In a person's life, work is something that each of us has to face all the time, whether we are government officials, successful entrepreneurs, university professors, company employees or farmers. If we want to make life more fulfilling, we must treat work with a happy heart. We have two choices for work, one is to "do the work you like" and the other is "to make yourself like the work." A person is relatively lucky to be able to do a job he likes. The probability of this is only one in ten, or even one percent. Most people still have to choose to "make themselves enjoy working."
Management guru Kazuo Inamori believes that "work is a kind of practice." By improving the mind, cultivating the soul, and self-improvement at work, we can provide value to customers and society and achieve self-realization. Work is a platform, and changing jobs means moving from one platform to another. What remains unchanged is practice at work. What kind of mentality you use to treat your work will determine what kind of mood you will receive. So we have to learn to enjoy our work as much as we enjoy wine and food.
The source of happiness at work is continuous self-satisfaction at work.
1. Satisfy material pursuits. There is nothing shameful about pursuing material things. In a commodity society, many things must be solved with money. Money is needed to maintain a basic living standard, money is needed for self-improvement, and money is also indispensable for supporting parents, raising children, providing relief to relatives and friends, and donating to disadvantaged groups and disaster-stricken people in society. Obtaining necessary material rewards through work is the most primitive joy of work. Of course, we cannot work for money, money is just an accessory to work.
2. Meet the needs of one’s own development. Through work, our ability to solve problems continues to improve, our horizons broaden, and our careers develop smoothly. If this company cannot meet our career planning needs, we can go to another company. Through a certain period of work, we will reach a certain height in ability, experience and position to meet our needs for self-development throughout our career.
3. Meet the needs of social attributes. Humans are social and social animals. Work can give us a sense of security and provide us with the means and tools to make a living; work can meet our social needs. Through work, we get to know many like-minded people, join different groups, and build rich network resources. At the same time, work can also provide We provide social status and dignity.
4. Satisfy self-actualization needs. A person's life is valuable only if he continues to contribute. If you dedicate yourself to work, you can gain a career, and bring value to society through your work, this kind of life will be meaningful.
Thank you for the invitation!
To live in the present, you must face everything with confidence and hope.
If you are depressed, anxious, and angry all day long, aren’t you making yourself unhappy?
Our happy life today is hard-won. It was obtained by countless revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. For us in the future, we can stand up, be the masters of our own country, and be happy. They sacrificed their lives heroically.
The Red Army soldiers at that time were all passionate young people in their teens and twenties. They climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands with no food. For the ideal and victory of the revolution, they endured hunger, ate weeds, and They wore belts, drank lake water and rainwater, endured untold hardships, and fought against the Kuomintang reactionaries. In such difficult times, what was the purpose of their persistence?
Isn’t it so that in the future, we will no longer be oppressed and persecuted, and we can live a good life and have a happy life?
Thinking about them, do we have any reason to be unhappy?
Looking at the current world situation, the bloody turmoil in the Middle East, the country has no peace, refugees are homeless, ruins are everywhere, and people are displaced.
Compared to them, we live such a happy life today, so why not work hard?
Then what reason is there for not cherishing today’s happy life and unhappy life?
Sorry for the late reply!
Hello! A famous person once said: Labor is man's first need! All happiness can be obtained in labor, and all worries can be eliminated in labor. This makes sense. First of all, from a material perspective, people need material foundation and economic strength to support their lives. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inseparable from material and economy. Everyone hopes to live a high-quality life. This is why It is even more inseparable from the backing of a strong material and economic foundation, and these require labor and creativity to obtain. Therefore, earning wealth through labor is undoubtedly joyful; secondly, throughout life, we hope to live a valuable life and make this life worthwhile. Therefore, labor and creation are the only ways to realize value. People must realize value in society through labor and creation and be recognized! Labor is divided into physical labor and mental labor. It assumes different responsibilities and creates different values ??at all levels of society. Workers are regardless of high or low, and labor is the most glorious. Finally, I end today’s question answer with a famous quote from Romain Rolland: “All the joy in life is the joy of creation. Love, genius, and action all come from this fire.”
What makes you enjoy your work is the sense of accomplishment it brings!
Kazuo Inamori once said that the meaning of life is to improve the mind and sharpen the soul.
Work is the best place to polish one’s heart. If you can find your own interests and combine your interests with work, you will exert great power and gain more happiness!
First of all, solve problems and gain happiness
Any job is to solve problems one by one. Every time you solve a problem, you will have a sense of accomplishment and happiness.
For example, the respondent is in training. Every time after giving a lecture, many students will send me private messages to tell me what they learned today. Seeing their progress and changes in thinking, I feel that I have solved the problem. Their confusion is very satisfying.
So I will work harder and design better courses. They will be more satisfied with the next class, and I will work harder to develop more advanced courses!
In a virtuous circle, the work becomes deeper and deeper, the sense of accomplishment becomes greater and greater, and of course the income becomes higher and higher! Work slowly turned into a career!
2. Put in the work and gain all-round benefits
We will encounter various problems at work, which are good opportunities for us to exercise our abilities.
For example, planning a party, writing an essay, or giving a speech. Some people will reject these, while others will welcome the challenge.
Every test is an opportunity to discover the unknown about yourself. When you challenge more and experience more things, you will find your own points of interest, you will fall in love with your interests, and then take them Be better!
In short, work is not static. When you work hard to improve your strength, your work content and worth will double, and you will slowly have the capital to do what you want to do.
Even if your current job is not satisfactory, you can use your spare time to prepare carefully for what you want to do, work part-time first, and then wait until the time is right to fully devote yourself to your interests. This way you will gain more happiness at work.
The reason why work makes people happy actually comes from your own inner world. If you feel fulfilled and rich, you will naturally feel happy.
First of all, because work is something that suits your own interests. Interest is the reason why we pay attention to everything. If you are interested in something, you will naturally feel that your time and energy are not at a disadvantage. Anyway, things that you are not interested in will always feel meaningless, let alone the question of whether you are happy or not. For example, there is a friend who likes to do charity work. Even if he spends the entire weekend doing things that have no financial reward, he is still very happy.
Second, regard work as a way to improve yourself. Ability is not something you can just talk about, but must be embodied in actual actions. Therefore, when you regard work as a process of constantly exercising yourself, you will naturally enjoy it. Like a friend of mine, it was painful when he started working, but as he remembered that all kinds of discomforts were to enhance his abilities, he would gradually accept and enjoy the process, and every time he overcomes a difficulty, he would regard it as his own. Through the process of promotion and upgrading, I gradually became very keen on facing any challenges at work.
In short, work itself is like anything we face, and we need to proactively find the point that makes us happy.
Hello, atypical study committee member, atypical answer.
The core of your question is "principle"
Then the atypical answer I provide is: the human needs model, which is Maslow's five-level need principle.
Then the happiness of your work comes from the following aspects:
The first level of happiness: happiness that meets psychological needs. The most basic satisfaction of work is to meet the most basic survival needs. After the work is done and you have money to eat, can you not be happy?
The second level of happiness: happiness that satisfies safety needs. If you perform well at work, you will think that you are relatively stable in the mid- to long-term and will not be fired casually. Nor will they rely on the weather and have a stable income like farmers in ancient times did. You have a stable source of income and a sense of security for a long time. Are you unhappy?
The third level of happiness: social needs. People need to have a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging is not only an animal instinct, but also a human characteristic. People need a sense of belonging to eliminate loneliness, loneliness and other unique human weaknesses. How can you not be happy if you are not alone or lonely?
The fourth level of happiness: respecting needs. Gain recognition and respect from others through your work. There will be great psychological satisfaction. You are praised by your leaders and respected by your colleagues every day. How can you not be happy?
The fifth level of happiness: the need for self-actualization. In life, you need to have a pursuit that is more important than your own life. People may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. This importance is not directly reflected in economic income.
Through your own work, you can realize your ambitions in life and come to this world in vain. How can you not be happy?
The Atypical Learning Committee wishes you to realize your life ambitions and obtain the deepest foundation through your work!
First of all, we must understand what work is for. No one will choose to work without purpose. For interest, for dreams, for life, for making money, etc., these are the purposes of our work. Understand our After setting the goal, isn’t it a happy thing to achieve what you want through your own efforts?
Most of us are working hard to live, especially young people. Nowadays, life pressure is relatively high. Buying a house, buying a car, getting married, and having children are all goals we strive for. Through our own efforts, we can achieve the goal of success. When these goals are achieved one by one, you must be happy at that moment. Maybe the job you are engaged in is boring. Think about it, every time you work hard, you are one step closer to the goal. Isn’t it a very happy thing? The boring work process is like a You are walking in the desert, and you are thirsty along the way. Through your unremitting efforts, you finally see the water. At that moment, all the crying and tiredness are not important. What is important is that you did not give up. The result came at that moment. You will definitely thank yourself for your hard work.
This does not mean that all jobs are boring. When choosing a job, you can choose the one you like more. If you are not interested in something, the results may be very bad. If you are full of interest, the results will be different. You will devote yourself more to it, which may help you achieve your goals faster.
Work is an indispensable part of life. It can enrich our lives and enhance our connections. At the same time, we can earn the money we want and let ourselves and our families live a better life.
I hope every effort will be rewarded, every job you like, and I wish you success in your work.
