I just saw another topic: why is "going to work is a waste of youth and life"?
There is a problem with this question, and its premise is that "going to work is a waste of youth and life".
In fact, going to work is not necessarily a waste of youth and life, it depends on what class you go to, what the input-output ratio is, compared to the cost performance of doing other things, and whether you like it or not.
Netizen "Grumpy sweet and sour pork ribs" commented: (This question) is a joke, going to work is to make a profit and earn wages. If one day, your profitability has greatly exceeded your salary, then your time at work is relatively lost. In this case, life is wasted.
Indeed, Bill Gates earns tens of thousands of dollars per minute from doing his own work, and if he comes to do your job, it may be 8,000 yuan a month, then it is a waste of time for him to go to your work.
Some netizens "You can call me Wolong" commented: If you don't go to work, you won't have money to waste your youth and life. But when you go to work, you have to work and waste your youth and life. Do you understand?
If you feel that you are wasting your life at work (at least you still have income), but you quit your job and go home and lie down (you have to gnaw at old age if you have no income and do not contribute to society), then you will waste your life.
In addition, if you have passive income (that is, if you don't work, you have other assets to give you a steady stream of income, such as Mingyue wrote a book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and there is royalty income every year, and the cumulative income is almost 100 million yuan so far), and this passive income is greater than or even far greater than your expenses, then you also have the conditions to choose not to work or do the work you like.
In this case, choosing not to work is called enjoying life, but it is not necessarily making good use of youth and life; and no matter what the circumstances, only when you do what you like and have value in society can you dare to say that you have not wasted your youth and life.
Another netizen "Takuya" said: Most people's work is just for salary and to go on step by step, and in a big way, it is just a grain of sand to promote social progress. If it's something you like, or something that can help you improve, it's not a waste.
Netizen "Bao'er" said: I think this wave is not wasted, it depends on how you go to work!
So, if you do what you love, then you are blooming your youth and enjoying life.
The biggest waste is to spend your life in a way you hate, which is the most failed life.
·Self-Order·
First of all, it is stated that this book does not intend to persuade people to resign, after all, everyone's specific situation is different, after all, I have been shouting that I am going to resign for more than ten years and have not acted.
This book mainly guides everyone to think about how to truly realize their own value and truly live the life they love by sharing and commenting on some articles and stories.
But we should also see a trend, which is that "employment is dying".
With the development of technologies such as the Internet and the Internet of Things, there has been a lot of talk on the Internet about "employment is dying, collaboration and symbiosis, and the future is a world of free men and partners". Luo Zhenyu advocated that human beings in the future should learn to survive in USB flash drives, that is, "bring their own information, do not install systems, plug and unplug at any time, and cooperate freely".
In addition, the advent of the era of artificial intelligence is a bigger trend, and many positions will disappear, and it will not be a matter of resignation, but of layoffs and layoffs. Before that, should we take precautions? Even if we don't resign, should we think about how to survive after resigning? Should we also maintain the capital and confidence to leave at any time?
As the saying goes, we have "completed the road that developed countries have walked in 100 years in 30 years", what do we rely on? I think that in addition to the factors of change, learning, and standing on the basis of others, there must be the hard work of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, such as "996".
However, if we want to achieve great rejuvenation, we can no longer rely on the traditional work model, but must transform the kinetic energy, that is, "the right person and the post".
Truth be told, not many people's jobs are "right for the job". This leads to the inability of human talents and passions to be fully released, which will inevitably lead to coping, slackness and mediocrity, inefficiency and even lying equality.
Therefore, how to let people exert the momentum they should have calls on us to think about our positions, otherwise, the position is "a useless and regrettable pit for you", and you are a misplaced material for the position of "occupying the pit and not collecting dung".
In addition, flexible employment is also a need for innovation. One of the important reasons for the economic decline of neighboring Japan is that they have a lifetime employment system, "job-hopping and dismissal are very serious points of social moral criticism, but this has put an end to the individual innovation ability of the society, and has also affected the work passion of a large number of individuals." If a country does not innovate, its economy will get cancer, and if a person does not create, his body and soul will fall into embarrassment.
I thought that only by going out, exploring, discovering, and creating, could we find our own position. Just like Lao Luo said, if you don't go out, you don't know how wonderful it is outside, and if you don't go out, you will never know all your social status and good feelings, which are given by the big Mac behind you, and which are self-crying.
I think that people should continue to accumulate in what they are good at, and get compound interest through time. It is necessary to regard life as a process of investment, and in addition to active income, there must be passive income, which is brought about by internal self-investment and external value investment.
Finally, I want to say that whether you have considered quitting your job, starting a business, or chasing your dreams, you should have the three abilities mentioned by Luo Pang, which can determine your future and determine whether you live a happy life, they are:
The first is the ability to make yourself awesome;
The second is the ability to make everyone around you willing to help you:
The third type is the ability to think openly even if it doesn't matter if it's not mixed well.
If you practice any of these three abilities, you will have a head start in life, and no matter what you are doing, you can be calm and unhurried.
