In fact, for the question of career development, others may be able to provide some ways to open up ideas, but the answer is in your hands, it depends on whether you will ask questions. Last night, I watched a romantic film called Notebook. The heroine's method of selecting objects above is an allegory of career development.
The protagonist, the rich girl Allie, falls in love with Noah, a young man in the wood processing factory. Noah is very poor, but she loves her thoroughly, and she can see her heart deeply.
Ai Li's mother, who is too poor and loves the rich, disagrees, and she stalks her, intercepting all the letters from Noah, and making Ellie betrothed to Luolang in despair. Luolang showed talent and wealth in his family. He had good manners, spoke smoothly, didn't quarrel with Ai Li, and was polite. On the surface, the answer is obvious. If it were you, how would you choose? The answer to the movie is that Ellie chose Noah in the end.
The selection process in the movie is quite inspiring. I picked a few lines as a reference career choice, if you used to find objects can also be the consequences it wants:
? The What do YOU want
when Noah said his heroine face difficult choice, Noah discovered that she Difficult to choose, more because of being influenced by what others say, such as what kind of person her parents think she should marry. Noah said: Don't worry about what Luolang thinks, what your mother thinks, you don't even care what I think, you ask yourself, what do you need? Everyone has to keep asking himself this question throughout his life: What do I need? There is no alternative to answer this question.
But many people don't know what they want. A very bad tendency in society today is to use some rare successful cases and some superficial principles to guide everyone. For example, everyone is talking about improving leadership, which makes people think that in the workplace, it seems that only leadership can do. Someone is not this piece of material at all, and it is very tiring to run into such a position. In fact, human talents are different. Someone likes to give advice to others, but the implementation is not good, so he is happier in the position of consultant. Some people like to sell everything, and you make him a fish in the water in the marketing and sales position. So you have to figure out whether you are a leader, adviser, teacher, seller, translator, operator... or nothing, you fuckers and suckers! What do you like to do, is lead, advise, teach, sell, translate, operate? Then add Either er, or, to a large extent, can explain your career positioning.
People can’t do everything. Today I saw this sentence: Half of being smart is because they know what you are dumb at (Half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb at). People who know and admit that they are dumb at people.
Can you picture yourself in 20, 30 years?
Another admonition from Noah is: Can you imagine what kind of life you are living after 20, 30 years? Many choices don't seem difficult, because some professions can be seen at a glance and know what it will look like in the future. For example, when you are a professor in an American university, you can almost accurately map your life to every year. For example, if you have been a tenured professor in the first few years, how to do research, academic service or teaching after you get it? Is this your favorite lifestyle? ? Maybe it is, maybe it is not, it is not hard to imagine.
See that guy over there?
Ai Li's mother also wanted to help her make a decision, so she took her to a construction site to see her former lover. "Have you seen that guy? Twenty years ago, I fell in love madly with him, but if I marry him, I don't know what life is like today." (She also said later that she regretted that she still loved her deeply. , Her current life is too boring.)
Some occupations are not so clear, but look at the colleagues around, especially the old colleagues who have been in the business for decades, you may be able to see what you are doing in this line. When I first started in the field of education technology, I was very excited, until I saw an old man in my field who couldn't keep up with the technology update too fast, so he became a laughing stock. There are many guys like him. I found from them that if you want to excel in this business, you have to run like a guinea pig, and later people will always master the newer things and make you obsolete at any time. Your experience may become your own stumbling block. After seeing this, my passion shifted. Like Ally, I returned to my "first love", that is, fiddling with words.
Who says it's going to be easy?
That Noah is not only poor, but when he is with Ellie, love is to death, noisy is to death. Ai Li said, look at what's good about the two of us, it's always noisy. Noah said: Yes, we are arguing 99% of the time, and you are also a headache 99% of the time, but who says this combination is easy? We were going to resolve these differences and break in. Luo Lang, the business man, respected each other like Ai Li, but he wouldn't spend any time with her. The same is true for work. Who would say that which job is easy, every snake bites others, without paying your enthusiasm, kindness, and patience, what can be so easy? Now we see Obama's election as a matter of course. It should be noted that in the early elections, many members of the campaign team felt that they could not see hope. When the team was pessimistic, Obama called them together for a meeting and asked a question: Who says it's going to be easy? Raise your hand. No People raise their hands.
Is it about security?
When Ai Li hesitated and even wanted to marry Luo Lang, a rich boy, Noah asked her: Is it about security? So it's money! He said that Ellie still feels safe and wants to find a rich person. After the rich Zang Tianxu was arrested, I think everyone must be reflecting on what is the real sense of security. There is a sense of security. After Ellie was old and became Alzheimer's, Noah still came to read to her day after day, reading their own stories. You can say that this is romance, or you can say that this is a sense of security. Buying 999 roses like a nouveau riche is nothing but the fruits of other people's planting. How difficult is this? You don't grow it yourself. You can buy it every day if you have the ability, and you will buy it until you grow old!
Closer to home, what is the real security of our profession? Who would have expected that Chinese students who had swarmed to study computers would encounter the explosion of the Internet bubble after graduation? Who would have thought that the foreign students who went to study finance in a swarm would encounter a Wall Street winter after graduation this year? To paraphrase Kennedy's sentence: Don't ask what popular majors you go to, but ask what majors you will become popular.
