Facing 2024, start bravely again!
In 2023, the tide of the times is rushing forward, enveloping us forward, for you who are up and down in the wave, how will 2023 be summarized?
There are many kinds of difficulties, but "what can't defeat us will eventually make us stronger"!"Steady, we can win"!
Yang Ming, born in the 80s: Middle-aged transformation to find the second curve of life
It is said that "forty is not confused", but the reality is that when people reach middle age, they often face new confusion and enter a new fork in the road of life. For Yang Ming, the representative of the post-80s generation - the director of the interior design studio, entering the age of 40 in 2023, the dilemma and key word is middle-aged transformation, and what he is facing is an adventure that requires courage and courage.
I used to design hardcover model houses in real estate, but in 2023, due to the overall impact of the real estate market, major design studios in the industry are facing performance pressure. For me, although I think that with hard work and a little more hard work, the studio's business volume can still be guaranteed to a certain extent, but the quality of the design and the time spent with my family will inevitably be further sacrificed. In the face of such a situation, I have to make a choice between seeking stability and 'holding on' first, or simply making up my mind and taking this opportunity to try to change tracks.
After a long examination, my final choice was to take this step bravely, with the mentality of "returning to zero", return to the starting line, and transform into an individual home decoration designer. The customer group, communication methods, and work models have been completely subverted, and my physical functions are not as good as when I was young, it doesn't matter, 40 years old is the new 20 years old, and my enthusiasm is still the same.
2023 is the year of career restart for me, and it is also the year of my return to my family. Transitioning to individual home design, my work rhythm has slowed down, I have more family time, design homes for others, and at the same time, I have also found my own fireworks.
Home is the best place to heal, no matter where I am or what kind of predicament I face, as long as I think of the family behind me, I am full of motivation and courage to move forward. ”
Ziyang after 90s: Inner game, cultivation and balance
The post-90s generation is a generation of self-consciousness awakening. Among them, some people returned to their hometowns to start a business, and achieved the legend of the science and technology village early, some left the big factory, and the young couple lived a poetic and pastoral life
Ziyang, the representative of the post-90s generation, is a fashion blogger full of personality, resilience and momentum, and an entrepreneur who needs "balance" everywhere.
The biggest stress for me is mainly from the balance between work and emotion. Times change quickly, and if you are not careful, you will be eliminated, should you return to your hometown town under pressure to get married and have children, or continue to stay and fight again while you are young?
Entrepreneurs are lonely. No one can fully understand your predicament, all seniors and friends can only tell you experience and advice, but there is no way to make decisions for you, you have to make your own decisions and take responsibility for your own decisions.
For me, 2023 is a mixture of anxiety and hope. Is there enough prospect for the development of a single-minded business?Am I strong enough?Is it irreplaceable?And even though I was more mature and successful than most of my peers, I was inevitably criticized for being unmarried, 30 unmarried, and prejudice followed.
Actually, my family didn't approve of my business at first, but when I really made up my mind to do it and worked very hard to do it, my family supported my decision. Although there are some differences in opinions, home for me is still a place where you can go back when you are tired, have a delicious meal when you are hungry, and turn around at any time. Mom and Dad, grandparents, and younger brothers, I always feel warm when they are there. So even if one day, I fail, I am not afraid, they are my eternal backing, so that I will always be full of courage to set off.
There are many questions that I still don't have answers to, but at the age of 30, I am fearless, looking for answers while walking, and setting off again, no matter where I am or where I am, I can shine. ”
Post-00s Xiaoyu: Let the ideal shine into reality and find the third choice that suits you
As a post-00s, they are often labeled as having a strong personality, doing what they want, and can't endure hardships, but they never want to be easily defined.
The post-00s Xiaoyu is a fresh graduate, who represents every ordinary newcomer in the workplace, and is also faced with the problem of making the ideal into reality.
I graduated in June this year, and the biggest change for me in 2023 is that I have gone from the ideal to the reality, from the ivory tower to the real workplace, I found that there is a big distance from Xi to formal work. There are so many people of our age on the internet who have achieved 'high salaries' and 'successes' that make us start with only one thing we want to think of 'soaring', but no one tells you that most of us are ordinary and ordinary at first.
Knowing myself correctly is the first lesson I learned in society, understanding what I really want and what I can do at this stage. Change jobs or stick to it, which one is a good start, may be a multiple-choice question without a definite answer, but while looking up at the starry sky, you must find a third choice that suits you. ”
The road ahead will not always be smooth. We look back on the past, just to awaken the inner force, anchor the direction we stick to, and set off bravely again. And home is always the light in everyone's heart.
Loving home is not only a personal vision, but also a good expectation of the enterprise. From 2010 to 2023, Red Star Macalline Loving Home Day has lasted for 14 years. This modern home love movement has changed from an initial event to a brand tradition that has lasted for many years, and finally became a phenomenal "festival" in China's home furnishing industry, injecting more humanistic feelings into China's home furnishing industry.
In 2023, we salute everyone who finds their place in the midst of changes and challenges.
People who are positive, optimistic, love life, persevere, and dedicated to their work.
In the face of the tide of the times, we have all made our own choices and shaped a different workplace answer.
In 2024, let's start again bravely for love and family!
