Li Xueqin: Didn't the actor know that he won the award in advance? Feng Xiaogang's soul asked rhetorically, Do you believe it?
As the morning sun shines through the curtains on my desk in my office, I sit in front of my computer and ponder common problems in the workplace. Recently, a conversation between actor Li Xueqin and director Feng Xiaogang caught my attention.
Li Xueqin is an acclaimed actress who once talked about winning awards in an interview. She said she never knew if she would win a prize, and she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep before each awards ceremony. Feng Xiaogang asked rhetorically in an interview: "Do you believe it?" ”
He believes that Li Xueqin actually knew that he would win the award a long time ago, but he was reluctant to admit it publicly out of humility.
This question sparked me thinking about the relationship between expectations and outcomes in the workplace. At work, we always expect to be recognized and recognized. We have worked hard and put a lot of time and effort into this. However, when the result is not what we wanted, can we face it as calmly as Li Xueqin?
At the company I work for, there is an annual contest where the best employees are awarded the title of "Star of the Year" every year.
This selection activity attracted the attention of employees, and everyone wanted to stand out. However, when the results are revealed, some people feel lost and frustrated that they didn't win the award.
I think back to last year's selection event, when I was also involved. I work very hard, do my duty, and hope to be recognized for my efforts. However, the end result was not as I would have liked, and I did not become the Star of the Year. When I heard the results, I was very disappointed and frustrated. I began to doubt my abilities and worth, and felt as if all my efforts had been in vain.
However, it was this experience that made me deeply reflect on my attitude. I started to think, why am I so obsessed with this outcome? Is it because I really need the affirmation of others to prove my worth? Or should I pay more attention to my own growth and progress?
I've realized that success in the workplace isn't just about winning awards or accolades. It is important that we focus on our inner growth and upliftment. We should work hard to learn and progress and constantly improve our skills and knowledge. We should focus on the quality and results of our own work, rather than being swayed by the evaluation of others.
Li Xueqin's words made me understand that even in a highly competitive industry like the entertainment industry, she can maintain a normal heart. She doesn't expect to win an award, but focuses on the performance and creative process of each role. Her success comes from love and dedication to her work, not just external recognition.
I decided to change my attitude. I'm no longer focusing on results, I'm more focused on process and growth. I began to see every project as an opportunity, an opportunity to learn and improve myself. I began to focus on the quality of my work and personal growth, rather than just focusing on external evaluations.
Gradually, I found that my work performance improved. I became more confident and more focused on my work instead of being distracted by outside voices. I've come to realize that true success comes from inner fulfillment and love for what I do.
It's human nature that everyone wants to be recognized and affirmed in the workplace. However, we must not allow this expectation to become a shackle that binds us. We should focus on our own growth and progress, pay attention to the process and quality of our work, and not be swayed by external evaluations.
The conversation between Li Xueqin and Feng Xiaogang made me understand that true success comes from inner satisfaction and love for work.
