Time is not wasted, creation is not stopped, this article is participating in 2021 year-end summary essay contest”
I have been looking forward to this activity of Nuggets for a long time, because I have not started to write about preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination recently. Finally, I will share my 2021 with you on the evening of 29th.
About leaving a job and starting a business
I don’t know if you’re attracted to this headline, I admit it’s a bit clickbait, but it’s true.
Two and a half years after my graduation, how did I go from deputy director to department director step by step?
It was simple. I quit my vice president job and started my own business.
That’s right, those are my two big things for 2021.
Leave your job with a smile
I left my job happily in February.
After graduation in 2013, I gave up the offer of WPS and came to a third-tier city because of my girlfriend (now my wife) at that time. After that, I have been working in the same company for two years as back-end RESEARCH and development with Java as the language.
It took me about four months to become the vice president of software, and I didn’t actually have the vice president position before I came, but maybe the boss wanted to keep me, so he promoted me.
During my work, I got along with most of my colleagues very happily. The only problem was project management and team building.
The demand is directly raised by the boss. Usually, an idea is put forward in a meeting, and then the supervisor hands it off to another person without asking any questions. In the next meeting, the boss will see the result directly, and then the blame will be dropped on the spot, without any concept of project and planning.
I don’t care much about gains and losses, and I rarely care about the workload or difficulty, so SOMETIMES I am in charge of 6 projects at the same time (not big projects), and I never express any dissatisfaction.
What I was disappointed about was the leadership of the manager, his indifference to the working atmosphere of the department and his vigilance towards me in the source code. It’s funny, I’ve been the vice director for a year and a half, and I don’t have pull permission for a lot of code, not to mention other colleagues. So it was a real nail in the head of the department, and nobody could replace him.
I have no interest in these source codes, but the mind reflected in them makes me despise.
I just want to set my mind at ease to write a code ah, step by step to complete their own work, improve their skills, let their salary go up a bit, as for the “fight for power”, not want to, just disdain……
Before I left, many of my good colleagues had jumped ship, and the department was full of new faces and solid supervisors.
In fact, I am not a “good employee” in the eyes of the boss in the traditional sense. I can do things, but I can also fight against injustice. When my colleagues who have worked hard received 300 YUAN (you read that right) year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year, I really feel unworthy for them.
In the end, I sided with my colleagues on the “overtime issue” in the department, and went against my supervisor and boss.
At that time, my boss talked to me and made it clear that if there were irreconcilable problems between me and the supervisor, he would definitely choose the supervisor.
I fully understand this choice. Wang Xiaobo once said, “If I had all the information you know, I would have made the same decision as you”. The director is actually better at executing his ideas than I am, because the company is results-oriented.
I didn’t look for any job before I left. I just wanted to leave. Leave that day the mood of the whole person is floating, because very happy, can say so, not a colleague leave the office is not smiling to leave……
Start a business the hard way
I stayed at home for more than a week. By chance, I joined my friend’s Internet of Things company as a partner. I was in charge of software platform and he was in charge of sales.
Let’s take a picture of the platform
So far, we have a total of 13 partners with a sales volume of 230 million. This may not be a big deal for many entrepreneurs or even working in first-tier cities, but for us working in third-tier cities for 9 months, this achievement is enough to cheer us up.
Our software team consists of five people, and the working atmosphere is very relaxed and pleasant. In spare time, we talk about skin, eat melon, discuss new technology, show off the newly bought keyboard, and work overtime together to catch up with the schedule when the task is heavy.
Oh, by the way, we will have our Chinese New Year holiday on January 22, and work on January 9 (dog head).
Achievement of 2021 targets
I set myself the following goals at the beginning of the year
- Read at least 10 books
- Earn 20 w
- Pass PMP and Soft Pass Advanced
- The official account captured 200 fans
Reading goals
Although there are many books on the bookshelf, they are basically referred to whatever they use, so strictly speaking, the target of 10 books should not be completed.
Earn 20 w
This small target in the first-tier city partners may be the level of entry, but in the third-tier cities is still good.
If I don’t quit my job, I still hope to achieve this goal. Starting a business is something that is not planned for this year. Although it sounds that the turnover of 230W is ok, but excluding costs, taxes, wages, rent, welfare and other expenses, the rest is not much, anyway, so far I haven’t completed this goal……
Small goals for the exam
One of the most important goals this year was to pass the PMP and Advanced Soft exams, but I only completed 50% of them.
PMP is the qualification certificate for project management professionals, which is relatively simple, but I won’t mention the details. Finally, I passed with a score of 4A. But soft test senior missed the second half of the registration.
On 25th, I participated in a postgraduate examination that was not planned. I applied for the MBA of Shandong University. I decided to apply for the exam in October, so I only had less than one and a half months to prepare for the exam. The candidates for this degree are basically managers from different industries. I also hope to get to know professionals in different fields and expand my professional skills through this opportunity.
Many people may think, what’s the use of taking these certificates? It doesn’t make you any better. Yes, I believe that many friends who do not have PMP certificates also have strong management skills, but when some projects need similar hard indicators, the value of certificates will be reflected. At some point, you might just stand out because of one more piece of paper.
I experienced the embarrassment of having nothing to write about when applying for honors. Although I had won a lot of honors in university, I could not talk about the “glorious deeds” of the university after working. Therefore, I suggest that you can find a suitable certificate in your spare time, and take an exam, better than nothing.
The official account captured 200 fans
You read that right, 200. I originally set this goal for myself because I wasn’t sure when I would really settle down to writing articles. 200 fans this year is a small goal for me.
On October 25th of this year, I published my first post, which officially started my output.
As I am paranoid about content layout and narrative logic, almost every article takes up a week of my time. With the preparation for the MBA exam, I have only written the following four articles so far
The most complete singleton pattern ever
Factory model — Evolution of Cat Food Corporation
Is this it? Redis Persistence policy – RDB
Is this it? Redis Persistence policy — AOF
Every post I write is synchronized on Nuggets and other platforms. Unfortunately, so far my post has not received much attention.
At present, there are only 31 fans of the official account, but I am very grateful to those friends who like my article, which is also a strong positive feedback for my later writing.
I don’t like some fancy title, a lot of public numbers are always “boyfriend”, “girlfriend”, “YYDS”, every time I see these feel very disgusted, but the facts prove that indeed fancy title is easier to attract attention.
For me, the headline adds “This is it?” Enough sensationalism, through these words I want to convey to everyone the belief is: there is no technology that cannot be learned, there is no knowledge that cannot be understood. I hope you can look at technology from the perspective of God, despise technology, but attach importance to technology.
At present, there are two columns, one is design pattern, which describes the scene with two cats as the main characters in my house, hoping to describe the design pattern for everyone in a light and humorous way. The other is Redis, which is going to start updating recently. It may be slow, but I’m sure every post is full.
Speaking of this to do an advertisement for my public number, welcome to search “cicada mu wind”, pay attention to it, I hope you can help me this little dream.
You may accidentally see some of the “pain literature” (as she calls it) my wife sent me before I fell in love with her. I tried, but couldn’t delete…… Keep it, is also the memory of youth.
About life
The cat
Far away from my wife, we only spend weekends together.
So I’m usually home alone with my two kittens.
A British short blue cat, named “top”, from my wife’s name “tong” and my name “dragon”, homonym is called “top”.
One is a puppet, called “fortune son”, the meaning of the name must be self-evident.
They are the protagonists in the evolution of the Article Factory model, cat Food Corporation, and the whole series will be based around them.
With these two little guys, there’s a little more life in the house, and certainly a little more smell and hair everywhere.
After two cubs experience mother I give them must, “fortune” is even I get up early in the morning to deliver her by herself, usually she is the most loved one, whenever I pass by her side, she will lie down to expose her belly, let me touch her stomach. Sometimes her hands were still in the air, and she was snoring.
Take a look at my baby’s beautiful face!
Neither my parents nor my in-laws would support us getting a cat, but we wouldn’t listen. Since they don’t live with us, there’s no way I’d give them up.
I’m still thinking about them when I’m writing, so hold on tight and go home!
affection
This is one of the things I feel most underdone in 2021.
I am a person who is easy to fall into the trap once I get into it, and by “the trap” I mean not blind thinking, but unable to extricate myself. The biggest negative effect this obsession had on me was that it made me numb.
Lack of communication with other people, lack of contact with friends, and even communication between family members is much less than before.
A few days ago, my eldest uncle died suddenly. I went home to pay my respects. After I got home, my mother was still worried that I was too tired to drive 300 kilometers.
At that time, MY heart was very sad. It was my mother’s own brother who died. She was still worried about me while she was suffering.
My parents are in their 60s and I can clearly feel the wrinkles on their faces every time I come home. I live 300 kilometers away from home, which is relatively close to many struggling friends in first-tier cities, but I still go home only a few times a year.
How long will my parents be able to accompany me? How many times will I be able to go home? I dare not think.
Chinese people have always been reluctant to talk about birth, old age, illness and death, considering it very unlucky. But these are the problems we encounter most often and will encounter eventually.
Everyone has different responsibilities and pressures at different times in life. The same goes for me. Financial pressure and parental pressure to have children are with me all the time. I’m not “selling anxiety.” You reach a certain age and stage where you don’t need to sell and anxiety just happens.
Therefore, I am more habitually engaged in my work. If it were not for my “top” and “fortune”, I would probably order take-out food at the company and go home at midnight to sleep. Likewise, communication with loved ones is becoming less and less.
I am fully aware of my shortcomings. At present, I cannot reconcile work and life. I spend too much time on work and self-improvement, neglecting life and my family.
Luo xiang said that one’s greatest pain is the difficulty to cross the “know” and “do” gap. I feel the same way.
Here with me as a commandment, while you work hard to improve yourself, be sure to love life, enjoy life!
Write in the last
In a recent conversation with a big shot, he asked me a question: what are your interests and hobbies, and what are your talents?
Puzzled, I thought, because to me interest and hobby are the same thing at all.
Then he explained that a hobby is something that you suddenly want to try, whereas a hobby is something that you try and feel is worth continuing to do. If one combines his talents with his hobbies, he will be more likely to succeed.
Talent speaks for itself.
Right or wrong aside, I did think about it afterwards.
My interest might be learning boxing, which is something I’ve always wanted to try but never made the leap. As a hobby, I’m afraid coding is my favorite hobby right now. As for talent, a little better understanding is probably my greatest gift.
If you only know how to cook, and if you really do cook very fragrant, do a eat sow you can also open up a small world of your own.
If I want to combine my talent with my hobby, I am afraid that I will continue to study technology and output technical articles.
In 2022, I hope I can write more good articles and let more people see them.
I hope you can earn more people, have more love, and enjoy a better life with your relatives!
The above!
