-Hulan, talk show convention
Do you feel anything? Why is the shelf life so short for both love and career? Are we "incapable of love" or are they unworthy of love?
According to the survey data released by Zhaopin in 20 18, more than half of the workers in the workplace will change jobs every three years, among which 19. 1% of white-collar workers said that they would change jobs once a year on average.
In fact, just "job-hopping" can no longer satisfy the young people of 202 1. At present, the popular life concept is "fire", that is, "economic dependence, early retirement". But unexpectedly, some "pioneers" who chose fire or freelancing have already lived a comfortable life envied by others, and a few years later, they actually returned to the workplace.
Great changes have taken place in the relationship between contemporary young people and their careers. On the one hand, the overworked working mode and the insecurity brought by the environment make people eager to get out of the cruel workplace life as soon as possible; On the other hand, the problems behind "going to work" and "not going to work" may be more complicated and cannot be solved once and for all by "fire". Maybe we should start thinking, "Can I still love a job?" "Can you insist on choosing this track?" .
Young people are often confused about the direction of work.
We interviewed two women who chose to walk on the runway. A 25-year-old is in the initial stage of her career, but she can feel her precocity and firmness from her plain speech; A 35-year-old woman hasn't changed jobs since she was 25. For ten years, she thought it was just a natural thing. They are not dazzling figures, with plain language and simple stories, but they show a calm and firm line-they can walk slowly on the track under their feet without running and looking around, so that we can hear the voice of "changers" in a society that is "seeking change".

25 years old: a girl who enjoys the darkness.
Because there is no shortcut, I can stand loneliness.
Zixiao is a post-95 girl who has just entered the society for two years. In the glamorous film industry, she studied radio and television as a director and had the opportunity to be a director or screenwriter, but she chose the less conspicuous part-the colorist.
Color matching is one of the last links in a film and television work. Good color matching can make the film exude a better texture, just like the color matching of Zi Xiao's favorite movie "Shadow", and the simple ink smudges, "not distracting, but also making people comfortable." Although there is not much room for color matching, this subtle change is one of the conditions to judge the quality of film texture. Zi Xiao likes and is good at making such subtle but important marks.

In addition, the color mixing nature that is less disturbed is also one of the reasons that attract her. She said: "It doesn't need to deal with people very much. Very quiet. "
Zi Xiao's first job was as a color matching assistant in a film company, which was the closest step to her ideal, but it cost a lot. The pressure of color matching itself is great, and Zixiao wants to improve her color matching ability as soon as possible, so she often works overtime until three or four in the morning. "I spend most of my time in a dark room, and there are no shortcuts in this industry. Only by making more adjustments can I make progress. " However, stress caused her emotional instability and her nerves were in a state of tension for a long time.
In addition to mental stress, survival pressure also follows. The income of this job is not high, and I need my mother's help for a long time. "After paying the rent, there is not much money left."
Zixiao rented the house for the first time
But she just persisted for a long time. On the one hand, because I like movies, "Which film and television person doesn't want to make movies?" Moreover, when she thought of two other color matching assistants in the same department who were older than herself and gave up their high-paying jobs to study color matching here, she felt that her difficulties were nothing.
Another reason is simple. Every time my mother finds her name in the rolling cast, she feels very happy. "I'm not with her, so it's good for her to know what I'm doing."
However, after two years of persistence, finally, Zixiao, who was exhausted physically and mentally, chose to change jobs, but she was still on a track, from film color matching to TV color matching.
Luffy in One Piece is free and brave, and is Zi Xiao's spiritual idol.
These two are two branches on the same orbit. There are similarities and differences in the basic concepts.
Movies are more willing to highlight the delicate texture of characters and pictures, while current TV dramas tend to have a unified aesthetic after filtering. In addition, the work cycle of film color matching is longer, and more attention is paid to the artistry of the works, so there is more room for color matching; However, the production time of TV series is tight, and the quality is often sacrificed in order to catch up with the progress, so the creative space for the colorist is not that big.
When asked if he was afraid of getting farther and farther away from the film and the conflict between career and ambition, Zixiao said that he accepted such a gap at first, but did not think it was necessarily a sacrifice. "There will be new challenges, such as how to persuade customers not to adjust colors that are not in line with the temperament of the film."
For Zixiao, the happiest thing recently is that,
When she came out of the color mixing room, she could see the sunset in the sky.
She has an industry idol and is an experienced colorist. It is said that it took her many years to advertise before she started to do film color matching, which gave her faint encouragement. "I still hope that I can go back to film color matching in the future and adjust the film myself. Although I don't know how to solve this problem now, I believe in time. "
In Zi Xiao's view, the real core part will not be worn out by the "shell" of the profession. Only by walking more and saving more energy can we support our career.

35 years old: mother, entrepreneur.
"I'm not demanding anything, it's just a natural thing."
If the 25-year-old is still in the vague stage of judging his career, then most people in the 35-year-old workplace have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of their career. At the same time, "35-year-old anxiety" is chasing people. It seems to be a watershed in your career, either you can successfully squeeze into the next stage or you are eliminated. But some people have found their own world outside the rules of this game.
Xiaoxiao, a 35-year-old mother with two children, is also the principal of a small language training school in Ningbo that has been running for ten years.
It seems that she has always acted on instinct and likes to "push the drum". Although she could go to the first-tier cities, she never looked out from the beginning. After graduation, she directly returned to her hometown of Ningbo. "I never thought about leaving Ningbo. I like it very much. I like the rhythm and people here. "
Just like when the university chose Spanish as her major, she never left this language in her life. It may be accidental for a person to choose a language as a major at first, but she has always been closely related to a language, so there must be an affinity between her and this language.
Xiaoxiao was in Catalonia Square in Madrid in 2009.
Xiaoxiao recalled that when she first arrived in Spain, she stood at a crossroads and was at a loss. A strange Spaniard led her all the way to her destination, which made her feel good about this country. Compared with other European countries, Spain is a country with a weak hierarchy. "In my circle of friends, there are cleaners and diplomats, and I don't like grades very much." She thinks that the internal character of Spaniards is very similar to that of rural China, not so refined, even a little rough, but she values family, is friendly to each other, and is relaxed and natural.
This national temperament is also reflected in the language itself. There are many "ei" sounds in Spanish pronunciation. "When you read' ei', your mouth is wide open, just like laughing. The pronunciation of Spanish is also very straightforward, which is very similar to the Spanish character. It is a language that makes people happy and teaches people happiness. " Mix said.
You can also see this straightforward and self-regulating character in Xiaoxiao. There was a lot of pressure at the beginning of school, and there was malicious competition because of the small place. A colleague went to the industrial and commercial bureau to sue her school. At that time, some partners who started a business together left, but she chose to insist. "I didn't come with a ticket mentality, either not doing it or doing it well." She is only 25 years old.
20 10 primary school officially opened as a souvenir.
Including during the epidemic, her optimistic "Spanish character" was once again reflected. Many teachers are worried about the class, but she doesn't care. It's her style to keep taking action instead of getting to the bottom of it. "In the most serious month, I led teachers to grind classes online every day to ensure that the quality of online and offline courses would not be too bad." She also bought masks and massage chairs for teachers to try to make them relax.
Xiaoxiao also hopes to pass on the happiness she experienced in Spanish to her students. "Teaching a language is not only to teach a tool, but also to teach them another way of looking at the world, so that their horizons can be broadened."
20 13 Xiaoxiao takes students to Madrid, Spain for summer study.
Of course, Xiaoxiao can't heal herself sometimes, especially after becoming a mother.
The influence of mother's identity on Xiaoxiao is two-sided. On the one hand, let her further explore the future of education and pay attention to children's education; On the other hand, it means that it is difficult to balance life and work. She admitted that she was often at a loss. "Whether it is life or work, there are trade-offs."
Xiaoxiao's children are still in a state of great need of their mothers, and they can't quite understand why their mothers often leave themselves. "My eldest son and I will be more like friends. I'll tell him I'm tired, and he'll say what he thinks and say,' Mom, I'm finished crying'. Although he is very young, he can support me. "
Mix teaches students outdoors.
Xiaoxiao's life track has always been like a process from the origin to the origin, from Ningbo to Ningbo, from Spanish to Spanish, and then these two origins overlap to form her career. She slowly drew a bigger circle around this point with a compass, without too many twists and turns, cleanly. "Around the center of this matter, doing more things slowly will make me feel at ease."
Every step of becoming a teacher and mother is dull and solid. As she said, "I don't think I'm sticking to anything. This is just a natural thing. "

In a society of "seeking change"
Do something "unchanged"
Zi Xiao and Mix, one may be simple and firm because the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers; One has begun to face some inevitable obstacles and remain optimistic in the storm. Their motivation comes from themselves, and their enthusiasm is more difficult to kill.
Many times, we will be attracted by a temporary craze, so that we look around at the crossroads of life and wander on the track. How to do something unchangeable in a changing society requires wisdom and perseverance. Li Xuelin, the founder of Hefu Noodles, is like this. He engaged in 3C retailing in his early years, and then set foot in catering industry. He seems to be a "change", but in this "change", there is actually his own "invariability". No matter which track he is on, he requires himself to be practical and clear-headed.

In the early days, Li Xuelin did a lot of research, inspected the catering markets all over the world, and hired consulting companies. This process consumes a lot of cost and time. Some people think it is not worth it, but he firmly believes that "starting a business is like drilling a well." The key is whether you are sure there is water below and there is enough water. If it is determined, then the rest is how to do it, and these inputs are necessary. "
