Making lists is a painful business, and this year is especially tragic.
Every summer for the past five years, the Fast Company team has lost a layer of skin, been dog-tired, and pulled all-nighters are a must-have meal by the time the MCP100 list is published.
If there is no accumulation at ordinary times, the emergency of the tired will be of no help - the so-called accumulation, is the savings of the usual "tired"; Take the opportunity to solve the fast company's "overwork", is the accumulation of usual labor, become the general fast wind.
Being a talent scout for innovators is a daily routine for Kuaizi, the nickname for the Kuaizi team and its fans. Once found a creative person, Kuaizi like treasure, immediately register, listed as a candidate; At the same time, cast a wide net, collect self-recommendation and recommender, continue to enrich the "stars" on the big list.
What does this list bring?
One opinion leader lamented: How can Fast Company find 100 different innovators year after year? There are also Internet red entrepreneurs said: fast company gave me the honor of MCP, is my year out walking river's lake the hardest card! However, one said: "The MCP100 list is nothing. I'm smarter than 85% of the people on it."
See, fast company selected MCP, most people are working day by day, bright future. But others have plagiarized, some have gone to jail, and some have fallen on hard times.
We never say that this is a perfect list, but it is definitely a list of the pursuit of "truth, goodness and beauty".
Life is uncertain. It is a sign of courage that Fast Company dared to use the creative dimension to select its people.
As long as the positive effects far outweigh the flaws, we should and must persist.
What it creates is creation itself.
Here is the fresh MCP100 list for 2018.
