Recently, Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree Electric Appliances, talked about the concept of young people working in a public occasion, and she said bluntly: "Just thinking about making more money is no different from the walking dead, money should not be the dream of college students, money is the result of struggle." This remark sparked a wide discussion in all walks of life.
In this materially rich society, making money is undoubtedly an important purpose of work. It provides us with the security of life and meets our basic needs. However, Dong Mingzhu reminds us that if we only make money as the sole purpose of our work, then we may lose even more.
First, the excessive pursuit of money can cause us to lose sight of our interests and strengths. Blindly choosing a job in order to make money can put us in a difficult position for career development and even lead to unhappiness at work.
Second, working just for money can make us lose sight of the true value and meaning of work. Work is not only a means to make money, but also a platform to realize self-worth and improve ability. If we work only for pay, we may lose our enthusiasm and commitment to our work, which can affect our work performance and career development.
Dong Mingzhu's words are actually hoping that young people can have a broader vision and higher pursuit. While pursuing money, don't neglect your interests, strengths, and career plans. In addition to making money, there must be rules and bottom lines, and don't just consider immediate interests.
Of course, everyone has their own choices and pursuits. We cannot deny the reality that young people work part-time to make a living. However, this does not mean that we can only work to make money. While working part-time, we should also consider our own development space, promotion opportunities and how to improve ourselves.
In short, Dong Mingzhu's words remind us that although making money is one of the important purposes of work, it should not be the only pursuit of our work. While pursuing money, we should not forget our original intention, stick to the bottom line, and pursue higher career development and life value.
