Rise to the challenge with a positive attitude and learn Xi from the kitten's story
An old cat sees a kitten chasing its own tail and asks curiously: Why are you chasing your own tail?The kitten replied: I heard that the happiest thing for a cat is in the tail, so I chase it and once I catch my own tail I get happiness.
The old cat said: "Child, I once thought about the universe and thought that happiness is our tail. But I've now found that whenever I try to chase my tail, it always dodges and stays with me when I'm focused on doing my own thing.
In the same way, if you want to be understood and approved, the most effective way is not to crave and force everyone to understand and approve of you. As long as you believe in yourself and present yourself with a positive image and be the best version of yourself, you will naturally get a lot of understanding and praise.
1.Don't blindly pursue other people's standards. Kittens mistakenly believe that chasing their own tail is happiness, not realizing that everyone's definition of happiness is different. In the workplace, we should also define happiness according to our own values and goals, rather than blindly pursuing other people's expectations and standards.
2.Focus on your work. The old cat tells the kitten that chasing his own tail is futile and that he can only be happy by focusing on his career. Similarly, in the workplace, we should invest time and energy to focus and strive to do our job well, rather than dwelling on unnecessary pursuits.
3.Present yourself with a positive image. The old cat advises kittens to be understood and praised as long as they believe in themselves and behave in a positive image. In the workplace, we should also present ourselves with a positive attitude, professionalism and good interpersonal relationships, so that it is easier to be supported and recognized by others.
4.Don't force everyone's understanding and approval. Kitten wants everyone to understand and approve of him, but in fact this is impossible and unnecessary. In the workplace, we must also learn to accept the existence of different opinions and respect the choices of others. More importantly, we need to believe in our own worth and ability, and we don't need to rely on the approval of others to prove ourselves.
To sum up, this story reminds us to have our own goals and pursuits in the workplace, focus on our work, present a positive image, and not overly seek the understanding and praise of others, so that we can better develop ourselves and achieve success and happiness in the workplace.
