A philosopher once said: A person has two and a half friends in his life, one is a friend who sacrificed his life to save you, one is a friend who can help you, and half a friend who is not a downfall.
Treat people in the world, don't treat yourself too much as a person, and don't treat others too badly.
In the workplace, on the surface, it is to do things, but in essence, it is still to be a person.
If you will be a person, you will have more resources, and if you have more resources, you can exchange them, and your life will continue to appreciate in exchange.
People who are truly capable are not eating in one place for a lifetime, but having food everywhere and being human beforehand.
Introduction: When people reach middle age, do you dare to resign?
Midlife crisis, this is a real problem that all middle-aged people need to face.
The so-called mid-life crisis is that middle-aged people have become the pillar of the family, and they need to face a series of problems such as their parents getting older and their children going to school.
At this time, the middle-aged people are undoubtedly more depressed, all kinds of real life pressure oppress you breathless, work angry and do not dare to speak up, can only tell themselves to endure and endure.
Because once the words of departure are spoken, the price must be huge.
After all, all kinds of living expenses in the family need money, and leaving the job means no income, then the family will inevitably collapse, and these will drive you to become a "sinner", a crisis that most middle-aged people cannot bear.
This is also the reason why we people become extra cautious and careful in middle age, not seeking great wealth and nobility, but only seeking to live a stable life.
When people reach middle age, "carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years" has become our new life creed.
But whether you dare to leave your job or not, mainly depends on whether you have strong strength.
This strength means that even if you leave your job, you can find a satisfactory and good job as soon as possible, so as to support the life of the family.
In fact, the more middle-aged we are, the more clearly we can realize that there are fewer and fewer choices that can be offered to us, which of course has to do with our own competitiveness.
It is undeniable that as we age, our energy is not as exuberant as the younger generation, and our state is not as good as before.
But we must also see our own strengths, such as rich experience and work experience, which help to enhance our "bargaining power" in the workplace, and then turn the advantages into choices to help us have a stronger competitiveness in the workplace.
So what can we do to get through the awkward middle age period in the workplace? Here are some suggestions for you.
Have clear goals and do your best in everything
In middle age, we must have the consciousness of being middle-aged, that is, abandoning those lofty pursuits and unrealistic fantasies.
Instead, it is to face and deal with things with a down-to-earth mentality, identify the goal, and then do everything to the best of our ability, not touting or arrogant, only by doing so can we live out the wonderful middle-aged workplace.
Generally speaking, after working hard in the workplace for many years, we have long understood the nature of human nature driven by interests and changes, and we have our own way of dealing with people.
Therefore, when you see the middle-aged friends around you living a better life after jumping ship, although you are envious, you should not blindly follow suit.
Job hopping and leaving is a big thing, we must combine our actual situation to make a choice, otherwise it will be too worthless to "pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons" when the time comes.
Who says that in middle age everything is a foregone conclusion, it is too late to set goals, this is just the shackles you set for yourself.
The setting of goals is very important at any time, because the goal is like a weather vane for us to move forward, if there is no goal, we will inevitably slack off and take the wrong path, which will only waste time and increase regret.
In middle age, we do not have the capital of youthful madness and trial and error, we should have a mind of what kind of life we want to live, and then from the formulation of small goals to the establishment of large goals, step by step to work hard and achieve.
At the same time, remember to do everything to the best of our ability, leave no regrets, treat the gains and losses of life with a normal heart, and do not cling to some irreversible things, only in this way will we harvest the happiness of middle age.
Expand your network and seize development opportunities
If you reach middle age and don't have a certain amount of networking, it's a bit overwhelming.
The "network" mentioned here refers not only to the wide range of friends, but more importantly, the acquaintance and contact of outstanding talents in various industries.
Don't underestimate the network, it is a "life-saving straw" that pulls us when we fall into a trough or a bottleneck.
When you have not yet established your own exclusive "network of contacts", do not look down on and do not care.
Contacts need to rely on the sun and the moon to accumulate and operate step by step, and if you are not in a hurry, it is easy to be utilitarian.
Such obvious intentions of use, others are not fools, can detect it, when the time will inevitably alienate you, and finally you will "not reach the shore at both ends", but also fall into a bad name, so that it is not worth the loss.
The expansion of networks has never been enough, and there is no need to continue to expand for a day.
In middle age, you should make full use of the resources you can access to vigorously expand your network.
In the final analysis, China and the West are different, the West is a contract society, and China is a human society.
Especially in the workplace, it is even more important to pay attention to human feelings. For example, the same thing, different people to coordinate and deal with the results are not the same.
For example, Xiao A usually pays attention to the good relationship with colleagues, treats people warmly and politely, and helps as much as possible when others need help.
But Little B is not the case, usually only blindly do his own work, and rarely communicate with colleagues.
That when there is a project that requires the cooperation and cooperation of other colleagues, of course, Small A to communicate, others are more willing to cooperate to complete, and Small B is easy to eat "closed door soup".
Therefore, to expand the network to be based on the familiar understanding of human feelings, and then for different people we have to use different modes of getting along, and finally pay attention to the operation and management of the network resources that have been mastered, in order to achieve the goal of opening up new development opportunities with networks.
Dare to fight, exercise strong execution
When people reach middle age, whether they dare to leave their jobs or not, mainly depends on whether you have a tenacity in your body.
This tenacity is the courage and strong ability to resist pressure without fear of setbacks, dare to deal with challenges.
Although middle-aged workers mainly seek stability, they must not lose the courage to dare to fight and the "ambition" to open up a broader career map.
Middle-aged people can not be satisfied with the status quo, to develop a keen sense of market smell, always pay attention to the development of market dynamics, and then aim at the opportunity to attack, in order to seize the promotion or further development opportunities.
When it comes to the secret of success, the quality that must not be lacking is strong execution.
As it is said in "Song of Tomorrow", "I was born to wait for tomorrow, and everything will be in a bad situation."
We must not develop the habit of procrastinating everything, we must know that time is money, and execution is the key to success.
Only when you have completed your work can you have more personal time to improve your abilities in other aspects, so as to achieve all-round development and grow into an all-round talent.
One more skill, then when the opportunity comes, you can grasp it, and what unfolds is a completely different life.
