If you don't advance, you will retreat. Everything develops in a good direction because of diligence, and retrogresses in a bad direction because of laziness. This shows the great significance of diligence. Until today, China people attach great importance to diligence in their lives and work. For example, there are few jobs that don't need overtime now. No matter what kind of industry you are in, you basically need to work overtime to catch up with the progress.
In contrast, Germans are "lazy". They give One Happy and Fifty a day off every year, but their economic development is still ahead of the world. So far, many people lament that Germany is too powerful, so how terrible are the Germans?
German industry is ahead of the world. Mercedes-Benz and BMW that we are familiar with are German brands. In the hearts of the world, Germany is synonymous with rigor. At the same time, Germany's GDP ranking of 20 17 is second only to the United States, China and Japan, which shows that Germany's economy is developing rapidly.
In everyone's eyes, Germany is developing so fast that the pace of work must be very fast, even like us, it needs a 996 working system. Unexpectedly, a year later, Germans have 150 days to rest, so some people wonder: why do Germans work half the time and their economic level is still ahead of many countries? In fact, this has a lot to do with German history.
Historically, Germany has always been a strong country. In the 2nd-3rd century BC, Germany officially became independent. After 1806, Germany and other countries formed the Rhine Federation. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, Germany will be reunified again. Then Germany experienced two world wars, and 1945 was defeated. After the defeat, Germany was forced to use the Berlin Wall to divide it into East Germany and West Germany. Under the leadership of western countries and the Soviet Union, Germany was divided for more than 40 years and finally reunified in 1990.
It can be seen that Germany has been in the process of separation and integration in history, and it has split many times, but its strength cannot be underestimated. Germany's economic and industrial level is very high, ahead of many other countries, so it has made great achievements.
It is reported that Germany has 102 days of weekends and about 40 days of paid rest every year. These holidays add up to about 150 days, which shows that Germans don't work half the time. Converted, if you work five days a week, Germans only need to work five hours and twenty minutes a day on average, so they are called "the people with the shortest working hours in the world". The Germans who can work so easily have created an economic miracle.
On the other hand, employees in China are under great pressure. Now it is no longer possible to calculate according to nine to five. More companies implement the 996 working system, and the annual working hours have far exceeded 2000 hours. In contrast, the Germans are very enviable. In fact, the reason why Germans work short hours stems from the German concept that they will not take their work to other occasions, so Germans will not use their personal time to engage in related work after work. If it weren't for an emergency, the Germans wouldn't want to, let alone work overtime.
In addition, German law stipulates that the average working hours per month and day should not exceed 8 hours. If employees work overtime, the boss should bear legal responsibility. Relevant laws and regulations also guarantee the working hours of Germans.
Although Germans have few working hours, they pay great attention to their work efficiency. Germany has always emphasized ingenuity and made every product the best. It can be seen that ingenuity is the essence of German culture, so they can get efficient work in a short time and make rational use of every minute. Therefore, even if Germans don't work overtime, they can create more wealth for themselves and make Germany's economy ahead of many countries.
At the same time, the Germans have advanced technology. These Germans can create 10 dollars of wealth every hour, far exceeding Japan, Britain and other countries. In the face of German ingenuity, I deeply admired it for several days. This shows that the Germans are really terrible. Their professionalism can improve their economic benefits, and some people even lament that if Germans work longer hours, I don't know how terrible it will be.

Not only Germans work hard, but also China people pay great attention to perfection. They should consider everything carefully. Because it is serious, it will make the country progress. Germans never want to work overtime for nothing. They are serious about their work, respect every employee and cherish their time. This is the most respectable place for Germans. In contrast, many enterprises only pay attention to face engineering. Although they let employees work overtime, they can't achieve any effect, which not only delays employees' time, but also slowly consumes the company's resources.
