There's no such thing as a free lunch
As a professional, each of us has our own career dreams. dreaming that I can stand on the podium to receive flowers and applause, and even have huge prize money, tickets for overseas travel, and a fragrant car villa; I dream that one day my boss or boss suddenly called me into the office, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your performance during this period is really good, and you have made many outstanding contributions to our company, we consider letting you be the manager of your department, how about it?" I also dream of becoming a senior gold collar one day, following the boss to "fight in the south and in the north", and repeatedly perform miraculous feats.
Now let's take a look back and see ourselves: Do we have a realistic plan in place to make our dreams come true? Have we consistently taken resolute action? Are we ideal giants, dwarfs of action? Hundreds of years ago, there was a very clever old king who gathered a lot of clever courtiers and gave him a task: "I want you to compile a book of wisdom of the ages, so that you can inspire future generations to create wealth and make a lot of money." ”
These wise men, after receiving the orders of the old king, worked for a long time, and finally completed a 12-volume masterpiece.
When the old king had read this, he said, "Gentlemen, I am sure that this is the fruit of the wisdom of the ages. However, it's so thick that I'm afraid people won't read it all. Concentrate it! As a result, these wise men worked hard for a long time, and after several cuts, they completed a book.
But the old king still thought it was too long, and ordered them to continue condensing. These clever people condense a book into a chapter, then a page, then a paragraph, and finally a sentence.
When the old king saw this, he looked very proud, and said, "Gentlemen, this is really the crystallization of the wisdom of all ages, and once the people everywhere know this truth, then most of the problems we are worried about now can be solved." ”
This well-tempered saying is: "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Nowadays, many people dream of a career and job where they can "sleep until they wake up naturally, count their money until their hands cramp", but such an opportunity is like pie in the sky and cannot become a reality. Only action can succeed, and only effort can be rewarded. Therefore, we must treat our work with a positive attitude, so that we can usher in spring and autumn and fruitful success.
