Work hard to the end what matters is mental capacity

You may choose to continue to work instead of retiring early to enjoy life. You should then learn how to work smartly without destroying your health.

When you work, your work attitude matters. If you can hold joy and anger in your work, you will naturally gain strength. You work hard to the end, and what you fight for is your internal capacity.

The pain of today’s work is no longer physical pain, but our spiritual confusion.

Professor Liang Yongan

In today’s workplace, everyone will experience breaking points and encounter difficult problems. The troubles and pressure at work often make us exhausted physically and mentally, and fall into endless mental consumption.

People are like computers. They need a large memory to hold more things in order to move freely in life.

Writer Ye Yanbin

When you go to work, you will encounter many misunderstandings as well as all kinds of grievances and confusions. You might as well upgrade your memory and continuously expand your mental capacity so that you can calmly deal with all the troubles at work.

01 Increase emotional memory

Financial writer Mario once proposed the concept of emotional capacity.

He pointed out that everyone’s emotions have a certain capacity, and once they are full, the emotions will burst out and destroy you. Only by continuously improving your emotional memory can bad emotions not overflow and cause harm to you.

Advertiser Zhao Gugua once told his own experience in a book.

At one time, he was assigned a project. He was busy planning the project and often worked overtime until two in the morning. A few months later, he finished the project and submitted the plan to his boss.

He received an email from his boss the same night. The boss not only rejected his plan, but also said that he had not been working hard recently.

Zhao Gugua collapsed at that moment. Thinking of the hard work he had put in during this period of time, he was both aggrieved and angry.

He immediately jumped up and responded to the email from his boss, describing how hard he had worked and complaining about how difficult the work was.

After finishing writing, he suddenly calmed down.

He began to ask himself: If I were the boss and I was dissatisfied with my subordinate’s work, would what I want to see be his excuses and complaints?

With this in mind, he deleted all the words he had typed before, and finally only replied with one sentence:

“I will reflect on the recent problems and rectify them as soon as possible.”

After that, he began to reflect on what the problem was and he re-conceived and modified the plan. Soon, he came up with an optimized second version of the plan. Not only did it pass smoothly this time with his boss, he also won an award from the company.

At work, everyone has moments when he loses control of their emotions. Harsh criticism from leaders, difficulties from customers, and misunderstandings from colleagues will all make a person collapse. Only by making your heart bigger so that you are able to hold these bad emotions, will you not be overwhelmed by negative energy.

As Bi Shumin said, if a person can hold joy and anger, he will naturally gain strength.

In the face of all kinds of pressure, grievances and dissatisfaction at work, please exercise restraint and learn to accept it.

Continuously increase your emotional memory and reduce unnecessary consumption, so that you can focus on solving problems and go further in the workplace.

02 Upgrade cognitive memory

We saw a thought-provoking picture. A man was locked in an iron cage. He stretched a tree-branch in his hand forward, trying to catch the bread in front of him. However, he turned a blind eye to the key that could open the cage next to him.

There are many people like this at work who only focus on temporary benefits and fail to see long-term development, which results in limiting their own growth.

People with insufficient knowledge will see only some meaningless things and search desperately, but they will not change their destiny in the slightest.

In the adult world, constantly expanding your cognitive memory and improving your horizons are opening up more possibilities for your life.

After graduating from university, writer Liu Tong worked in a television station. At that time, there were nearly ten graduates applying and working at the same time, and everyone was doing the same job every day. After a while, Liu Tong discovered that he was the only one working nearly fifteen hours a day, busy shooting, editing, and planning scripts. Everyone else was just trying to be lazy, and at the end of the day, they only had less than six hours of actual work.

He felt that he was so stupid and complained to his friends: Everyone gets the same salary, why do I have to work so hard?

Unexpectedly, his friend said: It is wrong to think so. In fact, there are only so many jobs, and you are in a competitive relationship. The more you do, the more exercise you get, and the more experience and growth you gain in the end. In fact, you are stealing other people’s opportunities!

These words made Liu Tong wake up from his dream. From that moment on, he stopped complaining and focused on his work. A few years later, while those applicants were still spinning around, Liu Tong became the company’s vice president step by step.

Masters do not have better abilities than us, higher IQs than us, or better concentration than us. It’s just that they think deeper than we do, they see more broadly than we do, and they see the larger system.

Leap

People with lower cognition have more short-sightedness and can only draw a line in their own world. Only by breaking through the boundaries of thinking and upgrading cognitive memory can we break the shackles that imprison ourselves and see problems from a higher level.

As the saying goes, choice determines destiny, and cognition determines choice. Learn to improve inwardly, be compatible outwardly, and continue to empower your brain, so that you can continuously achieve leaps and bounds in your work.

03 Expand the layout memory

Kazuo Inamori once elaborated on his one pot of water philosophy.

There will always be times in a person’s life when he is short of water. And when others need help, you hand over a jug of water and give them some help. When you are in trouble, they will try their best to repay you.

He concluded.

Going through life with an altruistic mind can enhance a person’s sense of accomplishment and happiness. In the end, the rewards will come back to oneself, which is also beneficial to oneself.

Whether in life or work, when dealing with people, you might as well care less and be more altruistic. When your situation improves, every contribution you make to others will eventually be repaid to yourself.

Financial writer Cheng Jie told a story.

A businessman went to the city to do business and opened a restaurant on a snack street, but the business never took off. Not only his own shop, but all the shops on this street had few customers.

One night, the businessman looked out at the dim street and noticed that only the lights outside his shop were on. So the next day, he bought a few pairs of streetlights and asked his workers to install them at various intersections. Not only that, he also went to other store owners one by one to give them suggestions and analyze marketing strategies.

His business partner was very angry about this and didn’t understand why he should spend all this money to help his competitors. He smiled and said nothing.

After the lights are installed, the whole street becomes brightly lit at night. In addition, many merchants launched various activities according to the business’s suggestions, and a large number of customers came in at once. With the increase in customer traffic, the number of people coming to the businessman’s restaurant for food has continued to increase, and his business has quadrupled compared to before.

If you think of others, you will have more. If you give to others, you will have more of yourself.

Daode Jing

If you try your best to give to others, you will get more. The ultimate altruism is the best self-interest. Many times, instead of blocking the road in selfishness, it is better to broaden your pattern memory.

Learn to think of others and lend a helping hand to others when encountering problems. Please believe that your kindness will eventually benefit yourself, and in the process of helping others, it will also continue to achieve your career.

04 A brief summary

A reporter once asked Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook: What’s the secret to your current achievements?

Zuckerberg responded with an analogy:

“Life is like a hard drive. The bigger the hard drive, the more it can hold. Only by maximizing its space and capacity can we do more things at the same time and gain more results.”

If you choose to continue to work instead of retiring early in life to enjoy the fruit of your achievement, then at least you should remember this.

In the days to come, learn to expand your memory, accept emotions, change your mentality, and break your cognition. Continuously cultivate the pattern, reshape yourself, let yourself continue to increase in value, and become stronger and stronger.

Then, at least, although you are still working when you should have retired, you are working in a good mood, and you will be active, happy, and healthy for a long long working life.
