Two days ago, I saw a music variety show, and one of the songs ("Change Yourself") was sung by Liu Wei and Li Wenhan.
Let's talk about Liu Wei's experience.
Liu Wei was the champion of the 2005 My Type Me Show. Later, he also started his acting career. But such a starting point did not bring Liu Wei great popularity.
On the contrary, it was some variety shows he participated in in the follow-up that everyone knew about his humorous style. Now he often brings goods live broadcasts, so he has no choice but to change careers. But the stage has always been his favorite. After the song "Change Yourself", it entered the judges' comments. One of the judges gave Liu Wei some advice not to give up on his dreams, but to give up on something inconsequential (such as live streaming).
Liu Wei only replied a few words, but it was very heartfelt: I want to make money.
Later, Hu Yanbin said a paragraph that I particularly liked, he said that it is very important to make money, it is the ability to support himself and his family, and it doesn't matter if he sticks to his dream on this basis. This also reminds me of the recent incident of "Dong Mingzhu angrily reprimanding Meng Yutong".
Dong Mingzhu liked this little girl very much at first, so he recruited her as a secretary, but found that people couldn't even write an article, and scolded her for just wanting to use the Gree platform as an Internet celebrity.
Of course, Dong Yutong is a little ignorant, after all, his performance is not good-looking, and he has done some out-of-the-ordinary things, so it would be strange if he didn't anger the boss. It's just that Dong Mingzhu said that there is a sentence "Just thinking about making more money is no different from the walking dead, money should not be the dream of college students, money is the result of struggle." It attracted the opposition of many netizens. I'm against it too. Just like Liu Wei mentioned earlier, I want to make money, what dreams do I have if I can't support myself?We can look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
At the bottom are physiological needs, and finally self-actualization.
The college student has just graduated, and his body is empty, is he not rushing to make money, is he going to drink the northwest wind?
And the times are changing, and the national conditions are also changing. The era of Ma Yun, Yu Minhong, and Dong Mingzhu was indeed an era full of dreams, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, and it was sonorous to say. In this economic environment, everyone's feeling is that it is difficult to have a stable job, and it is a little bit to earn a little. I've also experienced PUA in the workplace. When I first joined the company as a home-schooling instructor from a stay-at-home mom. The company's leaders have been drawing pies. How will the company be in the future. Then, when we were given training, while asking us to work, they said to us, "You see, there is no such good thing as training for you for free." The next batch of instructors who came in have been doing things for free, but the company says it's a free opportunity for you to practice.
The leader also said, don't always think about money, saying that money is a bit blasphemous about the meaning of work, etc.
In fact, there is a complaint at the bottom. There are also many couples who quarrel over this matter.
Now we all know that if a stay-at-home mother wants to work (only working from home), no matter which platform she goes to, she needs to spend tens of thousands of yuan to learn various courses first, and then go through a lot of screening before she may have the opportunity to enter the platform.
Entering the platform may not be able to get a salary, not to mention no labor contract, and often being PUA, no matter how hard you try, you can't meet your expectations (this situation is very common). Making money is too important, I remember that a netizen used to say why he wanted to go to work at JD.com, it was for the salary, not for Liu Qiangdong.
There is no shame in acknowledging the importance of money, and there is no shame in working for it.
And making money and dreams do not conflict. Just like when we were instructors, everyone had a lot of enthusiasm to help others achieve themselves. But the needs of the bottom are not met, and there is no way to help others to achieve themselves, how can I nourish others?
Of course, from the leader's point of view, maybe they don't really have a PUA, they are just genuinely sharing some values with us. I'd say they probably aren't short of money. Therefore, in the workplace, we must beware of being PUA, use our 100% efforts, do what we want, and at the same time strive for the remuneration we deserve. In the end, you can still dream and move forward.
