People who work can be roughly divided into three stages according to their seniority.: Freshmen, middle-level cadres and senior executives who have recently entered society. Each of the three stages of work has different characteristics, opportunities and risks. Therefore, if we can recognize these three different stages of work, we can better understand our roles at different levels, and we can also get rid of some entanglements that are close to fate. People working in these three stages can be compared to three animals. A fresh person who has just entered society is like a bird - he has just hatched and started to learn. * Flying bird. The advantage of a little bird facing the vast world is that there are endless opportunities and unlimited space for it to spread its wings. But Xiaoniao also needs to figure out how he wants to grow. The advantage of the little bird is that it has not been affected by the environment, * limited or restricted by habits and conditions, so all kinds of novel attempts and possibilities are under the wings. You can choose to be a house bird and stay under other people's roofs ； You can also choose to become a forest bird and live in a dense forest ； You can also choose to become a migratory bird and travel around as the seasons change. However, be careful. There are so many novel choices that you will be dazzled. Or, you choose to become a bird that is not suited to your physical strength and nature. Or, you keep changing your way of survival, and finally forget what kind of bird you are. Or, you choose the convenient way of foraging close to the crowd, and end up falling prey to someone else’s slingshot. After working for a period of time and becoming a backbone cadre in a company or organization, you become a camel. During this period of time, you have generally accumulated enough experience and abilities in your job, so your company and your boss are willing to trust you or use you to repeatedly hand over the heavy workload for you to bear. In life, you have generally married, or become a father or a mother, and you have your family responsibilities to fulfill. At this time, the camel is no longer like a bird that can fly at will. Even if there is an opportunity for change, you no longer dare to try easily. Camels can only walk in the vast desert. The boss is like the scorching sun overhead in the desert ； Subordinates are like hot sand under their feet. When suffering from both sides, you can only endure the humiliation and walk silently. The advantage of the camel is that it is smooth and seems to have almost no risk. Most of the tasks in your position are already familiar to you. Not only are you familiar with him, but you are also the most familiar with him in the whole company - among the new subordinates, you are not as familiar with them as you are. ； Your boss, who is more senior than you, may have been away from this job for too long and you don’t remember it clearly - you are a backbone cadre who can be relied on. The risk with the camel, too, is that it looks like it has almost no chance. The long stretch of yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see. You have been entrusted with a great responsibility, so everything is as it should be. In fact, there is so much burden placed on you that even your figure is submerged. You are not only a camel, but a forgotten camel. Occasionally, when you are lying on the ground to rest at night, you will look at the shooting stars in the sky and make a wish, hoping to escape this fate. The camel may be envious of another animal - the whale. If you are lucky enough to be promoted from a mid-level cadre to become a high-level decision-maker or leader of a company or organization, you will become a whale. All of a sudden, you will leap from the boring desert to the vast and free sea. May the wind blow thousands of miles, others congratulate you ； The sky is boundless, you hope for yourself. The vision and realm are very different. You are relieved of the heavy burden on your back and can enjoy yourself in the ocean. However, once you enter the ocean, you have to accept everything the ocean has to offer. The sunny days are yours, and the stormy days are yours too. The most important thing is that you keep moving forward without stopping. You do not have the right to rest ashore - a whale that comes ashore is stranded and will die. Each of the three animals has its own different opportunities and risks, it just depends on how you view it. and: The metaphor of the three animals, the bird, the camel and the whale, is not only applicable to work in the workplace, but also includes work of your own creation without entering the workplace. As long as the terms "grassroots", "backbone cadres" and "decision-makers" are replaced by terms like "novice", "experienced" and "master", the concepts should be generally applicable.
