"Time is the most unbiased, and it is 24 hours for anyone; But time is also the most private, not 24 hours for anyone. "
-Huxley, a famous British physicist
The certificate of certified public accountant is very difficult to test. Most of the people around me who take this certificate need to spend 3-5 years, and they also need a less busy job to ensure enough study time.
So, in my mind, people who can pass the CPA exam are mostly self-disciplined and intelligent, because they can understand those complicated formulas and principles. Then, people who can be certified public accountants must be more powerful.
But Sister Yan broke my stereotype of a certified public accountant teacher, and I realized that there are specialties in the technical field, and sometimes smart people will break a good hand in a certain field.
Sister Yan recently talked to me about the middle-aged crisis. There are old people and young people, and she can't make ends meet every month. She feels quite stressed. Last month, the child was ill in hospital, but he was not fully recovered. The mother-in-law who took care of the child was dizzy from time to time, and went to the hospital to check that the small 1 thousand was gone. She said that money now is really not money.
Sister Yan talked to us about her work before, so her status as a teacher of certified public accountants has always been a tall existence in our hearts. Unfortunately, it is true that you have excellent learning ability, and it is also true that you have no planning consciousness.
For so many years, Sister Yan has no other skills except a certificate. Because outspoken offended the leadership, let alone promoted to an official position. A few years ago, I still felt comfortable and didn't think there was any problem.
In recent years, I found myself gradually marginalized in the company. Others were promoted and raised, but I lingered in the same place. Recently, the leader also hinted that she would quit her job and go home to take care of the children as soon as she was old. Otherwise, if she had a certificate, she might have dismissed her long ago.
at the age of 35, she can't stand the toss any more. She regrets that she didn't set a goal at the beginning and let herself be in a daze for so many years, but in the end she will face the situation that she may be eliminated by the company at any time.
It reminds me of a passage in last year's Korean drama: "Leaders can only curse middle-aged people, because they dare not leave because they are old and young, and they can't scold young people. Young people really dare to give you a burden!"
Life is miserable, especially for middle-aged women.
There are not a few people in a similar situation to Sister Yan.
A 38-year-old treasure mother beside me told me that she once left a message to a professional blogger, saying that she was in a fog when she was in college, and she never thought about making plans for herself. She was addicted to romance novels all day, often skipping classes and failing all kinds of classes ...
... When she graduated, she became confused. In a panic, she followed her family's advice and went to a state-owned enterprise to work as a civil servant.
If time can go back, she will not spend it as before, so what if she regrets it now? There's no chance to go back and start over.
Many people may misunderstand life planning: Is planning really necessary? How many impetuous people can have reasonable plans for themselves? In case the goal of planning is not what you want, isn't it a white plan?
what is the significance of life planning?
in my opinion, planning is not to set a path for yourself at the beginning, but to set goals for yourself, so as to bring out hope, concentrate all energy and time, condense all actions around this hope and live a meaningful life.
It was a girl who was five years younger than me who first touched my life planning.
in middle school, she was a proper schoolmaster. But I failed in the college entrance examination and failed to enter a first-class prestigious school in China. Others felt sorry for the little girl, but they didn't care: "Nothing, starting from a second-rate prestigious school, we can reach the height of a first-class prestigious school."
As a freshman, the little girl won the highest scholarship in the school and became a man of the hour in many societies.
As a sophomore, it is more comfortable to continue to get scholarships and participate in various social activities.
In my junior year, I completed all the credits of my senior year ahead of schedule and applied for an internship in an online company, during which I began to prepare for the TOEFL test.
After three consecutive jumps in three years, everyone marveled at the little girl's lasting explosive power, but she said amazingly, "I really don't have any talent, and the reason why I have such a harvest depends on making a little career plan in advance."
It turns out that the little girl began to wonder how to go in the future from the day she entered the university. For college students, there are three ways out in the future: one is to study abroad, the other is to study at home, and the third is to get employment.
"Different choice directions directly determine different efforts during college.
If you want to study abroad, you should accumulate more social practical experience, study English well, pay more attention to and browse the information about studying abroad, compare and choose the schools and majors that suit you, and then make unremitting efforts around this goal;
If you want to go to graduate school in China, you should concentrate on studying professional knowledge, understand the professional direction and do more homework for preparing for graduate students.
If you want to get a job, while trying to master professional business knowledge, you must use your spare time to do more social practice, choose a company with a similar employment direction, and accumulate work experience and contacts for yourself ... "
Speaking of college planning, this 2-year-old girl Kan Kan talked about it, and I was completely bored.
at that moment when I was stupid, I couldn't help regretting infinitely-if I had the same IQ and strategy at the age of 2, would I be like this today?
The little girl positioned herself as studying abroad. According to this positioning, the four-year college course was spontaneously reduced to three years. Now she is working as an intern in an online company, and her English is excellent. When the TOEFL score comes out, she will start to apply for foreign universities.
in our mediocre minds, planning should come to an end here, right?
"No, the direction and place of employment after graduate school must be considered. People have no long-term worries, and there must be near worries. Isn't it idle to be idle? By the way, why not do something that gets twice the result with half the effort? "
Listening to the little girl's words, I think of myself in tears, and I often complain when my life doesn't improve. Compared with the little girl, if people like us who eat and sleep every day get along well, that's the real world's eyes open.
a planned life is called life, and a life without planning can only be called living.
Today's life is determined by the choices made three or five years ago, while three or five years' life is determined by today. But few people realize that we are creating the life for the next three or five years.
Therefore, planning needs to be done in advance, and summing up afterwards is called a review and memoir. Only by determining the direction and path in advance can we know which direction to work in the future. Instead of echoing the crowd and doing nothing in the torrent of life, I regret it like Yan Jie when I am near middle age.
actually, when writing this article, I also remembered my decision three years ago. Three years ago, as my passion and love for writing increased, I had to weigh the energy input between writing and work.
In the end, my passion for writing and sharing overcame my love for work. I want to make my future every day a state of absorption and learning, and I want my writing to be loved by more people.
So, I made a major decision, giving up my two-year working experience in the business field and turning to the brand promotion direction in the enterprise to accumulate from scratch.
in three years, my work has improved, my ability has been recognized, and I have a sense of accomplishment and increasing sideline income outside my work. The most important thing is that the continuous strengthening of writing thinking training allows me to input continuously and maintain the ability of continuous reading and information search.
This year, based on my love of life and food, I started my second WeChat WeChat official account-Spark for Taste.
record the joy and emotion of every delicious food I have eaten, and share all the good things I have encountered.
Ma Si Nuo, a famous psychologist, once said: The most beautiful fate and the most wonderful luck of mankind is to do what you love and get paid at the same time.
I think, as this sentence says, when you find such a combination, you will feel full, happy and peaceful when you get paid for doing what you like. And all this was brought about by a decision made three years ago.
The starting point of life is ourselves, and the end point is ourselves. No one can do it for us along the way. If we don't set a goal for ourselves at the beginning and work hard for it, then we will bear the possibility of a mediocre life in the future.
it is only a moment that determines a person's life and the whole destiny. If you don't take the time to figure out how to spend the next few decades, you will have to bear the consequences in the future: muddle through your life and feel at ease.
Life planning is not as useless as we think. A good life planning can help us give meaning to our work and life, and it can also help us get a steady stream of motivation.
A good life plan should not only consider the return of material wealth and the future direction, but also comprehensively consider one's future life and work from multiple angles and dimensions.
Psychologist Amy Wennisky said: People have three attitudes towards work-task, career and mission.
If you only regard work as a task and a means of making money, rather than as a way of self-growth and self-realization, you will feel like going to work every day.
once you regard your job as a mission, then the job itself is a goal, and you will enjoy and complete your self-realization and growth. This job is no longer a part-time job, but the value of life.
In fact, money, time and happiness are not mutually exclusive. They are all necessities of life. What we need to do is to find our mission first, and then give full play to our strength and devote ourselves to every moment. When your time is full of value, do you still need to worry about the result?
Always fulfill your promise to the future, and your dream will finally come true.
