How many people are still in the workplace, whether they are waiting in torment, or should they move forward
How many people are walking but stuck in place
How many people live and die,
How many people love but seem to be separated,
How many people are smiling but full of tears,
Who knows where we're going,
Who understands what life has become,
Are you looking for an excuse to continue living,
Or soar to keep your anger,
How do I exist.............
This is a song "Existence" by Wang Feng. The reason why this song is liked by so many people is because it sings the voices of many people and arouses many people's thinking...... ..
How many people are still in prison in the workplace. Should we wait in agony, or should we move forward?

Recently, a friend of mine resigned from a well-known foreign company in the world's top 500 that he had been with for almost 12 years. Many of his friends couldn't understand it. This is a world-class company, and his position is enviable. The income of a senior management position is also very good. The key is that he is not young. He is already in his early 40s. This age should be the age for career stability. But why do you choose to choose? Is it because your head is caught in the door, or you are not happy in the company, or you are under too much pressure. I believe that many of my friends may have similar thoughts.
After some exchanges with this friend, I learned the deep reason behind his resignation:
Career development has reached a bottleneck and burnout period, either choose to continue to suffer, or choose to change
Year after year, day after day, I have no time to study, I feel that I have begun to keep up with this fast-changing world, and as I grow older, I start to worry about the future.
The circle is too small, limited to the circle in the field of work for more than ten years, unable to expand one's own horizons, and less possibilities.
I don't want to see the possible future at a glance, I hope my life has more expectations.
In fact, I think carefully about the reasons my friends said, and I can understand and resonate with them. That's not the case with me a year ago. I chose to leave a business for many years to become a freelancer and entrepreneur. It doesn't matter how the year goes by, but there is a big difference in thinking, thinking, vision, and circle from a year ago. No matter how the world will change in the future, but my heart is more calm and certain.

I went back to my hometown on the National Day of the 11th National Day, got together with my old classmates, talked about the current situation of each classmate, and found one characteristic. Most of the classmates who left home to go out to work are still doing well now, but they have been staying in their hometown and have not gone out to work. The classmates who didn't make more changes themselves didn't get along very well, and they all looked very old. When they communicated, they found it difficult to talk together again.
Why is this so? A senior has revealed the secret. Think about it, if you only stay in one place (one circle, one company, one job) all your life, and over time, you will gradually form your own fixed thinking habits and stereotypes, and talk about the same things every day , Seeing the same people, thinking that what you see is the whole world. The same environment, the same you, but looking forward to different life changes. Is this possible?

I remember in a training class, a well-known domestic training teacher said: "What is an opportunity? Where will the opportunity come from if nothing remains unchanged, only changes mean opportunities and more possibilities. Either the environment changes; or you make the change.
Many well-known Internet companies that have emerged in China in recent years are able to rise rapidly in the changing times because they have seized the opportunities of the changing times. Of course, there are also many well-known companies that are eventually eliminated by the times because they are unwilling to change or slow down when the environment changes.
This is true of enterprises, and it is also true of individuals. In today's society, there is no iron rice bowl and no job once and for all, and the update speed of knowledge is getting faster and faster. It used to be updated every seven or eight years, but now it is updated every one or two years. If we don't change, the environment will change us. In the workplace, we "draw the ground as a prison" for ourselves, and the end result is that we are abolishing ourselves step by step.

The "painting the ground as a prison" in the workplace here actually includes the following:
- Always stay in a known and familiar workplace environment, unwilling and daring to adapt to the new environment, just like "boiled frogs in warm water", the outcome is naturally known.
In fact, people like this in the workplace can be seen in foreign and state-owned enterprises in some traditional industries. Due to the relative stability in all aspects, the benefits are not bad. Many people work for ten or twenty years. The stability of large companies seems to have become an anesthetic for these people, numbing their nerves that have long been derailed from the outside world. With the increasing age, many people's personal skills have not improved much, their knowledge is also seriously aging, and they passively accept all situations. Even in front of newcomers, the only thing to talk about is seniority. If he does not always hold the mentality that he will face new changes, one day, he will not be able to understand the world.
- Unwilling to learn and think, accustomed to making decisions and judgments with their own past experience, "self-righteous", then waiting for oneself will only be failure.
According to statistics: In the past 10 years, the total amount of human knowledge has exceeded the sum of the previous 2000 years, and it is still developing at an exponential rate. When technology and the progress of the times force us to grow up, we can only find our own competitive advantage by abandoning old thinking and constantly learning. Otherwise, in the workplace, waiting for yourself will only be failure. Because traditional iron rice bowls and stable jobs are being replaced by technology, with the introduction of big data analysis and intelligent equipment, many traditional industries will slowly disappear.

- Get used to self-imposed limitations, feel that you can’t or won’t, and you will never be able to get out of your own thinking cycle.
I often hear people say this in the workplace: I can't finish this job, I can't do this project well, I can't do this thing... They are accustomed to setting a "high" for themselves in their own psychology, thus constantly implying themselves : It is impossible for me to do such a difficult job. This phenomenon is actually a typical workplace "self-limiting" phenomenon. Limit your abilities and potential to a fixed range, limit yourself to a "height", don't think you can grow, don't think you can succeed. "Psychological height" is one of the important reasons why people can't achieve success. It is a major obstacle to people's career success and progress.
- Always live in his own narrow workplace interpersonal circle, unable to go out, and unable to expand his communication horizons.
Due to work reasons, most people in the workplace limit their communication circles to the work circles they are familiar with. Familiar people, familiar topics, the same background, and the same experience make it difficult to broaden and extend one's own thinking. The limitations of the interpersonal circle naturally make one's vision too narrow, and it will also make one less likely to have more possibilities for career development and change.

Therefore, the ending of choosing "drawing the ground to be a prison" in the workplace is to keep yourself trapped in the cage you built, unable and unwilling to change and break through, waiting for the passage of time and fate to judge you in the torment. Maybe one day the environment forces you to make changes, forcing you to break through the cage, at that time, it will be too late to regret!
If you want to achieve higher achievements in life, you should not be satisfied with the status quo, you should constantly challenge yourself. There are no shortcuts to a good life. Only if you are not afraid of difficulties and move forward with determination, will the road ahead of you become wider and wider.
