Looking for an easy job?

 Looking for an easy job?

01     Feeling Tired? Then it is correct

Have you heard the story of three masons?

Three masons were building walls, and one person came over and asked, what are you doing?

The first mason said angrily, haven't you seen it? I'm working hard to build a wall!

The second mason replied calmly, as you can see, we are building a tall building.

The third mason said happily, ah, we are creating better lives!

Ten years later, the first mason is still building walls, the second mason becomes an engineer, and the third mason becomes the boss of the two.

They all started as masons, but went on to three different routes. Why?

It is because each of them has a different attitude towards their work.

Destiny is in our own hands. Success or failure is often just a matter of thought. Complaining will eventually make you accomplish nothing.

The sufferings you suffer today, the losses you have suffered, the responsibilities you bear, and the pain you endure will all turn into light at the end of the tunnel, illuminating your way.

Everyone is eager to succeed, but it takes a lot of hard work to achieve results.

You have to know that not every job is satisfactory, not every job can get you a high salary.

There are many people who have toiled and endured hardship and exhaustion for their lives.

Are they tired?

Of course they are!

There is this classic sentence:

"Are you really tired?

If you are, then it is correct. Comfort is only for the dead!"

If it gets really tiring, remind yourself: the easy way is downhill, It is tough because you are going uphill, and with that, you will definitely make progress. "

No job is easy, and successful people never complain.

Treat suffering as the route to success, and you will eventually receive your own glory. It is just a matter of time.

02     There is no easy way out in the adult world

Not long ago, I had a small gathering with friends and we talked about work. One of my friends said he had not closed his eyes for days and his report was rejected by the boss in the meeting, and he felt very ashamed.

The meeting was a lunch meeting, so the boss packed lunch for him and his colleagues, he was very pissed because of the scolding initially but after thinking that there was ‘free‘ lunch. He simmered down. 

Then I smiled and told him: There is no such thing as easy in the adult world, there is no such thing as a free lunch either. Behind all the success is all our time and sweat. 

No matter at what age, if you feel wronged, you can cry, but after crying, your life has to go on. 

There is this Japanese drama that I watched before. The heroine is still asleep early in the morning, and is spammed by her boss' continuous messages. Despite the reluctance to wake up, she got dressed to go to work within minutes. She was yelled at by her boss and cheated by my colleagues at work, even though she was wronged, she still apologized on behalf of her colleagues. That was not all. Her boss assigned her a task that was not within the scope of her duties. Do you feel a sense of familiarity? Aren’t these familiar scenes just a portrayal of our real workplace?

Work will not treat you preferentially because you are the "protagonist", and the work that should be done and the hardships that should be suffered will not be lesser than others. 

Who has not survived the dark night of hardship and only wakes up to see the beautiful dawn?

No job is easy, since you are alive; you have to take the responsibility that belongs to you. 

Life is very tired, but if you are not tired now, you will only be more tired in the future. 

Success and failure walk together, tears and laughter are intertwined, and this is life.

03     Life is like brewing tea 

Have come across such a story:

A depressed young man complained to a respected master:

"Life is always unsatisfactory. Difficulties and frustrations surround me. Is this the only way I can do in my life?"

The master didn't speak, picked up the kettle on the table, made a cup of tea for the young man, and let him taste it. The young man took a sip and said, "Master, this tea isn’t’ fragrant at all."

The master smiled indifferently, took another cup again, and put the same amount of tea leaves in it. Then he slowly poured boiling water into the cup.

After doing it for six times, the aroma of tea had filled the whole room.

It turned out that the first tea was made with warm water, the fragrance of the tea did not come out.

During the second time, the tea leaves were repeatedly brewed in boiling water, and that was why it exuded a clear and mellow aroma. We are like this pinch of tea leaves, and our destiny is this pot of warm or hot water. If you are the pinch of fragrant tea leaves, you should not crave warm water.

Setbacks and tribulations are like hot boiling water. Only when we endure the ups and downs of fate will we exude the richest fragrance of life. The fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold and good tea requires boiling water. This is the eternal truth.

So stop sighing and complaining about your work all day. 

"There is no job in the world that is not hard, and there is no place on earth where people are not complicated. If it is destined to be yours, do it well."

The road ahead is still long. No matter what you have experienced, don't bow to fate easily. You can get through the hardships of life before you get the sweetness at the end.

How should a typical office worker manage his/her finance?

How should a typical office worker manage his/her finance?

There are mainly 2 concerns of a typical office worker.

1.       How to plan their own income correctly and reasonably

2.       How to better manage their finances

Office workers can basically be divided into two types: "Busy but poor people" and "Moonlight Clan". "Busy but poor people" are generally too busy at work and have no time to manage money. They can only let their assets shrink little by little in this era of low interest rates, but they can't do anything about it. As the name suggests, the monthly salary of the "Moonlight Clan" is just enough for their own expenses, there is no spare money for financial management, and they cannot save much money.

So how should office workers manage their finances?

01     Reduce Debt

Office workers should reduce their debts, and having contingency sum is vital. The simplest way to reduce debt is to improve their net worth. The main liabilities of office workers include housing loans, car loans, credit cards, and consumer loans. Basically, the level of debt that an individual or family can bear should be the remaining disposable income after deducting the monthly fixed expenses and savings requirements.

02     Reduce Expenditure

It is difficult to have more income since promotion or pay raise does not come easy, then they should consume in a planned way and start with "cutting expenditure." Choosing the right time for shopping, buying only the essentials, and avoiding over-swiping credit cards and borrowing money are all things that office workers can control. At the same time, develop a good habit of keeping accounts, check your income and expenditure regularly, and avoid spending aimlessly.

03     Resist Temptation

In the new age, some people will say that it is most important to have fun now, since no one can control the future. But contrary, there are more things worth exploring and experiencing in life. In order to be truly happy, you must be frugal, control your own expenses, and focus on fulfilling your life dream.

04     Forced Savings

Office workers should develop the habit of forced savings. The first step of financial management for office workers is to save first. You must first save a sum of money as the capital of investment, and then talk about accelerating the accumulation of assets.

05     Active Investing

Banks’ fixed deposit interest rates have also been lowered frequently. Office workers in the era should pay more attention to investment, consider the rate of return according to their own needs and risk tolerance, and choose a relatively safe and secure platform.

"Money" is the best gauge to judge a person

If tomorrow is the end of the world, how will you spend your today?

If tomorrow is the end of the world, how will you spend your today?

Maybe many people will break down because they can’t bear the pressure, and some will wait dazedly...

But I think most people will say:

I will cherish today even more and do my best to finish the unfinished thing!

I will embrace my beloved and spend the last moment with them!

I will…

 

Speaking of the end of the world, it is more like a joke.

However, no one knows if it will come soon.

 

If we take it seriously, what if the next moment is the end of the world?

In any case, the end of the world is indeed too far away from us, so I might as well phrase it differently:

 

What if tomorrow is the end of a person's life?

How will he spend today?

The significance of this question is more important.

In fact, how you live a day is how you will live a life.

 Travel

People will die after all. We only have that limited amount of time.

We all know this fact, but we are all evading it.

How many people realize that their time is the real and only resource in life.

We have become accustomed to squandering our time doing things. Treat every day as a day earned and we will be more appreciative.

Let everything happen, there is nothing to regret in my life, only gratitude.

 

Thanks for not giving up in the past.

How do you spend your morning?

 How do you spend your morning?

01 

Sleeping late seems to the habit of a hardworking individual. But when you think about it, it is actually not the sleeping late part that widens the gap of different individuals, but rather the getting early part.

I used to stay up late because I feel the need to have my ‘own’ time after working overtime in the office. I will watch Netflix, youtube, etc till late and because of that, I was always very tired at work. I once tried a "30 Days Early" challenge. After I started insisting on going to bed early and getting up early, sleepiness became an occasional thing, and my work efficiency was greatly improved. I also have more time to plan the work to be done for the day when I am much more clearheaded. From then on, I made getting up early as my daily routine.

Although getting up early seems like a slight change, I gain a lot more from it. Life is still the same, but I can choose to take more control of it.

02 

In our subconscious mind, we always feel that if we stay up a little bit, we gain more time for ourselves. But in fact, what does staying up late give you?

It’s the same eight hours of sleep, from ten o’clock to six o’clock, and from two o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock, but the first group of people will have more energy and clearer mind to do more effective work.

What staying up late can't give you, getting up early may be able to give it to you. Time is fair to everyone; it will not compromise to anyone. What we should learn to do what is how to do things in the most efficient and least disruptive way. Get up early, you deserve the best day to start a new day.

03 

The reason that one can't get up early is because there are too much external interferences consumes one’s willpower.

Try having an ordinary alarm clock and make sure not to touch your phone before doing the first thing after getting up. Do also split the things you have to do into 2-minute things: if you want to exercise, just walk for two minutes; if you want to learn new language, then recite a word; if you want to write a script, write a sentence first. Then getting up early is no longer tough because the sense of fulfilment will replace anxiety.

Those who can control the morning can control their lives. Go to bed early, have the courage to end today, then you will have the energy to welcome a better tomorrow.
