Later, Du Lei was sent to the province to participate in a bartending competition.But he was not technically good at all, and he couldn't make a fake this time, so it was difficult to win honor for the winery. Du Lei's retreat provided an opportunity for Wang Tao to stand out.Because Wang Tao studied all day long, the wine he concocted was highly praised by the experts present and won the highest award.After Wang Tao came back, the factory director dismissed Du Lei. He also found out the truth about the competition in the factory, and removed Du Lei's uncle from the position of supervisor of the financial department, and let Wang Tao be in charge of the brewing technology of the whole factory.Two years later, Wang Tao was promoted to deputy general manager of the winery.

If you want to win in the workplace, you must learn to tolerate all kinds of unfairness.A man can bend and stretch, and bending is temporary, for the sake of long-term career and ideals.If you can't bear temporary grievances, you won't be able to realize your aspirations and display your ambitions.Wang Taoying believes in his own ability and is willing to rely on his own ability to do things, and he knows how to bow his head and endure when he is under the roof of others.If he had started head-to-head with Du Lei and the others, he would have been pushed out by their partnership in the end, and it was impossible for him to get the chance to show his talents and be proud in the future.

When a strong enemy pushes you under a high wall, and you have nowhere to go, when you are facing a doorway at the foot of the wall, don’t you have to stand there and catch it without a fight, and would rather be broken than whole?Or, you still have to pass, but you don't want to let go of your arrogance and bow your head, but rush forward with your head held high. "Killing".So, you have to understand: If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. If you climb through that small hole, there will be a bright future again!

In the face of injustice, do you resist angrily, or choose to retreat with forbearance?Neither of these two approaches may be a good approach. Instead of getting angry or getting depressed, it is better to face it calmly for the time being and wait for the opportunity to fight back in the future.

No matter what injustice you encounter, don't complain

Jack Ma, CEO of Alibaba Group, said such a famous saying in the workplace: If a person wants to become an excellent entrepreneur, he must first have the wisdom of never complaining.Complaints are the biggest enemy of a workplace person on the way forward.When encountering a problem at work, if you can propose a solution, the boss will naturally be very happy; if you behave like a whiner and keep complaining more than the boss, how can the boss appreciate you, you will only make his mood change. worse.

If you keep complaining about your work, it will only bring you more negative hints, and you will be less enthusiastic about your work, let alone realize your potential at work.You know, your boss hired you to solve problems, not to make you complain.

There are a lot of educated and talented people who are always complaining about underpayment, poor treatment, bad working conditions, etc.Originally, the boss wanted to promote them, but because they complained all day, he gave up this idea, because the boss was afraid that they would pass on their complaints to other people.

Toni Morrison is a famous black American female writer and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.Morrison grew up in a poor family. Every day after school, she went to the rich family in the town to do odd jobs for a few hours to earn some tuition and living expenses.

One day, Morrison was wronged at a rich man's house, so he went home and complained a few words.After hearing his daughter's complaints, the father said seriously: "You are just working there, not living there. Remember, don't complain about your work at any time, let alone bring your complaints home. Just go to work , and then just take the money and come home.”

Morrison later recalled that from her father's words, she realized that no matter what kind of work she had to do well, it was not for the boss, but for herself. Complaining about work was complaining about herself.

Since then, Morrison has worked for different people: some selfish, some stupid, some small... But she never complained again.

Later, Morrison changed careers and became a writer. In terms of literary creation, she always kept her father's teachings in mind, which laid a solid foundation for her future Nobel Prize in Literature.

Morrison's story reminds everyone in the workplace: no matter what kind of grievances you encounter at work, you must stop complaining.If you complain about everything, even if you put in a lot of hard work in the process of work, the final harvest will be greatly reduced.Therefore, we must establish a correct attitude at work, no matter what kind of work we must do well, not for others, but for ourselves.Most successful professionals do not achieve success by complaining.

After Feng Xiaoxiao graduated from university, she found a good job in a private enterprise, and she was full of enthusiasm for her work.After get off work every day, she and her colleagues take the company's shuttle bus home.However, it didn't take long for Feng Xiaoxiao to stop taking the bus, but to go home by bus alone.

Maybe everyone will wonder, is it because Feng Xiaoxiao doesn't get along well with his colleagues?In fact, there is a reason why Feng Xiaoxiao would rather squeeze the bus home than take the free one.It turned out that on the shuttle bus, a colleague said every day that the company was not good here and there was not good, complained that the company's products were not good, complained that the boss always liked to find fault with the egg, and that the decision-making was not in place.

Feng Xiaoxiao said: "When I arrived at the company every morning, I started a day of intense work. Every night when I got home from get off work, I had to listen to his non-stop complaints, which made me feel very frustrated, which directly affected my mood at work the next day." Therefore, Feng Xiaoxiao decided to go home alone.She doesn't want to be infected by that complaining colleague, which will change her work enthusiasm and affect the quality of her work.

Not long ago, the colleague who always complained was dismissed by the company due to poor work performance, and Feng Xiaoxiao worked hard all day long without complaint or regret, and his work performance was excellent. Promoted to Assistant Manager.

In reality, there are such people in almost every company: "complainers" and "complainers".They always like to talk about this and that in the company, either complaining about this unfairness or that unreasonable one.They are perpetually critical, angry, angry, defensive, anxious, and frustrated instead of thinking about solutions to their problems.No matter where you are in the company, the complaints of these "whiners" will always pierce your ears. They justifiably criticize others and complain that they are treated unfairly.These people often don't know how they lose to others in the workplace.

He Bilai is a business elite of the company. In the year-end performance evaluation, his performance ranked No.5 in the company.He calculated that he could get at least 2 yuan year-end bonus.Thinking of this, He Bilai felt happy and worked harder.But to everyone's surprise, He Bilai's name was not on the bonus list announced by the company, and several colleagues with worse sales performance than him were selected.

He Bilai couldn't believe it, thinking that the company must have made a mistake.So, He Bilai decided to seek an explanation from his boss.The boss patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The distribution of year-end awards this time is not only based on performance, the company also conducted an anonymous questionnaire survey, and the assessment of a person's work attitude accounts for a very important proportion. Many colleagues in the unit reported that You complained too much at work, which caused a lot of misunderstandings among colleagues, lowered team morale, and caused some customers to lose on several occasions. Therefore, the company decided to cancel your bonus qualification. I hope you can reflect on this opportunity , and strive to do better in the coming year.”

After hearing what his boss said, He Bilai felt very ashamed. He lowered his head and left the boss's office without saying a word.He Bilai knew in his heart that what his boss said was right. Whenever something went wrong at work, he would complain and complain. For this reason, his colleagues even called him a "complainer" in private. nickname.

From the above examples, we can see that although He Bilai is excellent in business, he always likes to complain about unfair fate, his boss's poor handling of affairs, his colleagues' faults, and the company's strict system... The leader left a very bad impression, and as a result, the year-end award was not selected.

"Xunzi Honor and Disgrace" has a saying: "Those who know themselves do not blame others, those who know their fate do not blame the sky; those who blame others are poor, and those who blame the sky have no ambition." Don't complain about everything, because complaining will not only not solve the problem, but will also make you fall into a trap. Dilemma.

President Roosevelt of the United States once went to a small town to give a speech. In the middle of his speech, someone interrupted him and retorted: "Why are your words so different from what you said five years ago?" Roosevelt replied flatly: "Yes, Five years ago I thought very differently than I do now, and now I believe I was wrong."

Maybe Roosevelt's answer is just a language skill, but this attitude is also worth learning.Zi Gong once said: "A gentleman's faults are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Everyone sees his faults; what's more, everyone admires them." It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, as long as you remember the lessons and work hard to correct them, it won't take long Punish yourself for past mistakes, affecting your future life.

Luqiu Luwei, a well-known war reporter, gave a speech at Fudan University. In the speech, she did not tell her success story, but used her two failure experiences to tell college students her own perception, that is, everything returns to zero.

When Luqiu Luwei just graduated from the philosophy department of the university, she saw an accounting firm recruiting English translators, so she handed in her resume, and she quickly got an interview opportunity.

During the interview, Luqiu Luwei was very confident. She felt that her English was very good. Unexpectedly, the examiner took out an accounting statement and asked her to translate it. Facing these professional terms that she had never seen before, Luqiu Luwei was dumbfounded holding a dictionary .After a long time, she handed over the report she barely translated to the examiner, who shook her head after reading it.

The failure of this interview hit Luqiu Luwei very hard, and she was no longer as confident as before.Half a year later, she went to work in another accounting firm. This company paid great attention to the professional ability training of newcomers. After several months of training, Luqiu Luwei felt that she had regained her confidence in English.

Luqiu Luwei has always been quite satisfied with her image. After entering the news industry, she is still very confident and always looks smug when facing the camera.Until that day, the boss frowned and said to her: "Your image is really not suitable for TV programs. With so many freckles on your face, it looks very bad."

To a young girl, this sentence seemed like a slap in the face, and it stunned Luqiu Luwei all of a sudden.She was depressed and desperate for many days, and every time she saw the camera, she remembered what her boss said, lost her original calmness, and became a little timid.

At this moment, an old senior who has always liked Luqiu Luwei woke her up with a sentence: "Whether you are beautiful or not is not the most important thing in a TV show. In the show, you can make the audience like you and attract them." Watch your show, that's the point."

Luqiu Luwei suddenly understood that she no longer was obsessed with the freckles on her face, and devoted herself to the content of the program, hoping that her program would be recognized by the audience and generate her own value.After a period of time, she developed her own style, bravely went deep into the Afghan battlefield to collect first-hand news materials, and became a famous Chinese female reporter.At the end of the speech, Luqiu Luwei concluded: "In the workplace, the more you are in a situation of failure and despair, the more you have to open your heart, let everything in the past return to zero, and find a new direction for yourself."

Everyone in the workplace will encounter various setbacks. Some people will be devastated, give up on themselves, and lose self-confidence from then on.In fact, we might as well look at failure from another angle. It is not something that will last forever, but a very short process. Rather than saying that we have failed, it is better to say that we have not succeeded for the time being, and bravely put the failure behind us. Have a good mood and outlook to continue looking for success.

Life is a process of continuous progress. In this process, there are always failures and setbacks. However, once you pass through, there will naturally be other scenery ahead.

Coca-Cola is a household beverage in the United States. In the early 20s, the market share of this globally famous beverage began to decline, while at the same time, Pepsi's market share continued to rise.The Coca-Cola Company has come up with various marketing methods, but it has not been able to curb the downward trend of sales.At this time, Pepsi revealed such a message in its advertisement: People in the new era like drinks with new tastes.

In 1983, under the strong advocacy of Coca-Cola CEO Guo Sida, the Coca-Cola Company began a new research, preparing to develop a new flavor of Coke, in order to meet the challenge of Pepsi.

At Christmas 1984, Guo Sida decided to improve the formula of Coca-Cola.Soon, the new Coca-Cola came out.

One day in April 1985, Guo Sida held a media conference with the theme of "The Most Significant New Beverage Trend in Coca-Cola's Centennial History", and more than 4 reporters attended the interview.Guo Sida announced at the press conference that traditional Coca-Cola will withdraw from the market, and the company will bring a new type of Coca-Cola to the world.What Guo Sida didn't expect was that the reporters were full of confusion about this decision, and they raised questions one after another, "Will this decision fail miserably?" However, the unfriendly attitude of the reporters at the press conference did not affect Guo Sida's decision. With confidence, he firmly believes that this feat will be successful.

Word got around, more than 80% of Americans were talking about it, nearly 1.5 million people tried the new Coca-Cola, an unprecedented record, and the reviews praised it. peak.But in the next week, Coca-Cola's hotline was almost blown up, and every customer on the other end of the line was full of anger and dissatisfaction.For three months, an overwhelming amount of letters filled every corner of the company, all expressing the same cry—that Coca-Cola had betrayed the American people.

For a long time, Coca-Cola has been regarded as a part of their daily life by American soldiers and even ordinary people. Burning the national flag is as unbearable!" "This shatters the American dream!" "Coca-Cola's marketers will find that this stupid decision will not only fail to increase market share, but will lose more original customers!" " This is a prank!"

Negative reports emerged one after another. Guo Sida originally thought that if he waited patiently, he would survive, but the situation intensified.In the end, Guo Sida, who could no longer resist the pressure, learned this business lesson and decided to give in. At the press conference in July, he solemnly announced that Coca-Cola would restore the original formula, and called it "a significant moment".Once the news was released, the whole world breathed a sigh of relief.Early the next morning, all the newspapers in the United States reported the good news with headlines.The Coca-Cola Company spent nearly 7 million U.S. dollars to research new flavors, but it ended in such a massive failure. However, Coca-Cola Company, which bid farewell to the mistake and restored the tradition, used this lesson to find its own direction again, and made a big mistake. It became a means of commercial marketing and once again won the leading position in the American beverage industry.

It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, get out of this mistake immediately, don’t be afraid of the negative impact of the mistake, because it will slow down your progress, as long as your attitude is always positive and your attitude is always frank, the mistake will not become a burden.

There is a saying in "The Analects of Confucius", "Don't talk about the success of the event, don't complain about the success of the event, and forget the past".Who in the workplace has never made a mistake?Past mistakes should be passed quickly, and we should use all our energy to face the present and the future, so as to avoid making mistakes again.
