When ordinary people say that they are 60 years old, they are definitely old and should retire. However, Xu Li of CCTV did not have that sense of old age, and when she retired, everyone still thought that this sister could work for a few more years, and she did not expect that she was 60 years old. Those who think about drilling camp every day may not be able to laugh to the end, and the rank position is not as important as imagined. If one strives to improve oneself, one appears young and is respected by others. If you want to be an officer, you must have a bit of the spirit of "but do good deeds, don't ask about the future".
01
About "fire weather". Many people feel that their boss is a stumbling block in their own development. In fact, where is the key problem? It's that you're not on fire yet. The heat sounds abstract, but what is it? In short, it is recognized that technical and tactical strength determines a person's play on the battlefield, in peacetime, it is not easy to see, but it does not matter, it can make you go far.
There is an actress named Xiong Dailin, Uncle Bo has seen real people, looks very graceful and luxurious, but if you recall her personal label, what can you think of? One is Aaron Kwok's ex-girlfriend, the second is Ip Man's heroine, and three, what about other works? Gone.
She doesn't have a large number of mature works, no masterpieces, so it is easy to be forgotten. So when it comes to fire, the first point is whether you have a lot of works that can support your status, and if there is not or very little, it is impossible to build or maintain your status, so most people are short-lived in the workplace.
It is also said that the entertainment industry, Li Yapeng, has a representative work, and it turned out that he was also a person who played Guo Jing, why did he do business later? This brings us to the second point of the fire: the nature of the mind. Mentality determines a person's development in the workplace, if the heart is impetuous, you have done a big project or brilliant work for a while, you have been praised, and you will start to think about when to promote me? When will I be able to take charge of the big picture? That would be too hasty and counterproductive.
This brings us to the difference between working and reading. When I was studying, I was destined for life. As long as you are well prepared, one exam can immediately make you stand out from the crowd. Therefore, up to now, the system of selecting materials by examination has been questioned and criticized. If it is always a test for life, and not a test, then all people will be eager to make quick gains.
Is the one in the school useful? You have to look in two. Academic bully thinking only looks at the results and results, resulting in excellent students may not be able to gain an advantage in the competition. But on the other hand, the way of thinking that lays the foundation for the sake of achievement is worth advocating, because breaking the rush to achieve quick success requires learning to lay the foundation first.
In the workplace, there are two groups of people. One faction is called the techno-tech school, and the other is called the interpersonal faction. The former chassis is firmly tied, and the key moment does not drop the chain, which can be worthy of a big responsibility. The latter superficially looks like the relationship with all parties is full of flowers, but in fact it is paper paste, and when the typhoon comes, it immediately falls apart.
But let's not be blinded by the appearance, some of them look like a technical school on the surface, but in fact, there are many empty stomachs; on the contrary, one looks at the past as a relationship faction, and there are actually a lot of people in the stomach who actually have something in their stomachs. The entertainment industry often sets up people, such as learning to bully, hegemony, it is likely to give people this impression to harvest goodwill and attract traffic.
But whether you have the real ability, after things will be tested, at this time it is difficult to end if you miss the horse's foot. You take a vocational qualification certificate and learn a vocational skill, and under the same conditions, your chances of achieving a career transition are much greater.

A small question arises: what is something that others can never take away?
Wealth is it? Definitely not. Is the position? That's even more wrong. What is that? It's a skill. That's the difference between mediocrity and excellence in the workplace. So how do you get the skill? Gather armpits into a coat, accumulate less into more, and make good use of your fragmented time to persevere.
Like Uncle Bo is now in graduate school, watching an episode of online classes every day. You can also watch one episode of training material a day, take advantage of the time to brush your teeth early, and use the fragmented time to incorporate learning into your daily routine. The key is to put down your body, not to underestimate these small pieces of knowledge, to be down-to-earth, like picking an ear of wheat, and incorporate them into your knowledge system one by one.
By extension, when you use the power of the unconscious and long-termism to integrate many things into your daily life, it becomes extra easy to stick to them. Maybe everyone knows that consciously insisting on something will make you feel miserable because you have to fight against your nature.
But unconsciously doing it is completely different, just like muscle memory, when a small thing becomes a habit, two days a day can not see the change, January and two months are slightly different, a year or two years of skill gradually increased, if you insist on a longer time, in the long run there will be a qualitative leap. Career is so, so is the body.
For example, what is the radio station, when Uncle Bo is fine, he will soon be able to record two paragraphs. Another example is swimming, while thinking about things and swimming inadvertently complete the target lap. Like a snail eating, you wouldn't think that such a small body could eat so many things. Why? Unconsciously, slowly nibbling, over the years you can nibble on an amount you can't even imagine.

Speaking of workplace skills, you are suppressed by your boss and unable to break through, what is the key? It's your business chassis that's not firmly anchored. Take "Ideal City" as an example. Where is Su Xiao's core competitiveness? It is a strong business ability.
How strong is it? Able to follow the boss's boss Wang Jiao in the same line of thought, the same frequency resonance. Why strong? Because I have studied the business thoroughly. Every day in the business, you will be obsessed with this matter: can this business make some new improvements? Invest in the birth of a profession, and you will be appreciated by your boss.
Chen Siming's business You say no? It is certainly OK, but compared with Su Xiao, it is not professional enough. This is the difference between a master and a top. No matter how old you are, as long as you slack off your business, your judgment of cutting-edge new things will be insensitive and will be biased. The subordinate is not even willing to talk to you about the business, because as soon as he talks, he finds that your cognition and understanding of the business is a very superficial state, and he will have a backbone.
You must continue to be forward-looking or ahead of one or more levels of the business in order to convince subordinates with absolute superiority. Therefore, we must save ourselves three times a day and constantly maintain our own business level at a relatively high level. Staying at that stage of business 30 years ago will definitely be eliminated by young people.
Let's talk about Xu Li, why everyone thinks she looks quite young is because she has been fighting in the same trenches as young people. What people tend to get old? Once you relax and lose your fighting state, you will become old. Once you feel that the revolutionary career has reached its station and there is no pursuit, people will become dispensable and no longer have a sense of existence. In fact, people are very practical, depending on how much benefit you can contribute to him, and then decide the distance between you. Whether it is the reciprocity of resources in public or private, it is actually a relationship of interest.
In the second half of the episode, we will talk about the matter of backbone, the ability is not enough to make up for it, and it will never be respected.
