There is an old saying that "contentment is always happy", which means that you can be happy knowing that you have enough. Recently, a 32-year-old programmer complained on the forum that although his annual salary exceeded one million and his rank reached T11, he still felt very anxious and marginalized. This sparked heated discussions among netizens.
As a post-90s generation, this programmer is a typical "big soldier", who not only bears the test of work intensity, but also faces pressure from the management and the company. Looking at the annual salary and level alone, he already belongs to the high-income group, far exceeding the level of ordinary white-collar workers. However, the anxiety and restlessness in his heart still tormented him.
To analyze this phenomenon, we must first understand that people at different stages will have different needs. Employees who have just joined the company look forward to having a good platform to show themselves, employees who are rising are eager to achieve prosperity, and when a person's life is already rich, the inner focus will shift to a higher level of pursuit.
Second, we need to recognize that there are competitive pressures in any industry and company. This is especially true in the Internet industry, where new employees are constantly challenging veterans, which makes many employees feel marginalized. But we need to be at peace with this anxiety – first ask ourselves if we've really done our best. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand that enterprises must carry out talent upgrading, which is the inevitable law of the market economy, not for individuals.
Furthermore, we need to learn to be kind to others. Even if you feel that you are being used by the company, you should not complain. Because everyone has their own difficulties, what we can do is to stay humble and think more from the perspective of others. Colleagues should communicate more with each other, and management should also listen to feedback from employees on a regular basis to resolve misunderstandings and build mutual trust.
In fact, when a person has an annual salary of one million and a good rank, he is already in an advantageous position in life. We shouldn't be like the programmer who was anxious about our situation. On the contrary, cherish the present and enjoy the harvest of work.
First of all, be grateful for what you have and learn to be content. Remember, in this world, there are many more people who don't even have a stable job. Having a stage to display one's talents is a very precious blessing. Secondly, we must be proactive and strive to enrich ourselves. Anxiety is uncertain about the future, and only by constantly learning new knowledge can we always be competitive. Thirdly, we should strive to expand our network resources and make more friends with common hobbies. The connection between people can bring spiritual enrichment.
Finally, remember that life's list of good authors is not just about work and money. We also need to develop our hobbies, enjoy life and spend time with family and friends. The mere pursuit of a promotion and a salary increase is likely to lead to endless policing, which is very valuable. No matter how the external environment changes, inner peace is always the most important. Even if you feel like you're getting old, don't give up on confidence and courage. Because life is endless, as long as there is light in the heart, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed. Learn to reconcile with yourself and accept imperfections; Learn to be grateful and cherish what you have; Learn to give and give back to the world. Believe in yourself and keep going, and you will feel the meaning of life.
When we adjust our mindset, we can resolve our anxiety. Even in a competitive environment, you can maintain peace of mind. All external unsatisfactory problems are not the root of the problem, the root of which lies in our definition of happiness. By re-examining our purpose in life and putting our mindset right, we can find our true direction.
In the face of all kinds of anxiety, what we need to do is adjust our expectations. Because there is often anxiety about the high definition of success criteria. In fact, we don't have to force ourselves to become CEOs, we don't have to earn millions of dollars in salary. Learning is simple, plain, and you can live well.
You also need to learn to let go, and once you achieve your goals, calmly think about the next step instead of continuing to be anxious. We need a great experience on a journey, not a destination. The scenery on the road is the most exciting, and the process is the most important.
Life has its ups and downs, and it can't always be smooth sailing. Everyone must learn to be flexible and position themselves according to the environment and ability. At the same time, try to maintain a positive and cheerful attitude. In short, anxiety can be cured, there are many ways, as long as we make up our minds, we can slowly come out of the shadows and enjoy the beauty of life again.
