In the workplace, everyone is eager to grow and improve. But many times, when we are faced with work, we find ourselves in a dilemma: do we pursue short-term returns or focus on long-term development?In fact, the two are not contradictory, but complementary.
For project managers, they value the short-term returns of the project more because it is related to the performance of the company and the performance of the team. But as an employee, we can't just settle for that. We need to realize that every effort and dedication is not only to complete the task at hand, but also to accumulate experience and exercise ability.
Therefore, we should keep it this way: in the short term, we are working hard to reward the project manager and make the project run smoothly;But in the long run, what we really give back is ourselves. Because every overtime, every business trip, and every challenge are valuable assets in our careers. They not only allow us to improve our professional skills, but also allow us to exercise our teamwork and communication skills.
Working more doesn't mean we have to be a "workaholic", but we have to consciously look for opportunities to learn and grow. When we have more experience and ability, whether it is in the original company or choose to change jobs, we will have more capital and confidence. Because at this time, we are no longer a "screw" who can only execute orders, but a professional person with independent thinking and problem-solving skills.
Of course, we also need to recognize that different company cultures and work environments have different impacts on our growth. Some large companies, although the division of labor is clear and the process is standardized, may not give us much room to play. At this time, we need to cherish those opportunities that allow us to do more things, learn more, and strive to improve our abilities.
In short, every choice and effort in the workplace is for our long-term development. We can't just focus on the immediate returns and ignore the longer-term future. Only by constantly learning, accumulating, and challenging ourselves can we be invincible in the workplace and realize our career dreams.
