會被錄取十次。

最后順便說一句，按照我們有些同胞的思維邏輯，如果作文那么重要，靠東抄西抄或者找人代筆是不是同樣可以蒙混過關？

完全不是！用80個字蒙人是容易的，用八千個字蒙人是困難的；寫一篇蒙人是容易的，寫十篇蒙人是困難的。你東抄西抄，人家天天就是干這個的，什么沒見過，你能抄出花兒來？你找人代筆，人家招生辦的官員看的不僅僅是文字而更多的是文字后面所能折射出來的那些思想和性情；而帶筆的人如果真有文字后面的那些東西，也就不需要或者沒時間給別人提供代筆服務了。

從人到人才的過程開始都是小事

(2007-04-01)

曾經有不只一位大學生朋友給我留言，希望我談一談大學畢業生的職業規劃和發展問題。

在人力資源市場上，我們現在面對的現實是：一方面包括我們自己在內的所有招聘方都招人招得艱苦卓絕永遠覺得人才難得；另一方面遍地開花的人才招聘會上永遠是人滿為患，擠破門的和打破頭的都有發生。

可見，在我們這個社會上，永遠是人多、人才少。這也正常，關鍵是從人怎么變成猿（咳，說錯了，是從人怎么變成人才隊伍中的一“員”）。

客觀地講，我們應該承認，絕對不是100%的人都能成為人才，每個人先天的資質和早期受教育的條件的確有所差異；但也絕對不是只有5%或者10%的人才能成為人才。事實上，我認為至少有50%的人是有機會成為受人重視、被人爭搶的人才的。

關鍵看你是不是愿意不停地琢磨和學習，是不是愿意自己和自己較勁不斷給自己提出更高的標準和更嚴格的要求，是不是愿意時時告誡自己不能偷懶和懈怠要去做那些只有付出努力才能做成的事，是不是從內心里真心向往“今天做得比昨天好一點、自己做得比別人好一點”的那種“做得更好”的感覺。一句話，對于絕大多數人來說，能否從人變為人才就看你如何對待自己。在這個過程中一開始可能沒有那么多驚天動地的大事，你是一流還是大溜往往就在于一點一滴的積累與一招一式的歷練。

隨便舉個再平常不過的例子。你剛參加工作沒多久，一個周五下午，你的上司給你打電話請你幫助整理一下2006年中國餐飲行業企業的排名。

這個時候你會怎么做？

? 有人會馬上打開百度在搜索框里敲進去“2006中國餐飲企業排名”這幾個字看看自己的運氣，也有人會先禮貌地問上司“對不起我可以問一下您對相關信息的具體要求和期望以及什么時候需要這份排名嗎？另外，除了排名列表以外還需要前十名企業更詳細的信息嗎？”

? 有人會把自己局限在網上，充其量多試幾個搜索引擎和幾個關鍵詞的排列組合。有人除此之外還會想到趁周末之前趕緊打電話給公司里做過餐飲項目的同事、餐飲方面的媒體、餐飲業的行業協會甚至在餐飲行業工作的親戚朋友了解更多這個行業的信息。

? 有人會把網上的數據直接下載就算完事，有人則會從不同的渠道找到不同維度（如開店數、營業額、利潤額、員工人數等）上的數字，并且試圖了解和揭示不同資料來源出現統計差異的原因（至少是指出這些不同來源的統計差異）。

? 有人會把相關的信息直接剪貼到電子郵件里發給老板，有人則會根據公司的過往文件找到相應的圖表作為模板，然后把自己搜集來的信息整理成一個漂亮的Powerpoint或者Word文件。

? 有人會直接把這個文件作為附件發給上司郵件里什么都不寫，有人則會在郵件中提綱挈領地把調研結果用文字表述出來，這樣上司即使只看一眼也大概能知道結果。

? 有人會周五下班后就把這件事暫時放在一邊直到周一上班，有人整個周末都會因此而加班并且在周日夜里兩點把自己工作的成果發到上司的郵箱。

其實，你做的這件事也許對你的直接上司、對公司的大老板、對整個公司都沒有太大的影響，甚至你不提醒上司他第二周都未必想得起來還找你做過這件事。但是，別因此而輕視自己的工作，更別因此而輕視自己。對剛剛參加工作的大學生朋友而言，這件小事怎么做、做成什么樣，實在是非常非常的重要，因為它關系到你是不是有能力對自己的勞動成果負責，這比什么狗屁排名都重要得多。今天你對自己負責了，未來別人才敢讓你在更大的范圍內在更關鍵的時刻就更多的事對更多的人負責。

大學里應該做的四件事

(2006-06-07)

高的氣溫一開始烤我們，考生們就要高考了。

首先祝所有的考生們正常發揮，保持健康的身體和心態，該吃吃該睡睡該發短信發短信該聽《花戀蝶》聽《花戀蝶》。其次祝所有的考生家長們正常工作和生活，你們輕松了考生才能輕松，就算裝也要裝得像那么回事。

其實，考得好考不好考得上考不上都不是世界末日。高考只是人生中的一道坎兒，而人生中的坎兒多了去了。凡是多的東西，都沒什么大不了。

對于考上大學的同學，除了恭喜你們之外，我還想告訴你們從我自己的角度看大學四年里最重要的是什么。

? 發現自己的興趣與特長。沒有什么比發現自己的興趣與特長更重要了，因為我不相信一個人能把自己橫看豎看都不順眼的事做到最好。能夠發現自己的興趣與特長是非常幸運的，發現得越早就越幸運，因為和別人相比你可以少浪費一些時間。因此，如果你在走進大學校門的那一刻還不是很清楚自己將來要做什么，不妨多涉獵一些不同的學科，多參與一些不同類型的社團活動，有比較才能有鑒別，排除的多了剩下的就少了。如果四年的大學生活幫助你找到了能讓自己眼里放光、想著就興奮就睡不著覺的東西，那這四年就過得非常有價值。順便說一句，自己對什么東西感興趣、在哪些方面有特長以及未來可能從事什么樣的職業與你在大學讀了哪個系學了哪個專業基本上沒有太大的關系。

? 掌握學習的方法和工具。可以明確說明的是，你們在大學里學的那些具體的知識，工作以后90%以上都是毫無用處的。但是千萬別誤解，那些知識不重要并不代表學習不重要。事實上，學習這件事的核心不在于被學的那些知識，而在于學習的習慣、方法和過程；學習是個動詞，是動作就要有范兒。特別應該指出的是，同十年前相比，我們今天學習過程中最大的不同就是對互聯網的借助乃至依賴。一個人學習和研究的效率在很大程度上將取決于這個人在網絡上找到所需信息的準確性和速度。在一個有知識但是不太會使用工具的應聘者和一個雖然沒有太多知識但是非常知道如何去巧妙尋求幫助的應聘者之間，我們（我相信也包括絕大多數招聘方）會毫不猶豫地選擇后者。

? 提高英語、快速閱讀以及與人溝通相處的能力。對不同的人來說，根據其興趣、愛好以及未來的職業選擇，總有一些能力比另一些能力更加重要。不過，作為最大公約數，我認為在現代社會里有三個方面的能力是最容易讓人占到便宜的。這就是英語（特別是英語口語）、快速閱讀以及與人溝通交往的能力。背后的原因也很簡單：英語是因為經濟和文化的全球化發展，快速閱讀是因為以互聯網為代表的信息海量化趨勢，溝通交往是因為現代商業生活對于團隊協同作戰的要求。還有更簡單的一個原因：它們是很多用人單位最希望看到的能力。

? 交幾個值得一輩子交往的朋友，做幾件值得一輩子回憶的事情。大學四年如果只做到了上面提到的三點，只能說有收獲，但還是過得有點浪費。在這段時間里交一些值得交往一輩子的朋友、做幾件能讓自己在多少年后還能驕傲地回憶起來的“牛叉”事，才算真正對得起自己的青澀歲月。

寫到這里，不知您是否注意到了，其實大學里最應該做的這四件事好像沒有一件是不上大學就一定做不了的。

許慧欣有首很好聽的歌叫《七月七日晴》。希望六月七日一樣晴，晴在天空更晴在每個考生的心里，因為對他們來說無論結果如何這一天都正好可以用范冰冰的另一首歌來形容—《剛剛開始》。

歡迎回到地球（上）

(2009-11-01)

這是我今天上午在長江商學院MBA08班畢業典禮上的演講。這個演講使得我錯過了北京的第一場雪，并且用了將近10個小時才回到雪后的北京。

非常抱歉，他們要求用英文演講，因此只有英文版。我實在沒有時間把這么長的文字翻譯成中文了。

雖然有稿，但我上午絕大多數時間里是脫稿狀態，所以—如果和錄音比較的話—實際講的和這里刊出的文本會有一些出入。

按照慣例，前面兩段都是玩笑，僅僅為了活躍氣氛。我對長江、北大、中歐的學習氛圍沒有質疑。

因為篇幅較長，新浪對文本字數又有限制，因此可能需要分幾次登出。對給您帶來的閱讀不便表示歉意。

本來沒有題目，但學校那邊非要讓我起個題目，所以就有了《歡迎回到地球》。

Dear Class of 2009, Parents, and Friends:

It is always an honor to be invited to speak at the commencement of a prestigious school like Cheung Kong(Changjiang).To invite an investment banker to give the commencement address this year after what happened on Wall Street last year is like inviting Bin Laden to your Halloween party.So now I know you have guts…or maybe you just don’t know better.Actually what’s more scary than inviting Bin Laden to your Halloween party is to buy those shares listed on ChiNext at 1 p.m.last Friday…and I hope you weren’t part of that.Today is a big day for all of you.Because after today, you won't have to pretend that you are actually trying to learn something while networking with your classmates.Well, the good news is that those folks at Beida or ZhongOu are not doing much learning OR networking, so you still come out alright.When I wrote this address, I had to save it into a folder on my computer.First, I thought about creating a new folder with a title of something like “Future” but decided it was too much of a cliché.I also thought about saving the file in my “Marketing” folder.But that wouldn’t be appropriate either since the only thing I am trying to sell to you is a reason to spend the next 20 minutes in this room as opposed to getting drunk ahead of your peers.Finally, I decided to place the document under a folder entitled “Personal”.I want to send each of you a “personal” message, a message that is so “personal” that it has to do with your bodies.?Well, for both female and male.Eyes

Let’s start with your eyes.Yes, you need to use your eyes to look into the future, seeing hopefully just a few miles farther than most of your peers.You need to use them to discover opportunities and uncover danger.You also need to use them identify issues and problems that you will hopefully become a part of their solutions.But most importantly, I want to encourage you to use your eyes to see the positive side of life.The world as we know sucks in many, many ways.There is poverty and major inequity in many places;the environment is getting worse;the job market is as tough as it could be;and guess what, your future boss may be the biggest idiot on earth…

However, every coin has two sides.Look at the bright and the positive side.The journey of life is like a bumpy flight, and being positive and genuinely optimistic is the best gift your can give to yourself.It will not only help enhance your chance of success, but will also make you a happier person, which—at least in my view—is the ultimate success for each one of us.I still remember the day when I received a rejection letter from Harvard College while I was still going through my senior year at Punahou School in Hawaii.Prior to that I had been admitted to Macalester College in Minnesota with full scholarship, but Harvard of course held more prestige and appeal in name.When I brought the bad news to my host Mother, who had been taking care of me, she did not look upset for a second.“Well, this IS good news for you,” she said, “because you can always go to Harvard for graduate school, but this is probably the only chance for you to experience a truly liberal arts education.Plus, if you can survive the brutal winter in Minnesota, you can survive America!”

Two years later, I transferred to Harvard from Macalester after my sophomore year in college, and to this day, I have zero regret over spending the prior two years at Macalester.Steve Jobs, in his commencement address a few years back, said that life is about connecting all the dots.Well, Minnesota was an important dot for me.But more importantly, from my conversation with my host mother, I learned how to deal with setbacks and failures and cast them into a positive light.Mouths

Now let’s talk about your mouths.Yes, you may use them to express and articulate your views and perspectives.You may use them to support a rightful course such as environment and rights to individuals.You may use them to admit and take responsibility for a mistake.You may even use them to crack a joke to lighten up a conversation.But there are two things I want to mention in particular.First, use them to state a promise…and make sure to keep it.Just two days ago, Huayi Brothers went public with a resounding success, hitting a total market cap of an unbelievable RMB 12 billion.Three years ago, I was representing a buy-side client to acquire the majority stake in Huayi Brothers Music.At a lunch with the buyer, Wang Zhongjun agreed in principle to the deal we helped crafted.Subsequently, however, we learned that he took a lot of beating from his board members including people like Ma Yun for agreeing to relinquishing control on the music business.For a few days, I thought the deal was in jeopardy.Finally, at a meeting with the CEO of the buyer, Zhongjun said—“The thing I hate most now is my hand.I should not have shaken hands with you on this deal.But since I did, I am going to stand by my promise, and let’s move forward.”

To this day, every time I hear negative comments on Zhongjun, I talked about his commitment to keeping his promise.I think it is no coincidence that Huayi Brothers became the first privately held entertainment companies in China to have snapped a successful IPO in the A-share market.Second, you should always remember to use your mouths and words—and more importantly, your actions—to encourage and support others around you.I don’t know if you have heard this story about the frogs—

A group of frogs were hopping through the woods, when two of them fell into a deep pit.All of the other frogs gathered around the pit to see what could be done.When they saw how deep the pit was, they agreed that it was hopeless and told the two frogs in the pit that they should prepare themselves for their fate.Unwilling to accept this, the two frogs began to jump with all of their energy.Some of the frogs shouted into the pit that it was hopeless.The two frogs continued jumping as hard as they could.Finally, after a couple hours, one of the frogs took message from his fellows.Tired and disheartened, he quietly gave up the effort, laid down at the bottom of the pit, and died as the others looked on in helpless grief.The other frog continued to jump with every ounce of energy he had…And Bang!He finally made it out of the pit.Amazed, the other frogs celebrated his miraculous freedom and then gathering around him asked, “Why did you continue jumping when we told you it was impossible?” Reading their lips, the frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that when he saw their gestures and shouting, he thought they were cheering him on.What he had perceived as encouragement inspired him to try harder and to succeed against all odds.Class of 2009, I am in full belief that many of you will become leaders in your organizations someday.As leaders, the most daunting challenge is to inspire and motivate your people so that they can make even greater efforts and contribution.I hope you will remember this story about the frogs.A few cheerful words, an encouraging look, and a pat on the back can go a very long way and make a big difference.Just last night, we learned the sad news about Chen Lin, a well-known singer, who jumped to her death.It was speculated that she had some problems with her relationships.Well, if people around her had given her a little more care and encouragement, perhaps the tragedy could have been averted.Hands

Next, let’s talk about your hands.Yes, it is easy to want to use them to point to others for faults and mistakes.But please remember, time is always better spent on identifying our own shortcomings and thinking about possible improvements than trying to find a scapegoat.Yes, it is easy to want to use them to grasp opportunities and get ahead.But we should also be willing to use them to reach out and help the weak, the poor, and the needed.Yes, it is easy to want to use them to shake hands on big deals.But we should also be prepared to use them to take good notes, to write a personal thank-you note, to make a copy, to mark up on a business document, to crack up a financial model, to fill a cup of coffee for your associate, and to open the door for your female colleagues.A trip of a thousand miles has to begin with that very first step, and great accomplishments are results of doing numerous small things that eventually become those connected dots.I have this friend from HBS who joined Morgan Stanley after our graduation.A year later, I bumped into him in NYC while getting my Starbucks around Time Square.I asked him how he liked his job.I was expecting to hear about all these fancy big deals that he was doing.But what he said to me was: “Well, I learned how to make the people at the print shop happy so they can give my pitch books priorities.” “How did you do it?” I asked.“Well,” he said, “I remembered each of their snack preferences—some of them like pizza and others like KFC…and I also remembered the names of their pets and sweethearts.”

A few years later, it wasn’t coincidental he was made a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, one of the youngest in Morgan’s history.Feet

After your hands, it’s time to talk about your feet.You can use them to kick the tires and test the water.You can use them to stand tall and firm.You can use them to dash to an opportunity, but equally important, you can use them to walk away.We must be prepared to walk away from opportunities.This is particularly salient in China where opportunities pop up like camera lights at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.However, we must always remember that 99.99% of the opportunities that pop up in front of us are inherently having nothing to do with us, and therefore we should not waste our precious time chasing after them.We must also be prepared to walk way from situations that violate our basic principles and core value, no matter how high the stake is.Years ago, we were approached by a film and TV series production company that was in the process of raising a major round of financing.I had known the owner for quite some time, and he was the type of person that would open three bottles of Chateau Laffet of over RMB10,000 apiece simultaneously to show his hospitality and generosity when no one at the table is really a big wine connoisseur.So not surprisingly, we were offered a handsome fee for helping them close this round of financing.However, as we dug a little deeper, we realize that their financials were totally cooked up, and their real need was for us to help them cover the funny accounting.That’s when our conscience began to work.I told him that while the opportunity was attractive from a financial perspective, it was simply something we couldn’t do.And we walked.Subsequently, the company found someone else to help them with their cooked-up financials, and eventually took in a hefty sum from a well known institutional investor.Today, that investor is kicking himself for having made the investment since the projections were totally fabricated, but at least we could sleep well at night for not having played a role in it, and we didn’t lose credibility with him.In our business, credibility and reputation is the most important asset we have got.Hearts

Finally, a few words about our hearts.Yes, most of the time, we use our brains to think, to question and challenge, and to come up with answers and solutions to a problem.But sometimes, we have to use not just our brains, but also our hearts, to make a decision and live with it.Those decisions made by our heats are usually the best decisions we could ever hope to make, because they reflect what we truly believe.If our brains are powerful machines which help us digest and analyze the gazillion pieces of information, our hearts are the engines of those machines.We as human beings are not defined by our appearance, education, jobs or achievements.Instead, it is our hearts that truly define who we are.So let’s hope our hears are soft enough to sympathize, and yet strong enough to stand a Tsunami in our life.Let’s hope that they are sensitive enough to feel, bright enough to warm, tolerant enough to welcome opposition and challenges, and big enough to forgive even our enemies.Our hearts tell us what to believe and what to question, what to respect and what to disdain, what to compromise on and what to insist upon.They get us through the long dark hours, and guide us through the numerous do’s and don’ts.A few years ago, I was visiting with a U.S.-based client who is also an avid sports car collector.He told me this story about his Porsche 959, which was the fastest sports car in the 80s.Back then, there were only seven of these in the entire United States, and the owners included Bill Gates.Because the car never quite fulfilled all the legal requirements, it was technically illegal to drive them to the road.One night, his 15-year old son decided to show off this car to his friends after having a few bottles of beer with them.Well, perhaps he had one too much, before he knew it, he had hit on a tree at a street corner.The front end of the car was in total wreck.Not wanting to alert the police, he called up another friend, who helped tolled the damaged car back to his garage.“Then what happened?” I asked my client.“Well, we flew a few engineers from Europe in to help fix the car.” He said.“Did the value of the car diminish?”

“No, absolutely not.You see, that’s the difference between a top-tier car and a regular car.The value of a top-tier car is all in its engine.As long as the engine is not damaged, the car could be a pile of iron, and you could still count on its value after fixing it.”

Well, let’s hope we all have that Porche 959 engine in ourselves.That engine, I think, is our heart.Finally, please imagine if you had to spend three days on a lonely planet, away from earth, what would you bring with you other than essentials such as water and food?

Your mobile phone is useless since there is no signal there, so you can’t use it to SMS your friends and loved ones.Your laptop will not be very useful since there is no broad band access and you won't be able to steal vegetable on Kaixin.You can’t bring your cars since there will be no road to drive on.You certainly can’t bring your golf gears since there is no golf course and the balls will not fly the same curve anyway.The answer is--you really don’t need to bring anything.That is--as long as you have a pair of eyes that look firm and positive, a mouth that you can use to encourage others as well as yourselves, hands that can lift stones and make yourself a place to sit and rest, feet that can walk away from danger, and a heart that is as strong as the engine of a Porche 959.Well, I take that back.Maybe an iPod, but make sure you only have songs with legitimate copyrights.?And make sure to bring some pictures of your family and friends.Because no matter how high or how far you travel in life, your family and friends should always stay at the very heart of that Porche 959 engine.Good luck coming back to earth, and welcome to real life.Thank you.
