I used to be poor, I didn't know anything, and now I don't know anything, but I don't know how to improve. Please help point out and plan, and hope to have your views.

I've probably seen your situation. In fact, you are not bad. Since you know yourself so well, you know yourself quite well. Your problem now is that you need a plan. After making a plan, you should stick to it. I'm sure you can achieve initial success soon. The following article is not bad. Look, I hope it helps you!

If you don't understand these truths, you are doomed to work in poverty.

First of all, I declare: If you are an "angry youth" or an "angry youth", I'm sorry, please put down this book, because the opinions in it may hurt your mind (not prejudiced against "angry youth", but most of them are "pure" and ignorant, full of utopian fantasies all day, which is really not suitable for career development. I believe that "angry youth" must have a reason to be angry. Some people say that every progress in history is driven by "angry youths", such as Qu Yuan and Lu Xun. Use this to refute me. For this view, my opinion is: if you are not "angry" enough to push the wheel of history forward, then you'd better face up to the current real life and be a "vibrant youth". A hero is known in the time of misfortune. Strange, strange was not born in that era that could make "angry youth" a "hero". Personal opinion, no malice. If the development in the workplace is smooth sailing, there is no need to read this article. These truths are just "pediatrics" for you. If you encounter the problems mentioned on the previous page and want to change yourself from now on and don't want to waste the next 30 years, then spend 30 minutes and read this article carefully. I can't guarantee that reading this article will definitely get you to the top. I don't have that ability. If one day you have a successful career, it has absolutely nothing to do with this article. Because your destiny is only in your own hands!

It's also a part-time job. Why is it that only 2 or 3 kilograms a month, but Tang Jun's worth can be as high as 654.38+0 billion? Maybe you will refute me and say, what is the probability that everyone will become Tang Jun? Indeed, it is unrealistic for everyone to become Tang Jun, but after hard work, there are always many people earning 8K a month, 1W, right? Although you can't be rich or expensive, you can't afford it. Are you crammed into a shared room all day?

Many people like to complain and think the world is not good. But the reality is that in the same recession, why are some people successful and you are mediocre? Where is the gap? Isn't it good to complain? Or blame yourself for not being able to do it? You may not like it when I say this. But an irrefutable fact is: if you have the ability, why is your monthly salary only 2, 3 or 3, 4K? Facts speak plainer than words. So, if you see someone who wants to complain here, please leave as soon as possible. Complaining will never solve the problem.

The workplace is a complex synthesis. You think it's nice to see others giving orders in the workplace, don't you? But behind the surface of their scenery, how many people see the great hardships they have paid? This society is actually very fair. Hard work may not be rewarded, but no hard work will definitely not be rewarded. Blame yourself for being born wrong, and blame your old man for not leaving you a large sum of money to squander!

After all, for those friends who want to change themselves, they still have to look at some things clearly and share some experiences with you. As a professional, I also have my experiences and feelings. During my three years of work, I got seven salary increases (employees who entered at the same time, many employees whose salary increases did not exceed twice). I successfully became a director from employees, which is the fastest growing among all employees. I'm sure that some people who have read this article must be better than me. But for those friends who are more eager to help, I still hope to write down my experiences and share them with you. Someone asked me if there was a shortcut to success, and I told him that the only shortcut was not to take detours. The following nine if you do it, it is only a matter of time before you succeed.

First of all, you must know what your future goals are.

Many people think the workplace is too beautiful, but it is not. Poor planning will inevitably lead to various problems: unhappy work; There is no motivation to move forward; The work is not as good as you think; You can't play out your talents; Seeing the treatment of former classmates, I can't stand it and am eager to jump ship; The job I am looking for to survive is not suitable for me at all. ...

This is a problem that almost all friends who are new to the workplace will face. These problems are usually the most obvious within 1-3 years after entering the workplace (the reason why it is not obvious after 3 years is because you have been tortured by reality for too long and assimilated by various inequalities, so you are used to it. All your ambitions have been shattered by reality, so you have suddenly changed from an ambitious young man to an ordinary migrant worker who is mediocre and willing to be mediocre. If you don't solve these problems as soon as possible, then you will waste these three years (some people may be longer), and for a newcomer in the workplace, these three years are crucial, which are the golden three years for exercising ability and accumulating capital! Once you miss it, you have to spend more time starting over and making up for it! What's more, it may be irreparable for a lifetime! This is definitely not an alarmist! So, if you haven't worked for more than 3 years, congratulations, there is still a chance to change your destiny. And once it is more than 3 years, then every change you make will pay a huge price!

Why do you want to be clear about your goals? Because, with a goal, there is a guide to action. Knowing what you want to do and what you like to do is the ultimate motivation for your progress. The most fundamental reason for unhappy work, lack of motivation and blind job-hopping is unclear career goals. Without a goal, there is no pursuit, so all actions are just to earn a meal. You haven't decided what to do in the future. Maybe you still have profligate capital before you are 30, because you are young and not afraid of anything. Even the company said, "Before the age of 30, what is there to be afraid of? ! "Once you are over 30 years old, you must be cautious in every step, because: you want to get married, you have to support your wife and children, you have to provide loans, you have to support your elderly parents, your children have to go to school when they are old, your parents need to take care of them when they are old, and so on. All these responsibilities must be borne by you. If there is no plan, once there is a problem, you can only be confused.

Career development in life is like brand building, except that your product is yourself. Your own development goal is also the brand goal of your life. With a goal, we should consider how to go. Every step should be closer to the goal, not farther. Therefore, every time you make a decision, the only criterion to measure whether the decision is correct or not is: Can it help you get closer to your goal? If not, then, stop at once, because the road you take deviates from your goal! If we continue, it will only be more wrong!

For life goals, it involves career planning. This is an old topic. Many people think they know a lot, but they are far from it. You can read some related books, but in China, the biggest problem of such books is that they are more didactic and very poor in practicality! Many people are still confused and at a loss after reading the book, but they are even more confused after reading it In my opinion, it is better to find some specialized institutions. Note: Yes, it is not a test. The difference between the two is that the meaning lies in "providing applicable solutions for customers", while the evaluation is limited to "helping you know yourself". I don't know how to do it and how to act closer to my goal! Because the appraisers are experts, while domestic experts are doing research, have no practical experience, and even don't know much about career promotion, how can they guide you to make practical plans? I suggest you make a career plan. If you don't solve it now, I'm afraid you will waste it in the next three years, and it is more likely to ruin your life!

Remember: planning does not necessarily lead to success; But without planning, it will not succeed!

Second, ability is very important, but it doesn't mean everything.

The ability mentioned here refers to professional skills. When you step into the workplace, you will find that your ability is not as important as you think, and it is not all the capital for your promotion. You will find that a person with less ability becomes your boss just because he has worked here for 10 years, which shows that "seniority" is your capital for promotion (this phenomenon is especially obvious in state-owned enterprises and institutions, so friends and civil servants working in state-owned enterprises should pay attention); Sometimes you will find that your ability is not so strong, but people who have a very good relationship with your boss are usually promoted-this shows that "relationships" are also capital. In my previous work, there are two particularly obvious examples. A man with rich work experience has a strong job-hopping ability, that is, he can't handle the relationship with his colleagues well, feels that he is very good, likes to take the initiative to be someone else's "mentor", always tells others what to do, and his immediate boss hates him; At the same time, the other lady who entered is not particularly strong, but she is practical and diligent, and she gets along well with other colleagues, so she can take care of the overall situation. At the end of the probation period, the woman was recognized by the company and the man received the notice of dismissal.

In the workplace, we must have a clear understanding of the workplace, don't live in a dream, don't be too idealistic, don't be unconventional, don't be arrogant, and don't think that you can travel all over the world if you have the ability. Professional skills are important, but the development of the workplace depends on a person's comprehensive quality. People with high comprehensive quality are "potential stocks" for career development. These comprehensive qualities include communication skills, interpersonal skills, teamwork skills, management skills, work attitude, professionalism and other "soft power". For some friends, they may be dismissive of these "soft powers". Many people will say, if the boss likes flatterers, should I wronged myself and learn to flatter? Unfortunately, I will tell you that the answer is yes. You must learn to kiss up, or you will suffer. But for the record, I am not teaching you to cheat. There is an idiom in China called "the outer circle is the inner side", which is used in interpersonal communication. In other words, when you get along with people, you should learn to properly handle all kinds of relationships, but you can't lose your inner principles because of this, otherwise it will deteriorate. Especially in a people-oriented society like China, we must practice our interpersonal skills. If you have time, watch Lala, get to know the social reality and don't lose yourself.

Third, we must have enough "sword" capital.

College students often tell me that after graduation, I must find a job with a monthly salary and try my best to achieve what position. At this time, I always patiently listen to their "grand blueprint" and then ask: "How can I achieve my goal? What is your capital? " Then he is speechless. I believe everyone who has read this article will have the same lofty aspirations as this college student, but after four years in college, have you ever wondered what your capital is to achieve these goals? For many friends who are already in the workplace, what is your promotion capital?

In the development of life, many times we need to show our strength to others without hesitation, dare to show it and be good at showing it. This is the "bright sword". Because these days, wine is afraid of deep alleys, and gold may not shine. On the contrary, it is broken glass and rotten bottles that shine. China lacks everything but people. The vast sea of people, if you have been humble and unknown, then you are all wet.

Now that we have the consciousness of "bright sword", the next step is to consider what sword to show: what capital should I show others? For friends in the workplace, where is the capital of your "sword"? Did your performance improve? Has your ability improved? How many books do you read a year that are beneficial to your career? How many training courses did you attend to recharge your batteries? If not, why did you ask your boss for a raise? By complaining? You will definitely be eliminated from the workplace in advance!

Fourth, be cautious about your first job.

This view is more meaningful for college students.

At present, the whole society, the media, experts and other units are advocating the argument that "employment first, then career choice" did not exist this year, but appeared many years ago, and it has appeared repeatedly. I believe that many people will believe this when we graduate from college, right? Who cares, ride a donkey to find a horse, find a job to earn money to fill your stomach first!

But according to my own experience and the reality of my career development, I absolutely disagree with this statement. I believe that most friends with poor career development are also related to their first jobs, right? As the saying goes, "men are afraid to get into the wrong business, and women are afraid to marry the wrong person." If you make a mistake at the first step, you will often make mistakes later. As the saying goes, one step is wrong, one step is wrong. Why is the first job so important?

There are three reasons:

1, preconceived ideas. Specifically, the words you hear first or the impressions you get first often occupy a dominant position in your mind, and it is not easy to accept different opinions in the future. Take the simplest example: in your impression, Nokia is already synonymous with it. If one day Nokia produces a "Nokia brand computer", how will you feel in your heart? Something is very wrong, isn't it? This is a preconceived phenomenon. I used to have a colleague who used to work in Haier. She uses Haier's, which has a good function, but she keeps saying that she wants to change it. I asked her why, and she said that she always felt uncomfortable with a big refrigerator in her pocket. Why? The first impression is the most lasting! Don't underestimate this phenomenon, in fact, it has a great influence on people's subconscious. Haier's computers, computers and other IT products are not doing well, partly because of preconceptions: Haier is generally regarded as synonymous with home appliances, not IT.

For college students looking for a job, this concept will also affect your future development. Your first job will have an impact on your future job. When you change jobs, your new employer will also judge whether you are qualified for this job through your first work experience. There was once a college student who wanted to plan after graduation, so he found one. When I first entered, I was assigned to the position of copywriter because of my good writing style. And the other person who went in with him at the same time was arranged in the planning position because of his poor writing. Later, she wanted to change careers for planning many times, but it was because of her previous work experience that she never had the opportunity to change careers.

You are not allowed to start all over again in the workplace. If you are recruiting an old employee with several years of work experience, it must be "relevant experience"! This is crucial! Because such employees generally do not need training, they can take up their posts directly, which will soon bring the greatest benefits. If you are a candidate who intends to change careers after working for a few years, it will generally not be taken seriously. First, it will not bring direct benefits. Second, training is more difficult, and your thinking has solidified. Instead of this, it is better to recruit a blank graduate with strong plasticity and greater development potential. Therefore, once you have work experience, it is quite difficult to change careers and start over. Unless the senior leaders you know have a chance, it's very difficult.

3. Time cost is not allowed. The first three years of entering the workplace are the most important and critical period for a person's career growth. If you still focus on the career change from riding a donkey to finding a horse at this time, you will waste your most precious youth, your growth will be slower than others, and you will lose many opportunities for promotion.

Therefore, the first job must be cautious. Looking for a job is like getting married. I'd rather not get married than get married indiscriminately.

If you have just entered the workplace for less than three years, I advise you to make a career plan as soon as possible, especially before it is too late. Once married, it's too late to make up for it!

Fifth, we should keep an "empty cup mentality"

Tell you a story. In ancient times, a man with profound Buddhist attainments heard that there was a venerable old Zen master in a temple, so he went to visit. When the disciples of the old Zen master received him, they were arrogant and thought, I am a person with profound Buddhist attainments. Who are you? Later, the old Zen master received him very respectfully and made tea for him. But when the water was poured, it was clear that the glass was full, and the old Zen master kept pouring. He asked inexplicably, "Why do you pour the cup into it when it is full?" Said, "Yes, since it's full, why pour it?"

What the Zen master means is, since you are already very knowledgeable, why did you come to me for advice? This is the story philosophy of "empty cup mentality". Its most direct significance is that a cup full of water is difficult to accept new things. Empty the "cup" in your mind, and completely empty many things you value and care about in your mind, as well as those glorious past. Only by emptying your heart can you put it down externally and have greater success. This is the most important mentality that everyone who wants to develop in the workplace must have. It tells us a truth: the premise of doing things is to have a good attitude first. If you want to learn more knowledge, you should first imagine yourself as an "empty cup" instead of being complacent.

I have met many college graduates. When they first entered, they often boasted about how they were at school, how they could find a better job and how they could come here. It seems that this family has wronged themselves. Here, I want to remind those college students who are about to enter the workplace: this mentality is absolutely not allowed! Don't think you are awesome. It's the same sentence you don't like to hear: China lacks everything but people! On the other hand, if you are so awesome, why don't you drop out of college and start a world-class enterprise like Bill Gates, Dell and Jobs? Trains are not pushed, cowhide is not blown. If you have the ability, prove it to others with facts instead of complaining all day!

For friends in the workplace, this mentality is equally important. China has a word called "open mind". As we all know, excellent people have high literacy, even open-mindedness, and they all have an inclusive mind. With such a mind, you will gain the respect of others in the workplace and get more development opportunities. Similar words include "no matter how clever a person is, he is stupid" and "clumsy". I don't need to say more, I will understand it myself.

Sixth, we should know a little common sense.

The workplace is like a melting pot. In the workplace, it is not only to earn a bowl of rice, but more importantly, to learn the truth of being a man. If you don't even understand the minimum truth, you will not only lose the respect of others, but also lose more development opportunities. Because, in China, interpersonal relationships are also productive forces. There's an old saying in China: When you get the word, you get more help, but when you get the word, you get less help.

I have met many people who have worked for many years, but they don't even know the most basic common sense of being a man. There are thousands of reasons to be a man in Qian Qian, but the most important ones are the following three:

1, be strict with yourself and be lenient with others. Have you ever had an unpleasant relationship with your colleagues? While criticizing others, have you ever deeply reflected on yourself? There was a problem at work. Did you put the blame on others? Can you accept other people's different opinions when they ask you? Have you ever responded to other people's accusations with a smile? Everyone has the instinct of self-defense, which is understandable. But while on guard, have you ever accepted others with an open mind? "Be calm and take a step back." When something goes wrong, if everyone can tolerate it, what will happen? Many people don't know the truth of "be strict with yourself and be lenient with others". It is precisely because many people don't know that people who know this truth are easy to succeed. A broad mind will allow you to accumulate a lot of contacts and gain everyone's respect; When you need help, everyone is willing to lend a hand. Be grateful to the person who hurts you, because he has honed your mentality; Be grateful to the person who stumbles you, because he strengthens your will; Be grateful to those who cheat you, because he has improved your wisdom; Be grateful to those who despise you, because they awaken your self-esteem; Be grateful to the person who abandoned you because he taught you how to do it. Treat everyone with tolerance and gratitude. As Mr. Li Ka-shing said, "There is room for everything, because people are human beings, people are not gods, and mistakes are inevitable. If you can forgive others, forgive them. "

2. Learn to listen. In life, we often take the initiative to find someone to talk to, be a talker and avoid being a listener. Listening is an indispensable aspect of interpersonal communication, and sometimes it is even more important than communication. Learn to listen, cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate temperament; Learn to listen, learn from others, and make up for your own lack of consideration; Learning to listen can inspire people and learn from others. Learning to listen can cultivate the good quality of respecting others and create a good humanistic environment; Learn to listen, you can feel a silent concern and consideration, and win affection, love and friendship; Learn to listen, but also when the contradiction intensifies, let the other side know themselves from another angle and open the deadlock. ...

Learning to listen is to learn a virtue, a cultivation and an tolerance. Never interrupt or interrupt others in the middle, otherwise it will be considered impolite and lacking in self-cultivation. A modest and studious person, a person who knows how to be kind to others, a person who can reflect, always know how to listen! At any time, listening is the embodiment of one's professionalism.

3. Be honest and trustworthy. Honesty is a symbol of strength, which shows a person's high self-esteem and inner sense of security and dignity. Society is full of mutual use and interests are paramount. In this case, honesty and trustworthiness have become priceless wealth. Only by being honest and trustworthy can we establish good interpersonal relationships, lay a solid career foundation and achieve solid achievements in life. And those who are duplicitous in appearance, face to face and behind the scenes can of course take a little advantage, but that short-sighted behavior will make you lose a lot of things slowly. Learn to respect others, keep your promises, try to help others, and tolerate others, all of which can enhance your integrity. The traditional virtues of achieving great things and being honest and trustworthy will never go out of date.

Bottom line: Do things seriously and be a down-to-earth person!

Seven, learn to abide by the rules of the game.

Why did I remind "fenqing" or "quasi-fenqing" not to read this article at the beginning of the article? Because most of them are Bohemians who won't obey the rules of the game! Many people will feel that the development of the workplace is not only restricted by various kinds, but also full of unfairness everywhere. For example, if you are late for work, the boss will deduct your salary, but you have never paid overtime; You weren't commended for your meritorious service, but once you made a mistake, the boss kept pointing at your nose and scolding you.

In this world, don't expect fairness. That's just a utopian ideal, which never exists in the real society. The relationship between employees and bosses is like a game. If it is a game, there will be a game plan, otherwise, the game will not be played. But who made the rules of the game? Of course, it is the boss, and all kinds of interests are also biased towards the boss! In the workplace, you won't like this phenomenon at first, but you must learn to accept the rules of the game slowly. Don't try to change this rule, because in front of the boss, you don't have much right to speak (many hidden rules are naturally formed for many years, and you can't change them). To put it bluntly, you are a part-time worker. It's not bad to make a living and give it to you, but it's too cold? You can leave if you don't want to do it. Again: China lacks everything but people.

Remember this sentence: "If you are not the maker of the rules of the game, you have only two choices: submit or leave!" " "

8. Actions are far more important than words. An empty talker is never a good doer.

Seeing this, everyone has about three reactions to the above content:

1), I think it makes sense. I will seriously reflect and take positive actions;

2) I don't need you to tell me these truths, it's pure "nonsense";

3) I feel that I know everything, but I have doubts: How many have I really done?

If you are the first reaction, I sincerely wish you success through your efforts; If you are the second reaction, I hope to have a chance to listen to your opinion, because you have "broken" the facts; If you are the third reaction, I hope you can take positive action. Sometimes the result is not what we expected, not because we don't understand, but because we talk too much and do too little. "Execution" is not only a problem faced by enterprises, but also a problem that must be solved in personal development. If you want to succeed, you must act now. As IBM said, "Stop talking and start acting!"

Nine, opportunities only favor those who are prepared.

No matter how much you complain, no matter how unhappy you are, you still have to eat, sleep and work. The future will always belong to you. Whether it's a child or a wife, the boss won't care about you because he has to bear the pressure himself. Instead of having time to complain, it is better to calm down, improve your basic skills, prove your skills with facts, and make others look at you with new eyes. Never be an "angry youth" who destroys his future because of your scholar's passion.

Of course, your preparation is multifaceted. In addition to professional skills, other auxiliary skills are also necessary, such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, management skills and so on. Of course, it is more important to make a plan for your future and clearly know what your goal is and how to work hard to achieve it. When appropriate, you should also save your strength. Don't be reluctant to part with half a month's salary. This is also an investment in your future. What's the reluctance? If you don't learn to give up now, you'll never get it later.

Sometimes, the reason why you don't develop well is not because you don't have the opportunity, but because you are not ready, which leads to the opportunity passing you by. This society is like this, no matter how unreasonable and unfair it is, development opportunities will always be faced, only to see if you are ready. If you really practice an impressive skill, maybe someone will ask you to be the president of a world-class company tomorrow.

Mr. Li Ka-shing once wrote a poem to inspire employees, which is thought-provoking. After reading it, he felt a lot. I put it here, hoping to encourage you!

When you dream of great success,

Have you worked hard to prepare?

When you are ambitious to be a leader,

Do you have humility to serve others?

We often want something,

But do we have emotional devotion?

We all want others to hear our voice,

Do we have the patience to listen to others?

Everyone wants to be happy,

Do we have compassion for people who are lost and sad?

Everyone wants to stand in front of others,

But do we know when to be successors?

You all know what you're after,

Do you know what you need?

We often just want to change others,

Do we know when to change ourselves?

Everyone knows how to criticize others,

But not everyone knows how to reflect on themselves.

Everyone values face,

Everyone wants to have wealth,

But do you know the meaning of wealth?

Dear students, I believe you all have all kinds of,

But do you know what love is?

The above is my personal experience of many years' work, and I hope it will help everyone. In June this year, when the prototype of this article was first published online, it caused a strong response. Only on the 19 floor, the click rate exceeds 100 times a day. Tianya's daily click rate is still above, and it has been reprinted countless times. The download volume of the resource center in Qigu is also more than 100 times. In view of the opinions put forward by netizens, I have processed and revised the article to make it more perfect. As an experienced person, I sincerely hope that working friends and college students who will soon be employed can also look at this article with an "empty cup mentality". Sometimes, the experience of people who have experienced it is very valuable, and it is a hard-won lesson they bought with time and money. "A word with you is better than studying for ten years." Although this article can't have such a great effect, I believe it is of some value to some friends.

I sincerely hope that friends who read this article can take action without making much contribution to society. All they want is that you can develop more smoothly in the workplace, get more salary, support children, support your wife and children, and be worthy of your parents.
