Sailing on the vast sea, we are all looking forward to reaching the other side of happiness. But when the reef and the waves crash against the boat, should we keep going, or should we give up?
There is a famous saying that says, "What do you do when you come to a fork in the road in life and there are no signposts to guide you?"Try to live your own signpost. "Everyone's life path is different, and what we need to do is to try to find our own direction when we are confused.
Salary cuts are a real dilemma, and many industries and professions face such a dilemma. Mr. Wang originally worked for an Internet company with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. However, the company's performance was not good, and it was decided to lay off employees and reduce salaries. Mr. Wang faces a 50 percent pay cut. At this time, he received an invitation from a bank to offer a position with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan.
Mr. Wang was hesitant about this choice, fearing that the bank's work would be too intense and there was little room for advancement, and he was unsure whether he would be able to survive until retirement in the industry. Family and friends also have their own opinions, which makes Mr. Wang feel even more confused.
Some friends told Mr. Wang that the prospect of working in the bank is stable, the benefits are good, and the work is relatively easy, which is very suitable for him to spend leisurely in middle age. However, some friends said that they have worked in the bank for many years, but it is difficult to get the ideal career development, and the banking industry is not the promised land as imagined.
Mr. Wang thought carefully about his situation. He is a pragmatic person who values the immediate needs of life more. As the head of the family, he must take on the responsibilities of the family. Although the income provided by banks is lower than that of Internet companies, it is enough for Mr. Wang to make ends meet.
As a result, Mr. Wong chose to accept a job offer from a bank temporarily. He understands that no matter how the environment changes, he must do his job well and strive to perform well. He also spends his spare time learning Xi new skills to prepare for the future.
Mr. Wang does not see the bank as an end point, but as a temporary place to live. He thought that if he found that the gap between the promotion space and his expectations was too big in the bank, and it was completely inconsistent with his personal development plan, then he would consider other options and start again. But for now, we still have to seize the opportunity in front of us and turn it into a ladder for the follow-up.
Each of us has many choices and possibilities for our life path. The important thing is to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, believing that you have the ability to overcome difficulties and find the direction that suits you best. When we are confused, we must also learn to politely accept the opinions of others, but the final choice must be based on our own rational thinking.
The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, with hope, continue to move forward, and we will eventually reach the other side of our own happiness. On this road full of unknowns, some of the obstacles encountered may only be temporary. They don't determine our end, as long as we stay strong and positive, we will be able to get out of the situation and find the path to happiness.
Many successful lives have experienced confusion and difficult choices. When problems such as salary cuts and unemployment come, the first thing we need to do is to calm down, put aside temporary anxiety or panic, and objectively examine our own conditions and strengths. Secondly, it is necessary to actively obtain information and listen to the opinions of others, but maintain the ability to think independently and make the most rational decisions. Finally, once you have decided, you will do your best to do the work in front of you. At the same time, we must continue to enrich ourselves and strive to give ourselves more choices.
Each of us has infinite possibilities and deserves to live a meaningful and rewarding life. Even if suffering comes, we must continue to work hard and continue to struggle. Believe in yourself, believe in life, and we will eventually reach the other side of happiness with joy.
