How to get better and better in the workplace

Time never waits for anyone. By the time you realize it, it has slipped away from your hands quietly.

After the epidemic, we have experienced a lot of changes, and have seen many touching and heart-wrenching scenes. The warmth of the world have been displayed in this period of time. During this period of time, I believe that everyone is thinking, what else can we do to change ourselves and make our life better, even if it is only a small change?

An epidemic has made us see the cruelty of society and the indifference in the workplace. The following three pieces of advice apply to young people entering the workforce, middle-aged people, and even seniors approaching retirement.

Advice #1: Health is more important than making money

After experiencing the pandemic, everyone has realized how important their own health is. When we face the epidemic, our opponents are some viruses that we cannot see with the naked eye, but can penetrate into our body ubiquitously. "Your own health is always the most important thing." This is what the elders have said to us, but there are very few people who can really listen to them.

Only when people lose can they know the importance of cherishing. In order to make money, many people ignore the capital of their own bodies. From time to time in the society, there are employees who died suddenly due to overwork

But in any case, we cannot forget the importance of health.

Advice #2: the poorer you are, the more humble you need to be

When many people are poor, the more they value their own face. Thinking that face is your only capital. But this kind of mentality will make people place too much emphasis on their own self-esteem.

The poorer a person is, the more he has to learn to let go of his face. Only by letting go of face can you have the opportunity to see more opportunities, to be able to pay attention to the details that you usually ignore, and to pinpoint the point of your failure. Prescribe the right medicine for a breakthrough. Only by letting go of your own face can you truly regain your confidence, help yourself turn over again, and go further and better.

Advice #3: Say good things about others

If you want to be in the society, you have to deal with people. Therefore, maintaining good interpersonal relationships with others is a knowledge that a person must study and study all his life. Many people like to hear good things about themselves, but they don't want to hear others say bad things about them behind their backs and slander themselves.

Therefore, if there is no conflict or enmity between you, then you should say less bad things about others and more praises. In this way, the other party will listen to you comfortably, and their attitude towards you will be much better, and they will have a good impression of you, instead of swearing at you from the beginning.

Summary: Life is very long, everything you have experienced is your precious experience and wealth; hold them firmly in your hands, and one day they will be transformed into your precious resources.

Do you have these 2 types of personalities to get promoted quickly?

We found that people who grow fast in the workplace can change their roles at any time. They are good subordinates in front of the boss, a good partner in the team, and a good leader in front of their subordinates. To be "good", you need to switch at any time. own role in the workplace.

Good students in the workplace will steal from their teachers

A good student, a person who can grow rapidly in the workplace, must be a person who is good at discovering and summarizing the advantages of others, and using them to benefit himself.

People who are good at learning will abandon all personal preferences, discover the advantages of others, ignore the shortcomings, and then let themselves have the same advantages and grow.

For example, colleague A is good at writing PPT. He is rigorous and rigid, but his work is well-organized. Some people can learn from colleague A's "organized" working attitude and ignore his "rigidity", while some people will infinitely magnify his rigidity and ignore his advantages. People who can discover the advantages of others can not only turn the advantages of others into their own, but also avoid the minefields of others. For example, when dealing with colleague A, they must take into account his rigidity and seriousness, and respect his rigor at work. , Don't make jokes that he doesn't like in life.

People who can't find the advantages of others have such a mentality: they always feel that other people's achievements are easy. For example, I often hear things like "He's just lucky, it's my turn, so can I", "It's all a lie, he just can talk", "He's just related to the boss and has no strengths at all" and so on. But in real life it is that "luck", "emotional intelligence" and "personal connections" that work in the workplace, and these are not what everyone is born with, they are all painstakingly managed over time.

Don't let your lack of effort and inadequacy in learning turn into jealousy, which will lead to slower growth.

Good worker makes plans

We found that there is a type of people who are always clear in the workplace, clearly know their career direction, know what stage they are in in the workplace, know where they should work hard, know how to create conditions, and know how to achieve their goals step by step. .

This is rare. Because more than 90% of people don't know what they want to do in the future, they always take one step at a time, and many people have high ambitions, but they don't know how to operate when it comes to the specific practical part.

So how do you make yourself a person with clear direction? First, a general direction is required, then a plan is made according to the direction, and finally the plan is implemented step by step. For example, just like taking a long vacation to travel abroad (general direction), how to go, where to stay, which attractions to visit (plan), buy air tickets, book hotels (specific implementation methods), as long as you go according to your own plan. Taking small steps to implement it will get closer and closer to the ultimate goal.

See the big from the small, when you really learn how to do something and learn to be a person with clear direction, the career path will become more and more clear.

To sum up, if you want to run faster than others in the workplace, firstly, you must learn to improve yourself, secondly, you must have the direction to work hard and know how to persevere. As long as you improve yourself in these 2 areas, your career path will get better and better.​

It's a good idea to do research on salary ranges and to have open and honest conversations with your employer about your expectations and goals.
