Be a person who digs wells, not just carries water.
Author: Insight Leyla
After the Spring Festival holiday, there was a sense of grievance in the circle of friends who didn't want to go to work.
Just two days ago, a friend of mine complained to me:
I really don't want to go to work, and it's boring to get paid so little. I'm tired and tired every day, but I'm just working for my boss. ”
He has been in the company for several years, drawing, designing, and docking with customers, and he is not left behind.
But the salary was always only five or six thousand.
Faced with the same income for many years, my friend has always been disgruntled.
But I know that this friend is not really interested in work.
Every time the leader arranged for him to design and compose, he was perfunctory;
Daily work is mixed with all kinds of fishing**, and the company arranges business trips to try its best to shirk.
Although he has been in the company for many years, his ability has been stagnant, and his motivation is not as good as that of the new young people.
So in the end, only the length of service was raised, but the salary was not raised.
reminds me of Li Xiaolai writing in "The Road to Wealth and Freedom":
If you want to upgrade your life business model, you have to be a person who works for yourself.
If you always have the mentality of working for others, then every move at work will make you extremely tired.
Learn to work for yourself, in order to win a brilliant future for yourself through unremitting efforts.
In fact, people like my friend are not uncommon in life.
They uphold the concept that I will contribute as much as the boss pays.
If you want me to do more, the boss has to raise my salary first.
If the boss doesn't raise his salary, then I will choose to paddle and fish to get by.
This behavior sounds reasonable, but it is actually very short-sighted.
Because of the wasted time of grinding foreign workers, he can neither get the salary he wants, nor increase his due ability, and he will suffer in the end.
*People @ Gu Hongyi told a story.
When he was young, he worked in a design company, and his daily life was very hard.
At that time, he was in the same group, and there was a colleague named Lao Liu.
Whenever Gu Hongyi was busy with work, Lao Liu was fishing in troubled waters.
When the superior arranges the task, he will go to the design ** to copy the ready-made template and complete the task easily.
Gu Hongyi saw it and couldn't help but ask him: Can the things you do this are good?
Lao Liu pouted: Of course it's not good, but the boss just gives such a salary.
At the end of the year, everyone was in a hurry to work overtime to catch up with the project, but Lao Liu always left at the end of the day.
Gu Hongyi asked him again: Aren't you afraid that the project will not be completed?
Lao Liu is confident: What does it matter to me if the project is not completed? I'm here to work, not to work hard.
Later, the company closed down due to the epidemic, and colleagues changed jobs one after another.
Everyone got a higher salary because of their outstanding ability.
Only Lao Liu's strength has declined sharply in the long-term laziness, and he has tried to find a new job many times, but he has hit a wall due to lack of ability.
That's the reality.
When the year is good, you mess around, and life turns a blind eye to you;
When the year is bad, you are still fishing in troubled waters, it is difficult not to be the first choice for social elimination.
You must know that in the mixed workplace, you are not only creating income for your boss, but also contributing to yourself.
The boss uses his salary in exchange for your short-term benefits; But you earn your boss's salary, but you create your own long-term value.
The skills you have learned, the experience you have accumulated, and the reputation you have established ......It will always be your confidence.
Even if the current environment can't make you get a salary increase, the skills you cultivate will definitely allow you to change your salary to a place where you can get a salary increase.
Always remember: your own ability is your lifelong weight.
Wu Zhihong told a story.
There was an apple tree that bore 10 fruits in the first year, and 9 of them were plucked.
The apple tree felt aggrieved and simply grew several less.
The next year it bears 5 fruits, and in the end only 1 remains.
It thought, "If the result is the same when you grow up desperately and grow up casually, then why bother so hard?" ”
So it cut off its own meridians and never grew any more fruits, and was eventually ruthlessly cut down.
But it forgets that if it works hard, it can get 500 or even thousands of them in the third and fourth years.
What people are most afraid of is that they only focus on the immediate gains and losses, but ignore the long-term development.
If you can change your mindset and try to do things for yourself, the outcome will be very different.
Writer Liu Tong worked at a TV station after graduation, and nearly ten graduates joined the company with him.
At that time, Liu Tong was busy every day, shooting, writing plans, and often working overtime until late at night, working more than 15 hours.
But everyone else is doing things differently, working no more than six hours a day.
Liu Tong felt very unfair and complained to his friends: "Everyone gets the same salary, why am I working hard?" ”
When my friend heard this, he said, "It's wrong to think so, in fact, there are only so many jobs, and you are in a competitive relationship."
The more you do, the more exercise you get, and the more experience and growth you will eventually gain. ”
's words woke up the confused Liu Tong.
So he no longer cares about doing more and less, but focuses on his work.
A few years later, while those colleagues were still in the same place during the same period, Liu Tong grew step by step to become the company's vice president.
I think of a saying: "The road to success is not crowded, because the vast majority of people choose comfort." ”
If you want everything and only lazily complain, you won't get anything.
There is no job that does not require hard work and is paid well;
There is no life that can rise without hard work.
When you are dissatisfied with the status quo and tired of your work, you should ask yourself
Who exactly am I working for?
You have to understand that everything you are giving now is not for the company, the boss, but for yourself.
Your hard work will not only earn you a salary, but more importantly, it will teach you experience, knowledge, and give you value.
All the hard work, in the final analysis, is to save capital for your future and help you go all the way.
There is a line in the TV series "Women Are Not Strong, Heaven Will Not Tolerate":
To get a salary of 2,000 yuan, you must have a style of 10,000 yuan.
If you plan to do things with money, then you will be working for people all your life and have no daylight.
Smart people will do their work to the extreme, so that their own value is magnified tenfold or hundredfold.
When Rockefeller was young, he worked for an oil company.
At that time, he had neither education nor experience, so he had to be assigned to check whether the oil tank caps were properly welded.
It's the most boring and lowest-paying job in the entire company.
The content is to watch the flux drip off automatically, rotate along the lid of the can, and then watch the welded lid be sent away by the conveyor belt.
His colleagues in the same group always disliked the low pay and worthlessness of the job, so they sighed and perfunctory all day long.
But Rockefeller was different.
Every day, he carefully checks the welding process and carefully studies the drip rate and amount of the flux.
After a period of observation, he found that after welding a can lid, 39 drops of solder would be dropped.
After precise calculations, only 38 drops of flux are actually needed to completely weld the can lid.
So Rockefeller spent a lot of time testing and experimenting every day, and finally developed the "38 drop" welding machine.
Saving a single drop of flux on a single can lid can save the company $50,000 a year.
The young Rockefeller took the first steps towards success.
This is how the gap between people and people is widened:
If you take a salary of two thousand dollars and only do things of equal value, then you will always be worth only two thousand dollars;
But if you take a salary of 2,000 and do something for 10,000 yuan, then your ability will increase by leaps and bounds, and your value will rise.
The key to determining your fate is whether you are willing to pay with your heart.
When you know how to improve your ability and go all out in your work, you will be able to surpass others step by step, and finally achieve a counterattack in life.
It has been said that there are two kinds of people at work.
One kind of person is carrying water, and the other kind of person is digging wells.
Those who see their work as working for others are the ones who carry water;
And those who run their work as their own business are the ones who dig wells.
The former can quench a momentary thirst, but the latter can be exchanged for long-term survival.
Really excellent people are working hard with the spirit of "digging wells" and striving to make themselves worthy of a better life.
In this world, there is no low-hanging fruit, and the overtime work and tiredness are actually paving the way for the happiness of the rest of your life.
The Spring Festival holiday is over, take this opportunity to clean up your lazy mood and devote yourself to work.
When you are able to add value to yourself in your work, you will be able to create more possibilities in the new year.
