"Change yourself, and you will change the world", which is quite philosophical, has a unique experience and feeling for Li Qi who has worked hard in the marketing industry for six years.
Li Qi was born in a remote mountain village in southern Henan. Because I grew up in a poor family, I am eager to get rid of the status quo after graduating from college. He works in marketing for a food company.
Five years passed quickly, and some colleagues who came together were promoted to business executives and some served as regional managers, but he still stood still and continued to be his own business representative without promotion. But what bothers Li Qi is that with the growth of age and experience, he becomes more and more confused and confused. First of all, he has a sense of inferiority buried in his bones, which makes it difficult for him to get rid of his hands and start working. Moreover, he became sensitive and suspicious, so that his colleagues around him commented that he was "too fake" and lacked courage and momentum. Secondly, because of his reticence and poor communication, others mistakenly think that he is "arrogant" and "narcissistic", so he can only stay away from the whole team; Finally, what is even more frightening is that he has worked in this enterprise for five years. Because of the repetition and monotony of business, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he had no passion for any work, so that his work was negative, he was full of complaints, and even unconsciously he became inert subconsciously. All this makes the company leaders feel that he is an "operator" in the team, which has no training value and even loses confidence in him. He may be arranged at a suitable opportunity at any time.
Later, by chance, Li Qi saw a book called "Who Moved My Cheese": Hum, a little mouse in the fable, content with being old-fashioned, nostalgic for the cheese he had in the past, unhappy in his constant complaints about heaven, while Haw bravely broke through the shackles of thought, put on long-standing running shoes and walked into the maze, and finally found more and better cheese. After reading this book, Li Qi decided to say goodbye to her past. Although this is a very simple story, it has a great stimulation and influence on Li Qi. I feel like a little mouse in a fable: I cling to my disability all day, complain about others, make no progress, and be content with the status quo. It is very unpleasant to think that all my colleagues have been promoted, but I am still standing still. ...
Mentality is the key to everything. In order to change himself and regain his previous confidence in his work, Li Qi gave up his rest time on Sundays and holidays and signed up for various professional trainings. Starting from the most basic marketing knowledge, he learned the theories of marketing 4P and 4C, as well as more fashionable experiential marketing and integrated marketing, especially the outward bound training in May, which completely restored his confidence. Therefore, every morning before going to work, he would shout "I am the best, I am the best, I will succeed, I will succeed" to himself in the mirror, and then give himself a confident smile to make his day full and valuable.
But Li Qi has a shortcoming, that is, he doesn't like to talk, and being good at communication and exchange is the basic quality that marketers must have. In order to change his personality defects, Li Qi tried to exercise himself on various occasions. Whenever he has the opportunity to speak at a meeting, he actively expounds and expresses his views, and he is no longer afraid of making a fool of himself as before. At the same time, in his daily work and life, he began to communicate and learn with his colleagues, including his boss. If you don't understand, take the initiative to ask people around you, and learn to put yourself in others' shoes in your own life. At a new market development mobilization meeting in June, Li Qi offered to develop some "tough" and "hard-core" markets. Through his own efforts, the new market he fought for was tortuous, but it ended in victory.
Getting rid of his bad habits is Li Qi's greatest resistance to his "revolution". In order to change his past bad habits such as slowness and laziness, he also decided to be "hard" on himself. First, change his way of "packaging". He used to dress casually and slovenly every day. Now he has put on a suit that has been idle for a long time, tied a beautiful tie and combed his hair neatly, giving the impression of a capable professional marketer. Second, make your own schedule, get up at 6 o'clock every day, have breakfast at 6: 30, study marketing books 1 hour after breakfast, and go to work in the company near 8 o'clock. Get off work in the evening, have dinner at 7 o'clock, then make a work summary, and make a work plan and diary for the next day until 1 1 that night. It was difficult and painful to get rid of all the bad habits before, which made him deeply realize the profound meaning of "one's greatest enemy is oneself". However, even so, Li Qi still did what he thought was right in the eyes of others full of doubts, still got up sleepily and finished the last thing he planned for himself in the day.
A few months later, everything around Richie was full of changes and new ideas. He is like a different person, and the world around him seems to have changed a lot and made a lot of progress. He felt the happiness he had never felt before.
Because he is diligent and eager to learn, the company leaders' previous views on Li Qi have also changed rapidly, winning the unanimous praise of the company's leaders. The initiative and effectiveness of his work made him stand out from the sales staff quickly. Soon, he was promoted to the regional director of Yudong District and was included in the training plan as a candidate for regional manager. On the other hand, he took the initiative to communicate and cooperate with colleagues in many aspects, so that he could quickly find everything in the enterprise and have good interpersonal relationships. Therefore, he is more handy in his work. With the life creed of "change yourself first, then change the world" and "phoenix nirvana", Li Qi finally opened a new chapter in his life and career.
Li Qi proved that the change is reasonable with his own actions and practices. After a long period of general principles, he finally explained this truth completely and made the best footnote for his career planning.
In our real life, most people in the workplace feel that their working environment is not satisfactory, they complain all day, their attitude is not correct, and they will gradually become lazy ... In fact, in the face of such work attitude, their workplace status will also be affected to a certain extent, which can be said to be a vicious circle. In other words, work has changed your life.
In the workplace, many people often complain and resent others whenever they encounter problems and difficulties, but rarely find reasons from themselves. In fact, if you look at yourself from the perspective of others, your way of thinking will be completely different, and the result may be quite different.
A company needs an information officer. High flyers Wang Hua, who graduated from the Chinese Department of undergraduate course, passed all the way, and only the boss nodded in the final interview. People thought that Wang Hua would be a shoo-in, but unexpectedly, the boss said a few words to Wang Hua, looked at her resume and said, "Sorry, we can't hire you. Think about it, how can we trust people who can't even keep their resumes well to give you the work of the unit? " It was Wang Hua's dirty and wrinkled resume that caused the boss's dissatisfaction.
I was in a hurry when I left in the morning. I accidentally knocked over the teacup and got my resume wet, so I can't do it any more. But that's the problem. Who can blame this? After returning home, Wang Hua copied a resume with a pen very seriously and wrote a letter to the boss of that unit, which wrote: "Your company is my favorite unit for a long time. Your almost harsh requirements for me reflect your company's seriousness and Excellence in management, which is also the hope of your company's prosperity. I will definitely remember your teachings and be conscientious and meticulous in my future work as a punishment for my negligence! " Wang Hua's heartfelt words, detailed resume and her beautiful calligraphy made the boss shine. Finally, the company gave her the green light.
The existence of things always has its rationality. In today's workplace, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, with the progress of the times, in addition to making a living, people begin to pay attention to whether work can bring them happiness and development space. However, many newcomers in the workplace are often too idealistic about their future career development, and at the same time, they lack consideration and preparation for whether their hobbies are in line with their careers and whether they can handle interpersonal relationships in the workplace well. They throw themselves into it with the attitude of changing the environment and seldom think about how to change themselves. Over time, they will encounter more setbacks and inadaptability in their work, resulting in a sense of "disharmony" in their work, thus starting to get bored with their work. ...
Therefore, when the environment cannot change according to personal expectations, we must first learn to adjust our mentality and strive to change ourselves. As an important psychological basis of optimism and self-confidence, a positive and happy attitude is the decisive "raw material" to produce harmony. But it is worth noting that life needs work, but work is not the only thing. There needs to be a balance between "life" and "work" Isn't this another kind of "harmony"?
People often complain that the environment or others are not good to them, so they want to change the embarrassing situation by changing the environment or making new friends. However, people seldom reflect on themselves. Is the unsmooth interpersonal relationship or unsatisfactory workplace caused by your own factors or others' factors? If the reason comes from oneself, only by changing oneself can the problem be solved. Otherwise, constantly changing jobs or meeting new friends will only be a waste of time and will not help solve the problem at all.
Therefore, only by changing yourself in the workplace can the workplace be smooth! In this unpredictable and dangerous "jungle society", if you don't make progress and be content with the status quo, it means that you will inevitably encounter workplace disasters and life crises, and will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated by this society! Therefore, only by escaping from the comfort zone quickly, making changes in time and adjusting ourselves can we survive in society and achieve personal success and development.
