Sun Maocai of "Qiao Family Courtyard" went from being poor to a beggar, and then defected to the Qiao family. He made a great contribution to the Qiao family's business and received corresponding rewards. However, because of his excessive desires, Big, unable to grasp his own weight, and unwilling to take on greater responsibilities. He takes everything the Qiao family has given him for granted. He is greedy for the merits of heaven and earth, thinking that he has made the Qiao family successful, and mistakes his platform for his ability. His selfish desires reached the extreme, and he was kicked out of Qiao's house. Later, Sun Maocai wanted to join the rival Qian family of the Qiao family. The shopkeeper of the Qian family said something very heartbreaking to Sun Maocai, leaving Sun speechless: "It is not you Sun Maocai who made the Qiao family, but the Qiao family's business made you Sun Maocai." Sun Maocai was severely criticized and fell into despair again.
Lü Meng, a famous official in Beijing in history, wrote a wonderful article "Ode to a Broken Kiln". The article reflected on his deep understanding of himself: "I used to live in Luoyang. I would go to the temple to eat vegetarian food during the day and go to the temple at night. In the cold cave, everyone said that I was humble because I had no chance. Now that I have entered the court and become an official, my official position has reached the highest level. , It’s not that I really have much ability, it’s just a matter of luck and location, that’s all.”
Two stories, two lives, two endings.
In reality, many white-collar workers have good opportunities to choose good platforms. Through various accidents and resources, they have achieved performance improvements or so-called achievements, and have realized personal value to varying degrees, so they are happy. , in a daze, mistaking chance for necessity, thinking that my own contribution is the greatest, that my ability is extraordinary, and that the company will never move on without me, and is immersed in the illusion that I am not the only one, bargaining, and pushing back. Four. Is this really the case? No one's power can surpass the platform. Everyone is just a member of the platform. A drop of water in the ocean. It is the platform that gives you the opportunity to display your abilities. Without the platform, you are nothing. I once saw a couplet like this: If you are allowed to do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can do it; if you are told not to do it, you can't do it, and you can't do it. Banner: You can't accept it!
A person's downhill journey begins with making two major mistakes. One is mistaking the platform for his ability, and the other is greedy for the merits of nature. Remember: it is the platform you are on that makes you who you are, and it can also make more of you. You are not unique. Please cherish your job opportunity.
