There Is No Job That Is Not Aggravating, Every Job Is A Practice

Jack Welch was once known as the world's strongest CEO.
In 1961, Welch had been working for General Electric for a year.
Because of his excellent work and significant contributions to the company, he received an extremely high annual rating.

At this time, the company gave him a salary increase of 1,000 U.S. dollars, Welch was overjoyed, thinking that this is the company affirmed his value.
What he didn't realize was that everyone else in the office got the same raise as he did.

Welch was not happy about this, he thought, he paid more, he should get more pay.
Welch went to the company's theory, the explanation is: this is a pre-determined wage fluctuation of the standard.

This answer does not make Welch satisfied, he felt that the company should be treated differently on the issue of employee salaries.

For this reason, Welch whining all day long, more than one day than the day of mourning, and even produced the idea of resignation.

One day, the head of the department called Welch to the office, said to him in a serious manner:

"You come to the company although only one year, but I appreciate your talent and enthusiasm for work. After the road is long, complaining all day long, no intention to work, will only waste the company this big stage, do not you want to one day to stand in the center of this big stage?"

At this point, he came to his senses and stopped doing useless complaining, but continued to utilize his talents and show his sharpness.

Later, he became a project leader, leading his team to tackle problems and challenges, and he also volunteered to be the head of the processing plant, leading the materials revolution in manufacturing.

Just seven years later, at the age of 33, he became the youngest president ever of General Motors.

Looking back on his career, Welch calls that conversation with his boss the one that changed his fate.

Author William Ward said:
"Pessimists complain about the blowing wind; optimists wait for the wind to change; realists adjust the direction of the wind."

If Welch hadn't woken up in time, even if he had been good, he would have been lost in the grumbling.

Change of state of mind, positive and difficult to die, before becoming a master of the profession.

From being at the helm of a company to doing an hourly job, there are difficulties and unfairness in any job.

And a person's attitude towards challenges often determines his height at work.
In 1967, American psychologist Seligman conducted an experiment.

He put a dog in a cage and gave the dog an electric shock whenever a buzzer sounded.
After many experiments, Seligman changed his approach.
After he rang the buzzer, he opened the cage door first.

To one's surprise, the dog did not run away, but simply fell to the ground moaning and trembling all over, giving up the chance to escape from the cage.

Once people get used to complaining, they will fall into a state of learned helplessness.

Difficulties are like the "buzzer", when we encounter a problem, the first reaction is not how to solve it, but to complain negatively, we will be trapped in the negative energy magnetic field.

I know a senior in the movie and television industry who talked about a past incident.

One year, he went on a business trip with the head of his department because he undertook the task of shooting a promotional video for a company.

But the company suddenly threw their department an urgent task, have to cut a five-minute short film within three days, he complained while working overtime unwillingly.

It was hard to rush out at 12 o'clock on the night before the trip, but the company booked the earliest air ticket for them to save money, and on the way, with dark circles under his eyes, he complained about the company's inhumanity.

By the time he met with the client, the client was stuck with a cost of one to two hundred thousand dollars, but with the popular Tokyo city promotional video as the production standard, requiring both creative, but also three-dimensional animation special effects, a lot of aerial photography.

The senior just went out and started to curse again.
When I was talking about this, Senpai asked me specifically if his reaction was considered normal when it came to these things.

I nodded.
Instead, the senior said that that leader modeled a different attitude for him.

When he was spouting off about the company's inhumane system, his leader only cared about the quality of the finished video, going frame by frame to withhold details.

When he was scolding the customer for being unreasonable, his leader had already picked up a pen to write and draw on a piece of paper, from the pre-production photography, to the post-production dubbing and animation, calculating the cost, and seriously considering whether it was necessary to take this order.

This business trip experience let seniors wake up to the realization that the gap between man and man, is so slowly pulled apart.

He kept an eye on the sand that pinched his feet, and complained once when he rolled in one.

But his leader didn't care how much sand was under his feet and just walked his way.

Bill Gates said, "Learn to accept the inevitable reality, learn to cope with the problems caused by defects, and don't complain about it."

In the face of difficulties, the heart complains is a kind of instinct, solve the problem is a kind of ability.
Instead of spending time and energy on useless whining, it is better to improve yourself with a positive mindset.

Someone asked architect I.M. Pei, "What do you think about the outside world picking on you?"

I.M. Pei said without a care in the world, "I never think about these problems because I am always immersed in how to solve problems."

No job is uncomplaining, and every job is a practice.
When you stop complaining about your job, that is the beginning of your strength.
