To maintain an "empty cup mentality"


To maintain an "empty cup mentality"

Tell everyone a story. In ancient times, there was a person who had a profound knowledge of Buddhism. He heard that there was a highly respected old Zen master in a temple and went to visit. When the apprentice of the old Zen master received him, he was arrogant and thought: I am a very deep-rooted person in Buddhism. How old are you? Later, the old Zen master received him very respectfully and made tea for him. But when the water is poured, the cup is full, and the old Zen master still keeps falling. He asked inexplicably: "Master, why is the cup full, but also going inside?" The master said: "Yes, since it is full, why bother?"
The meaning of the Zen master is that since you are already very knowledgeable, why should you come to me for advice? This is the story philosophy of "empty cup mentality." Its most direct meaning is that a cup full of water is difficult to accept new things. It is necessary to empty the "cup" in your heart, and completely emptied from the mentality of many things that you value and care about and the once glorious past. If you empty your heart, you will have an external release to achieve greater success. This is the most important mentality that every person who wants to develop in the workplace must have. It tells us the truth: the premise of doing things is to have a good attitude first. If you want to learn more, you must first think of yourself as "an empty cup" instead of complacency.
I have seen many college graduates. When I first entered the company, I often brag about it. I said how I was at school. I could have found a better job. I had to come here and so on. It seems that this company has wronged itself. . Here to remind those college students who are about to enter the workplace: this mentality must not be! Don't think that you are a cow. Still the words you don't like to hear: China has nothing to lose, just no shortage of people! Then again, if you are such a cow, why not like Bill? Like Gates, Dell, and Jobs, did the university drop out of school to start a world-class business without graduation? The train is not pushed, the cowhide is not blowing.
If you have the ability, use facts to prove it to others, instead of complaining all day long!
This mentality is equally important for friends who are in the workplace. There is a word in China called "Zhu Huai Ruo Gu". We all know that excellent people have a high level of literacy, and even a vain, they all have an all-inclusive mind. With such a heart, you will gain the respect of others in the workplace and you will get more Development opportunities. Similar words include "Great Wisdom and Fool", "Big and Careful", etc., not to mention, to experience.
