The Source Of Pain In The Workplace: Limited Self-Knowledge

Being in the workplace, some people have smooth sailing, and some people are struggling.
The pain in the workplace, partly from the objective environment, but more importantly, or from their own cognitive limitations.

There is a saying: "The degree of your cognition is the upper limit of your life."
A person's cognition guides his behavior, which in turn determines the direction of his life.
Most of the pain in the workplace comes from cognitive "confusion".

I don't know the focus of the work, the result is not recognized.
Work performance is the foundation of the workplace. If you don't know the focus of your work, you won't get good results and rewards.

A friend's company has an employee, enthusiastic, colleagues have what big and small things to find her, she always come to refuse.

Every day at her workstation, she is very busy: while knocking on those never-ending documents, reports, while replying to questions in WeChat, but also keep answering the phone.

Even so, she was often criticized by her leaders for failing to submit some reports on time and not updating some data in time.

At the end of the day, her coworkers shut down their computers with a smile on their faces and started a rich spare time life, but she often sighed and continued to work overtime.

A few years down the line, other colleagues were promoted and transferred to other positions, but she remained in the same place.Gradually, she changed from a "model worker" to a "complainer": complaining about her workload and how hard she worked, but not getting the results she deserved.

But from the perspective of her leaders and colleagues, it was her own way of working that was the problem.
Her work lacks rules and regulations, the work content is not prioritized, often the beard and eyebrows a grasp, in the end, the important things are not completed on schedule, of course, do not get good results.
And the workplace, the most valued is the result.

Highly skilled people do things, never put the average distribution of energy and time, but always have to focus on the most important, the most urgent things, will be All in those things that can best reflect the self-worth.

The way of work in the workplace, is to do things in order: light and heavy have different, urgent and slow degrees, heavy results, light process, dare to say "no", refuse to blindly busy.

There are rules and regulations of the busy, carry out the work of the focus of the busy, there will be good results.
There are good results, only people are willing to pay the bill, in order to get the expected return.

Can not carry their own position, the relationship into the passive
The best relationships have a sense of boundaries.
There is a passage circulating on the Internet: between friends, keep a cup of water distance; between relatives, keep a bowl of soup distance; and between lovers, keep a piece of paper distance.
And relatives, friends, but also to maintain a distance, let alone the workplace.

Lack of a sense of boundaries in the workplace, often brings offense. The result of offense is passive workplace relationships, and in severe cases, it can lead to disaster.
In the workplace, and other people, especially the leader, too close, light offense, serious is a disaster.

Many things, again curious can not ask;
Many things, know can not say;
Many things, see through but can not say through;
Many things, the temptation is great, but also can not do.

Carry a clear position, maintain a clear sense of boundaries, learn to be a person with a sense of proportion, in order to let us in the workplace in and out of the evidence, handle things with ease.

Can't carry their own weight, lose the platform empowerment
One of the major misconceptions in the workplace is to mistake the platform for the ability.

A straw, thrown in the street, is no one wants the garbage; and cabbage bundled together, can be sold on the price of cabbage; if tied together with hairy crabs, can be sold on the price of hairy crabs.

The value of one's workplace is inseparable from the empowerment of the platform.
There is a solid saying on the Internet: leaving the platform, you are nothing.

It may not be absolutely correct. But at least remind us to always ask ourselves: after removing the platform, what is left of ourselves.

Those skills and resources that can't be taken away are ultimately not our own.
Carrying a clear weight of their own, to those given by the platform, to be extraordinarily cherish.

Most of the pain in the workplace comes from cognitive confusion. To avoid these pains, we need to be clear:
Carry out the focus of the work, do things reliably, form a closed loop, and achieve the desired results;

Carry out their own position, maintain the awareness of the boundaries, and have a degree of affinity in the relationship;
Clearly carry their own weight, relying on the platform empowerment, personal growth.
