Second, we should pay attention to matching the comprehensive ability of individuals. There will be competition in any job today, and there will be first and second competition. If a person's performance is not at the top, but at the bottom and behind, naturally there is no happiness, and there can be no rich income. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze what your strengths are and what kind of professional abilities you have. Attention should also be paid to the distinction between ability and skill here. Because short-term vocational skills can help you find a job more easily, but in the long run, skills can be acquired through hard work. For example, whether a person has this ability to be sociable determines whether he can choose a job with a large number of people; Whether a person is patient and meticulous determines whether he can engage in the work that needs to be repeatedly checked and pondered, and slowly produce fine products. The "ability" here refers to the endowment of self-improvement and self-development through learning, not short-term professional ability. I have a junior, Xiao Hu, who is not sociable, but chose to be a training teacher in Shanghai. Every time I see him, I feel nervous when I talk to him, because his embarrassing state will also affect my mood, so that everything becomes awkward. In fact, he has no good interpersonal skills. He has been engaged in training for many years, and I haven't seen any good results. Another student, Xiao Zhang, works in a catering group. Although I have nothing to do with engineering and have no experience in this field, I have strong social skills. He is the president of the school student union. In the first half of this year, when I met him, I found that his work had achieved little. Not only have I made a lot of achievements in my work, but I have also made good use of various business relationships and set up my own small team and independent small company, which can be said to be thriving. Because he has the ability of organization and communication, he can do this job well. When choosing a career, each of us should carefully and comprehensively evaluate whether we have certain ability, and don't make a choice without our own personality ability.
Third, we should pay attention to studying the macro-environment of occupation. Different platforms have different proportions of pay and harvest. If you pay a little on the big platform, the spillover effect of the platform will make you get rich income. In a small platform, you have made great efforts and may not get good returns. During the Warring States Period, Li Si did an experiment when he was a warehouse manager in a small county. He caught the mouse in the toilet, locked it in the granary, and put it in the original granary of the toilet. Three days later, he came to check the experimental results and found that hamsters used to be "unable to eat, close to dogs and frightened", while toilet mice used to be "unable to eat millet, living under great care and not worried about people and dogs." In this situation, Reese couldn't help but have mixed feelings and said his first line on the historical stage of China: "The virtue of man is like a mouse, in his ear!" Reese understood a truth: "Where mice live, people choose land." After reaching this conclusion, Li Si chose to go to Xianyang for development and finally became the prime minister of Qin State. So this environment is different and the development is completely different. This inspires us that if there is a better platform, we should choose it. In fact, everyone's time and energy in a day are the same. Under the same physical conditions, everyone can work almost the same time. Even if you try hard, it is impossible to grow exponentially, but the platforms are exponentially different.
Fourth, we should pay attention to analyzing the social value of occupation. When Marx graduated from high school, he wrote the composition "Youth's Consideration in Choosing a Career", which passionately answered the ideals and values of life with beautiful language and iron logic. He said, "If we choose a career that can best work for human welfare, then this burden cannot overwhelm us, because it is dedicated to everyone; At that time, what we felt was not poverty, limitation and selfish pleasure. Our happiness will belong to millions of people, our cause will be unknown but exist forever, and noble people will cry in the face of our ashes. " In other words, it is necessary to "choose a career that can best work for human welfare." Why? If only one person works silently, even if he has millions of wealth, he may not be able to get deep happiness. Confucian culture is about reading and becoming famous, and becoming famous means getting social recognition. The highest level of Maslow's needs is self-realization and social value.
