In fact, for a long time, I kept asking myself repeatedly: Is my current work life what I want? Am I going to live like this all my life? What kind of person do I want to be in the future?
At this time, there is often a very positive voice in my heart to answer me: it is not what you want, you will have a better work life.
I began to reflect deeply.
I started this topic because I have found my dream, and I will go all out to complete it with the rest of my life. At the same time, I also want to share my joy in finding it, so that more friends who have dreams like me but haven't found it can have a little light, hoping to help you not be so dark on the road to your dreams.
The process is not easy, just like Tang Sanzang's learning from the scriptures. It took him 81 years to succeed.
May you persist in not giving up.
After graduating from junior college, my first internship was as a foreign trade salesman. The internship salary is 300 yuan per month, excluding travel expenses. I studied "customs declaration and international freight" at that time, and I thought it was a counterpart job, so I did it.
During the three-month internship, I sat in my office every day to check whether there were any new orders on Alibaba's wholesale website, or whether there were any consultation emails (I didn't reply to emails during the internship, haha), or I was doing odd jobs: moving stools, moving tables, helping to pass wrenches, screwdrivers and so on. Without any chat, the internship period passed and I successfully got the seal of the internship report.
I stopped working after the internship. At that time, the idea was simple: I had graduated from work and could no longer ask my parents for money.
After that, I submitted my resume online, and soon, my first real job started: 10086 customer service specialist.
10086 customer service is upside down day and night, and the speaking time is about 8 hours a day. Hoarseness, throat inflammation, chronic pharyngitis. This is a routine. I won't ask for leave to see a doctor until I hear the sound, otherwise my attendance will be lost. In fact, I think these physical diseases are minor problems. Isn't it normal to get through it when you first come out to work?
But in the final analysis, it is still a "psychological problem."
I remember one month I got a salary of more than 2700 yuan (I forgot the exact figure, it was 20 10), and then my team leader took it and told the team members that the salary was high. Listen, everyone, you say, "Wow, how?" Answer the phone desperately. My heart is a little vague: I am such a desperate person; People who don't ask for leave until the last minute; You said I would come back to work overtime if there were not enough overtime staff; But in the end, the salary I got didn't reflect my value at all! At the same time, I have to "serve" every customer through Nuo Nuo every day, even if I have no personal mistakes!
That's not what I want. Resigned in the same year.
10086' s work experience is a great wealth in my life, which makes me know that this society is really not as beautiful as you think.
If the internship is still in the cage, then 10086 will completely release me.
I went to a place I have never been to for a job, rented a house outside and ate alone, which created many firsts, but I want to say that you are the only one around, which makes you more aware of your strengths and weaknesses and makes you stronger and more fearless.
Next, I went to be an automobile insurance salesman.
I have worked in this job for six years, and my salary is more than three times that of the previous 10086. In fact, the sweat and effort to get such a result is several times that of 10086. At first, I enjoyed the job: I paid as much as I could, and the more I paid, the more I paid.
However, it turned out that this was not what I wanted.
Mr. Ma Yun's teacher told him: "To see whether an industry is suitable for you, you must persist in doing it for six years." Then Mr. Ma Yun insisted on being a teacher for six years. Although we have been together for six years, it has not affected my decision to leave.
Because in the past six years, the company's decision has been disappointing every time.
In six years, I completed my bachelor's degree and won the title of "excellent student" in the school; I changed from a makeup artist to a high-quality makeup artist with five years of makeup experience. Most brides will introduce their friends and sisters to me and continue to help them make up. Meanwhile, he became a manicurist; I also tried that a person with a child (at that time, the child was only four years old) completed the hiking distance of 16 km and climbed a mountain with no "road" at all. Created a lot of firsts, but also broke the impossibility that I felt a lot.
Having said that, I want to tell my friends who are as unwilling to be content with the status quo as I am: if you don't try, you will never know if you can do it; If you don't invest, you will never know whether what you do is really suitable for you!
One day when I came back from work, I accidentally saw a shocking sand painting performance on TV: "Wow! Very special performance, atmosphere, no procrastination, one go "I was attracted in an instant.
In the future, I will relive that moment from time to time: I like it very much. I really want to learn this. While working, I pay attention to where I can learn this magical sand painting around me.
Still come back from work one day, a very ordinary day, brush friends circle, suddenly found: hey! Sand painting! Then I looked through the circle of friends of the sand painting teacher: it turned out that he was really a teacher engaged in sand painting performance. I laughed while watching, but I didn't expect there to be such a great god around me. How lucky! Is there really a God? Why did I think about it for a long time and then really appeared?
Soon, I got in touch with the sand painting teacher and asked about my study. I thought the time could be arranged, so I swiped my credit card at the teacher's sand painting studio and paid the tuition.
Why should we emphasize here that we paid the tuition by credit card? Because I personally think that the investment in knowledge is priceless. As long as you are serious, have no regrets and devote yourself to one thing, the investment doubling rate is very high. In the case of not losing money, the income will often double or even more. So on the premise that I have the ability to repay the loan, I swiped my credit card to sign up for study.
Originally, I was only interested in learning sand painting. Unexpectedly, after a series of orderly courses, I have lost control of my painting, and I will never stop if I am dissatisfied. In many cases, a painting takes more than 8 hours.
I often walk and think about how to draw better. I will also draw with sand. Even in my dream, I don't know whether the "clenched fist" should be drawn inward or outward. How to "walk sand", "pick sand" and "lift sand" more smoothly and evenly? etc ......
I really fell in love with the performing arts of sand painting. In sand painting, I found what I always wanted: concentration, concentration, never giving up, and brave pursuit.
At the same time, I am very disappointed by the change of company policy and the inaction of decision makers. I am very depressed, completely depressed in my work and life. I once wondered if I was depressed because of this.
One day on my way to work, I suddenly realized: I can't keep going, I have to have my own ideals, goals and directions, and I deserve a better working life!
After tossing and turning for several nights, finally, sand painting performance training has become a career that I must complete for the rest of my life.
"Why don't you choose a makeup artist with many years of experience to be your career? But an art that a niche likes? " I've been torturing myself.
At first, I was also very interested in learning makeup, but after six years, my interest has almost disappeared. Now all that remains is responsibility and gratitude. Without the support of interest, my career will not last long It's like a long and loving marriage. No matter how long time has passed and how many quarrels have been made, if there is love between husband and wife, this marriage must be a lifetime. If there is no love in this marriage, it will soon break up and the marriage will not go on.
Meeting sand painting for the first time is like meeting "love", a kind of heartfelt joy. Everything is beautiful and everything is just right. I am willing to do anything for this "love", no matter what the cost, no matter whether the ending is happy or not, but I will use everything I have to make this "love" blossom and bear fruit.
Finally, I hope you can find your "love" as soon as possible like me!
