Experience determines depth and knowledge determines breadth. What is your life?

I have an interesting observation about work and life. Foreign companies are mostly white-collar workers aged 25-35. There are very few employees over 40 years old. The employees of foreign companies in their 20s and 30s are full of enthusiasm, but foreign companies are near 40 years old. The manager is very embarrassed. Most of the foreign-invested managers I have seen near the age of 40 have been quit, and most of them jumped to private enterprises, for example, Tang Jun. The success of foreign employees is largely the success of the company. It is not a personal success. Siemens is indeed bigger than Gome, but it does not mean that Siemens China managers are stronger than Gome’s bosses, and can even say that they are far away. People who enter foreign companies often don't understand this very early, and attribute 90% of their success to their own abilities. In fact, foreign companies can change their general manager in China without any significant impact on their performance. Well, the problem is coming. When these managers are in their 40s, their salary requirements have become very high, and their talents are actually not so outstanding. As a boss of a foreign company, how would you choose? Some people who are not smart enough to be savvy and energetic young people, some, why use you?
From the above example, we can actually see our work trajectory. At the age of 20 or 30, the pressure of life is still relatively small, and the body is still relatively good. The parents above are good, there are no children below, no need to repay the mortgage, No children have to go to college, and a small white-collar worker from a foreign company is still very glamorous. It is enough to earn a lot. But people will eventually marry and have children. After all, they will be old. At the age of 40, their parents are old. They have to take medicine for medical treatment. They must be cared for, they must pay for their mortgages, they must live a basic and decent life, they must raise children... How much money is enough to spend is important. Therefore, looking at the work, the vision should be farther away. Whoever is high and who is low can not explain anything.
From this perspective, I am not in favor of paying too much attention to the salary of the first job, and it is even more unnecessary to compare the salary of the first job, which is very common among students who have just left the campus. Normal people work for 35 years. It is like a marathon. Unlike a real marathon, there are no professional players in this competition. Everyone has only one chance. It should be known that many people even insist on not reaching the end. Most people end up at the end. Only a few people have crossed the finish line. Therefore, at the beginning, it is not very meaningful to grab the leading position. . If you enter the top 500 companies when you first enter the society, you will probably get 3k -6k/month salary. Some special technical talents may be able to go to 8k/month. The question is, how much will you get in 5 years? Estimated 5k-10k is amazing. Although the starting point is high, the increase is limited, and the pressure on young people to catch up is getting bigger and bigger.
I asked for one of my sales two days ago. You will learn these things for a new person for 2 years, but the salary that the new person asks is only half of yours. What do you do when you get there?
A career is like a sports competition, with preliminary, rematch and finals. In the preliminary round, everyone just entered the society. Most of them are people of average strength. At this time, if you work hard, you will soon be able to stand out. So some people will be managers in their twenties, and some will be late. Finally won the preliminary round, became a manager in his thirties. Then there is the rematch. Those who can participate in the semi-finals are all winning the preliminary rounds. Everyone has some ability and is not a problem in terms of intelligence. It is not so easy to win again at this time. It is hard to work hard and earnestly. Not enough, we must have a strong sense of perseverance, we must know how to rely on the strength of the team, we must know how to convince people, we must have a long-term vision...
It seems that winning the rematch is not easy, but it is not that difficult. Because the rule of the world is to give people a little success and to be complacent. People who have just won the preliminary competition often don’t know that they have won only the preliminary round. With a little achievement, most people will be proud and self-satisfied. I understand all of them and don't need to work harder to learn. They think that the reason why they can't go further is not their own reasons. Although they are still not good at dealing with them, they have no patience, no measurable measures, and no clear long-term vision. Like an angry bullfighting, although it is fierce, it will eventually be defeated, and the people who won the rematch are like the bullfighter. They are not in a hurry, follow their own beats, and slowly exhaust their patience and strength. After winning the semi-final, it was already a very great professional manager. He became the general manager of small and medium-sized companies, and the deputy general manager of the big company, who was in charge of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of businesses every year.
The final finals came. To be honest, I haven’t won the finals myself. Therefore, the final factor for the finals can only be based on my own guess. The win or loss at this time may be like that written in the martial arts novels. Everyone is a master. I can only wait for the other party to make a mistake. It is impossible to easily defeat the opponent. In addition to making the best, it takes a little luck and time. The laws of the world still play a role. The people who won the semi-finals are not only complacent. They often use their own words. If they can’t listen to others, some people’s temper becomes irritable, their mood becomes impetuous, their bodies become bad, they are the biggest. The enemy is their own. What they have to do in the finals is not to be defeated by themselves, waiting for others to be defeated by themselves. This is the same as the sports competition. In the end, the game between the players is the one who wins the finals.
Second, the roots of your work happy? Is your job good?
Do you feel that working for a while is very unhappy? Do you feel that you have entered the wrong line? Do you feel that you have not received the treatment you deserve? Do you feel that it is a pain to work like a mess? Do you really want to change jobs? Do you think that the company is not as good as it was originally? Do you think that this job was originally sought for because of the pressure of survival? Is it really not suitable for you? Do you get what you want from your work? Are you happy every day?
There are many angry people on the horizon, have you ever thought about why you are not happy? Why are you angry?
In fact, the root of your unhappiness is because you don't know what you want! You don't know what you want, so you don't know what to pursue, you don't know what to pursue, so you can't get anything.
I always feel that the first thing to focus on in my career is myself. What do you want? Most people probably haven't thought about this problem. The only thought is just - I want a job, I want a good salary, I know everyone's desire for salary, but you want to be heavy every few years. Is there a process of finding a job? Do you want to spend this year in anxious about work and salary? If you don't want to, just think clearly. Drinking and quenching thirst, you can't drink poison because of thirst. The more anxious, the more you feel that you need a job, the more you are hungry, the more you don't know, the more likely you are to fail, your experience is getting worse and worse, and the next job person will look at your resume and frown. So the more you drink the more thirsty, the more thirsty you drink, the more you fall into a vicious circle. In the end, I can only lament the unfairness of the world or the time when I was born. I can only vent to the end of the world and seek a little psychological balance in the resonance of the losers. Most people have the pressure to survive. Me too, there is a lot of anxiety when there is pressure to survive. Positive people will get motivation from anxiety, while negative people will lose their direction because of anxiety. Everyone must make choices under pressure. This is the world. You like it or not.
Generally, the things we deal with are divided into important things and urgent things. If you don't do important things, you will often do urgent things. For example, it is important to exercise to maintain your health, and it is urgent to see a doctor. If you don't exercise and stay healthy, you will often worry about your illness. Another example is fire prevention, which is an urgent matter. If you do not pay attention to fire prevention, you should always save fire. The same is true for finding a job. It is an important matter to think about what you want. Finding a job is an urgent matter. If you don't want to be good, you will often find a job. Often urgent things put pressure on people, forcing people to do it quickly. Relatively important things are not so much pressure. Most people do things with pressure-oriented, under pressure, always feel non- It is necessary to do urgent things first, and the result is to always fight the fire everywhere, and never stop. Those who say that they live in dire straits for survival are not so many friends. The difficulty in finding a job today is that you did not do important things at the beginning, and the result is not the cause. If you are still eager to find a job today and don't think about it, then you may continue to suffer the painful job of finding a job in the future.
I always feel that the topic I want to talk about is a bit heavy and requires a lot of thinking. It is far more boring than Tang Xiao’s topic of playing the armed police. However, there is no easy success in the world, success, and the price. Please forget all the pressures of survival, think about what you want most in this life? So, the most important thing, first think about what you want.
3. What is a good job? At the beginning, Microsoft had a Tang Jun. Many young people in the university felt that this was their longing career. The posts I posted in Tsinghua bbs were dismissed by these students. At that time, the students only wanted to go abroad. Or go to a foreign company, but now it seems that I am still right, Tang Jun went to Shanda, Chen Tianqiao founded Shanda, a private company. A highly educated returnee has high salaries in the top 500 companies. This is about the dream of many young people. The problem is that college graduates are doing this dream every year, but there are only 500 good jobs.
People are all face-to-face, and they like to compare. Even at work, they like to compare, whether it is what they want. Everyone thinks that the foreign company is very good, but where is it? Ok, they are in a better office building. Is this what you want? They are on a business trip to a better hotel. Is this what you want? Others will envy the work of a foreign company. Is this what you want? Everything is for others to see. Why do you want to live so hard to show others? On the other hand, their salary and benefits are generally not particularly remarkable. Their promotion opportunities are relatively small. It is difficult to achieve high-level supervisors. Although they hate to work overtime often, they dare not work overtime because "you don't have to do it." "People do", in most cases, you will find a Taiwanese Hong Kong person Singaporean to take care of you, and these people often have some inexplicable superiority. Do you want to be clear? Is the 500 strong? Looking for a job is to consider what you want, or to consider what others want to see?
Most of my college classmates have been in the United States, and even after graduation for so many years, some people have recently gone abroad. Is it really so good to go abroad? Most of my college classmates are still struggling with doctors, postdocs, and visiting scholars. So far, only one is getting a formal faculty at an American university. Is it difficult for domestic professors to be present? I have several cousins ​​who have gone abroad. Their parents are alone in the country. No one cares. There are several times when people faint at home. No one knows, going abroad, is it really so glorious? As someone said, "A lot of things are like watching an A film. People who look at it feel very cool, and people who do it may not."
People always want to find the best, but what is the best? What do you think is the best, is it because you really understand, or because others say that he is the best? Even if he is the best for others, is it the best for you?
For what you want, you have to be clearest, and the opinions of others are not that important. Many people are always influenced by the opinions of others, the opinions of relatives, the opinions of friends, the opinions of colleagues... The question is, who is your life? A person's life is not a sequel to his parents' life, nor a prequel to his children's life. It is not an outside story of a friend's life. Only you are responsible for your own life, and others cannot afford this responsibility. The decision I made myself, at least until the end, I have nothing to regret. For most people with normal intelligence, there is no big right or wrong to make a decision. No matter what choice, you can try it. For example, if you didn't take the school you went to, you didn't enter the current industry. Can you survive this life? Will it fail? not necessarily.
I think, good work should be the job that suits you. To be specific, it should be the job that can bring you what you want. You should probably use this to measure whether your work is good or not, rather than taking the company. The size, scale, foreign companies or state-owned enterprises are not well-known and are not measured by listed companies. A small company may not be a good company. It is not necessarily a good job to make more money. You still have to figure out what you want first. If you don't know what you want, you will never find a good job, because you will only see what you can't get, and what you get is yours. Unwanted.
Maybe, the best, already at your side, just, you haven't learned to cherish. People always stare at things they can't get, and ignore what they already get.

4. Ordinary people I find that the inspiration of Chinese people is very different from the inspirational foreign countries. China's inspirational encourages people to make great wishes, and they will be tempted to become rich and rich. Foreign inspirational encourages people to face the real life bravely. Facing the plight of ordinary people, although the result is rich and rich, the starting point is different. Relatively speaking, I think the latter is more realistic in operation, while the former needs to use 999 losers come to build a story of a winner.
We are all ordinary people. The meaning of ordinary people is that the probability is very accurate. Therefore, we will not buy 5 million in the lottery. We will not become Bill Gates or Li Ka-shing. We will not fly down. Very few of us will succeed in business. 30% of us will divorce. Most of us will live 65 years old...
So when you think about what you want, you have to be "realistic". You said that I want to be Li Ka-shing. Sorry, I can't help you. To be a person like Bill Gates or Li Ka-shing is to rely on life. Seeing this article I wrote will never let you be them. Even if you become them, it is definitely not the merit of my article. "Wang Hou will have a kind of relationship with Ning" but there is only one person who is truly an emperor. The princes will be in phase, and there are not many people. A higher target is good for people who like to challenge, but for most ordinary people, it is easier to be frustrated and easy to give up.
In retrospect, Li Ka-shing is roughly 500,000 times more expensive than you. Is he happier than you? perhaps. There are no more than 500,000 times more happy than you, certainly not. He is twice as happy as you are, and may not even be as happy as you. Finding what you want is not to compete with others, more than anyone else, and more ambitious than anyone else. Although the goal of becoming Li Ka-shing is ambitious, you don't necessarily get happiness from this goal and the process of pursuing it, and basically you can't do it. You have to listen to your inner voice and look for something that really makes you happy. That is what you want.
What you want, or what we call it a goal, there is no high or low goal. You don’t need to be uncomfortable because your goal is not too big. To achieve your goal is to succeed. Success is big or small. Happy is the same. We pursue success, but in fact we are chasing happiness brought by success, not success itself. On the road of career, we are often blindfolded by the mindset of comparison, forget what it is, and forget what makes us happier.
There is a lot of news about the richness of the night in the society. These messages will always set off a lot of jealousy in our hearts. When it is too much, it will become a stormy wave. The stormy waves in your heart will not make you a night storm, except that you will overturn the boat that carries your target. rich. "I only saw thieves eating meat, not seeing thieves." We ordinary people are neither the courage of being a thief nor the arrogance of being a thief. Although they are envious of eating meat, they are even more afraid of cockroaches, and occasionally see a few A thief who has no guilty can't hold it, or think about activities, or feel unfair. He really wants to be a thief, but he doesn't dare.
I still live the days of ordinary people, to the happiness of ordinary people, at least, sleep at night.
