Have you started work today?
I have a habit of handing out year-end reviews on the first day I start work, because that’s the only day that truly marks the beginning of a New Year. I hope I can bring some subtle power on the first day of work, so that more people can have more courage to experience and realize their proud 2020.
2019 has been an exciting year. We experienced life and death at the beginning of the year and twists and turns at the end of the year. If summed up in a few words is “down down down up up up up up up up up up”.
The “life and death” of 2019 is the so-called car crash in early January.
A, courage,
The two words most thought about this year are courage and genes. In my public account, I talked a lot about genetic thinking, but not courage.
I rediscovered courage after reading the book Courage to be hated. The book is committed to let everyone live a happy life, the life in the book is what I yearn for, but it is contradictory with my thoughts and decisions. Courage is a word that seems to apply everywhere.
- You don’t have the courage not to give up
- You don’t have the courage to face the difficulties
- You don’t have the courage to change your life
- You don’t have the courage to make a better life for yourself
It’s not hard to see that there are many, many examples around. If you think deeply about his behavior, later you will find that he actually has no courage.
For example, I have been preparing for the interview in recent months. At the same time, I have met many friends who also want to change jobs, but they have many reasons not to prepare and learn. 【 I work overtime again today 】 【 oh, it’s still early to wait until years later start 】 【 didn’t write my resume, in wait 】 【 over the National Day I have started preparing 】 this may be associated with the execution of each person, but before the execution, you must first have: the courage to face the unknown, courage in the face of change, the courage to face interview. First have the courage, just more motivation to start executing.
Just one small thing. Not long ago, there was a fresh graduate, did our school entrance pen test. There are two written exams to choose from. He made the first one first. The description of the first question was a little complicated and not easy to understand, but the question was not difficult. When he saw it, he panicked and immediately changed it for a second one. In my opinion, the overall topic of the first paper is simpler. Even in the process of reading, he found that the first question was actually flawed.
Later, he contacted me and showed me the topic and questioned me. I wondered why he couldn’t just write an email to the interviewer afterwards telling them what the problem was and then discuss it. Why don’t you have the courage to question the wrong topic? Isn’t this a sad state of examination-oriented education? The written test of the interview ≠ the final exam, which is only a way for candidates to consider, does not represent the whole candidate. Every company will have a pen test question bank, which may not be carefully reviewed, there is a small probability that the question is not precise or the problem examples are wrong, you should have the courage to believe in yourself, dare to question. The same thing happened to me during this interview. What I do is immediately at the end of the interview, I write a detailed email and send it back to the interviewer, which is actually very good for you personally.
There are many more examples of such incourage, and I will not list them all. I, too, lacked courage in many areas. For example, I have no courage to face my failure. I am afraid that others will expect me, I am afraid that others will praise me, and I am optimistic about my future. I am afraid that I am fully prepared but still fail to achieve my goals. That’s why IT takes me three months to prepare for an interview and 17 comparisons to choose an offer.
Whenever I read such words, I am very afraid and worried, which is also the opposite mentality of the book. Not allowing yourself to fail is a very bad habit, I hope to correct it in 2020.
Second, money view
The ability to manage risk is important. This outbreak is also such a sudden accident that it can thoroughly test how countries, companies and individuals deal with risks. It was because of my failure on the road to Tibet in early 19th that I realized that I had no ability to cope with life risks. As a blessing in disguise, THIS year has been a better and more in-depth development of my “money concept”, from this year on, I can confidently ensure that I am able to deal with life’s unexpected risks.
In 2018, I worked as an intern and a formal employee for one year. I squandered the whole year with the mentality of spend as much as you can. The biggest improvement in this regard in 2019 was the adoption of the right “money concept”. This year, I learned and tried bookkeeping, insurance, funds, stocks and speculation.
I didn’t know what good bookkeeping was until this year. Found that if you want to establish a correct financial concept, everything should start with bookkeeping. When you have a solid understanding of your income and expenditure, you can better control your wealth through statistical analysis.
It is not hard to find from the data (March has just begun) that my monthly expenditure is actually around 7K. Whenever my monthly consumption reaches 5K or more, MY subconscious will start to restrict consumption, so as to buy assets for a more reasonable distribution of the remaining wealth.
Sometimes I really think the education of a family is very important. When I was a child, I only remember that my family said never to gamble or touch stocks, because there is no money to be made, and all your money may be eaten up in a flash. But it doesn’t. It is because of their concept of poverty that I have not had the “courage” to learn about wealth and financial knowledge for a long time. For money education, the earlier the better, for financial management, there is no wait until I have money, you can start to manage money at any time, and the correct “money concept” is the first step out of poverty.
2. The gift to 2020
Small dreams in life, always remember, no matter what you dream to achieve when you are young, what to do, please don’t think he is childish, don’t look down on him. Whether you were you in the past or you will be in the future, he will always be a part of you. Even as you grow up, you should be responsible for your younger self, realizing his little dream after little dream.
I grew up with a lot of ideas, dreams, bullshit. But I don’t want to abandon or forget my younger self. These ideas are like life in every age, parasitic in my brain, echo echo, they may be naive or difficult or unimaginative, but as long as it is possible to achieve, as long as it is valuable, I will not give up, slowly looking for opportunities to complete it.
Yes, in the last quarter of ’19, in the beginning of’ 20. I finally fulfilled this last little dream of my youth. I am not afraid of being laughed at, because I have no background and no ability since childhood, and I can not read clearly. And this last little dream is to join the best enterprise in China when I grow up, and make contributions to the human society with excellent people.
In fact, I had a very good chance to do it back in college, even right after graduation. But there are more important things in my life than my dreams. That could be the connection between people, the beautiful stories that can be created between people. Because of these people and events, I took a few detours on a predictable straight line. These detours did not affect my goal, and I knew that my goal would be achieved sooner or later. But the paths brought back so many wonderful memories, and a life full of stories was exactly what I wanted.
It’s not too late to achieve this goal at the age of 25, but I think it’s a wonderful opportunity, a wonderful turning point, a perfect beginning for the next chapter.” I wasted 2 or 3 years to create and express these stories. The memories it brought to me are far beyond my goal and beyond the existence of this little dream.
There will be many surprises, gains and growth this year, but they will be less important. Finally, I would like to end with this line, to give us the hard 2020.
