Why did I decide to go back to learning? I used to be an ordinary employee at a state-owned enterprise. I had no experience in business, no background in marketing, and no formal training—yet I went out on my own for a while, worked as a beauty consultant, helped my husband start his own business, and gradually took on the role of managing the marketing side. I learned by trial and error, relying entirely on my own insights. But after reaching a certain level, I hit a major bottleneck: first, building and managing a team; second, scaling up marketing efforts. So I had no choice but to go back to school. To be honest, studying can be exhausting and expensive—spending 80,000 or 100,000 yuan for just three to five days is not uncommon. Still, I believe that learning, no matter what aspect you focus on—whether it’s expanding your knowledge, sharpening your mindset, or refining your way of thinking—is incredibly valuable. The theoretical frameworks and the lessons learned from others’ experiences and mistakes that you acquire through study provide a solid foundation for guiding your actions, which helps you move faster toward your goals and reduces the likelihood of going off course. Frankly speaking, I find learning absolutely essential for me. There are many things you might invest money in, but if your management practices or marketing strategies turn out to be flawed, the cost of those mistakes can end up being far greater than the tuition itself. On top of that, new knowledge, technologies, and tools are evolving at breakneck speed. If you don’t keep learning, you’ll simply fall behind the times. To stay relevant and avoid being left behind, we must embrace change, remain proactive, and commit to lifelong learning. In fact, at our company, we deeply admire employees who are eager to learn, curious, and committed to digging deep into problems. I truly believe that only such employees can deliver greater value to our customers and help individuals achieve long-term success.
