Workplace Planning: Keep Looking, Don'T Pause.

Many people are wondering what they should do all their lives.

As the old saying goes, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

In modern society, men are not afraid of marrying the wrong wife.

Not only men are afraid of going wrong, but women are afraid of being wrong.

The consequences of wrong entry are three:

First, it is not easy to make money.

Since the row is wrong, it is wrong fit (human post mismatch), not right fit (human post matching); it is not right fit, it is difficult to have outstanding performance; without outstanding performance, progress is slow; progress is slow, and income is limited.

Second, it is not easy to be happy.

Time is equal to everyone. It's 24 hours a day. It takes half the time to eat, drink, sleep and sleep. It has 12 hours left. 8 hours are all at work. Plus overtime, many people spend their waking hours in their work.

So choosing a career basically means choosing a lifestyle.

Especially in China.

Third, it is not easy to self actualization.

For example, if Einstein really was invited to the Israeli presidential election, and Einstein, who really respected him, was really elected, then the biggest possibility is that the world has a bad president and a genius physicist.

If Einstein was "motivated" to become a president from a young age and embarked on career development in politics, the great physicist would become depressed and frustrated because it was hard to find his greatness.

Someone who has the wrong career is because he doesn't understand the industry.

I remember when I first entered a class meeting of the psychology department of Peking University, the theme was that people who took psychology as their first choice shared the choice.

I find that most of your choices are based on the misinterpretation of this major.

The mistakes of career choice caused by ignorance are relatively easy to avoid.

The best way is to ask successful people, mediocre people, depressed people who have worked for many years, listen to what they say about the industry, and then make a choice.

More people are wrong because they do not know themselves.

If we compare careers to ships, everyone's core professional values are like anchors.

Edgar Sean (Edgar Schein) has written a book called career anchor, which divides people's career anchor into 8 categories.

Career Anchor one: Technology / function.

"I got a doctorate and I have a certain academic position.

Management is very tiring.

Don't let me work. I want to be a chemical expert. "

Those who think alike are those.

Career Anchor two: management capability.

"I like making decisions and not taking risks.

I'm not afraid of offending people.

I hope to be the general manager in the end.

Those who think alike are those.

Career Anchor three: creativity.

"I can't let my creativity be consumed in the daily chores of the enterprise. I want a broad application."

Those who think alike are those.

Many entrepreneurs belong to this category.

Career Anchor four: independence.

It's the most unbearable thing for me to be accused of being accused of having to install grandchildren.

So I am now a freelancer, providing consulting for human resources in enterprises. "

Those who think alike are those.

Many entrepreneurs belong to this category.

Career Anchor five: protection.

"I need steady work to take up the responsibility of supporting my family and at the same time I am engaged in hobbies.

So I choose to work in government agencies.

Those who think alike are those.

Career Anchor six: Service / dedication to a cause.

"Helping others in their careers (poverty alleviation and environmental protection) is most meaningful."

Those who think alike are those.

Career Anchor seven: simply challenge yourself.

"I often change jobs because of boredom."

Those who think alike are those.

Fortunately, there are many career options, enough for such people to play for a lifetime.

Career Anchor eight: quality of life.

"I do not want to sacrifice the quality of life for career development."

Those who think alike are those.

This kind of person is an alternative to the crowd. They will lay down their work for a few months or even one or two years and then pursue their hobbies.

In order to recognize your career anchor, you may as well take the seat.

Because everyone's self-knowledge is different, plus the influence of outside propaganda, it's not easy to sit in the seat.

Although it can not be said that "three years old, seven years old," but to find the real self, memories of childhood may provide some clues.

Those who find true love often reappear their way of life in the kindergarten: children who are playing away from children alone and playing with sand are now mostly freelancers; children who play the rules and lead them to play are now the leaders; children who dare to go deep into danger and take risks are now doing business.

Success is second to none.

Sometimes, we feel old. Now that we have chosen, we should continue to do so.

But every one of us can only live a lifetime, or listen to Steve Jobs's Keep looking, don t settle..
