Zhou: Just because you don't like it, you go to the new world.

Don't like the work that may lead to a new world

The world is connected, and every task that you dislike may be the gateway to another world that is open to you. Only when you walk in and discover new things do you really know whether you like the job or not.

I often get emails from my young colleagues and spit on me that I don't like my job and feel that what I'm doing doesn't make sense. This I quite understand, just graduated students will think so. When you choose to work, you must be very concerned about what company you will go to, which department, in the mind to go to a promising department, determined not to go to the boring section B.

But what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't make sense to judge what the job has in the future with a resume and experience from the beginning. To make a vulgar analogy, a few months older children first want to catch is the surface of colorful toys, rather than a rough shape of the jade. Every year I get a lot of business plans from college graduates, but their lofty ideas, they think the hot and the prospects are armchair, are subject to the so-called expert Business blog and the company's public relations soft text, but the industry still know very little.

Just as we stand on the edge of a pool, the bottom is rotten fish smelly shrimp, or coral jewelry, do not see clearly, only do not pipe it water muddy, a opposing down, just know what is the situation, the diving time will be suddenly enlightened.

If you are a computer professional graduate, unless the company arranged for you to clean the toilet, this is particularly unreasonable work, or I suggest that you do not like to do according to their likes and dislikes to judge the value of the work.

In our company, programmers have to do product testing first, product personnel to first go to the service and operation. Some young colleagues have a lot of opinions, think the company despise me, overqualified, how can I do this low-grade work?

Some companies have some smelly problems, core technical personnel often look down on pre-sale, product personnel look down on technical support and operations. In fact, where do these jobs have high-end, low-grade points? As long as you can dive in, you can find the place. When I went to college, I started a virus-proof card, which was both a technician and a product manager, and after doing it, I bought a bag to sell. Finally persuaded others to buy, out of trouble, people call me past a good scolding, I did the sale. At first, I was angry. I was also the 90 's favored, I made such a good anti-virus card, but also won the second prize of the National Challenge Cup, why stand here to let you scold? But the user spent money to buy things, did not achieve the goal, or with a bad, users have the right to scold you. In the process, I found the importance of the user experience. Users are not going to stand up to you as a technician, but if you don't look at the problem from the user's point of view, there's no place to live. This experience is a very big change in my life.

Why do product managers have to go to the guest service first, to do the operation? The reason is particularly simple, you really think that the product is to suppress in the cabin behind closed doors, draw a few lines, put a few buttons on the OK? If the product is so simple, China's internet everyone is a product manager. You say you like to do products, feel the prospect of making products, if you do not like customer service and operation, you can make good products out? Only the first guest service, first do the operation, only to know the user's distress, to understand the user's anger, to know that users scold you is reasonable. Only in this way can we make good products.

Besides, does it seem that there is no prospect in the department, it seems that no one is willing to do the task, really worthless? I'm not going to talk about the story of Steve Jobs on the art font class, that story has gone bad. My own experience, I graduated to a computer big company to work, the leadership entrusted me with a task, to a state agency to talk about the LAN email is going on. At that time, the company's technical personnel no one willing to go, all feel that the job is low-grade. I have just arrived, the result everyone seven push eight push, this matter is pushed to me. I do not like this task, but I did not choose, to bite the bullet. But I think since I teach, then I must be prepared, not to fool around for two hours, read the instructions, even if done, so irresponsible. So, I went to buy a lot of books about e-mail, after reading that the original email is so important, I am in the deeper in the email, the idea of email has also changed radically. That was at the beginning of 1996, if there is no such a task, I will not do flying e-mail, do not do flying e-mail, I have no chance to understand the Internet.

The world is connected, and every task that you dislike may be the gateway to another world that is open to you. Only when you walk in and discover new things do you really know whether you like the job or not. I suggest that you might as well think about the work you do before you forget that you like it. Some of the work I do not like so far, but do not rule out that I can do it to the extreme. I can do the things I do not like very well, there is a very personal reason, is that I always think that I am very cattle, even if I do not like the work, I will make it particularly beautiful, prove to others that I am better than them. I really learned something in the process of working to the fullest.

A Japanese entrepreneur wrote a book called Blunt force. The book says that Japan's new generation of young people, particularly sensitive, a bit of criticism, a little conflict, a little emotional change, can lead them to make a radical choice. He believed that when young, people should still be slow, let their hearts become rough a little, can withstand all kinds of exercise and pain, so as to let themselves more accumulation. I think this is a very good point. You can choose to do whatever you want when you are young, but if you don't lay a foundation for your youth, why do you live in a place where the environment is becoming more complex, more competitive, and the CPI is getting higher?

There is an old saying in China that birth is not a choice. You are born in an ordinary family, this can not choose, but the road can choose. In the company's work is a life experience, it may not be your lifelong career, and may not be your favorite thing, the most important harvest is actually your attitude, your way of doing things. Good way of doing things and attitude will not only produce good results, but also to win the leadership, colleagues and industry colleagues trust, which is more valuable wealth. This is my deepest experience. If you think you're smart, I want to be smart and tough. I have been in our generation, after the company to find the next core product technology and management personnel, I hope you can be that person!
