Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, horses travel thousands of miles to eat grass, live fish go upstream, and dead fish go with the flow. There is such a sentence that I appreciate: "Are you really tired? Tired is right, comfort is reserved for the dead!
What happens if you go with the flow? Let's look at a true story first.
Cousin who doesn't want to go with the flow
My cousin suddenly called me to complain some time ago. He said he would be more proactive than others in the company. As a result, many colleagues don't like getting along with him as much as before recently, and even some colleagues reported him to the leader. Cousin feels wronged. Does he think it is wrong to be proactive in the workplace?
So I asked my cousin, have you ever done anything in the company that embarrassed your colleagues?
My cousin said indignantly, "In fact, I really didn't do anything high-profile. Only occasionally do leaders ask us if we can improve the performance of the team at work, and everyone keeps silent, while I just say some thoughts about my work.
After listening to my cousin's story, I realized that the reason why my colleagues crowded him out was to tell him not to be so conspicuous, to suffer a little and to hit the first bird. I comforted my cousin on the phone and said, "You are right. I think you just did what you had to do. You should always keep this working state, talk less and do more, and strive to consolidate your basic skills. Never mind what your colleagues think of you. After all, you are not RMB, so it is impossible to ask everyone to like you. Instead, we should focus on our own growth. "
Choose hard work
When you are young, if you choose to go along with those who are not motivated at work, learn to play tricks, pass the buck and muddle along prematurely, and try to live a life you like, you will not achieve real success and may be fired by your boss at any time.
So I am willing to continue to struggle, rather than go with the flow.
