The noble man who promoted me back then told me 8 rules for survival in the workplace, each of which is a story of blood and tears.
1: Don't prove yourself
Never explain yourself to anyone.
In the world of crows, swans are guilty. Facing his bad reviews, it is better to be "selfish" and be a "shameless" person instead of worrying about it.
2: You can use no means, but you must know the means
We have to be good people, not stupid people. I never encourage everyone to use means, but you must know some means, this is to protect yourself.
3: Don't roll up the workload, roll up the core ability
The skills you need to accumulate most in the workplace are reusable skills, such as the way of thinking about problems, patience in doing things, logical thinking ability, etc.
With these general skills, even if you leave this company, this industry, you can still succeed quickly in another track.
Don't try to roll up your workload. Others can sort out 50 invoices a day, but you work hard to sort out 100 invoices until midnight. What's the point?
Four: Know how to say no
Don't be a good person in the workplace, feeling that anyone can order you to work. You just need to figure out who you report to, and know how to say no to other people and things.
Five: Don't give in on matters of principle
Why are they more unbridled the more you are kind to others, and the more you treat others, the more arrogant they become? The fundamental reasons are nothing more than two: one is that you have no principles; the other is that you have principles, but you don't have the courage to defend them.
Six: Learn to show weakness
Showing weakness is better than being strong. Don't compare your weaknesses with others' strengths. Admit that you are not good enough in some places. Life is not an exam, and you don't need to get first place every time.
Seven: Praise people more
The workplace is a human society. As long as there are people, human nature is indispensable. Be a little sweet, and you will find that things will be much easier. Praising people is not flattery. You should find the points worth praising and praise them to death.
8: Don’t sacrifice your health for anything
A good body is the foundation of everything. This sentence may be old-fashioned, but it is true. If your body is broken, all the above will lose their meaning.
I always say “One is fate, two is luck, three is Feng Shui, four is accumulating good deeds, five is reading, six is reputation, seven is appearance, eight is respecting gods, nine is making friends with noble people, and ten is keeping healthy.
Without the help of noble people, I would not have come this far. I will always be grateful, never forget the noble people, and I also hope that I can become a noble person for others.
