After reading round after round of popular science stickers, I can finally distinguish the tangible virus vaccine. However, in the face of intangible spiritual "poison vaccine", can you recognize it?
In the workplace, people often tell us the experiences of people who have experienced it. These experiences are all wrapped in the coat of "for your own good", just like a dose of vaccine, but it is equally toxic and harmful if used wrongly. Today, let's analyze the "poison vaccine" of the mind that was planted on us, and let's see the tricks together!
1, "Don't lose at the starting point"
Many people try their best to improve the starting point in order not to lose at the starting point, as if they would win in the future. In fact, the differences between people make it difficult for them to have exactly the same starting point. It doesn't matter if you lose at the starting point. Some people with low academic qualifications can still be all-powerful in the workplace by tempering themselves in practical work. Life is like a marathon, it's not running ahead to win quickly, but depends on the explosive power of the midway and the finish line. Don't be obsessed with winning or losing at the starting point, better scenery is still on the way.
2. "As long as you work hard, you will succeed."
We are always taught that as long as we work hard, we will be rewarded and as long as we work hard, we will succeed. But in fact, if you choose the wrong direction and method, you will get twice the result with half the effort, or even have no effect at all. Just like Edison's famous saying, "Genius is 99% sweat, plus 1% inspiration", people use this sentence to encourage you to work hard. No one told you the second half of this sentence, "But that 1% inspiration is the most important thing, even more important than that 99% sweat." So, don't bury your head in hard work, look up at the road and think about what is the most suitable direction for you.
3. "A good employee should do what the boss tells him."
On the first day of work, parents will tell us: "Do as the boss says". It seems that the writing is very good, but such people are very unpopular with the boss, easily ignored by leaders and colleagues, and can not find a sense of belonging and identity in the workplace. People usually think that if you finish the work assigned by your boss, you have successfully completed your duties. However, in today's highly competitive workplace, it is far from enough to do one's duty. Only when you have high standards and do what the boss thinks and doesn't expect, the boss will look at you with special respect and opportunities will favor you more.
4. "Overtime is love and dedication."
"Giving always pays off" is the workplace creed that everyone believes in. To this end, Kai-fu Lee insisted on sleeping for three hours every day, and also competed with his colleagues on "Who can reply to emails in time in the early hours of the morning" ... and tried to make "despair" a label for himself. But this persistence at the expense of health is betting on your own life. When you don't get enough sleep, you will find that your analytical and thinking skills are also declining, and your work efficiency can be imagined. Love and respect for one's post should first complete the work with high quality and quantity, efficiently and quickly, instead of fighting fatigue.
5. "Attitude is everything"
Not enough attitude. A good attitude is just the beginning. To measure a person's work, we should not only look at attitude, but also look at actions and results. The quality of simple attitude can only explain a person's motivation to do things at most. There are many people who do bad things with good intentions in life. There are many factors that determine "everything", and attitude is only one of them. Don't just look at attitude and ignore others. Attitude can't be responsible for "everything", and its role is greatly exaggerated. As a result, people are encouraged to express their opinions one after another, and few people really do practical things.
6. "Since God has given talents, let them be employed!"
This sentence overemphasizes personal talent and ignores the efforts made the day after tomorrow. Even if you are a shining gold, when it is covered or buried by dust, the light will disappear immediately, and even look no different from ordinary stones. Glowing gold is not only of high purity, but also can meet people who know the goods. People like gold, don't think that they are not light, they will naturally get the favor of others, but have the courage to show their talents and let others see your value.
7. "It is useless to look good, the key is to look at the ability."
The problem with this poisonous vaccine is that it tells you not to pay attention to the outside. It is very important to have a beautiful mind. People with beautiful minds are more worthy of friendship than superficial people. However, when we are trying to discover the beautiful hearts of others, should we not care about our appearance at all? People in the workplace, dressed appropriately, can make leaders and partners feel pleasing to the eye, realize your attention to details and trust you more. Beauty is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible not to pay attention to the outside.
8. "Thank those who have hurt you"
Why thank the person who hurt you? This kind of "poison vaccine" is as full of self-abuse as the "good for evil" and "forbearing everything" that the older generation often taught us. We should not be grateful for injuries, let alone forgive those who hurt ourselves wantonly. We just need to sum up our experience from injuries and don't fall in the same place. Life is too short to bear the burden of past pain.
9. "Eat a small loss and take a big advantage."
When we were young, we were always taught "Don't mind losing money, because there will be great bargains waiting for you". But if the purpose of eating a small loss is based on taking a big advantage, then those who do so are some "scheming bitches". In life and work, blindly losing money or taking advantage is not worth advocating. Be patient when it is time to be patient, but patience that loses the bottom line is cowardice. Trying to take advantage of others everywhere is a sign of greed. The more greedy you are, the more desire you have, which will only make people feel disgusted and avoid it.
10, "Let's take a trip"
"The world is so big, I want to see it." This kind of free and easy is certainly enviable, but have you ever thought about the consequences of naked resignation? Unable to find a job for a long time, their self-confidence is damaged, and sometimes they are forced by the economy, so it is easy to choose to give up their psychological expectations and compromise. Therefore, many people in naked resignation will fall into an infinite cycle of "naked resignation-Vacancy-Compromise-naked resignation-Vacancy-Compromise". Naked resignation is at risk. Colleagues who plan to change jobs should be cautious. Don't act on impulse. Take a deep breath before making a decision and give your brain a buffer time.
These spiritual "poison vaccines" can be planted on us because we once believed them and never reflected on whether the truth applies to us. There is never a universal truth, even if the same truth is good advice for some people and arsenic poison for others. In order to distinguish the intangible virus vaccine, we must open the independent thinking mode and never believe what sounds "right". ▲
