In the news a few days ago, there was a girl in a taxi who was crying loudly because she was temporarily called back to work overtime. Before that, she had been working overtime for a long time in a row, and it was hard to go back early on her birthday, but it was still difficult. The fate of escaping overtime. For each of us in the workplace, this kind of scene should not be too empathetic. I wanted to tell her that everything would pass, and as soon as I turned around, I threw myself into endless overtime work.

In retrospect, this can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg of sadness in the workplace. Because anytime, anywhere, we may face the situation of few personnel, tight schedule and heavy tasks, no matter how much we work overtime, we have to deal with the accusations from bosses and customers. The work is heavy, the salary is low, and the holidays are useless. At this time, the usually tense spiritual world of ordinary workers may be crushed at any time. Seeing that the work ability is comparable to you, or even inferior to you, they will find a better opportunity to leave. , and you, did not get the favor of the opportunity, you can only endure it silently.

Can't figure it out, can't stand it, can't escape, as if fate is joking. I came across the book "Lifelong Growth" by chance, which inspired me deeply. This book actually talks about one thing, the importance of a "growth mindset." So what is a growth mindset? When looking at things, do not draw conclusions easily, learn from them, and find other opportunities and possibilities. In contrast, there is a "fixed mindset," the belief that things will only go this way and that there is no other way.

The difference between the two modes of thinking can be seen in different people during teamwork or group discussions. When you come up with a project and ask team members if they can do it, people with a fixed mindset will say, I have never done this before, and there will be many difficulties, big and small, to complete it, while a growth mindset Some people will say, let me try it, I may face some difficulties, I hope everyone can find a way together. In fact, many times, people with a fixed mindset and those with a growth mindset are equally capable when faced with the same challenges, but it gives you the impression that the latter is more likely to find a solution. This is the difference in thinking patterns. Empathy, do you prefer to work with the former or the latter? In fact, in the face of coworkers or bosses, people with a growth mindset will leave a better impression on them, because such people have the initiative to help you solve problems, they will advance their work very smoothly, and they will cooperate well.
