2023/12/29 Don't be stupid and mediocre
In our lives, there is often a very stupid mistake that people make by easily telling the people around them about their income. Whether it's asked by someone else or something you can't help but say, such behavior can bring unnecessary trouble.
First of all, if you earn more than the people around you, they may not bother you because of it. Because your income hasn't far surpassed theirs, deep down they don't feel a sense of awe for you. In such cases, they may use all sorts of clever tactics in an attempt to give alms or gain some benefits. Such behavior will only get you into unnecessary distress and conflict.
Second, if your income is beyond the psychological capacity of others, but not far away, they may feel jealous. Jealousy in human nature is a terrible emotion that can make you narrow-minded, selfish, and even hostile to you. They will speak to you in a slightly sarcastic, teasing tone, and may behave excessively, or even hinder you behind your back. Such an environment can make you feel lonely and helpless because you have lost the sincere communication and trust with the people around you.
If you earn less than the people around you, you may be looked down upon or even belittled. They will think that you are incompetent or not working hard, and will not care about the reasons and efforts behind you. Such prejudice and discrimination can make you feel inferior and lost, and can even affect your self-esteem and self-confidence.
Snobbery is a very common phenomenon, and it is a bad habit that many people can't change. People tend to be attached to the strong and cold to the weak. However, we should understand that the value of people should not be measured only by money, and everyone has their own uniqueness and value.
In order to protect our bodies and minds, we need to have privacy. The poor do not show their faces, the rich do not show their bones, this is a kind of wisdom of keeping the way. We should learn to protect our privacy and confidentiality, and not to easily disclose our income or other personal information. This avoids unnecessary hassles and misunderstandings, while also maintaining one's own independence and autonomy.
Mediocre people tend to be picky about what they can do, believing that they are not qualified to accomplish certain things. They often use their own inadequacy as an excuse to avoid responsibilities and challenges. However, good people are able to create conditions and get things done when they lack them. They don't label themselves, but are brave enough to try and challenge themselves.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar when he was a child, but through his own efforts and intelligence, he eventually became a generation of emperors. Nick Hochul was born without hands or feet, but through his perseverance and wisdom, he created many incredible miracles. The success of these people teaches us that conditions are not the only factor that determines whether a person can succeed or not, and that hard work and perseverance are equally important.
Therefore, we should forget who we are, only think about what we have to do with the people we pay you for, and only think about how we can create value for our customers and teams. Working with a good person is very simple, just tell him what to do and what he wants, and he will do everything he can to get it done, without having to pay attention to conditions. Because after the accumulation of countless experiences, he himself has become the biggest "condition" for success, and this thing cannot be done without him. So the better people are, the better they are at getting things done in the absence of conditions.
In short, we should learn to protect our privacy and confidentiality, and not easily disclose our income or other personal information. At the same time, it is important to understand that conditions are not the only factor that determines whether a person can succeed or not, and that hard work and perseverance are equally important. Working with great people allows us to better reach our potential and create greater value.
