Looking For A Job As A Battle For Survival

The workplace is like a battlefield. It should be a great experience for millions of job seekers who are rushing to the job market.

However, in real life, there are always some people who win battles repeatedly in the "battlefield" of job hunting. Some people do not have enough time to solve the problem.

I think the following two stories are very revealing.

The first story is that a hungry rat fell into a rice bowl with more than half a cylinder of rice. In the face of such a wonderful meal, the mouse was delighted.

When it spent a day in the rice bowl, "after eating, sleeping, sleeping and eating", it decided to regard this rice bowl as its "home".

The days began to start worrying about eating and drinking. The body of mice grew fatter day by day, and the rice in the pot was reduced day by day. Finally, one day, the rice in the jar was eaten by rats, but the rat, who had eaten the round and round, could no longer escape from the rice bowl.

Second stories about a donkey, who accidentally fell into a dry well, cried out for help, and waited for the owner to save it.

The owner of the donkey summoned everyone to save it, but there were many ways to do it.

At last, everyone thought that the donkey was old anyway, so it was better to fill up the dry well so as not to have similar tragedies later.

When the first shovel of soil was thrown into the dry well, the noise of the donkey was even more severe. It did not want the owner to bury it like this.

But when the second shovel of soil was thrown down, the donkey was quiet.

Later, when a shovel of soil was continuously thrown into the dry well, people were surprised to find that the donkey kept shaking off the soil on its back, and stepped the earth under its feet.

In this way, the donkey finally got out of the dry well under the help of those "fill in the well".

The philosophies behind the two dead mice in the rice bowl and the newly born donkeys out of the dry well are exactly what the author put forward in front of the article.

It is easy to say a job as a battle for survival, but when faced with "the superior compensation, the comfortable position" like "the mouse in the rice bowl", how many will keep in mind the harsh reality of "job hunting", such as "seeking survival"?

In the process of finding a job, a person may encounter many opportunities to fall into a rice bowl.

In the face of opportunity and trap, the job seeker is to be a "mouse" who seeks comfort but eventually dies, or to be a "donkey" who is able to accept his soil buried in a calm way and a little closer to the well head.

Where do we go from?

Job seekers are enlightened when they understand something.
