Others go to work at 8 o'clock and get off at 5 o'clock, but I go to work at 6 o'clock and get off work at 7 o'clock, because the boss said, "If the contractor doesn't look at him, he will cut corners." You will be lucky no matter how hard you work!

80% of us have entered a company that we think is pretty good after applying for a job, interviewing, and passing the test; we have dreams and work hard, hoping that through our intelligence and hard work, we can carve out our own world in the company. Of course I am no exception.

When I first started working, I was a grassroots construction worker, leading a group of temporary workers to do waterproofing projects on the roof of the building on the hottest days, just because the leader said "the hotter the weather, the better the bonding effect." Others went to work at 8 o'clock and got off work at 5 o'clock. I also responded to this sentence: One year later, I was promoted to team leader. Three years later, I was transferred to the office and found that the "old man" in the office didn't look down on me at all. The desire to get ahead had never been so strong, so I worked like crazy, without resting on holidays, and worked overtime until 11 o'clock every night. "Five plus two, white plus black" was vividly demonstrated to me. Such hard work must have yielded great results: the safety standardization task I was responsible for was completed one year ahead of schedule; the file management I was responsible for became a benchmark for the upper level, and it only took me one year to do this. It happened that the deputy director of the office was retiring at the end of the year, and I was the most promising candidate.

html The competition for deputy director at the end of 2000 came as scheduled. Whether it was the work performance in the competition materials I prepared or the answers to the judges' questions, they were all outstanding. But the moment I heard the announcement of the results, it was like a thunderbolt. I didn't hear a word of the following words. I didn't react for a long time, and then I walked out of the conference room like a zombie. For a long time, I have been extremely depressed.

It wasn’t until a month later that I felt relieved. Later I learned that the main reason for failure in the competition was because of being excluded. I never took the exclusion seriously, because I always thought it was normal for me to be jealous of my excellence, but I never thought that if I was told no by 10 people, then I would definitely not be able to lead! I don’t think I can continue to be decadent and not think about myself or my family? So I started to analyze the reasons for being excluded.

1. I was promoted too quickly. From employee to squad leader, to section leader, to office, to supervisor, I was almost faster than most people, so I was jealous of others and was attacked by groups.

2. When I got to the office, I hindered the opportunity for the "old people" to take credit. They were all people with "expert hands and eyes", but I didn't care at all. It would be strange not to be excluded!

After finding out the reasons, I began to prioritize being a human being first and doing things second, and I paid more attention to being a human being!

1. No matter how great your achievements are, your attitude should be low.

From then on, no matter how good my grades were, I never showed my pride again. I was always secretly proud when I got home! So as not to stimulate other people's jealousy towards me and attract others to exclude me.

2. Treat guests in a high profile and behave in a low profile.

I started to invite my colleagues to dinner often, find out their strengths and praise them. Through repeated interactions, I later discovered that they really have many advantages and there are many things worth learning from them. Being low-key can not only reduce other people's jealousy, but also allow you to see other people's strengths.

3. Reveal my innocuous flaws when appropriate.

My handwriting is not good, so I often mention this to others; I don’t drink much, so I often show envy of other people’s drinking capacity. In fact, I don’t mean to show it, I am really envious. I think if I drink more, my grades will definitely be better.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Two years later, the deputy director was transferred and I successfully took over.

Anyone who puts his hands in his pockets cannot climb the ladder of success; don’t take yourself too seriously, let alone take others too seriously; lightning always strikes the highest object, so be low-key!
