It's a big deal! Li Meijin posted three articles in a row criticizing "Flowers" on the hot search, and the comment area has fallen!
As a newcomer to the workplace, I work hard every day to be recognized and improved. However, a recent article prompted me to think about my career. The article was published by a writer named Li Meijin, who directly criticized a controversial TV series, Flowers. As soon as this article was released, it immediately caused an uproar, not only on the hot search list, but also in the comment area.
Li Meijin's article pointed out that "Flowers" has serious problems in terms of plot setting and character building.
She criticized the heroine in the play for being too weak and dependent on men, far from the image of women in reality. She also pointed out that the lines and plot in the play lack authenticity and logic, and they are completely unable to resonate with the audience.
This article took the internet by storm and reminded me of my own experience in the workplace. I've had a similar problem with a project where I felt like my opinion was being ignored just because I was a newcomer. The project manager always preferred to listen to the advice of senior employees and did not say a word about my opinion. I felt worthless of my existence and even began to doubt my abilities.
Seeing Li Meijin speak out bravely, I began to reflect on the reason for my silence. Why can't I, like her, stick to my own point of view and criticize irrational arrangements and decisions? Maybe it's because I'm afraid that challenging authority will get me in trouble, or I'm afraid of being perceived as a difficult person to work with. But if I'm afraid to speak my mind, how can I gain respect and opportunity in the workplace?
Just as I was in a state of hesitation, an unexpected opportunity arose for me. I was assigned to a new project team that was led by a very influential senior manager.
The manager is known for his decisive and impartial decision-making, but also values the opinions and contributions of his employees. I feel very honored and at the same time feel pressured. If I can succeed in this project, it will be a big breakthrough in my career.
At the first meeting of the new project team, I mustered up the courage to present my opinion. I explained my ideas and suggestions in detail and I was well prepared for them. However, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense. Some senior employees began to express their doubts and objections to me. I felt depressed and thought I was being ignored again.
However, just as I was about to give up, the senior manager stepped up. He affirmed my point and made some additional comments. He believes that my proposal can bring innovation and competitiveness to the project. This manager not only gave me support and encouragement, but also involved me in the decision-making process. I felt valued and realized that if I dared to speak up, I could get opportunities.
As the project progressed, I gradually showed my talent and ability. I am no longer silent, but actively participate in discussions and decision-making. My views were respected and included in the project's implementation plan.
My self-confidence and abilities have improved, and I have started to become a key person in the team.
Thinking back to Li Meijin's article, I realized that the problems in the workplace are not limited to TV dramas like "Flowers". Whether it's in TV series or in reality, we all encounter all sorts of challenges and unfairness. The key, however, is how we confront these issues and speak out.
Through this experience, I learned a truth: only by daring to express one's own views and criticize irrational arrangements and decisions can one gain respect and opportunities. In the workplace, we need to stand up to our values and showcase our talents and abilities.
