Recently, Zhao Ming, a drummer in Black Panther band, held a photo of a thermos cup, which triggered the topic of 35-year-old middle-aged crisis.

Does the thermos cup really expose the midlife crisis?

Netizen pig's hoof expressed his understanding of the real middle-aged crisis:

You are 38 years old, middle-level in a big company, and the supervisor is six years younger than you. The company's new freshman, master of Boston University, works hard and earns 8,000 yuan a month.

The environment is not very good. The department next door has laid off staff, so you dare not leave. You have a 90-square-meter old two-bedroom apartment in the North Fourth Ring Road. The monthly payment is 12000, and the son's early education class is 20000 a semester.

Your post is your grave.

35 years old seems to be a hurdle in most people's career. After 35 years old, you can be called "a big age" in the workplace.

The gap between people is also widening at this time: some people are still in low-skilled positions, sending resumes everywhere, and even need to compete with newly graduated college students; At the same time, many colleagues and former colleagues have been promoted and raised all the way, and the offer has been very soft.

Assuming that the starting point is similar, the real reason for the gap between the two is actually the difference in working ability.

Okubo Yukio, a Japanese professional research expert, pointed out in his book 12 Work Basis that if you want to change jobs after the age of 35, you must meet two conditions: having professional knowledge and skills that are common in the industry; Accumulate solid leadership experience and skills.

For most people: in the golden age of 25 to 55, one-third of life is spent in the workplace; 24 hours a day, except for 8 hours of sleep, work takes up half of the waking time.

It can be seen that most of people's life is spent at work. Therefore, the value of work largely determines the value and happiness of life.

However, many people lack enough attention and careful planning, and think about stagnant and mechanical work day after day. The so-called ten-year work experience is nothing more than repeating ten years with one year's work experience. Such people dare not jump ship easily and fall into the crisis of being eliminated at any time.

If you want to get along well in the workplace, or at least survive, you must constantly improve yourself and form your core competitiveness.

In this regard, 12 Work Basis puts forward 12 basic work ability that everyone in the workplace should cultivate.

The basic abilities of 12 are: among these abilities, we must first learn these three abilities: goal discovery, continuous learning and professional construction. 03

Target discovery ability

Goal-finding ability is your ability to set goals for your work. Usually, the problem is found first, and then the goal is to solve it.

People with goals can not only find personal career development and work goals, but also consider the prospects and overall goals of the enterprise.

On the contrary, the "standby family" passively waits for tasks, looks at problems superficially, and pursues the workplace philosophy of "muddling along".

And many people have no goals because they have no ability to find problems.

The mechanism of finding problems is actually very simple. First, find the gap between the ideal state and the realistic state; Secondly, take the specific strategy and tactics to eliminate the gap as the action goal.

This goal should be an achievable dream and can be put into concrete action. There are three skills to improve the ability of target discovery:

(1) fine timing

Divide the time into many small parts, determine the goals to be achieved one by one, and write down detailed arrangements on them, so that the goals can easily jump to the page.

Focus on one job in a limited time, so as to cultivate concentration, which is the practice of pomodoro technique. For example, divide a day's schedule into small parts every 25 minutes or 30 minutes, and focus on only one job at a fixed time.

② Impression of success

Always imagine your ideal state at work and the specific scene after success. For example, foreseeing in advance how the work will be carried out: "What will happen if we do this, and then …" will naturally clarify the next step.

③ Flexible use of the boss.

Thinking about the goals you should achieve with your boss will make your boss feel that you attach great importance to your work, and on the other hand, you can learn from your boss's successful experience. Although the boss may not be able to provide you with a specific plan, he can at least give you helpful suggestions from the general direction.

04

Continuous learning ability

Continuous learning ability refers to the habit of learning necessary knowledge when necessary.

According to the survey, only 18.8% people have the habit of continuous learning. In fact, the gap between people is actually the gap of habits.

A writer once said:

When your time is no longer used for deep learning, when your attention is divided by others, when you only watch variety shows and TV dramas, when you stay in groups for longer and longer, when your execution is getting worse and worse, when you evaluate others more and more times, when you complain more and more times, when you recall the past more and more times ... destruction has happened.

In the information age, without the consciousness of lifelong learning, we can't adapt to the radical society, and the danger will come unconsciously.

There are two things to learn: first, work experience and skills; The second is books in different fields. There are three specific improvement methods:

① Habituation

Develop the habit of studying in your spare time in a fast-paced life.

Man is a habitual animal. After the formation of new habits, a series of behaviors triggered by new habits will become an instinct.

2 concentrate.

Attention is your most important resource. You have your concerns. To concentrate, we must find the interest and motivation in learning, minimize external interference, and maintain the inertia of concentration.

③ Determine short-term goals.

Naturally, this small goal is not "making a billion dollars first", but the goal of refining it to the present and seeing the effect in a short time. Setting short-term goals as nodes is easy to motivate yourself to stick to it.

05

Professional construction ability

It refers to the ability to establish one's own unique advantages in a planned way and grow into an expert in a specific field.

Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management scientist, believes that the time for experts has come.

The most sought-after people in enterprises are often experts, that is, T-type talents. The so-called T-type talents refer to: wide knowledge, wide knowledge and good thinking habits, which is a horizontal direction; Have the depth of the field, be an expert and be vertical; It would be better if there were more field depth, such as ∏-type talents.

To become an expert, we must first decide what field to choose as our major, and consider it from four aspects:

Choose an area where you have accumulated a lot of experience;

Understand whether there is a high demand in this field in society;

Whether it can reach a certain level in a short time;

I can imagine that I like working in this field.

When cultivating professional architectural strength, we can start from three points:

(1) both theory and practice.

It not only means applying theory to practice, but also means explaining practical experience in theory.

Therefore, we should not only read many professional books in this field, but also enter this field in a down-to-earth manner and accumulate experience through practice.

② Take notes.

Taking good notes not only helps to accumulate knowledge, but also deepens the connection between theory and reality.

There are many ways to take notes. The key is to find the one that suits you.

③ Establish a network with other experts.

In a win-win society, an effective interpersonal network can exchange needed goods. Finally, if you want to have an open future, you must settle down and constantly improve your ability.

And this ability can not be cultivated overnight, and it needs to be polished slowly for a lifetime.

Be early, besides being famous, you should also study. If it is not early, it is now.

The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now.
