This is a story from a long time ago. He was born in a fisherman's family and lived by fishing for generations. /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, grandpa decided to take him out to sea.
In the depths of the sea, grandpa taught him how to steer, how to get off the net and how to identify fish according to the change of water color. Just as he was listening attentively, God suddenly changed his face. Wan Li was clear and calm just now. Now it's a storm and waves ... Grandpa immediately ordered: "Somebody, cut down the mast with an axe!" " Dare not neglect, he immediately grabbed an axe and cut down the mast with all his strength. The sea was calm again, and the grandparents and grandchildren paddled back with their hands.
He asked his grandfather inexplicably, "Why did you cut the mast?" Grandpa said: "Sailing boats depend on sails, sailing boats depend on masts, which means that a ship must rely on masts and sails to go fast." Why do we walk so slowly now? Because we have no masts and sails. " Grandpa paused and said, "However, because the mast stands high and the ship's center of gravity is unstable, it is even more dangerous to encounter a big storm." So, I asked you to cut off the mast just to lower the center of gravity and stabilize the ship. "
After that, he became the general manager of the shipbuilding company. However, there are two words on the wall of his office: "Put up the mast to do things, cut down the mast to be a man." He said it was his motto.
The enlightenment of this story is that we should be high-profile in doing things and low-key in being a man. Do things like a mast, aim high, summon up energy like a sail, dare to face all kinds of difficulties, ride the wind and waves, and forge ahead bravely. Be like a mast in a storm. Although I don't want to, I have to put it down, because only by lowering my center of gravity can I be safe.
Once upon a time, on the first day of work, the elders at home would tell them, "Be honest at work, do everything at work, talk less and do more. In this way, you can stay in the unit for a lifetime. " Seemingly outdated advice is still useful in today's workplace. People in the workplace must keep in mind: be low-key and be practical.
1, regardless of gains and losses, let the eyes go further.
Some people don't get along well with their colleagues because they care too much about their own gains and losses. After a long time, it will inevitably cause resentment among colleagues. An open-minded attitude towards life will win more popularity and goodwill for yourself, add personal charm and bring greater returns.
2. "Modesty" is a fine tradition of office interpersonal relationship.
At work, different opinions can bring more vitality and ideas to the company. But the way to make suggestions should be practical, modest and friendly. Emotional excitement is not desirable, fierce words are not desirable, and showing good everywhere is even more taboo. Modesty should be our primary attitude towards work. After all, there are some merits in different perspectives, but I think my suggestion is great. Simply emphasizing your own point of view and ignoring other people's ideas is an immature and irrational performance, which makes people feel self-righteous and disrespectful. Of course, interpersonal relationships will not get along well.
3. "Say less and do more" is an unchangeable truth.
Most newcomers in the workplace are good at words and like to express their unique views on things and people. However, such words and deeds do not reflect personality, but end in self-righteous, self-centered and naive evaluation. In fact, just entering a new environment and not fully understanding people and things, it is the wisest thing to say less, listen more and do more, and it can also win a steady impression for individuals.
4. Arm yourself with optimism and humor.
No matter what job you are engaged in, don't let yourself be discouraged, keep a healthy and optimistic attitude and make yourself humorous. Because optimism and humor can eliminate each other's hostility and create a relaxed and harmonious interpersonal atmosphere, work will become easier and easier.
The ancients warned us long ago: "All bets are off, but modest gains are made." If a person makes a big splash, he will be hit. A person who pursues perfection excessively will be criticized and criticized. Most people can sympathize with the weak, but they are hostile to those who are stronger than themselves.
People who can agree with down-to-earth work, but hate arrogant people, so the latter's interpersonal relationship is more tense, and naturally it is easy to cause resentment from others. There are many such situations in life. Therefore, we must be modest and prudent, down-to-earth, never arrogant, and never over-publicize.
Being low-key is a character, a gesture, a demeanor, a cultivation, a mind, a wisdom, a strategy and a philosophy.
