毕业@工作@好文章

工作固然是为了生计,但是比生计更可贵的,就是在工作中充分挖掘自己的潜能,
发挥自己的才干,做正直而纯正的事情。

  一些年轻人,当他们走出校园时,总对自己抱有很高的期望值,认为自己一开始工作就 应该得到重用,就应该得到相当丰厚的报酬。他们在工资上喜欢相互攀比,似乎工资成了他 们衡量一切的标准。但事实上,刚刚踏入社会的年轻人缺乏工作经验,是无法委以重任的, 薪水自然也不可能很高,于是他们就有了许多怨言。

  也许是亲眼目睹或者耳闻父辈和他人被老板无情解雇的事实,现在的年轻人往往将社会 看得比上一代人更冷酷、更严峻,因而也就更加现实。在他们看来,我为公司干活,公司付 我一份报酬,等价交换,仅此而已。他们看不到工资以外的东西,曾经在校园中编织的美丽 梦想也逐渐破灭了。没有了信心,没有了热情,工作时总是采取一种应付的态度,能少做就 少做,能躲避就躲避,敷衍了事,以报复他们的雇主。他们只想对得起自己挣的工资,从未 想过是否对得起自己的前途,是否对得起家人和朋友的期待。

  之所以出现这种状况,原因在于人们对于薪水缺乏更深入的认识和理解。大多数人因为自己目前所得的薪水太微薄,而将比薪水更重要的东西也放弃了,实在太可惜。

  不要为薪水而工作,因为薪水只是工作的一种报偿方式,虽然是最直接的一种,但也是 最短视的。—个人如果只为薪水而工作,没有更高尚的目标,并不是一种好的人生选择,受害最深的不是别人,而是他自己。

  一个以薪水为个人奋斗目标的人是无法走出平庸的生活模式的,也从来不会有真正的成 就感。
从工作中能真正获得的更多的东西而不单单是装在信封中的钞票。

  一些心理学家发现,金钱在达到某种程度之后就不再诱人了。即使你还没有达到那种境界,但如果你忠于自我的话,就会发现金钱只不过是许多种报酬中的一种。试着请教那些事 业成功的人士,他们在没有优厚的金钱回报下,是否还继续从事自己的工作?大部分人的回答都是:“绝对是!我不会有丝毫改变,因为我热爱自己的工作。”想要攀上成功之阶,
最明智的方法就是选择一件即使酬劳不多,也愿意做下去的工作。当你热爱自己所从事的工作 时,金钱就会尾随而至。你也将成为人们竞相聘请的对象,并且获得更丰厚的酬劳。

  人生的追求不仅仅只有满足生存需要,还有更高层次的需求,有更高层次的动力驱使。 不要麻痹自己,告诉自己工作就是为赚钱——人应该有比薪水更高的目标。

  工作的质量决定生活的质量。无论薪水高低,工作中尽心尽力、积极进取,能使自己得 到内心的平安,这往往是事业成功者与失败者之间的不同之处。工作过分轻松随意的人,无 论从事什么领域的工作都不可能获得真正的成功。将工作仅仅当作赚钱谋生的工具,这种想 法本身就会让人蔑视。

  事业成功人士的经验向我们揭示了这样一个真理:只有经历艰难困苦,才能获得世界上 最大的幸福,才能取得最大的成就;只有经历过奋斗,才能取得成功。

那些不满于薪水低而敷衍了事工作的人,固然对老板是一种损害,但是长此以往,无异 于使自己的生命枯萎,将自己的希望断送,一生只能做一个庸庸碌碌、心胸狭隘的懦夫。
他 们埋没了自己的才能,湮灭了自己的创造力。因此,面对微薄的薪水,你应当懂得,雇主支付给你的工作报酬固然是金钱,但你在工 作中给予自己的报酬,乃是珍贵的经验、良好的训练、才能的表现和品格的建立。这些东西 与金钱相比,其价值要高出千万倍

工作所给你的,要比你为它付出的更多。如果你将工作视为一种积极的学习经验,那么 ,每一项工作中都包含着许多个人成长的机会

年轻人,我诚恳地告诫你们,当你们刚刚踏入社会时,不必过分考虑薪水的多少,而应 该注意工作本身带给你们的报酬。譬如发展自己的技能,增加自己的社会经验,提升个人的 人格魅力……与你在工作中获得的技能与经验相比,微薄的工资会显得不那么重要了。老板 支付给你的是金钱,你自己赋予自己的是可以令你终身受益的黄金。

  能力比金钱重要万倍,因为它不会遗失也不会被偷。如果你有机会去研究那些成功人士 ,就会发现他们并非始终高居事业的顶峰。在他们的一生中,曾多次攀上顶峰又坠落谷底, 虽起伏跌宕,但是有一种东西永远伴随着他们,那就是能力。能力能帮助他们重返巅峰,俯 瞰人生。

  人们都羡慕那些杰出人士所具有的创造能力、决策能力以及敏锐的洞察力,但是他们也 并非一开始就拥有这种天赋,而是在长期工作中积累和学习到的。在工作中他们学会了了解 自我,发现自我,使自己的潜力得到充分的发挥。

New Page @ After School

Congratulations. You’ve graduated!!
Now what the hell are you going to do? 

You spent three to four years pretending like you knew where you were headed, but now that no one is looking, you’re being faced with the hard truth: You have NO IDEA what you ought to do with your life.
* studied for nearly half a decade and come no closer to understanding what your life ought to be. 


After graduated,

Forget everything that you've learned.


Some of the information that you found in books may be useful, everything else, on the other hand — all the other habits you created, all the things that you are used to and the life that you are used to — can basically be FORGOTTEN. The world that you enter after college is a much bigger bubble than the one that you are used to.

The life that you have been living for the past four years must be left behind you and doors are opening to a new journey. Now it’s time to choose a path actually worth walking.


Don’t be too eager to jump into the workforce if you don’t have to.

Most people are excited if they’re “lucky enough” to land a job straight out of college. Think about it – what are the position that is meant for you?

The truth is: jumping into a job simply because it was offered to you can only end into three ways:
1. not the right job for you and you soon quit, possibly with a non-compete hanging over your head for the next year;
2. it’s not the right job for you and you end up hanging around for too long wasting your precious time;
3. the luckiest person who ever lived and started your journey from the best place you could start it.

You may not be able to reach your goal from the start, but where you start can very well decide whether or not you will ever reach your destination.
E.g. Study Architecture doing admin work = it won't lead you to become an Architect.
It is better to take the dead-end job if it brings you closer to your goal.


You’re always being graded, you just don’t get a report card.

If you work for somebody, they’re going to constantly be evaluating your performance. It won’t be explicit or obvious – not unless they decide that they don’t like your performance and fire you. If you do a great job then you may be told that you’re work is being appreciated, but that’s only if you have a good boss.


You’re going to have to work for idiots.

It's true. Not only do they not know how to manage a team, they are almost certainly – idiots. Depending on where you’re working, you have a different probability of getting stuck working for a moron - it don’t mean someone who is uneducated. There are countless amounts of degree holding idiots out there.

Stupid people are a facet of life – you can’t avoid them. Because these individuals tend to have a higher than normal level of obedience, they are likely to hold higher levels of authority – owners and CEOs trust these sorts of individuals because they’re loyal. Which means you have to listen to an idiot tell you how to do a job that you know more about and are better at.


Life only gets more complicated and more difficult after college.

After high school, we knew we were going to go to college/university for four years. Then we graduate from college, reach the top of that ladder, and sometimes find it very difficult to figure out which direction to head next. We run out of runway, are being forced to fly, and never even bothered to question where it is we’re heading.

After college, no one will tell you what you should be doing because you’re supposedly supposed to know that by now. Unfortunately, most people graduate more clueless than when they started.



Refer to this, Duper good article!!

生命最有趣的部分,正是它没有剧本、没有彩排、不能重来。



If I were a flower.. I would be a sunflower. 
To always follow the sun, Turn my back to darkness, 
Stand proud, tall and straight even with my head full of seeds. @Author: Pam Stewart



自寻烦恼,就是吸收的负能量太多。我们要像向日葵一样,哪里有阳光就朝向哪里。
多接触优秀的人,多接触善知识,多谈论健康向上的话题,多想想有利于人生发展的问题。心里若是充满阳光,人生即便下雨,也会如春雨般温暖。
