Middle-aged people seek a secure position and income in the workplace, looking forward to working in their jobs until retirement and enjoying their old age. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer secure jobs that can support people for decades until they retire. The vast majority of "iron rice bowl", in a long career, have been cracked one day.

The probability of a mid-life crisis in the workplace is due to two reasons: lack of ability and lack of vision. If you don't have enough ability, you won't be able to cope with the new requirements of your job; and if you don't have the vision, you won't be able to catch up with the trend of the times.

1. Plan your career as early as possible

There are two general directions for career development: managers and experts. Whether you should choose to be a manager or a specialist depends on your work values.

After determining your career direction, what you need to do is to keep improving your professionalism. When you are an expert, you have to keep learning new techniques and try to innovate. When a manager, keep improving your communication skills, altruistic thinking and overall management skills.

2. Develop a second careerIf you have only one career in your life, then your career development trend must be like this.

One career is not enough to support you through 30, 40 years of career, people reach middle age, means to start downhill. Before that, you need to develop your second career.

Developing a second career gives you more possibilities for the future. You can't put all your eggs in one basket, and when you have other paths, you'll be much more resilient to risk.

3. Lifelong learning

Every middle-aged working person has more than 10 years of work experience, but unfortunately, part of the people only in the workplace in the first two years in the growth of the back are repetitive work.

To take the initiative to create space for learning, don't complain that you don't have time, this is the era of fragmentation, use all the time you can grab, make plans to improve yourself. Finally lifelong learning is also about making yourself open to being a student, stop being kidnapped by your seniority and take the initiative to learn from the young people around you about their strengths and advantages.

The so-called mid-life crisis is nothing more than those problems and anxieties that once plagued you, making a comeback in your 30s, 35s, 40s, and 45s, and becoming more and more ferocious while you are more and more powerless each time.

The solution to anxiety isn't to suppress it, it's to appease it. You have to find out where it's coming from in order to know where it's going. Face life's crises head on, move forward in them, and Xiao Lai will always be there for you, witnessing your efforts and growth.
