What is a goddess?

The goddess is just biting an instant noodle spoon in her mouth, you will think she is very sexy.

Like Rachel McAdams .

Of course, being sexy is just one of her qualities.

And self-confidence, independence, charm, optimism, positivity ...and above all hard work and hard work .

Maybe people only see the luck that she has frequently appeared on various big and small screens in recent years. Who can think of how much effort and dedication she has had behind getting these luck.

Before she became a big hit, she also experienced a long period of obscurity in the major studios, where she kept trying and playing tricks.

But with her uncompromising will and patience, the characters she has created one after another are finally recognized by people.

Ellie , who dares to love and hate in "The Notebook" , Claire who is empathetic and understanding in "The Time Traveling Wife" , and Erin who is bold and avant-garde in "Sherlock Holmes" , each role is impressive.

However, what she does best must be comedy.

For example, this "Morning Anchor" .

Director: Roger Mitchell

Screenwriter: Elaine Brosh McKenna

Starring: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Ty Burrell, Noah Bean

Length: 107 minutes

Betsy's occupation is a member of the director of a TV station.

Suddenly one day she was called to the office by the leader.

Colleagues thought that Betsy was about to reach the peak of her career.

Because in the eyes of all her colleagues, she is definitely the one who works the hardest.

When it’s time to get off work, I think about work, I think about work on my days off, and I still think about work when I’m on a date.

A veritable workaholic...

It is normal for the company to give promotion opportunities to employees who do their best for the company, right?

As she walks into the leadership's office full of confidence, the turn of events catches her off guard...

The company didn't let her get a promotion, but let her pack up and leave!

You have already worked hard, why are you firing me?

Just like the debate on "Is he really hardworking a good word? " in the latest issue of "Qi Hua Shuo" .

There is nothing wrong with trying.

But the reality is that as an employee of a company, what the company values ​​is not how hard you work, but how much value you create for the company.

If you work hard, but the value created does not meet the company's expectations, your efforts can only be judged as "wasted".

What's more, Betsy is facing competitors whose resumes are dumping her a few streets: a degree in business administration, a journalism major at Columbia University, a backup target for the director...

Betsy, who lacked hardware facilities, could only choose to leave silently, even if she felt great grievances in her heart.

Will Betsy be devastated by this?

of course not.

Because Betsy is a "workaholic" who always remains complacent!

After experiencing the huge crisis of re-employment, saving the nearly paralyzed team, resolving internal staff conflicts, saving the ace anchor, and even the program group being withdrawn, with her tenacious will and belief, she finally not only created a great job at work Achievement, but also unexpectedly harvested a beautiful love......

Some people say that such inspirational plots are very common and full of routines.

Some people say that this is the American version of "Du Lala's Promotion" .

In fact, "Morning Anchor" is closer to reality and more resonant than "Du Lala's Promotion" .

It is no exaggeration to say that "Morning Anchor" is a living "workplace survival story" !

In front of leaders, it is common to be denied;

It is normal to be excluded by colleagues and not trusted by colleagues;

Sometimes even the security guard at the door will come to taunt you...

At this time, what you need to do is not to sit still, but to show the most energetic state and the most enthusiastic work attitude, and prove yourself with practical actions .

As a manager, Betsy faces a messy and loose team.

Therefore, in addition to her own efforts, she must also find ways to improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team .

For example, kick out the "mouse shit" in the team;

For example, arrange every member of the team properly;

For another example, for the "stubborn elements" in the team, adopt the trick of "moving with love and understanding with reason" to subdue the opponent until they are willing to break the principle for you...

So is it worth the effort?

Perhaps efforts that fail to create value are temporarily useless.

But you can't give up, because the failure to create value is not because you didn't work hard, but because you didn't find the right direction , or didn't use the right method .

What Becky did in the original TV station were trivial things for small staff. The basic business has actually been mastered. It's just that after a long time, the accumulated things have almost reached a saturation state. There is more room for improvement.

Simply put, the work she does is highly substitutable .

What's the meaning?

That is, anyone can take her place, and anyone can be as good as her or even better than her .

Without her, business goes on as usual and the planet functions normally.

So when someone better came along, she was automatically replaced.

But when she takes on a position that is very important and not everyone is capable of, as long as she can make full use of her previous accumulation and reserves, and develop and sublimate it, when things finally work out, she is no longer free to do so at will. The one that was replaced.

She is also the one who can do it better than anyone else.

The film that resonates the most is what Betsy's mother said:

It's good to have a dream

When you were 8 years old, you had a dream that adults thought you were cute

Still inspiring at 18

Is it shameful to talk about dreams at the age of 28?

Does the older you get, the less you deserve to have dreams?

Although we all know that this is due to the painstaking efforts of the elders, to draw a conclusion like this is equivalent to being sentenced to death before it has even begun.

Such denial is too hasty and too arbitrary.

You may be experiencing something like this right now.

Anyway, just remember one sentence:

Everyone can ignore you, only you can't ignore yourself.

As long as there is still a silver lining, there is also the possibility of a resurgence of dead ashes.
