A friend from the construction industry came to me at night to pour bitter waters on me. Said that he was chatting with colleagues during the day, and found that the new freshmen from the department were actually paid more than himself. Thinking that I have been in the company for almost 7 years, drawing pictures, raising capital, and running the construction site, there are a lot of work to do.
”It’s too embarrassing. You said that I have stayed for so long, and I have no credit or hard work. This shit job is really meaningless.” Seeing his righteous indignation, I couldn’t help suggesting: “Since I am so wronged, Why don’t you just change the company?” He stopped talking immediately. Many people may know that the more business trips in the construction industry, the greater the development opportunities.
However, my friend has never been ambitious, and every time the company arranges him to go on a business trip, he feels too hard, either because of something at home or because he is not feeling well to avoid the business trip. Every day, apart from sitting in front of the computer and drawing mechanically, I don’t do any extra get off work, and I go home after work. It is said that he has worked for 7 years, but in fact, his ability has been spinning in place, and his energy is obviously not as good as that of young people. Mixing and mixing, if you are not careful, you will become the lowest cost-effective existence in the workplace.
I read a very poignant saying on the Internet: “In this era, artificial intelligence is not scary like a human being. What is scary is that the more people live, the more like artificial intelligence.”
Have you noticed that there are many friends around us like the ones I just mentioned Such a person: looks conscientious every day, never arrives late or leaves early, but it is never his turn for promotion and salary increase. Seeing the new young people running ahead of him, he felt the crisis. While holding the “hard work book” of the past and complaining, he was thinking about a way out. However, there is a full working experience, and there is no capital to change jobs. You can only jump into the endless cycle of “complaining – continuing to mess around – complaining again” day after day.
According to previous statistics, people spend most of their time at work in addition to sleeping. Many people just want to get through the 8 hours of work, but don’t think about how to make it more valuable. As He Jiayan, a professional celebrity, said: “When you spend time at work, you are actually wasting your time. Because you think your time is worthless, how can your salary be so high?”
I want to get rid of the status quo but I am too lazy to improve myself. It looks like 10 years of experience, but the same days are repeated for 10 years. Every day you live by is the biggest waste of your life. Remember the “slow horse’s law” in psychology? The lazy horse looked down on the other horse who worked hard for one second, and was complacent for his own cleverness. The next second, he was sent to the slaughterhouse by his master.
There is a saying that is very true: “The rules of this world are like this. As long as your value is not as good as others, you will be ruthlessly eliminated.” In this era, elimination is like commonplace. The time you waste in messing around will slowly turn into the abyss that traps you. Makes you watch others speeding forward, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Time is the fairest thing in the world, you choose to kill it, and it will kill you in turn. Every day that could have made you better, once wasted, never comes back. In this ever-changing era, no one will be waiting for a stroll. You can’t just do yourself well, you have to do better than others. Doing a little more today than yesterday, and being a little more proficient tomorrow than today is the greatest truth of ordinary people. Only when you have bowls and chopsticks on your body can you always have food to eat.
Maybe you are slowly losing your passion in your day-to-day work, maybe you are sleepless all night because your career path is getting narrower and narrower… But don’t forget, people are really tired in life, not tired from hard work. Rather, it is anxiety and confusion. The greatest suffering in life is not the suffering of overtime, but the powerlessness and despair in the face of life. When you really start working for yourself, all the difficulties will give way to you. The classes you’ve worked over, the projects you’ve done, and the skills you’ve learned will become your confidence, so that you won’t be mean to anyone for life at any time.
