Why do you say that no matter how smart a person is, he is stupid, and you can be promoted faster?

To preserve our sanity is not only the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but also a sign that a man is sensible, mature and steady. In fact, no matter how clever a person is, he is also stupid. This is the art of keeping a low profile. "No matter how clever a person is, he is stupid" focuses on the word "if", creating a huge illusion and covering up real talent, prestige, ambition, power desire and feelings. This strategy of being willing to be foolish and weak is actually a kind of calculating invisibility in the workplace, encouraging people in the workplace not to compete for the first place and not to be sharp-edged.

In the workplace, there is a phenomenon worthy of your attention, that is, although some professionals are very smart, they are "stupid" in front of colleagues and leaders.

Others talk a lot, but generally don't express their opinions, which is very dull. But when an important job left everyone at a loss, they finished it quietly.

They won't get the honor from you, and even give it to others.

They don't care whether they are busy at work or whether they have to work overtime. They will try their best to put their energy and time into their work, and even turn their money upside down. As for colleagues taking advantage, it doesn't matter.

They don't seem very popular, they don't like girls, and they don't even have that many friends.

Their lives always seem to revolve around work, which is meaningless and tasteless.

If they are mentioned, many people in the workplace will ridicule and say, "That's just a nerd and a workaholic." Of course, they will always be a minority in the office because they don't fit in.

Are they stupid? Are they stupid? Wait until you become their subordinate, and then answer this question! At that time, you will suddenly find that the most "stupid" person may be the smartest.

Speaking of Liu Huifang, everyone is amazed at the speed of her promotion. After graduating from higher vocational college, she worked as a receptionist in a large company with a large number of undergraduates and postgraduates, and then ascended the throne of administrative director at a rocket speed within three years. Whether it's extraordinary intelligence or lucky luck, everyone has different opinions. But the old employees of the company know that she has always been the most "stupid" employee of the company from the front desk to the administrative director.

When Liu Huifang graduated, the employment situation was so severe that even college students were afraid. After delivering dozens of application letters, a company finally responded, but when Liu Huifang rushed to the interview, he found that more than 40 people had gathered in front of the company, including undergraduate, master and various certificates, and the competition was almost fierce to the point of close combat. After passing the initial test and interview, Liu Huifang entered the final round of investigation: three days' internship in the Human Resources Department.

The director of human resources assigned a task to Liu Huifang, sorting and classifying some documents of the company in previous years and saving them in the microcomputer. However, just after a busy day in Liu Huifang, bad news came before going to work, and the company urgently notified to suspend the recruitment of new employees.

"Isn't this a lie?" Other college students who participated in the internship expressed their dissatisfaction to the director of human resources. It was not until the end of the work that the overwhelmed human resources director sent away the last aggrieved intern.

In the public office area, the director of human resources found that Liu Huifang was still busy with piles of papers. The HR supervisor said politely, "I'm sorry to have kept you busy all day." I can't help it This is a temporary decision of the company ... go home from work! You needn't come tomorrow. "

Liu Huifang stood up and said, "Nothing. It's just that I've sorted out half of these documents. If I were anyone else, I would have to start from scratch. I felt uneasy when I didn't finish my work. I will come back tomorrow, and one morning will be enough. "

Other internship students said Liu Huifang was stupid. It is better to seize the time to find another job than to contribute to others in vain. But Liu Huifang just smiled.

When he left at noon the next day, Liu Huifang left rows of bound folders and a neat archive room.

Two months later, Liu Huifang, who had to do odd jobs in a small shop, received a phone call from the director of human resources, saying that the company now had a position and invited her to apply. It turned out that the HR director specifically mentioned Liu Huifang's performance when reporting the recruitment situation to the general manager of the company. The general manager was impressed by this "stupidest job seeker" and instructed the human resources director to leave her contact information. When the company completed the adjustment and re-recruited employees, the human resources director was the first to call Liu Huifang. In this way, in the envious eyes of classmates, Liu Huifang stepped back into the door of this company.

Liu Huifang, a newcomer with the lowest education and no experience, was arranged to be the front desk. In everyone's eyes, this is the most "junk" position in the company. The job is to answer the phone and register visitors. Nobody has worked for more than two years. There is no future in choosing such a position. But Liu Huifang didn't complain. She greeted her first job with a smile. In her words, "the future is not chosen, but made."

On the first day of work, Liu Huifang changed the tattered register and tore up the dirty telephone contact list. Instead, it is a big one opened by 16. The first page is her own printed company profile. As for the telephone contact list, she stayed up until 1 1 for several nights in a row and memorized it by heart. Some people don't understand, saying that it takes 10 seconds to check the phone contact list, so why rote learning? Liu Huifang said that his job is to "ask and answer questions quickly", not only the phone number and seat number, but also everything in the company.

Once, several Singaporean customers came to the company to discuss cooperation, and Liu Huifang arranged for them to wait in the lobby. Customers sit together and talk about not knowing much about the company's performance. Liu Huifang took the initiative to come forward and said politely, "If you can, take up a little time and I can make a brief introduction." In people's surprised eyes, Liu Huifang methodically described the company's sales performance, market share and operation in recent years. When the sales director came to meet him, the customers were full of praise: "Your company is so great that an ordinary employee can blurt out his company's performance, and we are very confident in your company ..." Later, the general manager asked Liu Huifang how he remembered this long list of numbers. Liu Huifang replied: "At the company's annual meeting and every regular meeting, I made a detailed record of the situation of each department." The general manager can't help but sit up and take notice of her.

Soon, this warm and careful front desk became a beautiful landscape in the company. In fact, Liu Huifang was ridiculed by many colleagues as a "fool". For example, in order to ensure that the phone rings three times, Liu Huifang never brings a cup to the company, which minimizes the number of times he goes to the toilet. Everyone says that the company is not in Shangganling, so there is no need to always throw cold water on it. Liu Huifang believes that every unknown phone call may be a potential customer, and perhaps a million-dollar business begins with a timely and enthusiastic answer. For another example, Liu Huifang always cleans the hall after lunch. Some people say don't be silly, the company paid the property management company. Liu Huifang said: "The cleaning time of the property management company is half an hour later than the company's afternoon work time. There were many employees coming in and out at noon, and footprints were everywhere. If customers come, it will definitely affect their first impression of the company. " In this way, Liu Huifang really shines like gold in the most hopeless position.

Many things happen. A year later, the title of "excellent employee" and extra bonus fell to the most "stupid" receptionist Liu Huifang for the first time.

According to the company's regulations, at the end of each year, all employees should write a year-end debriefing report to make a comprehensive summary of their work throughout the year, not only summing up experience, but also setting goals and making suggestions. Nearly a thousand employees of the company satirized this work rule as the biggest formalism. So, when Liu Huifang started typing word by word on the keyboard, the old employee said to her, "Don't be silly, just download the next one from the Internet and change it. Thousands of reports are piled up, higher than the boss, who will read them? Joke, I will definitely sell waste paper in the end. " Liu Huifang ignored it, because she did have a lot of feelings after working for one year, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to put forward suggestions and ideas, so as to do the most perfunctory things well. In the past, Liu Huifang's advice fell into the sea at most when it came to the department manager, but with her status and identity, it was only an extravagant hope to see the boss express his position face to face. Liu Huifang thought that he must take this opportunity to express his views on the company's current situation and suggestions for future development in detail, and the illustrated form will be beneficial to realize this idea. So, Liu Huifang came home every night, and the first thing after dinner was to rush to the computer to prepare materials and draw charts. A week later, a year-end summary report similar to a fashion magazine came out. The color cover is the symbol and purpose of the company. The title page has a table of contents and an abstract. The text is divided into three parts, namely "my work", "my opinion" and "my suggestion". Each part has detailed data and intuitive charts, and also shows the bad work style and waste phenomenon in the company in the form of cartoons. Finally, it is sincere advice and passionate ideas. In the next few days, every employee of the company was talking about this incredible year-end summary report, saying that it was unexpected that the year-end summary report would be written like this, and Liu Huifang suddenly became the focus of the company. Three days later, the boss called Liu Huifang to the office and said to her, "Your first application and this year-end summary report left a deep impression on me. I have read the report four times. You see the problem accurately, your thinking is clear and your ideas are creative. But I appreciate your sense of responsibility for the company and your work. You may need a more suitable position. Do it well! "

In this way, the most "stupid" employees of this company embarked on the highway of their careers.
