The film "The Devil Wears Prada" tells the story of a girl who has just graduated from school and wants to become a reporter. After searching for a job without success, he accidentally runs into top fashion magazine "Skybridge" to their editor-in-chief Malinda. excellent career and fashion expert.
The queen who wears Prada in the film and the editor-in-chief of the top clothing magazine, Malinda, starts off with four cups of coffee each morning. He pursued perfection, needle-soft, fierce, and sharp and capricious. Malinda's career has made her shine, but her frequent divorce marriage was unable to provide her twins with a warm home, which made her feel sad.
Whether in a male-dominated world or on our own journey, we value what we have. Much like in Malinda's career, she chose to sacrifice love, friendship and affection for it. Life is hard to have both goals.
This isn't really the case, and it's enough to make us think more deeply. Whether it's a passive abduction driven by the outside environment or a subconscious self-abduction, our kidnapped life is enough to make us think deeply, what do we really want?
Of course, the experience of young White Andy promotion at work and the peak of Malinda's career, is also very instructive to witness the evolution of the workplace.
1. Regarding the position at work: not only industry status, but also awareness of professional thinking.
Every famous brand has a specific market position, just like the world famous brand Prada, its passion is "women are self-development"!
The devil's archetype in "The Queen Wearing Prada" —Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue magazine, once said: I hope my readers are energetic, independent, and growing on their own. Women who have money and love live and yearn for taste.
Prada's soul is very precious. Only if a brand is rich in soul can the brand last for a long time, and will also have a certain positive effect on some people.
The professional thinking of a professional employee reflects his professional level.
The professional level means that, in general, most majors appear to be of very low level, but geniuses with professionalism can make it a very high level.
This is what we often say in everyday language, the public watching the joy, the members watching the threshold.
When the layman Andy wore a blue sweater and laughed at two seemingly identical blue belts, the professional and genius Malinda said to him: "In a certain issue of our magazine, a designer in sky blue is published on the cover. Colored dress. Later, a sky blue dress like. it showed up at several designer conferences. Then it thrived in big upscale stores, department stores, and low and mid-priced kiosks around the world. So, one day, you'll be here. I bought this blue sweater in a drop in shop price chain. You think you have nothing to do with fashion, and fashion doesn't matter. The fact is, many seasons ago, the people in this room made choices for you. "
Therefore, as a professional, you must first of all have a sense of professional thinking. If you think a job is simple and meaningless, take a look at what top professionals do for it, and you'll know what you have to do. .What.
Malinda's words really took Andy by surprise, and Andy immediately asked his partner Doug to help him choose clothes, from the soul to the outside, that incorporated professional fashion elements.
2. Whether workplace difficulties are a crisis or a turning point: Because I love all difficulties, that is the way to solve them.
On a stormy night, Malinda, who is on a business trip, asks Andy to find himself a private plane to get home on time.
Andy tries his best to find the plane, but does not fulfill Malinda's wish.
Andy is humiliated by Malinda, and runs up to his partner Doug, crying: Why am I working so hard to do the right thing without a thank you? If I do something wrong, I have to attribute all the mistakes to myself!
This kind of talk is often heard by young professionals at work, it seems like all our unhappiness and complaints are being persecuted by big people!
Doug responded to Andy very calmly and said: "OK, then you can go. You thought you were working as hard as you could, but really you were just facing it, not working hard. So many people are working hard on this. Because, you don't care. about it. Instead, you want your boss to kiss your forehead and reward you with a five-pointed star. "
When you love work, there is no such thing as difficulty, only solutions; when you are forced to be involved in a job, there is no such thing as achievement, only full of hardship.
Malinda stands at the top of fashion, the pinnacle of the industry. Many people stood far away, stared at him with their feet raised, saw him giving directions, arrogantly and indifferent to the efforts of others.
Malinda is like a hard shell metal, shining with indifference and a harsh light, so that the workplace students accuse and complain about the cold. Those in the same group that had been defeated by him, with their own intolerance and grievances about the cruel reality, also pointed the finger at him. Newspapers selling well for their harsh comments about her divorce. People prefer to peek at the dark side of the shining person to satisfy their psychological imbalance.
If Malinda's treatment of Andy, colleagues and friends is cruel and selfish, then our accusation in the name of compassion and justice is not human weakness and selfishness?
Malinda only tells the newbies at work privately that if you want to be successful, you have to work hard. For work that feeds us and gives us dignity and honor, we must treat it with seriousness and respect. This is the king's way.
An ordinary girl, who wants to achieve something, must respect her own work, she has to pay more effort than others, and inevitably will be recognized by her boss and customers.
Andy devoted himself to understanding deeply about what the fashion industry is, and won the trust of Malinda as his first assistant.
3. Regarding career promotion: “I don't have to choose”? Who is this hard work for?
With Andy's career promotion, Andy and his girlfriend stayed away.
Andy found this unsatisfactory but enviable job. For the sake of work, he sacrificed his personal life and the happiness of his family. She can't join casual parties with her friends, and she can't give her boyfriend whole-hearted birthday parties.
Andy's phone keeps ringing, and the inseparable variety of social entertainment makes Andy face his girlfriend's disappointed expression, and his explanation to her is "I can't choose" at the same time.
Her boyfriend's response still amazes Andy: Inside, you will choose whoever you think is important.
When my dad and Andy ate together, he took money out for Andy and asked him to pay rent. Andy's family support system has given Andy a lot of thought about his career choices.
What did Andy want? Is it the wind and rain at work? Or love of work itself?
When Andy privately tells Emily that he is replacing Emily to go to Paris Fashion Week, the place Emily has been dreaming of, the vicious competition at work makes Andy's humble heart inject the victories of the brave. Law of survival.
On the other hand, when Emily shouted angrily: "Get out!" But that was also when Andy was proud of his career, but also when his friendships were lost.
The film tells us that work and life are not only about struggling but also getting results.
Along with one's advantages and disadvantages, one must not only appreciate resilient and positive values, but also face the selfish and defective human nature, and the cruelty and cruelty of life.
Just like a hardworking bee, "Apart from the flat land and mountain peaks, an infinite landscape is occupied. After all the flowers are gathered into honey, it is sweet to anyone who works hard."
A person's hard work seems full of sights, but he knows the joys and sorrows.
4. Be your own queen: or brave forward, or forward or backward, follow your heart.
Malinda is desperate and hurt because her husband is divorcing himself and cannot provide a warm home for his children. At that time, the queen of industry, who had reached the pinnacle of professionalism, like a grieving and helpless child, was waiting for someone to comfort herself. When Andy asked Malinda what she could do for him, Malinda immediately replied that it was your job.
Malinda can be proud because of professionalism, or cry for love; Malinda can be restless because she can't keep up with the children's shows, or she can turn things around because of the weaknesses of her subordinates.
This is Malinda, her head shining brightly, and her head bowed with joy.
When Andy left "Skybridge" magazine as his right hand man, Malinda gave him a valuable letter of recommendation.
After resigning, Andy Lu met Malinda. After a hint of sympathetic smile, Malinda said "go" without hesitation, showing her life choice.
There are many areas in life, such as career, family, love, marriage, and friendship. We can't do both, but we can choose to reach the highest in what we can control. You are our own queen.
Andy dared to enter a job, and quit that job too brave. The real king didn't want to do anything, but was able to bravely retreat without a hitch when he reached the top.
Andy finally gives up a job that other people seem to have a bright future with, goes back to his casual clothes, and gets a new job at the newspaper.
Of course, a female reporter or editor may not be easy to do. Every profession has its own set of rules, and every industry deserves respect. As long as you like, as long as you invest, all adversity will make way for you.
In fact, to be who you really are is the real Prada queen. Prada is not just a queen in her body, a true queen must have absolute faith in her bones and spiritual abundance.
I hope that every white youth at work has a unique dream and life. Be your true and independent self, let your every effort reflect the light of your soul.
You are the real queen!
