If you walk well, you are a (a talented person); if you don’t know where you’re going, you usually won’t get anywhere. Career design Brand personality Xu Xiping launches another bestseller! Xu Xiping’s words make people cry, laugh, tremble, and break into a cold sweat. Xu Xiping dares to propose bold ideas—don’t go back to school for graduate studies, go to work first, seek employment, then go abroad, bow your head to be a corporate ox, and a thousand years is too long, don’t compete for dawn and dusk.

Xu Xiping became famous because he has a deep understanding of the real and significant problems faced by countless young people, and
