There are more than ten days left in 2023, and while lamenting that time is like flowing water, we will also observe the phenomena around us. This year, some people have had a good life, some people have a bad life, some people have had ups and downs, and some people are dull. In the last month, I don't know if you have found it?There are already 5 anomalies in society, each of which makes people think deeply.
First, everyone is more health-conscious.
In the past, the elderly paid more attention to health, many elderly people did their best when they were young, worked hard, so that the whole family lived a good life, finally retired, will pay special attention to health, will insist on exercising every day, will practice healthy eating, however, now not only the elderly pay attention to health, middle-aged people are also more health-conscious than before.
Tell me a real-life example from your side.
One of our leaders, usually conscientious, very serious in doing things, from a small person to the leadership and management, has always been strict with herself, often working overtime, sometimes in order to work she will even stay up all night to write materials, and the next day will continue to work day shift. She is also very kind to her subordinates, and what she can do by herself will not be handed over to her subordinates, and she will not say a word when her subordinates are unhappy, she will do it herself, she is a person who would rather do more by herself and not make others uncomfortable.
We all think that she is really nice, she is very sincere and very good to everyone up and down. However, she is such a good person, but one day when the unit announced that an important meeting was going to be held, she suddenly asked for leave and did not come, and none of us knew what happened. On the third day, I learned that she had been hospitalized and was diagnosed with breast cancer and thyroid cancer.
Such a good person actually got cancer like this. This incident has a great impact on each of our hearts, and we are all thinking about whether it is worth it for us to be so busy every day, and whether we have to stay up all night to finish the work if we don't finish itWhat if you don't do it the next day?Can we slow down, don't demand perfection, lower our expectations, and maybe the happiness index will naturally rise?
As a result, there was a sudden wind of fitness among our colleagues. At first, a colleague began to check in and run in the circle of friends, running 5 kilometers every day, and later it became 10 kilometers, and her persistence was half a year, and then more and more people insisted on checking in every day.
I haven't flipped through the circle of friends for a long time, I flipped through it a few days ago, good guys, everyone checks in and works out in the circle of friends every day, there are running, there are skipping ropes, there are yoga, in short, everyone seems to be holding back a lot of energy, to compete with each other for good bodies. Maybe everyone understands in their hearts that after experiencing the epidemic, in fact, our greatest wealth is health, and without a healthy body, everything else is not to be talked about.
I silently looked at the record of going swimming every two days, and thought that I was the only one who insisted on exercising, but I didn't expect that everyone was exercisingEveryone is more health-conscious than ever before, and they all know to maintain a moderate amount of exercise to improve their immunity.
Everyone has also paid a lot more attention to the diet than before, and a few people who usually like to eat spicy food have a heavier taste, but now they have changed, and only eat lightMeat and vegetables are matched, and you have to eat some coarse grains every day. A colleague told meNow when I buy oil, salt, soy sauce, rice, noodles, snacks, etc., I have begun to learn to read the ingredient list.
Second, everyone's attitude towards life has changed.
With the rapid development of society, for a long time, people's pursuit of life has become more and more complex and utilitarian, the pursuit of material things, the pursuit of fame and fortune has become the main goal of many people, many people ignore the communication and companionship with family and friends, resulting in indifference and indifference in interpersonal relationships.
Recently, however, we have found that people's attitudes towards life have also changed a lot, and people have begun to pursue a simple, plain and stable life, and have begun to pay attention to the maintenance of family, friendship and affection. There is an increasing focus on personal growth and well-being. Young people, in particular, pursue self-fulfillment, pay attention to personal feelings, and strive to find balance and inner fulfillment. Everyone is looking for a sustainable and meaningful lifestyle.
Third, everyone's attitude towards work has also changed.
More and more people are starting to realize the importance of work-life balance. Work is no longer seen as the only priority, but more on fulfilling and enriching one's personal life. People are beginning to pursue better work schedules, reducing overtime and business trips in order to spend more time with family, friends, and personal hobbies.
People no longer only pursue the material rewards of work, but pay more attention to the meaning and value of work. We pursue meaningful work, which is no longer just a means to make money, but a way to achieve personal growth and self-fulfillment.
With the development of information technology, more and more people are pursuing flexible working methods, and they want to be able to arrange their work more freely in time and place to suit their individual needs. The trend of telecommuting, flexible working hours and free careers is also on the rise.
The balance between job satisfaction and benefits expectations has also shifted. While benefits are still important, more and more people are paying attention to factors such as the work environment, team culture, development opportunities, and more. They want to be recognized, grown, and fulfilled at work.
Fourth, everyone's consumption concept has changed.
People are demanding more and more from the quality of their products and services, and they are willing to pay higher prices for high-quality products, and pay more attention to the performance, durability and user experience of products. People are more inclined to buy well-designed and manufactured products for better quality and value.
Young people are starting to be reluctant to buy luxury goods, but prefer to buy **, choosing to buy domestic products instead of foreign brands. This reflects a shift in their consumption philosophy and some new values.
Young people are more pragmatic and value-oriented, and they recognise that it is an asset with the potential to preserve and appreciate in value and can be held as a long-term investment. In contrast, luxury goods may be a short-term consumer pleasure with no long-term value.
Young people's recognition and support for domestic brands and domestic products have increased. With the development of China's economy and the rise of domestic brands, more and more young people have begun to recognize and choose domestic products. They believe that domestic products have better cost performance and quality, and can also support the development of local enterprises. In contrast, foreign brands may be expensive and have no clear advantages in some areas, and young people are more willing to support local brands and express support and pride in domestic businesses.
Fifth, people's views on some emergencies have become more rational and objective.
People are no longer as blindly one-sided as before, but more rational and objective than before, no longer dominated by small essays, but have more of their own thinking. The popularization of the Internet and social networking has made it more convenient for people to obtain a variety of information and opinions, compared to the previous information can only be obtained through a limited number of channels, now people can understand the background of the event and all aspects of the view from multiple angles, so as to evaluate and judge more comprehensively.
The rapid spread of the Internet allows information to be delivered to the masses in near real-time, giving people more time to think and analyze rather than blindly following trends. People pay more attention to maintaining their ability to think and judge independently, pay more attention to their own values and principles, and are more inclined to think independently in the face of social events, rather than blindly following others.
Across December, the year is over, and it's time for the Lunar New Year, and many people will strive to go home to reunite with their families, whether they have money or not, going home for the New Year is an important emotional need. Returning home for the Chinese New Year has a special meaning for Chinese, it is a way to express love and longing for their families. On this special holiday, people can forget the hard work of the year and enjoy the joy and warmth of family reunion.
Let's go, let's get ready and go home for the New Year!
