The workplace is a place for tempering people. Some people are smooth, reasonable and able to do things, so they are promoted faster. Some people don't know how to do things in the workplace, but they often complain about the unfair fate. Here are 7 golden rules of the workplace for everyone, hoping to help you in your career promotion.
What you think determines what you do, and what you do determines how you live.
I heard a joke. A man went to ask his boss: I have 10 years of work experience, why don't you give me a raise? The boss said, "You don't have 10 years of work experience. You have used one year of work experience for 10 years.".
The really powerful people actually win in thinking. Having contacted many industry elites, all of them have mastered some "golden laws" of high efficiency.
To sum up, there are seven.
1. Mushroom law
We all want to make great efforts in our work and become famous in the first battle, but the reality is that we sit quietly in our seats without being noticed and can only do some chores.
Without guidance and support, they are occasionally criticized and criticized, just like mushrooms growing in a dark corner.
This phenomenon has a professional term, which is called mushroom law.
Mushrooms without sunshine and fertilizer will be noticed only when they grow tall and strong enough.
And that time of cocooning in the dark is the hardest.
Give up who will, only those who know how to hibernate, will become butterflies.
When you are regarded as a "mushroom", it is no use trying to emphasize that you are a "ganoderma lucidum". Only by making use of the environment, growing up as soon as possible, and emerging from the mushroom heap, can people see your value.
2. Backup law
When programmers program, there must be a backup. In case of hard disk failure, code loss and no backup, the loss will be quite heavy.
Backup is another preparation.
So is life.
When you only give yourself a choice, once the door is closed, you can only fight with trapped animals. Backup is another possibility.
A western philosopher said, "Learn to cut your nails with your left hand, because your right hand may not always work."
This is the law of backup: those who have a clear mind have two hands to prepare for everything, and never go to the end with one mind.
Everyone hopes that the years will be quiet, but the reality is that the river is always flowing.
What is terrible is not sudden changes, but after encountering changes, there is no choice.
To give yourself more backup is to give life more possibilities.
3. Occam's razor law
Do you know how long you have been working efficiently in a week? Research data shows that people work an average of 45 hours a week, of which 17 hours are not efficient at all.
Many people are used to winning with "more", but the more things they want to do, the less they can accomplish.
As a result, our body and mind are exhausted every day, and our achievements are few. To change the status quo, first learn to simplify your work.
In the 14th century, logician Occam put forward a "razor law", which means the law of simplicity:
Just like picking up a razor, shave off the redundant steps and simplify the complicated things. If you can do it in two steps, don't do it in three steps.
Experts always like to defeat the enemy with one move. They will never end the 300 round long winded battle.
People who can simplify things have taken a shortcut to success.
4. Walson's law
We try to improve our professional skills, but often ignore another important thing: information.
Many people are better than you, not because they are better than you, but because they know more than you.
If you want to seize the opportunity, you must first learn to find it.
It is difficult for you to get information before others and take action quickly.
5. Apple law
If a pile of apples is good or bad, which one do you eat first?
The wisest answer is to eat the good first and throw away the bad.
Because, if you eat the bad first, the good will slowly deteriorate, so you will never eat the sweet good apple.
This "apple law" also applies in work.
Sometimes, what makes us dizzy is not the amount of work, but our confusion about priorities and what to do first.
In fact, what you do first is more important than how much you do.
This is also the first essence of time management: always do the most important thing first.
Otherwise, Kong will waste his energy on the unimportant things, and the really important things will only be delayed to the dead end of time, with no time or ability to deal with them.
6. Benchmarking law
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a company proposed a management method called "benchmarking law": the level of competitors is to improve their own benchmarking.
Today, this law is still the only one that helps us approach success: those opponents you hate are your best teachers and most accurate benchmarks.
In the face of competition, don't be full of complaints, criticism and jealousy. How can you improve if you don't play against your opponent?
Aim at the best people around you and treat them as free promotion classes.
It is because of the existence of your opponent that you will continue to become stronger.
7. Cabe's law
Sometimes, success requires a pattern called "giving up".
Kabei, former president of AT&T, put forward a suggestion to employees: Sometimes giving up is more meaningful than striving for it. It is the key to innovation.
This is the "Cabe's Law" which was later regarded as a classic.
If you have an empty cavity of blood, but always in the insignificant things, struggling, it is not persistent, but stupid.
When the direction is wrong, stopping is also a kind of progress.
Find out what you are good at and understand your strength. Only by choosing the right direction can you see hope.
Einstein once said: "If you give me an hour to answer a question about my life and death, I will first spend 55 minutes to figure out what the question is asking. Once I know what it is asking, the remaining 5 minutes are enough to answer the question."
What you think determines what you do, and what you do determines how you live. The only difference between you and a master is the way of thinking.
Understand and master these seven golden laws, so that you can apply force in the most critical link.
Only with high efficiency can we get twice the result with half the effort.
