A strange feeling

2009-02-27View Original

Thread Content

From state-owned enterprises to private companies, I’ve worked very hard; last year I was promoted and received rewards from my boss. However, my salary is only average. I’m committed to managing the company, but lack the necessary resources (in private companies, it’s the boss who makes all the decisions, with no established systems). I feel lost... Now, with the financial crisis, things are tough for businesses, and there’s less work available... My former colleagues all earn more than me now; I see people from our same generation driving Mercedes-Benzes... Can hard work and dedication truly lead to rewards? How can one maintain clarity of purpose by staying humble?

In comparison, there is no happiness; let’s maintain peace, aim high, and stay grounded

It’s impossible for everyone to become Bill. Gates, right? Compared to those who are unemployed, one should be content with what they have.

Why do you want to switch from a state-owned enterprise to a private one?

Work diligently; don’t engage in blind competition!

There’s no comparison. My classmate is planning to buy a car right after graduating, while I can barely afford to get food

Everyone’s opportunities vary from one period to another; one should compare themselves to themselves and believe in themselves.

Personally, I feel that private enterprises have more room for growth than state-owned enterprises, though this is not the case for larger state-owned enterprises. A little advice for the original poster: \"Comparing oneself to others is frustrating.\" If you think your classmates are doing better than you, maybe they think you’re doing well enough. It’s important to be content with what one has.:lol

Don’t compare too much. See one’s own strengths! Believe in yourself!

Hehe, of course. It’s the mindset that matters; reality can be quite cruel sometimes. It’s uncomfortable to go to an upscale club with clients and spend a lot of money, only to see children on the street kneeling and asking for two yuan... Parents always try to save a few dollars no matter what..... What kind of logic is that?!

Yes, if you want to set clear goals, can you afford to be indifferent? 2 extremes, I guess

Personally, I think one shouldn’t be indifferent when they have clear aspirations; waiting to become indifferent once those ideals are achieved. The differences between people are also evident in daily life – there’s too much unfairness. It’s possible that classmates have gone through a lot of hardships before they can afford a Mercedes; we just don’t know about it until the end. Everyone has their own way of striving, so one should work hard to live the lifestyle they desire

Improve yourself and don’t let things that you can’t even solve bother you~

Life is about one's mindset; only inner peace is eternal.

Many years after graduation, some classmates have risen to higher positions, some have become wealthy, while others are still struggling to make ends meet. People may differ in personality, but not in ability; however, the opportunities available to each person at different times vary greatly. It can be said that when comparing classmates, it’s easy to engage in unhealthy competition, which is frustrating. Sometimes it’s necessary to adjust one’s mindset – there are too many unfairnesses in the world, which lead to different ways of working hard and different lifestyles, and this can give rise to confusing feelings.

It must be the darkest before dawn! Just get through this moment, and it will be fine! The original poster is a motivated and good young person; they definitely have a bright future ahead of them. We just need to wait patiently (⊙ o ⊙)!
