"If you focus on studying instead of having fun, I don't believe you can learn well." Wise words from parents.
What the parents said is not unreasonable. Presumably, many people have had this doubt: Why are they willing to spend time playing games and playing cards, but cannot calm down to read a book or complete a task, which is also labor that consumes physical and mental energy?
Because we are not focused enough and have many interests, we cannot focus on one thing. Of course, this is also a common problem among young people today.
Try to "change your mentality and make yourself fall in love with work". Only in this way will you find dramatic changes happening around you. Mr. Kazuo Inamori’s attitude and approach to his work are the best proof.
1. Mentality determines everything
As mentioned in the previous article, Mr. Inamori was extremely reluctant when he first arrived at Shofu Industrial, facing work that was contrary to his major alone. , he could neither get the guidance of his seniors nor be able to display his professional talents. He also thought about escaping, changing jobs, or resigning.
However, due to the obstruction of his family and his own conditions, he had to "suck it up".
During those frustrating days, his world view was sublimated to a new level - since he couldn't change his current job, he accepted it happily.
In the process of getting used to the work, the initial boredom changed to falling in love with the work, and I realized the meaning of the work.
This was destined to be a good start in his life.
2. "Be obsessed with work", a good start
Mr. Inamori used the metaphor of lovers who are obsessed with each other in love to describe his love for work. This loving attitude makes He was able to endure both mental and physical pressure that ordinary people could not understand.
When looking for a job, we often look for a job from our own perspective, but forget that the probability of a person finding a job that satisfies him is almost 0. In this case, why should I be obsessed with it? Here it is.
Instead of looking for a job you like, it is better to like the job you already have. It is better to be down-to-earth and start from the present than to waste such a big time.
Of course, if you find or become "obsessed" with your job, your inner strength will burst out. With strength comes results and praise from others. Create a positive and virtuous cycle.
Work is always boring, so each of us must learn to create some small fun when facing work. This is what Mr. Inamori meant by "touching".
Mr. Inamori always has an attitude of "taking pleasure in hardship" when it comes to work. He also emphasized that "it is difficult to persevere if you just endure hardship and stand hard work without happiness." ".
In the second year after Mr. Inamori joined the company, a "cold" Kyoto prestigious high school graduate served as his research assistant. On weekdays, Mr. Inamori would jump up with excitement because the experimental data were consistent with his conjecture, while his assistant always stood aside "rationally and coldly" and even said something that made Mr. Inamori say something behind his back. Liang's words:
In short, the two people have different outlooks on life, which may be the reason why the assistant resigned and left the company.
But for Mr. Inamori, the joy brought by every small success must be truly expressed. Only in this way can he move towards success step by step in a boring and severe environment. , thereby achieving your goals.
⒋Feel the work and listen to its voice
People often treat "work" and "self" separately.
But Mr. Inamori mentioned in this book that the distance between "work" and "self" should be eliminated, and we must realize that "you are your work, and your work is yourself" (this is not to force yourself to Become a "workaholic"), but let yourself invest more emotions in your work and grasp the essentials of your work.
When making the "water-cooled composite water pipe", in order to better observe the condition of the water pipes, Mr. Inamori once slept with the water pipes that smelled like earth as if he were caring for his own children. This is common sense. Unimaginable and unacceptable.
He regards every product as his own child, full of love, listening to their voices attentively, discovering the overall and detailed problems and defects of the product, so as to achieve "a higher level" promote.
⒌To become a "spontaneous combustion" person, you must also be a "whirlpool center"
If you want to achieve a certain career, the prerequisite is to become a "spontaneous combustion" person. However, loving work , and having long-term goals are the prerequisites for becoming a "spontaneous combustion" person.
Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must always reflect on yourself - "Have you loved your job today?"; at the same time, handle everything with a humble attitude and never be greedy for temporary gains. And break long-term plans.
Work is never a person’s business. It is difficult to accomplish one thing alone. Only teamwork can promote the smooth progress of work. This requires us to become the "whirlpool center" and actively envelop the colleagues around us. Come in, this is the so-called "when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise", so we must be brave enough to take on the role of "leader".
