"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", which is a famous saying of Napoleon. Being sought after by later generations, it has become a wise saying used by many leaders to motivate their subordinates to make progress in meetings, and it has become an enlightenment training for monkeys to climb trees and applaud their "rhetoric". This sentence sounds reasonable, but it can't stand scrutiny. What I want to ask is: Should the goal of a soldier be a general? So, how many people can achieve this goal? Vowing to be a brave soldier is not a good soldier? Imagine again, what is it like to be a soldier who just wants to be a general all day? What are you doing? Once they find that their goals cannot and cannot be achieved, what is their psychological state? There was a student who took the first place in the grade several times, so he always took "the first place in the grade" as his goal in his later study and life. Unfortunately, he never won the first place in the grade after that. He was very sad. Recently, he gave up his studies completely. Obviously, this kind of education is problematic. This kind of education has trained a large number of people with high eyes but low skills.
There are still many people in the world who like to be unknown. They don't want to show off, but like to struggle silently, which may be a blockbuster. Such people are worth learning. We don't pursue status and power, but we should do things well step by step, just like many people in ordinary posts: those in Lamian Noodles, those who drive trucks, those who sew clothes ... they are all doing their most ordinary jobs. I think they can do well because they have a good mentality, that is, "don't always think about being a general."
Therefore, people in life and work, just like the shoes we wear, only we know whether they are comfortable or not. At the same time, people in society have their own position. We should correctly understand our position, give others a correct evaluation, fully understand the importance of our position, be down-to-earth and do our work well. It is terrible for everyone to be a general, and it is even more terrible for everyone not to be a general. Being a soldier is a good soldier. Doing your job well and feeling comfortable is the best reward for yourself, and it is also the performance of working ability. It is best for you, but gold is always shiny!
