What is an iron rice bowl? What's the difference between it and a non-iron rice bowl?
Personally, I think: the real meaning of the iron rice bowl is not to eat in one place for a lifetime, but to eat everywhere for a lifetime! The so-called "iron rice bowl", as the name implies, is made of iron, which is very hard and difficult to break. People usually extend their meaning to mean a good unit or department with stable work and worry-free income. For a long time, the "iron rice bowl" has been admired and pursued by people. If you win this bowl, you can have a good life and a happy life. If you can't hold this bowl, it means that you are displaced, living in poverty, and you will have no peace in your life. The thought of "iron rice bowl" is deeply rooted in China. Although the "iron rice bowl" has been impacted to some extent since the reform, it is still the ultimate goal pursued by quite a few people. Here, the "iron rice bowl" is immobile, which refers to a fixed job and a fixed post. To be exact, it is a good unit and a good department, and this unit or department seems to have never been worried about closing down. Therefore, once you win this bowl, you can rely on a tree like a second-generation parent, which is really a complete merit! It is clear at a glance that the rice bowl does not move, but people are moving, and everyone has to eat. Therefore, between "moving" and "not moving", there are many stories, which interpret several joys and sorrows year after year. Why do we all have to grab a fixed "iron rice bowl"? Furthermore, why should everyone hang from a tree? In fact, as long as we think about it carefully and change our minds, the problem of "more monks and fewer bowls" can be solved once and for all. Here, the "iron rice bowl" is in everyone's own hands. What is it? It goes without saying-it is a very high comprehensive quality, or a superb skill, in a word, it is strength. What is "strength"? In short, it is the ability to deal with something, which is the concentrated expression of a person's knowledge and comprehensive quality training. Once you have the strength, I'm afraid it can't be summarized by the word "iron". Let's just call it the "golden rice bowl". In today's increasingly fierce competition, there are fewer and fewer "iron rice bowls", and even the administrative government units and related departments known as the absolute "royal forces" are not what they used to be. Not to mention that the hardness of the "rice bowl" is getting smaller and smaller, and the size of the "rice bowl" is not optimistic. The noodles are even, and the company is set up in the garden, and the vortex is unloaded. When the new economy represented by the Internet and biotechnology has begun to show its edge, the competition in modern society has come down to the competition of knowledge, technology and talents. On the one hand, it is an unemployed and semi-unemployed army of nearly 200 million people, on the other hand, it is a serious shortage of high-tech and high-quality talents. Just as we are struggling for an "iron rice bowl", a new round of competition for talents in the world has quietly started, and the most intense place is the United States. The United States has taken the lead in the battle for talents in the world. From the US government to major companies, they are racking their brains to find talents from all over the world. According to the conservative estimation of the National Science Foundation of the United States, in the next two or three years, there will be a shortage of about 700,000 network talents in the United States, and there will be a "talent shortage" in major banks on Wall Street and Silicon Valley. The annual salary of six or seven figures has long lost its allure. Now, major bosses have to use stock options to attract talents. As the forefront of the world economy and science and technology, the United States is hungry for talents. Driven by the United States, a global talent war is intensifying. Not only Asian countries feel the pressure of brain drain, but Europe is also facing unprecedented challenges. In the year of 1999 alone, the number of Indian talents flowing to the United States reached 53,000, and that of Chinese mainland reached10.2 million. Developing countries will have to bear the huge pressure of brain drain for a long time. It seems that we don't have to worry about this "war" that seems far away from us, but in the increasingly fierce social competition around us, examples of knowledge changing fate have long been everywhere. The competition centered on professional knowledge and comprehensive quality has become the main content of talent competition. Talents who are proficient in a certain professional knowledge and have high comprehensive quality have become hot commodities in society. It is certain that "talent war" and "knowledge war" are actually very close to us. Faced with such a severe situation, I am afraid that how to keep your job has long been a problem that everyone has been thinking about for a long time. Is it to fight hard and win an "iron rice bowl" to live a carefree and calm life? Or catch up and create a "golden rice bowl"? After all, the "iron rice bowl" is limited, but the "golden rice bowl" is all in itself. As the saying goes, "It's never too late to mend!" As long as we start from now, catch up, strive to improve ourselves and enrich ourselves, so that our "golden rice bowl" will have higher and higher gold content and become harder and harder. After all, there are too few "iron rice bowls", and the "golden rice bowl" is the long-term solution and the foundation of competition.
