Keep Acting in the Right Direction

Today’s theme: thinking against the trend

Tonight, to talk about the topic of growth against the trend, I am not here to make up stories for you, but I personally understand it, just like the stock market, a person cannot always fall, and may rise. The key is Someone keeps going up, and somebody keeps going down.

After the epidemic this year, the workplace has been obviously impacted, but the employment impact is short-term and controllable. From a long-term perspective, China’s economy still has great development potential, but the real problem lies in:

How to survive this difficult period in the workplace, and even prepare for prevention and control in the future, is the most critical.

Alibaba founder Jack Ma once said: When the weather is good, repair the roof frequently.

Be prepared as soon as possible, and stand out in the future to seize opportunities,

In my opinion, it must be these three types of people.

1.People who seize the opportunity to recognize the situation in time

Many times, the crisis is not without warning, but sometimes some people see it, and some people react too slowly.

Some people say that this year’s epidemic is a big test for the entire workplace.

Under the epidemic, everyone is saving themselves, but the reality is that everyone has a different outcome.

I know a yoga teacher before, and she pays great attention to maintaining the relationship with her clients. In addition to teaching yoga daily, she also specially organizes her teaching videos and uploads them to major short video platforms.

At the same time, I have been taking care of my personal account, sharing all kinds of contact yoga experience and asanas, with relevant instructions. During each festival, some preferential activities will be launched for users, which really brings the functions and effects of the new media to every inch.

This year the epidemic broke out, and other teachers were worried about not having customers come to their homes, and she started the online teaching model early. Not only did she not suffer much, but it solved the problem of many customers exercising at home. Less user attention and support.

She shared with me on WeChat:

“Because now there are many girls who are more resident, and they don’t want to go out. Now it’s more difficult to go out because of the severe epidemic, but they practice yoga.The demand is always there. This is an objective reality. As long as I solve this problem, I won’t worry about losing customers. “

Grasp the opportunity to recognize the situation in time is the best way for us to face the ever-changing workplace. This seemingly unremarkable case is just as useful to us in the workplace.

Liu Run, the founder of Runmi Consulting, wrote in the article:

Where is the gap between people?

It depends on whether to stand on the 1st floor, the 10th floor, or the 100th floor to see things.

Some people have worked their entire lives to look outside from the perspective of the first floor. All they see are details, something near them, quarrels in the city, and illegal parking.

Some people try their best to climb upwards and look outside from the perspective of the 10th floor, and they can gradually see parts of them, and outline connections emerge.

Some people are better than you and harder and harder than you. He climbed to the 100th floor to see the world. He saw the overall situation and began to appreciate the distribution of natural resources, the spirit of urban design, and the grandeur of overlooking the world.

Only by seizing the fleeting opportunities around you in time can you have the opportunity to go to higher floors and see farther places.

If you look further, you will know how to go further.

2.Persons who can fill the hole when they practice basic skills

Tell a story about a former colleague next to me:

After the outbreak, many friends started working remotely at home, and the company also arranged for him to work online, but he brought a computer to the entire department. Others either cited poor internet or lack of office conditions. As an excuse.

In short, gradually, everything was piled on him alone.

Perhaps you may think this buddy is a bit unlucky, filling in all the pits alone.

But in fact, he didn’t think so. After he completed the pre-planning and promotion of the entire department project by himself, after he resumed work in his city, he quickly jumped with this work experience and successful cases. To a long-awaited company, beforeThe time after that is no more than 2 months.

The other people in the original company department were all dumbfounded. Later, he wrote to me in private message:

“Don’t I know they don’t want to take care of the job at all?

Since they don’t do it, I’ll do it. The growth in the workplace is driven by yourself. If you don’t want to move, no one will push you.

You see that everyone has a part in this job, but they don’t want to move at all. Who can blame it? “

After the epidemic, the uncertainty in the workplace has been magnified even more, and those who can stand firm in the uncertainty are inseparable from the characteristics of “normally practicing basic skills and being able to fill holes in difficult times”< /p>

Ms. Liu Run once wrote an article on “Everyone is their own CEO”:

“Today, whether you like it or not, you are involved in the “era of unlimited responsibility.” Everyone is the CEO of his own “unlimited liability company” and bears all risks and rewards. You must run yourself like a company:

Build your own collaborative relationship, shape your own products and services, take care of your reputation, and focus on higher output. “

For ordinary people in the workplace, we usually do our job well in a down-to-earth manner, can decisively step forward and resist problems when something goes wrong, and learn to be responsible for the overall situation like a CEO.

Only in this way, when faced with a crisis, we can be unafraid, able to resist, and be able to do things, instead of looking for various reasons to shirk the burden.

Every boss has a scale in his heart, who should be left and who should go, rest assured, he knows better than us.

Then the question is, if you are the boss, would you give opportunities to those who do not work at critical moments and find reasons?

You won’t, and neither will the boss.

3.I am a resource person who will find resources< /h2>

inMany people in the workplace will talk about resources, but they rarely think that the best resource is themselves.

The workplace is a place to talk about “value exchange.” Why should others give you resources if you have no value?

Some time ago, I shared in the circle of friends that I made a new project, because of this project, many friends’ attention and support:

Anyone who took the initiative to help me promote the campaign;

Some people also ask me to be a sharing guest;

There are also those who take the initiative to find me for business cooperation;

Although the number of people is small and the scale is not large, I know that many of them are friends who have helped before, and some of them have cooperated with each other. Others give support out of personal affection, but think Thank you very much here.

Actually, the workplace is the main theme of your life and the main source of achievement, interpersonal relationship and wealth for most of us.

It was also during the period after the epidemic, this feeling became more and more profound in my heart.

Because most of us have to work for 30-40 years in our lives, and each working day spends more than half of our awake time on work-related matters. At this stage of life from 25 to 40, the workplace is especially important.

Taking the workplace seriously and learning how to manage workplace relationships is to take your life seriously.

To manage yourself with your heart, and to continuously improve your value and ability to maintain links with more people is itself a kind of career growth.

In the workplace under the influence of the epidemic this year, I found that it is more and more important to maintain flexibility and mobility, and to treat new things with an open mind.

In the past few years, I have seen many people who have been promoted rapidly in the workplace. They are not very smart people, on the contrary they are very hardworking people.

Some are good at observing the situation and grasping important opportunities;

Some people can win battles at critical moments through hard training;

Some intentionally manage self-value-added growth rapidly.

Many people understand the great harm of “workplace uncertainty”, but many people are wrong:

In the quiet time before the tsunami and the huge wave, I relaxed my vigilance, so that I finally could not see the crisis, or I saw it but didn’t escape.

Write at the end:

In fact, my biggest feeling about the impact of this epidemic is:

Get out of the comfort zone of the workplace as soon as possible and accept new challenges. You will find many things that excite yourself.

Even if you are only growing slowly, not promoting, you will also enrich your skills and broaden your horizons.

The key is to know when to act.

Being always acting in the right direction is the person in the workplace who has the most opportunity.
