The day before yesterday, Uncle Zhao asked me to help his nephew find a job. I was surprised and quickly asked Uncle Zhao, \"Didn’t he get into the bank with the highest score in the whole city six months ago?\" ” Uncle Zhao said with a worried expression, “Sigh, I already changed jobs!” He changed jobs three times in half a year, and in each job he felt humiliated…” When he started working at the bank, he ranked high in the recruitment exams; he had a degree in economics as well, and his supervisors valued him greatly. But just two months into working there, he felt he was familiar with the tasks. He used his work time to play on his phone, and unfortunately his supervisor saw this, leading to severe criticism from him. He failed to recognize his own faults and instead felt deeply wronged. He said he couldn’t stand it and resigned the next day. Soon he found a second job and started working at another bank. After working there for a little over a month, I was reprimanded by the front desk manager due to a small mistake at work. Unable to bear it, he resigned and left that very afternoon. The third job was not so easy to find; it took half a month before I managed to get a position as a cashier at an auto detailing shop. Once, because of a dispute with a colleague, the boss deducted the bonuses from both of them. While his colleagues stayed to reform themselves, he left his job in a fit of anger, unable to tolerate being humiliated. To this day, he is still looking for a job everywhere. In fact, whose work is free from hardships? When it comes to work, attitude determines everything. If you choose to leave at the slightest setback or give up in frustration, you will never find a suitable job. Compared to his nephew, Uncle Zhao’s journey of struggle could be turned into an inspirational drama. In the 1980s, Uncle Zhao, who had finished junior high school, came to the city to work with 5 yuan in his pocket. With no money or education, his first job was washing dishes at a restaurant. Although his assigned task was merely washing dishes, he helped with chopping wood, sweeping, picking vegetables, and drawing water from the well as well. But as he kept working at it, all these tasks became his responsibility. Seeing that he was honest, the workers simply gave up watching over him; whenever the boss wasn’t around, they would assign all the miscellaneous and heavy tasks to him. One winter afternoon, the weather was exceptionally cold. He chopped the wood and wanted to sit in the sun for a while. When he went inside to carry the benches, a laborer crossed his arms and said to him, “Go wash this basket of cabbages!” ”Another laborer also carried a basket: “There’s also these scallions and ginger; wash them together!” ” Uncle Zhao clearly suffered, but he didn’t say anything. He carried the basket over to the well and cleaned it carefully. I didn’t expect the boss to see all of this. He snatched the basket and said, “You’re really patient!” I’m taking you as my apprentice; have them do all this work! ” From then on, Uncle Zhao studied hard to master the craft and became a chef. Later on, the owner retired and sold the restaurant to Uncle Zhao at a low price. Uncle Zhao lived up to his teacher’s expectations by dedicating himself to studying cooking skills and business management, and the small restaurant eventually turned into a distinctive hotel in our city. Uncle Zhao these days exercises early and drinks tea late, leading a life of fine clothes and delicious food. Uncle Zhao told his nephew, “Only by being able to endure the hardships of work can one enjoy the blessings of life.” ” When not understood or questioned at work, do not give up or compromise; focus all your wisdom and enthusiasm to make today’s work perfect. When you are finally recognized and affirmed, you will realize that the frustration caused by misunderstandings and exclusion is like the pole in a high jump competition – without its support, how could you reach the desired height? When faced with difficulties at work, one does not back down or complain, but tries every possible way to overcome them. When things improve, you will realize that the hardships you faced along the way were nothing more than a source of motivation that helped you reach the goal. I once read a famous saying: As you grow up, you will realize that to succeed in society, it is necessary to be able to withstand criticism. In the face of criticism, if it is one’s own mistake, one should accept it humbly; if it is a misunderstanding on the other person’s part, it’s best to laugh it off – time will prove things right. Although there is no distinction between high and low-status jobs, people certainly have preferences when it comes to their work. Only those who are passionate about their work will do so with joy in their hearts; even if they feel a bit frustrated, they won’t give up easily. There is no successful person who has not suffered hardships. The greater the amount of grievances you can bear, the greater the achievements you can make. Those who are able to endure hardships are like the ocean, which is willing to lower itself – and it is this that enables it to hold back countless rivers, creating a magnificent sight. Those who are able to achieve great things are those who can endure grievances; such people are optimistic and strong, have a broad mind, and possess the qualities essential for success. Only with a sunny heart can one see the beauty in life, and only then can one truly enjoy its blessings.
