Many people are half-hearted people who always "three days to fish and two days to dry the net" when doing anything, or they are the current "procrastination people", without much execution ability. I am often like this, so I have been working for four years and have not achieved much.
A management guru (can’t remember his name) said: If a person wants to succeed, he should read the experiences of non-successful people. Their experiences are more effective than the classic quotes of successful people like Li Ka-shing and Jack Ma. .
I think this statement is very dialectical, that is, it makes sense.
Here, as a non-successful person, based on my experience and what I have seen and heard in my work over the past four years, I have compiled a set of nine experiences to eliminate anticlimactic results and share them with readers. I think it must be effective for everyone.
1. Pretend.
I once saw someone on the Internet saying that if you pretend something for a long time, it becomes true.
A person likes to pretend to be serious. Over time, you will find that he really has deep qualities.
I have a classmate who likes cars and has no money to buy one, but he seems to know everything about cars. Four years after graduation, he truly became a semi-expert on cars.
So, when you are not passionate about work and study, you can pretend that you know everything, and show off to others if you have some achievements. Anyway, there is no loss.
After all, everyone wants face, especially us Chinese, where face is much more important than lining. For the sake of your face, you will continue to fill in this knowledge and ability, replenish your inner face, and finally achieve your face.
What should I do if I really can’t pretend anymore?
If you can’t pretend anymore, just keep pretending, and you won’t hear the gossip.
If you really can't pretend anymore, just smile "hehe" at those mockers. It doesn't matter at first, because you have to give yourself some allowance. Moreover, when you look back, you will find that you will really gain a lot and make progress in this field.
2. Be with passionate people.
The one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black. Being around passionate people is always a blessing. Passion is contagious, and when you are around passionate people, you will be infected by their passion and energy. At this time, you will begin to experience the feeling of doing one thing with all your heart.
I’m a lazy person. I don’t call leaders right or wrong, and I don’t know how to recruit leaders at all. In other words, nothing will happen. It's basically boring in the office. Our senior leader appreciated me very much and once placed me in the same office as him. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for his recognition. But in that environment, I was really bored to death, and I didn’t know how to do my job well. Later, my boss changed my office to another one. There is a buddy in the new office from Hunan who is born with a revolutionary mentality and is very passionate. Affected by this, I gradually relaxed in the work unit, my work ability gradually emerged, and my work performance gradually improved. Improved work ability further brings a better working mentality. In other words, a virtuous cycle has entered.
3. Wear headphones and block out the world.
In fact, in this world, the simpler the work mentality, the easier it is to achieve success.
Sometimes, you are originally very passionate about a certain specific job, but a word from someone around you intentionally or unintentionally makes you "fly away", and the passion for doing that thing disappears in an instant.
So, when your thoughts come to you and you do not meet the conditions for an independent office, you must find a way to give yourself a good work "world".
One of my methods is to work to music.
Of course, the songs you listen to should not be soft, but rather passionate. I've been listening to Deng Ziqi's songs recently, and I feel good about them.
In this way, you can achieve the goal of turning a deaf ear and focus on doing your own thing, while also reducing the chance of offending others by ignoring other people's chats.
4. Be a fan.
The power of big names is endless.
I met a journalist born in the 1990s in Shenzhen. He studied art, but he was very good at writing articles, especially about real estate. Her article has novel ideas, logical structure, and smooth language, which gives people a refreshing feeling after reading it.
Once, I asked her, how can you change from an art student to a columnist? How can we persevere with such a huge span?
"Be a fan." A very simple answer.
She liked a well-known writer very much when she was in college. As a loyal fan, she not only imitates her words and deeds, but also her thoughts and actions.
When she first came into contact with the real estate industry, she often couldn’t hold on. Anyone who has worked as a real estate reporter knows that competition in this industry is fierce.
So when she feels discouraged, she always reflects on herself: "If it were him (the famous writer), what would he think and do?"
From now on First of all, if you are losing your passion, why not find a big celebrity, be his (her) fan and let him (her) be your navigator?
5. Discover interests.
Interest is the best teacher.
We often find a job that turns out not to be what we like.
What should we do now? leave?
No! accept!
Then find what interests you about the job. Achieve the purpose of increasing passion through interest.
So how do you find your interests?
Lee Kai-fu once said something about finding interests, which he compiled.
“The best way to find your interests is to broaden your horizons and get in touch with as many fields as possible. Only by getting in touch can you have the opportunity to try, and only by trying can you discover what you love. Make full use of it resources, contact with different fields, jobs, and experts through libraries, auditing, the Internet, lectures, part-time jobs, community activities, communication with friends, emails, electronic forums, etc. At first, if I just went to the law department to take classes, I would not give it a try. I would never have discovered my strong interest in computers if I didn't sit in on computer classes, work in the computer center, or consult with teaching assistants in the computer department. At the same time, in the process of searching, I also broadened my horizons and gained knowledge. A lot of lessons. ”
This is how to discover your interests.
Of course, everyone’s method of discovery is different because everyone’s interests are different.
6. Dismantle the target.
"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't collect small streams, you can't build a river or sea."
Some people say, don’t set your ideal goals too high. The greater the gap between ideal and reality, the more painful it will be, and it is easy to make yourself negative. I don't think so. If Steve Jobs didn't live to change the world, he wouldn't have built the Apple empire.
Confucius said, if you take the method above, you can only get the middle; if you take the method, you can only get the bottom.
Ambitious goals are essential. This is strategy.
Break down your goals into smaller pieces and celebrate achieving them. This is a tactic.
Contempt strategically and attach importance to tactically.
Because everything you do now should be related to our dream, otherwise the possibility of realizing this dream is not very high.
If we can break down any ambitious goal, then achieving the goal will be easy and the passion will become higher and higher.
7. Record the time.
Why do I feel less enthusiastic after working for a while? How to solve it?
This is a normal phenomenon. Everyone will be depressed at times. What matters is your attitude towards facing it when you are depressed.
Record time.
There are two benefits. ?
The first is to understand the importance of arranging things to help clarify things and what to do first.
The second is to know how efficient your work is, which is a very good feedback for your work.
When you realize the importance of something, or know that you have paid so much for this matter, you will involuntarily think about how unfortunate it would be if you failed, and your passion will also rise quickly. Rekindled.
8. Cultivate a sense of crisis.
Born in sorrow and dying in happiness.
The sense of crisis is the source of a person's enterprising spirit and an important driving force for a person's growth and development.
When a person loses his sense of crisis, he will become content with the status quo. If he hesitates to move forward, the only thing waiting for him is the fate of being eliminated.
Scientists have done an experiment: put a frog into a pot of hot water, and the frog jumped out of the pot when it was stimulated by the hot water. Afterwards, they put the frog into warm water and slowly heated it. The frog swam freely in it. When he found that the water temperature was wrong, he was unable to jump out and died slowly.
This is what everyone knows as the "warm water frog."
I used to sleep until the afternoon on weekends, but since I became a house slave, when I was still lying on the bed at ten o'clock, I thought about having to pay more than 10,000 yuan every month. If you have to pay the monthly payment, you will get up immediately to study or work, for fear that one day you will fall behind and be eliminated and lose your job.
When many people have no motivation to work, it is because they have not yet found the "point" that makes you feel a sense of crisis.
When you foresee that you are about to turn into a cooked frog, why don’t you turn yourself into a fast horse with a strong whip and hooves?
9. Famous quotes from ancestors.
There are basically two types of famous quotes.
One is to use it directly. Such as "Only when you can endure loneliness can you enjoy glory"; "Too little reading, too many ideas"; "You can make mistakes in life, but you cannot miss it"; "Be the master of time, the master of fate, and the helmsman of the soul." "; "Those who are determined will set long-term ambitions, and those who have no ambitions will always be determined" and so on.
There is another type that is popular nowadays, that is, modification. Such as "If you don't work hard when you are young, you will spend your whole life in the mainland." Although the change is inappropriate, it is still humorous. There are a lot of famous quotes about these changes on the Internet, so I won’t go into details here. Of course, you also need to use your own talent to modify them yourself. You might as well learn to modify two of them yourself.
In addition, some people say that they should put some photos of beautiful women, famous cars, and mansions on their computer desktop to use them as goals to continuously motivate themselves. I think it has some effect, so I might as well give it a try.
Formula: Success = work passion * work ability. When work passion is negative, no matter how strong the work ability is, success will lead to failure. I hope that the nine tips I mentioned above can provide some positive energy to all my friends, especially those who are starting a business.
