There is a very interesting analogy: "Most people now live more and more like Journey to the West, the pressure of Sun Wukong, the figure of the Eight Precepts of the Pig, the baldness of the sand monk, the long-windedness of the Tang monk, the burden of the white dragon horse, and more tragically, it is getting closer and closer to the Western Heavens."
It sounds quite ridiculous, but this is indeed a living example in real life, and it is a true portrayal of many young and middle-aged people in struggle at present.
The American writer Johnson once said: "The only constant in this world is change itself." ”
If you can't adapt to change, "when the times abandon you, you won't even say hello." We are all too familiar with this phrase, but how many people can really understand and not be abandoned by it? Only those who can continue to learn and make progress in the midst of change can keep going.
1, only learning, can cure all unconfidence and anxiety.
Recently, CCTV host Nigmati and Sabine had such a conversation in the program "Hello Life", which is about the change of the times, self-confidence, anxiety, and feels very meaningful, and also gives many young people at the moment a good inspiration or wake-up call.
In the show, Sabine said: "We are getting less and less confident, to be honest. Sometimes, my kind of running, or release, is a kind of self-protection, to hide my lack of self-confidence. I am afraid that I can't keep up with the changes of this era, the changes are too fast, the amount of information is too large, and I am very anxious inside."
Host Nigmat said: "I use inferiority and retreat to cover up my lack of confidence, my lack of confidence is inward, many people may not believe it, but only I know." ”
The host, Nigmai, asked Sabine, "Do you like who you are now?" ”
Sabine was silent for a moment and replied: "It's not easy to say, when you are not confident, you don't like it, so you can only keep learning, don't dare not learn." Only by learning can we cure all unconfidence and anxiety!
Not confident, anxious, do a good job of learning this thing is enough.
Finally, Sabine also said that his children are almost two years old, and he is thinking about how to educate and train them in the future. He felt that telling them how much knowledge was not as important as teaching them a learning ability, and the knowledge you instilled in them was just the content that was put into the hard disk, but their own learning ability, which was their lifetime, was something that others could not take. ”
Yes, we think that the content in our heads is no longer enough, or it is no longer applicable, because the times are changing, and we can only keep learning. Everyone is living hard, even if they are such a good host as CCTV, they have times when they are not confident, but they can keep them so good until today, which must be related to their efforts no less than anyone else.6 And what reason do you have as an ordinary grassroots person in society not to study and not to work hard!
Only by constantly updating your knowledge and thinking and constantly learning can you keep up with the times, which is the best medicine to cure all unconfidence and anxiety.
2, your stagnation, in the end can only be out.
I saw a recruitment video on the Internet, a 35-year-old male graduate student with many years of overseas work experience returned to China to interview for a business position at a foreign trade company, because the salary would be higher, and finally did not get the opportunity. Because he actually has no experience in business development at all, nor has he learned the relevant business knowledge, he has been doing only the customer's after-sales work before, just sending emails every day, making a few phone calls to maintain the customer's work, there is no difficulty, a few years have passed, he will only work like this, and he has not learned other business capabilities, in the face of opportunities he can only let go, a returnee high-quality student, hard to get himself out of the game.
Seeing this story, many people on the one hand are "mourning their misfortune, angry at it", 35-year-old returnee graduate students will only do after-sales customer service such work, or a man, there are old and young, other will not.
I have a cousin, undergraduate graduate, work for 8 years, studied advertising design, did not do design after graduation, did not do teaching work in a counseling training institution, and then these 8 years have been in such an institution to change, did not go to a good way to improve their ability, so many years came, this year caught up with the country's double reduction policy, their institutional transformation failed and finally shut down, she is also unemployed, now are thirty, looking for a job is not easy to find, interviews for many company positions are not successful, Coupled with the fact that she herself has no other abilities and experience, it is more difficult to find a suitable good job.
There are too many examples like this, the world is progressing every minute and every second, and your stagnation is a kind of regression, and finally can only be abandoned by the times.
As small as an individual, as large as a company or brand, as long as you don't think about change and don't learn, the result is that you can only get out.
When Nokia, which was once popular around the world, was acquired by Microsoft, its CEO said a sentence that made many people feel sad and helpless: "We didn't do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost." ”
You are only entitled to stay where you are if you keep running. The only truth of survival is to keep working hard to embrace the changes of the times.
3, as long as you do not give up, no one can crush you.
No matter what age you are now, what kind of situation you are experiencing, you must understand, but also believe that the things that make you miserable are exactly where you turn against the wind, as long as you do not give up, no one can break you.
Before Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei at the age of 44, he was fired from the company for business failure, saddled with huge debts, and experienced divorce, so poor that his mother needed to go to the market to buy people's leftovers and dead fish and shrimp.
What I want to say is that everyone has experienced a difficult time before realizing their dreams and achieving achievements, or the life they want, but they have bravely taken one, two, and three steps with the spirit of never accepting defeat, and used a tenacious and persistent learning ability to keep up, and even catch up with the pace of this era.
4, anxiety, not confident, what to do?
First, set yourself a goal. Because the goal is your direction marker, with the direction, you know what to do next. People without goals will get by with life and work, and they will not think of making progress, just like boiling frogs in warm water. Those who have long-term goals have spent their whole lives working on their goals.
Second, conquer your own inertia. The most important point of setting a goal is to overcome their laziness, otherwise everything is zero, let yourself act first, the reason why many people hate and desire is because it is difficult to overcome their inertia.
Finally, the study of "sleeping and forgetting to eat". Set a goal, strictly require yourself to implement, to learn, to achieve a high degree of self-discipline, no matter what you learn, as long as it can make you closer and closer to your goal, make yourself better is right.
In an era where the word "fast" is the first, we need to have the ability to integrate quickly. This also highlights the value of learning ability.
As long as the goal is right and the efforts are in place, life is probably not far behind.
