If you want to be rich, you must first be valuable.
In a world-renowned semiconductor company, there is a very interesting little assistant.
Others go to work like a grave, but he is like a chicken every day.
No matter how difficult or challenging the task is, he never flinchs, never shouts tired, and completes it with quality and quantity.
Many times, other colleagues have already complained that he is still unsatisfied.
Many people are puzzled by this, why is he addicted to work?
The little assistant said, very simply, my career and the company's career are tied together.
In his opinion, if he wants to become an expert in the semiconductor industry, he can't do without the company's platform, and treating the company well is actually treating his future well.
Indeed, as soon as he entered the company, he became the company's "star employee" for 5 consecutive years, and finally overcame all the obstacles and became the executive vice president, and his worth increased hundreds of times.
This little assistant is George, the global president of the semiconductor giant Texas Instruments.
Writer Ma Yinchun said: When you treat the work you are engaged in, money will follow.
Work is the foundation of a person's life.
For most ordinary people, being kind to the unit and kind to the work is the beginning of you slowly becoming rich.

The writer once had a friend Xiao K.
She used to have a good job with a good salary, but life got worse and worse, and her money became tighter and tighter.
It turned out that the company's conditions were good, but Xiao K still got by every day.
It is common to be late and leave early.
The task assigned to her by her superiors is either to find an excuse to shirk it, or to delay it until the deadline and then hand it in perfunctorily.
When she encountered a difficult project, she was tired and tired, and felt that the leader was targeting her.
Once, a colleague approached her for an urgent project, but she couldn't find anyone anywhere.
I didn't reply to the message, I didn't answer the phone, and in the end, I really couldn't find other colleagues to help, so I didn't delay.
Hide if you have something, and paddle when you have nothing. After a few years, his ability has not grown, and his lazy skills have become more and more proficient.
The company laid off employees at the end of the year, and it was no surprise that she was laid off.
After being fired, she worked a lot of work, but none of them lasted more than a year.
Habitually perfunctory, complaining everywhere if she is slightly unsatisfactory, no company is willing to want her, and in the end she can only go home to gnaw at the old.
Qingxiao reluctantly said that a person's achievements are actually linked to his attitude towards doing things.
At work, every bit of laziness you steal has a price.
Don't dare to endure hardship, don't want to be tired, after a long time, the whole person will be abolished.
It seems that you have earned short-term happiness, but in fact, you have lost long-term growth.
A person who cannot achieve something in his work is also doomed to be unable to achieve prosperity in life.

When Alibaba was just getting started, Tong Wenhong was just a front desk for the company.
Not only do you have to do the work at the front desk, but you also have to do the administrative work, and you are usually tired and tired, but the salary is only 500 yuan.
The people who applied for the job with her hated that the salary was too small and there were too many things.
Either you will be a bad worker, or you will find an excuse to carry the burden.
Only she, not only did not complain, but took care of these two jobs very well.
In order to skillfully solve customers' problems, she started from scratch and learned all the company's business;
In order to improve work efficiency, she memorizes the schedules of her colleagues by heart, saving unnecessary trouble.
In just three years, she became an administrative director.
Later, Ali prepared to develop the logistics business and founded Cainiao Wrap.
Since this is a completely new field, there is no experience to borrow, and no one wants to take on this hot potato.
At this time, it was Tong Wenhong who took the initiative to take on this burden.
She puts all her time on it, signing talents, learning warehousing and logistics knowledge, and building a big data operation platform every day......
Under her leadership, the rookie was established less than three years ago, with a valuation of more than 100 billion, and Tong Wenhong was also worth hundreds of millions.
On the other hand, the same batch of people who came in with her were either optimized or still in their original positions.
I have to say that the unit is the amplifier with the best value for a person.
People who blindly complain and do not want to make progress will only stay at the bottom.
Constantly improve your work and do your work to the extreme, your value will be magnified tenfold or hundredfold.
When you become irreplaceable in the unit, your income and worth will also rise.

Senior book planner Zhang Baowen told a story.
Royer is an after-sales clerk and finally found a job he wants.
Unexpectedly, not long after joining the company, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
It turned out that the new product that the company had just developed had not yet been produced, and it was comprehensively suppressed by competitors.
New products are scrapped, all the investment in the early stage is lost, and now the company simply does not have enough funds for a new round of research and development.
After the news broke, the whole company panicked, and many colleagues have left the company.
Some of the colleagues who stayed behind are also submitting resumes everywhere, and they have no intention of working.
Some people advised Royer to hurry up and find another job, not to hang himself from a tree.
Roye also thought about it, but after some struggle, he decided to share the hardships with the company.
Although he came to the company late, the company treated him well, and he couldn't just leave.
So, he took the initiative to take the product R&D manager to find his university teacher, the most authoritative professor in the field of R&D at that time.
And persuaded the old professor and his R&D team to reach a cooperation with the company's product department to jointly develop new products.
Subsequently, he called on all after-sales personnel to organize and take the initiative to help old customers update and repair products.
Help the company to maximize the retention of old customers.
A few months later, the company launched a new product developed in cooperation with the old professor.
Due to its high quality and low price, the new products were very popular as soon as they were sold, not only helping the company tide over the difficulties, but also bringing in many new customers.
Royer was also promoted to marketing director by the company because of this contribution, and his salary increased several times.
Ken Everson, the founder of Nucor Steel, once said: Today you treat the unit well, tomorrow the unit will treat you well.
Units and individuals are essentially interdependent and mutually accomplished.
No matter which direction the black swan of the times strikes from, you will have the confidence to fight with the unit by uniting the front.
Resist the pressure and make achievements, and the unit will naturally not treat you badly.

When Feng Tang first graduated from Emory University and entered McKinsey, he was just a poor boy.
At the time, McKinsey was small, with just over two dozen people in the company.
Wages are not high, and the division of labor is not clear.
It stands to reason that he could find a higher-paying job to improve his standard of living.
But he didn't.
Since the division of labor is unclear, he does all kinds of work:
Strategize, adapt processes, and train employees......
If the fields are not divided, then he will get involved in all fields one by one.
He is responsible for the pharmaceutical and medical business, as well as the petroleum and billing systems......
Every day is busy, but he has no complaints.
In this way, after 6 years, Feng Tang has been tempered in all aspects.
He grows faster than his peers, can lead a team by himself, and is proficient in management, operation, training, and sales.
and became a global managing partner of McKinsey, worth hundreds of millions.
There is a good saying: if you want to be rich, you must first be valuable.
What seems to be boring and complicated work is actually the nourishment for our self-advancement.
Swords need whetstones to be sharp, and people need to be challenged to grow.
Take your work as your own career, constantly cultivate yourself, and polish yourself.
The stronger your comprehensive ability and the better your strength, opportunities and wealth will naturally collide with you.

Speaker Liu Yuanyuan told the story of employee Zhang Kaili settling in Beijing.
There are hundreds of people in the company, but only Zhang Kaili regards the company as her home.
She is willing to do what others do not want to do, and others only do their own work, but her work has no boundaries.
She is always sharing worries for the company, and she is always "can", "come on" and "do it".
The boss appreciates her and is naturally willing to give her a higher material reward.
I very much agree with the sentence: this world is very fair, nothing more than taking what you have in exchange for what you want.
And the unit is the best place for value exchange.
At any time, treat the unit well, do the work at hand, and constantly improve yourself, so as to create a great future in the workplace and career.
