有些国人不要高估自己!

这不是一个要不要自信的问题,而是一个要不要实事求是的问题!

过去几十年的高速发展,让很多人产生了某些不切实际的错觉——中国或中国人跟别人就是不一样,任何人间奇迹都可以创造出来,事实果真如此吗?

难道真如某些人所言,我们用40年走完了西方200多年的工业化道路?事实上中国的工业化发端于洋务运动,粗粗算来,也100多年了!过去40年我们赶上了一次千载难逢的机会,比如全球化浪潮等等,类似的条件,现在还存在吗?

跟现在相比,过去我们做的都是相对容易的事。比如利用大量年轻劳动力,承接过剩国际资本和产能,发展中低端制造业,大搞基建等等。可容易的事做完了,并形成不小泡沫,现在要做的,哪一样是轻松的?

所以,对历史和现实要有清醒认识,有些事是各种机缘造成的,你也可以理解为天命,当然更是亿万人民的付出甚或牺牲。何况以前基数太低,实现高速发展很正常,韩日德等国都曾如此,没什么了不起。现在每前进一步,都很难,每天都是逆水行舟,不进则退。


但有些人被各种妄念干扰,无视历史与现实,总想通过超常规的、跨越式的发展实现所谓弯道超车。这种思维,在历史上并不鲜见且酿成巨大悲剧。就算我相信有些人的动机是好的,但学棍例外,他们不过是一群收脑残税的机会主义者罢了。

恕我直言,很多人之所以产生种种浮躁的想法,甚或一天不吹牛就痒得不行,是因为三个高估四个低估。

1、有些人过高估计了所谓体制的优越性。以为藉由特别的资源整合方式,可以集中力量,实现弯道超车。用这种办法搞铁公基等等方面是可以的,但搞教育发展高科技行吗?是否可以优越到超乎常识之上?

2、有些人高估了我们的产业基础。认为作为世界工厂可以应付一切挑战。但缺乏核心技术,到底有多强的竞争力?何况其中不少是外资企业,如果人工智能大发展,人力资源优势消失,他们撤回本土或转移他处,我们怎么办?

3、有些人高估了中国人的创造力,特别是管理的智慧,以及基于人口规模的所谓人才优势。必须承认,尽管大学生、工程师的基数很大,但顶尖人才我们非常缺乏。在社会、企业管理方面,好像并没有特殊优势可言。

与此相对应,有些人也过低估计了对手、过低估计了自身的不足以及发展环境的复杂性,从而产生了某种自以为是自欺欺人的幻觉。


1、有些人过低估计老大或老牌发达国家的实力。为此,出现了一种西方已经衰落的时髦论断。跟巅峰期相比,老牌发达国家的比较实力有所下降,但瘦死的骆驼比马大,在很多方面,他们依然拥有显著的优势。

就算有一天,我们的经济总量超过美国,也很难取而代之,因为就综合国力而言,差距依然明显。经济总量决定论是很浅薄的。大致在甲午战争以前,大清的经济总量好像不输别人,但能说当时的我们是强国吗?

2、有些人过低估计了社会的复杂性。最为尖锐的问题就是由贫富差距造成的社会矛盾,看看基尼系数就一目了然,由此产生的各种问题有可能扩散,时刻威胁着社会稳定。随着人工智能发展,必然砸碎很多饭碗,我们是否为这些人准备好了新饭碗?

3、有些人过低估计了产业转型升级的困难。要实现产业转型,发展新产业,需要长期的技术积累、需要大量的高素质人才,而这些恰好是我们的短板。我们能在短期内完成技术积累、培养亟需的高素质人才吗?何况你在发展,别人也在发展啊,想赶上甚或弯道超车,真那么容易?

4、有些人过低估计了国际环境的复杂性。就人类过往的经验,他们会看着你强势崛起无动于衷?如果合伙斗地主,我们能否扛得住?大国崛起必然改变区域生态,邻居是否会心存恐惧跟我们作对?如果四邻不安,我们能否顺利发展?李光耀先生曾为此多次提出警告,谁听得进去呢?

如此等等,正是因为有些人罔顾历史与现实,高估自己的能力和优势,低估别人甚或不屑一顾,从而产生种种不切实际的妄念,搞出一些浮夸的目标,学棍们更是自欺欺人自吹自擂。这不是一个要不要自信的问题,而是一个要不要实事求是的问题。

对照历史的教训,我们很容易看出,这种浮夸思维多么有害。为了达成一些不切实际的目标,或超越了历史条件的短期内无法达成的目标,采取一些严重背离常识的措施,从而对社会生产、民众生活造成巨大破坏。

一是很可能造成社会与产业资源的大量浪费。如黑格尔所言,我们从历史吸取的唯一教训就是不吸取任何教训,我们会不会重蹈覆辙,投入了大量资源,最终是一地鸡毛?真如某些人以为的,靠钱就可以在短期内砸出一个科技强国,并实现弯道超车?

二是很可能为各种骗子提供上下其手的机会。简单捋一下,有多少地方扬言要建所谓硅谷、国际金融中心等等?又有多少个人或企业趁机上下其手中饱私囊?看看股市就一目了然,一个养猪做鞋的也号称是量子概念股,恶炒股价坑害股民。

三是很可能破坏了产业的有序发展。任何产业发展有其内在规律,需要一个过程,在所谓弯道超车思维的蛊惑下,很多人一窝蜂胡干蛮干,非但不会加速进度,很可能严重破坏产业发展。各种垃圾一哄而起,所谓劣币驱逐良币,只会图利一帮机会主义的骗子,卷了钱溜之大吉。

四是很可能严重污染社会风气。一个成熟理性的民族,就应该脚踏实地,通过艰苦努力得偿所愿。而那些浮夸思维根本就是自欺欺人,不愿意反省自身不足,不愿意艰苦奋斗,试问这样的民族会有多大前途?

要实现民族与国家的健康发展,必须彻底清除这种有毒的思维模式。要知道自己几斤几两,实事求是自强不息,而不是什么超常规的弯道超车。就算有些企业可以弯道超车,也不用大肆宣扬,免得造成全社会的浮躁。

不要盲目放大所谓的优越性,夸大人的主观能动性。离开了基本条件,唯意志论的搞法是非常危险的。最重要者,不要沉湎于宏大叙事,而应聚焦民生,利用有限的资源,切实改善人民的生活。

国家的光荣不是要成为世界老几,而是根源于人民生活的幸福指数。惟其如此,我们才能真正卓立于世界之林,得到全人类的尊重。

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education. There was another reason that Joanne was balky about signing the adoption papers. Her father was about to die, and she planned to marry Jandali soon after. She held out hope, she would later来源:小兵说天下
