Recommendation

Drive and resolution characterize successful entrepreneurs, and many business books and articles offer a behavioral, habit-building approach to help people cultivate these traits. Liang Ning, a director at Hupan University – the entrepreneur school that Alibaba CEO Jack Ma built – analyzes drive and resolution from an emotional perspective. She believes that successful people experience emotions at higher intensities compared to average people. Liang is a star product manager and entrepreneur who has worked for Lenovo and Tencent. Career coach Mo Tong summarized and expanded upon the lecture Liang gave on this subject in his WeChat wemedia account analysis of her talk. Mo delves into the role emotional motivators such as pain, fear and joy play in people’s life decisions and explains what you can do to break down the barriers you’ve put up in front of yourself. getAbstract recommends this article as a useful perspective to career-minded readers.

Take-Aways

  • Emotions such as pain, fear and joy determine how far people will go in their careers. 
  • Successful people feel pain and joy more acutely and intensely than average people, which drives them toward action and motivates them to reach higher. 
  • Pain-induced motivation may push people to work harder, for example, if someone younger achieves more than they do.
