Many people have asked me: The current working environment is too comfortable, like a stagnant pool, should I change my job and go out and have a look?
The reason for sharing this is because I want to tell you that there are always some people in the world who are trying to change themselves, constantly tossing and forging ahead. The courage and enterprising spirit in them is worth learning.
Such people are often easier to achieve success, and are more likely to see a different world and have a different life.
However, this does not mean that having a stable job is so bad, and that a stable job must not be done.
I have found that many people mistakenly believe that a stable job is a stumbling block that hinders their progress and is the source of their decadence.
This perception is very narrow.
In fact, what truly abolishes a person and affects a person’s growth and progress is never a stable job, but a solidified thinking and a heart that is at ease with the status quo.
1. Stable work is not a scourge
In the concept of the parents, stability is an important criterion for judging the quality of a job. The vast majority of parents hope that their children can have a stable job and ensure income from droughts and floods.
I don’t know when, young people began to despise and despise stable jobs. Why did such a change happen?
I think there are two main reasons.
- 1.A stable job often means getting a fixed income, and this fixed income is usually not very high, and it is often unable to keep up with the pace of rising prices. Over time, this fixed income may not be able to meet the needs of life.
- 2.A stable job often means that you can see the end of life at a glance. This is not in line with the pursuit of young people today, who are eager to realize their self-worth.
In other words, a stable job is lackluster in terms of income, and it does not help realize the pursuit of life. In this way, it is not difficult to understand that stable work is despised by some aspiring young people.
In fact, everyone is ultimately striving for stability. Those who work hard and continue to toss are actually pursuing stability, but the stability they pursue is more advanced, safer, and less restrictive, which allows them to have a lot of autonomy.
Therefore, stable work has never been a scourge, it will not really abolish a person and hinder a person's growth.
On the contrary, a stable job means that your life has basic protection, which can bring you a sense of security, and also give you more confidence and capital to do what you want to do.
2. Hardened thinking is the culprit that hinders one's growth and progress
In fact, what really hinders a person’s growth and progress is the wrong mentality, the solidified thinking and the lower level of cognition.
If a person is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress, no matter where he works, whether it is a foreign company, a private company, or a self-employment, he will not achieve much in the end, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in his career.
On the contrary, as long as you have an enterprising heart and a desire to climb upward, no matter how stable your work is, it will not hinder your growth and progress.
Stable work is not terrible, but solid thinking is terrible.
So, what are the concrete manifestations of solidified thinking?
1.Refuse to learn and change.
In fact, if you want to gain true stability, you must have the ability to keep pace with the times.
One of the criteria for judging whether a person is not enterprising and whether his thinking is solidified is to see whether he can continue to learn and grow, and whether he is actively seeking change.
Why do some companies that were once the best in the industry but closed down overnight? Why do some people start from a very high point, but it is always difficult to make breakthroughs and become more mediocre?
The most fundamental reason is probably that they refuse to learn and grow, and refuse to change.
For example, you run a physical store, and e-commerce continues to impact the traditional retail industry. If you cannot keep up with the times, make quick adjustments, and stick to the traditional business model, you will sooner or later be eliminated by the market.
As small as a person, a team, and as large as an industry, in this era of rapid change and development, if you refuse to learn and grow, and refuse to change, it will be difficult to go far.2.Lack of worry awareness.
The characteristic of stability is that there are few variables. Since there are few variables, it is easy for people to take it lightly, lack the sense of worry, and fail to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
This is also the fundamental reason why stable jobs are considered by many to be a stumbling block to their learning and growth. Once a person lacks a sense of worry, he often does not take the initiative to learn, and usually loses the motivation to struggle.
