Inspirational articles in the workplace: finding fun at work
Your mood can't be influenced by work. Instead of being depressed, it is better to find some ways to adjust your mentality. Six psychological laws make your work full of fun!
Monroe's Law-Amplifying Dissatisfaction
The famous actress Marilyn Monroe once said, "If you can't accept my worst side, then you don't deserve my best side." The same is true of work.
If you were asked to grade your current job, I believe few people would give full marks. According to Monroe's Law, a job has both your satisfaction and your dissatisfaction. Salary, working environment, career development, interpersonal relationship and other factors. Will become the scoring standard of job satisfaction. The reason why people quit jobs is precisely because they have magnified their "dissatisfaction" with their work. Patrick Lansinho, an American career consultant, pointed out that in reality, there are far more people who are dissatisfied with their jobs than those who are satisfied. But in fact, job satisfaction has little to do with the job itself. A marketing manager with an annual salary of 250,000 may be dissatisfied with his job, and the waiters who serve him in the restaurant may have a sense of accomplishment.
So when you are dissatisfied with your job, you must first find out the root cause: it is difficult to handle the relationship with colleagues and bosses, or you feel that the company is unfair to you, not recognized, and has little development prospects. Next, we should find a way to ask ourselves whether we have achieved respect, weakness, communication and tolerance in interpersonal relationships; In terms of development, can your current job improve your ability? For managers, to eliminate employees' dissatisfaction, they must truly understand employees' needs, create a relaxed and comfortable environment for employees, ensure a stable, sound, fair and just system, and relieve employees' worries.
The law of fuel tank-when you are tired, set some small goals.
A Ferrari, no matter how good its performance is, will break down without refueling. For people in the workplace, "oil" refers to career goals and is the driving force for work. Many people who choose a career entirely according to their interests often ignore the value of a career, that is, "Why am I interested in it?" What do I want? "If you don't get the desired value for a long time, people will have job burnout. This is the "fuel tank method", which contains two problems.
1, career goals. Looking for a job, which is more important, interest or development, is an unsolved problem. Of course, the best state is both, but the reality is often not perfect. When there is a contradiction between the two, we should first think about what our career goals are and what we want from our work, and then find out the measure, which is salary, stability or self-worth. Only by defining the standard of gain and loss can we judge whether the "engine" of the work itself is not good or whether our "oil" is not enough.
2. Job burnout. People stay in a post for a long time, and their enthusiasm gradually fades. They will inevitably be tired, bored, depressed, unmotivated and emotionally unstable, and they will muddle along at first. At this time, don't just resign, but try to "fill up" yourself. We can break down our work into small goals, and constantly achieving the goals is a process of self-improvement, which can bring you a sense of accomplishment and inspire new enthusiasm for work. Learn to praise and reward yourself, even if you have a little achievement, you must affirm yourself. When you are physically and mentally exhausted, you'd better rest in time, get enough sleep and chat with friends and family.
The law of flight-find the root cause before job-hopping
Many people try to escape their efforts by quitting their jobs, but in the end they find that many things still have to be faced. It's like playing boomerang. If you throw it out, it will fly back. You can escape from this world, but you can't escape from your heart.
There are many reasons for job-hopping, such as being dissatisfied with the treatment, not seeing the prospect, not liking the boss, and having conflicts with colleagues ... They often attribute the problems they encountered in their original units to external factors and ignore their own shortcomings. Therefore, even if they are in a new environment, they will repeat their past behavior patterns and encounter the same troubles. Frequent job-hopping is a taboo in the workplace, which not only lacks the continuity of career development, but also makes employers lack trust. At the same time, escapists lack self-confidence. Their core belief is "I am not good enough", especially in the face of setbacks and challenges, negative thoughts will prevail.
Before job-hopping, I suggest you find the "root cause" first. If it is their own lack of ability, we must find ways to improve our level; If the current platform is not suitable, first of all, we should make clear the career orientation, evaluate the risk of job-hopping and find good opportunities. In addition, it is also important to examine whether your dissatisfaction with your work unit is objective.
Durian Law —— The Initiative of Newcomers in the Workplace
If you ask a person who has never eaten durian "Do you like durian", he can't answer-he can't say he likes it, and he can't be sure that he doesn't like it without trying. This truth is called "durian law" in the workplace: many people want to find a suitable job right away, but they never take the initiative to understand and experience it, so a good job is likely to slip away when you are hesitant.
In fact, it is more appropriate to use "durian law" to describe newcomers in the workplace. Newcomers always judge the quality of a job by imagination, but without practice, they can't find the real value of a job. According to statistics, even under the premise of continuous practice, it takes about three years for a person to find an ideal job. Therefore, waiting is fruitless. Instead of obsessing about how to find a job that suits you, it is better to adjust your mentality and try more so that you can get the final answer in every experience. For people who have been in the workplace for many years, they should also take the initiative to find and solve problems and dare to try; When dealing with interpersonal relationships, we should take the initiative to get close to the team and be honest with others.
Experience can be divided into direct experience and indirect experience. Direct experience is to take the initiative to attack, and indirect experience is to obtain information through other people's suggestions and feelings. People who have never eaten durian can also feel the taste through the introduction of others, but the feeling is not the most direct and objective. The same is true of work. You have to try it yourself to know. Other people's suggestions are for reference only. Of course, workplace experience should not be too blind. Frequent job hopping is not conducive to career development. We should find a balance point and realize it.
Betting method-it is better to cultivate relationships than to practice internal skills
The so-called "betting method" means that many people in the workplace are trying their best to find shortcuts, hoping to find the fastest and most labor-saving method. Therefore, they often gamble on uncontrollable things, such as going through the back door and climbing relationships. However, in this way, if you win, you can fly to the branches and become a phoenix. If you lose, you will be defeated, and there is no chance to buffer.
Whether it is a way or a shortcut, it can't escape the law of normal development. The road to success is made by down-to-earth people step by step, and the valuable experience gained is beyond the reach of people who take shortcuts. Even if there is a good opportunity, you need to work hard to succeed. For example, does a person with superior intelligence need to "waste time" all the way from primary school to middle school to university? The answer is yes. People with high IQ can indeed skip some links, but life experience is not only a hard textbook, but also a comprehensive ability to deal with people and work as a team. Therefore, it is the best policy to cultivate internal strength well and slowly and steadily.
Law of collision-what you achieve is what you win.
People who like watching basketball games will find that the stars who score the most often make the most mistakes. The law of collision tells us that luck is a probability. The more you collide with your career life, the greater your chances of getting good luck. Therefore, instead of waiting for luck, it is better to create opportunities.
First of all, the most important thing is to do your job well. On this basis, doing more every day can attract more attention and create opportunities. Secondly, dare to accept new tasks, of course, the premise is to make good plans and preparations, such as what will happen after the work is completed and how to deal with it. Finally, always keep the best mental state in front of the leader, so that he can safely hand over important tasks to you.
When you get good luck, you may also encounter failure. People are afraid of failure, but they are often more afraid of being laughed at, so we always spend too much energy speculating on other people's opinions. If you think too much, you may just stay where you are forever. So, don't stop because of one failure. Enthusiasm and persistence can make you succeed in the end.

"Why do you earn less than others?"
In this issue, the workplace inspiration I bring to you is "Why do you earn less than others?" I hope you will like it.
Why do some people earn more and others earn less? I asked several people this question, and the answer first made me feel desperate about my level of expression. 80% of the respondents think I will lead the topic to the problem of social injustice. As soon as I mentioned this, they immediately became indignant and pointed at the sky, which led me to settle the coffee bill on my own initiative in order to calm their mood. In addition, it also shows that most people I know think they belong to the class with less income.
Of course, before asking this question, we have defined the conditions, that is, in this question, "some people" are making the same efforts and developing on the same resources. To some extent, you can understand that such people are average at all levels. However, there is probably another group of people who do exactly the same thing every day, but the income they get is quite different from the former.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the different level of overall economic development in the areas where workers live and the different competitive structure in the regional human market. But there is another point, that is, the same workers have different levels of professional leverage and their incomes may vary greatly.
Let's define professional leverage first: with the increase of the number of people who do products or services, if the marginal labor or marginal cost you pay is not reduced, but higher and higher, it means that your professional leverage is relatively low. On the other hand, if the marginal cost drops rapidly, even to zero, then the occupational leverage is high.
There is a story in Zhuangzi, which can well illustrate the gap caused by professional leverage. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a businessman was doing business in wuyue, and he got a secret recipe from the local aborigines. This is a way to make hand cream, which can prevent people from frostbite in winter. The merchant later made a lot of this hand cream and sold it to the king of Wu. Wu was at war with Yue and Chu, and the soldiers of Wu avoided frostbite and improved their fighting capacity, thus winning the war. Therefore, antifreeze hand cream can sell at a high price, and it has also become a restricted military supply. Tutu produces hand cream as well as that businessman, who earns much more money than Tutu. In this story, the professional leverage of businessmen is much higher than that of locals.
It is easy to explain that people with high professional leverage earn more. The ultimate goal of company competition is to have more income than others on the premise of providing the same quality products or services. However, the life span and health tolerance of people in each company are limited, so the competition between people in the company becomes the competition of efficiency. Whoever can produce products at low cost will win in the competition.
The so-called professional competition between people in the company, what are they competing for? From the perspective of professional leverage, the focus of their competition is the "handle" of professional leverage. No matter in a company or an industry, the positions with high professional leverage are always limited. Generally speaking, in an economy, industries with higher average occupational leverage can also attract the best talents in society.
Sometimes, people in the company will fall into what we often call craftsman thinking in the direction of competition, that is, "I want to do more." People sometimes regard this as a virtue.
What is craftsman thinking? If you are a craftsman, there are writers like me and painters or playwrights who look more advanced. If you want to make more money, an error-prone way is to increase production.
Although this method may slightly increase his income in the short term, the marginal cost has not decreased, and in many cases, this cost will increase. This is because if a guy writes too many columns or paintings and wants to keep the marginal cost unchanged, then the so-called inspiration or characteristics in these works will be spread by the author to all works like pepper noodles, which will inevitably be shoddy. This may lead to the decline of the author's professional leverage. In order to make professional leverage firm, craftsmen must pay higher marginal costs.
Therefore, companies that want to increase their wealth should increase their professional leverage instead of increasing their workload-that will only make you more tired of your work and life.
Give up 7% of your life and you will succeed.
Lead: In life, sometimes bad things come unexpectedly, which makes us unprepared. At this time, we should learn to give up. Give up anxiety and wait for the turn of life in peace.
American insurance giant Frank. When Bijil first started in the insurance industry, his career was smooth sailing. Excellent sales promotion ability makes him feel at home in this industry. When he was full of passion and ambition for the future, he was eager to show his talents in the insurance industry, but he encountered the first "bottleneck" problem in his career and was firmly trapped by it. What happened to him?
He wanted to improve his performance quickly, so he began to go out to run business from morning till night and tried his best to persuade customers to buy the insurance he recommended. He often goes home several times in order to win every possible business. To his dismay, all the efforts have had little effect-although he has paid several times more sweat than usual, his grades have not improved much.
During that time, he was extremely depressed, depressed all day, lost hope for the future, and even wanted to give up this challenging career.
One weekend morning, he woke up from a nightmare, still a little depressed and uneasy. But soon, he calmed down
He began to think seriously about the solution to the problem.
He kept asking himself: Why are you so depressed recently? What's the problem? The scene of his daily work flashed in his mind: many times, after his repeated visits and efforts, the customer finally agreed to buy his insurance, but at the last minute, the customer often went back on his word and said, "Let me think about it again and talk about it next time." In this way, he finally had to leave in frustration and spend time looking for new business.
How can I quickly save myself from depression? He has a quick mind.
When he didn't think of a better way, he began to look through his work notes over the past year and conduct detailed and in-depth research-hoping to find the answer from them. Soon, he found the crux of the problem A bold idea flashed through his mind, which made him a little shocked.
In the following days, he changed his old working methods and began to adopt new marketing strategies. The result surprised him, and he created a miracle-in a very short time, he earned an average of 2 each time. The score of 70 yuan quickly rose to 4. 27 yuan. That year, his new insurance business broke through the million-dollar mark for the first time, causing a sensation in the industry.
With its outstanding wisdom and unique marketing strategy, Frank? Bijie has rapidly grown into an insurance giant.
See you later, Frank? Bigill revealed the secret of his success to the world. It turned out that he found such a strange set of data in his work log, which changed his understanding of his work: 70% of the insurance performance he sold in a year was the first meeting, 23% was the second meeting, and only 7% was the third meeting. And the time he actually spent on that 7% business accounted for almost half of all his working hours.
So his new marketing strategy is to give up 7% interest decisively and not be moved by its temptation. In this way, he can spare a lot of time for the development of new business. So, he succeeded.
Success is sometimes as simple as that-give up 7% of your life decisively!
Inspirational articles in the workplace: Why are we still clerks?
Although "nine to five" is synonymous with work, it is not the time to go to work, but the time to get off work that really determines the career direction and the direction of life.
For example, office workers in many big cities will complain that it is already eight or nine o'clock when they get home. After dinner, playing games and watching TV, it's time to wash and sleep. To put it bluntly, this kind of life is a typical portrayal of the "poor and busy people"; With compassion, there is at least a "life" in this life. If you want to be a "rich and busy family", at least in the "rising career", you have no leisure to think about playing games and watching TV in your spare time.
I once signed up for an interpretation class on a whim. One of the teachers is about 30 years old. He is very beautiful, dressed in fashion and has a good explanation ability. Every time he comes and goes in a hurry, he spends five minutes cooking a bowl of noodles at noon. Later, I learned that she studied history in college. Her job is the public relations manager of a company. Her son is five years old. She has to go to work, do housework and take care of the children every day. Different from us, she has a second-class interpreter certificate from the personnel department and has the task of translating in different places every month. She is also the tutor of this translation center.
After opening the blog, she has updated more than 500 pages and more than 2,000 posts, all of which are articles that she does interpretation exercises by herself every day, with an average of two long articles and one short article every day. She has been doing this for almost 65,438+00 years and has been working hard because she likes English as a non-professional background. I admire her. She said 10 years ago, she had seen an investigation report. If a person wants to master a skill and become an expert, he needs to practice continuously 10000 hours. At that time, she calculated that if she practiced for five hours a day and 300 days a year, it would take seven years for a person to master this skill.
Fortunately, I know what skills I want to master, she said. I just need to get into it right away. I don't have five hours. I can only study for three hours every day. It's almost 10 years now. I think I have basically mastered this skill. Liu Liu also mentioned this theory in Weibo. She said that she became a writer after seven years of hard writing. The Beatles had held 65,438+0,200 concerts before he became famous, and Bill Gates worked as a programmer for seven years before he became a rich man.
But why have you been a civil servant for 10 years or just a small clerk? Why did you cook at home for seven years, but instead of becoming a super chef, you found your marriage itchy for seven years?
That's because you have no energy and enthusiasm to practice a skill. Going to work every day is reading newspapers and surfing the internet to deal with all kinds of trivial matters. Everyone does what you do. Cooking every day is just to make the family run normally, without professional watching.
Don't lament that you have no major after graduating from college. If you have 12 years of school education since junior high school, even if you learn a skill for 2 hours a day and 300 days a year, there are only 7,200 hours, and there is still a gap of 2,800 hours. Even if you keep practicing 1 hour every day after graduation, it will take 10 years. Why are science and engineering people more likely to succeed? As long as they are professional counterparts, they are still doing something after graduation, and that is 1 8 hours a day. These 2800 hours can be filled in just over 1 year. However, many of us, especially women, practice not skills, but mostly trivial people and things. In fact, they were abandoned.
Maybe you will say, I am an ordinary person, I don't want to be anyone, I just want a quiet life. That's just your illusion. Time is running out. Your repeated actions every day are shaping you. You don't want to be anything, but you are destined to be something.
Five hours a day, if you spend it watching Korean dramas, web pages and chatting, then after seven years, you will become a bystander of life. What you are best at is telling others' successes and failures as numerous as a few treasures, and you can't find anything to say about yourself. Spend 1 minute thinking about what you want to do most, and then do it every day. After 7 years, you will find that you can make a living by this. Even if you like shopping, is there a rule that you should try shopping for 3 hours every day? Maybe you feel happy at first, and every day, you will feel bored. If you persist, you will begin to doubt. What else can you find when shopping? What tricks can you make? Stick to it, after 7 years, you may become a fashionista, an image design expert, a street photographer and a clothing buyer. ...
