Do not rush to be a director
Work And Study Motivation / / December 19, 2019
This text is written by our reader Victor Fomin. His point of view is so unusual today, and so close to the truth that is worth reading to get you paid just five minutes... Saying "good intentions paved the road to hell is" exactly characterizes normal human ingratitude and haste. Perhaps you do not think about the type of person that I am now going to describe. In this case, you are lucky and you truly do not desire excessive tearing.
One of the main features of an attractive young man is having ambition, ambitious and are not inclined to gratitude; he began to take his good fortune for granted and is not caught on the fly every word of battle, not admired his wisdom, such as it was at the beginning of their whirlwind romance, but it happened that, and dare to have their own opinion. Then it turned out that this upstart believes that Boy was very lucky to have someone like him, a worker, and that his talents have not yet received a proper evaluation. Robert Davidson, "the fifth character"
It is unclear who hardwired into the human desire for more subcortical occurs not only at work. It relates to anything else in life. Few people know how to be grateful for what he has. In the depths of our being lives insatiable hole, absorbing all that falls there.
If you eat a loaf of bread and some kind person will throw your oil, the first week you will find it a good guardian angel. In a second - apprehend oil as already granted. And even angry, if on the third, he will not give you anything, though, in fact, he is so you do not have to give.
Wave universal business perfectly exploits this desire. Some young, intelligent person with access to the Internet and read the endless pitches, rounds investment of IPO and so on - unless he sees himself simply an employee, a worker, a person who does something good (and this satisfied)? Most likely no. What he is doing now, it's all so be interrupted for the first time. In general, it is - the future CEO of, Founder, resting in a hammock somewhere on the beach Thailand, idly snapping laptop and sipping a cocktail from the tube. Yes, the idea is reasonable, selfish capitalism and self-indulgence ( "want" instead of "shall") developed in the books of Ayn Rand - almost a religious figure in the Western economies. At the same, in principle, it is based and all the marketing to the mass consumer. But few people, reading Western books on efficiency, think about the fact that all of their tips for success are based on hard, daily work - Americans work like horses. Their habit of work - in itself a disciplinary regime. If you do not know how to do the simple, uncomplicated action - there is no need to dream of something high.
And the western model of life is not quite rosy. I saw a few people who are ahead of many on the principle of "We need to strive for more, because you deserve it!" But while running they forget why fled. They literally lived on one day in advance - tomorrow I will raise wages! Comes Tomorrow. And then the man again thought: Tomorrow I'll deputy director! And this is also happening. So it passed half his life, and then the man suddenly looked around and realized that he was always "tomorrow" and was never "today". That his daughter brought up the nurse. His mother cried quietly in her apartment, aging, because the son was so busy, so busy and constantly put off a visit home for the next Sunday. We simply strongly imposed stereotype that the biggest one. If nine people will be looking at the sky, then the tenth, passing by, stops and also zaderet head. From this very hard to get rid of. But, probably, it is necessary. Otherwise there will be peace of mind.
To begin, I think we should with humility. Refer to the old, well-known rules of self-control, and even a certain asceticism. Without this, the human soul blossom double flowers all enemies clever, kind and light - self-centeredness and self-importance. Gogol wrote that the real, qualitative selfish man becomes only when it begins to take care of others. You can talk in the morning "thank you" (no matter who) for the fact that you have not even the fact that the roof over their heads and breakfast plate. And for what remained in place hands and feet. Because if you go to the nearest surgery, there can be found a couple of examples to the contrary. And, most worryingly, any of these examples, yesterday could easily feel like the king of life and worry only about the fact that his Mercedes had to be transplanted to winter tires. Posner in one of their transmission noticed - if you have, where to sleep and that is - you are richer than nine-tenths of the world's population. You can talk more with family and friends. You can meet more people - any people.
Because the money as a medium of exchange, do not mean anything. If tomorrow people will come to mind to exchange caps from bottles, then it will be meaningful bottle caps, and a pack of dollars will be plugging cracks in the windows. But really, if other people are good to you, they will find a way to support you? It is possible to respect the authorities, which, as the Bible says, given to a person is in such a form in which he did his superiors deserves. I'm not advocating a religion, it's just a good rule. If the manager has built a business and manages a whole bunch of people and tasks, it deserves at least to listen to his words and interpret them. And if not threaten too actively for more - it is likely to come. Of course, naturally. It's just that everyone has their own more.
