Proud Miss Penguin (ID: qierxiaojie-ll)
Last weekend, Chipa said that she discussed a very grounded workplace topic-
Are those who can do more work pits?
At first glance, it is obviously a big pit.
Capable people must work harder.
As Huang Zhizhong said, it's like when a person has money, more and more people will come to him to borrow money.
The inevitable price of being an almighty is being asked to work harder.
Ability itself is not a curse, but people think that people who have the ability to work harder are a curse.

We all want to be "generalists" in the workplace.
And this all-powerful label must be acquired through the accumulation of time.
So we force ourselves to be a "strong" adult.
As Zhan Qingyun said:
Our society puts young people into the social machine like fuel.
It only asks what these young people can do for society.
Never ask what this society can do for young people.
They only ask what these young people can do for society.
Without asking whether these young people also need their own lives.
I am deeply touched by this and share one thing I did at work this year.
Shortly after I entered the company, my boss called me into the conference room.
Ask if you can change from editing the copy content at hand to planning the operation.
The reason is that the company thinks that my previous work experience is more in line with the current company's project arrangement.
At first glance, I was quite happy.
Thinking, the boss finally saw my advantages and appreciated me.
So I replied, you can try.
If you can play a greater role for the company, why not?
So the boss got to the point,
The premise of this job is to work overtime at night and answer customers' questions.
When I heard this, I realized that the plan was not what I thought.
If it is based on working overtime at night, then I still can't accept the deployment work.
So I refused.
At this time, the boss also said fairly and objectively:
Nowadays, young people who just graduated are very headstrong and lack an effort.
You know, if you don't try to make some achievements now,
In the future, the company will choose you, not you.
I smiled and nodded hard,
Yes, I admit that the leader is right, which is also a fact.
It's just that my definition of work is different.
Work is just a part of my life,
I won't change my whole life rule because of my work.

Pit is a feeling, not a fact.
As the saying goes, different people have different opinions.
I think there is no uniform standard answer to this question, which varies from person to person.
The key is what do you want from this job? Is it money or ability?
As the economist Xue Zhaofeng said, there are three questions about how to look at work:
First, work is an opportunity.
Work is not just an effort,
In the long run, it is a process of accumulating one's own abilities.
Just as farmers plant crops in spring and harvest in autumn, it takes time to settle.
If you want to get as much as you give,
Then of course you will become a miser.
And every job is actually a prelude to the next job and an opportunity.
We do not work for others, but for ourselves.
Second, your efforts will be seen.
Every effort in the workplace has not been in vain.
There is always a discerning person who can see your efforts.
This sentence reminds me of my first job when I first came into contact with copywriting-soft text editor.
That's what my boss told me at the time.
Don't think that no one knows what you are doing.
Your every move is in the eyes of the whole company.
Don't use your cleverness in your work, it's not enough.
Real professionals are always as smart as fools.
Third, do you want your job income back? Or was it given by someone else?
Perhaps most people will think that this is of course what I want to come back.
Then we can try to think about it. In your work today,
How much do you want? How much do you want? How much more do you want? How old are you?
Actually, the job opportunity was given by others.
The income and benefits of work are given by others.
Adam Smith said:
At work, smart people never say what I need, but what I can do for you.
Although the return seems a bit vulgar,
But work, work that doesn't talk about returns is hooliganism.
But I think that since it is "more work", there should be corresponding "more rewards".
Whether it is money or ability.

Gao mentioned that at present, the shortest legal working hours in the world are
Germany and France, Belgium and the Netherlands implement a 35-hour working week.
We are slowly reducing working hours to improve the quality of life.
And improving ability means reducing labor,
Those who can do more work go against the original intention of labor evolution.
But what can be pursued must be to pay less and get more?
The answer is just the opposite.
I was lucky enough to talk to the boss of a new media entrepreneur about my attitude towards work and life.
My vulgar view is that after five days of hard work,
I can enjoy my two-day weekend,
That is, work is for a better life.
The entrepreneur said,
Have you ever thought that in fact, taking two days off at the weekend is to enable you to adjust your energy and better devote yourself to next week's work?
In fact, the words are the same, but our emphasis is different.
What I value more is the two-day weekend.
What he values more is the five-day work efficiency.
Obviously, my realm really needs a lot of room for improvement.
So, the boss can be the boss,
You must firmly believe that he is always superior in many places.
For example: perseverance, extraordinary endurance, and super self-control and so on.

In fact, it is not always a good thing for those who can work harder.
Our generation of young people can carry too much, work too hard and support too much.
Everything must live up to expectations, running first, and academic performance first.
As Cai Kangyong said, getting ahead comes at a price.
There is no shortage of these competitive people in our time.
Grab a handful at will, more than hair.
Whether at work, in life or emotionally,
Quit your emotions, don't break down or break down easily,
It seems to have become a standard of "qualified adults".
?
We are getting stronger and stronger, but we are also a little sad.
Even the collapse is silent and digested by itself.
Work hard, just to prove that it can look effortless in the world.
But I still want to say,
If you are overwhelmed by your current job, change your job.
Where is the work that must be done in the world,
Most of them are strong supports that refuse to give up.
Don't go to yoga class if you can't spare the time.
Eat eight points full, walk more after meals, less greasy and more coarse grains,
Self-discipline is always much more useful than external body shaping.
You always say that you yearn for people with money and face,
Independent and free women in the new era, and you want to be them,
So you work so hard,
You turn yourself into a top.
But few people can bear the pain of their own carving.
When you can't stand the pain,
Your self-relationship will collapse.
Forget it,
Time waits for no one,
Obviously, you won't let yourself go.
Only when you are willing to give up something,
You can gain more beauty,
Shake hands with your inner self.
Finally, I sincerely wish all my friends:
May you have the ability to work harder, the right to say no, and the courage to lie down.
