Hedgehog looks stupid and walks slowly. When attacked, hedgehogs only know how to curl up into a ball and protect themselves with thorns. But how did the hedgehog survive in the cruel food chain?

In fact, hedgehog is not a fool. On the contrary, it suddenly grasped the essence and key points in complex problems and survived with its few advantages and moves. Because no matter how powerful the attacker is and how rich the attack moves are, the ultimate goal is to get food. Hedgehog huddled up and covered with thorns. Whether you are a tiger, a lion or a bear, you can't shut up and finally have to give up. ...

When choosing a job, we should also learn from hedgehogs, grasp the key points and establish our core competitiveness: first, love, second, advantages, and third, getting paid.

In other words, when you choose a career, you should consider whether you love it, whether you are better than others, and whether you have the ability to realize it.

Buffett said that working just to perfect your resume is like saving for old age. We should choose jobs that make us want to jump out of bed in the morning.

So what is love?

Love is not simply like.

If a person loves something, he will respect and accept that what he loves will change with time;

He will close his eyes and feel the physical reaction and inner voice; He will let go of his fears and not worry about being judged by others' eyes; He will take the initiative to take action, even if it is only a small step.

Many people think that they have no advantages, at least they can't find their own advantages.

In fact, the advantages are often ignored by ourselves and taken for granted. The advantage is that we are a little more outstanding than the average.

We can ask ourselves:

Is there anything that feels easier to do by yourself?

What qualities or abilities do friends often praise themselves?

Do you have any skills or strengths that others are willing to pay for?

Even if you can't find your own advantages at the moment, you can use the method of "70, 20, 10" to allocate energy, and then slowly explore.

First, use 70% of your energy to do what you should do now;

Second, devote 20% of your energy to study and invest in the next interest that may become a career;

The third is to do something "idle" with 10% energy and try to get in touch with something new, whether interested or not, as long as it doesn't violate the law and morality.

Harvard Business Review points out that companies that spend 70% of their resources on core business innovation, 20% on neighboring business innovation and 65,438+00% on transformation and innovation usually perform better than their peers.
