The world is changing very quickly, and it is inevitable that we are confused in it.
For example, the epidemic that suddenly came three years ago caught us off guard. Suddenly, all the rules of our past seem to be unable to apply.
went out to check the health code, and was quarantined when he went home. He could not eat at the place where he ate, could not work at the place where he worked, and could not go to school at the place where he went to school. At the beginning, every change was stunned and at a loss.
But soon, I got used to it, and I persisted for three years.
corresponds to this, this time the unblocking and release.
All kinds of work, study, life habits and rules that have just been formed and used to have to be broken overnight, go back to the past, or change forever.
But no matter what, we will find that the world before can no longer go back.
Indeed, there are a lot of big troubles in how to deal with this transition between the new and old worlds. What this change in
is not just about being blocked and unblocked, but about being released or not. Behind it is the balance and rebalancing between work, life and family.
Before this, our life, work and even life seemed to be predictable. After experiencing this epidemic, we suddenly realized that the world was completely unpredictable.
Originally, we were all self-centered, but today, we suddenly expanded to be national-centered, and even brought together the activities of the whole world and the lives and concepts of the people of the world. The world that exists with the cognition of "I" suddenly doesn't know where it goes.
In this rapid change, in the process of some behaviors and methods yesterday and today, even 180 degrees of change, we will inevitably fall into confusion and confusion.
What should we do in the face of this phenomenon and situation? How to deal with and solve it?
1. The rapidly changing world will definitely involve us in the tide
Since the epidemic three years ago, whether we can understand it or not, the world has entered a period of rapid change. The world begins to change at a faster pace, and whether we want to or not, we will be people involved in the big wave.
Whether you have shoulders or are responsible or prepared, we have become pioneers of the new era without realizing it.
Facing the various chaotic changes that are happening and will happen in the future, we must not block ourselves, but open our horizons and accept all kinds of new information, concepts and behaviors.
official account, Toutiao and various new media in the new era will convey various information to us very well and quickly. So maintaining reading habits is not a bad thing. As long as we don’t indulge in worthless spam, we can still see the truth of this world.
Mobile communications and new media have brought us so much convenience. What happened in the world? Just open your phone, move your fingers, and search and you can find information and even find the answer.
Therefore, it is only good for us, no harm to open our horizons, and even to understand the surrounding environment. To understand the jungle, you have to walk into the jungle. Therefore, do not regard all kinds of information and concepts that cannot be understood and broken through the original cognition as a disaster.
Life is a big jungle, and the world is also a big jungle. We cannot refuse this big jungle, nor can we just be prepared for it. Since that is the case, he will enjoy it. "Unknown" may be dangerous, but it is also a challenge. Perhaps, after the challenge, the next journey will be a beautiful "wonderland".
2. At least, you must follow the ups and downs, don’t wait in a daze. In fact, it is not only the epidemic that has caused an impact on our cognition and thinking. With the development of artificial intelligence , digital technology, quantum communication , new energy, etc., all walks of life in the world have been on the road of rapid transformation.
This naturally brought about huge changes in various work forms, talent needs and work concepts.
As early as 2017, McKinsey predicted that in the next 13 years, there will be 375 million workers who will have to switch tracks or learn new skills in order to re-adapt to the future transformation of the labor market.
Unexpectedly, the new crown epidemic that broke out halfway has greatly accelerated the occurrence and change of all the above.
According to the latest McKinsey survey, 87% of managers worldwide feel the skills gap in the human resources market, that is, 87% of professional managers feel that they can no longer keep up with the development of the times and the requirements of career skills.
This means that in the future, not only will enterprises worry about how to make up for this gap, but even we ourselves must be consciously improving our skills and even rebuilding our skills. Otherwise, you may not be able to find a good job in the future.
Faced with the influx of new trends, new technologies and new knowledge, how should we keep pace with the times and enhance our adaptability?
and it list a series of skills to be learned. The real change should start with our "heart"!
In fact, when discussing the so-called transformation, the key is not in the technology itself, but in our own "mentality".
Whether it is a company or an individual, if you want to keep up with the times and keep up with the changes in the times, of course, the professional and technical parts are just a part, not the whole. The real key point is actually the individual's learning ability and acceptance of new things.
In fact, in the specific work of , intelligence is not enough, and whether you can be competent is not determined by innate conditions. The real results are actually achieved by the correct mentality, environment support and acquired efforts.
So, when the tide comes, you can’t just close your eyes and wait for death. At least you have to flap in the tide. No matter what posture you use, you have to work hard to not let yourself sink. If you don’t sink, you will have the opportunity to adjust your direction and posture and you may win.
3. Before reaching the finish line, don’t draw conclusions too early
Since you are already in the tide, then start swimming.
When facing changes, the first thing needs to do is to get rid of the "standard mentality", that is, to abandon prejudices . Contrary to the growth mentality, people who hold a fixed mindset believe that a person's qualifications are innate, which will lead to self-righteousness, thinking that he can do whatever he wants, overestimate himself, and inadequately prepare, and easily get out early.
In contrast, some people will think that their intelligence and talents are limited, and ignore the need to supplement their shortcomings, but instead deliberately highlight the abilities they already have, and will also be eliminated.
The biggest advantage of people with a growth mindset is that even if they are not as qualified as others, they will not feel uneasy about it, because they believe that this is just a "starting point". As long as they work hard enough in the future and accumulate experience step by step, they will have the opportunity to achieve their goals and make breakthroughs in their abilities.
nothing is unchanging. It mainly depends on yourself. As long as you work in the right direction, you will have the opportunity to stand out.
4. If it fails, treat it as an opportunity
Secondly, learn to be fearless of failure.
When a person believes that hard work can bring change and he has unlimited potential, even if he encounters setbacks, he will not easily give up, self-doubt, and self-deny. Instead, he can regard every failure as a valuable learning opportunity.
A psychologist conducted an experiment to ask different primary school students to solve multiple puzzles, the difficulty of the questions goes from simple to deeper, and observe their reactions during the process. What surprised him was that some children did not feel frustrated when they encountered difficult problems and could not understand the answers, but instead showed an excited expression and wanted to continue to accept the challenge.
Just like these children, no one will like the taste of failure. The biggest difference between people with a growth mindset and people without a growth mindset is not that they will not fail, but that they define failure as "learning". In this way, every failure is not failure, but that it turns into an opportunity to learn.
What we need now is to bring this mentality to the workplace, which can not only encourage ourselves to be brave enough to try and challenge more difficult work content at work, but also adjust ourselves to adjust the pressure when we receive difficult tasks and stimulate more potential.
At any time, don’t “pursuing perfection” and be too harsh. Once we are too strict with ourselves and others, we are easily trapped in guilt and guilt. In this way, we cannot absorb the knowledge and experience we absorb through review, and we cannot apply it to the next action.
5. Acknowledge the meaning of hard work, learn to think beyond your own nature, and people cannot never make mistakes, and their work cannot always be stormy. Therefore, how an individual views setbacks and challenges will determine his growth rate and ability to adapt.
Our thinking will affect our behavior, and our behavior will affect the final result.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, the current workplace environment we are in is very uncertain and work is becoming more difficult.
The company is facing life and death, and employees may face crises such as performance declines, work form changes, and large-scale layoffs; while middle and senior management personnel have to shoulder the huge pressure to boost team morale and maintain operations at the same time.
In the midst of these difficulties, how should we maintain our enthusiasm for work and continue to move forward with a positive attitude?
I think the most important thing is that should transcend the thinking, learn to give value to your work, learn to affirm yourself, and make yourself feel that hard work is meaningful .
If you go to work just for food and clothing, you will lack a sense of mission for your job content and work itself. Once you encounter difficulties, you will feel that life is difficult and want to give up. But if this job has its unique value, we can gain a "sense of happiness" from it and are willing to work hard to overcome difficulties and pursue progress.
If you are a supervisor and you only understand the position of supervisor, you will not be motivated enough, and you may not be able to persist for a long time when it is really difficult.
But if you think: I am not only the supervisor of my team, but also the leader of this team, I not only have to lead them to complete work tasks, but also help them build hope when they are disappointed and ignite their ideals when they are confused, then your understanding of this job will be different.
Similarly, when you work and work, you don’t feel that you are just working and making money and supporting your family. You also cultivate your juniors, inherit your skills, build your motherland, be a role model for your children, and build a harbor for your family, do you instantly feel that the responsibilities you shoulder are different, and the energy bursting out from your body is different?
If you can really do this, you may not be confused.
