People's hearts are separated from the belly, and they don't know inside and outside.

I've seen such a cartoon:

On the flat road, there is a man running fast.

He was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment to run to the finish line.

Everyone around him cheered and applauded.

Just when he was overjoyed, thinking that he was about to reach his destination, he fell heavily into the pit.

At this time, the applause of the people around him turned into merciless ridicule.

It turned out that under the seemingly flat road, there was a hidden trap, but he didn't know it.

In the workplace, we actually have a similar experience.

Sometimes you think your work is going well, but behind it is full of crises.

Mark Twain once said, "It is not ignorance that gets us into trouble, but false assertions that seem right." ”

In a complex workplace, the most fearful thing is that you fall into an imperceptible trap without knowing it.

What is a part-time job trap?

As much as the boss gives, he will make as much effort; The boss didn't give much money, so he lay down and fished. ”

If you do a little more work, you will feel that you have suffered a loss, and if you take a little less money, you will be indignant. ”

It sounds natural, but it's actually very short-sighted.

Because when you do things with the mentality of working for others, what is actually imprisoned is your own growth.

*People @ Gu Hongyi 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 plan 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.

Economist Xue Zhaofeng said: "Each of us is working for our resumes. ”

Many people are accustomed to seeing hard work as a loss, and fishing in troubled waters as taking advantage.

They think they are smart, but they are actually the stupidest.

Because of the wasted time of grinding foreign workers, he could not get the salary he wanted, nor did he have the ability to increase himself.

If the boss gives less money, the work will not be good; If the work is not good, the salary will be lower, and the result will be an infinite vicious circle.

Really smart people know how to improve themselves in their work and strive to be the best in everything.

They will not be deceived by the small profits in front of them, but pay more attention to long-term development.

In this way, we can break through our own abilities and finally usher in a double turn in our career and life.

Kazuo Inamori said, "Most people may have too superficial understanding of what it means to endure hardship.

Enduring hardship is not the ability to endure poverty, but the ability to focus on a certain goal for a long time.

It is essentially a self-control, self-control, persistence, and the ability to think deeply. ”

It's a pity that many people don't understand this truth and fall into the "hardship trap".

In Warren Buffett's company, there was once such a young man.

He worked day in and day out, working very hard from morning till night.

After work, I will spend another 3 hours driving to subsidize the family.

On weekends, he would sacrifice his rest time to do various hourly jobs, and when night fell, he dragged his tired body off work.

The next morning, he got up early and went to the company to continue working.

However, despite his best efforts, his life did not improve substantially.

Warren Buffett heard about this and pointed out sharply:

The problem with this man is that he only knows how to work blindly, but he doesn't think about how to improve his productivity and skills.

Sociologist Kahneman once said:

Repetitive and endless busyness for a long time, most people can do it, but the hard thing is thinking. Without deep thinking, diligence is meaningless.

If you are busy with low-threshold work every day, it will be difficult to escape from the cage of poverty if you are tired to death.

If you want to really change your fate, you need to have enough patience to study and endure loneliness and **.

Take the initiative to improve and change, and decisively abandon ineffective efforts, and new possibilities will emerge in the future.

The host Bai Yansong said: "Let a dog be on CCTV every day, and it may become a famous dog."

But leaving the stage of CCTV, it will not be long before it will become the original earth dog again. ”

In fact, people are not like this, many times, others do not respect you yourself, but the platform behind you.

The writer Wen Yi told the story of his friend Du Ge.

Du Ge was a cadre in a public institution before, and he held a lot of power in his hands.

Many people will give him gifts openly and secretly, hoping that he can help solve the problem;

There are also people who are keen to send out invitations to Dugo for events, hoping that he can add face to himself.

Later, Du Ge accidentally fell out with the leader and submitted his resignation application in anger.

Unexpectedly, after resigning, those who used to be attached to him have changed their faces at this moment.

Even when he whispered and asked someone to help him find a job, the other party turned a blind eye indifferently.

Du Ge said with emotion that he thought he was so powerful, but after leaving the platform, he saw clearly how many pounds and taels he had.

There's a good saying:

If you have wealth, others worship only your wealth, not you;

If you have power, others worship only your power, not you.

When all this is past the expiration date, you will see the heat and coldness of the world. ”

The greatest stupidity of man is to mistake the aura for his ability.

Smart people should understand that what they have and what the platform gives are two different things.

Therefore, don't take advantage of the platform at any time.

When you leave your position, you can still occupy a place in society with your own strength, which is the real ability.

I have read such a passage: Friends in elementary school, that is innocent, always sincere friendship;

Friends from middle school, that is the passion of classmates and teenagers to struggle together;

Friends in college, that's a half-sided relationship;

When they crossed the threshold of society, they involved too many interests and calculations between each other, and in the end they were only ruthless.

Adult friendships are all at a distance.

The most stupid thing is to treat a colleague as a friend and try to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

Writer Leng Ai shared the story of one of her readers.

The reader, who was in his 30s, joined the company on the same day as another female colleague.

They have been working together for four years, and they are very close on a daily basis.

During lunch breaks, the two often dine together, and often go shopping together on holidays.

Because the relationship between the two is very good, when she was on a trip, she couldn't help but spit on her supervisor to her colleagues and complained about a lot of supervisors.

But at the end of the vacation, the supervisor privately called her to the office, and she was scolded bloodily and almost lost her job.

It turned out that the female colleague actually told her what she said as it was, and even told the supervisor with added vinegar.

It's just that there is a vacancy in the department for the position of team leader, and her colleagues choose to sell her in order to please the leader.

The workplace is a small society, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons.

When you overestimate the relationship between yourself and your colleagues, it often ends up hurting.

Your unreserved will become a bargaining chip for others to use you;

Your honesty will become evidence that someone else has betrayed you.

As the old saying goes: the heart is separated from the belly, and the inside and outside do not know.

At any time, don't easily treat your colleagues as confidants.

After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is yourself who suffers in the end if you are too simple.

I've heard a saying:

In the workplace, there are those who are strong and those who are weak. But those who are strong do not necessarily mix well, and those who are poor do not necessarily mix badly. People who really mix well tend to be smart people.

To be a smart person in the workplace is not to steal and slip.

It's about knowing that it's time to get out of the trap of work.

Don't take the platform as a skill, don't treat colleagues as confidants, and concentrate all your energy to improve yourself, so as to usher in the counterattack of life.

The workplace is the dojo, and work is the practice.

Give it a thumbs up, be wary of these work traps, and may we all achieve positive results.
