What is a freelancer? Please answer in detail, thank you very much

Freelancer

Freelance refers to a profession that is free from the control of enterprises and companies, manages itself, and focuses on individual labor, such as lawyers and freelance writers. People, independent actors and singers are also included, and by extension, it seems that small traders and hawkers practicing stalls on the street are also included in this category. They are similarly unorganized.

Generally speaking, the intellectual content of the products produced by freelancers is relatively high and they are irreplaceable to a certain extent (small merchants and hawkers are not included in this category). Only Wang Xiaobo can write novels and essays, and not everyone can do it as a lawyer. It is precisely because these people have such special skills that society rewards them and allows them to be free. The hawkers who practice stalls have considerable freedom, but they are not respected because their labor does not require high skills. The work of freelancers is individual and does not require the participation of others. The interference of others will mess things up. Before writing an article, you can certainly discuss it with others to expand your thinking and inspire inspiration, but the inspiration for a good article is entirely an individual act. From ancient times to the present, it is rare to see good works that have multiple people working together. If Li Bai and Du Fu collaborated and wrote a poem together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very clever. Creation is the free expression of personality. Industrial labor is the opposite. A single person cannot make a car. Success requires the cooperation of a large number of collaborators. Freelancing is a highly intelligent, independent way of working.

Freelancing has gradually emerged and developed slowly since the reform and opening up. In the past, there was no such thing as freelancing. Everyone was affiliated to a certain company or unit, and few people could escape the "organization." No matter how highly intelligent the labor was, it was also restricted by various rules and regulations, and was subject to supervision and interference from all aspects. A writer's writing is subject to leadership intentions and social conditions. The so-called combined creative ladies were the freaks of that period. At that time, even the profession of lawyer was abolished, what about the rest? After the reform and opening up, all industries have been revitalized, elites from all walks of life have come to the fore, and people are no longer satisfied with the safe but colorless life of a big pot. Especially in some economic and cultural fields, some intellectuals have shown strong independent personalities, hoping to get rid of the restrictions of "organization" and restore the identity of traditional freelancers. As a result, a large number of "free people" emerged.

I enjoy being a freelancer

There are many benefits to being a freelancer. From the most superficial level, there are four major advantages:

One word: No need Look at the boss's face. In the world, the boss is the ugliest person. He controls your salary and your position, and can manipulate you as he pleases. Moreover, all bosses want to maximize profits with minimal investment, and they are also harsh on their employees. It is inevitable. No matter what the boss's face looks like, whether he smiles or not, if you read it carefully, it all has the word "ruthless". I have a friend who works for a foreign company. He is scolded by his boss every day. He is in a panic and has no peace. He has nightmares all night long and eventually has a mental breakdown. It is so painful! When you become a freelancer, all problems disappear. You are your own boss, and no one can look down on you. As long as you don't go beyond the moral and legal warnings, you can do whatever you want.

Two: No need to work nine to five. Working from nine to five is very hard. I don’t dare to make trouble too late at night, and I can’t snooze in the morning. When the alarm clock rings, I have no choice but to crawl out of the soft bed and go to the army. If you were a free man, you would not have these pains. You can play as you like, sleep as long as you want, even if you lie in bed without eating, drinking or defecating from morning to night, no one will interfere with you. In this world, only the quilt is the most lingering, and you must never let it down.

Three: Avoid disputes among colleagues. Dealing with the relationship between colleagues is the most annoying thing in the office. If you are not careful, it will cause a lot of disputes that are constantly being resolved and messed up, making people uncomfortable. Good thing now, you are a freelancer and you no longer have a long-term stalemate relationship with colleagues. You can boldly do what you want to do, with less constraints and higher work efficiency.

Fourth: There is no need to be strict with your appearance. When you become a freelancer, you get rid of the shackles of office attire. You don't need to wear suits and ties. You can wear whatever you want and no one dares to care about you. Who will be in the way if you don't brush your teeth for a week? The great writer Chen Cun is a typical free system, even if he is on TV?? Selling ⒁cloth ξ ξ exhausted prostitute Deng? Write 笫Ψ缍 to get 5 ratios and 诗褟椦right and 诼 environs φ蕖鈖或外围? So?

Furthermore, since freelancers are a relatively free and active work space, it is easier to inspire inspiration and creativity.

Some people say, "I have been a beggar for three years and I never want to go to the Jinluan Palace again." This is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows people's yearning for an unfettered life. I have a friend who started a law firm as a partnership, and the business is doing well. Recently, a foreign company hired him to be a manager of some department, with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. It was a good job. Since he had not earned so much in two years, he thought about it for a few days and finally decided not to go. He said, "I don't want to do it." Look at the boss’s face.”

Are freelancers really free?

In fact, the so-called freedom is relative. You must not think that being an independent singer, a lawyer, or a freelance writer means you can have unlimited freedom and no worries. There is no such good thing in the world.

Today is a market economy. Everything is about exchange. If you want to take something, you have to give it. If you want to be famous and show off to the world as a star, you have to sacrifice some privacy. Sometimes you have to create scandals to attract the attention of the audience; When you become a lawyer, you have to suspend your daily moral judgments, put away your personal likes and dislikes, and defend the guilty and the innocent. Even if you are a writer, you cannot write according to your own temper. You have to cater to the editor's taste and touch quasi-popular fashion, otherwise there will be no way to submit articles and your livelihood will be in question.
