Well, this is my life creed.
Du Niang said that the creed of life is that a person accumulates experience and summarizes lessons in the process of life, and finally forms a set of relatively fixed principles, which is simply the principle of being a man.
My understanding is a little different: believe, believe. It is an inscription that is constantly summarized, and I believe that life can move forward accordingly.
Today, I want to talk about talents.
Talent can be simply understood as talent, the ability to be good at something or certain fields or great enthusiasm.
And my talent is not "good" or "enthusiasm" two words can be summarized. I have a special obsession with the understanding of talent. I think talent is a force that can lead you forward. Maybe you were born with it, or maybe you didn't know it clearly, and didn't know that it would give you strength. It may exert immeasurable energy in your life.
As for me, I am a foodie. I not only love eating, but also know how to eat. (smelly shameless boast. . . ) When I was very young, whenever I ate, my elders at home would say, Let Xiaojun eat first, and she said it would be close to delicious. Hmm. . . It's a little weird to think about it now. Am I a silver needle?
Haha, it's a pleasure to be considered a little gourmet since childhood, at least it represents a kind of recognition.
Maybe I love eating, or maybe I have a father who loves cooking. I have been in the kitchen since primary school, carefully watching how my father cooks and how those strange creatures turn into a table of delicious food. . . In a word, I know my dad's specialty like the back of my hand.
After college, my roommates and I often wandered around the food pedestrian street outside the school, and basically ate all the restaurants during the whole college period. I think delicious food still exists today. I don't think I can see it for a while. I think it will be closed, and then, there will be no more. . . So that when I was having dinner with my friends, I would ask: Do you think this store can still live?
Well, I have such a vicious tongue. . .
Later, I worked part-time as a private bakery owner. Now make Ejiao cake, make jam cookies after work, and share healthy handmade food with friends. I think this kind of life is a bit smoky.
And this, I have to thank myself for this gift of eating goods.
Besides being a bit of a researcher on eating, I'm still a chatterbox. Oh, I'm sorry to say that I have a little talent for languages ~
By language talent, I mean not only the ability to learn a language, but also the ability to master a language, such as the ability and skills to communicate with others. My undergraduate major is tourism management. During my college years, I learned consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation because I like English. After learning English, I did a lot of exhibition translation, and then worked as a part-time domestic wine salesman in a foreign company, and my immediate supervisor was a foreign boss. After graduation, he successfully entered Unilever, a fortune 500 company in the world, and engaged in sales work. (Omit 10,000 words here and write dry goods later. )
Choosing tourism management major (communication with people)-learning English (language talent)-doing translation (talent use)-wine sales (communication with people)-Unilever sales (communication with people) are all exercises of language ability, which are based on talent and ultimately benefit from their own talent.
So, my friend, what is your gift?
My cousin Jiang Mumu graduated from graduate school this year, majoring in electronic engineering. The undergraduate major is also "electricity", but it is not in the same strain as the master major. So he encountered many difficulties in doing research and writing his graduation thesis, and the whole person lost a circle. When he chatted with me, I was very surprised at the lack of confidence in his words. Is this still the high-spirited teenager who has achieved excellent results for four years, held an important position in the school organization and won many awards in the competition?
He said, "Sister, I don't know if I can draw a new conclusion by walking around my thesis."
"Elder sister, do you think I should stay in the current Electric Power Research Institute or go back to my hometown power supply bureau?"
I asked him, "What kind of life do you want to live after graduation?"
He thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "A stable income can help him work, support his parents and wife, and spend more time with his family."
Jiang Mumu's family is under great pressure. As an elder sister, she knows exactly what he wants "stability". He also has a stable girlfriend and hopes to get married after graduation.
"But I still have a hard time choosing. Big cities always have an attraction that small towns don't have. "
I asked again, "What talent do you think you have?"
He is a little confused, and thinks that the word "talent" is a bit big, and he doesn't know where to answer. I explained it to him and told him the above example about myself.
He shook his head and said he didn't know. Then I thought about it: "I don't know what my talent is, but I think I may not have the talent to do research."
This time it was my turn to laugh: "Congratulations, brother, you know what you want."
It is true that many of us talk about what kind of life I want all day, but in fact, most people don't know what kind of life they really want. Life is long, knowing that you are not good at anything and have no talent in any way is a great talent. Not knowing your talent is a kind of adverse selection, which can rule out the life you shouldn't choose, and it is just a small step to discover your talent.
Miss Ling is a friend I have known for a short time, and we talked very well, even it was a brief encounter.
After graduating from college, she worked for an old media company in Guangzhou, and later came out to start a business with the company's predecessors. She contributed to the establishment of a famous inn brand.
When I first met her, she had just left the inn. She said, "I'm too tired to have time for myself. I feel confused. I seem to be very busy every day and I can't see any results. "
I chuckled. Such a good girl sometimes gets confused.
During the conversation, I learned that this is a woman with traditional cultural feelings. She used to run an inn out of such feelings. The girl from Ling, without any employment pressure, seems to be very happy. With such professional and entrepreneurial experience, I am not afraid that there are no good companies to throw olive branches. The point is, does she want to go?
She said: "I want to slowly precipitate myself, pursue what I like, and become a person with strength in some special projects or fields, instead of being busy every day and not knowing what to do."
I smiled: "Is that the person who became a consultant?" At that time, the word "slash youth" was not popular. Now think about it, that's probably what it means.
She thought about it and nodded her head.
When I saw her again, she was already doing what she liked. Go back to Guangzhou and do the inheritance training of traditional culture such as tea art and embroidery. There is a book about tea art in her backpack, and she is happy to show us the new skills she has learned.
This job is basically out of touch with the previous job, without the previous high salary, but with relatively free time, let her study, let her think, let her settle down, and gradually become the self who lives with peace of mind.
This woman who loves traditional culture in her bones is moving forward happily with her talent.
Jiang Mumu told me recently that he has decided to return to work in the power supply bureau. He doesn't know what talent he has yet, but this is not the most important thing for him at this stage. Choice means a new beginning. You will find your talents in the journey of exploration, and then strengthen your faith and move forward step by step.
If you are not good at words, you will often be criticized for not knowing how to communicate with others. But you are good at writing carefully, why not try to do copywriting?
If you like dressing up and are often wronged by your boss, why not try to be a slash youth as an image consultant?
If you only eat like me, why not try to bring more delicious food to everyone?
Maybe, maybe, we will all have different gains.
Most of us are ordinary people, ordinary people, who is so easy to have the talent to dare to speak and dare to suppress one side? However, everyone has something he is good at, likes and loves. He kept exploring at different stages of life, and found a "talent" that you may not have faced up to before, and believed that this kind of talent, which may not be obvious, would have great power and eventually precipitate into the person you always wanted to be.
May your talents live up to your expectations and all your feelings be respected.
Little red lion girl, occasionally funny, sometimes literary, love food, good fitness, like entrepreneurship, running on the road to becoming a slash youth. Life creed: Talent is the best, and food can't live up to it.
