Birds, Camels And Whale: 3 Stages Of Work

The analogy between the three animals of birds, camels and whale is not only applicable to work in the workplace, but also to work that does not enter the workplace or create itself.

The working people can be roughly divided into three stages according to the seniority of their seniority: fresh people, middle-level cadres and senior executives who have entered the society.

The three stages of work have different characteristics, each with different opportunities and risks.

Therefore, if we can recognize these three different stages of work, we will be able to better understand our role in different levels and get rid of some entanglement which is close to fatalism.

Those who work in these three stages can be compared to three kinds of animals.

A fresh man who has just entered the society, like a bird, has just hatched and began learning to fly.

The advantage of a bird facing the vast world is infinite opportunities and unlimited space to spread its wings.

But birds need to know exactly how they want to grow.

The advantage of birds is that they are not limited or restricted by environment, habits and conditions. Therefore, all kinds of novelty attempts and possibilities are under two wings.

You can choose to be a domestic bird and stop under other people's eaves; you can also choose to be a forest bird and live in a dense forest; you can also choose to become a migratory bird and travel around the world with the seasons.

But be careful, too.

Too many new choices will make you dazzled.

Or you choose to be a bird that is not suitable for your physical strength and nature.

Or, you constantly change the way you live, and finally forget what kind of bird you are.

Alternatively, you choose a convenient way to get away from the crowd and become a prey for someone else's slingshot.

After working for a while, becoming a strong cadre in a company or organization, you become a camel.

During this period, you have accumulated enough experience and ability in your job, so your company or your boss will trust you or use you to deliver the heavy workload to you.

In your life, you have become a family, or you have a family responsibility to be a father and a mother.

At this time, camels are no longer able to fly like birds, and even if there are opportunities for change, you will not dare to try.

Camels can only walk in the boundless desert.

The boss is like the scorching sun on the top of the desert; it belongs to the hot sand beneath the feet.

Two years of suffering, you can only walk humiliation and walk in silence.

The advantage of camels is that they are stable and seem to have almost no risk.

Most of your job has been very familiar with your job.

Not only ripe, but also the most familiar in the company - your new subordinates do not know you; your senior boss may have left the job for too long, and you do not remember clearly - you are a strong cadre who can be relied on.

The risk of camels is also smooth. It seems that there is hardly any chance.

The yellow sand is endless.

You are entrusted with the heavy responsibility, so everything is right.

Even the burden you put on you is so heavy that even your shadow is drowned.

You are not only a camel, but also a forgotten camel.

Occasionally, when you are resting in the night, when you look at the meteor on the horizon, you will make a wish to get rid of this fate.

The camel may envy another animal, whale.

Fortunately, from the top floor of the backbone cadres to the top decision-makers and leaders of a company or organization, it became a whale, and from a dry desert to a vast sea of freedom.

Long winds, others congratulate you; boundless sea and sky, you expect yourself.

Horizons and boundaries are very different.

You lift the burden on your back and you can enjoy yourself in the ocean.

However, when you enter the ocean, you have to accept everything in the ocean.

The sunny days are yours, and the days of stormy weather are yours.

The most important thing is that you have to move forward without stopping.

You do not have the right to rest on the shore - the ashore of whale is grounded, and it is to die.

The three animals have their own different opportunities and risks, depending on how you look at them.

Many people say I am a workaholic because I like to talk about everything.

I don't think so.

Of course, no workaholic can admit that he is a workaholic.

I only benefit a lot from my work, so I have a job.

Love.

Because of my work, I turn from ignorance to an eye opener; because of my work, I turn from a mild to a mild one; because of my work, I move from impatience to calmness.

Because of my work, my attitude towards life has changed.

In 1989, in a strange encounter, I suddenly learned that because of severe distortion of the spine, I may not be able to come any more.

Looking at the X light, I was stunned by the serious injury to my spine.

The doctor told me: the best option is not to go to work, to quit home, and try to do some work on the side to avoid further deterioration of the spine.

So I went to a small island in Hawaii by myself.

Do I have to go home to do some static work in order to spend more time, or continue to work as I like, and at the end of the day, my spine may suddenly collapse without pressure?

After thinking for a week, I chose the latter.

It is better to concentrate life on the sprint than to limit life in order to live more years.

More than 10 years passed, and I was not dead.

But until today, the spinal crisis has not been lifted.

This is why I often shout to lose weight, which is really not related to beauty.

I always can not slow down the pace of work, part of the personality, and partly related to this.

Since life is impermanent, we should make full use of it as much as possible.

Later, all the way to run, there are gains and losses, and also formed some attitude towards life.

It's not the reason for my work. I can't do it.

My inspiration for work is only a little bit.

(two pictures with spine)

Work has long been the biggest proportion of our lives.

Just one

In terms of whether or not we like to work, it occupies an important position in our life.

The time we can spend on our most intimate people and the things we are most interested in can never be compared to work in terms of quality or quantity.

So, how do we view work, how to view life and how to make good use of our work, that is, how to make good use of life.

This is not due to the difference in industry or position.

Everyone has one.

。

Each job is telling and inspiring its unique meaning.

It depends on whether we can listen and understand.

People working at different levels are different animals.

Different animals have different destinies and different ways of existence.

Making money is just one of the means of survival.

So, I want to talk about work instead of making money.

It is the purpose of this book to talk about work, talk about the role of different stages of work, and how to use and enjoy the advantages and disadvantages of these roles.

Besides, the analogy between the three animals of birds, camels and whale not only applies to the work in the workplace, but also includes the work that does not enter the workplace or create themselves.

The concept of "grassroots", "backbone cadres" and "decision-makers" should be replaced by "newcomers", "seasoned" and "masters".
