When I was new to the workplace, I was very concerned about what people thought of me.
I even think that my value is to be recognized at work.
If my boss or co-worker says I'm bad, I'll fall into deep self-doubt and be sad for days.
But after ten years of working, I slowly realized that work is far from being as important as I thought.
And what really matters, it's just outside of work.
If you are also stuck with work, then today's sharing may be able to help you
1.Work is only the means, life is the goal.
We work hard every day to have a better life and realize our dreams.
Outside of work, there are many good things waiting for us.
For example, eating with family and hanging out with friends.
And enjoy your time alone and do what you love.
These moments are the true meaning of life.
We work to make these moments possible.
So remember, work is important, but life is even more important.
We need to work to support our lives, not sacrifice them to work.
2.Learn to "separate topics".
"Topic separation" is a way to help us define responsibilities.
That is,I'm in charge of doing my thing well, and you're only in charge of getting your thing done.
If it's your job, you're all in.
If it's not your job, don't meddle.
And of course, don't let anyone else meddle in your work.
For example, if someone asks you for something, your task is to decide whether to accept the request or not, and then respond to what you want to do.
As for what they do with your response, that's their problem.
In this way, you will be more aware of your responsibilities and work more efficiently.
3.Don't pay too much attention to what your boss and colleagues say.
At work, the evaluation of the boss and colleagues is very important.
However, we cannot doubt ourselves because of their evaluations.
Sometimes, their comments may be unfair, or they just say it casually and it's not true.
We need to learn to distinguish between what is meant to help us and what is just their personal opinion.
We must not let these comments affect our mood, let alone our work.
Remember,Your worth is not determined by the evaluation of others, but by your own efforts and achievements.
4.Be brave enough to say "no".
At work, we are often faced with various requests.
Sometimes, these requests are beyond our purview.
If we say yes to everything, our own work will suffer.
Everyone's time and energy are limited, and we need to use them for the things that matter most.
So, you have to learn to say "no"!
Rejection does not mean that we are uncooperative or unfriendly, on the contrary, it can help us build respect for our time.
Remember, a reasonable refusal is an important way to protect yourself in the workplace.
5.Don't make friends with colleagues easily.
In the workplace, we need to cooperate with colleagues, but we need to be cautious when making friends.
Because there may be competition between colleagues, friends today may become rivals tomorrow.
If we get too close to our colleagues, we can hurt each other if we have a conflict of interest at work.
Friendship can make us feel difficult when making decisions at work because we don't want to hurt our friends.
Sometimes, colleagues may also approach us because of their work interests, and if the relationship breaks down, our secrets can be exploited.
Therefore, keeping a certain distance from colleagues can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Emerson said, "The joy of life depends on life itself, not on work or place." ”
May we all approach our work with the right mindsetTry hard but don't push too hard.
In addition to being busy, we must not forget to enjoy every moment of life and look for those little joys.
Because these little things that are easy to ignore are the essence of happiness.
