Introduction: What should you do when you don't want to go to work anymore?
Today is Sunday, and it is also the first working day after the Qingming holiday.
In the face of the upcoming work, some people are full of energy and quickly enter the rhythm of work;
There are also people who are still stuck in the fatigue of the holiday, tired and tired, and completely unable to keep up their spirits;
Others start to get upset when they think about the work pressure they are about to face, and they think about whether to quit their jobs......
In the adult world, work is always an unavoidable problem.
When you don't want to go to work anymore, ask yourself these 3 questions.
Do I not want to go to work, or do I not want to work?
Many people often confuse going to work with work. Actually, working and going to work are two different things.
What is the difference between the two? Chen Danqing once said this on the show:
"I hate going to work, but I love it, and I do it all about me, and I'm like a bug, I get up and go to work, and I work until I go to bed. But I don't want to go to work, and I believe most people are disgusted with work, not work. ”
Indeed, going to work is task-driven, you are pushed, you work for the company, you pay for the labor, and the company pays you accordingly.
And work is self-driven, this drive does not need external motivation, it is completely a love from the heart, and it is to fight for one's own life.
You may have heard the story of three stonemasons. There are three stonemasons who are working. Someone asked: What are you doing?
The first stonemason said, "Don't you see, I'm working." In order to mix food.
The second stonemason said: I want to build a house, I want to be the best stonemason.
The third stonemason proudly said, "I'm building a cathedral, I'm going to build a home for God."
They are all stonemasons, and they are also sculpting stone statues, but their mentality is completely different, some people see it as a burden, some people see it as a way to make a living, and some people see it as a lifelong pursuit.
Rockefeller, the oil magnate, said: If you regard work as a pleasure, life is heaven, and if you regard work as an obligation, life is hell.
Heaven and hell are built by themselves. If you feel that you are only working to support your family, that you are forced to go to work, that you are working for your boss, and you are disgusted, then no matter what you do, you will feel miserable.
However, if you give meaning to your work, no matter how big or small it is, you will feel happy. Because, you know, work is there to shape you, not consume you.
Is work an end or a means?
I said before that half of a person's happiness is work and half life. If you don't enjoy your job and you go to work just to get a salary, then you will be very miserable and will lose that half of the happiness of your job.
Kazuo Inamori believes that work is not only about pursuing performance, but also about improving people's hearts.
Rockefeller, the oil magnate, believed that work is an opportunity to discover oneself, and that the reward we get for our labor is not what we get, but what kind of person we ultimately become.
I also think so, work is not just a means of making a living, work is to cultivate the truth through falsehood, and it is we who achieve it. We're not working for our bosses, we're working for ourselves.
There is a story: Charles Schwab is the founder of Bethlehem Steel, the third largest steel company in the United States. He was born in rural America and received only a brief schooling.
At the age of 18, Schwab went to work on a construction site owned by the steel magnate Dale Carnegie.
While others are complaining about tiring work, low pay, and slacking off as a result, Schwab works meticulously and hides in a corner by himself, teaching himself about architecture.
The manager saw this scene and was curious: "What are you doing here?"
Schwab said: "I don't think there is a shortage of workers in our company, but a lack of technical personnel who have both work experience and professional knowledge, right?"
Some of the workers sarcastically ridiculed Schwab, replying: "I'm not just working for my boss, I'm not just trying to make money, I'm working for my dreams, I'm working for my own great future." ”
With this belief, Schwab continued to improve himself in his work and create greater value, and finally he established his own company and truly completed the leap from a part-time worker to an entrepreneur.
Work is the means, life is the goal. Everyone is aiming for happiness in life all their lives, and work is just a process goal, and it should never be regarded as a result goal.
Work is for a better life, and when life is comfortable, work will be more handy. And this is the virtuous circle that every professional should achieve.
Is leaving really the only option? or is it an escape option?
Some people don't want to go to work when they encounter a little pressure at work and choose to leave their jobs. When I met a leader I didn't like, I also chose to leave. I was a little wronged and chose to resign.
They always feel that it would be nice to change the environment, change jobs, change cities, and meet some new people, and they can change the current status quo.
However, without a plan, leaving a job on the spur of the moment is equivalent to escaping.
Escaping will not solve any problems. In this world, there is no kind of suffering that can be solved by escaping.
Similarly, 99% of the problems you encounter at work cannot be solved by quitting.
There is no job that is not hard and not aggrieved, and the problems you encounter in this company, the difficulty of changing companies is still there, and it may even be more difficult than now.
If you don't think the job is stressful and incompetent, the next company won't lower its standards and let you make money lying down.
If you meet a colleague you don't like, there will still be someone at the next company who will go toe-to-toe with you.
Kazuo Inamori said: "If you don't want to solve a problem if you don't want to solve it, but just run away, then you will encounter the same problem in your future work." ”
So, when you don't want to go to work and want to leave, you might as well ask yourself: Is leaving really the only option?
The weak avoid the problem, and the strong solve the problem. Instead of relying on resignation to escape the problem, it is better to bear the pressure and concentrate on cultivating your ability.
When you're more capable and your wings are stiffer, anywhere is the backdrop for you to spread your wings.
Finally, to sum up: in the adult world, work is not a multiple-choice question, but a fill-in-the-blank question. When you don't want to go to work anymore, ask yourself three questions: Do I not want to go to work, or do I not want to work? Is work an end or a means? Is leaving really the only option? Or is it an escape option?
